Chapter 455: The issue of group belief

Su Zheng, captain's room.

Fu Qinghai, Tristan, No. 56.

The three of them were sitting in a circle chatting.

The Chapter Leader first poured a glass of strong wine for the Chief Intelligence Officer, and then prepared to pour a glass for the Hermit Master, but was stopped by the Chief Priest raising his hand. Tristan waved his hand and explained:

"Sorry, Khan, I don't drink. I have been used to following the rules of the Silver Hand for too many years."

"OK."

Fu Qinghai put down the decanter.

Turning to look at No. 56, he asked:

"What happened?"

"It's nothing serious."

No. 56 took a sip of wine and said lightly:

"Calixis Sector, Sintila Hive World, the first state church was built not long ago."

"What sect?"

Fu Qinghai sat back on the captain's chair and asked casually.

"The Temple of the Emperor of Salvation."

Number 56 said.

"It is indeed them."

Fu Qinghai laughed as expected.

Fu Qinghai, Tristan and No. 56 are all reincarnations, so they directly use the term "state religion" to refer to these religious figures and this emerging organization. But in fact, strictly speaking, by the end of the first half of the 32K era

, the Sect of the Temple of the Savior Emperor was officially recognized as the official religion of the empire and awarded the title of "State Church". Before that, there were countless sects that claimed to believe in the Emperor.

But now, Terra has acquiesced to their missionary behavior, and they are expanding very quickly. The last major event in the plot line was the "Great Purge". At that time, the Iron Buddha Chapter was still the Shenji Brotherhood. Fu Qinghai had already seen that the state religion

Priests are leading the displaced imperial people to rebuild their homes. Now, in just a few years, the state religion's faith has spread to the Calixis sector on the edge of the Hazy Star Field.

The Emperor's Temple of Salvation, a sect that relies on the "Emperor's Words" compiled by Lorgar before his fall as its main doctrine, is currently the mainstream sect and the most powerful sect. It is said that in order to achieve their current status, they even fought

A religious war that was not particularly large in scale.

"Moreover, there are some priests who followed the trading ships to the Phaeton Forging World. I noticed them at the airport, but they haven't started preaching yet."

Number 56 said.

"Ignore them."

Fu Qinghai quickly gave instructions:

"This sect has inherent flaws. Perhaps those who were originally founded are loyal, but they will soon become corrupted. They are too greedy for power and wealth. As for those who enter the Marquez King region and try to preach

Pastor, get rid of them all."

The Chapter Master made a throat-cutting gesture.

The chief intelligence officer nodded in understanding.

One of the founders of the Emperor's Temple of Salvation sect is the first living saint of the Human Empire - Eufrady Keeler. For the first time, this girl showed that she can use psychic powers without spiritual talent and only by relying on her pious faith.

Spells. But the Emperor had not yet sat on the Golden Throne at that time, so it is highly doubtful where the psychic powers in Ms. Keeler came from.

The Ecclesiarchy has always had disputes with the Ministry of the Interior. The two have long competed for the power to govern the empire's basic people's livelihood. It was not until Gao Zhi Van Dier came to power that he served as the Pope of the Ecclesiarchy and the Minister of the Interior at the same time. This dispute was finally over.

George Vandel's Emperor's Temple of Salvation sect was destroyed by Sebastian

Tian Sol's Alliance of Light sect was overthrown, and the state religion changed its dynasty. Therefore, even if you want to have a good relationship with the state religion, it is not a good relationship with the current state religion. They are a force destined to perish. Although they have existed for a long time,

For an Astartes, it's actually not that long.

"Okay, since there is no national religion, how does Khan think the issue of the Chapter's faith should be resolved?"

Tristan asked the crux of the matter.

"We follow the same old routine."

Fu Qinghai said bluntly:

"We believe in Imperial Truth."

"Ah? Imperial Truth?"

Alpha and the Word Bearers asked together.

Isn’t this too Old School?

It hasn't been long since the rebellion ended, the state religion has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people, and the empire's beliefs are very confusing. But everyone already knows that the so-called imperial truth is a complete lie and scam, and the two Space Marines from the traitorous legion know it very well.

. Even if you don’t believe in the God Emperor, you still have to believe in the truth of the empire at this time? What is the truth of this?

"That's right, the revised Imperial Truth."

Fu Qinghai took a sip of wine and said:

"Adding the content of upper subspace, we face up to psychic energy, face up to chaos, face up to these idealistic forces that lead to the corruption and depravity of human beings, and then be vigilant and guard against them."

The biggest problem with the Imperial Truth is that it does not acknowledge the existence of demons and evil gods, and tells people that psychic energy is just a special kind of energy, and there are no demons and monsters in the subspace. However, this statement has long been overturned as the rebellion progressed, Fu Qinghai

It is believed that the Iron Buddha now needs a new imperial truth - "Imperial Truth·Iron Buddha Revised Edition".

"It's not impossible."

After listening to the chapter leader’s thoughts.

Yin Xiuchang said that he could give it a try.

"I think it's quite creative."

The chief intelligence officer is a fun guy.

He doesn't care about any religious issues.

The beliefs of Space Marines can be roughly divided into the "Human Emperor Faction" and the "God Emperor Faction". Both believe in the Emperor, but the former regards the Emperor as a king and the latter regards the Emperor as a god. Currently, the "Human Emperor Faction" still

They occupy the majority, but the "God-Emperor" will become the mainstream in the later period. The typical representative of the "God-Emperor" is the Black Templars, and the Space Marines who have experienced the Great Crusade and the Great Heresy basically do not think that the Emperor is a god.

Fu Qinghai himself is a staunch "Human Emperor faction".

The Iron Buddha Chapter will also definitely be the "Human Emperor Faction".

The state religion dares not care what the Space Marines believe.

Even by the end of 32K, two-thirds of the people in the country had believed in the state religion. When the state religion was first established, legislation still stipulated that only two organizations could disrespect the beliefs of the state religion. Otherwise, not believing in the state religion was heresy and all needed to be purified.

.

And these two organizations.

One is called the Mechanicum.

One is called the Adeptus Astartes.

Since the state religion did not dare to control the Astartes Chapter at all, why did the "God-Emperor Faith" still become the mainstream belief of the Space Marines in the later period? Because the Space Marine was a mortal before he became a Space Marine. If he had accepted the state religion as a child

Belief, then after becoming a Space Marine, there is a high probability that you will also believe in the national religion - at least believe that the Emperor is a god.

This is why, even though it is clear that the State Church will not come to preach to the Astartes Chapter, Fu Qinghai still does not allow the State Church priests to enter the Marquez King Zone - you are not allowed to preach among mortals! Fu Qinghai asked Alpha

The soldiers dealt with these priests secretly. In fact, the Emperor's Temple of Salvation sect is not even an official religion at the moment. Even if they are stopped from preaching openly, it will not cause any trouble.

"Then, I will leave the task of revising and compiling the "Imperial Truth: Iron Buddha Revised Edition" to you."

Fu Qinghai looked at Tristan.

"No problem, Khan."

The cultivator Yin nodded and agreed.

Tristan is from the Word Bearers Legion. He has studied the complete version of "The Book of Lorgar" and is a serious theology expert. He also has a deep study of "Imperial Truth". The power staff used by the Chapter Chaplain

, it was also called the "Scepter of Truth" in the past, which means - if you don't believe in the truth of the Empire, then I will give you a scepter on your head!

Fu Qinghai turned to look at No. 56:

"In addition, don't let the missionary mission of the Temple of the Savior Emperor Sect in the Calixis sector develop too smoothly."

"I understand, Khan."

No. 56 nodded to express his understanding.

A fledgling national religious sect has to face an Alpha warrior secretly causing trouble... The difficulty of this level is indeed a bit beyond the standard. Moreover, the Calixis sector is the most densely populated and complex neighbor near the battle group's station. Five

No. 16 has already infiltrated it completely. He has been running the Calixis Sector Intelligence Network for a long time. He even has several mistresses with the Sector Governor, each mistress has several illegitimate children, and each illegitimate child has several moles on his buttocks.

Everything is clear.

The two subordinates gave their respective orders one after another.
