Chapter 692: The Curse of Sisyphus (Part I)
Directly put a priest who once served the Son "dressed and ate, wore an umbrella and carried shoes" to the status of a religious leader, and called him the Pope of Original Sin! As long as the citizens of Eristar do "holy work", pay "holy taxes", and be honest citizens of them, when they are dying, the Holy See will give them a glittering "indulgence" to redeem their souls as a ticket to heaven.
Time slipped silently, and decades, as these nobles grew stronger, finally war broke out again. This time, the Manus family was the dominant one and avoided the imperial power. But what they didn't expect was that the power of the Holy See of Original Sin, which they had been fostered as a tool in the early days, would grow even faster than all their nobles combined.
The reasons are very simple, first, the Holy See does not need to fight with anyone, and it consumes its strength like the nobles of all parties in infighting. Second, the Holy See of Original Sin has mastered the hearts of the people. With the passage of time, history has slowly been forgotten and tasted. Don't say anything to the common people, in the end, even the nobles on the planet Ere, and even the Emperor of the Sanctuary himself went to the Holy See to beg for the "indulgence" that could allow him to enter heaven after death.
Eristar finally transitioned to a theocratic approach, and the Holy See of Original Sin, which had been used as a puppet, became the man behind the control of the puppets. And the Emperor of the Sanctuary, the royal family, and the nobility have become real puppets.
And so it was, exactly four hundred and seventy-nine years later. Yi Ruixing finally appeared in front of Tang Yun and the others in his current appearance.

......
Time flies, especially when a busy man from the city is suddenly thrown into such a small village where he can't do anything quickly. The calmer the day, the faster it feels. It's really unconscious, when there is no big move, inexplicable, unreasonable, and incomprehensible. Nearly four months have passed.
A planet with a huge slow orbital cycle, 4 months, inexplicably, the entire Eristar is still the same as when Tang Yun first came, warm, lukewarm, tepid.
The sky is always so blue, the clouds are always so white, the wind is always so refreshing, the sun is always so gentle, and the moon is ......
Eristar is large, at least about the same size as the center of the Comia field, the Comia Star. Fortunately, it is not as "fraternal" as Comia after all, with only twenty-four satellites of all sizes. Every night, twenty-four moons hang in the sky. Because the air in Eristar is particularly good, and the air quality is excellent, these twenty-four moons are indescribably clean and bright, shining on the sky of Eristar. Most of the time, the night sky on Ereystar is not pure black, but has a faint inky blue. Pure and deep.
The whole barn was divided into three battalions, and the men of the 3rd team reluctantly became the king of children, mingled with the Utur boys, and lived in a large barn. The few Utur girls who belonged to the "logistics department" naturally occupied the other, a small barn closer to the well. Girls love to be clean, wash and wash easily. The mechanics live directly in the so-called "blacksmith shop" to watch the shop, and it is also convenient to rush to work at night when there is work.
What Tang Yun and everyone around him presented was a completely peaceful and peaceful state. Of course, the distant way home will inevitably make them anxious. Outside the town, the rows of burnt stakes on the wasteland were also pierced in the hearts of these "modern people" from the Federation like thorns. Remind them that this is a foreign country full of dangers, and danger can be encountered at any time. Do not let your guard down in any way.
The smallest barn belonged to Tang Yun and Benedict, Tang Yun, who was lying in front of the light platform, raised his head, and through the glass window, he could see the dark blue, faintly shining through the night sky. You can also see Utur sentry around the barn. Rubbing his tired and red eyes, Tang Yun lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff gently.
"Prophet, when I get the new crystal, what are you going to give us a name?"
Smoking a cigarette, Tang Yun withdrew his gaze and looked at the densely packed energy nodes floating on the light structure platform. These incomparably complex optical paths and energy nodes that follow certain laws no longer look like small galaxies. It is more like a nebula that flows freely, presenting an almost brilliant beauty. It's just that there is a palpitating mess on the ground near the light platform, and the "body" from the puppet Tan Honghui has been dismantled and messed up, and all kinds of cables, golden components, and unknown liquids of various colors are scattered all over the ground.
Ralph, the puppet controlled by Benedict, also stopped and carefully closed the lids of the petri dishes in front of him. He didn't deliberately pay attention to the body on the ground that was almost like himself, but just moved his gaze to the suffocatingly beautiful "Nebula" in front of Tang Yun, revealing a somewhat stiff smile, and teasing.
"Holy Son, according to your style, do you still use me for your name?"
"What is it this time?"
"'Stone of the Seaph II'?" Iron Body III'? Or is it simply 'Golden One II'? ”
He shook his head, smoked a cigarette, and rubbed his head tiredly. Tang Yun said a little helplessly, "Forget it, it's the best crystallization I have made in my life, so let's have a reliable name." It was originally a piece of 'armor', and it was born on Ireis. I want a ...... I want a god stick-style, something like [Hellfire, Ash Berserker's Armor], which sounds domineering! ”
Looking at the dazzling "nebula" on the light platform, and looking at the armor-like energy body simulated in the computer light curtain on the side, Benedict also fell into a short silence.
"How is the Curse of Sisyphus, the Stone of Destiny? It fits your understanding of the 'Divine Stick' and the land covered by the Divine Radiance, right? ”
Tang Yun couldn't help frowning and took a hard sip of his cigarette. "I said 'old class', can't you give it an auspicious name? Domineering is there, but why do you always have to get involved with that hapless 'Sisyphus'? And this time it's a word like 'curse'? ”
......
"Fate is like the stone of Sisyphus, pushed to the top of the mountain by Sisyphus, and then helplessly rolled down to the dust......"
"Tang Yun, what do you want? You've done so much, what do you want to get? ”
"Flight, struggle, fighting...... Over and over again, do you think this is a kind of fate that is being ironiced? You can't get used to this world, but you can't change it, even if you can change it, just like the former Son did in Ereise, but in the end, it will still change back to what it belonged to. Isn't this just a reincarnation? Does all this look like the curse of Sisyphus? ”
"Just like the original sin borne by the Holy Son, generation after generation, the Holy Son with the 'Holy Seal' deceived the people of Eristar, and then 'bought' the original sin and died, and the memory remained in the body of the Holy Seal, to help the next generation of the Holy Son, to deceive his people in the same way. Isn't it a curse that it goes on and on, and never stops? ”
