The evening breeze was cold, blowing the clouds in the sky. Over the Atlantic Ocean, Hao Miao sat on a cloud, a cloud of liquid in front of him exuding the fragrance of fine wine. He sucked it in, and the fluid turned into a stream of water that flowed into his mouth.

"You're coming so fast!"

Hao Miao's words were for the people behind him, but he didn't look back.

Under the starlight, five white and distorted holy lights lit up, and when the light stabilized, five more people, four men and one woman, appeared, one of whom held a scepter and wore a bishop's crown.

"Mr. Hao Miao is really powerful, and my Holy Sect's highest-level hiding technique can't escape your eyes. ”

"The Light Clan's method of hiding is just to deceive people's eyes, I am observing the world with my heart. Nikolai, I didn't expect you to come in person, but for my artifact?"

The old man in the middle was none other than the current Pope of the Holy Church, Nicholas VII, and the four people around him were the four priests of the Holy Religion of the Sun, Moon, Star, and Shadow.

"You are so rude that you don't need honorifics to speak to the Pope. ”

The woman of the five was none other than the High Priestess of the Moon, and she had never seen anyone call the Pope by his name.

"Polite? I justifiably won the reward of your Holy Sect, and you are chasing after you at this time, is this rude?"

"You!"

The High Priest of the Moon was about to retort, but Pope Nicholas stopped her, "We're here just to find out what the slate you won away is. It has been stored in my Holy Sect for thousands of years, and we have not found anything special about it, so I hope you can tell us. Seeing that you have been waiting here, don't you want to say something to us?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for you. ”

The clouds under Hao Miao spun in a circle, allowing him to face the five people, "Do you know the three forms of the artifact?"

There was a burst of surprise on the faces of the five Holy Sect members, they had never heard of the three forms of the artifact.

Hao Miao didn't wait for them to ask, and continued, "The difference between an artifact and a weapon is that it has a soul, and this soul is the soul of the ancestors of the Nine Clans. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the High Priest of the Moon interrupted, "Hmph! I've heard of this saying, it's the Nine Shadows. If you are really a member of the Nine Shadows, is your entire Star Floating Island the one that was established by the Nine Shadows?"

"This beautiful girl, please let me finish my sentence. The first form of the artifact is the 'material form', like the scepter in the Pope's hand. The Pope is a member of the Light Clan, and the scepter is also the embodiment of the predecessor of the Light Clan, and people of the same clan can activate part of the power of the artifact, but this is not what you call the Lord. The artifacts are all your seniors, how can a senior recognize a junior as the master?"

"Nonsense!" the High Priest of the Moon looked disdainful.

The Pope gave her a faint look, "Let him finish." ”

"The second form, in your words, is the 'energy form'. Descendants who have been recognized by their ancestors can unleash the wonderful spells in the artifact, which are all spells that the ancestors were good at when they were alive. ”

Speaking of this, Hao Miao glanced at the Pope, "Hundreds of years ago, I saw that your scepter was in the form of energy in the hands of the previous pope, but now, it has become a material form in your hands. ”

As soon as these words came out, the five members of the Holy Sect all looked at the scepter in the Pope's hand, and all five of them knew the power of the "Scepter of Truth" in the hands of the previous Pope. Thinking about it carefully at this time, what Hao Miao said seems to have some truth.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Nikolai's eyes, "Mr. Hao Miao, you are only in your early thirties, why do you say that you met the former Pope hundreds of years ago? Could it be that you concealed your real age and participated in the God Cup in violation of regulations?"

Hao Miao smiled lightly, "Have you ever heard of reincarnation? More than thirty years ago, my physical body had reached its limit, that is, I died, and now I am a new student, and it is not wrong to say that I am in my thirties." Don't forget, I passed the Mu Clan's master investigation, and I'm not yet thirty-one years old. ”

The Pope was silent after hearing this, not knowing what he was thinking, he no longer dwelled on the question of age, and instead asked a question that he wanted to know more, "You just said that the Scepter of Truth was the second form in the hands of the former Pope, so why is it the first form in my hands?"

"Hehe, this is an artifact that doesn't recognize you and doesn't want to fight for you. ”

"You are talking nonsense! Since the appointment of the Pope, my Holy Religion has become more and more powerful, and one-sixth of the people in this world are my Holy Sect, how can the Scepter of Truth not recognize the Pope?"

This time it was the High Priest of Shadows who retorted to Haomiao, who had six pairs of black feathered wings behind him. In the night light, the wings were dark and shiny, and they seemed full of power.

"If you want to be recognized by your ancestors, it is not how many merits you have made, but whether what you do is in line with the ideas of your ancestors. ”

"The idea of the ancestors?" the Pope wondered.

"Yes. Selfless, brave, and world-minded, he dares to sacrifice himself to protect his people. ”

"I can do what you say. ”

"No, you haven't done it yet. The clan refers to the nine clans, refers to all mankind, you just regard the people who are loyal to you as the clan, what you do is control, not love. I am waiting for you here today because I think you have not lost your courage and are still saved. The world may be facing a catastrophe, and if it happens, I hope you will think more about your people at that time. ”

"You here's not talking nonsense, you here's a pagan. "The High Priest of Shadow thinks that Hao Miao's words are a serious insult to the Pope.

The Pope didn't look at it, and was silent for a while before speaking again, "You haven't said anything about the third form of the artifact. ”

Hao Miao's expression was solemn, "The third form is also the final form, I call it 'Heroic Soul'. The appearance of this form is often a very good fit between the artifact and the descendants, which is not only the fit of the concept, but also the fit of the personality, as if seeing the former self in the younger generations. At this time, the artifact will merge with the descendants, and even if a mortal obtains the 'Heroic Soul', his strength will increase by leaps and bounds, reproducing the demeanor of the ancestors. ”

"Is there anyone in the world who can do it?"

"Yes, you've all met just now, Mai Miku. ”

Surprise appeared on the faces of the five members of the Holy Sect, and after thinking about it carefully, Hao Miao's theory seemed to explain Mai's future strength.

Hao Miao continued: "If what I expected is right, Nangong Yulun is also fused with a certain powerful artifact. This is a rare occurrence, but I saw both of them at once, which may be a sign that something is going to happen in the world. ”

"As you say, the two slabs merge with you?" the Pope's mind was still on the two slates.

"No, they just recognized me and showed a second form. You don't imagine what they are, only those who have the world in mind can make them look their entirety. ”

After speaking, Hao Miao stretched out his hands. The light of the stars gathered on his left hand, and ink-colored ancient characters appeared on his right hand.

"This is not what it really is, it is far more powerful than you think, it can no longer be called an artifact, it is a sacred object that protects humanity. ”

The five Holy Sect members felt a force commanding the world in the hands of Hao Miao's left and right, especially the Pope, who clearly felt that the scepter in his hand was also surrendering to the things in Hao Miao's left and right hands.

With a cold gaze, the Pope looked at the four people around him, and said to Hao Miao in a low voice, "You participated in the Fengshen Cup in violation of regulations, this matter is pending our investigation, and please return the reward first." ”

"Hahahaha, even if I return it to you, it is just an ordinary stone slab in your hands. I am here to tell you that the real enemy is coming, and that you will be able to guide those who believe in you. ”

"Hmph, we will care about the people of the world. However, such a powerful artifact should not be in your hands, you Xingfu Island has been hiding in the shadows, who knows what you are trying to doom, and you still want to mislead us with doomsday rhetoric. ”

The Pope finally changed his face, and he was about to make a move. Hao Miao's face also showed a fierceness, "I'm afraid you don't know who I am!"
