Delia turned off the room light, climbed into the soft bed, and comfortably stretched her tired body, letting out a satisfied moan and a sweet smile.

Everything in my memory is still so clear, the deserted house, the rough food, the cold bed, the indifferent neighbors, even in the crowd, all I can taste is loneliness and loneliness. How many times have I woken up from a nightmare shouting the names of my parents, with cold tears flowing down my face, how many times have I happily dreamed that my parents have returned to me again, immersed myself in the love of my parents again, only to wake up only to find that everything is just an illusion.

The hardships of life and the loneliness of loneliness make Delia different from ordinary people's precociousness, and she has learned too much about people and the world at a young age, but even so, in her effective heart, there is still a hope that she can return to her parents and call her parents again.

The wish came true.

Cabins with the right temperature, fully automatic service with intelligent machinery, hearty and delicious food, fluffy bedding that only appears in dreams, and, dearest dad and mom.

Those are the two people that the girl loves the most, and the two who love the girl the most, knowing that there is no blood relationship, knowing that everything is just a memory of the virtual world, but this attachment is real, no matter what, it can't be parted, even if it is decades apart, the girl can still call her father and mother without hesitation.

Although the parents are extremely old, according to the judgment of the medical robot, the father only has a few months to live at most, a year or two at most, and the mother will also follow, and then he will lose the relatives he just found again, but Delia is already very satisfied, to be able to accompany them through the last part of their lives, to be able to snuggle up with them every day to enjoy the starry universe outside the ship, Delia feels that this is already the greatest happiness.

What's more, there is a new faith, and there is hope brought by the goddess.

The goddess gave her magical ability, the most pious self, it only took a few days to master the first basic magic, although the success rate is very low, and there is almost no substantive effect, at most it is to let yourself shine, but this has broken the cognition of the brown star civilization for thousands of years, completely subverted the persistence of the brown star people, and also made the girl completely into the embrace of faith, decided to follow the goddess closely, never waver, she believes that as long as everyone's faith is pious enough, and at the same time work hard enough, then it will be able to overcome all difficulties and win the future for civilization。

This must be the best gift that fate has brought me, the girl thinks so, no, it's not fate, this is the gift that my uncle brought me, and my uncle is the gift that fate sent me, hey, uncle is the best, thank you, uncle.

Thinking of the departing Shuer, Delia was a little uneasy, the crazy behavior of taking the initiative to break into the big rift was unprecedented, none of the previous victims could come back, although in Delia's eyes, Shuer was already omnipotent, but the girl still couldn't suppress her worries, uncle, you must not have anything to do, when parting, you can tell me in person, we will meet again, although my parents said that even if you will not encounter danger in the big rift, you will definitely not have a chance to come back, but I know, you have never lied to me, this time it will definitely not be, you will definitely appear in front of meSmile and pat my head. By the way, you still owe me five gold nuggets in payment, you guy even rely on the child's pay, it's really the worst, only the next time you appear in front of me safely, I can forgive you, well, even forgive you for letting those guys take away so much equipment.

It's really a lot, so much that Delia snickered when she recalled it, even those strong supermen were about to be moved, especially the stout and fat beard, who was about to be overwhelmed by the goods on his body, saying that it was a work benefit for Sister Wei, and he was deceiving people again, where did Sister Wei use so much equipment, and besides, I had never heard of the external equipment of artificial intelligence, including anti-gravity levitators and ion thrusters, which were all things that could only be used in the Floating City. Moreover, I took away so many general-purpose computers, the reason was to find a group of boyfriends for Sister Wei, so that she would not be too lonely alone, what a stupid uncle, Sister Wei's eyes were about to spark, uncle, you wait, wait for you to go back, the painful life will accompany you for a long time, hehehehehe.

With happy thoughts, Delia's consciousness gradually blurred, fell into a deep sleep, lying on the bed, the girl had a happy dream, in the dream, there was no source of disaster, no fugitive fleet, no dangerous universe, no despair that followed us, only a normal world, a normal life. In the dream, Mom and Dad regained their youthful appearance, always by their side, living in a small but warm house, in the dream, they went to and from school like a normal child, and spent a good childhood, in the dream, one night, someone rang the doorbell, and when the door was opened, the uncle was standing at the door with his friends, showing a kind and familiar smile.

The next moment, Delia woke up from her dream.

At least she felt like she was waking up from a dream.

Where am I?" the girl sat up, thinking to herself, she could be sure that she was not in the bed where she had fallen asleep, or even on the familiar Jackdaw, for as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a dark and deep starry sky.

Below was the rough and hard ground, overhead was the starlit night sky, the breeze gently brushed the girl's cheeks, and there was no metallic smell of the spaceship in the wind, and there was a hint of ethereal in the purity.

Looking up, a water-blue planet hangs on the starry sky on the horizon, huge stars are like fireballs, slowly rotating around the water-blue planet, more unknown than the stars, hundreds of half-real and half-imaginary planet images are revolving around the blue planet in their respective orbits. Farther away, billions of stars emitted a little starlight, and the sky was full of brilliance, and the stars twinkled.

Looking down, there is dark red land under his feet, the ground is barren and barren, there are no plants, there is no breath of life, leaning over and grabbing a handful of dust, the soil is dry and rough, rubbing it in his hands like gravel, obviously not beautiful at all, but it gives the girl an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

What planet am I on?" the girl blinked, confused, completely unascertainable what was happening, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she jerked to her feet and looked behind her, the same starry sky, and not the source of the terrible and dark calamity as she had imagined.

Is there no source of disaster? Or is it on the other side of the planet? The girl frowned, and had a bolder idea, or was it that I was no longer in the same world?

However, she didn't think too much about it, and when she looked back, she realized that this was not a barren star, for as soon as she turned around, she saw a magnificent temple, sitting quietly not far behind her.

Delia had never seen a temple, not even in her childhood stories, but in her memory during her education, she had heard of such an ancient name a few times, and it was just a noun, and she couldn't even imagine the image. However, the moment she saw this temple, the girl immediately thought of this term, and in her heart, only the title of the temple was enough to describe the complex in front of her.

The spacious square, the towering statues of the gods, the tall buildings, the white stone steps, the endless majesty and mystery, from the building complex, as if you can directly feel the majesty of the gods.

"Dang, dang, dang", several long bells rang from the depths of the temple, and the bells carried endless penetrating power, as if they pointed directly to the depths of Delia's soul, making her can't help but have an urge to bow.

Following the sound of the bell, the girl walked under the statue and looked up at the statue, the goddess's long hair was scattered behind her, and she hung her head slightly, looking down on the world with a compassionate expression. It was an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and when the girl saw the statue of the god, it was as if she had seen a mother's feeling, safe, relaxed, and defenseless.

"Here...... Could it be the temple of the Goddess of the Dark Moon?" A strange thought rose in the girl's heart, obviously she was in two worlds, and it was obviously impossible for this to happen, but the first thing that came to Delia's mind was this most unlikely answer, "Strange, if that's the case, how did I come here? Shouldn't I sleep on the spaceship? No, I'm still dreaming, it's just that I spend too much time praying during the day, which causes me to dream here at night?" It's not right, even if it's a dream, but I've never seen a temple before, how could I dream of such a real scene, and...... Five Senses...... So clear, it doesn't feel like it's in a dream at all. ”

The girl's heart was full of doubts, but there was a small expectation, she had already devoutly believed in the goddess, deep down she was looking forward to paying homage to the goddess's palace, offering her loyalty to the goddess in person, and now there was such a good opportunity, even if it was only in a dream, the girl decided to enter the temple to find the traces of the goddess.

Panting breathlessly, she climbed the long stone staircase, and with great difficulty pushed open the door of the temple, and through the solemn hall covered with openwork stained glass, the girl stood on a stone platform at the end of the hall, looking down at the empty space and the rows of long tables and chairs. This is the place where the spiritual leader preaches the teachings, the girl thought as she imagined herself standing on the stage in her robes, facing the thousands of Brown Star worshippers below, skillfully explaining the will of the goddess to the believers.

Hey, after a few decent poses, the girl snickered and shook her head, satisfied as if she had completed a smug prank, and after confirming that the hall was empty, she quietly pushed open the door behind the hall and entered the interior of the complex.

As soon as I pushed the door open, my eyes suddenly opened up.

Behind the door is a spacious courtyard with blooming flowers and green grass, which is as beautiful as a dream in the contrast of the barrenness and barrenness outside. In the garden, the white stone pillars point to the sky, and the stone pillars are carved with beautiful patterns, as if they are not ordinary, exuding a gentle atmosphere.

"The palace of the Goddess of the Dark Moon is truly a beautiful place. Although there is no reason, in Delia's heart, she has determined that this is Luna's temple, and the beauty and grandeur of this place are indeed far beyond the girl's imagination, but unfortunately, if the little guy knows that this beautiful building is just a crumbling ruin in the real world, he will definitely cry.

"Where is the goddess?" thought to herself, and Delia's gaze seemed to be attracted by something, condensing through the flowers and trees in a small building inside the temple. Compared to the other buildings around it, the target was inconspicuous and there was nothing special about it, but the girl couldn't look away when she saw it, as if a voice in her heart was telling her that it was where you were going.

Then go and take a look, with such thoughts, Delia slowly walked towards the goal, her whole body relaxed along the way, there was no vigilance at all, this is the temple of the goddess, it is the safest place in the world, as a devout disciple of the goddess, what is there to worry about?

However, I don't know why, the closer Delia got to the goal, the slower her steps became, and a shadow was cast on her heart, and the keenness and spirituality of the priesthood made her keenly aware that once she walked into the goal, everything would change, perhaps...... Someone inside was waiting for her arrival.

"I'm going to be the hero of the Brown Star civilization, Delia. The girl said to herself, "What else should I fear?"

With the encouragement in her heart, the girl mustered up the courage and walked into the target building, and as soon as the door was pushed open, the girl was shocked and froze in place.

There was no light source in the room, but Delia seemed to see countless lights, there was no sound in the room, but the girl seemed to hear a loud and sacred chant echoing in her ears, the room was almost empty, only a one-man tall jade statue stood in the middle of the room, exuding endless majesty, making mortals ashamed of themselves, and in front of the idol, a girl with a crown and a black robe was kneeling to the idol, with a focused and reverent expression, with deep affection.

You are...... Delia could be sure that this girl, who was about the same age as herself, was definitely not the goddess of the dark moon that she believed in, but as soon as she wanted to ask, she was stopped by a wave of the kneeling girl.

The girl was not surprised by Delia's appearance, or even looked back, but raised her index finger to make a silent gesture, and then patted her side lightly, as casually as if she were inviting a familiar friend.

Delia was stunned for a few seconds, looked at the black robe on the other party's body, and confirmed that it was the same style as herself, then let go of her doubts and vigilance against strangers, slowly walked to the girl's side, followed her example, knelt down to the statue in front of her, crossed her hands and ten fingers on her chest, closed her eyes and prayed silently.

"There is not much time left today, I will only say it once, you remember carefully, don't forget. The girl finally finished praying, her voice was crisp and pleasant, but her tone was serious and even a little heavy, "I am Lord Luna's surrogate in the mortal world, the archbishop of the Temple of the Dark Moon, and the first apostle of Lord Luna. This is not a useless ritual or ritual, it has a specific meaning in the rules, and if it is not carried out, you will not be able to exercise the authority of the vicarious in your world. ”

"However, due to your particularity, it is difficult to hold the authorization ceremony in person in a practical sense in the short term, so you can only use this way, fortunately, although the method is different, the meaning is still recognized by the laws of the world, and it has a complete effect. Therefore, today I ask the Goddess for permission to summon your spirit body into the Goddess Lord's Divine Kingdom, although it will take some effort, but it can avoid the obstacles of the world barrier and allow the two of us to communicate face to face. ”

"As a child of the goddess, I don't want to waste too much of the adult's divine power, so I'll omit the meaningless ritual steps in the front, and let's start directly. Lisa finally turned to face Delia, with a holy smile on her face, and instead of drawing a circle on her chest as the Darkmoon Priest should do, she stretched out her hand like a mortal, "Then get to know me, I'm Archbishop Lisa, you can call me Lisa-sama, and of course, I'll also give you permission to call me by my name." ”

"I ...... I'm Delia from the Brown Star, and it's a pleasure to meet you. The girl bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but still took Lisa's outstretched hand, "According to you, I should be in the Brown Star World...... ......"

"The district bishops, the upper echelons of the Church after the archbishops, of course, are of a different system from the battle priests, and there is no comparison. Knowing that Delia didn't know the details of the church, Lisa took the initiative to introduce herself for her, "Are you glad to meet me? ”

"Huh?" Delia exclaimed briefly, looking at the strange girl in bewilderment.

"Actually, I am glad that you have joined the ranks of the Darkmoon Cultists, you have brought enough faith to the Goddess and have brought great help to the development of the Church, and for this, I am not only welcome you to join, but even full of gratitude. Lisa explained faintly, "But, personally, I don't really like you, because of your appearance, all the things that will have to be done in the future have become more and more troubles, and the most important thing is that I am the one who should stand by my brother's side, but as soon as you appeared, you took away my brother's attention, and he even put the honor of establishing the channel of faith on your and my heads, and asked me to cooperate with him in lying." ”

"Huh? What are you talking about? Delia looked puzzled, completely incomprehensible to Lisa's nonsense, "Who is your brother, and, what is lying together, what honor?"

"Heh, it's nothing, it seems that my brother is really deceiving people again. Lisa smiled mischievously, wrinkled her nose and said slyly, "My brother is sometimes stupid and completely ignores that we can meet like this, but I can guess why my brother is lying, for my sake, although I don't like it, I still reluctantly pretend not to know." ”

"So, who is your brother? ”

"What do you say?"

"Uncle, isn't it?" Delia's eyes widened in surprise, "You're uncle's sister?"

"Ha, if you call him uncle, then I will be more relieved. Lisa's eyes became more kind as she looked at Delia, and even her smile became much kinder, "That's the end of introducing yourself, now let's officially begin." ”

"Oh, yes. ”

"Under the light of the dark moon, in the name of the First Apostle of the Lightless Moon, he recognizes the position of Bishop of the Brown Star World of Delia and grants him the responsibility of acting as the presiding master...... Praise the Lord, praise the moon without light, holy. ”

"Holy. ”
