Wang Jinjue once thought about why among the four of them, only he became the god of hot pot.
In the world of Toril, to become a god, you need followers, a priesthood, and "divine fire (godhead)".
The priesthood was created through magic modification by the three of them. The number of believers also started after it opened. Only Wang Jinjue has the "divine fire".
It was a Shinto magic weapon, the "Mirror of Mirrors of All Realms," with a trace of divine fire that was about to go out. The price reached 8,000 points.
What is this thing for?
It’s just that after being blessed by a god, you can look through the mirror to see what the god you invited looks like, where he comes from, and what his name is.
By coincidence, Wang Jinjue became the god of hot pot.
Only when you become a "god" can you understand "God's Beating", and you will have a deeper understanding of "Du Tian Qing Mysterious Record".
Only this world is suitable for Wang Jinjue. From this perspective, the Lord God Space really took the money and got things done.
In his mind, there was a shining place, which was the Kingdom of God that had not yet been formed.
There is nothing in the Kingdom of God, only darkness. And his image is that of a man glowing with light. Around him, his believers gather into a sea of stars.
Particularly bright was his connection with his pastor.
Next are the bright "devotees", the "fanatic believers" glowing with black and blue light, and finally the slightly bright ones are the "extreme believers".
As for "true believers," Wang Jinjue doesn't have any.
The so-called "pan-believers" only have a superficial belief in gods, but do not intend to act and live in strict accordance with the creeds and teachings of gods. He said he believed it, but only he knew in his heart whether he believed it or not.
In fact most believers are at this stage, after all, there is no faith to hang on the wall.
"Pious believers" feel that the teachings of the gods are close to them, and they feel that the lifestyle advocated by the gods and the church makes them feel at ease and comfortable, so they believe in them. Rather than believing in gods, it is more about safeguarding your favorite lifestyle and inner feelings.
In the world of Toril, the teachings of many gods are more like values and codes of conduct. For example, the teachings of Tymora, the goddess of luck:
【People should act boldly to truly live. In most cases, the courage and determination to take risks are far more important than careful and precise planning. Never hesitate, trust the goddess and leave yourself to your destiny. Believe in the luck you have, you are your own master, and the goddess will let you know whether this time is good luck or bad luck. As long as you move forward bravely and strive to pursue your dreams, the goddess will help you. 】
To sum it up in one sentence, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by heaven!
If you are also this kind of adventurous opportunist, you will undoubtedly find Tymora's teachings to be very suitable for you. Even if you don't believe in Tymora, there is a high chance that Tymora will personally connect you to your own kingdom after your death.
Therefore, many Chinese people from the twenty-first world came to Faerûn, even if they were atheists, but because of their handsomeness, extraordinary intelligence, unparalleled loyalty, bravery, eagles and wolves, etc., they were competed by a bunch of gods. Be a voter.
Because you are so in line with the requirements of their teachings, even if you don't disdain these things.
There are no real unbelievers, unless they are fools or vegetative people, and there are real weirdos.
When people are alive, they always have some faith! For those who have no faith, even if their hearts are filled with despair, there are still cults and evil gods whose teachings are in line with you!
But "fanatic believers" are not the same. They ignore all good things for the sake of their faith. They can use the most brutal and despicable methods for their faith, and they still feel clear conscience when they do any dirty things. The essence is that one is extremely dissatisfied with reality and wants to use gods to change reality and realize one's own ideas. The higher the degree of dissatisfaction with reality, the higher the degree of fanaticism.
Among Wang Jinjue's followers, there is actually a fanatical believer. He believes that the "Hot Pot God" is the best god in the world, and everyone should believe in the "Hot Pot God". Anyway, those who say bad things about the "Hot Pot God" , should all be beaten to death.
Although Wang Jinjue told him repeatedly that he didn't care what others thought.
But a fanatic believer lives in his own world and makes good promises, but only he knows what he is thinking in his heart.
These three types of believers think about the following when they join the religion:
The teachings of this religious religion are what I like, joining this religious religion is of great help to me, God can be relied on, etc. These are all things I want and gain. Regarding the teachings, they only know this, agree with it, but don’t know why it is so, or they know a little bit, but not deeply.
Those who are different from them are the "Orthodox Christians".
When Orthodox Christians study the scriptures and practice the lifestyle guided by the teachings, they will have this thought: Why does God preach such teachings? Where did the idea of gods come from?
When Orthodox Christians act in accordance with scriptures and teachings, they observe the changes and connections of everything externally, and investigate the changes and choices in their hearts internally. They finally seize a chance to understand why the gods do what they do, and they have some understanding of the goals pointed by the gods. A person who has gained some consciousness and understands why this is the case is called a true believer.
See the essence through phenomena. They need the gods. What they need is not the power of the gods, but the guidance of the gods!
They have dreams, but they are confused and helpless in the world, and cannot find their own direction of action; they have ideas, but they are severely hit by the disputes in the world, and their hearts are wavering, not knowing whether to persist or give up, so they turn to gods for help .
However, true believers do not want the gods to give them strength, but they want the gods to give them spiritual guidance so that they can still uphold their beliefs and never give up under any difficult conditions.
Regarding the matter of adhering to one's beliefs under any difficult conditions, true believers and fanatics may seem the same, but in fact they are completely different in nature.
The most important basis for the firmness of fanatics is their dissatisfaction or strong desire for external reality, which is rooted in certain external things; while the most important basis for the firmness of true believers is their understanding and choice of self. , is rooted in one’s heart!
To put it simply, true believers are more subversive than fanatic believers!
Just like Dian Lao also has a distinction. Some Dianlao (fanatic believers) are beaten by life, can't stand the stimulation, give up on themselves, and degenerate.
And some Dianlao (true believers) are continuously hit by life, but they do not give in, even if their favorite wife dies, their favorite son dies, even if their comrades betray them! But he clearly recognized the problem and still wanted to continue fighting!
It is precisely "Thirty-eight years have passed, and in the blink of an eye, I can reach the moon in the sky, catch turtles in the five oceans, and return with laughter and triumph. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb!"
When I wrote the last sentence, I suddenly remembered another sentence: "Suddenly it is reported that there has been a tiger in the world, and tears fly down like a downpour." Tears~
