"Should you have tried to resist?"
"Yes. Garner and I have tried to resist..." The sadness in Elanthel's eyes became more and more intense, "But how can mortals resist the gods?"
Colin was silent for a while, then asked again:
"So, after Garner's death, you took the elves and hid in the Huiyue Forest?"
"Yes. In Ghana, we saw clearly the deception of the so-called god-followed professional system. It is just that the gods are picking high-level thugs for themselves...
Since then, I have lost confidence in all the gods, including the goddess of fate. After hiding in the Huiyue Forest, I ordered the disbandment of the Church of Fate... "
Hearing this, Colin finally understood why the elves became the fragmented scene they are today.
Thinking of the entrustment of the old elf before, Colin still opened his mouth and said:
"Not all elves agree with your decision, right? I met an old man before, and he asked me to tell you that his belief in the goddess of fate has never wavered."
Yilan Seer suddenly showed sarcasm and said:
"Really? But when I announced Ghana's fate and the conspiracy of the gods, almost all the elves expressed righteous indignation. There were no pious prayers in the hall of the Church of Destiny, and even the elf king took the initiative to abolish his ranger cultivator." For this reason, it was also announced that the priests were prohibited from continuing to preach and continue to baptize new rangers.
At that time, I thought that Goddess of Fate would send divine punishment to punish the world.
Unfortunately, nothing happened afterwards.
I was already prepared to face death, anyway, Garner died, and I wanted to follow him a long time ago.
But the silence of the goddess of fate after that made me puzzled.
Doesn't He really worry about running out of faith
Does He really not care about inheritance in the mortal world
Have we really misunderstood the gods
However, now it seems that I am still too naive, thinking that this kind of non-cooperative means can threaten the gods, but in fact, He has long seen the cowardice of us mortal creatures!
See, it's only been a thousand years of decline, and most elves can't stand it anymore.
They actually missed the goddess of fate once abandoned by them again! "
The more Ilanthel said, the more excited she became, and her expression was full of grief and indignation:
"Compared to poor freedom, they obviously desire to be strong, even if this kind of power is based on being enslaved!"
Colin sighed in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while.
In fact, when Mr. Ji proposed to him to abolish the Glorious Church, it was for this reason that he felt that it was an unreliable suggestion.
The religion of this era played an irreplaceable important role in maintaining the rule. Even though it had various flaws, at least it gave countless cowardly and ignorant people a spiritual sustenance, and gave the aristocratic class a stable foundation for inheritance.
It is not that Ke Lin is unwilling to reform, but that he deeply understands that changes in production relations must conform to the development of productive forces.
With the backward productivity conditions of the current era, there is no soil for the growth of idealism such as democracy, freedom, and equality.
Forced reform will only bring about greater turmoil.
In the end, the people will instead call for the return of the original order, looking forward to the appearance of the "shepherd" in their hearts.
In order to change this, the first task is not to kill the shepherds, but to prevent the people from becoming blindly obedient lambs.
But this requires enlightening people's wisdom and a complete education system.
However, this was simply impossible before the Industrial Revolution.
The backward productivity means that the people can only run around all day long to fill their stomachs, how can they have the leisure to receive a complete enlightenment education.
Elanthel's forcible dissolution of the Church of Destiny can only bring about the decline of the elves, but cannot completely eliminate the people's expectations for the goddess of destiny.
It is conceivable that even if she insists on not compromising, sooner or later other priests will re-raise the banner of the goddess of fate and re-establish a belief system among the elves.
While meditating, Ellanthel's voice sounded again:
"Duke Saint Chapman, since you can get here through the barrier of Huiyue Forest, you must be a legendary paladin, right?"
"Yes."
"Knowing what happened to Garner, you definitely don't want to become a servant of the gods..."
"Wait." Ke Lin's heart moved, and he suddenly interrupted, "Your Excellency the High Priest, I want to ask, what happened to the Great Emperor Ghana?"
"Of course, he became an 'angel' under the Lord of Radiance. However, he is called an angel, but he is no different from a servant. If you don't want to fall into the same fate, I have a suggestion."
Colin asked calmly:
"What advice?"
"Since Garner's death, for more than a thousand years, I have been painstakingly researching ways to escape the shackles of the gods. Recently, I have an idea. Although I don't know if it will be successful, I believe you will be willing to help me try it?"
"Oh? What method?"
Elanther stood up from the branch, pointed to the leafy oak tree above his head, and extended an invitation to Colin:
"Duke St. Chapman, my tree house is at the top of the oak tree, please follow me."
As she spoke, she dexterously jumped up the branches, but when she turned her head, she saw that Colin was still standing under the tree without moving.
"Duke Saint Chapman, why don't you follow?"
Ke Lin looked at the huge oak tree towering into the sky and shimmering with crystal light in front of him, suddenly smiled faintly, and said:
"Your Excellency, High Priest, you should explain clearly first, is there any way to help me escape the shackles of the gods?"
Yilan Seer smiled and said:
"I can't explain this in a few words, so you should come with me."
But Colin still didn't move.
Elanther raised her hand and put the long hair on the side of her face behind her ears, and said with a smile:
"Duke Saint Chapman, are you wary of me?"
"Shouldn't it?" Colin said bluntly, "This is the first time we've met, how can I believe that you really want to help me?"
Elanther pursed her lips, seeming to be uneasy about Colin's wariness, but explained patiently:
"I'm not just helping you, exposing the true face of the gods, so that all living beings in the world can gain true freedom is my lifelong wish, and it is also the only way I can pay homage to Ghana..."
"Are you the lover of the Great Emperor of Ghana?" Colin asked suddenly.
Elanther nodded.
Colin raised his mouth and said:
"When the Great Emperor of Ghana died, were you by his side?"
"Gana didn't really die, he has been transformed into an angel without self-will by the Lord of Radiance..."
"Then he can only obey the orders of the Lord of Radiance?"
"certainly."
Colin sighed, and his tone suddenly became cold:
"Elansel, I thought you were always helping me secretly, but now it seems... It turns out that you have been deliberately misleading me!"
I didn't feel much during the operation, but the real hell is after the operation!
Especially changing the dressing, it was literally heart-wrenching!
I hope everyone will take me as a warning and protect your chrysanthemums...
I haven't eaten anything for the past two days, relying on nutrient solution to maintain my condition is really bad, so I will just write a chapter today, please forgive me.
In addition, many readers must have guessed that this book is almost finished.
On the one hand, Luobo’s physical condition is too bad and urgently needs to rest and adjust. On the other hand, the plot is about to end here. Colin is already invincible in the world, and if he wants to write more, he has to change the map.
But changing the map is really not as good as reopening a new book.
Therefore, it is estimated that in the next few days, Carrot will clearly explain the secrets of the blood race, gods, and druids, and then it will be over.
thanks for your support.
