Chapter 4: The Vast System of the Heavenly Kingdom

In the face of this old man, Xia Xiu couldn't help but be disrespectful and submissive.

The old man standing before him was the [seraph] of the kingdom of heaven, the third sword-bearer, the miracle one of the ten calamities and ten commandments, the strongest one who split the sea, and the uncrowned vice-ruler and defender of the kingdom of heaven.

This is the ceiling of the heavens' combat power, the [Miracle One] who stands at the top of Terra's transcendentals.

At the same time, this is also the "old man" with the highest level of seniority in Tianguo.

The second sword-bearer, Qasim Muhammad, was his student, and the first sword-bearer, St. Valentine, was his junior, and many of the members of this and even the previous Resolution Assembly were his protégés.

Few people know exactly how long he lived.

100 years?

200 years?

Or longer?

No one knows his true age.

And the third heaven-based weapon of the Heavenly Kingdom, [Canaan], was also specially forged for him, which is enough to see how great his exploits are.

"You are an angel who was personally recalled by the book of Revelation, the last time it was Valentine who was called back, that kid was younger than you when he was called, I still remember the bruises on his face when I first met him, he was a notoriously prickly thorn in the Budapest region when he was not an angel."

"But he's not as good as you, he came back just a [angel], I remember it took him three years to become an [angel]."

The old man said to Xia Xiu with a warm face, he gave people the feeling that he was very hearty.

The blond young man also laughed along with the hearty old man, and he asked the old man:

"Did you just show up here?"

As the defender of the Heavenly Kingdom, Mu has been in the [Unknowable Land] for many years, and unlike the other two sword wielders, who need to be out on missions for a long time, his own existence is similar to that of the Dinghai Divine Needle.

Mu's role is to remain in [the unknowable] to defend the kingdom of heaven.

"I usually like to wander around here, but it's no coincidence that I'm here."

The kind old man smiled, and as he laughed, he turned his gaze to Jiamu, who was chasing butterflies.

"It's your dog, it looks pretty lively."

The blond young man looked at his unruly dog, and he smiled and said to the old man:

"If you want dog meat, I've got the ingredients ready."

Mu was stunned, then he shook his head with a smile.

"No, no, the old man has bad teeth."

"Well, can you accompany me on a trip, I just happened to take you to the storage place of the [Holy Ark], and you probably came back here for it."

"It's my pleasure." Xia Xiu leaned over and replied.

"Let's go, then."

Mu smiled happily, and he walked slowly towards the towering buildings in front of him with a cane in his hand, while Xia Xiu turned around and gently kicked Jiamu's buttocks, motioning for the other party to follow him.

The blonde youth followed the old man side by side, followed by a white-haired and red-eyed dog.

"It's no coincidence that you just said you were looking for me." Xia Xiu opened his mouth and chatted with the old man.

"Well, it's really not a coincidence." Mu replied with a smile, and the kind old man seemed to like to laugh very much.

"Because I've lived long enough, I'm lucky enough to have some privileges in the Heavenly Kingdom, such as proper access to some of Eden's internal operation data, so I know that a child is going home, and I can't help but come and take a look."

The kind old man spoke very modestly about a very outrageous thing.

Eden is not qualified to interfere with any angel, and even the resolution assembly cannot access its internal information and data for no reason.

"And why did you come to me?" The blonde youth's tone became more and more humble.

"Those thirteen people are very interested in you, because once you link to the [Ark], you will officially join the inner circle of the Kingdom of Heaven."

At this moment, the blonde youth and the kind old man stood in front of a huge boundary monument, which was a full sixteen meters high.

We create gods and establish beliefs to depict our salvation. 】

[We hold the genealogy in our hands and analyze the ether in order to become the omniscient one. 】

Mu raised his head and looked at the huge boundary monument in front of him, a trace of deep sadness flashed in his eyes when he looked at the font on it, but he quickly restrained his emotions, and he continued to say to Xia Xiu about the topic just now:

"The Kingdom of Heaven is one of the few genealogical organizations that allows non-high-stage transcendents to enter the decision-making level, and most of the thirteen people in the decision assembly are not high-stage thaumaturgists."

"The same is true of this year's resolution rally, except for 02 and 013, no one dares to fight with me."

"And the reason why these low-level people can become members of the decision-making circle is related to the open class system of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the average [Measurer] can be promoted to [Angel of Power] after serving in the Heavenly Order for 15 years. Of course, this refers to the absence of meritorious blessings. ”

Mu turned his head to look at Xia Xiu.

"The electors for the Resolution Assemblies are chosen from among the [Site Directors] of the Celestial Nation's containment sites in Terra, and [Site Directors] are selected from among the on-site containment specialists, researchers, security personnel, or response personnel."

"However, most of the [Site Directors] are selected from among the senior researchers on site, in other words, although we are always called brutes, our management and decision-making are actually academics."

In the face of the old man's self-ridicule, Xia Xiu also laughed cooperatively.

"The Assembly of Resolutions wields the greatest power in the kingdom of heaven, Eden is at their service, and Yahweh is subject to their oversight."

"In addition to the Resolution Assembly, there are four other core institutions in the Kingdom of Heaven: the Inquisition, the Burial Authority, the Knights, and the Ethics Committee."

"Their top level is the real one, and only high-level thaumaturgists can hold it."

"The first is the Inquisition, and only a very small number of angels are qualified to be Inquisitors, and they are usually alone. At the same time, they have extremely inflated personal privileges, and the chief judge of the trial court sometimes does not even look at the faces of the members of the resolution assembly. ”

"Oh, I remember that many members of the Resolution Assembly were seized by the inspection forces of the Inquisition, and that the boy Muhammad was one of the six presiding judges of the Inquisition when he was not the second sword-bearer, and he had the opportunity to become the chief judge, but after he became the sword-bearer, he began to like to wander around, and in the end he was not even the presiding judge."

"And the reason why the trial court was able to check and balance the resolution assembly is related to the ethics committee."

"The role of ethics committees, as the name suggests, is to assess and confirm whether the actions of the kingdom of heaven have crossed the basic ethical bottom line."

"The kingdom of heaven does not rule the world, the kingdom of heaven serves the world, and the kingdom of heaven is not evil. We are not enforcing the law 'without reason', and we are against unnecessary cruelty. That is, someone has to decide when to be cruel, and that person is ethics. ”

Most of the time the committee is treated as a group of pointless, "agree" stamps that never dare to speak out against it, highly attached to the Inquisition's inspection force, but this year's resolution rally included a former member of the ethics committee, so the situation is a little more complicated. ”

Xia Xiu listened honestly to the nagging of the third sword-wielder on the side, he now understood the purpose of the other party's coming to him this time, this old elder was here to promote his immature junior, and the old man's words continued.

"Next up are the Burial Agencies, which have a large number of burial squads, which are elite units of personnel drawn from various departments in the Kingdom of Heaven to deal with special threats, and if necessary, between on-site facilities or cantonment locations."

"The burial team has a direct connection to the containment site of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the members of the Thirteen Resolutions assembly have their own burial team, so you should understand the relationship between them."

Xia Xiu naturally understood that the burial team was highly bound to the resolution assembly, and they formed a situation of separation of powers and confrontation with the trial court, while the inspection force of the trial court was highly bound to the ethics committee.

In general, the power of the Resolution Assembly is higher, as they have the support of the genealogical think tank Eden and Supreme Procedures, but they also cannot wield their power with impunity, and the Ethics Committee has the support of the Inquisition.

The burial organs serve the major sites, and they are also the knives in the hands of the Resolution Assembly, which can be both external and internal.

"Finally, there is the Knights, and the Knights are an ancient and glorious army, they are stationed in military places on the ground, and most of the members are knights who have not lived in the Heavenly Lineage, and knights can become angels by accumulating merits."

"They are the regular forces of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Knights are under the control of the [heroes], and most of the Knights are now in the Ohak region on the border between the Oretin Empire and the Daevite Empire."

"There is now a [proxy war] going on in the Wahac region, with the Wahak alliance of small Wahak nations resisting the Oretin expedition to the west, the central providing arms to the Wahak, and the Knights being responsible for containing the huge mechanical and transcendent forces of the northern Daeva south."

Mu tapped the ground with the cane in his hand, and he said with a solemn face:

"Resolution assemblies, inquisitions, burial bodies, ethics committees, knights."

"Relying on the maintenance of the genealogical think tank Eden, the behemoth called Heaven can run as meticulously as a precision machine."

"But—"

Mu's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, he stared at the young blonde youth in front of him, and slowly spoke:

"This kind of machinery is too slow, and there are too many enemies in the heavens, those enemies above the stars, those monsters in the deep sea, the [Aether Ocean] from time to time [Aether Tides] ········"

"All these things tell us that we're too slow and heavy."

"And the kingdom of heaven is afraid of change, because change means that there is a possibility of decay, and the kingdom of heaven is afraid of itself, because if it falls, then the whole of Terra, the whole of humanity, will become a boundless purgatory."

"02 Eager for change, the other members of the resolution assembly also have different thoughts, and there are some things that even I don't know; The Inquisition is too mad, and the will of the individual is both the most powerful force of the Inquisitor and the most terrifying lurking danger; The burial traps are constantly in contact with the anomalies produced by the Aetheric Ocean, and they are always on the verge of danger and depravity; Ethics committees are too concerned with human nature, sometimes they are bold and fearless, sometimes they are timid; Most of the troops commanded by the [heroes] of the Knights are not angels, so the troops are only under their orders, not the heavens. ”

"Eden, the genealogical think tank, has added a lot of unnecessary calculations out of thin air due to the complex structure of the heavenly kingdom, and [Yahweh] is always keeping an eye on the whole of Terra and the [Aetheric Ocean]."

Mu's expression became more and more solemn, and he stared at the blonde youth and said:

"Hugh Abraham, what is your choice?"

The blond young man looked directly into the oppressive eyes of the old man, took off his hat and placed it on his chest, and then turned to stare at the huge boundary monument standing in front of him.

"It's time for the Resolution Rally to be reorganized, right?"

The blonde young man turned his figure to look at the old man, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, those golden eyes were so naked to show his ambition, the old man looked directly at such a pair of eyes, and his face couldn't help but smile again.

"Hahahaha-"

The old man couldn't help but laugh.

"You're so unabashedly ambitious, and you have a big appetite, so you're so sure you're in that position."

Xia Xiu watched the old man laugh quietly from the sidelines, he had already thought about what he wanted before coming to the [Unknown Land].

Resolution assemblies, inquisitions, burial bodies, ethics committees, knights.

The first thing he excluded from the above four was the ethics committee, and then there was the burial agency, neither of the above two was suitable for him, their attachment was too strong.

The Inquisition and the Knights were ruled out later, and Xia Xiu was not really averse to becoming a [Yingjie] or an Inquisitor, the former with a large transcendent army, and the latter with an expansive personal privilege.

However, [Yingjie] and the Inquisitor never had access to Eden and Yahweh.

The decision-making level of the Kingdom of Heaven is always a meeting of decisions, and Xia Xiu needs to obtain some truth from [Yawei], and as the old man in front of him said, the huge machinery of the Kingdom of Heaven is too slow.

When the time comes for the second expansion, the entire sky of Terra will be blocked, and the false sky will be covered over the whole of Terra, which is the prelude to the arrival of the dreadful ones in the starry sky and the return of the Aether Monarchs.

The Scarlet King's "Ensemble Interpretation" is just a warm-up for a larger repertoire to come.

"The place where [the ark] is stored has arrived."

Mu took Xia Xiu outside the huge synagogue where the [ark] was kept.

"Go in, after linking the [Sacred Ark], if you are lucky, you will get the [Spirit of Words] that belongs to you."

Hearing the old man's words, Xia Xiu subconsciously glanced at the ten rings on the other party's hand, and the [Ten Commandments] of the old man in front of him was one of the top words in the kingdom of heaven.

"It's really a matter of luck..." Xia Xiu chuckled.

Anyway, he hadn't obtained [the spirit of words] in his previous life, and it didn't matter in this life.

Xia Xiu told Jiamu to stay outside, and he walked towards the inside of the synagogue with his feet raised.
