In front of the resplendent Aurora Cathedral of Light, there has been no such holy religious trial for a long time.
The white marble square is crowded with people, and every breath seems to be under great pressure. The believers are pushing, wanting to see the supreme glory of the bright red priest.
""The Grand Canon of Light" says that the God of Creation of Light created the kingdom of heaven, and human beings should live in the kingdom of heaven without any worries, but because of desire, they open the magic box of original sin and the world of stars, and thus fall into the magic box, which can only be completed through selfless dedication. Only by redeeming ourselves can we return to the kingdom of heaven.”
The archbishop in red showed compassion, and looked at Bai Nivens on the stake.
It is pity for the ignorant, like looking at an ignorant child.
"Duke Bennivens, your "Heliocentric Theory" believes that the sun is the center of the universe, the star screen world is a huge spherical celestial body, and there are countless celestial bodies similar to the star screen world revolving around the sun, which violates the "Bright Festival" , in view of your hereditary duke and noble status, now you can complete the final self-salvation by revising the book’s heresy concepts involving blasphemy against the God of Light.”
On the cross, Bai Nivens's heart was extremely peaceful at this moment.
He looked at the jury of the religious court trial, at the bright pope overlooking himself from above, at the endless holy light on the top of the Aurora Cathedral of Light, and at the scholars of the various colleges hidden in the crowd.
He can make a compromise and continue his duke title on the condition that he amends the natural research in the book that violates the "Great Code of Light", or he can make an attempt to make the scholars hidden in the crowd fight for him.
But when he saw the angry eyes of endless believers on the square, they were looking at the tolerance of heretics, and he knew his choice.
Bennivens knew that if he resisted, "Heliocentric Theory" would be a heresy in their hearts forever, and the time for ignorant beliefs to rule human thought would be extended, and it would be more difficult for truth to break through the thick night and bring wisdom, rationality, and civilization. brilliant.
Bai Nivens turned his head slowly, and looked at the twelve red-clothed patriarchs on the high platform.
In their eyes, Bai Nivens seemed to see pity for himself, and the "Heliocentric Theory" he insisted on all his life, in their eyes, was just the whims of ignorant people.
There must be a martyr in this world who made a rational cry and died for upholding the truth!
"Cosmic starry sky, there is no bright future!"
Bai Nivens roared, looking at the people in the square who were overwhelmed with anger and hatred because of his words.
"Damn betrayer, he is still insisting on his heretical academics, burn him to death!"
"May the Lord have mercy on this lost lamb..."
"It's ridiculous, he said that the star screen world is a huge sphere? If that's the case, why didn't we fall, hahahaha!"
"He actually said that there is no heaven, and I will never allow him to tarnish the sanctity of the great creator of light, dirty and stupid guy, all existences that blaspheme the god of light are heresies and will be burned to death!"
Some people picked up stones and threw them at the stake to vent their anger.
The sporadic scholars were so insignificant in the crowd, they looked at the endless believers of light around them, and looked at the pioneers who were suffering the anger of the believers, and shed tears of unwillingness.
However, Bai Nivens just endured everything calmly, looked at the sky shrouded in holy light, and let out a heart-warming roar.
"The law of truth can never be extinguished by violence, and the law of order among the celestial bodies in the universe, even the so-called Creator of the God of Light, can never be changed!"
The twelve major leaders in red clothes showed signs of disappointment.
This poor ignorant creature is no longer worth saving, and his soul will fall into hell and suffer forever.
However!
at this time!
Accompanied by the agitation of the holy light at the top of the Aurora Church, it was the wrath of the Creator of Light. Amidst the tears and joy of many believers chanting "miracle", the pope, who was originally calm and calm, stood up in amazement, and a majestic wave descended from the sky. Magnificent divine power drowned Bai Nivens on the stake.
Bai Nivens looked up at the majestic power that did not belong to the world, smiled calmly, and faced death.
"You will also be angry, and you will also be afraid. After all, you are just a higher-level creature, just a living body that claims to be a god of light, not an omnipotent creator."
The blazing bright divine fire completely submerged Bai Niwensi.
Countless believers prostrated and knelt down, tears filled their eyes because they could witness the miracle of light in their lifetime, and vowed to eradicate every heresy, steadfast in light and justice, until death.
Even the scholars among the believers can only succumb to the divine right and kneel unwillingly.
At this moment, imperial power succumbed to divine power, and natural science lost to light theology.
However.
Among the crowd, some rational people who were loyal believers of the God of Light, when they witnessed the divine power of light coming into the world, looked at Bai Niwens who was burned by the divine power of light and looked at death as home for insisting on the truth. The bright belief he insisted on was shaken a little.
Great God of Light, why can't he show mercy and forgive this fool
…
Hundreds of years later.
Grand Duchy, Agate Lake town.
"I know how you feel."
The pastor's eyes showed day-to-day kindness, and his white and delicate right hand patted the boy's shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"Although you have already possessed the power of prayer and proved your devout belief in the Lord, Mr. Bob volunteered a hundred gold coins in order to support the church's expedition against heresy and spread light. He has already obtained the missionary quota in advance through his selfless dedication. You'll just have to wait until next year."
Forty years have passed since the last Crusade of Light to the Land of Night. It is said that the new pope, who is about to take office, can't wait to wash away the shame of the failure of the previous expedition.
Lei Luo raised his head and looked at the priest full of unwillingness.
"Last year's quota was taken away by Lars' arbiter uncle, you said the same thing!"
The pastor's eyes were still so pitiful.
"One hundred gold coins is enough for the church to cultivate several outstanding knights of light, and maybe another arbiter will be born. You give up your own quota, which is also a kind of self-sacrifice and dedication, and you have completed a self-salvation."
"But!"
Although Lei Luo looked thin and frail, he was a seventeen-year-old vigorous boy, full of unwillingness.
"They don't have the power to pray, and they can't proclaim the greatness of the Lord! And I, my mother, because of her devout belief in the Lord, chose to sacrifice herself when she had a difficult childbirth seventeen years ago. The first day I was born, I carried original sin, I am trying to atone for myself! My father is the most devout believer in the town, and his biggest wish is that I can become a missionary, go to remote and barren lands, and proclaim the greatness of the Lord. Now he is seriously ill in bed, and I Only by becoming a clergyman can one ask for the mercy of the God of Light..."
"enough!"
The pastor said angrily: "Your eyes are full of anger and jealousy, and you don't understand the true meaning of self-sacrifice and salvation! You only think about your own small family, and you don't think about the thousands of believers who are persecuted by heresy. When do you understand the Lord’s selfless dedication, come here again!”
After speaking, the pastor walked towards the bright and holy church, ignoring Lei Luo who was pleading sadly under the steps.
