Chapter 130: The Concept of Nation! Dimension Space Has No Limits


Duncan doesn't aim for a unified ideology because such a thing is impossible even in modern times.

It's best if they argue.

With royal power and the military in his hands, Duncan is not afraid of things getting out of hand. Only when people argue do they begin to question the church, for the church has no theoretical basis to suppress everything.

To be blunt, how many divisions does the Pope have?

If you really push Duncan to the limit, not to mention the reform of polytheism, even Christianity would have to be reformed, with Protestantism appearing over a thousand years early. The church in Britain has always had an independent tradition. If Duncan wishes, the saints here could challenge the church and crown Saint Patrick with a red robe.

Duncan can't outright suppress the church, as it has been spreading for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in folk beliefs. Forcing the church into a corner would make a slew of saints fight him to the death.

But it doesn't matter, internal divisions can be incited to make them fight among themselves.

"This is just the appetizer!"

Duncan's goal is to cause a major schism within the church.

There's an event in Chinese history called the Tri-Partarition of Jin. Now the seeds of a split between the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Church (or Greek Orthodox) have already been sown. Duncan just needs to fan the flames, challenging the church's authority while seeing if he can also establish Protestantism in England.

The triangle is the most stable structure, and the fight is particularly fierce.

Duncan doesn't understand the theological theories of the church, but that doesn't stop him from adding chaos. At the very least, he's aware of the Anglican Church in England and concepts like justification by faith. If really provoked, he'd dare to introduce liberation theology.

Dimension Space.

In Duncan's projection page, at some point, he found that all his territories had an additional mark.

——Southampton (small city).

——Faith: Polytheism influence 62%, Monotheism influence 38%.

——London (medium city).

——Faith: Polytheism influence 55%, Monotheism influence 45%.

These numbers are constantly changing.

Each county varies; in some, polytheism is stronger, while in others monotheism is stronger. There's also an extra label 'Law' beside them.

——Law: Suppress religious conflicts with law, maintain public order. The more refined the laws, the smaller the impact of religious conflicts.

Polytheism is compatible; Avalon beliefs do not greatly conflict with Norse beliefs. Only monotheism has strong exclusivity, easily triggering faith conflicts that deteriorate public order. But as long as the law is refined enough, even to the point of being somewhat harsh, with severe punishments in troubled times, private brawls can be suppressed to a certain extent.

It's unknown whether the people of Britain were misled by Duncan as king, but many are general believers, following whoever offers the best benefits.

To describe it using the poem of a Briton poet.

When I was ravaged by the Saxons, the Lord did not come to save me. When I became a lowly slave, the Lord did not come to liberate me.

When my brothers and sisters were massacred! When my home became a ruin! When my city turned into a sea of fire!

I did not see the shadow of an angel.

......

I am loyal to only one king, and he is the eternal king of Britain.

......

This Celtic poem is quite long. Duncan feels like Avalon beliefs can't quite compete with the church, so he pulls it out to suppress the church's spread. The general meaning is that everything today is granted by the King of Britain, not due to the church's merit.

This instead causes many believers to waver, swaying to whichever side offers benefits while remaining loyal to the king.

Meanwhile.

The altar in London from years ago has been reactivated. It was the Emperor of the Empire's altar to gather divine essence for himself. It has been abandoned for decades, but it's said that recently, residents of London have spontaneously been offering sacrifices to gather a shred of eternal divinity for the great King of Britain, Duncan.

Duncan feels nothing for the moment, but if the people wish to worship, then let them worship.

After all, there's freedom of religion.

If they want to believe in me, it's not impossible. I can give it a try; if I can't manage it, I'll smash the altar myself.

Duncan is quite carefree about this aspect.

From the perspective of God.

"Is this an upgrade in the capability of Dimension Space?" Duncan's expression was very surprised.

He scrolled down and surprisingly found other functionalities.

——Ideology (Freedom of Faith): Limited to polytheism and monotheism, recognition rate six percent. (Increasing)

——Ideology (Military Expansion): Recognition rate eighty-two percent. [The Briton people generally desire military expansion to gain benefits.]

(After ideological transformation is complete, it becomes the national idea of the Britain Kingdom.)

——Military Expansion (National Idea): The state's aversion to war significantly decreases, recruitment efficiency increases by one hundred percent, regular troops increase by three hundred percent, and a mobilization order can trigger a total war. [We desire war!]

This is an activating national idea; below it are some concepts that can't be activated.

——Maritime Supremacy (Yet to be activated).

——Refinement Agriculture (Yet to be activated).

——Technological Development (Yet to be activated).

Scrolling down, there are many potential national ideas that can be launched but require certain prerequisite conditions, which can be tried and are not too far from the current era.

Of course.

Duncan continued to scroll down, finding some future ideologies that cannot be activated at all.

——Renaissance Era (Cannot be activated): Prerequisite conditions not met.

——Modern Military Reform (Cannot be activated).

——Colonial Wave (Cannot be activated).

——Empire on which the sun never sets (Cannot be activated).

——Liberty, Equality, Fraternity (Cannot be activated).

Wait a moment.

This seems a bit too advanced.

If freedom, equality, and fraternity could be realized, Duncan wouldn't have to worry about the conflicts of faith.

There are also some rather chaotic national concepts below, all marked in gray.

——Early industrialization (cannot be activated): prerequisites not met.

——Heretic judgment (cannot be activated): requires national religion monotheism, launch the First Crusades.

——Extreme religious and political unity (cannot be activated): needs unified faith, special elements activation.

Hiss.

Is this forcing industrialization? The tech tree seems a bit far off, doesn't it?

Duncan is not exactly a talent in engineering; climbing the tech tree is not as simple as imagined. He has gathered a lot of top craftsmen, and even crafting a full plate armor is incredibly difficult. Recently, he wanted to create a telescope to observe the moon's surface, but the glass of this era is too impure. He's pinning his hopes on Merlin's alchemy.

Duncan continued scrolling down, becoming more and more alarmed, involuntarily taking a deep breath.

Because it gets even more intense below!

Terrifying indeed.

——Magic enlightenment (cannot be activated): prerequisites not met.

(Requires a complete magic system, analysis of Rune Language, Medieval Runes, Shaman totems, etc. Needs a magic academy system, super supernatural revival, and other prerequisites.)

——Earthly Divine Kingdom (cannot be activated): prerequisites not met.

(Requires unified theological theory, universal faith, extreme religious and political unity, construction of numerous religious wonders, conversion of Power of Faith, concept of laws turned into divine spirits, etc. Neither monotheism nor polytheism meets the prerequisites. Monotheism requires mythical wonder [Gate of Heaven], polytheism requires mythical wonder [Pantheon].)

(Once Earthly Divine Kingdom is activated, professions like Priest, Priest, Shaman, and other faith-based roles enter the awakening state.)

(The concept of divine spirits further turns laws into entities, forcibly stripping away the humanity of the gods.)

Whoa?!

This is getting a bit out of hand; even if it's a world with supernatural power, this is too much.

Duncan continued flipping down. There's more intensity below.

——Unity of All Spirits (cannot be activated): prerequisites not met.

(Requires Great Miracle—planetary consciousness awakening, human faith unification, grand law concept, integration of monotheism and polytheism systems, complete Taiyi theoretical cosmology, awakening of both idealism and materialism trends, technological explosion, human supremacy, super-natural awakening, etc.)

(Requires a great miracle in the human historical river—the concept awakening of the [Human Pan-Consciousness Aggregate]!)

(Requires unification of human trends, with Earth as the mother planet, entering the interstellar era!)

(Being with all humanity as a whole, Unity of All Spirits, humans eternally exist, employing both materialism and idealism, our journey is the starry sea!)

——Human Historical River (Dimension Concept): From the birth of humanity until its end, the immortals in the historical river collectively guard the dimensional concept of human civilization, responding to various threats from the vast universe. Throughout Earth's history, gods, spirits, and immortals use the human historical river as the foundation, until this race of humanity completely vanishes in the universe.

Sorry.

Disturbance indeed!

Every subsequent concept seems more exaggerated than the last; Duncan's scalp tingled just looking at them. He may have been a ruler in the Middle Ages, but he never thought it would become this grand.

Yet at this moment, Duncan also had a bit of confusion.

"Where exactly is the limit of Dimension Space?"

At first, when he entered Dimension Space and activated the Godly perspective, the system on the projection page seemed like a mount-and-blade type game. Later, when he started leading armies in battle, the projection page added a full-scale warfare strategy command interface.

Then Duncan established territories, and a statistical territory construction page appeared; later, when dealing with divine factions, the temple religious page showed up.

Recently, Duncan meddled in faith disputes, and suddenly the religious influence page emerged.

Maybe because Britain was unified, Duncan gained the substantial authority of a King. Now, even 'national concepts' have appeared. He began layout planning, letting Merlin research magic runes, inciting church disputes, recruiting scholars to climb technological heights, and then more terrifying things cropped up.

Does Dimension Space have no upper limit?

It's like real-time updates; as long as Duncan makes corresponding changes in reality, Dimension Space updates and iterates, revealing various new functions.

Duncan merely had some intention to influence civilization's trajectory, and now even early industrialization and magic enlightenment have appeared.

Terrifying indeed!

Duncan switched the perspective of the projection page, concentrating his focus on Human Form No. 2.

Then, nothing.

It's unknown if it's because the world of Human Form No. 2 is special, or if its inherent strength is insufficient, there simply isn't this type of functionality; frankly, it's like playing a simple RPG game.

——Ancient Catman Tribe (vassal) (population 102).

Duncan checked the page of Human Form No. 2; compared to Human Form No. 1's territory, it was completely incomparable, statistics so simple they were frustrating, only real-time updates of population data, and nothing else.

A few days ago, a hunter from the Catman Tribe met with an accident while hunting Ice Plain Wolves; originally there were 103 people, but yesterday a hunter died.

That's all there is.

Duncan searched carefully, only then did he find an extra mark on the large map.

——Dragon's Nest (small dragon's nest) (extremely crude) (unguarded).

This is the dragon's nest that the Juvenile Dragon recently dug out, about five meters in diameter, on a cloud cliff, marked somewhat.

"Is it that the stronger the Human Form, the greater the influence on the world?"

"The more functions displayed on the projection page?"

Duncan realized he had a lot to think about.

But just at this time.

His consciousness suddenly sensed a call from the void, then returning to Human Form No. 1, Duncan saw a faint mist rising before him, and the spectral shadow of Guardian Fairy Tethys flickering in and out.
