Arcane Lord

In the mind link, Shado completely substitutes himself into Atwood's perspective, which to a certain extent eliminates the information alienation process from Atwood to the mind link, and then from the mind link to him, and directly obtains first-hand information. .

Xia Duo has conducted experiments on shared perception like the present one several times before, and has long been familiar with such a strange yet familiar feeling.

However, this is the first time Atwood has shared a sense after sensing the new natural holy power. Although Atwood now does not have holy power, the "natural will" is still replying to him, but it does not restore the holy power. That’s all.

In this regard, Xia Duo is still more cautious.

For now, holy power is related to God, but he has personally participated in the New Nature Theory from its birth to its development. He does not believe that there are any divine factors in it.

It can only be attributed to the fact that his and Atwood's actions created a conceptual entity of "nature" described in the new natural concept.

After all, there has already been a real power like Holy Power, and besides, it is illusory, virtual, and somewhat unrealistic.

As for why the holy power is insufficient, and even now the holy power has completely disappeared, Sha Duo speculates that it may be that this conceptual entity is not mature enough to continuously and stably provide holy power to believers.

However, this is just a guess on his part. It may also be affected by the land granting ceremony of the territory. The power will not come out of thin air. There must be some reason behind it.

It is no secret to Sha Duo that faith can be transformed into holy power. The book on the Ascension Ceremony clearly mentions that the greatest function of divine fire is to transform holy power.

Of course, holy power must come from more than just divine fire. Otherwise, where would Atwood's new natural holy power come from?

But the mechanism of the transformation of holy power should be similar to that of divine fire, both of which are transformed by faith.

So now, when all the people in the Great Xia Territory are focused on development and production, how many beliefs will provide this special holy power transformation mechanism for "natural" conceptual entities?

Both reasons are possible, but if Sha Duo had to choose, he would prefer the latter.

If it is the former, it means that "nature" has multiple stages. It may be an imperfect stage now, but it may be perfected, perfected, or even personified in the future.

This is not impossible. A new idea that I personally participated in the creation suddenly gave birth to holy power, which is similar to the birth of a god. It is really difficult not to make people think of it.

The latter is more akin to the discovery of some new type of Holy Power conversion mechanism. It is similar to a machine. You can put in as much material (Faith) as you want to produce (Holy Power). The relationship is relatively pure.

For example, the "holy light" in a game that Sha Duo played before traveling through time travel is a kind of thought and a belief. As long as you comply with this thought and belief, you can obtain the power of the holy light.

This kind of power has nothing to do with the actual good or evil of the behavior, but is related to the user's true inner thoughts, so there are practices such as the undead using the Holy Light and using the Holy Light to massacre.

This is a more stable way to obtain power (holy power conversion mechanism) that is more in line with Sha Duo's psychological expectations.

If the source is God, a transcendent existence with self-awareness, although Sha Duo has more trust in gods like the Lord of Glory, it has become an unstoppable trend for mortals to ascend to gods.

In the future, the Lord of Glory may not be affected and do some unpredictable things.

In other words, Xia Duo trusts relatively stable rules and mechanisms more than "people" or "gods" that may change at any time.

…

As Atwood's perception deepened, Shado also gradually put away the thoughts that were gradually spreading in his heart. His thoughts were almost empty, and he welcomed the natural response in a relatively pure state, eliminating the interference of human factors to the maximum extent.

Soon, Shado followed Atwood's perception and came into contact with a majestic, broad, and almost all-embracing strange existence.

The reason why it is called "existence" is that it feels so real to people, just like the sky you can see when you look up, the earth you step on, and everything you can touch with your hands.

With just a moment of intuitive perception, Sha Duo's mind seemed to be greatly impacted, and he instantly exited Atwood's first-person perspective.

At the same time, more information came from Atwood in the spiritual link, but Sha Duo could no longer care about analyzing these things at the moment.

At this moment, his mind was completely occupied by the massive amount of information that suddenly poured into his mind.

Unlike the previous times when he shared his perception, Xia Duo was able to completely buffer this part of the information and even temporarily suppress it to maintain continuous contact with the so-called "natural will".

But now, in just such a moment, the information pouring in was already countless times the information he had obtained during the previous times of sharing his perception.

At this moment, he was extremely envious of Atwood. He envied him for not being able to analyze various subconscious messages for the time being. He seemed to have not received the impact of these massive messages at all.

If Xia Duo completely integrated his subconscious and superficial consciousness, then these impacts would not matter, and his powerful consciousness could naturally handle them calmly.

What I fear the most is the current situation of being unable to reach a high level, unable to reach a low level, and unable to move up or down.

A large amount of information is pouring in, and it can neither be completely processed (completely integrating the subconscious and subconscious minds) nor completely shielded (completely unable to control the subconscious mind). The result of partial processing is a large amount of accumulation, leading to a pause in thinking.

However, in just this moment, Shado also gained an almost "full vision" effect and had a new understanding of the so-called "natural will", of course, it was only the state of natural will at that moment.

After the mental connection was interrupted, Atwood continued to perceive, and Shado did not stop him, but unfolded the arcane fire next to him, and then cast a spell to perceive the circulation state of the power of order.

Now Shado has completely mastered the [Land Granting System·Order Power] and has formed an automatic circulation of this order power.

And other order powers, like [Land Granting System·Order Power], are actually components of the "Shado Order System".

In the two days after the land granting ceremony, Shado was busy with experiments in the demiplane and had limited energy, so he did not cast a spell to promote the circulation of the order power.

But now, driven by [Land Granting System·Order Power], those order powers that can complete the order cycle have gradually become active.

However, this time Shado is not trying to promote the order power to build an order cycle, but to find the order power of the special order of [New Natural Concept·Doctrine].

The new natural concept that Xiaduo spread in the territory is called thought, but for ordinary people, it is difficult to understand the thought, and only the doctrine is easier to accept.

Of course, [New Natural Concept·Doctrine] is different from the general doctrine of the gods. There are no words like "God said" or "God did" and its expression is more similar to "moral norms of the people".

The new natural concept is actually derived from the "Taoist" thought of Xiaduo's hometown. This thought has nothing to do with good and evil and is not conducive to governance.

Therefore, thoughts and concepts are one thing, and the actual doctrines and mottos are another thing.

It's similar to the difference between Taoism and Taoism!
