Chapter 159: The Ancient Star Dome

"This is the most important temple on Paradise Hill because it is the source of faith. Stepping into the temple, the Pope said succinctly.

In the center of the temple, the tomb of the first Pope Van Si Ste is placed, and the bronze carved coffin is ten meters high, towering in the center of the temple.

More than 2,000 years ago, in the primitive and barbaric Middle Ages, it was this great figure who established the faith of the entire human race, and the dark and ignorant spiritual world of mankind shone into the first light from then on.

Innocent, who had walked through ten temples without showing humility, would bow down to the senior as respectfully as he does now before erecting the Pope's shrine.

Above the bronze coffin in the center of the mound, there is a thick stack of papers, and these yellowed papers together are the only book written by Van Stein in his life, called "The Divine Codex".

This volume alone made him one of the greatest figures in the history of the continent.

"Countless years ago, when he traveled through all the planes and traveled through all dimensions, he was one of the strongest in the history of the entire world, more than a thousand years before St. Faust. ”

"There is even a theory that Van is not a figure born of the Icadian plane at all, but from an older and more powerful civilization of the main plane, so it has wisdom and power far beyond its time, and this statement is also common in the case of His Excellency St. Faustus, who founded the World Tree Council a thousand years ago, and although it is very convincing, there is never any external evidence to show it." ”

Constantine said: "Perhaps, it is because they don't want others to find evidence. ”

But their very existence may be proof of that. The Pope said softly. "Look at the top of your head. ”

Constantine looked up and saw something incredible.

Above the temple, there was no dome, but a starry sky.

Thousands of stars are embedded in the inky night, like glowing foam floating on the vast sea.

In the whole world, no architect or painter has the ability to paint such a zenith painting.

So it's not a painting, it's a miracle.

The miracles left by the first popes.

Constantine stared at the vast and magnificent star dome in amazement, and remembered the lesson he had taken at the Royal Academy, and the astrologer had shown him with a magical instrument, "This is a picture of the dimensional universe. ”

"Not bad. The Pope nodded, "The golden star in the center represents the celestial realm where the Lord resides, and the Divine Code records that countless years ago, when His Majesty was meditating, his consciousness inadvertently came to the celestial realm, and according to his description, it was an infinite and infinite world. ”

It was during this meditation that he discovered a powerful being in this world that had never been known to any race before, and whose power far surpassed that of any known god. "It represents the eternal and divine order, which is radiance. ”

The Pope bowed his head and said to Constantine beside him, "Do you know what your mother's magic is best at?"

Constantine had never heard of his mother's best spell before, and even Joey rarely mentioned it, and the old man only vaguely said that his mother was the greatest magician in the history of Daybreak, and there seemed to be no magic that she could not learn.

"That woman can do anything, I kid you not, really. The old mage had a mysterious expression on his face that day, "The brilliance is on the top, we all thought that she was like the rebirth of the mage who founded the council a thousand years ago, and she lived out as a female version of St. Faust." ”

Looking at the magnificent star dome above his head, Constantine suddenly had an answer in his mind that even he found incredible, "Astrology?"

"In the Temple of Radiance, I told you that my old friend Laplace was one of the two greatest astrologers the continent had ever seen, the other being your mother. ”

The Pope looked at the starry sky above him, "Joey later told me that I wasn't surprised at all that you showed a perfect score on the astrology test when you took the entrance exam, because your mother used to do the same. ”

"The pendant in your pocket, as you may have known, is the key to the tomb of St. Faustus, but your mother did not have time to use it, but gave it to me for safekeeping. ”

"It does more than open the doors of Faust's mausoleum, it also contains some of the powers of St. Faust and a memory that can only be perceived by a person as gifted in astrology as your mother." ”

Constantine subconsciously took out the crystal pendant in his pocket and stared at it carefully, "But I still don't know what it is, although Master Joy said I used it once in the sewers." ”

This is about the projection of Younas summoning Beelzebub during the battle in the underground halls of Olympia, but inadvertently activating the power of the pendant.

"Without enough external force, the key will not be activated. "Did you have a dream the day you got it?"

Constantine's face changed slightly, and the apocalyptic scene in his dream was still fresh in his memory.

"Would you like to see it again?" the Pope's gaze fell on the pendant, "and after reading it, you will surely have a new appreciation for this key." ”

Constantine hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but nod, held the blue crystal pendant in both hands, and handed it to the Pope.

The pendant was one of only two relics left to him by his mother, and he really wanted to know what secrets were hidden inside.

The Pope stretched out his left hand and pressed it against the palms of Constantine's palms, and his right hand was raised high into the starry dome above the main hall, chanting ancient occult incantations.

As he chanted, from the bottom of the Heavenly Mountain to the top floor, a milky white light lit up one after another from the top of the temples, climbing to the top one after another, like a beacon of prayer.

"And the Lord said, Let there be light. The Pope said, looking at the heavens.

I saw that in the star curtain above the main hall, the golden point of light in the center, which represented the Radiant Heavenly Kingdom, flickered slightly.

A moment later, Constantine felt a shock in his heart, and looked up, only to see a dazzling pillar of divine light in the star dome sailing across the long void and falling to the top of the Heavenly Mountain.

The pillar of light appears so holy and sublime, magnificent and beautiful, and full of majesty, that it represents the purest light, the most irresistible order in the dimensional universe.

It was a light from the heavenly realm.

Compared to this light, all the magical powers that Constantine had ever seen in his life were paled in color, as insignificant as the light of the fireflies before the bright moon.

Only those who have the deepest understanding of the teachings of the Radiance can listen to the will of the Lord from the vast void and directly summon the radiance that belongs to the depths of the heavenly realm, either as a revelation or as a miracle.

This is the highest and most powerful divine art recorded by the Church: [Oracle]

The oracle appears in the world as the Lord himself comes.
