Chapter 16 The Sect of the Holy Light

"Holy light is above, may God's glory shine on the Milky Way forever. I would like to repent of the crimes I committed, and contribute to stop all imbalances until I am on my way home, returning to God's side..."

Charlie's prayers brought Warren back from the deep shock.Various sounds of panic or surprise came from the communicator at the same time, and some people even burst into tears.Then the voice of prayer overwhelmed all others. Whether they believed it or not, almost all the people on earth present began to praise the omnipotent holy light.This made Warren frown.

Ever since man took his first step off the planet, their original religion has paled.Mechanical civilization defeated unprovable beliefs for a while, until people discovered that the spiritual void brought about by interstellar travel can drive them crazy.With the rapid growth of the number of colonies, several foreign religions gradually occupied people's spiritual life.Most of them have a long history and great power, and some can even be connected with various signs that have appeared in the universe, which makes them more convincing than the original religion of the earth people.

The Sect of the Holy Light is undoubtedly the sect that has the greatest influence on the people on Earth. Statistics show that 17% of the people on Earth believe in the Sect of the Holy Light, and more than 65% of the people on Earth hold the sect in awe.The core of the Sect of the Holy Light is composed of twelve archbishops, and the earthlings are only lucky enough to have had contact with two of them.The believers of the Holy Light believe that the universe we see now is only a small part of a larger universe.God in the big universe projects his own projection onto the world where believers live, and this projection is the incarnation of God.Through him, God persuades believers to maintain the energy balance in the universe, so as to prolong the life of the universe in which they live.The believers of the Holy Light believe that any intelligent life, only when he dies in a state of physical and mental balance, can his spirit return to the incarnation of God.When the universe is destroyed, the incarnation of God will lead the souls around him to leave the current universe, reach a higher level, become a member of the great universe, and obtain permanent spiritual balance with God.

Warren once read information about the Holy Light Sect on the Lightyear website. This sect is a typical idealist sect. They value spiritual power very much. Some powerful believers can even use spiritual power to distort the material world. It is one of the uses of spiritual power.Within the radiance, all animate and inanimate objects are subject to the mental restraint of the spellcaster.Because this technique is usually used to prevent war or killing, it is called the light of forbidden martial arts by the people on earth.

"I am Ulysses, Archbishop of the Holy Light Sect. I am sorry that I have to stop this war. I have enough reasons to do so. Soon, my ship will land on a planet not far from here, Each of you is welcome to listen to my explanation."

The voice from the communicator startled Warren.It's not surprising that the other party can cut into their channel at will, he just didn't expect that it would be one of the twelve archbishops!You must know that under the archbishop of the Holy Light Sect, there are a series of titles such as cardinal, archbishop, bishop, regional head, and head of the church. Just the bishop level is already a big person to look up to.

After receiving this message, the vast majority of Earthlings began to regroup spontaneously.Whether it is due to religious considerations or strength considerations, this war must be terminated immediately.In the crowd, several earthlings who had just killed their red eyes, including Jonny, all looked confused.Affected by the light of the Forbidden Martial Arts, it was impossible for them to raise their fighting spirit, so they walked together in a daze, throwing their weapons on the ground at will.Others, represented by Charlie, are believers of the Holy Light.At this moment, their faces were full of yearning for divine power and deep remorse for the killing.A few of them even started to put out the flames for the Clarked people who were still struggling in the flames.Some of the remaining people began to worry secretly, when the victory of the war was about to be won, would the sudden appearance of the archbishop turn the situation around in an instant?

Only Warren, after analyzing the teachings of the Holy Light Sect, felt that the other party's purpose was probably the same as his own, so he was not worried at all.He and Lan found a fairly clean place to sit down, waiting for the spaceship to come to pick them up.

Preventing one kind of intelligent life from being wiped out by another kind of intelligent life should also belong to the category of maintaining the energy balance of the universe.Warren thought about it for a while, and felt that if he were the archbishop of the Holy Light, he would not be willing to see the earthlings become the only intelligent life in the universe.

It wasn't until the coalition forces boarded the spaceship that came to meet them and left the Clarke base that the light of forbidden martial arts gradually disappeared.Warren watched the process from the spacecraft's screen.The soft yet powerful purple radiance slowly shrunk from covering half the planet to only a little bit, and then disappeared completely.Whether it is its unproven power or its beautiful appearance, it is enough to make people associate it with the word miracle, and even Warren can't help but want to sing its sacredness.

Soon, everyone felt a signal.This is not a specific signal that can be displayed, but an experience beyond the five senses.Warren sees a spaceship.It looks a bit like a big bird flying with spread wings, its whole body is pure white, only a small part between the two wings is dark purple.Purple is the color of the archbishop, and this spaceship is undoubtedly the ship of Archbishop Ulysses.Judging from the picture, it is very likely to be a large spaceship, or even a very large spaceship.Warren watched it touch down on a yellow planet, and then the signal died.

The people on Earth looked at each other in blank dismay. They all knew that this signal was an invitation from Ulysses, but at the same time they were a little afraid to move forward.

"I suggest that we send a few representatives to meet the archbishop." Warren suggested, he noticed the hesitation on Jonny's face, "Although we did kill a little too much just now, it did not violate the federal law, presumably the archbishop You can understand our anger at being trapped for so long for no reason."

"But... what if he wants to sanction us?" Johnny, the interim commander, trembled his lips.

"If he wants to sanction us, he should do it before we withdraw. I think His Majesty just wants to give us an explanation. This is a friendly invitation. If we don't go, I believe this matter will It will pass quickly, and the crocodile will not stay here anymore. But why should we let go of the opportunity to talk face-to-face with the Archbishop? At the very least, we can also express our determination to maintain the balance of the universe."

Most people breathed a sigh of relief at Warren's words.But think about it, although the power of the Holy Light Sect archbishop is enough to crush this area, but such severe sanctions have never happened in history.One-sixth of the people on Earth believe in the Sect of the Holy Light, and there has been a precedent for people on Earth to be promoted to the archbishop, so generally speaking, the relationship between the people on Earth and the Sect of the Holy Light is quite harmonious.Although the earthlings were at fault this time, it shouldn't cause the archbishop to blame, right?

In the end, people recommended five people headed by Warren and Charlie to go to the planet where the archbishop's ship landed.Lan was fortunate to be the only robot among the five because of Warren's insistence.Johnny didn't join the audience. He was always afraid of being held accountable.Half an hour after receiving the invitation, five brave souls set off in a tiny spaceship.

Two hours later, Warren saw the archbishop's ship with his own eyes.Only when there is a real size comparison, can you see how huge the spaceship is.The miniature spaceship was like a speck of dust in front of her. Warren estimated that her size would exceed the sum of the four large spaceships. No wonder the Archbishop chose this planet as the landing site. None of the planets occupied by the Clarkids had enough space for such a thing. A large spaceship landed.

A beam of purple light guides the spaceship of the earthlings to land on the surface of the planet.The five audience members followed a mud ball-like life form and boarded a shuttle-shaped airship. After about 10 minutes, they came to a newly built altar.The altar looks a bit like a Mayan pyramid on Earth, with a slightly lower height.

Warren raised his head, and he saw many grotesque beings gathering on the top of the altar. They should be the members of the practice group who followed the archbishop and were ready to listen to teachings at any time.A few minutes later, an alien who looked like the people on Earth, but with an extra head, stepped down from the altar and led them up.There is a small platform on the top of the altar, although the space is not large, about one or two hundred aliens from different planets have already gathered.On the stone platform about half a meter high in the middle, stood a man in a long robe.

He was almost as tall as Lan, but much thinner.He wears a purple crown on his head, and some columnar crystals are inlaid on his white robe, and he seems to be wearing crystal earrings of similar shape on his ears covered by long silver hair.His chin is very sharp, and the facial features on his face are more beautiful than most people on earth. It is a suffocating natural beauty close to the golden ratio.I don't know if it was born, but his lips are purple, the pupil standing in the center of the colorless eyeball is purple, and even the long nails on his hands are also purple.Warren noticed that the shape of his palms was slightly longer than that of Earthlings.

"Welcome, my earthling friends! My name is Ulysses, and I come for peace."

Ulysses glanced at the five attendees one by one, paused for a moment when he saw Lan, and then, when his gaze fell on Warren, he suddenly shook violently.The believers around him screamed in different languages, and a man wrapped in a red robe rushed forward to hold Ulysses' arm, while bowing his head to apologize to him.

After a few seconds, Ulysses seemed to regain his composure.He smiled at everyone: "Sorry for worrying you, I'm fine."

Warren was amazed by the scene.You must know that there is no such thing as a general election for the twelve archbishops. They directly receive the blessing of the incarnation of God. Their lives are almost eternal, and at least they can be equal to the lives of this universe.As an archbishop, he is physically weak, which is really unbelievable.At this moment, he had no idea that the abnormality shown by Ulysses was closely related to him.

"My earthling friends, I'm sorry that I have to interrupt your war with the Clarke. You may already know that the reason why they occupied that area for a long time is because they need the special environment there to reproduce the next generation But you can rest assured that I have reached a consensus with the leader of the Clarked Stars, they will evacuate there as soon as possible, and it is estimated that after three Earth days, you will be able to use that area again."

Ulysses paused, and continued: "Here I have to explain the reason why I intervene in this matter. The Clarkeds lost their home planet as early as 1200 years ago. The destruction of the home star has a great impact on It's a disaster for any kind of intelligent life, but it's especially bad for the Clarked people. I know that most people on Earth have the misconception that they don't care about their home planet. But it's not the case Yes, they are essentially inseparable from that planet. Clarked star people need a special magnetic field to breed the next generation, which is only available in their home planet. 1200 years ago, those who escaped from the disaster were divided into seven Branches, moving in seven directions, trying to find a planet in the universe with a magnetic field similar to their parent star. They must find such a planet, or face extinction. They travel with some eggs, so as to make up for the years lost population. Unfortunately, they have not been able to find a suitable planet. The number of eggs is getting smaller and smaller, but they must maintain the population required for the spacecraft to fly, because they use a special organ in their bodies to provide magnetic energy for the spacecraft. Insufficient number of people in a spaceship will cause the speed of the ship to drop. Now, four of the seven Clarke Germans have disappeared in the long river of time, and the remaining two have confirmed that there is no possibility of continuing to the next generation. Extinct. Only this one finally found a planet that is very similar to their parent star here. They collectively transformed the magnetic field on this planet, making it possible to reproduce on it. But this is just a stopgap measure, At best, this planet can only guarantee that they can successfully conceive when they adopt the method of burning life to reproduce their offspring. They must continue to travel until they find a planet that can completely replace the parent star. I believe you have already discovered that almost all adult Clarke Des. Life is coming to an end. In two days at most, they will die collectively. After that, their leader will leave with eggs, hatch a part of them, use their own bodies as food, and start the next Circular search. These eggs bought them about 400 years. In order to maintain the balance of cosmic energy, it is my responsibility to keep this last Klakdid from being destroyed in the war, which is why I am here. I also hope that you can understand me and finally adopt peaceful means to resolve this matter."

The words of the archbishop convinced all the people on earth, and they immediately expressed their support and understanding.On the one hand, their goal has been achieved, and there is no need to entangle with the crocodile any longer.On the other hand, the archbishop's condescending explanation made them feel greatly honored and favored, and it would be too unreasonable to stalk them.After reaching an agreement with the archbishop, the purpose of this audience was basically achieved.

Charlie bid farewell to the archbishop on behalf of the people on Earth. Warren is very interested in the spaceship of the Holy Light, but he also knows that conditions do not allow him to stay in this place for a long time.Just when he thought he could go back, he suddenly found that everyone around him was surrounded by a shaking purple light.People maintained their original postures as if they were frozen, without blinking their eyes.

"Blue!" Warren tried to pull on Lan's arm, but his hand passed through Lan's image.It felt almost as if everything around him was a projection of nothingness and only he was real.

It's not the Light of Forbidden Martial Arts, what the hell is this?

"Don't worry, everything you see is just that I used my mental power to control the flow of time."

Warren looked up in surprise, and now Ulysses was standing in front of him.The archbishop with long purple nails held out his hand to him.

"Come on, my friend, I want to talk to you alone."

"My pleasure." Warren smiled and took the archbishop's long and narrow palm.
