Chapter 490 Azeroth, Teyvat, Tyria's colorful different time and space.
"Chester, my shepherd."
"Now do what you should do."
"Remember, no matter what ups and downs you encounter, I will always be watching you and protecting you."
Garen said, and at the same time, his body dissipated like light and shadow, leaving only the lingering sound, ethereal and sacred.
Chester did not stand up, but kept his kneeling posture. It was not until seven days and seven nights later that he slowly stood up, brushed off the wrinkles of his clothes, and his body was glowing with a silver sacred light. He walked out of the dense forest step by step, heading towards the path full of lost places.
Lamb's wide world.
At the same time, the dragons of eternity and time from different time and space flew across the continent, promoting shepherds one after another.
A simple and honest boy from the countryside.
A young lord who was exiled to a remote area.
A down-and-out noble living on the streets.
Galen selected a total of twelve apostles to walk the continent as his shepherds, performing miracles and spreading the faith for him.
While selecting, brainwashing, and promoting apostles, Garen was also searching for information about this world, mainly about good and evil gods, as well as thaumaturgic gems.
Good gods and evil gods. In the main timeline, these are the two camps of the gods.
Here, there are two opposing gods.
"The Holy Sect of Good and Evil is the mainstream of faith in this world and is the biggest obstacle to me spreading my faith."
"However, the time flow rate in this world is more than five hundred times that of the main timeline. You can play with the local Holy See."
"As for the magic gems, they are strictly controlled by the Eternal Empire and are responsible for the production, manufacture, and sale. They are said to be born from an ancient evil creature."
In the midst of the passing wind and floating clouds, the giant dragon was thinking and considering his next plan.
After the twelve apostles were selected, Galen has been silently following their progress in spreading the faith.
Each apostle possesses legendary level strength, and based on the level of piety in their faith, Garen will increase the power given to them as appropriate.
Because the influence of these powerful men walking on the mainland is not small, the Holy See of Time has begun to take shape. Stories about the Holy See of Time are spread in the streets and alleys, and corresponding doctrines, temples, and clergy have gradually been developed.
While paying attention to the progress of the shepherds, Garen wandered around this time and space, exploring the mountains and rivers while exploring the secrets of this world.
In this way, time passed quietly.
The size of the Holy See of Time is getting bigger and bigger, and some conflicts and frictions have begun to arise with the Holy Sect of Good and Evil.
The Holy Sect of Good and Evil felt the threat from the Holy See of Time, and directly declared the Holy See of Time to be a cult organization, and arranged the Arbitration Knights to search and suppress all members of the Holy See of Time. Since the Holy Sect of Good and Evil is the state religion of the Eternal Empire, in good
Under the attack of the Evil Saint Sect, the Holy See of Time suffered a big blow for a while.
However, the power level of this world is not high.
Facing the Holy See of Time with twelve legendary pastors, the actions of the Holy Sect of Good and Evil were not always smooth sailing.
In addition, due to the large-scale actions of the Holy Sect of Good and Evil, many people were curious about the Holy See of Time. After understanding it, a considerable number of them were attracted by the knowledge and power system possessed by the Holy See of Time that was completely different from this world.
I couldn't help but join the Church of Time.
At the same time, the Holy Sect of Good and Evil is paying more and more attention to the Holy See of Time, and the Pope is preparing to personally kill the twelve apostles of the Holy See of Time.
With the idea of observing and gaining more faith, Garen decided to wait until the critical moment when his apostle could not hold on any longer before taking action.
But before the Pope of the Holy Sect of Good and Evil actually took action, an interesting thing happened.
Eternal Empire, Imperial Capital Belt.
Ten years later, at the age of twenty-five, Chester had become handsome, sunny and mature, as if he had blended into the crowd on the street. He did not exude a strange aura or attract any attention, just like the most ordinary person.
of a pedestrian.
Chester stared ahead.
Before the Imperial Court.
In front of countless gathered people of the empire, a herald read an edict from Emperor Izaro, the Emperor of the Eternal Empire.
"I declare that in order to select the next king of the Eternal Empire, I will follow the ancient emperor's prophecy and start the emperor's trial."
"All noble children of the Eternal Empire are eligible to participate in the Emperor's Trial."
"The first person to complete all the emperor's trials will become the next king of the eternal empire in accordance with the laws of the ancient emperor."
As soon as the order came out, the surroundings became deathly quiet and you could hear a needle drop.
After people came to their senses, the entire imperial capital was in an uproar.
The news spread quickly, and all the people in the Eternal Empire knew about this royal edict concerning the next emperor. The nobles were excited and rushed out to find the six locations of the emperor's trials.
Especially some powerful nobles were simply ecstatic.
Because they already have some secret information about the Imperial Trial, and have various resources, and can mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources, they have a high probability of passing the Imperial Trial and becoming the next King of the Empire.
Garen saw this in his eyes.
Because he has stayed in this time and space for ten years, Garen already has a relatively deep understanding of the Eternal Empire.
He knew why the king of the Eternal Empire chose his successor from among the nobles.
Because, this Emperor Izaro never had any heirs in his life.
No matter powerful thaumaturgy or various folk remedies, they can't solve Emperor Izaro's fertility problem. He is already sixty-two years old this year, but he still has no heirs and no successor who can inherit the eternal empire.
Therefore, the forces of various small countries that had been suppressed and exploited by the Eternal Empire began to make moves, and the imperial royal family also intrigued over the matter of the successor, making the rule of the Eternal Empire somewhat unstable.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Izaro recalled the prophecy left by the first emperor of the Eternal Empire.
The ancient emperor's prophecy: When the emperor's bloodline is in danger of being cut off, the contemporary emperor will follow my prophecy, start the emperor's trial, and select the destined king from the imperial nobles. This can ensure that the eternal empire will never fall.
As for the Imperial Trial, it is a secret realm known only to the imperial royal family. If you want to pass the Imperial Trial, you must first find it.
"The six emperor trial points seem to be the six secret realms I have been to."
After learning the specific news, Garen thought to himself.
While playing in this world, he discovered interesting secret realms, which were full of dangerous traps and monsters. Even ordinary legends might not be able to get out of them, but to Garen they were just interesting gadgets.
There are six such secret realms in total.
After Garen found one of them by chance, out of curiosity, he also found the other five and cleared all levels, knowing all the traps inside.
"It turns out it's called the Emperor's Trial."
Garen confirmed that the six secret realms he had cleared were the Emperor's Trials.
"In this case, things will become interesting."
That night.
The twelve pastors of the Dragon of Eternity and Time listened to the teachings of their divine masters while praying as usual.
The locations of the six imperial trials, as well as the distribution of various mechanisms and strategies within the imperial trials, were all poured into the minds of these shepherds.
Several shepherds who were qualified to participate in the Emperor's Trial left the field one after another and headed straight to the location of the Emperor's Trial with clear goals.
Because of the strategies given by Garen, and the extremely difficult imperial trials for legendary creatures, there was no danger at all in front of Garen's herdsmen, and they were able to pass through all the obstacles with overwhelming force.
While many nobles were still happy that they had finally found the first imperial trial, they heard a piece of news that caught them off guard.
A young nobleman named Chester collected six tokens of passing the Imperial Trial in just one month.
Before that, Chester was still an unknown little nobleman, and few people had heard of his name.
Pastors will hide their true identities when traveling around to spread their faith.
"A small nobleman from a remote city has obtained the right to inherit the Eternal Empire."
"Tsk, I'm afraid the great nobles of this empire are going crazy."
While opening up the Godhead Ranch and spreading his faith, Garen is also happy to enjoy all kinds of interesting events and reactions.
"In addition, this ancient emperor's prediction seems to be correct."
"Chester becomes the emperor as my shepherd, and the eternal empire will naturally belong to me. With my protection, if nothing unexpected happens, this empire will be eternal."
Garen thought silently.
Next, before Chester entered the imperial capital and formally succeeded him as emperor, assassinations against Chester continued in waves, coming from all sides.
Unfortunately, no matter how smart the assassin was, he could not have imagined that the true identity of this little nobleman was actually one of the twelve heretical pastors wanted by the Holy Sect of Good and Evil. Therefore, all assassination operations were interrupted due to various emergencies.
Failed.
The great nobles united and hoped that Emperor Izaro would withdraw the decree.
However, due to Chester's lucky performance like a destined son, Emperor Izaro's determination was strengthened.
He defied all opinions, passed the throne of emperor to Chester, and retired himself.
Since then, the new emperor of the Eternal Empire, Emperor Chester, was born.
The Eternal Empire is the hegemony of this world. In terms of political system and people's livelihood, it is actually quite perfect. There is nothing to change. The emperor only needs to defend the foundation, which is enough to keep the Eternal Empire glorious.
Many people think that Chester became an emperor through luck.
No one thought that Emperor Chester would do anything great.
But people found out how wrong they were.
Within a few days of taking the throne, Emperor Chester began to take drastic measures to reform the empire's religious theocracy, block the influence of the Holy Sect of Good and Evil in the empire, and reduce their status.
The Holy Sects competed with each other.
Many nobles looked at him with suspicion, believing that Chester was ambitious and wanted to use imperial power to crush the divine power, and that the Holy See of Time was just a pawn being pushed out.
Before that, the papal power of the Holy Sect of Good and Evil was no weaker than that of the king of the Eternal Empire.
In this world, divine power and royal power compete with each other.
Faced with the provocation of the young emperor Chester, the Holy Sect of Good and Evil fought back fiercely.
"Emperor Chester is actually one of the twelve pastors of the Holy See of Time."
"He becomes the king of the Eternal Empire and will bring the Eternal Empire into a state of eternal disaster."
"The Holy Sect does not recognize the identity of this heretic king."
Together with many large nobles who were dissatisfied with Chester's succession to the throne of the emperor, as well as some forces from small countries, the Holy Sect of Good and Evil armed its believers and people, brazenly launched a rebellion, and attacked the imperial capital at night to kill Emperor Chester and establish a new empire.
king.
In a night filled with blood and smoke.
The Empire's powerful thaumaturges are tightly contained.
The pope's glorious figure took the opportunity to pass through the chaotic royal court of the imperial capital, and went deep into the palace. Under the alert eyes of the royal guards, he stopped less than a hundred meters away from Emperor Chester.
Chester looked at the Pope.
Pope Fore, the leader of the Holy Sect of Good and Evil, is a quite powerful thaumaturgy.
His face is old, but he is full of energy and breathes evenly. He is wearing a robe of black and white intertwined. Tiny magic gems are like stars inlaid throughout the robe, and the light they emit is connected together, one after another, faintly.
, rippling and forming a rather beautiful scene.
"Chester, the shepherd of the Church of Time."
"Do you think that by becoming an emperor, you can shake the divine power of our Holy Sect of Good and Evil?"
"Ignorant heresy."
The Pope said calmly.
Stretching out his palm, he aimed at Chester from a distance.
The light from more than forty thaumaturgic gems became dazzling and connected together.
A magic circle formed out of thin air on the soles of Chester's feet.
In an instant, a thunderstorm with destructive power emerged, drowning Chester's body and dyeing the palace white.
"Your death is just the beginning. I will eradicate the other heretical pastors one by one, leaving no one behind."
The Pope said calmly, without looking at the results of the thaumaturgy, he turned around and walked away.
However, before he even stepped out of the palace.
A palpitating aura suddenly emerged, causing the Pope's complexion to change slightly and he turned his head in surprise.
the other side.
Chester, who was supposed to have no bones left, was unscathed at this time.
Not only that, although his appearance did not change, his demeanor and temperament were completely different.
'Chester''s pupils were the color of platinum, and time seemed to be confused on his body. The past, present and future merged into one, giving him an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression, as if a god had descended, with majestic power.
.
Facing this kind of "Chester", the Pope felt in his heart that he wanted to worship him.
"You are not Chester, who are you?"
The Pope quickly reacted, and all the thaumaturgic gems all over his body burst out with bright light, and he was ready.
Gallon, who was using Chester's body, glanced at the magic gem on the Pope's body, and said slowly: "Chester is my shepherd, shepherding faith for me. Who do you think I am?"
The pope's pupils suddenly narrowed.
"Are you the god believed in by the Time and Space Holy See?"
"Dragon of eternity and time, there are only good gods and evil gods, pretending to be gods and ghosts!"
With a thought, all the thaumaturgy gems were connected at the same time, and the cumulative effects of each spell were combined to form the most powerful thaumaturgy of the Pope.
But at this time.
Click!
His robes, staff, crown, necklace, and boots were all inlaid with magical gems, and they were all shattered at the same time, as if they had been cut by something invisible.
"ah?"
The naked Pope didn't know why, and was disheveled in the wind, confused and at a loss.
When Garen stretched out his hand, the thaumaturgy gems were pulled and gathered in front of Garen.
Some of them are like round glass, some are like hearts, and some are like solid flames. Each of them is unique in appearance. In Garen's eyes, they carry the rules of this world.
"I'm curious. After losing the gem, can you use thaumaturgy again?"
Garen played with a red thaumaturgy gem and said lightly.
Each of these gems represents an independent spell. The thaumaturge can use spirit and magic to form a connection with the gems, and perform various thaumaturgy through the combination of different gems. The thaumaturge becomes stronger step by step, and the gems
The quality of the product will also be improved step by step, and the two will complement each other.
In Galen's observation, if the gem is lost, the thaumaturge will lose all his abilities.
However, there are very few thaumaturges who have reached the level of demigods like the Pope. Garen has never encountered one before, and it is not clear how he would react after losing the gem.
On the other side, the pope's pupils reflected Gallon's face, his eyes filled with fear.
He struggled to call for his gem.
Garen felt the resistance coming from the Thaumaturgy Stone, but he suppressed it easily.
The Pope, who lost the gem, showed no reaction.
Garen shook his head slightly and thought: "It seems that even the most powerful thaumaturge will become an ordinary person after losing the gem."
Relying on the thaumaturgy gem, even the lowest level thaumaturgy casts spells without the need for preparations such as chanting, and the effect is amazing. However, due to excessive reliance, it is almost equivalent to one's own life. Once the gem is lost, the thaumaturgy has nothing.
The magic power and powerful spirit cannot be exerted.
This spellcasting system is too extreme, and its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.
"Lost lamb, accept my guidance, and I will give you real power of your own."
Facing the overwhelmed Pope, Gallon's voice became peaceful and said.
At the same time, the entire world in the Pope's eyes fell into a strange state of stillness. The flames of war outside the palace, the solid night wind, the smoke and night wind frozen in the mid-air, and the warriors and thaumaturges who were like sculptures.
"There is obviously no magical gem. This, this is the power of the gods."
The Pope was shocked.
Looking at Galen again, the Pope's faith was shaken.
He prayed every day, eager to listen to the holy voice of the gods, but he never received any answer.
The so-called good gods and evil gods seem to be just mythical legends.
In fact, a long time ago, the Pope had no true faith. The reason why he attacked the Holy See of Time and even started a rebellion was simply to protect his own rights and status. In the absence of gods, the divine power belongs to the Pope.
"Are you really a god?"
The Pope asked, his body trembling.
Gallon smiled and said: "You have seen me with your own eyes, why don't you use your own eyes and heart to see carefully?"
Hearing this, the Pope looked a little confused and looked up at Gallon who was standing at the top of the steps.
at the same time.
The entire world in the Pope's eyes is undergoing drastic changes.
The 'Chester' in his field of vision was filled with dazzling silver light and brilliant power, shattering the dome of the palace, leaping towards the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a figure that covered the sky and the sun, with its wings covering the night, making it difficult to
Get a glimpse of the giant god.
Under the shadow of the giant god, the Pope staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.
When he came to his senses, 'Chester' was still in human form, the palace was intact, and the figure of the giant god no longer existed.
But the scene just now has been imprinted on the Pope's mind, and he can't get rid of it.
"I've been confused for too long. I see God without knowing it."
"O God, please forgive me for my mistakes and allow me to fall into your arms."
The two gods of good and evil have never appeared before, and the gods are showing their power right before their eyes.
The Pope chose the latter.
"Lost lamb, you have embarked on the right path. I forgive your previous disrespect and grant divine grace for your faith."
Gallon smiled, flashed his body in front of the Pope, and touched his forehead with one hand. The Pope seemed to be blessed, and his face was pious and excited.
This pope had extraordinary influence and was transformed by Gallon into his own pastor.
There were no accidents during the process, it was very smooth.
At the same time, Garon himself, who was hovering in the airspace here and hiding his figure, had a puzzled expression on his face.
"Is it true that there are no gods in this time and space, and the gods of good and evil are just legends?"
"Otherwise, I have already turned the Pope into my own believer, so how could I still resist reacting?"
Garen shook his head and continued to retreat behind the scenes.
With the joining of the Pope, the leader of the organized rebellion, the night attack naturally ended.
One by one, the participating nobles were hanged, and some small countries were wiped out.
The Holy Sect of Good and Evil gradually changed its tune due to the pope becoming the pastor of the Time and Space Holy See, coupled with the policies of the imperial king Chester, and became the Time and Space Holy See.
However, even if the Pope has rebelled, there are still some people who have unswerving faith in the twin gods of good and evil. They have left the degenerated Holy Sect of Good and Evil and secretly opposed the Holy See of Time and Space. What is interesting is that these people have the strongest will to resist.
, mostly young people.
When it comes to faith, the Holy See of Time and Space showed no mercy.
Those who can be converted into believers will be converted; those who cannot be converted into heretics will be put on the stake and burned to death.
As time went by, the Holy See of Time and Space, with the cooperation of the Pope and the Emperor, soon became the new state religion, and it was far larger than the previous Holy Sect of Good and Evil, because the previous Eternal Empire did not support good and evil.
The Holy Sect was developing and growing, but they just didn't interfere.
In addition, Garon himself also performs miracles from time to time to expand his influence.
As a result, in the thirtieth year of this time and space, temples belonging to Garon could be seen everywhere, the number of believers in the Holy See of Time and Space increased sharply, and Garon began to feel an obvious gathering of faith.
As for Garon himself, he was mainly located in a temporary dragon nest in the Faou Mountains during this period, living in seclusion.
This mountain range is also the main source of thaumaturgic gems.
With the accumulation of time and years, the rocks and soil here will mutate, and then turn into a continuous output of thaumaturgy gems, which serve as the source of power for thaumaturgy masters.
Garen spent a lot of time researching thaumaturgic gems.
He discovered that this kind of gem is actually the embodiment of rules, which allows the lowest level of thaumaturgy to perform thaumaturgy in the simplest way. It is like building blocks. If there are enough and suitable gems, it can even build a small world.
.
"A brand new time and space that is completely different from the main timeline, there are indeed many surprises waiting to be discovered."
Garen opened his eyes and grabbed many thaumaturgy gems.
There are secrets in the legendary twin gods of good and evil, as well as magic gems, waiting for Garen to discover. However, Garen is not in a hurry, and is ready to leave this time and space to open up a new pasture for the gods.
In order to discover more about the functions of thaumaturgic gems, before leaving, Gallon ordered Chester and the Pope to popularize the use of thaumaturgic gems in various aspects.
When Garen comes back here in a while, he hopes to see a brand new empire of thaumaturgy that can bring surprises to him.
Afterwards, Garen left this time and space and went to a more suitable new timeline to continue to open up the Godhead Ranch.
As his experience becomes more and more abundant, in different time and space, Gallon can often find the most suitable way to spread his faith and meet the requirements for the development of Shenhead Ranch in the shortest possible time.
Garon's Godhead Ranch was mostly established in a time and space based on branches of the main timeline, but some of them were established in a different time and space that was completely different from the main timeline.
Azeroth, Teyvat, Tyria, Warhammer Universe.
This journey through different time and space has made Garen's understanding of different time and space deeper and deeper, and he has seen many different time and space that are completely different from the main timeline.
Some of the dangers in different time and space made Garen feel frightened, so he only stayed for a short time and then left, not designated as the Godhead Ranch.
However, Garen also memorized the coordinates of some of the different time and space, and felt that he could travel more in the future when he became stronger.
Nine years after the main timeline.
Garen ended his journey through time and space and returned to the heroic realm of the main timeline.
Not long after returning to the hero realm, Garen, who was only one step away from a medium-level divine power, began to feel a deep sleepiness while absorbing life energy, so he entered the summit of the eternal heroic spirit and fell into a deep sleep.
