Chapter two hundred and fifty-six, authority
Pan Long originally thought that the punishment of the will of the abyss would be like a majestic appearance like the "Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation".
The result disappointed him. After the abyss will arrive and announced that Cang Ye would be punished, no other extra situation happened. It was like the director was so stingy that he couldn't bear to even give up the special effects for 50 cents, and it was all up to the actors to make up for it with their acting skills.
And the "actor" who needs to use acting skills to make up for the director's stinginess is naturally Cang Ye, the mother of the demon.
Its body, which was clearly not subjected to additional damage, suddenly screamed louder than before. Its body, which was nailed by the sharp gun, was twitching wildly, twisting into a strange appearance that no creature with bones or tendons could twist.
Just looking at its appearance, Pan Long had the illusion of a throbbing whole body.
It's like you obviously don't hurt at all, but when you see an actor performing a lifelike and painful injury scene, you still can't help feeling like "Damn it really hurts!"
Maybe it can be called "phantom limb pain"?
Pan Long heard more than one person gasping around him, and it seemed that he had the illusion of "phantom limb pain".
After a moment, Cangye's struggle suddenly stopped. Then its body shrank rapidly, and soon it shrunk from its original appearance that was slightly taller than an ordinary person to the size of a six or seven-year-old child.
But... Looking at the thing curled under the magic gun, no one would think that this was a child.
"The Prime Minister of Stars" Felinell sneered and said, "This skill of pretending to be pitiful is not bad."
Pan Long was a little confused: "Pretended to be pitiful? Wasn't it punished by the Abyss consciousness?"
"It was just deprived of the authority of the lord, but the authority it created, "Mother of Demons", has not completely disappeared."
“Is there any difference between the two?”
"The authority of the Lord of the Abyss is very similar to the 'priesthood' of the gods. With this authority, the Lord of the Abyss can use the territory as the kingdom of God, accept the faith and prayer of believers, and give the believers divine art...it looks similar to the gods."
"And the authority created by oneself cannot establish the kingdom of God, nor is it difficult to accept faith. Giving divine art often only has a few special abilities."
Pan Long thought for a while and asked, "If you look at it this way, it is indeed the best to have a priesthood?"
"You can't say that. The authority of the clergy is similar to that of the lord. It can be granted and deprived. But the authority you create is entirely your own, and no one can take it away."
Felinier thought for a while and said with a serious expression: "You know, we, Ailatian tribe, do not have our own race god."
Pan Long nodded, of course he knew this.
"In fact, whether the queen or me, as long as we want, we can take the last step at any time and become the race god of the Aila Tian tribe. And in terms of the number of believers, it is very likely that once we become a god, we will immediately become powerful divine power."
"Then why don't you do that?"
Felinell smiled: "Because we all want to rely on our own power to create our own authority, and no one can deprive us of authority that can exist firmly anyway."
"The gods are immortal, but the gods will lose their authority and fall into 'elimination'. But if they have the authority themselves, they will never encounter such trouble. Even if they are like Cang Ye, they are beaten to the door, nailed to the ground, and lose their clergy again, they will still be immortal."
Pan Long nodded, thinking.
The higher lich added: "We generally call those who are granted authority the ‘true gods’, and those who create authority themselves the ‘gods’. The power of gods is indeed not as perfect and comprehensive as the true gods, but if you only pursue your own powerful immortality, that kind of gods is indeed more reliable than the true gods."
"Your statement is not possible." Felinier said with a smile, "The Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of Hell are also regarded as 'gods'."
"It's just that the true gods are taboo to be with them." There is undisguised contempt in the words of the higher lich. "In fact, what's the difference between everyone? Is it better to be granted by the world? After all, if you lose authority, you will fall into a pitiful worm that 'disappeared'!"
Pan Long looked at the Demon Mother curled under the magic gun in the distance ahead and couldn't help but frown.
He once thought about whether to rely on the path of "demon-suppressing God" in this world to become the so-called "quasi-god"? Now it seems that maybe that is not a good idea.
However, the "rules" of this world may not be universal in the Jiuzhou world. Considering the situation of immortals, Buddhas and demons in the Jiuzhou world, perhaps the "like gods" are a minority and alien in no matter where they are. It is the safest way to seek recognition from the world, and ultimately obtain positive feedback from the world and be granted authority?
This question is a bit profound and he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Just as he was thinking, "Prime Minister of Stars" Felinell suddenly asked, "Pan, can you discuss something?"
Pan Long immediately let go of his thoughts: "What's the matter?"
"Your spear is very special and can nail Cangye. I want to borrow it for a while until I send Cangye to the Star King Court and lock it up in a custom private room that we have prepared for thousands of years." Felinier smiled, his smile full of revenge. "The private room was made so carefully that it took a long time to open and close, but it only took a moment to be enough."
Pan Long thought it would be a difficult problem, but unexpectedly it was such a trivial matter, so he naturally agreed.
His attitude was so refreshing, but Felinier was a little embarrassed.
The Prime Minister of Star originally planned to pay a huge price to borrow that powerful artifact, but he did not expect Pan Long to be so generous. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you want to think about it again? It will damage the artifact when nailing Cang Ye all the time..."
"Everything in the world has its value, and magical tools are no exception." Pan Long said, "It can be used to suppress the mother of the demon. Even if it is damaged by this, it is worth it to be worthy of the glory of the magic gun "meteor". It is worth the sacrifice for such a great cause."
Felinier was silent for a moment, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, thank you for your generosity. Please believe that our Ailatian tribe will never let your friends suffer losses!"
Then, he led the senior officials of the Aila Angel to cast spells together, creating a starry block, locking the Demon Mother Cang Ye, together with the magic gun "Meteor", and the skeleton throne nailed Cang Ye.
When a group of powerful angels carefully escorted the block away, Pan Long refused the suggestions of the higher lich to invite him to hunt treasures in Cangye Bone Castle and went straight back to Android Linna.
He plans to stay in this world for two months, and he can't take away no matter what he gains. Why bother to compete with others for the benefits?
It’s better to get the benefits you can get.
When I returned to Android Linna, I saw that the once towering Mother Mountain had been far shorter, and the light of purification spells was everywhere on the mountain. Obviously, after the Aila Angels occupied this mountain, they would purify it completely, and then let the entire Android Linna escape from the abyss and go to the upper plane to become the home of kind creatures.
Pan Long helped to purify the magic circle through painting. After almost a day of busy work, the work was finally completed.
Accompanied by violent vibrations, unwilling roars came from a distance, but soon became farther and farther away, and eventually disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Pan Long finally saw the prompt that he had been waiting for a long time.
【The 471st-level Android Linna of the Demon Realm has been purified]
Open the character panel, and the third ring of the advanced Demon Suppression God mission "Purify the entire Demon Realm" and the fourth ring "Kill or suppress a big devil", have been marked.
Now, he only needs to upgrade his character level to level 1 and then hold a ritual of sacrifice to the sky to complete the advancement and become a member of the "Demon-Suppressing God".
