018. History

Returning to the Chamber of Secrets, the Pope's body, named Titis VIII, collapsed to the ground due to the loss of consciousness and soul, and a large amount of golden matter was suspended around it.

The confrontation with the Pope's will soul, as well as the promotion of soul fire and the growth of lower arms, caused Talos to spend a lot of time in the watch world, and the golden matter began to dissipate after losing its owner, and Talos hurriedly collected them again.

Just as Talos tried to continue to absorb and inherit the knowledge and experience contained in it with the help of the old method, the bright buttery soul fire flashed, and a large piece of golden substance disappeared together, and it was calcined into the soul fire, and in an instant, it turned into a piece of mixed and vast memory knowledge imprinted in his mind.

I don't know how much time has passed, but with the help of the soul fire after being promoted, Talos finally sorted out the memories from the Pope.

"Fortunately, the Origin Plane and the Inca Plane are both Broken Planes with Origin Traumatized, and the upper limit of strength is the third order, otherwise with the resources and opportunities of the Pope, I am afraid that the strength would have broken through the fifth order long ago, and it would even be exaggerated!"

Even with Talos's incomplete and systematic understanding of divinity, he knew that it was a magical power that only fifth-order powerhouses such as Legendary Mages and Epic Knight had the minimum qualifications to master.

If it weren't for the limited strength limit of the plane, trapped in the third order and unable to be promoted, the Pope would have been able to draw power from the plane origin and the Force Ocean with the help of that ocean divinity, instead of connecting to other energy planes such as the water elemental plane to face the enemy.

According to the Pope's mutilated memories, the Terra Plane was not a wasteland long ago, and martial arts and magic were very popular, until a sudden disaster changed the original course of history.

It is worth mentioning that the Pope himself did not personally experience or witness the catastrophe, and his memories also come from the lineage, from the divinity of the sea.

Despite this, the Pope himself was quite fond of that history, and when Talos received this memory with the help of Soul Fire, he actually felt a little empathy, a kind of trembling dominated by fear.

It was a huge palm, obscuring the sky and the sun, falling from the sky, holding the sun hanging in the air, and then plucking it away, as simple as plucking an apple from a fruit tree.

The sun never rose, unprecedented darkness fell, and not long after, the ice age came, the oceans froze, the land was covered in ice and snow, and the entire world was turned upside down, and the civilization of the Terra plane regarding martial arts and magic was buried by this sudden catastrophe.

By the time the spark of civilization re-emerged on the Terra plane, it was many years later, and the current humans, Naga, and Harpys were naturally ignorant of the catastrophe of the sun's removal.

"Heavens, how much power does it take to take away a sun, could it be some god who has [destruction] as his priesthood?"

Although the sun in the main material plane and the terra plane is slightly different from the stars in the previous life, the sun is the sun after all, and the pure energy star separated from the force ocean is part of the origin of the plane, and he can't imagine that kind of feat that can cause the destruction of the world.

Talos didn't know if a powerful god could take the sun away, but the long darkness caused by it, the Ice Age, which caused the extinction of tens of millions of living beings, could the other gods turn a blind eye to it.

Provided, of course, that there were beliefs in other gods in that primitive era.

Unfortunately, the Terra plane's primitive beliefs are too old to verify, but Talos found an interesting piece of information in the Pope's memory about the origin of the Creator's lies and divine magic.

Although the Pope keeps saying that the Creator is nothing more than an illusory and absurd delusion, in fact it is not a fantasy of the Pope, but the result of a joint effort with the two Popes of the earth and the sky.

Yes, just like the Pope of the Ocean Divine Domain, the Popes of the Earth and the Sky Divine Domain have also been taken from generation to generation, in fact, the two Popes who are now holding the Holy Sword and wearing the Holy Crown are the founders and founders of the two Great Divine Domains.

The three popes were the first beings to be born in an abandoned temple after the Ice Age on the Terra plane, somewhat similar to the elemental beings that Talos knew, and somewhat similar to some kind of weak nature spirit.

The Pope's divinity of the sea comes from the temple, and so does the Holy Grail of Treasures, and together with the other two companions, they start a long and evil life.

With the help of divinity and treasures, the three popes expanded their horizons and left their mark on the history of the Terra plane.

However, even legendary creatures have a lifespan limit, and one day they will grow old, and the three popes will naturally not be able to escape the ravages of time.

The shackles of the upper limit of strength, the contradiction between ambition to go further and limited lifespan led the three popes to set their sights on the unknown, faith.

They meditated and drew nourishment from the primitive nature worship of the time, and together they created a great deity, the Creator, and stole faith from the three races of humans, Naga, and Harpy.

In Talos's view, the profession of the three popes was not so much a paladin as a blasphemy, a special profession that stole the faith of the gods in order to gain the ability to cast spells.

On the physical plane of the Lord, every desecration of priests found by the Church is inextricably linked to the stake, and no god will forgive their sins—neither will the gods of the evil camp—and the only thing that awaits them is the eternal torture of the Grim Reaper.

Probably favored by fate, before the end of their lives, the three of them finally succeeded, and under the infiltration of faith and soul, they achieved the purpose of continuing their lives by seizing living beings.

Not only that, but in the process, they also discovered the existence of divine magic in a young man who was extremely religious and had a very good talent.

Of course, they were shocked at first by this incredible result, that a nonsensical deity actually gave magic and even had the idea of praying to the "Creator" for a while.

- When the Pope's memory was read here, Talos couldn't help but think of a very classic blasphemous remark from the main material plane, that faith creates gods.

However, the reality of never receiving a response from the Creator and the fear of death eventually wore away the few patiences in the hearts of the trio.

They captured the young priest who had acquired the magic on his own, used it as an experiment, researched ways to obtain it, and maliciously targeted the Pope.

The first is to prolong life, the second is to disgust and take revenge on the so-called "Creator", and the third is to take control of the belief system that has been established by one-handedly, and guide and adjust it at any time.

Besides, who can say no to the supreme power?

In fact, for a long time in the past, the essence of the Three Great Divine Domains was three large laboratories.

In terms of doctrine, after thousands of years of continuous improvement and integration, the priesthood of the Creator has become richer and richer, which is the creator and the destroyer of the apocalypse, order and chaos, the origin and the end, covering all aspects of life and governing all natural phenomena.

At the same time, the three popes painstakingly distorted the doctrine to prevent the birth of pure priests, and formulated the "Supreme Code" to control the minds of creatures in the Terra plane, acting as a flock to contribute the power of faith, and finally mastered a special method of bestowing spells by combining divinity, treasure, faith, and soul, and the Knight of the Divine Domain was born at that time.

"In order to consolidate their rule and use the entire world as a laboratory to study how to prolong life and break the upper limit of strength, the three popes are really unscrupulous. Talos was moved, "If this evil method appears in the main material plane, I am afraid that it will not take a year to surpass the Spider Sect and become the biggest heretic!"

Although the soul fire refines the soul, Talos at least will not kill anyone casually, and he is not sensitive to the method invented by the three popes, and finally understands why the soul of Jerome, the villain in Sweetwater, broke through the void and left.

Bestowing divine magic was originally the exclusive ability of the gods, and forcibly grasping the authority that only the gods could grasp with the strength of the three major popes and the third order naturally required a great price.

This price is the soul!

This means that all humans, naga, and harpys on the Terra plane provide the power of faith to the three popes during their lifetimes, and their souls become fuel to power the so-called divine arts after death.

Under the propaganda rule and subtle influence of the three gods, there are very few people in the world who do not believe in the Creator, and even Jerome, who has blood on his hands, is a devout believer.

"The system of divine magic established by the three popes requires the cooperation of divinity, treasures, faith and soul, all of which are indispensable. Now that the Pope is dead, the sea divinity has been refined by me, and the Holy Grail can no longer continue to absorb souls in combination with the Creator Temple Circle, which means that from today onwards, the knights of the Ocean God Domain will lose the ability to release divine magic, and their overall strength will decline. ”

Talos held the grail in his hand, his stomach squirmed, and there was a long-lost desire to eat.

However, this will make Talos not in the mood to eat, because with the death of the Pope, the anomaly of the Ocean God Domain was immediately noticed by the other two Popes who were far away in the Holy Mountain and Eagle Head Mountain.

The three popes did support each other and were close to each other at first, but the fact that they had been unable to break the shackles of the third order for thousands of years gradually gave birth to a dark idea, and the idea of divinity and treasures in the hands of the other two people was raised.

If it weren't for the fact that they knew the bottom line too well, and no one was 100% sure, the three popes would have fought a long time ago and forcibly seized the divine treasures and souls.

Now that the mutation has occurred, they are certainly curious about the reason for the Pope's change, but they are more concerned about the Holy Grail and the sea divinity, and Talos dares to say that the other two popes are on their way to the ocean god domain.

"I have to find a way to get rid of the two popes while preserving the Ocean God Domain. ”

Talos was also very interested in the two divinities in them.
