"Any information about the Western Continent? That place is very mysterious to me, and your question is a big one. I don't know where to start for a short time. Please tell me what information you want to know first. ." Upon hearing this, Milo knew that Lord Du'e did not intend to hide much this time, and asked: "I want to know the general situation of the Western Continent, such as the organizations inside and the strong people who exist."
"What's the general situation?" Zhenjun Du'e pondered for a while and said: "The Western Continent is different from the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent. It is closer to Han Xia and we, and they jointly obey the Holy See of the God they only believe in. According to what we are gathering now Judging from the information received, there are approximately three organizations under the Holy See, namely the Temple of the Holy Spirit, the Temple of Holy Light and the Holy Knights. You can also simply understand it as the Holy Temple, the Holy Church and the Holy Order." Zhenjun Du'e joked After introducing the three major organizations under the Holy See in a formal manner, he said solemnly: "Among the three major organizations, the most important thing for us to pay attention to is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, where the Holy See's gods and goddesses gather. , for these existences that depend on him, the Western continent uniformly calls them the Holy Spirit. They have the power of the domain, but do not have the ability of priesthood or authority. They seem to be weaker than the orthodox gods. As far as I know, the Holy Spirit is now There are five true God-level Holy Spirits in the temple, namely the Near-God, the Divine Speaker, the Bearer, the Redeemer and the Four Horsemen; there are 227 demigod-level Holy Spirits, thirty-two of them. It has been confirmed that it has fallen; in addition, there is a very special existence, the angel legion that has been sublimated from the devout believers of the Holy See, and its number is about six thousand." Speaking of angels, Zhenjun Du'e showed a little displeasure. Their expressions clearly did not like their existence, but when describing it, Milo could still feel that Zhenjun did not mix his personal emotions into it.
"The concept of those angels is actually closer to the spirits of our caves, such as those monks who failed to break through in the Thirty-three Jade Palaces of Qingxu Heaven of Miaoyou Sect. It's just that the brilliance of the Holy Seat is too dazzling, and the assimilation The ability is stronger, even if he does not intend to attract, he will make all the beings close to him continue to stick to him, and many of those angels were born very early, and their origins can be traced back to thousands of years ago. The long-term belief and Pray, so that their hearts and minds are so highly aligned with the Holy See that they become an extension of the Holy See’s will. Most of them are humanoid life forms with six wings. One pair of the six wings behind them covers their eyes. , a pair of wings covering the legs, and a pair of wings flapping gently, holding a holy scripture in one hand and a sword in the other." After briefly introducing the situation of these angels, Zhenjun Du'e added: "Yes Well, the worst of these angels are equivalent to the demigods who have just broken through in the Southern Islands, and the strongest among them is no less than the monks like us who are in the Hanxia Sanhua Gathering Realm." Milo was a little surprised by the power of the Western Continent. He asked: "More than six thousand demigods, and according to you, a top-notch legion? Such a force has not penetrated the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent?"
"The Southern Islands and the Northern Continent are not as simple as you think. Not to mention the distance, the Sun God of the Kingdom of Sand is much better than me. He can restrain each other from the Holy See. Do you think there are other forces that are comparable to him? No backup plan? For them, it is not difficult to win over a few true gods or hundreds of demigods. What is difficult is to cultivate companions who can play a role in subsequent high-end combat power. And if they want to intervene with the emperor, The level of battle must at least reach the level of me, Fumo, Shenwu and Wenxuan." Hearing this, Milo suddenly realized that there had been a long period of world silence in both the northern continent and the southern archipelago, and the four The time when the Great True Lord was born was also around this time point. Therefore, there used to be some true gods comparable to the Four True Lords in the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent. However, after the death of several top gods, they disappeared together. As a result, the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent are seriously lacking in high-level combat capabilities. After conversion, the concept of the five true gods in the Western Continent should be similar to the four true kings.
Milo told True Lord Du'e of his speculation, but received a not-so-good answer.
"The One who is near God, the God Speaker, the Bearer, the Redeemer and the Four Horsemen, what do you think these five true gods symbolize? Is the One who is near God close to God, or is he close to God? What the God Speaker speaks is the word of God. Or conveying the words of God? What can the redeemer redeem? As for the bearer who carries the chaotic evil energy of all creatures in the Western Continent and the four knights in one, the emperor once gave the answer. Those two are already the incarnation of the Holy See. ." After Zhenjun Du'e almost sneered, he responded softly: "After all, for the Holy See, there is no need for subordinate gods. He is one, he is ten thousand, and everything can run according to his thoughts. , there is no need for any unnecessary distractions in the Western Continent." After Zhenjun Du'e made a brief comment, he did not go into depth on this topic, but continued to explain the situation in the Western Continent.
"The Church of Holy Light and the Holy Knights are located under the Temple of the Holy Spirit. They are where Holy See missionaries and guardian knights gather respectively. The division of labor between the two is very clear. Except for the monks of the Holy Light Church who are based in the Western Continent, most of them are Most of them are actively spreading their faith to the northern continent and the southern islands, and a very small number of monks from the temple have traveled across the ocean to preach in Hanxia." When he said this, Zhenjun Du'e's face didn't look very good, and so did Milo. Recalling the situation in the early years when Yangzhou and Jingzhou were eroded by the Western Holy See faith, he did not ask further questions, but directly asked about the last Holy Knights.
"The Holy Knights are the largest violent organization in the Western Continent that targets believers and the outside world. There are roughly the Holy Knights who fight externally, the Guardian Knights who protect the homeland, and the Judgment Knights who target the internal corruption of the homeland. Among them, the Holy Knights are the largest Most of them are sitting in the world fragments, some are active in the northern continent with the missionaries, and a very few go to the southern islands to sit in their faith." After hearing this, Milo was a little lost.
"The Knights of Judgment? The True Lord said before that that One is both one and ten thousand. There is no need for distractions outside of him in the Western Continent. Why does the Knights of Judgment still exist? According to his realm, Unless he acquiesces, how could anyone have a second mind?" Milo was very surprised. He didn't talk about it, but just said Milo himself. As long as he is willing, all those who believe in him will receive his blessings and uphold the In his way, betrayal and resistance are impossible.
In response to this, Zhenjun Du'e was a little unsure of how to answer. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. After all, we are not able to figure out his level of practice. Besides, his path and It's completely different for us, and it's even harder to guess."
"Then can I know some of the living conditions of the sentient beings in the Western Continent? You said before that the bearers carry the chaotic evil energy of all living beings in the Western Continent. Under such circumstances, are the living beings in the Western Continent better off?"
"It's actually similar to Han Xia and me. In some ways, it may be better." When Zhenjun Du'e said this, his tone was a little strange.
"In the Western Continent, all creatures will be baptized after being born and receive the blessing of the Holy See. The chaotic evil energy on their bodies will be absorbed by the bearers, and as long as they regularly enter the Holy See's ashram and church to pray, they will have enough faith. The power of the wish, and the subsequent contaminated chaotic evil energy will also be absorbed by the bearer. Generally speaking, as long as you pray once every seven days, you can maintain a normal life in the Western Continent."
"But in fact, according to the information we have collected and what we have observed, the number of times people in the Western continent pray is much more than once every seven days. The most common is once a day, and the most common is entering the church three times a day for morning prayers. Pray at noon and evening. But what’s interesting is that in their social structure, all professions related to faith are only slightly nobler and do not have a too high position. Compared with the temple prayers in some areas of Hanxia and others, we have Insufficient. Moreover, their views on betrayers are also different. Some are able to accept it, some cannot bear it, and some are prone to extremes, leading to what they call depravity."
"How could this happen?" Milo was a little surprised. Logically speaking, in the Western Continent, the status of priests should be infinitely elevated. How could it be possible that professions related to faith did not have such a high status.
True Lord Du'e thought for a while and said slowly: "This is just my personal guess. I have studied the life cycle system of the Western Continent. According to the influence of the Western Holy See on believers, mortal souls should not last long. As time remains in the world, after generations of faith, and the bearers carrying the evil energy of chaos again and again, the creatures on the Western Continent will become more and more attached to the Holy See, until they are promoted to his capital, or become one of them. petitioners, or become part of an angel, or become a new angel..." When he said the last sentence, True Lord Du'e added: "As for the accumulation of the souls of believers into angels, I also thought of it after discovering the spirit of the cave in the Thirty-three Jade Towers of the Miaoyou Sect. After all, a being who can become an angel should have the opportunity to become a saint. Even if he died prematurely due to an accident, he should not be supported. More than 6,000 angels were born. Especially according to records, there was a period of rapid growth in the number of angels under the Holy See 25,000 years ago. At least two-thirds of the more than 6,000 angels now originate from That era." Milo nodded and asked again: "Zhenjun, before you introduced the true gods and angels, what happened to the demigod-level Holy Spirit in the middle? You said there were two hundred and twenty-seven. Thirty-two of them have definitely died. Where did they come from? According to normal circumstances, this ratio is not right." Milo silently calculated that according to the local records of Hanxia, the time of the war of the gods was about eight Thousands of years ago, there were many battles and the war lasted for about 30,000 years. In the end, only eight gods were left to sit in all directions. Among them, the one in the east was the emperor's predecessor, the landowner and the lord of war. In the western continent, there was the Holy See and another one without Among the gods who left their names, the northern continent was the Lord of the Lunar and the Lord of the Netherworld. Before the southern islands were broken, they were managed by the Lord of the Sun and the Lord of Time.
The time when the name of the Holy See was determined was about 50,000 years ago, which happened to be the time when the emperor unified Hanxia Continent and changed its name to Jinhong Emperor.
At the turbulent time between the East and the West, the two gods on the southern continent at that time also fought. The outcome was the death of the Lord of Time, interrupting the southern continent's earth line, causing chaos in the universe, and causing many islands to appear around the continent.
After the Divine War in the Southern Continent, a war broke out between the Lord of Taiyin and the Lord of the Netherworld in the North. The final outcome was even more miserable than in the Southern Continent. The entire Northern Continent was covered in eternal ice and a chaotic underworld. The shroud of Hades directly changed the life essence of a large number of species.
According to records, the fall of the two gods of the northern continent further caused the chaos of time and caused the world's yin and yang to become unbalanced. The Lord of the Sun, who barely survived the first battle with the Lord of Sequence, fell to the earth a hundred years after the fall of the two gods of the north. It penetrated the entire continent and turned it into the current Southern Islands. In some places in the Kingdom of Sand, there is still a saying that this desert was the place where the Lord of the Sun fell.
After that came the 45,000 years that Zhenjun Due mentioned before. At that time, the Holy See tried to break through eternity. It is said that the emperor went to stop it. There is no record of the specific war. It only records that the Holy See failed to break through eternity. There is a shortage.
It was also from that time on that the records of the Western Continent showed that the Holy See no longer cared about earthly matters and stood high above the nine heavens. The emperor of Hanxia also let go of the human world and lived in seclusion on Tianzhu Mountain in the center of Hanxia.
It was also after that battle that the shadows of many gods appeared in the Southern Islands and the Northern Continent. According to the speculation of the recorder, the Lord of Taiyin and the Lord of the Netherworld in the Northern Continent, and the Lord of the Sun and the Lord of Time in the Southern Continent should have It is at this point in time that we plan our comeback.
To put it simply, more than 40,000 years have passed since the stability of the Western Continent. Without counting the influence of the incomplete world outside the sky, even if a saint is born every one hundred years, there will not be only more than 200 people. Even more than ten percent of the more than two hundred people have definitely died. No matter how you look at this proportion, it is wrong.
In response to this, True Lord Du'e would still respond, and a voice came to mind in the void: "Miluo, you have also seen some demigods from the northern continent. Don't you think that the power of some of these demigods is more suitable for the Holy See? Just the Holy See At the level of the throne, do you think those demigods who have gained power belong to the northern continent or are they subordinate to the Holy See? Even if they belong to the north at the beginning, after a long time, where do you think they belong? On this point, you should You are the one who knows best." Milo heard this, looked back, and saw the Demon-Conquering Lord standing by the side at some point.
Milo hurriedly saluted: "I have met the true king."
