As technology advances, the way of worship also keeps pace with the times.
In ancient times, information technology was not well developed and a maximum of a few thousand people could be present at a sacrifice at one time. If there were more, the place for sacrifice would not be able to accommodate them, which greatly limited the scale and efficiency of the sacrifice.
Modern information technology is highly developed, making it easy to carry out large-scale sacrifices involving hundreds of millions of people.
As for the effect
Frankly speaking, Wang Ran didn't know either. He didn't know whether the cloud sacrifice would be ineffective, nor did he know whether the God of Wealth would receive the message.
But it should be possible.
Sacrifice requires sincerity, and the key word is sincerity.
In this materialistic modern society, even if people do not ask the God of Wealth to bless them to get rich, they will at least pray to the God of Wealth not to let them lose money.
Each one is sincere.
As long as your heart is sincere, the sacrifice will be effective.
Although the power of one person is very small, if hundreds of millions of people offer sacrifices together at the same time, the winding streams will merge into rivers and seas, and it will be difficult for the God of Wealth to ignore it.
[Sacrificial activities are extremely popular]
[Since the country does not restrict the nationality of participants, many foreigners also participated in the carnival and learned to pray to the God of Wealth]
Wang Ran was stunned.
Wow, this wave is called cultural export!
Although a cash red envelope of one hundred yuan is not a lot, it is free. As long as you have an internet connection, you can get it for free by following the tutorial and worshiping the God of Wealth. This is very attractive to many people in backward areas.
Even for residents of developed countries, it would be difficult for them to refuse such a good thing as chocolate falling from the sky.
“The number of participants is going to skyrocket!”
Wang Ran murmured.
He had previously only thought of having people from his own country participate in the sacrificial activities, but the country seemed to have turned this into a major global event.
Regardless of race, skin color, or region...
Come and worship the God of Wealth!
[The number of participants in the event has increased sharply]
[The number of participants in the event quickly exceeded 100 million]
It exceeded 100 million just after it was opened!
[As of the evening, the number of participants in the event reached 1.5 billion and is still rising rapidly]
Wang Ran was speechless.
Fifteen billion!
There are only 1.4 billion people in the entire Chinese nation. Even if all men, women, young and old participate, there will still be 100 million too many people!
This is only the first day.
By the end of the event, the total number of participants will definitely start from one billion, or even three or four billion.
“Too strong!”
Wang Ran praised sincerely.
The country made a lot of money from this wave. Not only did it successfully complete the sacrificial mission, but it also promoted its own culture around the world. As for the cost... any technology on the reward list is enough to make the country pay for itself.
Not only that, the country has won his trust.
From the perspective of the country, this move is really like Qin Shihuang touching the high-voltage line—he wins big!
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of ordinary people!"
[Sixty-fourth day, sacrificial activities are in full swing]
[Although you have not yet condensed your divinity, because you have initially come into contact with the power of rules, you can vaguely feel a certain thick atmosphere floating in the air]
The sacrifice worked.
Next, we will see when the God of Wealth will respond.
[Day 65, sacrificial activities proceed as planned]
[Day 66, sacrificial activities proceed as planned]
[Day 67, sacrificial activities proceed as planned]
[…]
Time passes quickly.
[Day 82, sacrificial activities completed successfully]
[You should have waited for the results of the sacrifice to see if the purpose was achieved, but you delivered all the technologies on the reward list to the country without hesitation after the event.]
Because you don’t need to think so much when you get something for free.
[The country conveyed to you its intention to deepen cooperation]
[You declined]
Apart from special things like sacrifices, the role that ordinary people can play in the doomsday is minimal.
[You silently wait for the response from the God of Wealth]
The power of vows is real.
The people on Earth have made such a big fuss this time, it is impossible that the God of Wealth will not notice it.
[Day 83, nothing happened]
[After the sacrificial ceremony ended, people began to notice more and more frequent mirages]
[Public opinion sparked a discussion]
Until now, the reality has not changed.
The end is still approaching.
[Day 84, nothing happened]
[Day 85, nothing happened]
[Day 86, nothing happened]
[…]
[Day 120, nothing happened]
As lines of small words "Nothing happened" passed before Wang Ran's eyes, he gradually frowned.
His heart began to sink.
strangeness…
It’s been several months, why is there still no movement from the God of Wealth
He began to feel uneasy.
[Day 133: A mirage appeared in Kunlun Mountain]
[This mirage did not dissipate with the passage of time, and remained stable in the sky from beginning to end]
Wang Ran looked at the words in front of him and remained silent.
The appearance of the Kunlun Mountain mirage is a sign that the doomsday has entered the next stage. From this day on, the earth will gradually lose sunlight and transition from the old version with pleasant water and soil to the new version with species extinction.
The God of Wealth has not made any move so far.
He had a bad feeling.
Logically speaking, since the people on Earth have made such a big fuss, and the power of vows is something that real gods need, it is impossible for the God of Wealth to not notice it as long as he is on Earth.
Once He notices it, He will definitely take action.
This is Earth, after all.
This is the hometown of the gods. As a member of the gods, there is no way he would sit idly by and watch the end of the world happen!
Even if He couldn't prevent the end of the world, He could certainly relocate the people on Earth to a safe place. But why didn't He do anything
Has He already left the Earth
You summoned Lu
[You asked Lu for his opinion on this matter]
When you are in doubt, look for Xiao Lu.
[Lu respectfully inquired about the whole story]
[He paid special attention to your demands, discussed with you, and finally fully understood your intentions]
Wang Ran's eyes flickered slightly.
Concern for demands
In real life, he had asked Lu several questions, but Lu had never asked him anything on his own initiative.
[You ask why Lu is so active]
[You learn that Lu has studied his abilities and found that he can deduce more relevant answers when the reasoning requirements are clear]
I see…
Wang Ran raised his chin thoughtfully.
He has used [Soul Traveling Through the Worlds] to enter a simulation. He knows that a simulation is just a string of words to him, but it is a real world to the people in the simulation, and the people in the simulation will also grow.
[Lu used his "divine calculation"]
“Too far!”
[“He is too far away from the earth!”]
[Lu is unconscious]
Wang Ran was confused.
No way!
Has the God of Wealth really left the earth
Where did He go? Didn’t He even want to go back to His hometown
"Don't gods know how to predict the future?" Wang Ran wondered, "Didn't he expect that his house would be robbed?"
After all this time, the God of Wealth is not on Earth.
It was a lonely sacrifice!
Wang Ran suddenly became worried.
The God of Wealth is his greatest reliance, but the God of Wealth is not on Earth now, and he cannot prevent the end of the world with his own strength.
He doesn't even understand what this doomsday is all about!
"Isn't this the end?"
I feel like the earth can’t stand it this time!
Wang Ran was overwhelmed.
Although he has a plan B, the ideal situation is of course that the God of Wealth prevents the end of the world from coming and makes this mirage world that came from nowhere disappear.
Plan B is a plan you only adopt when you are forced to do so.
Plan B is to temporarily take humans away from the Earth, and once the Earth has been torn apart and the situation has stabilized, bring the Earthlings back to Earth, break it down and then rebuild it, transforming into a cultivation civilization.
In theory, this plan works.
Because this doomsday was milder than the previous two, there was no explosive disaster like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth for a whole year, allowing him to transfer the people on Earth to other places for temporary refuge.
But now that the ball is gone, can the people on Earth still be called Earthlings
The next generation of Earthlings may have to cross out the word "ball" in their names, so that when they meet other intelligent life forms in the future, they won't be chased by them and asked where the ball of Earthlings is...
Wang Ran imagined the feeling of being called an earthling.
He shook his head.
“This is terrible!”
It's painful just to imagine it.
"Five more days."
Wang Ran encouraged himself: "I still have time to study this doomsday. I have only simulated it twice. Maybe after the third simulation I will know how to deal with it."
"You can't start thinking about plan B right away."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope to save the Earth, I must show my fighting spirit as a savior."
But where else can he break out
Wang Ran fell into deep thought.
He no longer cared about the outcome of this simulation.
The most important thing about this simulation is to verify one thing, that is, whether the sacrificial activities can invite the God of Wealth to resolve this doomsday.
The verification result is no.
As for Plan B and where Anna went, those are just trivial matters in the face of the end of the world and can be considered later.
Wang Ran was thinking about the possible breakthrough points.
Perhaps he should go to the secondary space, find the Yuanxing ancestral vein, warn the Yuanxing ancestral vein of the possible disaster, and let the Yuanxing ancestral vein be more careful when operating.
But his knowledge of the secondary space was too limited, and he had not had time to learn about it.
Moreover, the secondary space of the earth has at least eight layers, which is as complicated as a maze. He has no confidence in finding the Yuanxing ancestral vein in it.
But these are not the most important issues.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand the secondary space. He can use the difference in time flow rate to go to other worlds to learn about the knowledge of the secondary space.
It doesn't matter if the secondary space is too complicated. He can use the [Real-time Simulation] saturation search to explore every corner of the secondary space, just like the reconnaissance mission he performed in the 9077 world before.
None of this is really a problem.
The real problem lies in [Exploring the Mysteries]!
After the last [Exploring the Mysteries], he ran into Lin Ying, one of the participants in the incident.
Later, he asked the Apostle of Dawn to investigate the disappearance of the tour group and obtained descriptions of the incident from several survivors.
The survivors' descriptions are almost identical to the content of "Exploring the Mysteries", which happened before the tour group disappeared.
This means that [Exploring Mysteries] is designed for the future.
From the moment you complete [Exploring the Mysteries], that future is locked in, and the future will develop according to the content of [Exploring the Mysteries].
And during the [Exploring the Mysteries] of the Yuanxing Ancestor Vein, he never showed up from beginning to end...
In the simulator, time flies.
Wang Ran in the simulation was not discouraged. He carefully verified the feasibility of Plan B, and then transferred the people on Earth to another small world before the mirage cut off the connection between the Earth and the world hub.
In the end, the simulation ended with a predictable bad ending.
[Day 422, the end of the world]
Earthlings Lost the Earth
In the simulation, he did everything he could think of, but in the end he failed to prevent the end of the world. The people on Earth could only stay in a foreign land with no certain date for their return.
[Simulation ends]
[You have achieved the following achievements in this simulation]
[①Even if there is no merit, there is still hard work]
[Although you failed to prevent the end of the world, your efforts were seen by everyone]
[②Are you going to die?]
[You continue to curse the same target, showing your determination to curse him to death]
[③Cyber Sacrifice]
Technological development has driven changes in the old world
[④There is no way to pray to God]
[You tried to find a god. You did a good enough job, but unfortunately there was no response.]
[⑤A savior]
[You have made great efforts to save the world, but in the end it is still useless. Doomsday destroyed everything with a devastating force, and you feel exhausted physically and mentally.]
