Chapter 338 The Pope

Climbing up a thousand steps, the tall temple stands in front of you.

The temple, whose entire body is made of white jade, exudes a holy and soft light.

Jiang Ge recognized that it was clearly the effect caused by the gathering of a large number of radiant crystals.

According to his estimate, more than 90% of the radiant crystals in this holy city have been used in this temple.

In front of the temple, Jiang Ge also met the Pope of the Glorious Church that Elizabeth mentioned.

It was a tall middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a robe with white and gold patterns on his body, a gold crown inlaid with sparkling crystals on his head, and holding the top of a gold scepter in his hand. Just standing there made people feel

An incomparable feeling of majesty.

But when Jiang Ge focused his eyes on his face, he found that the outline of his face was rough but unexpectedly soft, making people feel like they wanted to get close to him.

This pope seemed a little different from what he had thought before.

Jiang Ge thought silently.

From the perspective of his void sky eye, more than 80% of the pope's body showed actinic phenomena, almost becoming one with the temple.

It is self-evident what will happen if this temple is destroyed.

Because you saw me?

In the sixth painting, a huge city was built around the temple, and in the temple another person was kneeling on the ground, with his head lowered, wearing a robe very similar to the style of the Pope today, speaking with extremely humility.

The posture, under a ball of holy light, took the scepter...

"It's not difficult to see," Jiang Ge paused and said softly, "this temple will not be able to support it."

Of course, if there is a riot, they will definitely not survive for long.

In the third painting, the last sparks of the ancient sun's wreckage are extinguished, and light separates from the sun's wreckage. At the same time, darkness is born, and endless darkness turns into a tide, pouring out from the sun's wreckage and spreading in all directions.

.

"But as time went by, the darkness suppressed under the Holy City grew stronger without our knowledge. Until the sixty-seventh Pope, the darkness broke out in a riot. From that time on, this darkness

A temple seal built by the ancient ancestors at the cost of countless blood has been broken..."

Thinking back to the scene he saw before where the sun fell, everything was shrouded in darkness.

"The sixty-seventh Pope summoned the most talented formation masters among the glorious people to try to repair the seal... but they all failed..."

Jiang Ge suddenly realized that what was depicted in this mural was the process of building the temple and the holy city.

"After everyone discussed it, we came to the conclusion that simple repairs can no longer meet the needs of the seal. There must be a living person as the core of the seal to control the seal so that the seal can continue..."

It's just relatively mild.

In the fourth painting, the surviving aliens living on the earth knelt on the ground, prayed to a dazzling light, and were then given something.

But through the examples in front of us, it is not difficult to see that this so-called use of living people to become the core of the seal is actually a kind of sacrifice.

Richard said before that the Pope could not leave this temple, which was indeed a lie.

Although this glorious pope omitted many things, he also embellished them to some extent.

His eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitudes and exhaustion, as well as inexplicable joy.

Suppressed below the temple is the passage leading to the remains of the sun.

In the first painting, the sun, which symbolizes supreme brightness, falls into the ocean.

"Yes, this temple can't hold on any longer," the glorious pope said with a strong sense of exhaustion in his tone, and then he smiled and said to Jiang Ge, "Just follow me."

"Is this the price of becoming the Pope?" Jiang Ge asked softly as he followed the slowly advancing Pope.

Jiang Ge nodded while listening to the Pope's narration.

In the fifth painting, countless corpses are piled up. The ancient alien ancestors used the corpses of their own people to advance bit by bit to the center of darkness, suppressed them, and built a temple made of corpses.

The Pope smiled and turned around to look at the temple side by side with Jiang Ge, "You can see it."

If this temple is a suppressive object that blocks the passage to the remains of the sun, then this pope is the core of this temple.

"So, after that, the pope's responsibilities included the responsibility of maintaining the seal."

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

The six murals passed through his eyes one by one.

To his surprise, these murals were not praising the greatness and holiness of the Lord of Glory, but seemed to depict the scene when the second mountain and sea had just been opened up.

"I have seen His Majesty the Pope," Jiang Ge bowed slightly sideways.

Without his presence, this temple would not be able to truly operate.

"His Majesty the Pope seems pleased with my arrival?"

Jiang Ge thought to himself that he thought this alien pope would reject him.

Elizabeth and Richard followed closely behind.

As the core of the Pope, they can still preserve their own existence. If the darkness born from the sun's debris does not cause riots, they may still be able to live to the end of their lives.

A large number of murals are painted on both sides of the road entering the temple.

With Jiang Ge's eyesight, he quickly scanned the contents of the mural.

"Because of this temple?" Jiang Ge walked to the Pope and looked at the temple.

"It's not a price, but a responsibility," the glorious pope shook his head and said with a smile, "We, the glorious people, were saved because of the glory, so we worship our Lord. The pope is the link between our Lord and the glorious people, and implements our

Let the Lord’s will lead the tribe to survive on this glorious land..."

In the second painting, a loving mother holding a cradle gave birth to the earth on the remains of the sun. The place where the sun fell became the center of the earth. At the same time, all things were born, and there were ragged creatures walking on the earth. That was

The ancestors of alien races.

Jiang Ge was a little confused, but he didn't refuse and followed him.

Jiang Ge glanced around the temple from the outside, and finally settled on the Pope.

"Our saint, you have finally arrived," the pope responded with a chuckle.

"Saints are manifestations of the glorious will, carrying the oracle, and I am naturally delighted." The pope replied.

After all, it is integrated with the seal and becomes the core, but it consumes the soul all the time. If the power is mobilized again, the loss will be even greater.

Jiang Ge didn't ask why he didn't ask the Lord of Glory to take action.

He can think of it, how can others not think of it?

That must be a prayer, even thousands of prayers, but no answer.

For these beings, responsiveness has never existed.
