In the history of the church, the golden age has another name.
The age of persecution.
In ancient times, the church and the true believers were often persecuted, and this period of history was extremely painful and long.
Just like the True believer slave that Venakana and Jane met on the mountain road, believing in the Lord is by no means an easy task in this era.
First, because of myths, the gods created the world, and then created various races and creatures, mainly the latter.
In the myths promoted by the priests of the gods, the latecomer Lord became the Lord of Gods who was superior to the gods. This was undoubtedly displeasing to others, and believers of the gods and priests often avoided talking about the Lord of Faith.
Furthermore, because the true believers claim that they are the sons of the Lord, that the Lord is higher than others, and that their faith is also higher than him, they are resented and envied by others.
Stoned to death, burned to death, eagle to death...the leaders of the true believers in this era are always on the road to martyrdom.
The followers of the gods laughed at them:
Will God's people also be persecuted?
The fact that true believers have to face is that even God's people will be persecuted.
The last big reason is that the true believers started from poverty and humble beginnings.
Throughout the long history of this golden age and the age of persecution, poor priests have always claimed:
God loves the world, so no one is unworthy of love.
People should not be distinguished. In the Lord’s heaven, there are no kings and slaves, and there is no throne. There is no distinction between one and the other. Everyone is God’s people.
Those fanatical leaders of the true believers even shouted before they died:
Wait for my God to reward you! The blood of the powerful will be shed because sin is in your hands!
Rationally speaking, there is an essential doctrinal conflict between belief in the gods and belief in the Lord.
When future priests examine this period of history with rationality, they all know that since ancient times the monks have called for all those who love others, regardless of high or low, to be the people of the Lord. The believers in the gods are destined to destroy this faith. Fire must not be seen, and the crackling fire must be covered up so that no one can hear it.
The two paths of worshiping the gods, which talks about earthly faith, and the Poverty Religion, which talks about righteous love, have always gone in opposite directions.
And here, Venakana is in the Kingdom of Morland, where everything is stuck in the golden age.
Jane scrubbed the slaves' faces, making the overseer acutely aware of their beliefs.
The overseer looked at them and spat on the ground, his eyes filled with taboo.

The two were walking on the mountain climbing road.
As time goes by, the dome tower rising from the Great Temple has become faintly visible.
After walking two or three times on the mountain road, the magnificent temple appeared in front of them.
Each city-state has its own guard, and many city-states have an acropolis first and then a city. When the two saw the great temple, they realized that future generations would use this as their center and foundation to build a magnificent city-state.
The construction of this temple started a hundred years ago and was completed sixty years ago, lasting thirty years. The oval main body of the temple is built of the world's finest Dali, the so-called "Dwarf At Marble". There are tall domed towers on both sides of the temple. There are eight pillars on the front and back, and seventeen pillars on both sides. The pillars are as white as white and are said to be polished from the remains of evil dragons in the past. There are two more rows in the inner formation, each with six poles.

Through the open temple, it can be seen that in the center is the god Morlan, the human god, Morlan, the dragon-slaying walker of the gods. Over hundreds of years, he was given the gift of the gods, passed the twelve tests, and was killed because of his death. Kill the evil dragon Dosumirak and become a god.
The statue is made of gold and dragon teeth, holding a long sword in both hands and stepping on a broken dragon, with a majestic face.
There were already people waiting in the great temple.
Except for the priests and servants of the Great Temple who were similarly dressed, a total of three groups of people gathered in the Great Temple. At this moment, the bright sun cast down from the hollow dome cast a layer of brilliance on the statue of Morland.
Those three groups of people were the first to respond to the request for help from the auxiliary priest of the Great Temple.
The figures of the princess and Jane appeared at the door of the great temple, and a priest from the great temple came to greet them.
He looked at their clothes for a moment (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 328 God’s people will also be persecuted
I couldn't tell which deity the letter was from, so I exchanged simple greetings and asked:
"Which god are you two priests of?"
"The Lord above."
Venakana has no qualms about avoiding anything. There is nothing in this world that she should avoid.
The priest's eyes trembled, and a hint of taboo and hostility flashed in his eyes.
He did it quickly, invited them in, and then hurriedly took a few steps away.
True believers were mostly born into poverty, and vulgarity and filth were often tabooed by the priestly class because they pursued purity in serving the gods.
"Has Lal not finished his fast yet?"
In the Great Temple, the priest who believed in the Plague God Sterad asked.
According to mythology, the first divine blood that Morland inherited came from the plague god Stura, so believers from both sides have always been very close. Even when Morland ordered to smash the statues of other gods, the two sides still maintained contact.
Venakana and Jane were standing in a corner of the great temple, neither close nor close to where the three groups of people gathered.
At this moment, the priest of the god of prophecy glanced at the two of them.
The priest heard what Priest Morland said, and his keen premonition caught something, and then he saw the icon on the nun's chest.
"Are you... true believers?"
The priest of the god of prophecy asked, his tone not very kind.
The Lord in the mouth of true believers is also called the Lord of Destiny.
For a priest of the god of prophecy, such a title is not harsh.
What's more, true believers declare that the God of prophecy is only making predictions about the Lord, and all fate and God of prophecy are determined by the Lord.
Yes, there is an essential doctrinal conflict between true believers and believers in the God of Prophecy.
"Yes."
Vina Kana said flatly.
"You claim to be God's people?"
The priest of the God of Prophecy asked again, his tone only maintaining a polite face.
"Everyone is."
"I am a sacrifice to the God of Prophecy. Even people like me who serve the gods dare not call themselves God's people."
The priest of the God of Prophecy spoke coldly.
His message was clear...
But most of God’s people are slaves in chains?
Today's followers of the gods are superior to the true believers, which gives the priest the confidence to sarcastically.
The priest would not know that in the distant future, the gods would travel far across the world, and those who believed in the gods would be in danger.

"You have your own shackles, you just don't know it."
Venakana was at ease.
The priest boy Kong Wei felt that this was ridiculous. Priests were pure people serving gods, so how could they bear shackles?
"Argument, why am I in chains? This is just the nonsense of your preaching."
The priest spread his arms and asked pressingly.
It seems that refuting Vinaka now is equivalent to refuting the God of prophecy, the Lord whom the true believers believe in.
Venakana's eyes overflowed with golden light.
She stared at the sacrifice and slowly spoke:
"What is a yoke? It is a drive, just like a king drives his ministers, and a master drives his slaves. Is that so?"
The priest of the god of prophecy was confident that he would not be easily defended by Venakana, so he agreed first:
"Is such that."
"Then your chains are to your gods."
"what are you saying?!"
“Your god is the one of prophecy, whom you worship, you worship, you make gods for her, you are driven by faith,
Those rituals, those rules, and those gods are naturally your shackles. "
“Our worship comes from our own heart!”
Faith was risked, the priest of the god of prophecy said sullenly.
"Is this the true intention of everyone? Have there never been heretics among the believers of the God of Prophecy? Has anyone ever claimed to have mastered the true God of Prophecy, and was he executed by you?"
Venakana asked.
The priest was suddenly hit by this wave of questioning, and for a moment he was looking for the flaw in the words, but he couldn't find a way to start (this chapter is not finished yet!)

.
He didn't know that Wang, who had studied the Wang family's rhetoric, used the debate methods summarized by later generations.
Cross-examine the opponent with unfavorable facts, causing the opponent to fall into a dilemma of rebuttal.
For a good debater, the only solution is to take the initiative to get out of this dilemma.
Obviously, it is difficult for people in this era to know this.
"Each of you has different intentions. You all have your own truth. Those rituals and rules are naturally the shackles given to you by faith."
The princess's cold words fell to the ground, and the other two groups of priests looked at them. They were shocked by these words, and the person involved, the sacrifice of the god of prophecy, was caught by these words.
After a while, the red-faced priest of the God of Prophecy raised his shameful anger and asked:
"Speaking of this, don't you true believers have no shackles? Do you all have the same understanding of the so-called Lord?"
Venakana looked at this and she felt funny.
During his own cross-examination, he lost his mind, showed his weakness, and made the simplest mistake in the debate.
so...
"I have never denied that true believers are in chains."
"I'm just here, you're just in shackles."
“Our yoke is revealed, but your yoke you think never existed.”
The priest of the god of prophecy was speechless, and only then did he belatedly see his own fallacy.
However, the debate has ended, and there is no possibility of saving the collapsed building.
Venakana glanced at the other priests of the gods, who inadvertently listened to a sudden debate and each had their own thoughts.

The princess saw clearly that they had not changed their minds because of this debate.
Because his words are on the opposite side of them.
As those priests who studied history concluded:
The two paths of worshiping the gods, which talks about earthly faith, and the Poverty Religion, which talks about righteous love, have always gone in opposite directions.
The priest of the God of Prophecy almost ran away and walked to the other priests and blended into them. This behavior was like a sheep costume.
This brief debate was but a sideshow in the Great Temple.
The Morland priest first walked into the depths of the great temple, and walked out within less than a quarter of an hour. His expression was relatively calm.
"Priest Lal will take some time."
The priest of Morland apologized to everyone waiting there.
"Even we who believe in the god of prophecy cannot predict... Is the frost dragon Sodora better than Dosumilak?"
The priest of the god of prophecy asked.
"Yes, Priest Lal explained everything in his letter."
The priest paused and continued:
"The Chosen Ones... We need the Chosen Ones from the earthly god Morlan, so we ask for your help."
“Do you think God’s chosen ones on earth are among us?”
The wind god priest standing on the left asked,
"If you can't get predictions, how can you get news about God's Chosen One?"
"Yes, that's why Priest Lal asked for help... Priest Kama who made a prophecy said: Maybe it's someone who suddenly appeared in the world."
Referring to the Kama priest who went crazy because of the prophecy, the Morland priest spoke very carefully.
"...If you talk about people who suddenly appear in the world..."
The Wind God priest pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"Among the followers of Graman, the cold wind god... there is an astonishingly young priest."
The priest of Morland suddenly cheered up.
"Who...which priest?"
"It is said that it is a man named Qim. He is on his way here."
However, the priest of the God of Wind truthfully told what he knew.
Venakana, who was listening silently in a corner of the temple, expressed surprise.
It is surprising that Qim, who was the first to arrive here, is now a world-famous Qim.
"Where is Priest Kama now?"
The priest of the God of Prophecy asked again:
“Understanding what God has given (this chapter is not yet finished!)
Chapter 328 God’s people will also be persecuted
Prophecy is our place of faith. Since Priest Lal wrote in the letter and Priest Kama will tell various prophecies after going crazy, then... maybe we can explain that prophecy. "
The priest of Morland was stunned when he heard this, but he could not make a decision alone, because the madness of an auxiliary priest was a taboo in the great temple.
The priest of the god of prophecy continued to advise:
"To deal with the frost giant, you must understand the hidden secrets behind it. Otherwise, you will find nothing if you look for Jane on the land. And...the earthly god Morland...she hasn't issued a decree for a long time...I won't say more, You know your God better than we do.”
"Okay, I'll go ask Priest Lal for instructions."
The priest of Morland thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
Then the priest walked into the depths of the great temple again.
After everyone waited patiently for two seconds, the priest of Morland finally walked out from the depths of the great temple.
"Priest Lal agreed to let me take you over to see him."
The priest of Morland said this, his tone was particularly serious.
He looked around at the people present, and paused for a moment when he came to the princess and Jane, and then conveyed the instructions of Priest Lal:
"Priest Lal said: No matter what he says, such as: 'Truth,' 'We are all false,' 'Gods are already... no matter how horrifying those words are, you will regard them as the folly of arrogant people. Because that’s all crazy talk.”
