Chapter 81 – It's time to practice

The next morning, Wood accompanied his wife Elena and daughter Camilla to see off Mrs. Jenny and Karun on the cargo ship.

When the ship left the port, Karun prepared to return to his own cabin. Mrs. Jenny walked up to him and asked, "I heard that you drank with Wood last night?"

"I had orange juice," Karun answered.

"Wood is a straightforward person. He actually has no bad intentions, at least not towards his own people."

"Yes, I can feel that Mr. Wood is a very good person."

"What about Camilla?" Mrs. Jenny suddenly asked.

"Camilla? Who is she?"

"She is Wood's daughter."

"Oh, her name is Camilla."

Mrs. Jenny stared at Karun carefully, while Karun looked sincerely puzzled.

After a while, Mrs. Jenny smiled and said, "When we were boarding the ship just now, I noticed the strange looks that Elena and Camilla gave you."

"Really? I didn't notice."

Mrs. Jenny pointed to her nose and said, "Camilla took off her nose ring. Did you notice the clothes she wore today? They were a bit too quiet, even though she hasn't gotten used to this kind of attire yet."

"Madam, I think it's impolite to stare at other young ladies."

Mrs. Jenny leaned forward and whispered in Karun's ear. Karun smelled the heat of her perfume.

"You need to remember that you and Unis have an engagement arranged by both grandfathers."

"I always remember, Madam."

"Good." Mrs. Jenny stepped back and continued, "Very good."

Mrs. Jenny turned around to go back to her room. Unis came forward to help her mother with her clothes, but Mrs. Jenny pushed her away and said, "Go help your man!"

Unis stood still and smiled apologetically at Karun.

Puerh, who was lying on the golden retriever next to them, used his paws to scratch the dog's ears and whispered, "Someone is coming to compete for the food bowl. Now the food smells even better."

Unis accompanied Karun into the room and started to help him make the bed. After the bed was made, she said to Karun, "Don't take what my mother said to heart."

"I won't," Karun shook his head. "I'm glad to hear it."

This was probably a matter of different perspectives. From a male perspective, it was more comfortable to hear a future mother-in-law tell you to stay away from her daughter than to hear her tell her daughter to keep an eye on you.

Unis came forward and hugged Karun. Puerh jumped onto the bed and the golden retriever tried to follow, but Puerh glared at it and said, "Do you think you deserve to be on the bed too?"

"Woof~" The golden retriever reluctantly walked to the corner and lay down.

Puerh lay on the bed and waved his paws. "On the way home, I felt the foolishness of my family."

It was impossible not to be foolish to run a family to this extent.

"But I am also somewhat glad, and even hopeful, that they can be as foolish as Wood. After all, being foolish is not terrible, as long as it's cute."

In strict terms, Wood's personality did not meet the standards of a legitimate heir of the family. He was too impulsive and too emotional. Although this kind of character was good for making friends, it was difficult to really accomplish great things, let alone bring the family back to its former glory.

You can be willful, and you can be casual. But the premise is that you must have the strength of Dis, so that after confronting the Order of the Gods, you can still protect your family and continue to live a peaceful life.The rise of a family certainly requires a large number of people to overcome obstacles, self-sacrifice, and even sacrifice, but at the same time, maintaining the position of a family also requires various sacrifices.

Wood doesn't fit this criterion. The highest achievement he has achieved in his life is just a smuggler on an island.

But his performance satisfied Puerh. If she weren't still a cat now, Puerh really wanted to pat him on the shoulder and tell him that he was a cute little one.

"Karun, the ship will arrive at the York City port tomorrow morning, and then we can take a car to the Allen Manor at noon or in the afternoon. I hope the people in my family are also the cute and stupid type like you.

Do you know that in this world, the most feared are not really smart people or really stupid people, but those who think they are smart but are actually stupid."

"Have you lowered your requirements for your family so much?" Karun teased.

"Because I have placed the hope of the family's revival on you." Puerh said naturally, "I have told you before, you are not a god."

"But I inexplicably seized the body prepared by the evil god."

"That's too high, I can't see it... no, cats can also be like this, that is, they fear the darkness in front of them and long for the boundless starry sky.

Moreover, I think you are a good person, Karun, really, you are a good person;

Although you are a sophisticated egoist, you have always had a bottom line."

"Are you praising me?"

"Of course."

"I think we can save some words on these things now."

"As long as we drink and eat, words won't be less." Puerh said, "I haven't talked much with you in the past ten years, and Dis didn't like to talk to me after he grew up.

Of course, it may also be because of the height Dis stands and the things he sees that I can't understand."

Karun opened his notebook, put the pen away, and faced Puerh lying on the bed;

Puerh was also naturally sitting up by Karun's serious attitude;

Karun said, "We are going to Wien, actually, we have already arrived in Wien."

"Yes."

"So, there is an important thing. I think we can start preparing now."

"Such as?"

"I become a god's servant."

Puerh nodded, "Of course, how can I bear to let you not practice? So, have you decided which system to follow?"

"Dis has never told me anything like this." Karun said.

"Dis has told me that if I secretly help you purify, he will throw me into the sea."

"Now it's okay."

"Yes."

One person and one cat sat face to face;

After about three minutes;

Karun asked, "Don't tell me you have never thought about how to help me practice?"

Puerh exclaimed, "Why should I go and think about how to help Dis's grandson practice!"

"So, you are not prepared at all?"

"Well... I can think of something on the spot, can't I?"

"I know a little bit from books and what I have seen. How many systems are there in total?"

"There are many." Puerh answered seriously, "In this world, not only the church system, of course, the church system is definitely the strongest system. It has a deep foundation, thick branches, dense branches, and high height."

Puerh began to pace on the bed:

"So, the church system is the most stable and excellent system recognized in this world.

However, there are also different churches in it.

The system of the big church is definitely better than that of the small church, but it is not absolute;

Because some small church systems may be difficult to follow, but they will be very powerful once they are followed.There are some large churches that may not be good at fighting, or their original backbone was not born to fight, such as the Principle God Church where Mr. Hofen is located.

In addition, in different regions, environments, and needs, it is also difficult to specifically distinguish which is better or worse."

"What about the Order Church?"

"The Order Church is the best at fighting among all church systems!" Puerh waved her meaty claws, "If your fists are not hard enough, who would be willing to follow the order you set?"

"Okay, I understand. Then what about outside of the church system?"

"There are many types of systems outside of the church system, such as family systems. Each family has its own system inheritance. For example, when you shook hands with Wood yesterday, did you feel your hand burning?"

"Um."

"The Allen family's system is closely related to water and fire. If this belief system continues, the practitioner's ability to manipulate water and fire can be enhanced.

For example, when I was still a human, I was best at dealing with fire;

At that time, what Aselos liked to do most was to find a deserted beach and lie there, letting me use fire to roast the vine shells attached to its body."

"What is the difference between this family system and the church system? Or is it that when the family is large enough and has enough branches, it becomes a church system?"

"No, no, no, you can't generalize based on size. Because there is a basic point involved in the family system...bloodline."

"Bloodline?"

"Yes, the family system can be a branch of the church system, as an internal supplement to the church system, but the family system can never become a church system.

Like your Yinmerlais family, it is a judge family under the Order God Church, and can produce members of the judge family for generations, which proves that there is a kind of inheritance in the Yinmerlais family bloodline.

But can this kind of inheritance create a church? That is impossible.

Because you can't absorb other members, unless you work hard to have children.

But the Principle God Church has studied this issue. That is, the more offspring a family system has, the lower the concentration of its inheritance. It's like putting a sugar cube in a coffee cup. You can taste the sweetness, but if you drink it in a swimming pool, you won't taste anything.

When it reaches that point, it is unnecessary to continue with the family system, and it is even better to go with the church system, because the church system is inevitably suitable for the public. It only requires your spirituality, and when you go up, it depends on your own enlightenment."

"Oh, I see. How is the family system formed?"

"It's similar to the church system. Dis's view is that people first have faith before the gods who carry this faith appear.

The first ancestor of the family system can be a person in the church or someone who has comprehended something from elsewhere and has had a great impact on their own bloodline.

Then, this belief...or faith, can be passed down from generation to generation in the bloodline.

So, the church system believes in gods, and the family system believes in ancestors.

Believers pray to the gods and obtain power from them; family members pray to their ancestors or the beliefs created by their ancestors, and receive blessings.

The source is different, but the process in the middle is actually very similar."

"Besides these two systems, what other systems are there?"

"There are many, and they can't be counted. Some strange beliefs may not be suitable for preaching or are too extreme, so they are not accepted by the public, such as totems in primitive tribes."Even if it's worshiping a stone, a bone, or a copper coin, this primitive worship can also give rise to a corresponding system.

It may not have too many followers or a powerful universal path, but it's possible that a genius suddenly emerges in a certain era and rises very high.

There are so many miscellaneous systems that it would take three days and three nights to explain them all.

But one can be singled out and talked about, and that is the system of evil gods."

"The system of evil gods?"

The golden-haired dog in the corner perked up its ears.

"Evil gods are a special kind of existence. Do you know why they are called evil gods?"

"It probably has nothing to do with the evil god itself."

"Correct.

A god that has been defeated by a true god, judged, and denied in cognition is called an evil god.

Of course, there are also some strange gods who behave very viciously and ultimately incur public anger.

There are also cases like Ruiruisa, where the Wall God Church was originally a very small church, and the Wall God was just a very small god. As a result, she insisted on painting the mural of the Order God's end during the heyday of the Order God.

Then she was suppressed by the Order God and defined as an evil god.

There is also a rule that generally, those who are labeled as "evil gods" have definitely been annihilated in the human church system.

This is easy to understand. If you have no followers in the human world, no one will speak for you. If someone says you are an evil god, then you are an evil god."

"I understand. Then this system..."

"But even the most fallen evil god is still a god, and a table of exquisite dishes with a large group of people fighting over it can probably be eaten more than a broken bowl of food fed to you by an evil god.

Therefore, the inheritance and scale of the evil god system is generally small, but the quality is generally high.

Of course, there are also precedents where fallen evil gods rise again and establish a new religion to wash away the stigma of being an evil god, but the proportion of such cases is very low.

For example, Linda attempted to summon Ruiruisa with a super-standard god descent ceremony. Even without the Order God's intervention, the elders of Xiti could easily send Ruiruisa back. Even if the summoning was successful, it would probably be killed before it could recover!"

The golden-haired dog in the corner swallowed its saliva.

"But the system of evil gods is very fascinating. The radio fairy probably had this idea from the beginning when she met you.

So, if you want to go down the path of the evil god system, well..."

Puerh looked at the golden-haired dog in the corner.

"Just kneel in front of it, pray devoutly to the great dog evil god, or call out its true name, and it will respond to you. Then you can go down this path.

However... it might be embarrassing to say it out loud.

For example, when others say they worship the Abyss God, the Principle God, or the Nature God, and you say, 'I worship a dog,' haha meow!"

Puerh laughed and rolled on the bed;

The golden-haired dog furrowed its brow, its dog face looking very serious.

"So, which path do you think is suitable for me?"

Puerh put away her smile,

The image of Karun waking up the dead in the underground workshop of the Mingke Street home flashed through her mind.

Finally,

She spoke:

"The system of the Order God Church."

But soon, Puerh said again:

"However, Dis seemed to find that he couldn't continue to walk down that path in the end. Although Dis belongs to a very high level, I think you have the opportunity to reach that height too.

In addition,

Your family heritage,

Your familiarity,

And your ability to make the dead dance,

I think the system of the Order God Church is the most suitable for you.""Let's go with the Order of the Gods system."

"Aren't you worried?"

"Dis didn't tell me not to go with the Order of the Gods system."

"You make a good point. There must be something different about you, so Dis thinks you can avoid his mistakes."

"How do I do that?" Karun asked.

"The orthodox way is to go to the grassroots organization of the Order of the Gods after arriving in York City, become an ordinary believer, and then through years of prayer, one day your soul and body will begin to purify."

"What about the non-orthodox way? I remember it requires a holy artifact?"

"Yes, the former is casting a wide net, which can discover real good fish, but it takes too long. So normally, those who have the conditions will choose to use holy artifacts as an auxiliary. The breath of the holy artifact can help you better complete the purification, and the level of the holy artifact can also affect the degree of purification. The more solid and stable the first step is, the more benefits you can get in the future, just like laying a foundation."

"You can help me purify, I remember."

"Of course." Puerh raised her head. "Although it sounds strange, I am indeed a very high-quality... even a sacred artifact that cannot be described by quality. When preparing for the purification ceremony, you place a copy of 'Light of Order' in front of you. If you already know it by heart, you don't even need to put it there. I will put my paw on your forehead, and you will recite the doctrine of the Order of the Gods while calling out to the God of Order in your heart. When you receive a response, your body will undergo some subtle changes. I will capture this change and help you catalyze and accelerate it, making it more thorough and perfect. After this ceremony, you will be a servant of the gods. You can even use your false identity as a 'wild' servant of the Order of the Gods to report to their grassroots organizations, but of course, you cannot use the surname of Inmores."

"Can we do it now?"

"No."

"What else do we need?"

"First of all, we need a large amount of blessed holy water, leaves, or even playing cards... Anyway, a large number of objects that have been blessed need to be placed around you. When the purification ceremony begins, these things can help you counteract some... um, hostility, to put it this way."

"Like drinking milk immediately after accidentally ingesting heavy metals?"

"Yes, but those blessed things are actually very cheap. You can buy a lot of them with money because there are dedicated servants or revelations that rely on blessing these things to sell them. In addition, the most important thing is time. We need a quiet and secluded space, without any disturbance, to complete this ceremony perfectly."

"How much blessed holy water do we need? And how much time?"

"For ordinary people, one bowl is enough, and the ceremony time is five minutes."

"Oh, that's easy to prepare."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Kevin suddenly barked.

Karun pointed to Kevin. "What is Kevin saying?"

"It says it's not enough, not safe, and not reliable."

"Woof! Woof!"

"It also says you need a swimming pool of blessed holy water and three days and three nights."

"So much?" Karun was surprised.

"Woof!"

Find the original at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"It says yes."

"Woof! Woof!" ("You can come and worship me and follow my system!")

"What did it just say?"

"It says it's thinking about nonsense!"

"..." Golden Retriever.

"What do you think?" Karun asked."I think the preparation requirements are correct, but with such a large amount of work, we'll have to wait until we reach the Allen Estate and ask the Allen family for help, or you can go and buy it yourself. I'm sure the radio fairy has a lot of money," said Puerh.

"Well, we'll have to wait until we're settled on land," Karun said helplessly.

It takes three days and three nights to solve the problem. Blessing a swimming pool with water is a big project.

"Finally, Karun, this conversation was supposed to happen before you undergo purification. But because the amount of work for your purification is too large, I have to bring it up now. You need to be serious. This is part of the process. Whether it's the church system, the family system, or the evil god system, there is one question that will be asked before you embark on this path. Please think carefully and answer from your heart."

Karun sat up straight and nodded to Puerh. Puerh asked in a very serious voice, "This is a lonely path. This is an irreversible path. This is a path full of confusion. So, are you really ready to embark on this path?"

Karun closed his eyes and began to think slowly. He said, "Actually, I'm not ready."

In Karun's mind, Lady Molly's giant mouth appeared, as well as Mr. Mosang's crying, the little girl who finished the last dance in front of him, the Siso family who chose to embrace instead of revenge, and finally, Mandira, who gave him a farewell kiss...

In the end, the image that appeared in Karun's mind was his family, especially...Dis.

"Because, since the moment I opened my eyes for the first time in this world, I have already been on this path."
