Chapter 199 Ideological Trends (Please Subscribe)

The Holy Son Nem may be nothing more than a weed, causing harm to some people, but his appearance suggests that the plan to create a Holy Son could potentially succeed.

He serves as a reference point, enabling more and more people to become aware of the existence of the Holy Son and then explore the origins of the Holy Son.

The most important aspect lies in—ideological trends.

The most complete technology for creating the Holy Son is currently in the Church, but it is controlled by those who control the land.

Twenty years ago, the creation of the Holy Son failed, and the project was abandoned due to resource constraints and external pressure.

Now that they've succeeded, will the land-grabbing faction try to create a holy son again?

The differences between factions are mainly due to only two reasons—ideologies and interests.

If the land-grabbing faction forces the Holy Son Plan, the previously peaceful internal struggle will likely turn into an internal war.

It is precisely this internal division that the ruling faction cannot tolerate.

The proponents of the "Government" movement wanted to first unify power within the church, and then, according to the principles of governance, transform the entire world.

Not only will the result be an inability to achieve unification, but a civil war will also break out first?

This is a development that the conservative faction would absolutely not allow.

“No, I will not kill you. Instead, I will watch you fail.” Gotthard looked at the Holy Son, then stood up. He did not intend to hide his true purpose.

“Only a failed saint is a human being.” Gotthard explained his philosophy: “And I am right, you are now very different from before.”

"People don't need to delve into the realm of God; they can live better simply by following the ways God has given them."

"Therefore, the best outcome is for you to be alone."

After saying that, Gotthard got up and walked outside.

The biggest difference in their philosophies also became apparent at this time.

The ruling faction focuses on governing the world and does not delve into the realm of the gods.

Although the enclosure faction was mainly composed of aristocratic forces, their ideology was that although gods were noble, there was also a close connection between gods and humans.

For example, a saint.

Therefore, humans also have a certain degree of power to interfere with the divine.

Therefore, the enclosers' research on the Holy Son did not feel it was blasphemous.

The most noble families were the families of saints, whose origins were as representatives of the gods. Because of this, they naturally had to bear some of the responsibilities that came from the gods.

This is the biggest point of conflict between the land-grabbing faction and the peace-governing faction.

The difference in concepts between humans and gods.

If Gotthard were to kill the Holy Son now, it might actually make the Enclosureists even more resentful.

They might become even more desperate to create a holy child, thus escalating the conflict.

The best option at this point is to give it a push.

Gotthard met the Holy Son and confirmed his worth.

Becoming a Golden Seed might not be too difficult for the other party, but becoming a Saint is impossible.

Those who have never experienced the ways of the world and suddenly accept its complexities will only be more thoroughly corrupted.

It's almost impossible to restore his original purity from Mount Dorsal Fin.

To put it bluntly, the resources consumed by the Holy Son could easily be used to select and train more outstanding and stable Golden Seeds if those resources were properly allocated.

Personal qualities, awareness, and beliefs may be difficult to find in an individual, but they are not too difficult to find among millions or tens of millions of people.

On the contrary, resources are the most scarce resource, at least when it becomes a gold mine.

The biggest problem in cultivating golden offspring within a family is that even families known for their large numbers typically have only a hundred or so official family members. The base number is completely different, naturally leading to difficulties.

In addition, the nobles are surrounded by all sorts of shady and sinister influences, with great temptations and desires. If their willpower falters, it's normal for their potential to be depleted early on.

Gotthard himself was of noble birth, so he naturally knew the intricacies of the situation.

No longer thinking about the Holy Son, he gradually flew into the sky and then saw his accompanying priest picking on Nemus.

For example, why did Nemes so forcefully sign the investigation order during this operation?

If they were so powerful, why didn't they gather most of the church's fighting force from the beginning? Why didn't they notify the City of Air Spring and request their support?

Nemes just smiled and then offered a casual explanation.

The female pastor holding the book, seeing Nemus's nonchalant attitude, felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Even Nemes's answer gave her the feeling that he was teasing a child.

The more this happened, the angrier she became.

More than half a year ago, Nemus was just a garrisoned paladin in the countryside, but now he has become a great knight in the area, and with his continuous merits, his actual status and position are also rising.

It is a disgrace to someone like her, who is genuinely dedicated to the church, to allow someone unwilling to contribute to church reform to rise higher and higher in rank.

“Alright, Amy,” Gotthard interrupted the priestess’s discontent, then bid farewell to Nemes.

Golden Seedlings are still very busy.

They are actually firefighters most of the time.

The whale's back is so big that many times other people don't even have the right to go around putting out fires.

For example, in a remote little village, a little demon appears, and the paladins and priests stationed there are killed instead.

Should we just leave him alone and let him continue his killing spree in that small village?

Sending someone there by conventional means would take several days, and by the time they arrive, the entire village would probably be dead.

And they might be facing a full-fledged demon.

Therefore, even if it's just a small demon, the Golden Seed will fly over to deal with it when necessary.

So sometimes, a young, naive devil might encounter a golden paladin flying by at lightning speed after committing murder.

Before leaving, Gotthard glanced back at Nemes and then said, "I suggest you only scratch the surface of the numbers of history."

"That thing isn't all good."

After saying this, Gotthard flew away with his men.

Nems nodded, taking Gotthard's words to heart.

Nemes was not surprised that Gotthard had seen through his own encounter with the Number of History.

Advancing to the Gold level is an unprecedented sublimation, and one's perception of all things will become different.

Although Nemus never ascended to the Golden Seed, he was made into a Prayer Angel.

Prayer angels are individuals of the gold level.

It is perfectly normal to discover your own problems in that state of awareness.

Furthermore, this is not something shameful.

Therefore, Gotthard's reminder is very likely correct.

One should not delve too much into historical records, and legendary species are not so easy to cultivate.
