Chapter 2523 The Last Church
"Let's go, there's nothing to say."
"Ms. Erda--"
As soon as Erda's order to expel the guest was issued, Soshyan felt a pull of force, and then everything in front of him flashed like light at an extremely fast speed. When he was determined, he found himself standing in front of the tea room of the Thunder Stone, and the surrounding corridors had recovered as before.
After a while of silence, he raised his head and was about to knock on the door when a faint voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Soshiyang opened the door and walked in. The confused man was still sitting on the sofa. The cup of tea belonging to Soshiyang on the tea table was still steaming.
He did not return to his seat, but just stood in front of the door, looked at the confused person, and said slowly:
"The confusing person... this is your plan, right, you... you know what the crazy Erda will say to me... You must have the ability to keep her out, but you chose to let her say that to me, and I became more and more confused about your thoughts."
The confusing person turned the teacup on his hand and said warmly:
"I said it all depends on your own decision."
Soshiyang lowered his head and smiled bitterly, slowly walked to the sofa on the other side, and sat down.
"Does existences like you all like to play with mortals?"
"I've already passed the time to play this kind of game very early."
"Huozhe, you also knew what Li did very early, right? But you never reminded me of this person before I met him..."
"But before you met him, his stories were just stories to you... and I didn't fully understand what he did until you told me this, and I said, I was not omniscient and omnipotent."
Soshiyang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I want to hear the story of this church and the story of Thunderstone. Since it appears here, it means that it must have extraordinary significance for you."
The confused man raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
"This...this is Terra, or the last church on Earth."
Soshiyang laughed dryly when he heard this.
"The last church? Didn't the church be built long ago?"
“Once...seldom."
"So what happened to this last church on Earth?"
"The emperor you mentioned unified the cradle of mankind. He was determined to launch an expedition to conquer the galaxy. It was not only to conquer the galaxy, but also to conquer people's hearts and faith. He wanted to eliminate all beliefs about the old gods and eliminate the possibility of human worshipping the destruction of the master. He first started with Terra and forbidden all religious beliefs. Before he was about to start the expedition, he heard that there was the last church and the last priest in a remote mountain...
On a stormy night, he put on his simple clothes and visited this church called Thunderstone alone. He wanted to prove that he could defeat the fragile so-called faith without force. He wanted the last priest to take the initiative to give up his old creed and embrace the new world he was about to create. This was the first battle of the expedition, but the weapon was not with swords and bullets, but reason and science. This was a battle he firmly believed in victory..."
Suoshiyang suddenly laughed, laughing loudly, almost hilariously.
Until a few minutes later, he stopped laughing, shook his head, and said something stumbled.
"...All delusions and karma are nothing more than attachments. Because of attachments, they can become obstacles. Therefore, those who are attached are because of attachments. The reason why they are attached is because of ignorance. There is no other reason other than ignorance. Therefore, all delusions and karma are summarized into ignorance. This is a passage that Master Ananda once said to me. I am not knowledgeable and have not understood. Do you understand those who are confused?"
The confused man did not answer Soshiyang, but continued his plain narrative.
"He came to the church and saw the pastor who had opposed him, tasted the wine he brewed, listened to his stories and his faith, and then he easily refuted the pastor's faith with his own debate and language. He won, and won very...freehand, his great conquest had a good beginning, but... when he was about to burn the last church, the pastor refused him. The pastor threw away the robe he draped on his body and walked into the sea of fire calmly. Originally, he had already calculated everything, and he was confident that there would be no change in his self-confidence, but at that moment, he was at a loss for the first time. He didn't know why, he didn't know what was wrong, why the person who had been conquered by him suddenly changed, he was just a blind ordinary person, and he knew nothing about it..."
"... Although there were thousands of thoughts in his heart at that time, he could not show it because his warriors were looking at him. He could only watch his 'war fruits' burned in a sea of fire... He did destroy the last church on earth, but he failed to conquer the last priest on earth, the person he thought was the most ignorant and blind. Although he never admitted it, this was the first failure of the Great Expedition. Even when he conquered one galaxy after another, and even most of the Milky Way in the future, he always remembered that in the chapel of storms, he could not conquer a... The frustrated priest, many people who rejected him, but none of them could have left the most profound impression on him. He was confused for the first time, and he doubted whether he was real or wrong for the first time."
After listening, Soshiyang was silent for a long time, and finally took a look at the tea cup in his hand and put it into his throat.
"So, you were the one who appeared at that time, right? I suddenly understood your state..."
Then he sighed.
"Thunderstone, Thunderstone... At that time, the emperor conquered the Milky Way and his opponents, but never really conquered the hearts of the people. Instead, thousands of years later, the National Church conquered the hearts of the people in his name. What an ironic thing."
The confusing person still did not express any expression on this, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"Does, I heard from Erda that the Emperor once used the Holy Grail of the Phoenix to perform divination?"
"Well, that's the case."
"Did he have no doubt at that time? After all, this is a holy object left to Aida by Lord Aida. I never thought about the prophecy that appeared inside... is guiding?"
"I thought about it, but he believed that he would not be deceived by false prophecies. He used his own methods to confirm the possibility of those prophecies. In addition,... At that time, he found a secret record written by Asuyan, which recorded many useful information, and a set of prophecy deduction techniques used in combination with the Phoenix Holy Grail, which could deduce a truly infinite future... He repeatedly verified to confirm the correctness of these information and methods, but even so, he still had a half-believing and half-doubted attitude towards the prophecies revealed by the Phoenix Holy Grail. Otherwise... there would be no such serious series of rebellions. After discussing with his most trusted friends and aides, he decided to take some preventive measures for the future of the Primrors to change the prophecies in deduction. Unfortunately, all this was not realized in the end."
"A volume of secret records?"
"It can be said that it is the most informative work in the Galaxy as I know. It is amazing and there are even many secrets about the battle between the ancient sages and heaven, as well as core technologies and massive extraordinary knowledge, such as some key means of creating the Primrose... It is precisely because of it that the person was able to start his Great Expedition Plan and the Internet Plan. Therefore, he also put aside his guard against the phoenix Ji and focused on studying the plans recorded in which the race can free the interference of the Lord of Destruction. But now, the sweetest gift is the most vicious trap. Unfortunately, he was too confident at the time. He believed that a fallen god could not do anything more. He only regarded the Lord of Destruction as his real opponent. If he followed the deduction and plan of the Emperor of Destruction, the result might be different..."
"What is that secret book called? Does it still exist?"
