Chapter 3407
Resolving the Doubts in My Heart
...
"Just the rescue alone will take this long." Zhang Ren couldn't help but sigh upon learning how long it would take.
The extent to which gods and Buddhas can harm people is evident from this, but as the user of this power, Zhang Ren's heart is also filled with complex emotions.
Even though they know that the more this power is used, the deeper its impact on these people will be, they still have to use it in order to make these people better, or even to save them.
Because only the words of gods and Buddhas can counter the words of Brahmins, it can be considered a different kind of advanced coverage.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. First, we need to free these people from the control of Brahmanical language. Even if it makes them lean further toward gods and Buddhas, it’s worth it.” Lu Qi clapped his hands lightly and said in a calm tone, “Compared to Brahmins living in the world, gods and Buddhas who don’t descend to the mortal realm are obviously easier to deal with.”
First, gradually eliminate the Brahmanical discourse through the power of the gods, then gradually reduce divine interference, and then slowly inject another ideology into the new generation, eventually normalizing this ideology over several generations.
All of this takes time, time measured in the dimension of life.
By first weakening and stripping the Brahmins of their voice, preventing them from expanding their influence, and reducing the impact of their oral and practical teachings, people born later can be somewhat more normal.
With the long-term effects, each generation becomes more normal than the last, and after three generations, they should have recovered to a near-complete state.
"In the end, it still feels somewhat unreal. He hasn't done anything, yet he possesses such unbelievable power..." Zhang Ren stretched out his hand, looked at the Destiny Ring on his wrist, and frowned slightly.
Unlike the pure gold Destiny Ring at the beginning, the Destiny Ring on Zhang Ren's wrist now has a gold base with distinctly different and complex patterns.
The appearance of these patterns is essentially a manifestation of the power of faith.
What you think about, you will manifest. Especially in the deep pit of the Brahmanical and Buddhist pantheon, a large number of believers can truly create deities.
As a deity walking in the mortal world, it naturally gained a level of faith that surpassed that of other common deities.
After all, other gods do not appear in the world, and now that there are gods who have appeared, ordinary people who have suffered greatly from them naturally know who to believe in.
It was under the faith of a large number of believers that Zhang Ren's power underwent some changes.
“Under normal circumstances, if we choose to create a god, the Brahmanical system will immediately activate corresponding countermeasures, such as using divine trials to limit the authority of the gods, then banish the corresponding gods, and then further strengthen the power of the Brahmanical system.” Lu Qi described how the normal Brahmanical class would deal with this power.
Now that we know this normal way to deal with it, there will naturally be countermeasures.
The chaos, internal struggles, and oppression within the Brahmin community during this period were a manifestation of these countermeasures.
To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability. Even if the Brahmins desperately wanted to target this god, they had to ensure their own survival. If they couldn't even survive themselves, who would care about the raging floods outside?
When even the high and mighty Brahmins are pushed to the brink of life and death, they will naturally stop caring about Zhang Ren's process of becoming a god.
Once the dust settles and the image of the deity becomes deeply ingrained in people's minds, and the Brahmins fail to provide corresponding countermeasures in a short period of time, they will no longer be able to counter it.
As an intermediary for interpreting the words of gods and Buddhas, how could one possibly refute the gods and Buddhas themselves?
If we don't start by leveraging the public's approval and habits to launch a countermeasure, then we'll never have another chance to retaliate.
As a smart and wise person, Lu Qi is capable of handling real-time communication situations with his own talents, so why would he use ordinary methods?
Once they decide to act, even deeply entrenched Brahmins cannot escape unscathed.
“It’s a pity that the Brahmins no longer have such an opportunity, right?” Recalling the believers who told him about the inner workings of the Brahmins, Zhang Ren understood the reason.
The internal struggles, mutual crushing, and even massacres and suppression among the Brahmins mean that it will be difficult for them to concentrate their forces for external expansion in the short term.
Without the time and resources to communicate and explain to the outside world, the difficulty of countering a living deity or Buddha will only increase as time goes on.
"Initially, instigating internal struggles and back-and-forth among the Brahmins was merely to heighten their vigilance and buy them a few months. But even those few months aren't enough to completely strip the Brahmins of their right to interpret the situation within their jurisdiction." Lu Qi pointed into the distance, speaking confidently. "General Guan's army, advancing on Jambhala without any concealment or cover-up, and threatening the Brahmin city of Pataliputra, has also forced the Brahmins, who have recovered from their initial setbacks, to confront the immediate threat and do their utmost to help Rahul. Adding that time, we'll have enough time."
“Rahul is also a Brahmin, and theoretically, he should also take countermeasures against us. He has that kind of intelligence.” Based on his past experience fighting Rahul, Zhang Ren gave him a very high evaluation.
"Is it possible that Rahul, who knows about this, will not only not retaliate against us, but will actually help us?" Lu Qi said with a smile, which surprised Zhang Ren.
"Does the gentleman mean that Rahul needs to suppress the power of others within his ranks?" Following this line of thought, Zhang Ren considered the possibility that Rahul might do such a thing.
“There has never been such an opportunity before. Now that such an opportunity has come, how could a selfish person possibly let it pass by?” Lu Qi calmly described Rahul.
Regardless of what Rahul does, in essence, everything he does is to realize the ideals in his heart.
"I see." Having understood the reason, Zhang Ren's doubts were largely resolved, and he no longer resisted the power of the gods and Buddhas.
Anyway, he can't stay in this place forever, so it can't affect him for too long.
When the war in this place is almost over, he will be able to leave legitimately, returning the corresponding power and freedom to the people, thus achieving a successful retirement.
Thinking about it this way, obtaining this power now doesn't seem to be too bad; at least it can enhance my combat strength.
As for domestic affairs, let's leave that to the relevant professionals. (End of Chapter)
