It is undeniable that many religions have great advantages in academic terms, especially in philosophy. Religion comes from the top of the world, but religion is not a charity, and even charity cannot only make efforts but not gain. Most religions have benefits, perhaps money or power. Even if the saints who first founded religion did not have such ideas, religion will become like this in the process of development.

He Ping has seen many religions in the main world, and in the military world, there are some relatively basic religious prototypes, and the same is true in the Giant Beast Paradise. The Langdon Empire once had several religions. Even now, some cities still retain religions, and there are many cities like Jialan City that are similar to religion, so He Ping is not unfamiliar with religion. After several days of contact with the Flame Demon Tribe and the Demon God Cult, He Ping discovered the abnormalities of the Demon God Cult.

The first is the favors, advanced living habits, and high-quality living resources that the Demon God Cult brings to the orcs in life. These things are not something that can appear simply. With the level of civilization of the orcs, it is impossible to develop to this level in a short period of time. The development of civilization is based on age or even century. Other orc tribes are still in a semi-primitive state. Why did this level be reached here?

Next, it was the issue of the income of the Demon God Cult. On the surface, the Demon God Cult is not without any income. Whether it is the harvest of the Flame Demon Tribe or the power of the Flame Demon Tribe, it seems that it is all in the hands of the Demon God Cult. However, He Ping could see that in fact, most of the gains of the orcs were consumed by themselves and did not contribute much to the Demon God Cult. Moreover, the things obtained by the Demon God Cult are also obtained by those clergy themselves, and they did not receive much substantial material funding from the believers.

The same is true for power. The other half-orc tribes, ideology and social conditions are basically in the stage of slavery. The top leaders of the tribe have certain power, but there is no decisive power. Although they control many warriors and many troops, these warriors may obey the orders of the senior leaders during battle. However, in peacetime, except for the chiefs and some warriors directly under the war lords, the rest of the warriors are basically free, and the tribe does not have much binding force on them.

The Flame Demon Tribe is similar in the situation. The Demon God Cult usually formulates some rules and does not have much management of the tribe. Warriors and clergy have considerable freedom. At least compared to the religions He Ping had seen before, the Demon God Cult is very relaxed. In this way, the Demon God Cult does not gain much power and money, but it also takes a lot of cost to spread and maintain religions. Where did they get these costs?

The most critical thing is that the clergymen are. Before this, He Ping had a question about how the Flame Demon Tribe captured several tribes around to reach its current scale, and why the three major tribes, Blood Axe, Black Falcon and Rage Hammer, did not interfere with their annexation behavior, and could also occupy the treasure land of the Charon Forest. The Flame Demon Tribe does not have many warriors. Even if there are many shamans, that is, there are many clerical personnel, the shamans do not have much direct combat power, and it is difficult to do these things with just shamans.

He Ping understood a little after coming here, because he also saw several shaman wizards in this settlement area, that is, clergy from the Demon God Cult. He felt extraordinary power in these shaman wizards. Their magic power was stronger than ordinary shaman wizards. He also saw these shaman wizards perform witchcraft in the settlement area, such as helping half-orcs heal wounds, or using newly captured monsters to extract beast souls to make hordes.

Generally speaking, witchcraft is not that convenient, because it produces unnatural phenomena and is considered to be against the will of heaven. Therefore, all witchcraft is difficult to instantly be released and requires a certain amount of preparation time. Some witchcraft also requires some special props, such as oil lamps, blood and skulls of monsters, special herbs, masks, etc. After the witchcraft is cast, both the caster and the caster will have certain side effects. Therefore, a shaman usually does not use witchcraft frequently.

But the shamans of the Flame Demon Tribe are different. The process of using witchcraft is very simple. Some simple witchcraft, such as healing techniques, can even be directly instantly. There is no preparation time and can be solved with a wave of hands. Even some complex witchcraft is very easy. It does not require the complex procedures that He Ping knows. It only takes a little time. As for the side effects, it is even more slight. If you don’t experience it carefully, you won’t feel it at all.

The most important thing is the process of making the Horcrux. He Ping did not see the special way of extracting the beast souls he imagined in this settlement area. When these shamans extracted the beast souls, they used their hands to touch the monsters directly, and then extracted the beast souls from them to make the souls. However, this was not beyond He Ping's expectations. These monsters are not monster-eating beasts, and they can extract the beast souls without any other help.

However, He Ping found that these shamans extracted beast souls very smoothly and quickly, and the extracted beast souls seemed to have changed a little. Although He Ping could not see any specific changes because there was no close observation, it was certain that there was any change. After all, he was also a shaman who had made holocaust tools, especially when he found that the beast souls extracted by these shamans were very active, he even affirmed his guess.

This Demon God Sect is not simple. Whether it is the improvement of the life of the orcs, the improvement of shamans and witchcraft, or the exception of giving more than benefits, it can be seen that the Ming religion has a great goal, but it is not just as simple as occupying a half-orc tribe. But most importantly, He Ping speculated that the reason why several tribes were able to unite when they attacked the Melianne Forest before was because the Demon God Sect was coordinating. Otherwise, the two tribes, Black Falcon and Rage Hammer, would never be able to fight side by side.

What the Demon God Cult did made He Ping think of what he did in the military world. Simply put, it was to integrate the achievements of high-level civilization into the lower-level civilization. However, what he did was relatively small in scale, just some weapons and equipment. The Demon God Cult did more obvious and larger in scale, which directly increased the level of civilization of a half-orc tribe.

Then the question is, He Ping himself was able to do this because he could interact between several worlds, so he could bring the products of high-level civilization to people of low-level civilizations. So how did the Demon God Cult do this? Where did the Demon God Cult know those higher-level lifestyles? Even among the orcs, even if there are amazing people, it will take a long time to take many detours to develop these things, and it will not be so smooth.

Could it be that behind the Demon God Cult is a member of a higher-level civilization world, who can also travel between different worlds like He Ping, so he has developed to this level? This idea made He Ping a little uneasy. Now, his system level is only level 2, not yet reached level 3. The world that can be connected to is only level 4, and the main world and the elf world are only level 4. So what level will this possible high-level civilization world be?
