"Don't scare me... are you planning to destroy the world? The entire Pande Continent... including Amara Continent, most people know my name, how are you going to erase my existence?"
Li Ang doesn't believe it at all.
"Child, based on your experience, you should understand that no matter whose soul is under this name, it is the same to most people. People know the name Leon, not you..."
Eunomia's voice is still elegant, but cold.
"So, are you planning to replace me with another soul controlled by you, just like Kavala?"
Li Ang sneered, "How are your current thoughts and actions different from Kavala? How are they different from those gods who almost destroyed the world?"
Eunomia was silent again.
After a long time, her voice came again. "Maybe this is fate... This is my destiny, and your destiny should be controlled by me. You should understand..."
Destiny?
According to Eunomia's logic, his fate should be controlled by her?
Sure enough, all the guys who can become gods are full of gangster logic.
Li Ang laughed in anger.
"Destiny, right? Then I do understand. But, Eunomia, I think you really don't understand - you don't understand what the world needs at all, you don't understand what fate is, and you don't even understand what you should do."
Li Ang said with a sarcastic smile, "You don't want gods to exist in this world anymore. I agree with this. Therefore, you yourself should not continue to exist - that is your destiny."
"... It seems you are about to become another Kavala..."
Eunomia may indeed be a little paranoid. She may think that everything she believes is correct...
"Eunomia, have you ever thought about why Kavala escaped from your control? Have you ever thought that if you hadn't forced Kavala so much, Kavala would never have become what it is today!"
Li Ang said categorically, "You so-called gods have never understood the principles Creator God taught you... You, like other bullshit, are not worthy of becoming gods at all. You all have no idea what gods should do!"
"... So, you know?"
Eunomia asked rhetorically.
"I know... In fact, many people know it, but those who know it will not become false gods like you... Come with your so-called destiny! I will enjoy every dish that destiny brings to me - you will soon see what God should do!"
Li Ang pulled out Griffin Sword and touched the silver statue to the edge of the sword.
The statue was neatly cut in half.
The last person who discussed fate with Li Ang was Emperor Marius.
In the eyes of Li Ang, Emperor Marius is a person who truly understands what destiny is - everything you have experienced in this life, including the efforts you have made to 'change your destiny', as well as those that have been successfully changed and those that cannot be changed, are actually all destiny...
I want power because I am humble, I want immortality because I am short-lived, I want more power because I am weak... The so-called "controlling destiny and pursuing eternity" is actually just dissatisfaction with desire!
Isn't that what those so-called gods are like?
But Emperor Marius can happily accept all fates - accept his own life, accept his death, and accept all the consequences of his best efforts.
A truly powerful person would not even bother to become a god.
Because they can create enough brilliant value in their short lives, they know how to make more people live better, and they will try their best to do something useful for this world.
But these gods never knew this.
Moreover... birth and death are the laws of the operation of all things, and this is also the most basic order of the entire world.
The so-called Goddess of Order--Does she really understand what order is?
She is just dissatisfied with her desires... Although her desires seem a little more noble than those of most gods, there is no essential difference.
Li Ang Now I feel relieved.
So what about Eunomia? Isn't it just a false god? Isn't it just an enhanced version of Kavala? What's so scary about it?
Compared with those ancient legends in his original world, the so-called gods in this world are actually not qualified to be called gods at all.
In the legends Li Ang knows, God is formulating rules to educate all peoples, inventing words to pass on knowledge, tasting herbs to save lives and healing the wounded, repairing the sky and treating floods to save the common people...
Those are the true gods.
They are all trying their best to make the world a better place, rather than creating conflicts in the world.
They have never said that they are gods, nor have they created any sects to brainwash them - they all accomplished these great deeds as humans, and then were remembered by future generations and respected as their main gods.
Moreover, when that world started to function well, those real gods were gone - perhaps, they went to create another brand new world.
Of course, after those true gods left, some false gods also gradually appeared in that world. Under the guise of guiding people's future and destiny, they sucked the blood of believers and fought endlessly with each other for their beliefs and desires.
And the world of Pendor is full of such false gods.
Li Ang thinks that he cannot achieve great deeds like those real gods, but he believes that he can do better than fake gods like Pande Continent.
Therefore, from now on, Eunomia is the enemy.
When a 'god' believed by most people starts to turn against you, how should you deal with it?
Probably the best way is to make yourself a 'god'...
In fact, Kavala also does this, but Li Ang feels that Kavala's operation method is really weak - since we want to create a new belief, we must create one that can be easily accepted by everyone in the world!
Make a Snake Worship Cult, promote the eschatological theory, and pursue blessings in the next life...
This method is of course useful, but the results are too slow!
And it's so terrifying, it's not in line with most people's mentality...
What kind of beliefs would most people accept?
Of course it is the kind that is most consistent with basic human nature...
Those teachings that pursue blessings in the next life are too slow to take effect, and generally only middle-aged and elderly people will consider them;
Most people simply cannot do those teachings that pursue precious qualities such as justice or courage, so there must not be many who truly believe from their hearts;
And most people are not willing to accept those teachings that pursue the dark side...
For normal people, escaping pain and pursuing happiness are the most basic needs, and these two needs basically cannot avoid the same medium...
--Wealth.
What god was the most popular in the world of Li Ang?
Without a doubt, the God of Wealth.
No matter which nationality, no matter young or old, from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns, who doesn't like the God of Wealth?
However, most people in that world would not really believe it - because in that world, the legend about the God of Wealth went the wrong way from the beginning, so that the God of Wealth was also a false god.
If the true gods in the legends do exist, then we can think that they are worshiped by people for the great deeds they have done, and people are spreading their legends.
The false gods are all created by people. They are people's yearning for a better life, and they are artificially created some legends.
In people's minds, the God of Wealth is always giving away money everywhere for people to pick up. This is the case in various legends. The God of Wealth always holds a cornucopia and throws gold everywhere, but no lucky person has ever really met him.
In the minds of most people, throwing away money seems to be incapable of creating wealth, and will most likely only lead to a loss of wealth... and the vast majority of people have never encountered such a thing as picking up money for nothing.
Therefore, people have had conflicts in their initial consciousness, believing that the God of Wealth cannot truly make people gain wealth. Naturally, it is difficult for most people to truly believe in the God of Wealth.
In fact, this illogical legend about throwing money is just people's imagination.
In other words, like many gods, the original 'doctrine' of the God of Wealth was distorted by the greed and laziness of human nature, and then he became a 'philanthropist' who spread money everywhere.
Including "Good Fortune Boy" of some sects, this is also based on rumors - his original name is Shancai, and his process of visiting famous teachers to study is also described in the scriptures. It is to express that people are dedicated to seeking the truth and regard money as dirt. It is originally to make people not pay too much attention to money, and it has nothing to do with things like giving away money and throwing money everywhere...
In fact, in some of the oldest records, the God of Wealth is divided into 'positive wealth' and 'partial wealth'. Positive wealth refers to the wealth created by hard work and labor, while partial wealth refers to the wealth obtained from the flow of materials with a flexible mind - not through crooked ways such as gambling, but through transactions and flows.
This is the original intention of the God of Wealth, which is to allow people to generate wealth through labor, creation, trading, flow or unique consciousness and ability according to their own circumstances.
This is positive guidance for people. This guidance can be summarized as - money picked up or earned through evil means is not wealth, but money earned by one's own skills. There are many ways to make money, and people should make reasonable use of their own strengths. There are many types of positive wealth and partial wealth, and there is always one that suits you.
--This is the 'teaching' that the God of Wealth should have.
In fact, those who understand this teaching, or those who truly believe in the God of Wealth, can indeed gain wealth.
Because they know how to make money in the way they are good at.
And more and more living beings have worshiped the God of Wealth all their lives, but they just long for gold to fall from the sky. This is not the original intention of the God of Wealth at all, and of course they can only be disappointed - they have never truly believed in the God of Wealth, they are just greedy and lazy.
Li Ang Now, I plan to build myself into a real 'god of wealth'.
Those who truly believe in me will surely make a fortune.
In Pande Bank's warehouse, looking at the piles of gold and silver in the warehouse, Li Ang thought.
Perhaps human belief is a powerful energy. The moment Li Ang decided to turn himself into a god, he had a feeling - he felt that things like Eunomia or Kavala should be unable to do anything to him.
This feeling is so strong and obvious, almost like reality.
Perhaps another feeling can be used as an analogy - this is like the feeling that every healthy adult can be sure that he will not be beaten to death by a kindergarten child.
This feeling is probably not 100% reliable. After all, there is no guarantee that a little superman will not appear in any kindergarten, but at least it is certainly much lower than the probability of falling to death while walking...
Li Ang believed in his feelings, but to be on the safe side, he waited until Wendy returned to White Deer Fortress before leaving the underground warehouse.
Well, actually it was not Li Ang who was 'on the safe side', but the stubborn guy Risadiran - Li Ang asked him to open the door, but he didn't, insisting on following Li Ang's original instructions and waiting for Wendy to come back...
After all, Risadiran has seen Aigrem and Three Prophets, and also knows the existence of Kavala. He is not very confident about the safety of Li Ang.
By the time Wendy returned to White Deer Fortress, it was already early November.
Wendy walked very slowly. She came from Lion City with Amy, and she also escorted a lot of precious metals.
Because Amy plans to send all the gold, silver and copper that the three countries can gather to the Pande Bank headquarters, and she wants to mint a large amount of coins.
In fact, I have been thinking about issuing New Currency for a long time, but I have never had time to implement it.
This matter has been planned since the time when Li Ang asked Lesley to spend a large amount of gold coins and then keep all the silver coins in exchange.
Because New Currency is going to be made of silver and copper, as for gold...
When he saw Amy, Li Ang understood why he had that strange feeling - Amy has already put a small batch of New Currency into trial operation this month, and currently they are letting merchants and freight personnel exchange old ones for new ones. These people trust Li Ang and Amy and basically don't resist it.
The new 'Ten Dinar' magic silver coin was formed by hydraulic stamping and then enchanted by Noldo Elves. The overall production is quite exquisite, much more beautiful than the original magic silver coin 'Silver Deer'.
The avatars of Li Ang and Alina are also lifelike.
Most of the businessmen do not know Alina, but they all know that the man on the front of the silver coin is Li Ang...
Before Li Ang's face was engraved on coins, he already represented wealth in Long River City.
And now, this is the real deal representing wealth...
The ten-dinar silver coin now has a very appropriate nickname - the King.
When Long River City merchants conduct large-scale transactions, they already use methods such as "Ten Kings and One Cart" to raise prices... although it sounds a little scary.
Of course Li Ang can realize that before he even starts promoting, many people are already worshiping him as the God of Wealth - especially those businessmen, who are the first batch of supporters of Li Ang.
A new god has actually appeared.
I just don't know if the three Queen and Alice whose faces are also engraved on the coins will also...
But it doesn't matter, it will ensure their safety.
Charles has also been released. Li Ang changed the story about his hookup with Gatu people - Li Ang told everyone that it was his own order to let Charles trade with Gatu people, and Charles was just following orders.
This is to prevent Charles from being regarded as a collaborator.
Anyway, Gatu people did not cause any losses this time, and everyone knows Li Ang fairly well and knows that the business he did with Gatu people was very cost-effective.
In fact, this is indeed a fact - Eunomia did ask 'Leon' to give the order to Charles...
In addition, Li Ang gave Charles a new task.
Charles will become the builder and guardian of New Kingdom of Pendor'Fortress of Wealth'--today's Charles is the most assured person of Li Ang.
'Fortress of Wealth', this is the new name of Li Ang... it's just a name, the castle hasn't been built yet.
The location of this castle is the original Seven Forks Fortress ruins.
That was also the place where Li Ang first made a fortune with his caravan, so it couldn't be more suitable.
Today's Queen Bacchus Empire is Alina. It is definitely impossible to fall out with New Kingdom of Pendor for a while. Seven Forks Fortress no longer needs to be rebuilt into a military fortress.
But it is necessary to build it into a commercial circulation center - this is the most central center of the entire continent.
