Chapter 13: The True Temple of the Gods

"When, when, when. The low chime was very penetrating, passing through the isolation of the wall into Shure's ears, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright outside the window, and the bright sunlight reflected in the stained glass windows of the Holy Hall, reflecting the shadow of the openwork window frame in front of Shure's bed.

It's strange, it's really strange, as a priest, Shur has developed a good routine of life in the past five years, and he will definitely wake up before five o'clock every day, unless for special reasons, such as sleeping on an unspeakable pillow for nearly ten days in a row, no matter how tired he is the day before, he will wake up on time the next morning, and there has never been a situation in the past few years where he has slept until dawn.

What's even more strange is the bell, the Temple of the Gods does have a bell tower, and there are also bronze bells whose sound can be transmitted throughout the city, but it never rings, no way, the main facilities of the Temple of the Gods are condensed by the divine power of the gods, and the same is true of the bronze bells, which gather power from the gods, no mortal can ring it, and the mortal world cannot bear it, so to speak, if the bronze bell of the Temple of the Gods rings, then the entire Pavatiga will be affected and undergo unpredictable changes.

But today, two impossible things happened at the same time, and everyone should be surprised.

However, Shul didn't find it strange at all, everything was expected by him, he just looked at the sunlight outside the window for a moment, then showed a knowing smile, and slowly began to wash and tidy up as usual.

The bell rang a few times before it dissipated, and there was silence all around, as if it were frozen, there was no sound, and every movement of Shuer, even if it was just breathing, made a sound that was so clear that it seemed to be heard by the whole temple.

However, Shul did not become tiptoeing because of this, and even hummed an unknown hometown tune while freshening up, but as if he enjoyed the silence so much, he did not even bother to think about the reason for the quiet.

After cleaning up his body, changing into a brand new Dark Moon Holy Robe, and taking a look at the half mirror on the wall, Xiu Er nodded with satisfaction, took nothing, and walked out of the Divine Hall with his hands behind his back.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, and the Hall of the Divine was empty, which could be explained by the fact that Lisa and the others had something to do and returned to the Rose Capital together, but even if I pushed the door open and walked down the street of the Temple of the Gods, there was no one at all, which was not unusual at all.

Although the population of the Temple of the Gods is not large, and it is not a big city, but the clergy on the street usually come and go, it is still relatively lively, especially during the day, it is impossible to see people like now, if it is not for the fact that the surrounding scenery has not changed, it will really make people suspect that this is still not the Temple of the Gods.

Yes, this is the Temple of the Gods. The more special it is, the more sure Shur is that this is the Temple of the Gods, the real Temple of the Gods.

The temple of the gods is not built, but the will of the gods is gathered together, condensed into a city, it does not exist with the mortal world, but in the form of projection, directly formed in the mortal world, to put it bluntly, the city of the daily life of the priests, in fact, is just a projection.

Since there is a projection, there must be an ontology, and Shure knows that it is this ontology, the real temple of gods, that he is now, and that he himself is not an entity, but a concrete form of his will with the help of divine power, as he has been summoned by Luna several times before.

As for why everything in the city is the same as the scene he saw yesterday before going to bed, there are many reasons to explain, and Shuer didn't bother to analyze them one by one, probably because of his personal cognition. After all, the temple of gods is beyond the comprehension of mortals, in order to take care of Shuer, a mortal, so that he will not have a psychological shadow due to contact with an incomprehensible existence, he can only use Shuer's cognition as a reference, it is estimated that different people standing here will see different temples of gods.

"Praise the Lord, praise all the saints. After confirming everything, Shure straightened up, drew his fingers round on his chest with the understanding of the Darkmoon Church, and with a holy smile on his face, bowed to the place where the bell rang. The streets were empty, of course, and no one responded, but Shure didn't expect anyone to answer him, and after saluting, he turned in the direction of the bell tower, which was in the middle of the city, a place called a sacred place.

In the mortal temple of the gods, the sacred place is just a large open space, with no buildings on it, let alone any decoration, just like the mortal city square, but the area of the city square is much larger.

However, the inhabitants of the temple of gods do not run to the square to wander around, in fact, the square is almost untouched all year round, and even if there are people who need to pass there, they will choose to detour, and only the workers who are responsible for cleaning the square every day will step in, and even if they do, they will clean it as quickly as possible, and then leave immediately.

Not because everyone is afraid of anything, but to be humble to the gods, because this empty field is a truly sacred place.

The nine hundred and twenty-eight gods each separated a trace of divine power to form the Temple of the Gods, and the condensed divine power first formed the main hall of the Temple of the Gods, and then formed the nine hundred and twenty-eight Sacred Halls. For the city, the main temple is the hub of the whole city, the symbol of the city, and the symbol of the covenant of the gods, and the location of the main temple, which symbolizes the covenant of the gods, is the sacred place, of course, the sacred place of the 'true' temple of the gods. As for the mortal city, the divinity of the main hall is too strong, not only because it is condensed by divine power, but also because the wall of the gods listing the true names of the gods is at the door of the main hall, and it really wants to be projected to the mortal world, whether it is the mortal world or the mortals in the city, it cannot bear it, so it can only be left blank.

The clergy naturally knew these secrets, and in order to show their reverence, even if it was just an empty square, they would never easily step into it, which meant that mortals would not dare to step on the land of the gods and offend the gods.

But Shur doesn't have to worry about offending the gods, I'm a mortal with an invitation, and I can't trespass anywhere. The invitation did not specify the time and place of the summons, but this kind of thing did not need to be indicated, since he woke up now, it meant that the time of the summons was now, and as for the place, since the summons was in the name of the Temple of the Gods, there could be no other place except the main hall.

Walking leisurely through the streets, Shur is not in a hurry at all, here, the will of the gods represents everything, if the gods are really in a hurry to see him, then the location where he appears will never be the bedroom of the Hall of the Dark Moon, but the door of the main hall, and now he has given himself time to prepare, which means that the gods can tolerate it, in this case, how can he not look at the things around him, especially after entering the interior of the main hall, he must hurry up and visit, after all, in every sense, he is the first mortal visitor here.

Indeed, there is an essential difference between mortals and gods, since the establishment of the Temple of the Gods, there has been no record of mortals setting foot in the main temple, believers may be like Shuer, when they are alive, they are called to the kingdom of God by the gods they believe in, but it is absolutely impossible to enter the main hall of the sacred place, and it is impossible to even get close, let alone walk around the wall of the gods.

If you have the opportunity, you have to seize it, otherwise if you go back and Lisa asks you but can't answer, it will really lose the majesty of your brother, even if it is for Lisa, you have to look at it carefully.

However, he immediately repented, because he found that there was no value in seeing.

Shur could be sure that the gods had prepared in advance for their visit, for as soon as they entered the area of the main temple, everything changed. The gods could no longer use his cognition to construct the environment, after all, mortals knew nothing about the area, so they could only face Shur in the original form of the main temple.

Therefore, everything Shuer saw, including the wall of gods engraved with the true names of the gods, and the main hall formed by the entanglement of divine power, he couldn't understand at all, the existence of those things was beyond the scope of Shuer's mortal cognition.

There is only a multi-dimensional space around, and strange lights and shadows are constantly flashing in the space, strange words and graphics are constantly appearing and disappearing, and all kinds of ever-changing images go from clear to distorted, and then from distorted to clear, and cycle back to clear. Unobservable, incomprehensible, and even ...... Indescribable, Shul found that human language was so pale that he could not tell anyone else what he had seen, and there was not a word in the language of Parvadiga to describe what he saw.

Standing in place, Shul forgot to even move on, no, it should be said, he could no longer understand where to go, so he could only stay where he was and sigh deeply. It's no wonder that the scenes outside are all constructed by borrowing their own cognition, if you really let yourself face the original appearance of the city, I am afraid that after returning to the mortal world, I will feel a deep pressure every time I enter and leave the temple of the gods. Fortunately, Xiu'er is a high-level priest, his mind is as resolute as steel, even if he can treat things outside of his cognition calmly, if he is an ordinary person, he will only see the scene in front of him, and he will probably be sluggish.

"The question is...... I'm lost. Even at this time, Shur was still in the mood to entertain himself, although he stood in place and couldn't move, he still pursed his lips and said to himself, "Theoretically, this should be the main entrance of the main hall, you have to go in, you can't let more than nine hundred holy spirits stand around me at the door for a meeting, tsk, that scene is too funny." ”

"The theory you are talking about is only the theory of mortals, Shuer. A familiar voice sounded in his ears, with a power that reassured Shuer, "Here, it doesn't really matter whether the door is inside or outside, you have now entered the real temple of gods, a world that no mortal has ever set foot in. ”

"Praise the Lord and praise the Holy Spirit!"
