Climb a thousand steps, and the tall temple stands in front of you.

The temple, which is made entirely of white jade, exudes a holy and soft glow.

Jiang Ge recognized that it was clearly the effect of the collection of a large number of glorious crystals.

According to his estimates, I am afraid that more than ninety percent of the glorious crystals in this holy city have been used in this temple.

And before the temple, Jiang Ge also met the pope of the Glorious Church in Yin Shabai's mouth.

It was a tall middle-aged man with gray hair, dressed in a robe depicting white and gold, a golden crown inlaid with sparkling crystals, and the tip of a golden scepter in his hand.

But when Jiang Ge's eyes focused on his face, he found that his face was rough in outline, but unexpectedly soft, which made people can't help but feel like they want to be close.

This pope seems to be a little different from what he thought before.

Jiang Ge thought silently.

In the perspective of his Void Celestial Eye, almost eighty percent of this Pope's body had actinic phenomena, almost connecting with this temple.

Earlier Richard said that the Pope could not leave this temple, and it was indeed not a lie.

If this temple is the repressive thing that blocks the passage to the remains of the sun, then this pope is the heart of this temple.

Without his presence, this temple would not be able to truly function.

"I've seen His Majesty the Pope," Jiang Ge bowed slightly.

Yin Sabeth and Richard on the side also followed.

"Our saints, you are at last," the Pope replied with a chuckle.

His eyes were filled with a sense of vicissitudes and exhaustion, as well as inexplicable joy.

Because you saw me?

Jiang Ge thought to himself, he had thought that this alien pope would reject him very much.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

Jiang Ge glanced around the temple from the outside, and finally fixed his gaze on the Pope.

"His Holiness seems pleased with my presence?"

"The saints are the manifestation of the glorious will, and I am naturally glad that they have come with oracles." The Pope replied.

"Because of this temple?" Jiang Ge walked over to the Pope and looked at the temple.

The Pope smiled and turned to look at the temple side by side with Jiang Ge, "You can see it. ”

"It's not hard to see," Jiang Ge paused and said softly, "This temple can't hold it anymore. ”

What is suppressed below the temple is the passage to the wreckage of the sun.

Remembering the sight he had seen in the place where the sun had fallen, everything was covered in darkness.

If this temple were destroyed, it would be self-evident what would happen.

"Yes, this temple is almost untenable," the Radiant Pope's tone carried a strong sense of exhaustion, and then he smiled and said to Jiang Ge, "Come with me." ”

Jiang Ge was a little confused, but he didn't refuse and followed.

On both sides of the road leading to the temple, a large number of frescoes are depicted on it.

With Jiang Ge's eyesight, he quickly read the contents of the mural.

To his surprise, the frescoes were not a tribute to the greatness and sanctity of the Radiant Lord, but seemed to depict the scene when this second mountain and sea were just opened.

In the first painting, the sun is set in the ocean.

In the second painting, a loving mother holding a cradle gives birth to the earth on the wreckage of the sun, and the place where the sun fell becomes the center of the earth, and at the same time everything is born, and there are ragged creatures walking on the earth, which are the ancestors of the alien race.

In the third painting, the last spark of the ancient sun's wreckage is extinguished, and the light separates from the sun's wreckage, while darkness is born, and endless darkness turns into a tide that pours out of the sun's wreckage and spreads in all directions.

In the fourth painting, the surviving aliens kneel on the ground, pray to a dazzling light, and are subsequently given something.

In the fifth painting, countless corpses are piled up, and the ancient ancestors of the other race, using the corpses of their kind, advance little by little to the center of darkness, suppress it, and build a temple made of corpses.

In the sixth painting, a huge city is built around the temple, and in the temple a man kneels on the ground, bows his head, and wears a robe very similar to that of the pope today, and takes the scepter with great humility, under a holy radiance......

Six murals swept through the eyes one by one.

Jiang Ge had an enlightenment in his heart, and what was depicted in this mural was the process of the construction of this temple and the holy city.

"Is that what it costs to be pope?" Jiang Ge asked softly after the Pope who was slowly advancing.

"It's not a price, it's a responsibility," the Radiant Pope shook his head and smiled, "We, the Glorious People, were rescued by the Radiance to worship our Lord, and the Pope is the link between our Lord and the Radiant People, carrying out the will of our Lord, and leading the people to survive on this glorious land......"

"But as time went on, the darkness that had been suppressed under the Holy City grew stronger and stronger without our knowledge, until the sixty-seventh Pope, when there was a rebellion in that darkness, and from that time on, the temple seal, which had been built by the ancient ancestors at the cost of countless blood, appeared to be broken......"

"The sixty-seventh Pope summoned the most talented formation masters among the Radiant People to try to repair the seal...... But they all failed......"

"After everyone deliberated, they came to the conclusion that simple repair can no longer meet the needs of the seal, and there must be a living person as the core of the seal to control the seal in order to make the seal continue......"

"So, after that, the Pope's responsibility was one more responsibility to maintain the seal."

Jiang Ge listened to the Pope's narration and nodded.

Although the glorious pope omitted a lot of things, he embellished them somewhat.

But through the example in front of us, it is not difficult to see that this so-called use of living people to become the core of the seal is actually a kind of sacrifice in essence.

It's just a little milder.

As the core of the Pope, they are still able to preserve their existence, and if the darkness born of the sun's wreckage does not riot, they may live to the end.

Of course, if there is a riot, then it is not destined to live long.

After all, it is integrated with the seal and becomes the core, but it consumes the soul all the time, and if the power is mobilized again, the loss will be even greater.

Jiang Ge didn't ask questions like why he didn't ask the Radiant Lord to help.

He can think of it, can people not think of it?

It must have been a prayer, even thousands of prayers, but it went unanswered.

For these beings, there is never a need to respond.
