The Sabbath

This is a peaceful age.

The scientific and technological civilization of Sky City is highly developed, the social welfare system is perfect, and people's material needs have been fully met; the level of medical care has also reached an unprecedented height. Many intractable diseases in the past are now minor problems. They are raised with a high degree of equality in human rights, without racial discrimination or gender discrimination.

No wars, no disasters in the city, extremely low crime rate... It seems almost an ideal era.

It's all about "looks".

Beneath the surface of peace, people still haven't forgotten that they live in a tower.

The sky looks blue, but that is the color that is filtered through layers of artificial shields.The sky is always bright, and everyone knows in their hearts that it is not the light of peace, but the light brought by collisions and explosions that occur all the time in the universe.

From ancient times to the present, people have known and explored the world they live in little by little.

In ancient times, people left the area where they lived and went to explore the area next door;

Later, people went further and left their "country";

And then, people have already understood all the countries on the planet they live in, and they start to study various sciences, manufacture spaceships, aircraft, break through the atmosphere, and explore other planets in the universe.

But now, all planets have been called "star cities". The highly developed technology allows people to know the planet they are on very well, and they can travel to other planets very conveniently. The distance barriers have almost disappeared in this era. Just a little time cost.

Human beings have an innate desire to explore, no, not only human beings, as long as they are living organisms, everyone has this desire.It is not just a desire for knowledge, but also a sense of urgency. Everyone needs to know where they are and where they can go if there is a disaster in the future.

But for all living objects, there is always this subconscious desire in the heart.

However, it is precisely in this era of incomparable peace, highly advanced technology, and incomparably affluent people's lives that people's desire to explore...is stopped.

Everyone knows where they live, the endless belt of eternal light, the last paradise of the Big Bang.

It sounds like a paradise. To some extent, if you use another adjective to describe it, it is an island.

Anyone who has studied history knows that the time span of any terrible disaster that can change the shape of the universe is often calculated in "hundred million years".

Universe, generation, century, era, period, time...these are all units that can describe time.

Human beings are just creatures that exist at a small point in the history of time.

Under normal circumstances, people don't mind that they live in a certain time and era.

however--

They are now at a very special point in time.

The universe burst open with a bang.

The vast majority of life has disappeared in the vast universe, and there are no longer any stars in the entire universe.

It can be said that today's human beings live in the early days of the universe.

No one knows when the explosion will stop, no one knows when the matter in the universe will re-stabilize, no one knows when the debris in the nebula will shrink under its own gravity, create a vortex, and then create new stars...

People are drifting in the tower, and no one knows when the outside environment will change, when the first planet that can be settled by humans will be born in the universe...

Everything is unknown.

Under the seemingly peaceful background of the times, people are very confused about their future life.

At the beginning, the compulsory education in the tower had detailed history courses. The textbooks introduced all the life of people before they lived in the tower, and also described in detail the difficulties of human beings in building the tower and the history of settling in the tower.

This kind of detailed history education lasted for about 300 years. New textbooks were introduced, and in new history books, the "new history" of a large number of people entering the tower replaced the previous content.

You can understand this change as an inevitable change caused by the historical process. The continuous accumulation of new history will inevitably squeeze out the weight occupied by the past history.

However, the deeper reason is that the anxiety in people's hearts has been increasingly generated, the lack of human genes, the emergence of new genetic diseases, and a large number of disqualified people are forced to move to the underground city...

People are becoming more and more confused about the times they live in.

There have even been two suicide spree in human history.

Desperation for the future spread rapidly among ordinary residents, and many suicide organizations appeared on the Internet for a while, and everyone agreed to commit suicide together at the same time.

Those were two terrible years.

After that, the control between the star cities was strengthened.

The originally very open freedom of speech was also restricted, and the network between the dungeons was completely interrupted, and it has not been restored until now.

In this case, various "religions" came into being.

People have faith, and regular church activities can help people relieve stress. In this case, the birth of religion has been strongly supported by various star cities.

In the beginning, religion was just an organization to help people relieve stress. However, with more and more believers, religious organizations became more and more standardized, larger and larger, and with sufficient funds, they established their own schools. In the beginning, it was just a charity school. However, due to the growing strength of the teachers, it has gradually become various famous colleges. These colleges have cultivated countless outstanding students. After leaving the college, quite a few of these outstanding students have become the backbone of society.

Due to the high degree of autonomy, each star city is almost all operated by itself. Each city owner is also a planet owner. They have a high degree of management power over their own planet. They jointly negotiated a unified code that all planets must obey. Then, after the code Next, each planet has its own rules.

Each star city-state is an independent country, everyone has a high degree of freedom, and there is no unified leader. The star city state master meeting held every few years is the most important joint meeting among the star cities. The future plan of all mankind is determined in this meeting. Discuss the decision.

However, with the development of religion, a very wonderful thing happened:

In the case of Star City State's high degree of self-control and division and independence, religious organizations have gradually gathered together, the total number of religions has decreased, and the number of believers has increased. These believers have been classified into a limited number of large religious systems. Today, the number of large religions is still dwindling.

A new system with a large scale, strict probabilities, and standardized organization gradually took shape.

Their believers are all over the star cities, and their organizations are also all over the star cities. There are small-scale interactions between believers almost every week, and large-scale activities in star cities every month. When other star cities hardly interfere with each other, this The huge organization has deeply penetrated into the lives of ordinary people, and the flat organizational structure allows their teachings to be delivered to every believer as quickly as possible.

With a compassionate savior attitude, they grow softly in the eternal tower.

In the 320th year of the Chaos Calendar, there were only two religions left in the tower.

They are just two branches of the same religion due to different teachings and ideas.

The East Hengguang Sect, the West Hengguang Sect, and the Star City-State Alliance that had existed for many years have become the largest human organizations in Sky City.

However, at this time, whether it is the East Hengguang Sect or the West Hengguang Sect, they are still religious organizations in essence. Due to the expansion of their power, their power has indeed become larger and larger, and the power they possess has indeed given them a sense of belonging in the secular world. Their own things, but they did not really extend their tentacles into the secular power struggle.

At the same time, the Alliance of Star City States finally realized the situation that the continuation of this power might lead to, and they began to jointly and comprehensively suppress the continued expansion of religious organizations.

The Hengguang Sect, which was originally a huge thing, was even oppressed to the point where it was almost disbanded.

until that man appeared.

Ashishvi Methtar.

This taciturn boy was almost born "to defend the last glory of God in the human world".

He is smart, simple, temperate...almost all good adjectives can be attached to him.

He is naturally aloof, and almost anyone who comes into contact with him feels a sense of distance.

It's not a sense of distance between people, it's more like...a sense of distance between people and gods - many believers who have come into contact with him have expressed such excitement.

No one knows where he came from. He has no father and no mother. He grew up alone in a foster home under the shelter of a religion, and then he entered a religious academy naturally. He is very smart, a kind of intelligence that far exceeds human cognition , easily admitted to

The highest college under the administration of the Church - Yellifania College.

Because he was too good, he was brought into his camp by Cardinal De Baron before graduation. As his right-hand man, he made great contributions to the development of Dongheng Guangjiao. After De Baron's accidental death, He took over all his power and the huge camp behind him at a young age!

In the year 369 of the Chaos Calendar, Ashishvi Messertal accomplished what his mentor, his predecessor, and De Baron had not accomplished:

In the meeting of cardinals of Donghengguang Sect, he was unanimously approved and elected as the bishop of Donghengguang Sect!

Without any title, Dongheng Guangjiao can have countless prefixes to represent archbishops of various positions, but there can only be one person who can be called a bishop.

In the year 379 of the Chaos Calendar, Ashishvi Messertar once again created a miracle.

He was elected as the joint bishop of the two branch sects in the joint archbishop conference jointly held by the Eastern and Western Hengguang Sects!

Elected unanimously again!

And this time, he really did a great thing that has never been done before: unifying the two religions that have been divided for a long time!He also became the bishop of two religions!

This has never happened, so that people feel that the title "bishop" does not express the supremacy of this office at all!

then--

In the year 380 of the Chaos Calendar, Ashishvi Messertal became the "Pope".

With no previous pope, he crowned himself.

After that day, people officially called him "Your Majesty".

In this era, there is only one "Your Majesty".
