Chapter 24: Atlantis Enlightenment

Atlantis Temple

"You are my Creator, the Soul Guide, the Great Sun, who leads us out of the endless darkness and ushers in the infinite light......" The vast temple resounded with bursts of prayer, "Praise be to the Sun God."

The high priest, dressed in gold with a little black priestly robe, slowly walked down the stone stairs after leading the praise, and his solemn and friendly smile infected every member who came.

"Today is a big day, and I believe you have heard that the power of the sun god, which helped us in the past in our most difficult times, has awakened again!" The high priest's excited voice resounded throughout the hall, and as the high priest's voice fell, the high priest's body was also full of golden light.

"Sun God Guardian!" Some of the Atlanteans, who couldn't hold it anymore, had already let out an exclamation.

"Praise the sun god" is another unanimous prayer.

After the dazzling golden light slowly disappeared, the figure of the high priest gradually appeared in front of everyone.

"A new era for us Atlanteans is about to begin, for the sun god! For glory! ”

Temple side nave

The fifteen people who held the core of Atlantean power wanted to fill the entire side hall, and the chief and high priest also presided over the meeting one after another.

"I'm sure you've all heard that we've decided to start the Ark Project, and I don't know if you have any different opinions and ideas, please express them," the Grand Commander spoke first.

As soon as the words fell, an old man in gold and black robes stood up, looking at his appearance, it should be the old man who saw the high priest using the power of the sun god that day, "Since the Grand Commander has spoken, presumably the three sages to whom the Grand Commander belongs have also been discussed, it seems that only the opinions of the ten wise men such as me need to be unified, but before I express my opinion, I have a question, I want to ask the Grand Commander." ”

"Speak, the Great Believer," replied the Grand Commander respectfully.

"As far as I know, it was the High Priest, not you, who proposed the Ark Plan, and at first, you were against it, and I wonder what made you change your mind."

At this time, there was a sound of discussion below.

"The reason is actually very simple, without the power of the sun god, when we face the current situation, even the implementation of the Ark plan is only a last-minute expedient measure, and now that our power of the sun god is revived, the implementation of the Ark plan now can be a good supplement to our combat power, in this way, maybe it will not go to the darkest end." The Arch-General explained.

The Great Believer listened carefully to the Grand Commander's explanation, although he could roughly guess what the Grand Commander said, but he had his own considerations, "I believe that the Grand Commander also came to such a conclusion after the rights and interests of various pros and cons, in principle, I agree to implement the Ark Project, but I have a request, the core of the Ark Project, which 10,000 people's ark must be built first,"

The "......" Grand Commander seemed to be a little embarrassed, but after careful consideration, he agreed to the Great Believer's request, "Yes."

Seeing that the Great Commander nodded in agreement, the Great Believer also relaxed his somewhat nervous expression slightly, and looked back at his colleagues, "Fellow believers, I wonder if there are any other ideas?" ”

"Praise the sun god" The other believers answered the questions of the great believers with their strongest faith.

The Great Believer nodded with great satisfaction, "Then we should listen to the high priest's words together and accept her guidance."

The current high priest has changed out of the golden robe and put on the usual black robe, although she lacks some solemn expression in the black robe, but her peaceful and wise temperament is more prominent.

"I'm glad that everyone can come to an agreement so quickly, in this time of crisis, it is even more precious, I hope that everyone can mobilize their people as soon as possible, inform them of the seriousness of the situation, this is an existential war, we have no way out," the serious high priest said, "In addition to these, we must also pay special attention to one thing, the human race of the earth. ”

There was another sound of rustling among the people below

"This power of the sun god must be clear to everyone, it is a magical power engraved in genes and blood, we Atlanteans have this power because of hybridization with humans, so the source of this power, what kind of situation will it be for human beings on earth to obtain the method of using this power, we will not make the mistake of followers again."

Silence, endless silence

"I think I can understand the feelings of the High Priest," the Great Believer was the first to break the oppressive atmosphere, "Whether it is the followers or the earth humans, they are essentially human beings, they all have innate defects, we can't estimate how much impact they will have on us once they master this power, the lessons of the followers are too painful, if the earth humans really want to master, with their current population base, it will be an extremely serious danger, I am afraid that even the Arqiians will not agree." ”

Seeing the great believer's resolute opposition, the high priest also looked very powerless, his eyes swept through the crowd, and found that everyone was constantly shaking their heads with disapproving expressions, it seemed that the shadow of the failure of the followers in the past had not dissipated after these ten thousand years, and she suddenly felt a little lonely in her heart, "Could it be that tens of thousands of years have passed, and there has been no change in human beings, or ......" The high priest looked at the archon with a hint of pleading, she hoped that the archimen could support her and understand her at this time, but she was disappointed, The Grand Commander visibly shook his head and told her the answer, but she didn't want to give up.

"Could it be that at this critical juncture, we can't let go of the grievances that have been gone for thousands of years? The current human beings on Earth are no longer the people of the past, shouldn't we open our hearts and accept a civilization that may be even greater than us," said the high priest, who was already in tears.

"Please don't be angry, high priest, we are not stupid withered leaf turtles, but considering the special situation now, if we rush to teach, I am worried that there will be a lot of uncertainties to interfere." Once again, the Great Believer came out to speak, and with his position second only to the High Priest, what he said was very representative of the opinion of the majority.

"Is there no other way? It would be a good help for the humans of Earth at this time, if used properly," the High Priest was disappointed, but still holding on to his thoughts.

Again, the crowd fell silent

"Perhaps," said the Great Believer.

"Great Believer, do you have any good ideas?" Seeing the words of the Great Believer, the High Priest rekindled the flame of hope.

"No, no," the Great Believer also smiled helplessly, "I think we can do an experiment first, and ask a small number of humans to be taught without knowing it, and then arrange for the three cruisers that will be given to them, so that we can study their abilities and observe their attitudes towards this power, so that although it will not be of much material help to us, it can provide a basis for whether or not to teach it in the future, and this is a compromise I have come up with." ”

"Alas!" The high priest couldn't help but sigh after listening to the words of the great believer, this kind of estrangement seemed to be really difficult to overcome, and she seemed to have to make concessions, "Well, according to the words of the great believer, praise the sun god."

"Praise the sun god" everyone agreed.

Looking at the departing crowd, although the high priest had some regrets about the affairs of the human beings on the earth, he was still very satisfied with everyone on the whole, and at this difficult time, everyone was able to abandon the previous gap and unite together, which also increased the chances of victory in the upcoming war, "I hope everything goes well," the high priest prayed in his heart.

"Huh...... Why are you still here? The High Priest found that the Grand Commander had not left, but had appeared behind her.

After a little twist, the Grand Commander didn't seem to know what he wanted to say.

"You want to talk about the human beings on Earth," Seeing that the Great Commander was speechless for a long time, the High Priest also guessed his thoughts.

"Well, I didn't support you, and I also have my troubles, I hope you can understand me," the Grand Commander is like a child who has done something wrong, completely lacking the vigorous momentum of the past.

The high priest saw him like this, and he also secretly laughed in his heart, it was impossible to say that he was not angry, after all, when she needed help the most, the person she trusted the most did not support her, but she also knew very well that it was difficult for the human beings on the earth, but she didn't expect that it had been so many years, and tens of thousands of years had not untied the knot in the hearts of her people, but it was a little undesirable, it seems that the famous saying, time is the best medicine is also unreliable, the high priest said with relief after thinking of this: "It's okay." , I understand you, I didn't have much hope for the human race on the earth, so you don't have to worry too much."

"That's good, that's good, I'm afraid that you'll be angry, I don't support you, I still have one more thing to discuss with you," the Grand Commander first breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the high priest was not really angry, and then mentioned something that was very urgent and needed them to do immediately, "Zhao Deming, do you know?" ”

"Hmm...... I thought," the High Priest thought to himself, "I think I've heard the brave wolf say that he must be the leader of the human race on that earth, and it seems that he still has some unclear relationship with the prophet."

"Yes, it's him, I think we should meet him, some of the things that come after involve the human beings on Earth, especially the human teachings, there is no suitable human leader, I'm worried about the extraneous branches"

"So you want to examine him to see if he is suitable, and if he is not suitable, you can change him immediately," the high priest paced back and forth, thinking of something, "but even if we change, we must not choose a good rabbit, only those who really understand the pros and cons are our first choice."

"I also agree that what we need is someone who sees the big picture and knows what is best for humanity, and that pandering will only ruin the plan," the Archon echoed.

"Then let the brave wolf arrange it, this matter should be sooner rather than later," the high priest who said these words then found a stone step and sat down, and looked at the Grand Commander with his eyes full of affection, "When are you leaving?"

"I ...... I ......", perhaps unable to stand the killing of the high priest's eyes, after a while, the Grand Commander had to turn around, let out a long sigh and said, "There are too many things going on over there on the space station, I have to leave now"

"Hey!" This time it was the High Priest's turn to sigh, "Do you think we can win this war?" ”

Hearing the high priest's question, the archon still didn't turn around, but shook his head silently and said, "I don't know."
