The sudden death of the High Priest plunged the planet into an unprecedented crisis in Velland, with various natural disasters* occurring one after another.

"My teacher could have temporarily taken over the position of high priest through ritual to quell the calamities that had come to an end. However, the king and the woman hid the body of the high priest and put all the blame on the high priest, saying that he had tried to defile the goddess, which caused the gods to be dissatisfied, and demanded that the temple hand over the means of transferring the divine power. โ€

"Goddess? That woman again? โ€

"Yes."

Byrne scoffed, the more infamous he is, the more he likes to make up a name for himself.

The priest touched a special formation on the mural, and that formation was the only thing on the entire mural that did not project a three-dimensional figure, "My teacher took the elites in the temple and the ritual book to the royal city, but it is also gone. โ€

"I don't understand." Byrne was surprised, "According to you, your high priest is your heaven, and he suddenly has an accident, and you don't think about what happened to him, and you believe what others say, and you give away such an important thing?" โ€

"Because I've never been deceived. I don't believe anyone would lie to the temple either. The priest stared at the frescoes on the temple and shamefully admitted his own mistake and that of the temple as a whole, "It is strange that the woman seems to have a special ability in her, and what she says is always very convincing. At first, we didn't believe it, but when all the people pointed the finger at the temple, saying that the high priest had sinned and that the temple was wrong, the teacher hesitated, thinking that the high priest was still alive, and that all the problems could be solved by going to the royal city to persuade the high priest to step down early. โ€

But who knows, when he arrived in the royal city, the woman snatched the ritual book and used it on herself. The woman wasn't even from Verland, and the ritual book naturally didn't have any effect on her. But she thought that my teacher had deceived her, and she turned her mind on the departing priests, who had disappeared and died in the city and their families, and then those who lived in seclusion in the jungle and in the mines. โ€

"All the events had happened so suddenly, and by the time we had reacted wrong, the people had already convinced the king's account in the successive calamities, and in the unprovoked deaths of the departed and would-be priests. Even those who are willing to believe in the temple will be dragged into a cage and whipped to death by crazy people. โ€

"The whole of Verlan is no longer the planet we remember, and there are no longer relatives, friends, brothers, and sisters standing opposite us, who have crossed the mines through the dense forest to the temple, each with bloodthirsty hatred on their faces." The priest repented as he recalled the last period of his life, and a little tear glistened in his eyes, and he had fallen into the most poignant memories.

Byrne didn't interrupt him again, but quietly listened to him.

"On the day when the succession ceremony was supposed to take place, the light was sprinkled on the ceremony book to form a pure white ladder to the sky. The woman stepped on the sacred ladder, and the light poured down through her hair, turning the pure white ladder into a rainbow, and the cheers of the people rang out as she walked towards the sky, celebrating that she would gain the power of the planet as mysterious and great, and the king stood in front of all and laughed obsessively. โ€

"At that time, I was standing outside the temple with the other young priests and watching this scene from afar, while the old men were burning their lives in the temple and running a formation that we did not know. As the mountains shook for a while, the temple soared into the air like a spaceship. I watched the temple fly higher and higher, higher than the 'goddess', higher than the white clouds. There was a desolation in the temple, and many people said that we could never go back, that the world did not need us anymore, that we had been abandoned by Verland. But I'm a little glad that I don't have to be my father's brother and sister anymore. Perhaps it is best to back down and leave. โ€

"The cry sounded from all around me, and I don't remember if I wept that day, except that suddenly a fire bloomed in the clouds. I heard that when the 'goddess' was about to reach the top of the ladder, a fire suddenly burned around her, and the spark fell on the ladder and burned more and more, all the way to the sea. The earth burned from the inside out, and no one woke up until that moment, some people tried to flee to other places with spaceships, and some people bowed and prayed to the floating temple, but it was too late. โ€

"We ran towards the temple with our lives, wanting to tell the old men what had happened, and wanting to go back. There was no trace of the old men in the temple, only the frescoes on the walls and the silence. We didn't know how to stop and go back, and we couldn't stop the disaster, so we had to watch our planet fall into flames, and even if a starship rushed out of the fire, it would soon be swept back into the fire by the heat wave and air currents......"

The tears in the sacrificial eyes finally overflowed uncontrollably, and the coolness of Xu was now that made him get out of his memory, and after raising his hand to wipe away the tears, he nodded apologetically to Byrne.

Byrne didn't feel anything, and motioned for the priest to continue. Joy, anger, sorrow, and sorrow, human nature, although there is no answer that Byrne particularly cares about in this passage said by the priest, but it is normal for people to be a little uncontrollable when it comes to emotion, and he can't ask everyone to speak the same as a report, and give him the most simple and clear answer, which will only make Byrne feel that the answer may have been prepared by someone in advance, which is too false.

Perhaps it is also because of this episode that the words after the sacrifice are much simpler. Matter and * will die, but energy is eternal in the universe, and the special powers possessed by the Verlanders, such as supernatural abilities, beasts, and souls, were all ejected in a quantum form into the three galaxy groups closest to Verland when the planet was destroyed, which is now known as the Heim Empire, the Chuyun Republic and the Orc Federation.

Probably because the physical laws of the formation of these three galaxy groups are different, or it may be that the life forms in the three galaxies absorb and express this energy in different ways, and finally the three types of energy are expressed in the form of being classified. The people in the three places finally have three different powers, but the โ–กโ–ก is that the people in the three galaxies all have mental power that they originally did not have because of this quantum radiation, and the strength of the mental power is also closely related to the strength of the three abilities.

After hearing this, Byrne already knew that this statement of sacrifice coincided with the "77 conjecture" proposed by Einste, the most outstanding scientist of the empire, and he happened to discuss this matter with Lin Yun when they first met, so he still remembers it very clearly.

As for the part about the phantom beast, the sacrifice has not yet described it, and Byrne has already guessed the approximately. After the explosion of the planet, the temple landed on a planet in the orc galaxy, because it was an alien species, the sacrifices were not accepted by the orc federation, and were described as alien beasts, phantom beasts, and became the target of other orcs because of their beautiful appearance. At the same time, because of their original beliefs and physical problems, they were weakened from generation to generation in the process of continuous internal intermarriage and reproduction, and finally perished like their planet.

"So what is this place? And on the other side of the cliff......" The mural had long since come to an end, and Byrne had to follow the footsteps of the sacrifice to move outward again, and when he went to the outskirts, he suddenly found that the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing the green grass, and a slight fragrance wafted in the air. What should have been a desolation full of land has unexpectedly added countless vitality. The young beasts rolled in the grass, the half-beastly boy tilted his head to look at him beside the priest, and even a young man in a white robe passed by him and saluted the priest before walking towards the inside of the temple.

The priest swept away the sorrow from his face, pointed to the green hillside and told Byrne, "This is only a drop in the ocean in your spiritual realm to you, but to us it is the last paradise, the last dream left to us by the temple and the high priest." 166 Reading Network
