On the surface, Adventists seem to be quite similar to religions, both believe in one or more supreme beings, focus on increasing the breadth of influence and the number of believers, and have the same organizational structure from top to bottom. But in fact, there is a fundamental difference between the two sides.

Religious believers simply believe that there really are gods in this world. For Adventists, the gods, or beings who can give and destroy everything, are really able to communicate.

Those who have never received substantial gifts from the gods indulge in the illusory dreams of religion. Because only when the gods have never really influenced anything. Only those who believe in the gods can recognize what is happening around them as the result of the influence of the gods. It is precisely because nothing is done that it is omnipotent.

Therefore, God cannot be real.

Generally speaking, aliens who have truly gained their independent reality from contact with aliens are completely different from ordinary religious believers. Because they don't need to deceive, they don't need self-hypnosis, they don't even need to use cumbersome theories and canons to explain them. The influence of the supreme existence happens to me all the time.

Perhaps the alien is really omnipotent, but this god is neither generous nor generous. The Inhumans are well aware of the cost they pay for their grace. I also know what terrible abyss I am about to fall into in my future.

There is no point in praying because their gods are not merciful. Offerings are also worthless, because their gods do not ask for them. Repentance is ineffective because their gods are not tolerant. It is futile to cry out, for their gods have no mercy.

It is a being that is above cognition, and it is a nightmare that must never be touched. It's an absolute curse that every Inhuman can't break free.

So from a religious point of view, Adventism itself seems to have no value at all. Because for the Inhumans, the rewards and punishments from the "gods" are over at the moment of awakening. The rest of the time is just to indulge and wait for the destined ending.

And in the beginning, that's exactly how things went. But it soon becomes clear to the Inhumans that things are not that simple. This world will not allow them to exist, and the more they want to use their independent reality to grab benefits, the more fierce the counterattack and rejection from this world will be.

This is not surprising, the people who can break the rules are often the people who are most excluded by the rules, and no one will accept the existence of monsters around them that can break the rules. It's like an inhuman who can be invisible, even if he can easily steal goods from the mall, it won't end when he walks out of the mall. On the contrary, the trouble began only at this time.

The mall will inspect the loss, and the police will intervene to investigate the cause of the loss of the goods. Until you find all the clues and dig out the truth of the matter. And in the end, what awaits him will not be the same as that of a normal thief, even if all he takes is a can of hot sauce.

Those who use extra-legal means will also face dispositions that are extra-legal. Even in order to deal with these opponents who have an independent reality outside the rules, gradually under the leadership of the government, various institutions dedicated to hunting them have emerged, and these institutions are called "hunter organizations". Individuals cannot compete with the whole world, so in order to survive, the Inhumans must also unite to increase their power and power, which is the origin of the "Adventists".

Cooperation brings not only the power of power, but also the exchange and collision of knowledge. In order to master more power and get more from the Xenopathy, the Adventists also became pioneers in the study of Xenopathy. Realizing that they were no longer human, they began to believe in alien origins, worshipping them as gods, and calling themselves the Chosen One.

Rely on revealing your own independent reality to trick mortals into believing in themselves. With the help of the cognition of these mortal believers, they can consolidate their independent reality and resist the pressure from both the alien source and the reality. They know exactly what they're getting from a different source, and they know what they're paying for it. While greedily demanding the gift of the "gods" in their eyes, they are also afraid of the coming of the end day in fear.

Ironically, they were supposed to be the ones who didn't believe in the existence of gods the most, but in the end, they became the closest to gods in the eyes of mortals. Perhaps in the end, it is difficult to say whether the Chosen ones are deceiving mortal believers, or deceiving themselves who are unwilling to face reality.

The formation of a religious faction does give the Inhumans the power to counter the hunter organization, but it also brings another problem, that is, how to distribute power?

For Inhumans, strength can be used as the primary condition for the distribution of power, but it does not mean that having absolute strength means having absolute power. Of course, there are Inhuman organizations that do this, but they are all in competition and eliminated because of a mistake in a decision by their leader. The distribution of power is a very important part of any organization's survival.

For example, in Zoroastrianism, which is well-known among Adventists, the bishop of the branch is often the most powerful Chosen One. Each branch usually also has three high priests, who share the responsibility of running the branch with the bishop. to keep the denomination functioning.

When the actions of one of the four are deemed to be dangerous to the interests of the sect, one or more of the four nominates an immortal council to deliberate on it. This is the "Immortal Council", an institution set by the Zoroastrian pope himself. This process is also known as the Judgment of Light.

Sixty-six top-grade primordial coefficients used in the construction ceremony of the Land of Canaan were seized by the hunter organization, which was undoubtedly a very serious loss. The root cause of this defeat is that the hunters seem to know their own movements in advance. In order to find the inner ghost who leaked the secret, after dealing with the aftermath of the failed operation, Black finally completed the preparations for the Immortal Council. Today in the Zoroastrian branch of the city of S, the bright trial of Bishop Prometheus was officially opened.

Most people who have heard of the Immortal Council of the Zoroastrian sect tend to think that the so-called "Immortal Council" simply refers to the four giants sitting down to meet. This process seems more appropriate to call it the "Immortal Council". But in fact, the Immortal Council did not refer to the four branch giants attending the meeting, but to a very special magic weapon created by the Pope of the Zoroastrian sect.

As a powerful organization with a long history among Adventists, Zoroastrianism has branches throughout the world. And the magic weapon "Immortal Council" is the supreme token that acknowledges the existence of the branch as the headquarters. When the power of the branch grows to the point where it can be recognized by the headquarters, a priest will be assigned by the headquarters to bring the artifact to give it. The priest will also remain in the branch to serve as the high priest, serving as a bridge between the branch and the headquarters.

Outwardly, the "Immortal Council" is usually a strange artifact made of gold that is less than one meter long and wide, and no more than two meters high. In order to be able to better obtain the blessing of reality, there will be different shapes according to the cultural history of the location of the branch. For example, this magic weapon that was personally brought to the branch of country Z by Blake looks quite like a small tripod made of gold.

The body is surrounded by four skeletons in different postures as if trying to escape from the tripod, the upper body is plated with gold, and the lower body is poured into the body. Within the belly of the crest, there are unspeakable and strange statues, which do not resemble real things, nor do they resemble some kind of structure based on human fantasies. When you stare at it, you will find that this strangely shaped statue is still slowly but surely changing its shape.

Matching the Immortal Council artifact are four yellow gold rings set with rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and gold-green cat's eyes. These four rings are also a symbol of the status of the bishop and the three high priests, and only four people who carry these four rings can activate the immortal council.

When the four giants insert their ring-wearing fingers into the mouth of the four-sided skeleton, the artifact is activated. At this moment, the independent reality of the four will be connected by the Immortal Council. From the moment the magic weapon is activated, none of the four of them can tell a single lie, otherwise they will be attacked by the magic weapon, and their independent reality will also suffer a heavy blow.

Because the magic weapon itself is driven by the independent reality of the four people, in the process of connecting, everyone will be suppressed by the joint efforts of the four people. Even if one of them is far stronger than the other four, it is impossible to compete with the four including himself. Therefore, when responding to a question from another person in such a situation, there is absolutely no possibility of concealing the facts.

At the same time, in order to prevent this magic weapon from being used by people with bad intentions, there are also strict restrictions in the process of the light trial. With the exception of the bishop, who has two opportunities to ask questions, the other three high priests can ask only one question. In addition, each time the Illuminati is convened, the agenda must be submitted to the headquarters for application, and no questions related to the agenda must appear during the meeting.

This time, the Immortal Council of the Zoroastrian branch of the Zoroastrian branch in S City deliberated on the investigation of the origin of the seaside on April 5 and the reason for the leakage of information, which is also an issue that the Zoroastrian headquarters is now extremely concerned about.

The loss of sixty-six top-level primordial embryos this time was not too painful for the Zoroastrian headquarters to break their bones. But without identifying the root cause of the failure, no one can be sure that this will happen again. In this way, I am afraid that the plan for the land of Canaan, which has been prepared for more than ten years, will be completely in vain.

At this moment, the cathedral beneath the Zoroastrian branch in S City was empty, and only the central prayer platform was placed the artifact called the Immortal Council. The entrance to the church is so guarded that not even the tiniest reptile will be allowed to enter.

The four giants of the branch, Bishop Prometheus, and the other three high priests: Blake, Yin, and Liu Fa, stood around the artifact. If the disciples who were guarding the outside now opened the door and looked inside, they would be surprised that the legendary high priest Yin, who never left the throne of the Dirt, appeared in the church without anyone looking.

"Everyone is here, so let's get started." Li Fa yawned boredly and urged, "Hurry up and finish the meeting, I don't want to stay underground for long." ”

"So are you ready? Next, please join me in activating the magic weapon. After speaking, Blake stretched out his finger and plunged into the mouth of the golden skull in front of him.

Then Lifa and Prometheus also put their fingers in, hesitated for a moment, and under the cover of the sleeves of their robes, they also inserted their fingers with rings into them. Li Fa glanced sideways, and the latter's fingers flashing from under the sleeves of his robe seemed to be much thinner than he expected.

Looking at the chaotic light that gradually shone brightly inside the Golden Ding, Blake breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in a deep voice

"I declare that this Light Trial has officially begun!"
