Little by little, No. 5 Tang Qi changed from a "handsome young man" to an old man, his body was old and weak, and he did not have the slightest fighting aura on his body, but his eyes seemed to be able to see the world and shone with wisdom.

He was born, looked at his body, smiled gently, brightly, and stepped onto the ship of the fool.

Just as the "No. 5 Tang Qi" boarded the ship, a mark suddenly lit up on the back of Tang Qi's hand.

That's a cute little blue octopus!

This mark broke away from the back of Tang Qi's main hand in the light, and slowly fell on the back of the hand of "No. 5 Tang Qi".

Tang Qi, dressed as a wise man, watched the mark of the monarch's octopus come up.

The probe took off the ship's lamp, and with a light tap of the wooden staff, the swaying Fool's ship immediately cocked its bow and crashed into the void, and before it disappeared, Tang Qi heard the voice of the old version of himself, which was as gentle as a spring breeze.

"I'll bring back the little ones, as many as I can, they look cute. ”

On the Beckfast chair, Tang Qi, who was comforted by his doppelganger, smiled, but quickly retreated.

In the next second, a divine object appeared in front of him.

Thorns of Truth!

Originating from the thorn lord Raphael, as long as Tang Qi is willing, he can communicate directly with Raphael with his thoughts.

With the friendship between the two, as long as he asks for help, Raphael will definitely lend a hand.

But in the end, Don Qi didn't move.

The thorns slowly faded, and his gaze fell back on the "Fable of True Love" through the phantom.

His reading progress is still stuck in "Paradise of Desire: The Blood Wedding", which presents a page at the most critical moment in the marriage of Ispatrani, the god of fertility, to a certain master...... Flora, who has arrived long ago but has never appeared, only appears to question Ispatrani at the moment when she is about to "take the oath", triggering a war that engulfs the gods.

Suddenly, Tang Qi's expression froze slightly, and he understood something.

"Pinning my two doppelgangers was just a trivial temptation. ”

"The time when the so-called 'Hidden Web' will really be activated will be in ......"

"January 10 marks the official beginning of a new era of transcendence. ”

......

January 9, New Calendar, Central Cathedral, Federal City of Carthage.

Beyond the ornate and majestic halls of the Great Hall, in the deepest part of the church, a somewhat cramped, shabby room, but now filled with holy light.

This is the "Holy Hall", the first room for prayer at the time of the establishment of the headquarters of the Church in the New World.

There have been many holy miracles, light and thorns have descended, the warm Mother Light has been sprinkled, the oracle of salvation has been promulgated here, and the Word of Order has been sounded here...... In addition to these miracles, there are also many otherworldly gossip legends that are also the source here.

For example, St. Confessor Martin Sims and St. Sister Teresa often quarreled here, even fighting under the watchful eyes of the gods of the Light camp.

Of course, none of these gossip churches will admit it.

Especially after the separation and opposition of the two brothers of Light and Thorn, it is strictly forbidden to talk about thorns within the church.

At this moment, for the first time, there was an empty seat in the "long table for sharing" in the Holy Hall.

Created from the first white oak tree cut down by the first missionaries who set foot in the New World, the long table is rough and raw, but it has become a holy relic with the passage of time and the long bathing in holy light.

It initially has six seats, corresponding to the Lord of Light, the Lord of Thorns, the Mother of Light, the Goddess of Order, the Son of Saviour, and the "Gods of Light".

The gods under the light refer to Adilu, the god of weather, Gado, the god of fertility, and Minanatha, the god of plague and death...... These are all weak gods who voluntarily belong to the camp of light, and their divine realm is very fragile, and their divine authority cannot be compared with that of the righteous gods.

Among the "ten thousand spirits" above the mystery, this kind of weak god is the majority.

The last seat is shared by the gods.

Today, the seat belonging to Raphael is vacant.

At this moment, they were all in their seats, and the "figures" shrouded in holy light controlled themselves not to look at that position.

Chuck Mario Christians, dressed in golden robes and wearing a crown of light, sat in the center of the long table, bathed in a warm and holy light, and in a voice of great majesty he issued an oracle from the "Lord":

"Ladies and gentlemen, before dawn comes, gather all your warriors...... We are on our way to a foreign land, and we will wage war against the 'betrayers' in that cold and ancient battlefield, under the watchful eye of the Lord, a holy war that will not allow defeat, even if we die, we will never retreat. ”

The new pope spat out the oracle, and the light and shadow of the rest of the seats trembled.

Inside the light and shadow, there was an old nun, an old knight in bright armor, a black-robed lady who exuded an aura of justice, and a priest with a complicated expression.

The old nun, who represented the "Mother of Light", had a sad and pitiful look on her face, and she hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:

"Your Majesty, after dawn is a special day. ”

"The Origin Star will officially enter the Transcendent Age, and there will inevitably be chaos, evil faction organizations, or some shady evil gods who will come out to cause trouble. ”

"If all the warriors of light leave the Origin Star at this time, then ......"

The old nun did not finish her words, but the delegates present instantly understood what was going on.

January 10th!

This is not only the time of the Condor Federation's plan to reveal the existence of the mysterious side to hundreds of millions of people, but the origin star countries will also do similar things on this day.

After dawn tomorrow, televised speeches, newspaper headlines, public propaganda, declassified materials...... The strange and terrifying, but infinitely wonderful transcendent world, will be completely displayed in front of the billions of people in the origin star.

There is no doubt that this day will become a time node such as "Hanukkah", "Dark Day", "Ignorance Doom", etc., which will be recorded in history, epics, and even myths.

You don't have to guess to know that the guys in the chaotic evil camp won't miss the opportunity to cause trouble on this day.

In fact, the major powers have already arranged plans for response.

In the plan of the Condor Federation, the Church of Light is an indispensable part.

But now, Chuck Mario Chrisworth, the new pope, has said that he will transfer all his warriors to a foreign land to fight a war.

Not only did the old nun who represented the Mother of Light object, but the rest of the delegates also showed embarrassment.

In addition to the embarrassment of the special date of "January 10", what made them even more helpless was what the Pope called the "war in a foreign land".

He didn't say it explicitly, but everyone in the sanctuary knew it.

That war refers to the battle between the Light Camp and the revived Thorn Camp.

It's a ...... The Brothers' War.

In fact, almost all the transcendent beings in the transcendent world know that there will be a battle between the two "dominant brothers" of Light and Thorn.

From the ending of the "Great Thorn Event", which ended not too long, it can be inferred that there was some unknown dispute between the Lord of Light and the Lord of Thorns during the Cataclysm.

Raphael, the Lord of Thorns, broke away from the Camp of Light and resurrected his former partners who had died in battle and lost control, and is now independent as the "Camp of Thorns of Truth", a newly born force among all souls.

The light had said that He would wait for the thorns to re-ascend the holy mountain, and at the top of that mountain, ask for His forgiveness.

Conventional understanding, this phrase means that the light will not take the initiative to start a war against thorns.

But now, the light seems to be ...... Repented?

With Charles I as the "Holy Spirit behind him", Chuck Mario Christians, who is already a god on earth, clearly felt the doubts in everyone's hearts and the resistance of the old nun.

This is normal, the old nun represents the Mother of Light.

The kind and benevolent "Mother Goddess of Light" is naturally unwilling to watch her two children go to war.

Chuck tilted his head slightly, staring at the old nun in the holy light with solemn eyes, and his calm but irresistible majesty sounded:

"I have sprinkled my blood on thorns, and in it is my courage, strength, and wisdom...... I will allow my brother to leave, but only when I have taken back my holy blood will my brother wake up and he will eventually go up to the holy mountain and ask for my forgiveness. ”

At this point, Chuck paused.

When the people in the Holy Hall fell into thought, he said again: "This is not a cruel war, this is a merciful war washed in blood. ”

"The glory of the Lord is above all, and the many afflictions that lie ahead are trials, trials, and only the godly Lamb can bask in the holy and majestic light. ”

After the last sentence was spoken, several people in the seats of the Holy Table fell silent.

The Pope has made it clear that this is not a war to break promises.

The Lord of Light does not mean to address the Lord of Thorns, he simply wants to take back the "Holy Blood" that He bestowed on Thorns in the Ancient Ages.

It makes sense, like those couples who break up, to take back the gifts they once gave each other.

As for the people who may encounter doom on January 10, the phrase "the test of the Lord" has the final word, and no one can refute it.

In the face of this "oracle", even the old nun who represents the mother goddess cannot object.

After a few seconds of silence, she had to let out a sigh in her heart, and then bowed her head slightly, and said in a voice full of pity: "As you wish, His Majesty the Pope." ”

"As you wish, His Majesty. ”

The rest of the representatives, at the same time, interface channel.

In the next second, their holy light figures faded away.

Almost at the same time, the "Church of Light", which was shrouded in night, suddenly began to operate, and it was different from any other time in the past.

To conquer foreign lands, even the Church, it is necessary to mobilize almost all forces. In addition to the army of the Lord of Light, the followers of the dozens of gods who have remained silent in the past several major events, the Followers of the Mother of Light, the Son of Savior, the Goddess of Order, and the Gods of Light, began to assemble at the same time on this night.

An "army of light" that has ravaged hundreds of millions of countries in the Dark Age and killed countless evil gods is about to set out.
