() Before the establishment of the Cult of Light and for a long time in the early days of its establishment, the human society in Olopa was in a state of chaos, when human beings believed in hundreds of gods, and thus hundreds of religions coexisted with different sects of human beings and groups in the world. Mutual exclusion has caused the Olopa to fight and many religious differences have shed enough blood on these three continents, and many of these many religions are still evil sects that harm people, and if humanity is allowed to develop like this, sooner or later it will die out due to cannibalism

In order to avoid this terrible tragedy, after the establishment of the Holy Light Cult, under the guidance of the God of Light, the first Pope and the Holy Maiden launched a holy war aimed at eliminating the dispute between the Qiē sects among the human race in Olopa, unifying all mankind under the single belief in the God of Light, and realizing the true peace and unity of mankind

After the victory of the Holy Light Cult, the texts of all other religions were burned, the statues were destroyed, and the temples were destroyed, and the information about these religions was also extinct in the history books, and the Holy Light Cult succeeded in turning the vast majority of human religions on the three continents of Olopa into devout Light believers, although there were some small battles afterwards, but their nature was no longer a religious dispute, and human society was also in a state of relative peace under this common belief for centuries

However, the mind cannot be imprisoned forever, although the Holy Light Cult has united the vast majority of the Olopa human race in a common faith, there are always a very small number of people who are alien and exterminated religions, and there are still some hardcore believers who have survived strongly, they quietly hide in unknown corners, still believe in their original religion, and have been engaged in underground activities to overthrow the dominance of the Holy Illuminati, which the Holy Light Church calls heretics, and there are still some people who no longer believe in the existence of any god because they think they have understood the true nature of the world, and they are atheists

In the days that followed, atheists and heretics became the two categories pursued by the Inquisition, atheists were exiled to the cold of the Far North, known as the forbidden zone of life, and the infidels who fell into the hands of the Inquisition would suffer even worse fate than the atheists, and their families would be burned to death by the purifying fire of the Inquisition, and even if they had no pagan faith, they would be interned by the Holy See, and they would become slaves of the Holy See for the rest of their lives in the name of atonement

Now that the atheists have tenaciously established themselves in the Far North and become a rival to the Holy Light Cult, the heretics are unable to form any decent power under the iron fist of the Holy See, and now the heretics are basically extinct on the three continents of Olopa, and only a small number of pagans can be found on the outlying islands far from the mainland

Of course, not all human heretics were exterminated by the Holy See, and there was one heretic that was lucky, they were the Druids, who escaped the pursuit of the Holy Light Cult with the protection of the forest elves, and survived in the territory of the elves and continued to grow their power

It doesn't matter what kind of heretic he is, just go in and knock that man down, Lei Cai didn't bother to listen to the history of those heretics, so he reached out and pushed the door

However, he miscalculated, no matter how hard he tried, the stone gate would not move, Cassius, Joyka, and Sophia immediately stepped forward to help, but several people were busy for a long time, but they couldn't move the stone gate for half a minute

A few minutes later, four young men and women, panting like cattle, had to sit on the ground to rest

Damn it...... Whew...... Ray hasn't caught his breath yet, what the hell is this stone gate whirring...... It's like pushing a mountain......

The other three buddies didn't bother to reply, because they were all too tired to breathe

Sophia, who had eased up for a while, said angrily: "How can we be blocked out by a broken door after such a hard battle?"

Anger alone won't solve the problem, and Joyka said, we should calm down and think of a way

Is there any other way Lei asked

I think now that we have only reached the fifth floor, such a big stone cannot be permanently closed, there must be some switch to control it, otherwise how can the people on the sixth and seventh floors get in and out, Joyka turned her head and said to Cassius behind her, "Fat man, you guessed from this painting and text that the guard inside may be a heretic, tell me your speculation, or you can find some useful clues."

Well, Cassius touched his chin with his hand, and I do suspect that the person inside is a heretic, but not like a normal heathen

What was the difference, everyone asked in unison

I suspect that the religion of this heretic does not come from the original religion of the three continents of Olopa, and Cassius proposed his idea, if I am not mistaken, this heretic must have come from the vast continent of the Far East

As soon as the true people of the Vast Land Continent mentioned the Vast Earth Continent, their partners naturally thought of those True People who were shorter than the Olopa humans, with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes, because in the minds of most Olopa people, the mysterious True Kingdom represented the distant Vast Continent

However, Cassius denied it again: this person must be from the Vast Continent, but not necessarily from the real country, you see-Cassius pointed to the line of unknown words, which are not the words of the real country

Do you understand, Sophia said

I don't understand it either, I just recognize it, these should be the words of the Peacock Empire, Cassius replied

The name of the Peacock Empire is very unfamiliar, what kind of country is this, is it on the vast continent, Lei asked

Yes, Cassius patiently explained to his partners that in addition to the true homeland, there are two other empires on the vast continent: the 'First Sun Empire' and the 'Peacock Empire', the True Kingdom, the First Yang Empire, and the Peacock Empire - these three countries are the three major empires that coexist on the vast continent, and the national library of the Snowy Federation is the richest place in the world, and it also preserves the remnants of books from the three major empires in the Far East, I have looked through some of them, and I feel that these lines are similar to the Peacock Empire characters recorded in the book, so I infer that this person may have come from the Peacock Empire

Joyka nodded in agreement, while Sophia and Ray needed a moment to digest

But fat man, how do you know that this man is a heretic, can't he be an atheist from the Peacock Empire?

Just because of the painting, Cassius pointed to the mural and said to his friends

Sophia asked: How can a baby stand on top of a flower is not logical at all, Cassius Do you know what this inexplicable painting means

Once again, they looked at the strange mural, and saw that the painting was very rough, and with only a few brushstrokes, they clearly saw a baby boy standing on an unknown flower, pointing to the sky and the ground with one finger

Well, Cassius said seriously, I read the materials about the Peacock Empire in the National Library before, which recorded an allusion to a religion that was very popular in the vast continent, that flower is called 'lotus', which is a plant unique to the vast continent and grows on water, and the baby boy should be the founder of the religion, and this mural is to recreate the scene when the founder was born

The believers of that sect who were born to stand are too deified of their founders, Joy Kadao

Not only that, but in the record, the founder was born and could speak in addition to standing and walking, Cassius said

What to say Sophia's curiosity came

Let me think...... Cassius struggled to figure out what it was called...... Well...... Oh, remember, Cassius looked up and said to his companions, I remember, as if he were shouting, 'Heaven and earth are the only ones'

Suddenly, just as Cassius shouted the words "Heaven and Heaven are the only one", the line of Peacock Empire text printed next to the mural emitted a yellow dazzling light, piercing Cassius couldn't open his eyes at all

When Cassius barely opened his eyes, the baby carved into the stone door was staring straight at him with his eyes, grinning at him strangely

Ah, Cassius took a step back, the mural can move, is it some strange spell, but he obviously didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of the elements, but what shocked Cassius even more was that on the mural, the baby actually opened his mouth and said to Cassius: Everything is illusory

Then the baby boy on the mural actually grew up on his own

Sophia, Joyka, and Rekasius hurriedly called out to his companions, but he didn't get the slightest response from them

Cassius turned to look, but there was still a sign of his companions

Moreover, Cassius was surprised to find that he was no longer in front of the stone gate of the Tower of Seven Sins, and he only saw himself standing on a calm lake, the surface of which was full of lotus flowers, and he was standing on top of a lotus flower

Why is this happening, is it another mile Cassius thought in a panic, at this time he hurriedly looked forward, but the strange scene shocked him even more

The baby in the mural has materialized into a real middle-aged man, this man is half-naked, with two earlobes, sitting cross-legged on a relatively large lotus flower, his eyes closed, his left palm up on the lower abdomen, the left hand raised to shoulder level, palm forward

You...... Who the hell are you Cassius nervously asked the man.
