In this first all-member meeting, the passage Sean chose to preach was Chapter 17 of "The Long Poem of the Night Wind".
This is a carefully considered choice. Interestingly, the scene described in Chapter 17 coincides with today's gathering.
The story told in this chapter is that after the panic of the first half of the night, when the shadows in the forest evaporated, Ms. Hershey gathered everyone together.
Under the light of the fire, in the night that returned to silence, she carefully taught people how to defeat fear in the darkness and how to stabilize their hearts...
“Fear is just a shadow in the mind—it’s an illusion,” she said.
"As long as you stare at it quietly and wait patiently, the shadow will dissipate on its own." Choosing Chapter Seventeen to preach, Sean has his own far-reaching intention.
In a situation like today when everyone is present, the Black Feather Guards are standing tall, and there are even King-level players on the field, fear naturally makes them cower in the corner and dare not show their faces.
But Sean knew that when the rally ended, the crowd dispersed, and the fear in the hearts of the lonely people became arrogant.
Not only that, he also knew that everything that would happen in the future would require courage from his believers.
As long as they themselves can see through their fear, Hershey's power can reach their hearts. Before the Dark Ages come, he will seize every opportunity to remind them of the illusory nature of fear and the indestructibility of courage!
Standing on the stage, Shawshank could see that as he recounted the essence of this chapter in a calm tone, people's eyes became firm.
He knew that he gave them courage. Sean believes that the more than two thousand believers tonight will definitely remember everything tonight when they encounter major challenges in the future.
This is the most important significance of this rally. In the pavilion, Olivia Fengchime stood quietly. She often had the opportunity to listen in, but she didn't have much emotion, but Yueguang and Ivan were somewhat invested in listening.
They had never thought that extraordinary wisdom could be transmitted in this way - the method of seeing through fear may have been fully mastered by only a few faith elites present, but tonight, this kind of wisdom is lighting up the hearts of more than two thousand people. …Just imagine, what would the world look like if more people gained such wisdom?
So, is this the power of faith? Human beings inherently need faith. And the correct use of faith can really create incredible miracles.
"This night, she listens; every night, she is with me like a shadow." After finishing tonight's speech, Shawshank led the believers to read the words of confession.
"This night, she is listening; every night, she is with me like a shadow."
“May you never forget it day and night – she is always listening.”
"May you never forget it day and night - she is always listening!" More than two thousand believers, including fire bearers and black feather guards, all chanted in unison, bowed their heads piously, and performed self-supporting salutes together.
In an instant, their voices came together, their thoughts came together, and their piety resonated harmoniously... The scene was solemn, and Moonlight and Ivan actually saw a sacred golden halo above the crowd... That is the light emanating from the purest power of faith!
They had been surprised before when wisdom lit up like a prairie fire, but now they were a little shocked when they saw people's thoughts coalescing into one and creating resonance.
Moonlight blinked her eyes again and again, and inadvertently stretched her neck forward. Ivan lowered his arms and stared intently at the resonance of the scene.
No wonder, the gods covet people's faith and have fought fiercely for this throughout the long history.
It turns out that this power is so majestic and magnificent... Moonlight couldn't help but look up at the sky, looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky, and was deeply glad that Sean chose to hold the rally today.
After regaining their composure, they realized that Sean, as a explorer, had opened a gap with other King-class people.
The power of faith shown by Ye Feng tonight has allowed Sean to stand out among the others in his level and reach the edge of Ace.
After listening to Mr. Rogers preaching the doctrine and talking with his brothers and sisters, the captain of the Black Feather Guards, Three-tone Nighthawk, noticed something.
He turned to look at the team. The Remembrancer nodded to him. Arranging his team members to stay put, Nighthawk retreated to the end of the team after three sounds.
In order not to attract attention, he quietly walked into the deserted chapel. Just when he finished talking, he
I "heard" some strange sounds. The sound came from outside the sanctuary and was an unsettling sound.
In order to grasp the surrounding situation, he sat on a bench, lowered his head, transformed into a nighthawk in his spiritual form, and flew out of the chapel window.
At this time, the rally on the lawn was still going on. Mr. Rogers is inviting Fireman Hart to speak.
The small nighthawk flapped its wings hard and flew towards the haze-covered sky. After feeling that the altitude was high enough, he turned to glide downwards for reconnaissance... The bird could not focus its eyes, and just used its left eye to see the ground clearly, under the nighthawk mask. Kabul Lori couldn't help but shudder in his heart - he saw a dark golden halo covering the assembly site like a curtain.
Outside the curtain, he saw layers of black waves raging, constantly bombarding the golden curtain!
That was... a night terror! He heard Mr. Rogers mention that when Night Breeze's faith thrives, it will induce invasion and testing from external threats.
When the church was first established, night terrors, an unknown and terrifying energy, once attacked the Night Breeze site. It was the appearance of the goddess that broke the wave of terror.
But now... a dark tide that is much bigger and more terrifying than before is raging crazily outside, but there is no way to enter the venue!
Not only because the hearts of two thousand believers are united, not only because of Mr. Rogers' firm belief like a ballast stone, but also because... Three Nighthawks saw from the air that the white pavilion was exuding the power of Pei Wei. The soul energy enriched the outer halo, blocking the terrifying night terrors from the outside.
So much so that ordinary believers don’t even know what is happening outside now! Seeing the black wave surrounding the venue where the lights were lit, Nighthawk suddenly remembered the feeling he had at that moment when he just stared at the gentleman's mask... In the dark waves, an ark rose and fell like a bright light.
In that dark world, it is stable and bright, so tenacious and stubborn. In the eyes of Three-Sound Nighthawk, the meaning in the mask coincided with the real scene.
He seemed to see the tail of fate and the direction it was going. Unable to describe, and unable to share the feeling of this moment with others... Nighthawk Kabul Lori heard three times, only to feel his heart beating wildly and his eyes burning.
Only then did he truly realize what Night Breeze meant.
