(); Chang Ming returned to the organ factory.

In this turbulent stream, the machine factory is like an oasis in the desert, with an unusual sense of security.

He entered the factory and glanced at the time by the way.

This was a bit surprising to him, he obviously didn't stay in the factory, but the time still coincided. That is, this is a forty-eight-fold slowdown!

He'd been here for more than an hour, and if he went out now, it would probably only be a few minutes outside.

Chang Ming was stunned for a short moment, then looked at the crystal reader in his hand, and suddenly understood.

The turbulence here is not only air and space, but also time. The reason why the machine factory is able to slow down the flow is not because of its own function, but because it is located in this space.

Time is more complex than space. Chang Ming listened to the evaluation of the Grandmaster, and knew very well in his heart that no one was studying this area, whether it was the Earth Founder or the Great Grandmaster of the Organ—no one dared!

However, it seems that the Eternal Age has made some attempts in this regard, and it is difficult to say to what extent.

Chang Ming's heart suddenly moved, and he walked out of the organ factory in a flash.

He was staying alone in Ye Zhai's room when someone knocked on the door. He sensed and swept over there and found that it was Ye Pingzhou who was standing outside the door.

Chang Ming went over and opened the door, Ye Pingzhou looked at him for a moment, and asked, "You have already got the results of the priesthood exam, right?"

Generally speaking, the final results are not notified by the temple until all the six days of exams have been completed. But Chang Ming had just finished the exam, and the silver priest in charge of the exam, Xian Shuhe, told him the results. Then. Xian Shuhe's face was full of excitement, and he seemed to be satisfied with his exam results.

Chang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, it has been passed." ”

Ye Pingzhou walked into the room and sat down on a chair. Motioning to him, "In that case, there are some things that we should talk about as well." ”

Chang Ming originally only had a good relationship with Lu Qianxue, but for a few days. He also has a lot of respect for Ye Pingzhou. He sat down in the chair across from him and listened intently.

Ye Pingzhou said: "I don't know why you insist on going to work in the temple, but since you have made up your mind, we will not stop you." ”

The word "we" fully shows that his words not only represent him personally, but also mean Lu Qianxue. Chang Ming nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

He had already made up his mind, Ye Pingzhou and Lu Qianxue would not change even if they wanted to persuade them, but he was still very grateful to have the support of these two people.

Ye Pingzhou patted his knee. Ponder for a moment. Say, "It's in your own home." I'll tell you something straight. ”

He straightened his face and said solemnly, "Have you seriously considered the relationship between the Organ Master and the Divine Temple?"

Chang Ming looked up sharply. Look directly at him. Ye Pingzhou's eyes were deep and very serious. Obviously, every sentence is said after careful consideration.

Chang Ming was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I already had some feelings before......

Ye Pingzhou smiled slightly: "Then let's talk about it." ”

Chang Ming was silent again. He is almost used to hiding everything in his heart, especially after he has made up his mind to do something, and he almost has a little taste of walking alone. Now Ye Pingzhou asked him to talk about it, he didn't know where to start for a while, and he didn't know what kind of point he could talk about.

After a long while, he said tentatively, "I feel that the relationship between the Mechanics, especially the Earth Creators, and the Divine Temple is not so harmonious. ”

Ye Pingzhou smiled again: "Haha, you said it quite tactfully." ”

He nodded briskly and said, "You're right. Regardless of whether our personalities are compatible or not, no matter how we relate to each other, our attitude towards the temple is very consistent. ”

He pointed upwards and said briefly, "The temple looks down on us, and we look down on them!"

At this point, he laughed self-deprecatingly twice and said, "Hey, it's not worth it, we're not there yet." If it's a Heavenly Creator, at the level of an Earth Creator, the temple can be built in minutes, and the seven of us are here, just what it means. ”

Ye Pingzhou said it too directly, and Chang Ming was stunned for a while. After a moment, he asked, "What do you mean?"

Ye Pingzhou said: "That's the temple to show that we are independent, and we humans are also independent! The temple is just an assistant to us, and it has no intention to control us." ”

"It's just an assistant, you don't want to control it?" Chang Ming sneered and said dryly, "But aren't they actually controlling us?"

His tone was extremely mild, but the meaning contained in it was surprisingly heavy: "Pure prohibition, trap warfare, divine punishment of knights, control of gems...... Isn't all of this through both soft and hard means to firmly control human beings and mechanics in their hands?

This was the first time he had said such a thing directly, and as soon as he said it, he felt as if he had unloaded a big stone, and he breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

He raised his head and saw Ye Pingzhou staring at him deeply, and asked, "Since you know so well, then I still have to ask you, why did you enter the temple?"

Chang Ming pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "You should think that I learned some tricks from the temple!"

Chang Ming obviously had no intention of talking deeply, Ye Pingzhou was silent for a long time, and patted him on the shoulder: "I came here today to remind you. I don't want you to have any illusions about the temple...... I didn't expect you to see it so deeply. ”

There are some things that Chang Ming has never said to others, but at this time, he wants to say them in front of Ye Pingzhou.

He took out two control gems and placed them in front of Ye Pingzhou. One of these two control gems is about the size of a pigeon's egg, and the whole body is red, which is an excellent fire function gemstone. And another piece. Ye Ping's face changed drastically when he saw it, staring at it with surprise and joy, not to mention talking, he almost had to stop breathing! This is the Ground Rank Space Gem that Chang Ming got just now. He took it out in front of Ye Pingzhou like this!

Ye Pingzhou took a few deep breaths, and finally suppressed the intense emotions. He smiled bitterly and pushed the ground step space gem in front of Chang Ming: "You quickly put this thing away, if you don't put it away, I won't be able to hold it!"

Chang Ming laughed: "If you can't hold it, you can't hold it." This gem was originally intended to be given to you. ”

Ye Ping was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Do you know what it is?"

Compared with his prudence, Chang Ming was surprisingly casual: "A ground level space is a functional gem, isn't it?"

Ye Pingzhou immediately jumped up: "Yes, a ground level space gem! You know what it is, you dare to give it away?!"

He stared at the gem several more times, resisted the passion of reaching out to touch it, shook his head, and said, "Where did you get it?" I've only seen it in the temple's treasure trove!"

He shook his head again, "No, no. Even in the treasure trove of the temple. It's also amazingly rare to see such gems!"

Chang Ming asked, "I just have a question for you, it is said that only the temple can be exchanged for functional gems?"

Ye Ping was stunned. His gaze turned away from the spatial gem, barely composed. He muttered, "Theoretically. That's right. ”

"Theoretically?"

"Yes, it is said that if you reach level 4 or above with spiritual power, you can make functional gems. A long time ago, there used to be such a skill, but then it was lost, and only the temple had it. Therefore, all the functional gems are now from the Organ Temple. ”

"In other words, the pinnacle-level organ grand master has this ability, but he doesn't know how to do it, right?"

"Yes!"

"Are all the functional gems made by the temple?"

"Now, yes. ”

"Are there any naturally occurring functional gemstones?"

"Naturally generated? I haven't heard of ......"

Before Ye Pingzhou finished speaking, Chang Ming suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the space gem in front of him. Ye Ping was stunned and looked in the direction of his finger. Then, he suddenly realized and asked in shock, "You mean, this Ground Rank Space Gem was naturally generated?"

Chang Ming nodded: "I can't tell you where it came from, but it's really naturally generated." Space gems are also relatively rare among functional gems, since they can all be generated naturally, then the more common ones, fire-type, ice-type, and wind-type gems, are there also naturally generated?"

Ye Pingzhou shook his head blankly: "I've never heard of ......"

Chang Ming then asked, "Why haven't you heard of it? Why is it that only the temple can exchange functional gems, and why is the technique of making functional gems lost?"

After three questions in a row, Chang Ming lowered his voice and asked softly, "Why was the Eternal Era, with its incomparably brilliant technology, destroyed?"

Ye Pingzhou followed his train of thought and kept thinking, and the shock on his face became stronger and stronger.

He stared at Chang Ming in disbelief and asked in a breathless voice, "You mean ......?"

Chang Ming stared at him and asked rhetorically, "Even so, can the temple say that they are only assisting humans, and they don't want to control humans?"

There was a dead silence in the room, Chang Ming was the first time to directly express his innermost thoughts, and Ye Pingzhou was also the first time to hear someone say it naked.

But both of them knew that such thoughts did not come out of nowhere, but were accumulated in their hearts. Countless events, large and small, bear witness to all this, and humanity, or mechanics, have never been free.

Their every move, their thoughts, all their desires, the way to achieve them, are all firmly in the hands of the Temple!

There are hard pure prohibitions and divine punishment knights, soft has all kinds of economic means, and even the large amount of attrition and judgment rights caused by the organ war are all controlled by the temple!

The temple used this method to control all the humans on the Heavenly Dome Continent, making them become vassals of the Organ God and a slave of the Organ God!

Yes, humanity has never been free, and under the control of the Organ Gods, they are just slaves!
