Chapter 2523 The Last Church
“Let’s go, there’s nothing more to say.”
“Ms. Erda——”
Elda’s expulsion order has just been issued , Soshiyang felt the pull of a force, and then everything in front of him flashed across like light at an extremely fast speed. When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in front of Lei Shi's tea room, and the surrounding corridors had already Recover as before.
After a while of silence, he raised his head and just as he was about to knock on the door, the indifferent voice of the confused person came from inside.
"Come in."
Soshiyang opened the door and walked in. The confused man was still sitting on the sofa, and the cup of tea belonging to Soshiyang on the coffee table was still steaming.
He did not return to his seat, but just stood in front of the door, looked at the bewilderment, and said slowly:
"The bewilderment. This is also your plan, right, you, you I know what the crazy Erda will say to me. You must be able to shut her out, but you chose to let her say that to me, and I am becoming more and more unpredictable about your thoughts.”
The confused person turned the teacup in his hand and said warmly:
"I said, everything depends on your own decision."
Soshiyang lowered his head and smiled bitterly, slowly walked to the sofa on the other side, and sat down.
"Do existences like you all like to play with mortals?"
"I have long passed the time to play this kind of game."
"Confused, you have known what Li did for a long time, 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. I said, I am not omniscient and omnipotent."
Soshiyang picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Puzzled, I want to hear the story of this church and the story of Thunder Stone. Since it appears here, it means that it must have extraordinary significance to you."
Puzzled The reporter raised his head and looked at the ceiling,
“This is Terra, or the last church on earth.”
Soshiyang laughed dryly upon hearing this.
“The last church? Aren’t there already many churches on Terra?”
“There used to be very few.”
“Then this earth What happened in the last church? ""The Emperor in your mouth unified the cradle of mankind. He is determined to launch an expedition to conquer the galaxy, not only to conquer the galaxy, but also to conquer people's hearts and beliefs. He wants to destroy everything. Regarding the belief in the old gods and preventing humans from worshiping the Lord of Destruction, he first banned all religious beliefs starting from Terra. But before he was about to start his expedition, he heard that there was one last church in a remote and remote mountain. The last priest. On a stormy night, he put on simple clothes and visited the church called Thunder Stone alone. He wanted to prove that he could defeat the fragile so-called faith without force. He wanted to make the last priest Taking the initiative to give up the outdated creed and embrace the new world he was about to create. This was the first battle of the expedition. The weapons were not swords and bullets, but reason and science. This was a battle he firmly believed he would win. ”
Soshyan suddenly laughed, laughing so loudly that he almost burst into laughter.
It wasn’t until a few minutes later that he stopped laughing, shook his head, and stumbled out a sentence
“All delusions are caused by attachment. It can cause obstacles. The reason why it is held is because of its existence. The reason why it is held is because of ignorance. There is no other cause besides ignorance. Therefore, all delusions are attributed to ignorance. This is what Master Ananda once said to me. I am not very knowledgeable and did not understand what you said. "Puzzled, do you understand?"
But Puzzled did not answer Soshiyang, but continued his plain narration.
“He came to the church, met the pastor who had opposed him, tasted the wine he brewed, listened to his story and his beliefs, and then he easily used his own debate and language to He refuted the pastor's belief. He won, and he won very freely. His great conquest had a good start. However, when he was about to burn down the last church, the pastor rejected him. The pastor threw He took off the robe he was wearing and calmly walked into the sea of fire. Originally, he had already calculated everything, and he was confident that nothing would change. But at that moment, for the first time, he was at a loss. He couldn't help but He doesn't know why, he doesn't know what went wrong, why the person he has conquered suddenly changes, it is obvious that he is just a blindly following ordinary person, and it is obvious that the other person doesn't understand anything."
"...Although he had thousands of thoughts in his heart at that time, he couldn't show it because his soldiers were looking at him. He could only watch his 'results' burned up in a sea of fire. He had indeed destroyed the earth. The last church, but he failed to conquer the last priest on earth, a man he considered the most ignorant and blind. Although he never admitted it, this was the first failure of the Great Crusade, even if he conquered it in the future In one galaxy after another, and even in most of the galaxy, he always remembered that in that windy and rainy little church, he failed to conquer a single frustrated priest. Many people rejected him, but no one could compare to this one. The priest left the deepest impression on him. For the first time, he felt confused and doubted whether he was true or wrong."
After listening, Soshiyang was silent for a long time. Finally, he glanced at the half-full tea cup in his hand and put it into his throat.
"So, that's when you appeared, Confused, right? I suddenly understand your situation a little bit."
Then he sighed.
"Thunder Stone, Thunder Stone. The Emperor at that time conquered the galaxy and his opponents, but he never really conquered the hearts of the people. On the contrary, thousands of years later, the state religion conquered in his name Human heart, what an irony.”
The confused person still didn't express anything about this, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Puzzler, I heard Erda say that the Emperor once used the Phoenix Holy Grail for divination?"
"Yes, there is such a thing."
"He was then Don’t you have any doubts? After all, this is a sacred thing left by the Lord Ada. What if the prophecy contained in it is guiding?”
“I have thought about it, but he believes in himself. Not being deceived by false prophecies, he used his own methods to confirm the possibility of those prophecies. In addition, he also found a volume of secret records written by Asurayan, which recorded a lot of useful information and a set of The prophecy deduction technique used in conjunction with the Phoenix Holy Grail can deduce a truly infinite future... He has repeatedly verified and confirmed the correctness of these information and methods, but even so, he is still dubious about the prophecies revealed by the Phoenix Holy Grail, otherwise .There would not have been such a serious series of rebellions. After discussing with his most trusted friends and staff, he decided to take some preventive measures for the future of the Primarchs in order to change the deduced prophecies. Unfortunately, all this ended up Still failed to materialize.”
"A volume of secret records?"
"It can be said to be the most informative book in the galaxy that I know of so far. Its comprehensiveness is amazing, and there are even many secrets about the battle between the ancient saints and heaven. , as well as involving the core technology of the Webway and a large amount of extraordinary knowledge, such as some key means of creating the original body... It was precisely because of it that that person was able to start his Great Expedition Plan and the Webway Plan. He also let down his guard against Huang Ji Jingshi and concentrated on studying the plan recorded in it to free the race from the interference of the Lord of Destruction. But now that he thinks about it, the sweetest gift is the most vicious trap. Unfortunately, he was too confident at the time. He thought A fallen god can't do anything anymore. He only regards the Lord of Destruction as his real opponent. If he had completely followed Huang Ji's shocking deduction and plan, maybe the result would have been different."
" What is the name of that secret book? Does it still exist? "
"Translated in human language, its name should be Huang Ji Jingshi. At the last moment of the great rebellion, he felt that leaving this thing would be a good idea. The consequences are endless, and this masterpiece was destroyed before heading to the Vengeful Spirit."
