The sudden invitation stunned Leo for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, motioning for the high-ranking cleric to lead the way.

Led by the clergy, the two walked down a spiral staircase from the side of the Templar Square into the underground area where the clergy lived.

Although it was closer to the lava in the crater, it wasn't hot, and it was even cooler than the Templar Square above.

The energy conversion formula patterns hidden on the basement walls are denser than the main body of the Volcanic Sanctuary above, and the effect of these transformation patterns seems to be different from the main body of the Volcanic Sanctuary above, and the biggest difference is the way the converted energy is stored.

Because when passing through a certain basement, he accidentally saw through the crack in the open door that this room actually contained an Alpha 793 type energy infusion device, and several high-ranking clergy actually put a few obsidian cube-like things in the energy infusion port of the device, which seemed to be to make energy blocks.

Although the Earth Federation is a medium cosmic civilization, its medium cosmic civilization cannot be compared with the real medium cosmic civilization in terms of civilization evolution.

Because in the early days when the Earth Federation came into contact with other cosmic civilizations, countless powerful alien civilizations brought a strong sense of crisis to the Earth Federation, and this sense of crisis caused the entire society to fall into unrest from top to bottom, which in turn made the Earth Federation's military, culture, and technology all develop in the direction of quick success.

In order to be able to make its civilization occupy a place among various alien civilizations, in order to be able to have the ability to fight back and even destroy hostile civilizations in the face of attacks from other alien civilizations, the entire Earth Federation is trying to improve its own scientific and technological level, weapons and equipment, etc.

It is difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time by relying on the Earth Federation's own scientific research, so the Earth Federation began to absorb their technology from other alien civilizations and integrate it into its own technology.

I have to say that this approach is indeed very effective, making the civilization level of the Earth Federation rise rapidly, and also making the Earth Federation not only not fall behind in the conflict with the surrounding alien civilizations that can be contacted in the future, but also occupy the top in many cases, and then complete the evolution from the low-level cosmic civilization to the middle-level cosmic civilization in a very short time, the entire evolution process is less than 10,000 years, and other alien civilizations who want to evolve to the middle-level cosmic civilization are usually counted in 100,000 years, or even millions of years.

It's just that after evolving to a mid-level cosmic civilization and learning the mysteries of the evolution of cosmic civilization, the Earth Federation regretted what it had done before, and even the politicians, military strategists, and scientists who formulated the entire civilization evolution plan at the beginning fell into the dust from the lofty reputations of heroes, sages, great men, etc., and were beaten as sinners of civilization and race.

From the contact with other middle-level cosmic civilizations, the Earth Federation found that the evolution of cosmic civilization is not based on how advanced the civilization is in terms of technology, how powerful its military is, and how prosperous its culture is, but how much this cosmic civilization has formed its own core civilization, and to what extent this core civilization has evolved.

This core civilization is just a concept that cannot be recorded, this concept can make the entire civilization itself, or it may be an idea suddenly born by someone in the civilization, the low-level cosmic civilization will gradually produce such a core civilization in the long process of evolution, and then they will take this core civilization as the center to develop other aspects of the entire civilization, and at the same time improve the core civilization in terms of civilization technology, culture, etc., and finally enter the level of intermediate civilization together.

The core civilization of a cosmic civilization is the evolutionary foundation of this civilization, just like a pyramid, the deeper the foundation, the greater the potential for the evolution of civilization, and the higher the pyramid will naturally be built.

However, the Earth Federation's practice of absorbing the knowledge of alien civilizations in terms of science and technology, military and so on, although the civilization has reached the level of intermediate civilization from these external technologies in a short period of time, it has not allowed the Earth Federation civilization to produce a core civilization.

Without the foundation of the core civilization, the Earth Federation civilization is like a top-heavy inverted pyramid, let alone allowing the civilization to continue to evolve, and even maintaining the existence of the civilization itself is very difficult.

Later, the development of the Earth Federation also confirmed this inference, after entering the intermediate civilization level, the Earth Federation has never made any progress in the evolution of civilization, and most of the Earth Federation's energy is also focused on maintaining the social operation of the entire Earth Federation itself, because as long as the Earth Federation government is a little lax, then the entire Earth civilization may collapse.

Leo felt this deeply, when he was a biochemical soldier, most of the various tasks he received were to quell the rebellion of the border colonization planets, solve the alien infiltration forces within the Federation, etc., all in all, the Earth Federation is definitely not as stable and peaceful as he showed to the outside world.

In this regard, the high-level of the Earth Federation is not doing nothing, watching the entire civilization go to destruction little by little, they have already thought of countermeasures when they found the problem.

The code of this countermeasure is a bit cheesy, called the Eden Project, the whole plan is very simple, that is, to completely block some planets suitable for human habitation, put enough human beings to continue the reproduction of the race into this planet, and do not provide any scientific and technological help to the people of these planets, so that these human beings can develop through their own evolution, and then form a new civilization, and the Earth Federation can absorb the core civilization produced by these new human civilizations and complete the repair of the missing parts of their own civilization.

The entire Eden Project is very mysterious, it can be said that it is the top secret of the Earth Federation, until thousands of years later, a civilian spaceship that encountered a cosmic storm and found a place to take refuge miraculously avoided all the protective devices of the Earth Federation and fell into an Eden experimental star, which was able to unravel some details of the Eden Project, and the experimental star that had been discovered naturally lost its experimental value and was withdrawn to the overall civilization of the Earth Federation.

The ordinary people of the Earth Federation only discovered at this time that the experimental star had developed an extremely high civilization, not only in terms of cultural knowledge, but also in terms of science and technology, and even some of the devices they had created through their scientific knowledge had reached the level of low-level cosmic civilizations and even higher-level civilizations, such as the Alpha 793 energy infusion device was the product of this experimental star civilization.

In the folk of the Earth Federation, this Alpha 793 type energy infusion device has a common name, called the universal energy infusion device, because this device can adapt to the infusion of all known energy in the universe, and even includes psionic energy and subspace energy, and it is precisely because of this device's extraordinary adaptability that it has attracted the attention of the Supreme Council of the Universe, and then the Earth Federation has obtained the qualification to send envoys to the Supreme Council of the Universe.

Because of this, the Alpha 793 energy infusion device has become the only commodity that can be exported to the advanced cosmic civilization of the Earth Federation, and in the future, except for some important warships and ground facilities of the Earth Federation itself, all such devices produced by the Earth Federation have been purchased into various advanced cosmic civilizations. The Seven Realms

In other words, the Alpha 793 energy infusion device that Leo sees now should belong to the device on a warship of a certain advanced cosmic civilization, and Leo is a little curious about who this advanced cosmic civilization is, so he scanned the device through the spiritual network, found the code number of this device, and according to the hidden information on the number, he knew which planet produced this device and which civilization it was exported to.

When Leo confirmed that the device belonged to the advanced cosmic civilization, his face showed a little doubt and thought, and he stopped to look at the carvings on the surrounding stone walls, and in his mind, he peeled off the useless parts of the carvings, and restored the energy conversion formula patterns in the carvings.

"Is there a problem?" found Leo stop and turned his head to look at the patterns on the wall, and the senior clergyman who was leading the way in front also stopped and asked Leo suspiciously.

"Excuse me, ...... pattern on this," Leo asked tentatively.

"It was designed by the Duke after receiving the Lord's oracle. The clergy was quick to reply.

After hearing this, Leo did not ask anything more, but it was appropriate for the clergy to continue to lead the way.

After that, the two of them came to the very bottom of the entire underground building, which resembled a meditation or silent hall that was common in churches, with a circular hall and dome that would amplify even the slightest sound several times.

In addition to the entrance, there is only a door on the opposite side of this hall, and the other side is directly facing the lava lake of the volcanic ground, which looks like an observation deck or something.

After arriving here, the clergy allowed Leo to go in by himself, and then he gently closed the door behind him.

"Hello, newborn Mr. Demigod. At this moment, a woman's voice came from the air, and then a woman dressed in priestly clothes was seen slowly falling from the sky, and her body also emitted bursts of soft light while falling, which made people feel extremely sacred.

If it is an ordinary person, seeing this scene may immediately produce the mood of bowing and worshipping, and even the weak-willed person will bow his head and bow down.

However, the only thing Leo did when he saw this woman was to analyze the other party with his mental network and perceptual abilities.

"Your Excellency's behaviour can be very disrespectful and may even be seen as provocation. Because Leo didn't have any concealment of his actions, the woman also easily felt Leo's spiritual net, and a little displeasure appeared on her face, and she said in a deep voice.

After being directly dismantled, Leo did not show any embarrassed looks, but only withdrew the spiritual network and perception, not because he felt embarrassed, but because he had already obtained the information he needed.

"Hello, Weaver of Destiny. Leo also bowed to the priestess in front of him.

The priestess in front of her has been possessed by the gods she believes in, and now she is basically equivalent to the weaver of fate, but this possession is essentially different from the divine descent of other churches, this possession is more like the spiritual seed in the psionic skill, that is, by implanting the spiritual seed in other people to achieve the method of controlling others, this psionic skill is a forbidden skill in the Earth Federation, even a high-level psionic person cannot learn, of course, this is just a superficial statement, and no one knows what the actual situation is.

It is the purpose of the Fate Weaver to see through Leo's identity, otherwise she would not have appeared in front of Leo in such a conspicuous way, and Leo's slightly ordinary salute did not arouse her disgust, after all, although she is nominally a god, she is actually just a demigod, and she is essentially at the same level as Leo, even if Leo's current power is far from being comparable to her.

As if it was deliberately targeted, the current Destiny Weaver was also very rude to a large number of Leo, and also used her divine power to sense Leo's situation, and said at the same time: "In Velon, there are not many demigods, and the appearance of each demigod will inevitably attract some attention, so the identity of each demigod is public, and Your Excellency seems to be an exception, I was also a little surprised just now, in addition to the one in Dyriat, there is actually a human demigod, I wonder if you can tell you your identity?"

The Weaver of Fate made no secret of her surprise, for Leo's presence did surprise him, and the sudden intrusion of an undisclosed demigod into his Templar realm reminded him of something very bad.

As he said, there are not many demigods in Velon, but they are not few, because except for a few true gods who stand at the top, including the swamp gods that have existed for thousands of years, are all demigods, and some evil gods lurking underground are also demigods, and there will also be some battles between demigods in order to compete for scarce resources, and when an untold secret of a demigod appears in the realm of another demigod, then it usually indicates the emergence of a demigod war.

Therefore, just now, the Fortune Weaver had thought of preemptively striking and severely assaulting this impudent intruder through the arrangement of the Volcano Sanctuary, but when he found out that this demigod was not on the list of known demigods, and did not show hostility, he became curious about this demigod, and the reason why he wanted to lose a rare incarnation and meet Leo face to face was not just because of a little curiosity, but more because the power in Leo's body was very similar to his divine power.

He has been in this world for many years, he has seen various gods and demigods, he has felt their power, and even learned their power so that he can integrate into this world, but he has never seen any god or demigod have any power similar to him, so he also thinks that he is unique.

It wasn't until he had just felt Leo's power and some of the ways in which Leo could use it that he realized that there was another one of himself, and it was a human being, which made him extremely curious, curious that he was willing to risk it and get an answer.
