Chapter 392
Javier rushed here hurriedly . As soon as he saw Sui Xiong, he yelled angrily, “You are so crazy! Are you going to be an enemy of all the gods? Are you tired of living, so you want to die?”
“It’s not as serious as you said,” Sui Xiong said calmly, without a feeling of tension . “Why do you think that I am going to be an enemy of all the gods?”
“Your project is denying the rule of royalty and aristocracy, but royalty and theocracy are always integrated . If you deny royalty, then it will be equal to denying theocracy!”
Sui Xiong said, smiling, “Bro, you are much older than me, but as for experience, you are really not as good as me . How do you feel that royalty and theocracy are integrated? Which one is relying on which?”
Javier was stunned . He thought for a while, and then his nervous expression gradually calmed down .
“It seems that you also understand that . In this world, the real ruler of society is a theocracy . Royalty is just relying on this “big tree,” theocracy . It is just a small addition to theocracy . ” Crick had thought about those problems in the past, and Sui Xiong had carefully pondered them as well . At this moment, he naturally gave Javier the answers without thinking about it . “The reason why theocracy needs an addition is because the number of priests is limited . None of the gods have enough priests under their Majesties . Moreover, the main tasks of priests are cultivation, prayer, and preaching, so they don’t have much time and energy to deal with governmental affairs . Therefore, they need another set of national systems to deal with these political affairs .
“To be honest, royalty and aristocracy just have that tiny value . ”
Javier nodded . He said thoughtfully, “So, although you directly abolished royalty and canceled aristocracy, as long as you don’t change the foundation of theocracy controlling the country, then there is no fundamental change in the situation for the gods . ”
“Correct! For the people, the days will be much better without the exploitation and oppression of the upper class . However, for the gods, countries are the same countries and people are the same people,” Sui Xiong said . “Not only that, because there’s no royalty to hinder, the contact between the people and the gods will be closer, so theocracy may be strengthened . ”
Javier thought for a long time, and he asked, frowning, “There are still many theocratic countries in the world, and theocracy and royalty are integrated there . How do you explain that?”
“Which country are you referring to? Specific examples need to be analyzed closely . ”
“For example, the Kingdom of Holy Angels . Although that country perished, it had existed for almost 3,000 years . ”
Sui Xiong said, smiling, “In the Kingdom of Holy Angels, theocracy and royalty were integrated . However, in essence, it was an outdated blood-based country . In fact, most of the stable theocratic countries are blood-based countries . The rulers of those countries have bloodlines from the gods they believe in . Although those bloodlines may not bring them any special power, they are easily identified, and that makes them natural aristocrats . So, they build the system of domination based on that . In such an environment, a more devout faith means that they own a purer bloodline and higher sacredness so that their theocracy is consolidated . In fact, this kind of political system is very poor and not stable at all . For example, after the Sun God was killed, the Kingdom of Holy Angels was immediately destroyed, and the people in the kingdom couldn’t resist at all . ”

“In theocratic countries, when the gods have fallen, the countries will certainly become weak all at once . What’s wrong with that?” Javier asked .
Sui Xiong answered, shaking his head . “I will give you an example—the Kingdom of Eagle . In this country, people inherit the bloodline of the God of Eagle . However, from the very beginning, theocracy and royalty were already separated . Priests didn’t take secular positions to maintain the purity of faith . Later, when the God of Eagle fell, it greatly affected the strength of the country, but it didn’t make the country perish . On the contrary, in the year when the God of Eagle fell, the Orc Emperor at that time thought that the Kingdom of Eagle had a big crisis, so he wanted to “fish in troubled waters . ” He launched a large invasion but was ambushed by the Kingdom of Eagle . The Orc Army was defeated, and six legendary strongmen died . Even the Orc Emperor himself died in the battlefield .
“Those are the two scenarios . One is negative, and the other one is positive . So you can tell which is good and which is bad easily . ”
Javier nodded as he listened . Now he felt that he had worried too much before . He had been a fuss .
However, after thinking for a while, he was worried again . He asked, “In any case, the combination of theocracy and royalty in many countries is quite common . If you are against royalty openly, the kings and the big aristocrats will definitely use their influence to attack you . If they unite, it will be difficult for each temple to reject their request!”
Sui Xiong smiled . However, this time, it was not a gentle smile but a cold smile .
“If they are not afraid of death, they can try,” he said coldly . “Don’t forget, bro . In this world, I am the only god whose real body is walking in the mortal world . If they really irritate me, I can kill all the royal families and all the big aristocrats overnight . I will kill their entire family as well!”
Javier trembled and widened his eyes, staring at Sui Xiong .
“You… you are not serious, right?”
“Do I look like I’m kidding?” Sui Xiong asked .
“That’s too much!”
“Too much?” Sui Xiong said, sneering . “The tears of a family are better than the tears of a country . What’s more, I always pay attention to credit . If I say I’ll kill their entire family, then I will kill their entire family . And I’ll make sure that their family will die neat and tidy, so no one will be left to wail at the funerals . ”
Javier couldn’t help but swallow some saliva . He decided to note all the gods who were friendly with him so that they wouldn’t instigate and ask Sui Xiong for trouble .
This jellyfish friend… It seems that his jellyfish friend had some mental problems .

The most terrifying thing was that he was a super strongman who had the ability to turn the threat of terror into reality!
If he said that he would kill their entire family, then he would kill their entire family . He really could do that!
“The basis of domination is violence . In the face of more powerful violence or the violence that is not strong enough but cannot be restrained, any rule is pale and weak . ” Sui Xiong stopped sneering and explained seriously to Javier . “In the current Main Plane, I am the most powerful force of violence . Even if the gods are united and send down their avatars, they could only drive me away at best . But, as soon as they leave, I will come back and kill those families immediately . So in this case, I am not afraid that the kings and the big aristocrats will mess with me . If I don’t use violence to deal with them, then they should be thankful . ”
Javier nodded repeatedly . Until now, he started to feel that his jellyfish friend’s brain was still normal and not mad .
However, he still needed to tell his other friends not to bother Auscar . This was still very necessary .
Javier thought about it, and then he asked, “Those things are alright . However, how are you going to solve the contradiction between you and the two gods, Royalty and Aristocracy? When you propose this document, you will stand on the standpoint of their life-and-death enemy, and there will be no room for negotiation!”
“Solve? Why should I solve it with them?” Sui Xiong said, laughing . “The God of Royalty has no sense of existence and the God of Aristocracy… I have a contradiction with her . If I have the opportunity to kill her, I wouldn’t mind stabbing her . If I am the unlucky guy, she will definitely come to hit me with a stone as well . Now, I’m just clarifying the contradiction between us . So what?”
“If she comes to fight against you?”
“Then let her come! I’m not afraid of a war between gods!” Sui Xiong said with confidence . “As for the fight at the mortal level… Hah Hah! Let her find a way to send her big troops to the Ashes Woods first!”
Javier thought about it, and then he couldn’t help but laugh .
In a war of gods, he believed that his jellyfish friend was absolutely not afraid to fight with the God of Aristocracy . If they really fought, Javier even dared to bet over it . If the God of Aristocracy won, then that would be one to ten; if the Void Mask won, then ten to one . And the battle in the mortal world… As his jellyfish friend had said, the future Republic of Northwest wouldn’t border any regions where the God of Aristocracy had a strong force . Therefore, it was simply impossible for the God of Aristocracy to find trouble with the Church of Void Mask in a mortal war .
“The northwest is very remote,” Sui Xiong said . “It is very distant from the ‘civilized world’ in the general sense . As long as I don’t take the initiative, after a few decades, everyone will get used to the existence of the republic . After all, there are many strange countries in the world . There are many strange gods, too . For most aristocrats, as long as we don’t live near them and we don’t attack them, then what we say and what we do is none of their business . ”
Javier nodded . He finally let go of his worries .
“I thought you were going to find trouble out impulse . Now it seems that you are still very calm . As you said, as long as you don’t blindly expand and you patiently develop slowly, after a few years and decades, everyone naturally will default to the existence of the Republic of Northwest . ” After saying that, he couldn’t help but laugh . “Maybe at that time, many gods will change their minds and support the system you designed!”
“To be honest,” Sui Xiong said, smiling, “I don’t have much hope . But think about it; one day, maybe I’ll succeed . Perhaps in the not-too-far future, the Republic’s system will become the mainstream of the human world . By then, all countries will implement a system of separating bureaucrats and titles under the premise of respecting theocracy . They will no longer confer the territories and no longer cast royal power . At that time, those who engage in royalty and aristocracy will become the outsiders who will be warned and rejected by others . ”
“I think there will be a day like that . ”
“Yeah, there will be a day,” Sui Xiong said with confidence . “It may take a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, but for us, is time that important?
“As long as the direction is correct, I don’t care how much time it will take!”
