In the deep sea of nearly 400 meters, Sean seemed to hear a thunder.
Is the "Holy Book" circulating in contemporary times a tampered version?
Why does this happen?
Who tampered with it and why?
Sean and others said nothing, their breathing became lighter, and they waited quietly for Tesler to reveal the mystery of the year...
"You all know what the year 1490 is."
Sean and others nodded slightly in their hearts: since the "Voyage of the Gods" occurred, spirituality began to slowly fade in the human world - the world was transitioning from the age of mythology to the age of mankind.
And in 1490, the famous "divine return" occurred.
That is to say, the main god of the Salvation Cult, "Kean", returned to the human world again after the voyage of the gods, manifested himself in Europe, and repeatedly performed his miracles.
That year was also the year when the declining Salvation Church rose again.
After that, the "Holy Homecoming" in December every year celebrated the return of "Keane".
The subsequent birth of the theocratic country "New Landel" was precisely due to Keen's return more than 400 years ago.
Recalling this, Sean suddenly remembered something.
The predecessor of the "Daedalus Foundation", the "Spirit Craftsman Society", seems to have been suppressed after the Holy Return...
The Eye of the Labyrinth Island with the "Library of Dawn" was contaminated, which was what happened shortly after that.
And what Dal Finch and others are committed to is the enlightenment of mankind...
Could it be that the returned "Kean" doesn't want human beings to awaken to reason?
History is shrouded in mystery...
Tesler's narration paused Sean's association: "In short, Andre discovered that in the 'new version' of the Holy Book, all the teachings that were not conducive to the 'Holy Return' had been tampered with.
“For example, the Book of Elijah in the Earthsea Scrolls says: Just like watching the children and grandchildren grow up, the fathers will eventually retire, and God will eventually leave and return the authority of the world to humans...
"It was changed to - 'God will eventually return and continue to hold His authority in the sky and the earth forever'...
"Nearly half of the tampering is centered around this, and there is also some tampering...
“Distorts the image of Kean, the signs of His apparitions, and the tenets of Salvationism.
"In short, a religion that advises people to do good and atone for their sins has changed its teachings to rule the world and guide mankind forever..."
Sean suddenly realized something.
Seeing Sean's eyes, Tesler nodded understandingly: "In short, after comparing the two versions of the Holy Book, Andre had a terrifying guess..."
Next, Tesler's words made everyone present except Olivia feel goosebumps.
"That terrifying guess is...
"The so-called main god of the Salvation Religion who came back from the voyage of the gods is not Keen at all."
——
The currents collide on the ocean floor, making a thunderous sound.
After hearing what Tesler said, a strange picture appeared in the minds of Sean and others.
The loving "Holy Father Keen" sitting high in the sky suddenly turned into some kind of strange, invisible monster.
It was as if I had taken off my glasses that I had never noticed before, and discovered that the blue sky was filled with strange pictures.
Evan Burns' body froze. He no longer leaned against the wall, but straightened his back.
Although he was also surprised by what Tesler said...
However, it’s more about “regret”.
It's not that the clown hermit is timid, it's just that "Salvationism" is the most powerful religion today, and "Kean" is the only righteous god who has appeared today.
It has the largest religious population in the world, has absolutely overwhelming divine power, and seems to symbolize the mainstream of the future of mankind.
And knowing the true face of the Salvation Cult is very dangerous for a person whose strength has not yet matured.
If this was the truth, he would rather he never heard it!
On the one hand, I was shocked, on the other hand, I felt vague regret after learning the truth...
Any sane person, after believing what Tesler said, may have this kind of ambivalence.
Ocean City's new mayor continued: "After learning the truth, Andre did not act rashly.
"He knew that whatever that thing was pretending to be 'Keane' was based on the teachings it had tampered with...
"Its goal is to use salvation religion to suppress the enlightenment of human reason and enslave mankind forever with religious beliefs..."
“However, its strength is too powerful, perhaps on par with the real Keen.
“And even if Andre chooses to tell the truth, few will believe him.
“So, he kept this secret in his heart and secretly accumulated and developed his own strength.
"On the one hand, he successfully persuaded another saint among the six saints, 'Saint Mary', to join his secret plan based on the contents of the Earthsea Scrolls.
"On the other hand, 'Andre's Dinner', a group that originally had no clear vision, has gradually come to have its own mission - to resolve the crisis of human existence created by this 'false god'.
"Because no matter what the ultimate goal of this 'false god' is, its actions are extremely horrific.
"No matter what, we must take the lead in solving this crisis before all mankind encounters doom..."
At this point, Tesler paused.
He walked behind the desk and took a sip of water.
There was no fear in his expression and body movements, replaced by perseverance.
It is the perseverance of being a member of "Andre's Dinner" who has the courage to overthrow a main god.
"Then things went wrong." Tesler walked back to Sean and others and said expressionlessly.
"Sometimes, that's what happens - when you want more people to join because of the difficulty of the mission, you recruit some traitors.
"Some people are still loyal to the fake Keane even if they know the truth.
“Anyway, later the Holy See discovered what St. Andrew and St. Mary had done.
“So, it seems that a war that we are not prepared for will begin early.
"I found out later." Tesler smiled bitterly, "That was not a war at all, but a 'purge'.
“The war is over before it even begins.
"Andre and Maria have no chance to resist Shenting and Keen."
"After a brutal conflict, Andrei died and Maria escaped."
"In order to protect us, even before his death, Andre did not disclose the list of 'Dinner' members.
“So we were able to keep the fire of resistance alive.”
Having said this, Tesler seemed a little exhausted, and he sat tiredly in his chair.
"Do you need a break?" Sean stood up.
Tesler rubbed his forehead and waved his hand gently: "I'm fine.
“Let me…let me finish the story.
"Otherwise, I don't know if I will have the courage to finish it next time."
Tesler raised his upper body and continued: "Andre is our spiritual leader.
“His death was a huge blow to us.
“For this reason, the leaderless rebels also became divided.
"Some members followed the order of the surviving Maria and hid in South Delzhou to assist the local government in resisting the invasion of the 'Skitarii' - this group is also the only one who has continued the title of 'Dinner'.
"Another part of the members began to use their own understanding of the rebellion against the Holy Palace...
"One of them is a small group headed by Joseph Milton, a core member of the former 'Dinner'. They call themselves the 'Judas Circle'. This term means the deepest hell that they fell into after rebelling against the Holy Father - Judas. The place of eternal suffering is called the Ring of Judas.
"In order to resist the 'false gods', they even did not hesitate to bear the name of apostates.
"And Judas Ring launched an incredible plan..."
