As the scene in front of him turned into reality, Yang Tianyi raised his hand and clenched his fist. After feeling the air passing through his fingers, he nodded, realizing that he had left Arete's spiritual world and returned to reality.
It is not difficult to tell from the almost unchanged expressions on the faces of the surrounding Federation lurkers that although he and Yin Lisabai spent a lot of time in the spiritual world, only a short second or two passed in reality.
"I didn't expect that the teachers in the virtual realm are not monolithic, but are on the mountaintops."
Yang Tianyi looked at the Void Realm instructor Arete who was meditating with his eyes closed not far away. He narrowed his eyes slightly and turned around and added: "But thinking about it, even a civilized empire that is united externally cannot be completely united, let alone the Void Realm. This is a loose organization of mentors.”
Yin Lisabai nodded when she heard this. While agreeing with this statement, what she had just seen and heard in the spiritual world emerged from the depths of her mind again.
When, where and by whom was the Void Realm Mentor Organization formally established? There are different opinions on the answers to these questions, and even Aret doesn't know much about it.
But as a psyker from an orthodox school, he believes that the fallen empire has still not given up searching. The great prophet Zaclan who was active thousands of years ago played a great role in the establishment of the Void Realm Mentor Organization. Great effect.
According to Arete, before the virtual realm mentor organization was established, the sages at that time only gathered together with the idea of exploring the mysteries of spiritual energy together. Most of them had never had the idea of guiding ordinary beings to practice spiritual energy. The thought of being able.
In the space cities dotted deep in the universe, powerful psykers attracted by the cracks in the void established the predecessor of the void mentor organization, the void walker city-state.
To the people at that time, the space city built by the Void Walker city-state was regarded as a holy place for psykers in the entire galaxy. Only psychic warlocks recognized by the sages would be allowed to join the Void Walkers and join the many sages in the Void. Traveling in the environment.
By looking through the historical materials left over from that time, Arete said this process may have lasted for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, the Void Walker city-state has maintained a high degree of exclusivity. At that time, let alone ordinary people, even psychic potentials and weak psychics were not welcomed by the sages. Going to a space city is even more wishful thinking.
But over time, internal differences arose among the Void Walkers due to their different research directions and beliefs in spiritual energy. There were big differences.
In just a few decades, the originally quite united Void Walker city-state gradually separated into independent psyker gathering places based on space cities. At that time, the Sharp Eyes Order to which Arete belonged was also born.
In order to save the Void Walker city-state that was about to fall apart, the always stubborn sages finally left the high platform they had never left, and used their influence to bring together the leaders of the major religious orders and city-states that were almost on the verge of war. , held a peace conference that lasted for half a year.
During the meeting, most leaders believed that the Void Walker organization's attitude toward psychic powers had become rigid over time, so that hundreds of years after the organization was founded, the number of members had barely grown, and some city-states still had There has been a regression.
"Are there not enough psykers like us in the galaxy? I don't think so! If it weren't for the complacency and obstacles of you so-called 'sages', perhaps as early as a hundred years ago, our exploration of the virtual world The progress can reach the current level!”
In the spiritual world, Aret played for Yang Tianyi and Yin Lisabai a holographic image preserved from the meeting at that time, which recorded the scene in which the then leader of the Sharp-Eyed Order criticized the sage.
In the hours-long speech of the leader of the cult, he talked about everything - from the sages who established the city-state to the unawakened potential; as far as the development of the Void Walker organization in the next hundreds or even thousands of years. , as far as the mistakes made by major religious orders and city-states in recent decades.
It was also after this speech, which was called the "Sharp Eyed Prophecy" within the virtual realm instructors, that the half-year-long meeting finally came to an end.
After a vote by the leaders, it was finally agreed that the various city-state sects would reunite and move toward the future together. The majority defeated the minority with an absolute advantage, laying the foundation for the secularization of the Void Walker organization.
Considering that most of the members of the Void Walker city-state come from various civilized empires, the strength gap between countries can easily lead to sages of the same race being biased when dealing with city-state affairs.
Therefore, in the end, the leaders decided to adopt a parliamentary rotation system and set up seven permanent seats and one speaker's seat. The speaker's seat was jointly elected by all formal members of the Void Walker City-State. As a result, most of the seats were held by people who are highly respected, fair, and able to convince the public. .
The permanent seats will be divided among the seven city-states and religious orders that made the most contributions to the Void Walker organization during the previous Speaker's tenure. The rotation period is fifty years, which means that if one or some city-states stop progressing on the road of exploring the mysteries of psychic energy, their throne life in the parliament may only be fifty years.
Fifty years may be a long time for humans, but for long-lived immortal races or powerful psychics, fifty years is just the time it takes for them to travel through the virtual realm several times. The establishment of the parliamentary rotation system makes every psyker do his best to contribute in order for the order to which he belongs to obtain sufficient resources and benefits in the organization.
However, there are many ways to contribute, and they are not limited to the traditional exploration of the virtual world and digging into the unknown. The leader of the Sharp-Eyed Order, who has always liked to break the rules, has keenly sensed the opportunities brought by countless potential bodies in the galaxy.
By virtue of its high-quality service of awakening psychic powers for all latent bodies in the galaxy and escorting weak psychics to explore the virtual realm, the Order of the Sharp Eyes has earned huge wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine. And in addition to simple material wealth, the friendly relations between the Sharp Eyes Order and various civilized empires are intangible treasures.
Having said this, Arete is inevitably a little proud. After all, not all religious orders have the strength to serve the psykers of the entire galaxy. Over the past two hundred years, many sects and city-states have tried to replicate the success of the Sharp-Eyed Order and seize the latter's permanent seat in the parliament, but in the end they all failed.
As for the extent of the influence of the Sharp Eyes Order in preaching and teaching within the galaxy, this can be seen from the fact that people gradually refer to Void Walkers as Void Realm Mentors. The Sharp Eyes Order's dominance within the organization has long been surpassing other ancient orders that still adhere to their traditions.
Even the Speaker, who theoretically has one-vote veto power, has to make a decision after careful consideration when vetoing a proposal proposed by the Sharp-Eyed Order. Of course, most of the time the Sharp-Eyed Order's groundbreaking proposals are supported by a majority of the people in the Council and can be implemented without lengthy and boring debates.
As for how the Void Walkers view the Sharp-Eyed Order and their repeated violations of tradition, Aret did not say it clearly. He only implicitly stated that some ancient sages in the city-states and religious orders were indeed disgusted by the Void Realm mentors. The secularization and popularization of psychic energy has not occurred only because of the power and contribution of the Sharp Eyes Order.
In the eyes of those old antiques who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, psychic power should belong to the minority. The deviant behavior of the Sharp-Eyed Order is undoubtedly putting their cherished traditions on the flames.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. If something happens to the sect in the future because of the tutor business, those old guys will definitely make things worse."
In his own spiritual world, Arete casually dispersed the mist that gradually enveloped the starry sky, and sneered at the ancients: "It's a pity that spiritual power has given us all the ability to predict the future, so everyone knows that it is not It could happen.”
"I firmly believe that ancient traditions will eventually be worn away by the sand of the long river of time, and the power of psychic energy will never be only in the hands of a few people, just like the truth that materialists firmly believe."
Come and try it quickly. 】
