Five days to become a marquis, every three days to cultivate two.

Don't ask about tiredness and sorrow, I'm not sad anyway.

If a slacker in the countryside of Daliang knew that his random words had become a reality hundreds of years later, he would probably lament that he was born into the wrong dynasty and could not live a life of waiting for death.

Even now, there were a large number of outsiders who felt that the work and rest system in China was too loose. A week in the world was seven days, but China was unique. There were only five days in a week and two days off. According to the old saying of the Xia people, this was a typical case of " fishing in three days and drying the net in two days ".

However, the work efficiency of the people of China could be said to be very high.

For example, Mufa closed the textbook, turned off the projector, and took out the magic disk. When he looked at the time again, he would be surprised to find out: There was still half an hour before class ended.

Mufa thought to himself,'Today's progress is a little fast…Why don't I ask the children for their opinions before talking about something else?'

" Ahem." After clearing his throat, Mufa said," Today's lesson…is over."”

"However, since there is still a lot of time left in this class, so…can I talk about some topics that everyone is interested in?”

" Just to clarify, it has to be related to history." Mu Fa smiled." Don't go overboard."”

Unable to restrain himself, Liu Meng boldly raised his hand."Talk about war! Tell me about the history of the world war!"

" Didn't we learn it last year…" Some children objected directly." Besides, the superintendent said that he would explain it in detail in the future.”

"The Empire?" Some elves in the classroom said," Just treat it as a pre-study?”

" We can talk about foreign history," someone else suggested." Gwelland?”

"Why don't we talk about Central Continent? That…Moslen?"

"Pingzhou, right? Didn't they say that Serene has the longest history?”

The children had their own opinions and could not come to a conclusion.

" Divine…Divine rule." When Chen Yinglong said this word, the classroom suddenly fell silent." Divine rule era?”

Hearing this, Mu Farao rubbed his chin with interest.

" Very good." Mufa pulled out a wooden chair that he rarely used and sat down." Everyone has chosen a very good topic.”

" However," Mufa pointed his index finger at the students and shook it," it's most closely related to the curriculum, and it's not like he's going to teach in a secondary school. There's only what he said-"

" Divine rule, the era of divine rule," Mu Fa continued after noticing that most of the students were interested." It's actually a concept that only appeared in recent times.”

"The concept of divine rule originated from the Middle Continent and Upper Continent. As for the exact location, we don't know.”

"If you have read books about the Imperium or heard stories about the Imperium from others, you might know that the Supreme Emperor determined the nature of the 'god'.”

" Of course, personal worship is strictly prohibited in the Republic." Mufa tilted his head with a smile. He put his arm on the table and supported his face with one hand." No one can die, so we'll just call him Zhenwu."”

"According to Zhen Wu, all the gods of the eight continents are hiding in Yingzhou.”

"Zhenwu also said that the mighty figures in the myths and legends of the various continents are only the same existence on the inside.”

" The functions that 'They' represent are all repeated-the earth, the sky, the sea, production, wealth, and providence.”

"Especially the supreme existences, they are known as omnipotent.”

"Or a Godking? Or Qiong Gao? Or the Almighty Lord?"

" It's the same existence, the same God." The students listened to Mufa's narration." It's just that different regions, different civilizations, and different names.”

"Each function and concept corresponds to only one God.”

"Zhen Wu said that all the gods are hiding in Yingzhou. Since thousands of years ago, they had taken pleasure in manipulating the world, inciting wars and toying with all living beings.”

"As for the time that Zhen Wu mentioned, some bold officials of the empire once asked for the emperor's opinion. The answer was Gu Yin.”

" But now, the academic community usually marks the split of the Moslen Dynasty as the beginning of the Age of Theocracy.”

" After all, the fact that a True God has so many believers is an important reason for Moslen's collapse.”

" As for the end of the Age of Divine Rule…" Mufa decided to test the children." Think about it, when will it be?”

"Empire! The establishment of an empire!" Soon, a student reacted and gave a convincing answer.

Yes, it was the Empire, it could only be the Empire.

The Emperor destroyed all gods and created an unprecedented empire.

The establishment of the empire naturally meant that the era of divine rule had ended.

"That's not right." Before the students could continue to let their imagination run wild, the inspector directly rejected their answers.

Most of the children who were splashed with cold water did not react in time and were stunned.

When he denied the student's answer, Mufa's tone was firm and decisive, without a moment of hesitation.

" Everyone has overlooked a very important point." Mu Fa smiled as if he had predicted the future." The Emperor we are talking about, Xuan Tian Zhen Wu-"

"What is the difference between his actions, words, and deeds and that of a god? We call him by human pronunciations, but because he calls himself human.”

"If you know anything about the relevant history books, you will know that his title, Xuan Tian Zhen Wu, comes from an immortal in the legends of the Xia people.”

" True Martial's empire is still ruled by gods." Mu Fa's eyes were particularly solemn." True Martial is the only new god of the empire.”

The students fell silent.

Only one person raised his hand and expressed his confusion.

The students knew that it was Chen Yinglong again.

"But the True Martial Army…doesn't it allow all the subjects of the empire to live the happiest lives?”Chen Yinglong was confused.

"If he was like the old gods, why would he do all this?”

Mufa really wanted to applaud this bold student who could always grasp the key, but unfortunately, the time was up.

The bell announced the end of the history class and also stopped the in-depth discussion.

" Students, if you have any questions about the topic just now, come and find me during class." Mufa, who had already walked out of the classroom, suddenly turned around and smiled evilly." I won't answer either."”

" I'll only be able to discuss this with everyone after three years." Before he left, Mu Fa even waved his hand." Please forgive me."”

The stunned students still didn't understand. What was the inspector talking about just now?

……

After school in the afternoon, the older children brought Sai Er out for dinner as usual.

" F * ck." In the restaurant, Li Yiyi gritted her teeth, tore off a large piece of meat, and started chewing." Today, the inspector can act cute. He's in love."”

"Inspector…no, aren't the Wood Elves all quite cute?”Shocked by Li Yiyi's ferocious expression when she was eating, Liu He didn't even dare to breathe loudly." You don't usually see it?”

" Temperament, temperament." Li Yiyi dropped the roasted lamb leg in her hand and wiped her mouth." Just like Esther?" Although she was quite cute, she felt uncomfortable with the same expression.”

After thinking for a while, Esther decided not to nod. He just pretended that he didn't hear anything.

" I don't quite understand what the inspector said today…" Sun Si drank some water and swallowed it with the vegetables." It feels too complicated. I can't make sense of it."”

" What the inspector wants to emphasize," Seale said as he put down his chopsticks." It should be Zhenwu, right?"”

"Oh?" Chen Yinglong looked at the little guy.

" The inspector might be trying to say that Zhenwu is also a god," Saier said his guess." We shouldn't look at Zhenwu with the eyes of ordinary people.”

" Uh... although Zhenwu is not an ordinary person," Seer felt that his wording was wrong and scratched his head awkwardly." But... that's roughly what it means, right?”

" I know what you mean," Li Yiyi answered quickly without thinking." It's actually telling us not to believe in True Martial."”

"Yes, that's what I mean." Sun Si slapped his palm.

"That's what I mean." Wang Xiao followed suit.

" You woke me up from my dream," Liu Meng couldn't help but sigh." Sister Li, you've hit the nail on the head.”

Astor also agreed, Li Yiyi had hit the nail on the head and grasped Mufa's meaning.

" We can't be superstitious." Chen Yinglong suddenly realized." If Zhenwu is a 'god', worshipping him is equivalent to being superstitious…So that's what the inspector meant?!”

"Ah, right! " Refuse superstition. Start with me." Li Yiyi puffed out her chest and revealed a firm gaze." Beat everything…Beat what?"”

" But it doesn't make sense." Chen Yinglong was conflicted again." Why does True Martial want to make magical crystals? Why create magic? Why should I feed the whole world? There's no need…"

" Why do you have so many 'whays'?" Li Yiyi glanced at her cousin." Hurry up and eat. You eat the least."”

" Maybe he's a good person." Sal patted his bulging belly and sighed." He shines on the earth, and his private light is gone."”

" To help the world," Ester corrected softly." Sage."”

"Where did this Saint come from?" Chen Yinglong shook his head." Mr. Ancestor doesn't consider himself a saint.”

" I'm just being modest…" Li Yiyi rinsed her mouth and retorted her cousin," Brother, don't forget, are you being modest?"”

The others ate and drank, no longer prepared to interrupt.

They knew that if they continued, they would have to engage in a familiar bickering.

……

One weekend, after breakfast, Sai Er walked along the stream and soon arrived at Grandpa Zhang's precious library.

Grandpa Zhang was still traveling and had not returned.

For more than a year, the heavy responsibility of cleaning the library was basically taken over by Saer.

In any case, for Seer, cleaning the dust was a good way to practice his perception and control of small things.

Pressing the switch, Sayre lit up the lights in the library and began to search for the target.

Seer remembered that although Grandpa Zhang's collection was mainly about ancient literature and history, there were still many modern works.

Sure enough, in the corner of the second floor, Saer found a book that discussed the " Age of Divine Rule."

Hmm…The author is from Pros? Saer scratched his head in surprise. He had never read Pros 'book.

After letting a small stool float over, Sayre sat down and began reading.

"After careful consideration, I will return the Empire's reign to the Age of Divine Rule. Perhaps because of the Emperor's omniscience and omnipotent power, he was no longer among the known intelligent races.”

"In the past, Moslen ruled over two continents. There was politics but no religion, and the country was strong and prosperous.”

"…However, the Rong beasts have repeatedly invaded the coast, and the demons have repeatedly invaded the interior…The army has been defeated, the capital has changed hands, the monarch's power has declined, and the people are in a panic.”

"... In addition to the frequent occurrence of phenomena, those with ulterior motives recruited believers and incited rebellion. The people eventually abandoned the king and entered the religion to believe in God.”

"... The sect has been established for more than a hundred years. It has won the hearts of the people. It has a large army in its hands and acts arbitrarily... The sovereign power is bestowed by the gods, and the human rights are bestowed by the gods..."

"Government belongs to the religion and not the monarch. Power is in the hands of the gods and not humans.”

After reading the introduction, Saer was a little helpless and could only scratch his head. This strange language style…was probably translated at the end of the Liang Dynasty?

After returning the book to its original position, Seale had an idea.

Why don't I just look at the senior textbooks?

Didn't the inspector say that teaching books were the easiest to understand? Even if it was a senior…he should be able to read it?

Grandpa Zhang once told him that the large pile of teaching materials he used when he was teaching was placed in the bookcase at the innermost part of the first floor.

Hmm…It was quite neat. After finding the corresponding bookcase, Saier sighed and began to look for books.

According to what Mufa said…intermediate academies wouldn't teach it, so it should be a teaching book after level 15?

He looked for his history textbook…well, the first and second volumes. These two books were much thicker than the ones he was learning now.

Opening the first book, Seer quickly glanced at the table of contents and found the words related to the Age of Divine Rule.

Sayre sighed,[The textbook is indeed concise and clear…although it's different from the previous book.] The history books started with the ancient Yin Dynasty and told the story before the arrival of the Divine Rule Era.

According to the archaeologists and the Emperor, the king and god of Yinyi had a cooperative relationship: The king sacrificed to the god, and the god returned the king's favor.

Every time there was a severe flood or drought, the King of Yin would bring his people to pray to God to calm the anger of heaven and earth and bless the harvest every year.

Unfortunately, the last King of Yin was tyrannical and the gods chose to assist Emperor Xia in destroying Yan City. After that, Emperor Xia destroyed three neighboring countries and unified the world, creating the title of emperor.

But the emperor still had to bow to the gods-he had to be the spokesperson of the gods.

The textbook emphasized that the Xia ruler was very wise. He used the name of divine right to make himself the embodiment of God in the hearts of the people. Supreme.

In this way, loyalty to the emperor meant worshiping the gods, and worshiping the gods meant that the emperor's monarchical power was not subject to the gods.

Flipping to the back, the textbook even compared the Middle Continent and the Summer Continent, emphasizing the evil of the gods and indicating the luck of the Summer Continent.

Fortunately, the Xia people had been martial since ancient times and were born with the spirit of resistance. The sage also said: respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them.

Otherwise, the Summer State would very likely be like the Central Continent, sinking into a fanatical worship of the gods and having a dark history.

……

Leaving the library, Seer stretched himself and breathed in the fresh air by the river. Saier was a little dizzy from reading it just now. He yawned and couldn't understand it at all…

He only knew the general outline of the history, but he did not understand the meaning behind it. Except…which one? Saer closed his eyes,"Yes, that's right. The essence of gods is no different from humans, but even more evil and greedy."

In short:

There was nothing good about gods.
