Ye Qiong slowly opened his eyes, and the originally blurry front began to become clearer.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, he was filled with doubts and couldn't help but ask himself:
"Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?"
At this moment, he was in a church, and the nun in front of him who was kneeling devoutly was the best proof.
For some reason, he could know the other person's name even if he only saw his back.
"Mother Teresa, what are you doing?"
The other party did not look back, but simply replied:
"Bishop Abele, are you asleep? I am offering my faith to the Holy Father."
He closed his hands into fists, closed his eyes tightly, and was extremely focused, seemingly not paying attention to the other person's thoughts.
When Ye Qiong heard this, he looked at the glass window aside, and the only thing he saw was an old man with white hair.
Putting your hands in front of your eyes, there are only old wrinkles.
"I am Abele, the bishop of this church."
This is the only information Ye Qiong got here. Walking in the church, the memories of the past quietly revived.
The role he plays here is a kind priest who often lends a helping hand to people in need. Therefore, he has an excellent reputation in the city of Saint Caner and is the spokesperson of the Holy Father in the world.
Why do you say it's an acting role?
The loud shouting outside is proof of this.
The protagonist is his most proud student, the famous student Calvis. Although he is just a child who came out of a mountain village, he is extremely talented and, most importantly, has an extremely firm belief. Within ten years, he should be able to succeed Bertans as the leader. The next knight commander.
Therefore, the king granted him a marriage contract with the princess.
If he hadn't happened to break through the conspiracy between George the Great and the Eye of the Sky, he wouldn't have been persecuted by the king, the church, and his fiancée at the same time.
He was unjustly sentenced to death at the stake.
This is his end.
Ye Qiong sat on a horizontal chair, rolled up a row of wish grass, ignited a flame on his index finger, lit it, held it in his mouth, took a sip, and let out a long sigh of relief.
For some reason, even though he knew that it was his students who were suffering outside, he didn't feel any heartache at all. Instead, he felt more joy.
But at this moment, the voices outside became extremely panicked, and people continued to scream in exclamation.
His hearing was extremely sensitive, and he heard the sound of the collision of swords and guns, and he immediately knew that an accident had occurred.
Just as he was about to go out to check the situation, he heard a banging on the door. From the rapid knocking on the door, it was easy to tell that the person involved was extremely anxious and eager to get help from the church.
When he opened the door, he saw a familiar face, Calvis.
He was also very curious, why did he come to see him now that he was at this point.
Looking at the guards blocking the rear, he said:
"Go back, he seems to want to make his last confession to me."
The guards quickly retreated and welcomed Calvis in. They thought he would say something interesting, but it turned out to be exactly the same as what they heard that rainy night.
The conversation that followed was also very strange. This student seemed to be possessed by evil and turned into a completely strange person.
After just a little testing, the clue was revealed.
Originally, he wanted to capture him alive and ask if he was from the Church of Ghosts and Gods, but Mother Teresa beat him to it and killed Calvis.
While I was angry, I was also a little bit puzzled, what on earth were those blue-red pupils, and why did they look a little familiar?
Looking at the corpse nailed to the wall, he chose to put it away without much hesitation. After dealing with the guards who came to question him, he chose to leave directly.
At this moment, Mother Teresa was the only one left in the church. Her originally closed eyes opened, revealing her divine silver eyes.
He looked at the sculpture above and said:
"I've even forgotten my memory, isn't that right? Did something go wrong, or is this part of the arrangement?"
He frowned, and after a long time, he finally closed his eyes and chose to continue praying.
At this moment, Ye Qiong was completely unaware of all this.
Everything developed in a step-by-step manner. He found nothing on Calvis's body, leaving only the pair of pupils, and left the rest to Emperor George the Great.
Ten years passed in a flash, and the evil god's sacrifice was ready.
Emperor George, who could no longer hold himself back, launched this sacrifice early. Centered on St. Kaner City, the inhumane sacrifice that swept through the entire Apocalypse Empire officially began.
Countless black eyes walk in the sky, harvesting the lives of mortals and using their souls as nourishment for the Eyes of the Sky.
The crazy Emperor George ignored this and his only thought was to become a god and gain eternal life. Even the second prince who came to admonish him did not let him go.
Under this situation, the authority of the church was infinitely magnified, and countless civilians came to seek refuge. They were completely disappointed with the royal family.
Bishop Abele, transformed by Ye Qiong, was also happy to see this scene. He still wore a disguised mask and continued to help the civilians, repaying hypocritical anger against George the Great who committed such atrocities.
Whenever he appears in the crowd, believers will kneel down and give the most sincere greetings.
At this moment, he seemed to be the spokesman of the Holy Father in the world, and faith continued to pour into his body.
In a dilapidated thatched house, there were only two people in the house, Bishop Abele and Mother Teresa.
As his faith increased, Abele's body took on a faint glow of divinity. When he looked at Mother Teresa, he no longer had too much alertness in his eyes, and he said:
"In three days, it should be almost done."
"Um."
Mother Teresa's answer was extremely indifferent and she didn't care at all what Bishop Abele said.
This attitude made him extremely unhappy, as if to show off his power, his aura continued to grow stronger.
In this regard, Mother Teresa still had a neutral attitude, with a look of indifference on her face.
The holy flames gathered in Bishop Abele's eyes.
"I will soon become an equal being to the Holy Father. What is your attitude?"
The voice is extremely sacred, irresistible and irresistible, almost a holy word.
But even so, Mother Teresa ignored her, didn't even turn around and glanced behind her, and replied calmly:
"It's too arrogant to imagine that we can become a being at the same level as Him without even having contact with Him."
"I've seen it before. Don't you also feel this way when communicating with Him?"
When he said this, he exposed the tattoo on his neck that resembled angel wings, and his tone of voice became a little louder.
"Isn't this the best proof?"
After a while, his breathing became calmer, as if to calm himself down.
"It is impossible for me to be so ruthless and indifferent to Him, but"
"Who says He has no emotions?"
This time, Mother Teresa, who had always been calm, finally changed her tone and said the next sentence:
"He just temporarily lost his power."
After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the room, and then said:
"It's time to go, we still need to make some preparations, don't we?"
As soon as these words came out, Bishop Abele reacted and followed the nun in front of him.
Bishop Abele, who accepted a large number of faiths, defeated Emperor George the Great with absolutely crushing strength, and appeared in the eyes of the people as a saint who saved the world.
At this moment, the people's admiration for him was infinitely magnified, and they even had the faint idea of treating him as a god.
This is exactly what Bishop Abere intended.
Walking through the ruins of St. Kaner City, his tone felt very sad.
"It's finally over."
The gold characters on his right arm shone brightly, and Bishop Abere said as he walked:
"Sequence 37: Ascension to the Gods"
"The conditions for soul awakening are: first, a devout saint who makes the people of a country respect him from the bottom of his heart."
"Two, the holy word of faith, with more than 100,000 followers."
"Third, the saint who saves the world prevents a catastrophe that would overthrow the country."
Looking at the pure white stairs in front of him, Bishop Abele understood that he had now fulfilled the three conditions for soul awakening.
As long as you climb this ladder, you will be able to completely become a god and become a being on the same level as the one you believe in.
For some reason, at the last moment, what he could feel was not excitement, but the long-lost tension.
He didn't understand what was waiting for him at the end of the stairs.
However, now he no longer wants to hesitate. After spending so much, doesn’t he just want to see the top scene?
At this point, is it still possible to retreat?
As soon as he lifted his feet and stepped onto the stairs, the resonance from his soul poured into his heart, as if he was one with the stairs.
Once you take one step, there is no possibility of retreating.
And Bishop Abele cannot choose to withdraw.
One step, two steps, this pure white staircase seems to reach straight to the sky, and it is impossible to see where the end is.
Mother Teresa, not far away, just watched this scene silently, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.
Bishop Abele on the stairs could clearly feel that with every step he took, his soul would become stronger and the power in his hands would also undergo a transformation.
The holy light lingering around him became more solid, and his appearance could no longer be seen clearly.
It was obvious that they had reached a high altitude above the clouds, but the end of the stairs could not be seen clearly.
All Bishop Abele can do is to keep moving forward until he reaches the end.
This process was extremely long, and he was slowly feeling tired, not physically, but mentally.
He didn't know how long he would have to go.
Looking up, I still couldn't see the end of the spiral ladder, and I started to feel irritable.
But he had already come this far, and it was impossible for him to go back. He gritted his teeth and continued to choose to move forward.
He could only comfort himself that this was a journey of seeking the truth, and the suffering he experienced during this period was all deserved.
Gradually, he could no longer support his body and almost fell. Fortunately, he regained his strength and stabilized his body.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and really wanted to take a break, but it seemed like someone was pushing him behind him and he couldn't stop at all.
Three days, five days, ten days.
Time continues to pass, and the end of the stairs is still unclear.
In this staircase, Bishop Abele has forgotten the existence of time, and all he can do is walk forward instinctively.
His pupils had lost their highlights and looked very depressed.
But soon, he heard a burst of holy singing, which was pleasant to the body and mind. In an instant, he became energetic.
Looking ahead, a splendid palace appeared in front of the stairs that had not yet reached the end.
The pace accelerated a lot, and he seemed to be able to see angels humming in his ears. The long ordeal was finally over.
Go all the way and cross the last staircase.
Looking at the scene in front of him with hope, he was shocked. The palace in front of him began to turn into ruins, decayed and unbearable.
The soaring chants turned into anguished wails.
There was only a black mass of flesh in front of him, covered with tentacles. Even if it was far away, you could still feel His anger.
As if sensing the arrival of the outsider, a long tentacle struck.
Bishop Abele reacted extremely quickly and rolled to avoid it, but he did not expect that this move would anger the other party.
Like a child who couldn't get snacks, his mood began to become irritable, and debris kept falling on the already dilapidated palace.
The black mass of flesh opened its bloody mouth, and the strong and powerful wind attracted Bishop Abele, making him unable to control his body at all.
Pointing at the meat ball with two fingers, he said hurriedly in a divine voice:
"Word Spirit - Forbidden"
The method that had always been unfavorable was ineffective in front of Rou Tuan.
Bishop Abele chanted a spell in panic, trying to find the ability to break the opponent's spell, but he was disappointed.
No matter how much you do, you can't stop the other party.
The vortex was getting closer and closer to where he was, and he, who had always been calm, could no longer hold his nerve.
A huge sense of crisis lingered in my heart, and I urgently wanted to know one thing.
"What the hell is that?"
"Is it the remaining consciousness in the sequence ability? Impossible, I have already eliminated it."
"Is it possible that this is a trial to become a god? By the way, it can only be this one."
Looking at the meat ball in front of him, his fighting spirit suddenly arose. As long as he defeated this monster, would he be able to successfully become a god?
The fear that had just arisen now turned into a desire.
Although his sequence ability has failed, he does not only have these methods.
When he was about to do something, he heard a child-like voice.
"Word Spirit - Forbidden"
This childlike voice fell in Bishop Abele's ears, but it was no different from a nightmare.
The invisible chains imprisoned him, making him unable to move at all.
"Why, why can you use my sequence ability?"
The proof of the sequence is that the golden letters are still engraved on his body, but the other party still uses the ability to ascend to the long level of the gods.
Bishop Abele was completely panicked and wanted to escape, but he couldn't move his legs and feet at all.
As soon as he took a breath, a ball of flesh hit him. The bloody mouth swallowed half of his body, but he quickly spat it out.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, he said:
"It tastes terrible."
