Chapter 135: Soul Redemption (I)
“…… May the Lord have mercy on this mourning soul. ”
Roland's prayer did not cease, and after the first baptismal chant, Roland re-chanted: "Rest in peace—"
In the sound of a low prayer, Jasmine, who was pinned to the ground by Roland, quickly weakened.
It wasn't just because of the flame on the sword, but more of the damage came from the baptismal chant Roland chanted.
Although Jasmine has long been tainted by the twilight, at her core, she is still a spirit.
In the face of the baptismal chant that purifies all the dead, she has no ability to resist.
That's why Roland looked down on her before and felt that he could easily push her alone.
Roland has experimented with it before, and although the Word of Mercy feature literally only increases the damage of the dispel, in fact, after obtaining the Word of Compassion, the types of dispels that the priests can dispel have been further increased.
One of the most important details for Roland is that when targeting spirit-type enemies, the dispersal that could only hurt the unjust soul can already dispel neutral souls.
With the damage of chanting-like magic, plus the damage of the words of compassion, as long as Roland can restrain Jasmine from letting her move, it only takes one round of baptismal chanting to make her lose her ability to resist, and two rounds of chanting will directly disperse her.
Of course...... Roland prefers to call it transcendence.
Just as the souls of the deceased who are dispersed by the priests of the gods will eventually enter the kingdom of the gods to be redeemed and receive eternal punishment. The Elder Sleep Master is the Lord of the Underworld, so those who were dispersed by Roland naturally entered the Underworld and began reincarnation.
The priests of these gods have been preaching for a long, long time. How terrible is the situation that those souls who have no faith will fall into when they die—not being able to enter the kingdom of the gods, falling into a never-ending cycle or something. frightened many onlookers who didn't know the truth, so they had to choose a god and believe it first.
And these onlookers don't know that the soul is meant to enter reincarnation.
Under the control of the laws of the Wall of Aum. The bodies of those who died sink and the souls rise.
Corpses that are full of the power of order in their daily workouts are not wasted. After the corpse is naturally decomposed, the power of order that has been filtered by the human body will sink into the earth, all the way to the deepest underground wall of Gaia, as nourishment to fill the hole that has been destroyed by dusk.
The soul, on the other hand, ascends to the walls of Aum and sticks, following the flow of Aum's law to the northernmost poles within seven days, and then to hell.
Subsequently, these souls will be washed of their memories, but they will retain some of their talents in this life. Then reincarnate, eventually return to hell again and leave behind part of your talent again.
These talents will be accumulated from generation to generation, and the power of the entire world will be continuously strengthened in the most primitive way.
And if the souls of future generations are tenacious enough that they can trace back to the very first generation from the talents they inherited from their souls, and reorganize their memories and beliefs from the memories left over from countless generations of previous lives, they will be able to obtain the best parts of all the powers left behind in one go.
This ritual is known as the path of awakening.
Whether it is the repair effect of the corpses on the wall of Gaia, the inheritance of the hundreds of talents of Ya'an from generation to generation, or the power of origin, it is all the preparation of the sages to fight against the Dusk Seed.
Combined with the Wall of Gaia, which creates the effect of ignoring the Dusk Seed and filtering the magic of chaos into the power of order, and the Wall of Aum, which simulates the ecological cycle, the whole system forms a simple but ingenious cycle.
Under the constant repetition of this system. The lives of the tiny sanctuary of the world of Faense will continue to grow until they have the ability to temporarily resist the Dusk Seed and successfully remove the entire world from the universe that has been destroyed by the Dusk Seed.
But since the authority of the Holy One has been stolen by false gods. This cycle is broken.
These false gods themselves are mortal beings with intense greed and personal preferences. They plundered believers for the sake of righteousness and light. Play or use it as a legion reserve to let your priest trick mere mortals into believing in gods with shameful deception. Offering the soul after death.
For this reason, these gods even do not hesitate to pay large sums of money to make deals with the devil. In exchange for the technology of signing a contract in words.
They embedded the one-way contract of soul devotion into their prayers and baptisms, and their followers unwittingly sold the ownership of their souls to these gods.
Once they signed the contract. These deities, after the death of their devotees, are able to see and touch their souls through the walls of Aum.
Just like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, they arbitrarily select the souls of believers and bring those high-quality, originating souls back to their own kingdom of God, while disdainful of those inferior souls and throw them into the cycle of hell.
It only takes a few generations, and this black-hearted method of pulling vegetables and rooting them together has significantly reduced the overall strength of the entire Faense world.
After the good souls with the experience and talent of the ancestors have been plundered from generation to generation, there is basically not much left, but the number of souls infected or mutilated and weakened by the twilight is increasing in a terrible number every year.
This is the reason why there are fewer and fewer Origin Awakeners in the world of Faennes, and the talent of professionals is not as good as the generation - it is not the withering of the great source of magic, nor is it a "Bronze Age" cauldron, but just because those Apocalypse who can successfully awaken the origin have basically been taken away by the gods.
Fortunately, these devils still have points in their hearts, knowing that their boss is sleeping for a long time, and he has not done things too well.
In fact, the contracts used by these gods have been manipulated by the devils.
Even if those high-quality souls hidden in the kingdom of God are transformed into divine guards or divine envoys, their core origins are still encrypted.
These sinners who have stolen the power of the Sages will not have access to the technology of origin in any way.
Moreover, as long as there are priests of the Holy One to disperse these oracles, no matter how big the difference in strength between them is, the fabricated shells of these oracles will directly collapse, and the souls will be directly thrown into hell for reincarnation.
That's why after the fall of the White Tower, there are more and more of those newly-born geniuses.
Because there have been some divine envoys who have been killed by sorcerers or death crows or something, they have been liberated from the control of the gods and returned to the cycle of the world.
It's not just the high-quality souls that have been stolen by the gods—even those infected by the twilight, as long as their souls are not completely transformed into monsters, the priests of the Sages can still reuse their souls.
Among them, the Elder Sleep Tutor has become a leader in this area because of her coverage of the field of expertise.
Unlike the other two priests of the Sages, who could only crush these diseased souls into raw materials for reuse, the priests of the Sleeping Mentor could precisely cut off the infected ingredients.
It's like digging up the sprouts of a pota potato—
"Thy sins shall be oiled and sealed," Roland's second baptismal chant was finally coming to an end, and the feathers that covered Jasmine shone with an almost brilliant silver brilliance at the same time, "May the Lord have mercy on this mourning soul!" ”
Suddenly, as if a gust of wind was blowing, the feathers covering Jasmine's body suddenly flew up messily.
The feathers didn't really cover her body in the first place, but fell directly through her spirit body and fell to the ground like ordinary feathers, and the whole process didn't touch her body at all.
Therefore, as these feathers flew away from Jasmine's body little by little, the color of Jasmine's spirit body was also taken away by these feathers that shimmered with silver light.
The color of Jasmineka's spirit quickly faded visibly to the naked eye, gradually changing from the clear blue of the pool to transparent and transparent, and the moth-eaten black spots on her body were also sucked away by the feathers.
As Jasmine was on the verge of nothingness, the last of the feathers finally flew away from her spirit.
Roland took a deep breath.
He reached out and pulled out the staff sword that pierced Jasmineka's spirit, and withdrew the blade back into the staff.
Next, the most critical part comes in. (To be continued......)
