Chapter 1141: Factors Influencing the Power of Order, the Ascension Ritual Finally Arrives

But in this way, the Field Granting Ceremony seems to become quite redundant; such a ceremony focuses more on gathering Faith, but for now, Xia Duo does not have a great need for Faith, at least he is not prepared to complete the part of the Ascension Ritual that involves Faith.

Of course, this is not to say that the Field Granting Ceremony is meaningless; not only is it meaningful, but the significance is quite substantial!

Order is actually something invisible and intangible; could there really be things in this world called "Development Department" or "Working Group"?

The so-called "Development Department" and "Working Group" are actually those living, breathing territory residents!

Power and violence can create order, but the order born this way contains the seeds of chaos; from a long-term perspective, this is an order of unsustainable development, which Xia Duo does not choose.

Xia Duo hopes that the order and civilization he creates can develop for a long time, so this civilization and this order must be recognized and maintained by the majority of people.

In other words, he is using the hearts of the people to forge order!

Therefore, a form like the Field Granting Ceremony undoubtedly represents the Lord's confirmation and emphasis on the current order, which can influence people's hearts and make the order stable.

Furthermore, the Order Force will also become increasingly vigorous.

Perhaps it is also conducive to building an Order Cycle, who knows, we shall see when the time comes!

……

After stopping the Spellcasting, the Order Force of the 【Kaotuobu-Working Group】 had indeed returned to its original state, but after several rounds of the Order Cycle, its current form of change had some subtle differences compared to before.

Perhaps once the cycle is automated, it will be able to completely stabilize.

Of course, "stabilization" here does not mean that it is "frozen in state," but rather that it has a more stable pattern of change, or in other words, the pattern of change is completely in line with the changes of order.

As long as the order does not change, the Order Force will not change!

……

Next, Xia Duo tried several more cycles of Order Force, and through comparison, he discovered some patterns between order and Order Force—

First, the more order carriers there are, the stronger the Order Force born from them will be.

A specific example is that the Order Force of the 【Kaotuobu-Working Group】 is stronger than the Order Force of the 【Logistics Department-Working Group】.

Both the Development Department and the Logistics Department are composed of working groups, and their internal management is not much different; the biggest difference is the number of people. It can be said that the Development Department gathers more than a third of the territory's population, while the Logistics Department is far inferior.

Expressed in terms of Order Force, it is also far inferior.

The second pattern is that, in terms of influence on Order Force, the role of the order carrier is huge, but it is not as significant as the complexity of the order and the smoothness of its execution.

The most obvious example is that the strength of the 【Territory Guard-Combat Squad】 Order Force is almost on par with the 【Kaotuobu-Working Group】.

But one must know that the current number of people in the Daxia Territory's Territory Guard is only over 500, while the Development Department has a full 3,000-plus people!

With a six-fold difference in order carriers, it can only be said that there are other factors with higher weight!

Isn't the biggest difference between the Territory Guard and the Development Department that the former has more rules and strict execution?

……

Besides the Order Force born from the organizational systems of various departments in the territory, there is also the Order Force born from various legal systems.

Compared to the Order Force of the system, the scope of influence of the Order Force of law is wider, and its execution is no less than that of military law; in fact, military law is a type of law.

Undoubtedly, the Order Force of law is the most powerful type of Order Force that Xia Duo currently leads.

Moreover, the combined force of various legal Order Forces accounts for almost more than 70% of all Order Force; looking at it from this perspective alone, law is almost synonymous with order!

Of course, the combined force of the system Order Force can also account for more than 70% of all Order Force; it and the legal order exist in a state where you have me and I have you.

This is another manifestation of the "Order Net"!

Or rather, the system and the law themselves are extensions of the higher concept of 【Xiaduo Order】 in different directions, and at the same time, these two are the most concentrated manifestations of 【Xiaduo Order】!

……

Near dusk, there were not many people left at the foot of the Code Sculpture, and torches had already been lit in advance at the final construction point of the Code Plaza in the distance.

Xia Duo, who was slow to realize, finally stood up from the base of the Code Sculpture, looked out at the west dyed golden by the setting sun, and stretched his body long.

Actually, he didn't feel much physical fatigue; he only needed to use physical strength when he was hovering in the clouds above the Code Sculpture earlier, and later when he sat on the sculpture's base, he didn't need to consume any physical strength.

There was only the mental fatigue brought about by Spellcasting.

But as he stretched his body and looked at the sunset in the distance, Xia Duo's mood relaxed a lot, and even the mental fatigue seemed to have eased quite a bit.

"How long has it been since I cast spells so freely!"

All along, even within the Tower of Time, Xia Duo rarely cast spells until he was mentally exhausted; he usually stopped to rest for a while when he felt a little tired.

But as long as it's not excessive, doing it occasionally feels really good!

He is becoming more and more proficient in building the Order Cycle, but to make the cycle automated, it still requires a certain amount of persistent effort.

It just depends on whether the Field Granting Ceremony three days later can have some promotional effect; if it does, then such forms must be held more often!

Thinking this way, Xia Duo took a steamed bun made of Celestial Wheat from his Personal Space, and after taking a few bites, the mental fatigue truly eased a lot.

This Celestial Wheat is really a good thing!

Its efficacy is similar to Bonu Tea, not as good as the original leaves, but it is much stronger than the No. 4 that can be bought on the market; no wonder those two Pegasus love to eat it so much!

Thinking of Celestial Wheat, Xia Duo thought of the Outer Planes; he can only go there now, but cannot return, which greatly limits the possibility of him obtaining Celestial Wheat.

"Hmm, it's not that Faith Power isn't needed; having more is better. Let the bloodline awaken a few more times as soon as possible, at least enough to be able to return from the Outer Planes!"

"But if I hold ceremonies and rituals frequently, won't the Faith of the residents be overdrawn?"

At the thought of that scene of "really, there isn't a single drop left," Xia Duo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, laughter aside, this matter still needs to be done, but one must pay attention to the degree; even if Faith Power will not be exhausted, frequently disturbing the people might cause the order to become turbulent, which is not Xia Duo's original intention.

……

Returning to the Tower of Time, he asked the Tower Spirit and learned that Niya was still in the Laboratory; Xia Duo did not disturb her, but left a message through the Tower Spirit, and then returned to his room to rest.

In the following few days, Xia Duo also made building the Order Cycle his main work, and just like that, time quickly arrived three days later—

The Daxia Territory Field Granting Ceremony begins!
