Without the heroic sacrifice of the pope, perhaps the fate of the entire civilization of Holleta would have been completely different.
Although the giant captured by Hao Ren belonged to the "rational faction", he still held the idea of destroying the Holleta civilization before he was stopped. It can be said that the guardian was in an extremely dangerous swinging state at that time , Destroy or let go of this planet is in his mind. And the Pope's sacrifice was a push at this critical point, so that the guardians could truly give up the meaningless liquidation and revenge. Speaking of such an old man who truly shouldered the righteousness, Hao Ren respected him from the bottom of his heart.
There is not much decoration in the plain dark room, only the religious utensils of the Hui Yao sect and a few simple daily utensils can be seen everywhere. A simple wooden table full of manuscripts and files is placed against the wall on one side of the room, and in the center of the room is the distinctive black and red abstract icon painting. There is nothing long in the middle. Archbishop Auburn was the last person to visit this room before the pope was martyred. At the same time, as the acting pope appointed by the church to take power in an emergency after the pope died unexpectedly, he also came here for the first time to sort out the relics of the pope. .
"The pope should have understood the guidance of the goddess from the icon painting," Bishop Auburn pointed to the abstract oil painting in the center of the room, "the goddess warned us that no matter what happened, we should not stop thinking, because everything in the world There are reasons for its occurrence and evolution.”
Then he picked up a piece of parchment from the table next to him: "This is the note left by the Pope before he was martyred. No one else has read it yet. It's for you."
Hao Ren subconsciously took the parchment, and found that the handwriting on the paper was very new, and the smell of the ink hadn't dissipated. He asked curiously, "Don't show it to the bishops, but show it to us outsiders first?"
"The Pope left me a special message." Bishop Auburn spread his hands, showing the note he found when he came here to sort out the relics. "Under the guidance of the goddess. He has penetrated everything. He mentioned that if a foreigner Mention of a god-killing plot. Then I will give you his manuscript, for the grace of the goddess has been manifested in you. Look at the manuscript, it is written for you."
Hao Ren was about to read the manuscript, and immediately felt a shock in his heart when he heard the words of the Archbishop of Auburn. He never expected that the Pope would leave these things before his martyrdom! Could it be that the old man had a premonition in the last ten minutes of his life that the foreigner would learn the truth from the guardian ten thousand years ago? Or... Is there really a goddess with great powers who told him all this and guided him to keep these things? !
Whatever the truth, he realized that the manuscript was extraordinary. An inexplicable sense of urgency urged him to read on:
"Gentiles, by the time you read this letter, I should have been called by God. I regret that I have to tell you something in this way, but time is running out and I have no other choice.
"I saw your arrival in the vision descended by the goddess, Hao Ren, the leader of the aliens. I cannot describe the vision of that vision, because it is beyond the comprehension of mortals. I see light. Flames, stars, you stand In this. And the blessings of the Goddess surround you. This should be an omen, and the Goddess is conveying her will in this way. You are the chosen one, and you and your friends must be closely related to the Goddess. Although time has not allowed me to understand the full content of this omen, I believe in my judgment—and if my judgment is correct, you will also know a truth.
"10,000 years ago, our ancestors committed a terrible crime, which is too evil to be written..."
What is written in the back is exactly the incident of killing gods 10,000 years ago. Somehow, the pope "perceived" this truth out of thin air, even though it was information obtained through comprehension. There were many ambiguities and contradictions in his description, but Hao Ren could still see that what the Pope said and what the giant said were exactly the same thing.
He already knew this part of the information. So after a rough scan, he quickly turned to the end, and the content of the last few paragraphs made him frown:
"... The sins of the past are unforgivable, but just as night and day are inseparable, there is hope in disaster. I saw in the vision that when the conspiracy enveloped the starry sky, the power of the goddess split and she became A form that mortals cannot understand sleeps deep in this universe. She gave me a sign and made me understand the indestructibility of gods. The atrocities of Nizi can only make the Lord sleep temporarily, but they are far from capable of truly killing a person God.
"For thousands of years, the prayers of Hui Yao believers to the goddess have never failed. We can always feel that a great will still protects everything in the world. This is the power of the goddess. Therefore, we should firmly believe that the goddess has not really fallen. She The remnants of it must still be hidden somewhere.
The miracle left by the goddess still walks on the earth, and the glory of God will return to this world one day.
"Foreigners, I am inspired by the omen that the goddess sent down, but I know very well that our world—our civilization cannot respond to the expectations of the goddess. But I see in you the way to realize this omen. Perhaps the depths of the starry sky are The answer to everything, in the illusion given by the goddess, you stand in the light of the starry sky, so I beg you, please accept my last request: go find her and wake up our mother.
"If you can really see this letter, it must be the guidance of the gods."
Hao Ren read through the content of the message with a serious face, and was grabbed by Lily just after reading it: "Hey, let me see, let me see!"
Lily, Nangong Wuyue, and the three people who were just joining in the fun huddled together on the table and looked, and saw three tails of different shapes dangling like dogtail grass, and Vivian was poking around. Looking on with his head on the sidelines, he poked Lily's back with his nails for a long time: "What do you see?"
"It's nothing." Lily flicked her tail. "What the Pope said is no different from what we guessed before. He was talking about the reverberation left after the death of the goddess."
"No, if it was just referring to the reverberation, he wouldn't be so serious about leaving a message," Izaks said in a muffled voice with his arms folded. Taking advantage of his height, he didn't even need to poke his head over to read the contents of the letter. It's over, "According to the content of the message, the pope obviously had a breakthrough connection with the power of the goddess during meditation. I'm afraid he really came into contact with something essential... probably the goddess in a sleeping state."
"You said the goddess is really alive?" Lily's eyes widened. "It's not a reverberation, but really...alive?!"
Vivienne squinted at Husky, and pointed to the original words on the parchment: "Look at your dog eyes, the Pope has clearly said, 'The goddess sleeps in the depths of the universe in a form that mortals cannot understand', since Being able to use the word sleeping shows that he really witnessed the state of the goddess with his own eyes. You must know that the original teachings of the Hui Yao Sect never mentioned that the goddess is in a bad condition."
Lily didn't listen to the second part of Vivian's words at all, she just stared hard there: "I'm staring!"
Everyone: "..."
"Why does this husky always think differently from others..." Hao Ren covered his forehead and let out a long sigh, then put the parchment away properly, "In short, this matter must be taken seriously, regardless of whether the Pope meant it or not. That way, we should all continue to track down the whereabouts of the goddess."
Hao Ren's goal at the beginning was to track down the whereabouts of the Goddess of Creation, but after knowing that the god had fallen ten thousand years ago, he almost gave up on this idea. However, seeing the Pope's message, the hope in his heart suddenly Ignited again: True God is Immortal!
He was taken aback by the atrocities of the "Ni Zi" before, and he really thought that the goddess had been wiped out, leaving only a trace of remnant soul, but now he calmed down and thought about it before realizing all kinds of doubts: According to the giant, the goddess was killed In fact, there were no witnesses at the moment of death in the real sense, because the goddess and the entire founding star were banished to an abnormal space called "Dark Realm" in a big bang, and the guardians were either killed or killed. Those who were involved in the explosion failed to survive, or could only watch from a distance, and no one really saw the death of the goddess.
That means the goddess might really be alive!
"It's a pity that the Pope is dead," Nangong Wudi sighed, "otherwise you must ask him what he saw in meditation. I'm sure he saw more than that, but there are many things that cannot be passed. Language and writing speak for themselves.”
"Now I sincerely hope that all the teachings of the Glorious Sect are true," Yizaks also sighed, "then the pope's soul can really return to the goddess, which is also a comfort to him. That is a Respectable human beings who risk their lives for what they believe in reminds me of my old friend..."
The Archbishop of Auburn made a religious gesture on his chest: "The soul under the pope's crown will inevitably return to the embrace of the goddess. Please don't doubt this."
"Whether you suspect it or not," Hao Ren smiled and nodded to the archbishop. "I agree to this matter. We will continue to investigate until we find your goddess and wake her up—if she is really just sleeping."
Lily blinked her eyes and looked over: "Because of the guidance of the gods?"
Hao Ren curled his lips: "Because of the guidelines in the work manual..."
(I have to go out to do errands this afternoon, so I guess there will only be one update=.=) (to be continued~^~)
