Chapter 56: The Land of God's Descent
"Your Excellency Chen Fan."
Just as Chen Fan was thinking in his heart, Carlisle, who was wearing a deacon's white robe, slowed down and came to Chen Fan's side quietly.
He bent down slightly, lowered his voice and greeted Chen Fan: "Your Excellency Chen Fan." β
"There's something I'd like to ask you about......"
Seeing Chen Fan's inquiring gaze at him, Carlisle hesitated and continued: "Lord Isa...... Where is it now? β
Hearing this, Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you looking for Isa?" β
"Or ......"
"Of course it's Lord Wallis looking for Isa." Carlisle hastened to clarify.
"Bishop Wallis ......"
Chen Fan was silent for a moment, and replied in a somewhat stiff tone: "Isha is no longer a priest. β
"What else does he want to do?"
"Do you continue to condemn Isha?"
"No, no, no."
Carlisle denied again: "I also heard about the incident two days ago, and I think Isha did the right thing. β
"It's not just me, I've heard that the bishops and the archbishop have also had a corresponding discussion, and they also believe that Isha is not guilty."
Hearing this, Chen Fan's sharp eyes gradually eased: "Then what does Bishop Wallis want to do?" β
"Since he is innocent, of course let Isha return to the church as a priest!"
Carlisle's tone was a little eager: "Your Excellency Chen Fan, if you know where Isa is, please be sure to tell her......"
Chen Fan glanced at Carlisle beside him and noticed the urgency in the other party's eyes.
His eyes moved slightly, and some of the confusion in his heart was explained accordingly:
No wonder the church sent a deacon from Carlisle as his guide.
Normally, in a formal setting, the clergy who lead the way for the chosen ones are priestsβjust like the high distances.
At first, Chen Fan thought that this was the church's way of expressing its dissatisfaction with him, but now it seems that he was wrong.
The Dare Church wants to play the emotional card, and its purpose is to bring Isa back to the church.
Chen Fan thought for a moment, and quickly figured out the reason: priests are different from deacons, as middle-level personnel within the church, priests have been exposed to many church secrets.
In other words, in order to ensure that Isha would not reveal her secrets to herself again, recalling Isha was the best option for the Church.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh secretly.
It's a pity.
The church's movements were still half a beat slower.
Not to mention the archbishop, I am afraid that even the Pope could not have imagined that at the moment of seeing his miracles, Isha had completely rebelled and become a staunch anti-Church member.
"Ahem!"
Chen Fan coughed lightly, slightly hiding the smile in his eyes: "She should have followed the rest of the believers to the land of the gods by now." β
Seeing that Carlisle's eyes were more anxious, Chen Fan vaguely flashed a little thought in his heart.
He continued quietly, "But don't worry, the next time I see her, I will definitely tell her about it." β
"I think Isha would be more than willing to return to the church as a priest."
Hearing this, Carlisle let out a long sigh of relief, and the burnt yellow skin under the white hood tugged at him slightly, revealing a heartfelt smile to him.
"Thank you."
"May the Lord be with you, Your Excellency Chen Fan."
β¦β¦
As it approached noon, the sky did not become brighter, but darker.
The sun shrouded in heavy clouds also became faint.
As Gao Yuan said before, when the gods come into the world, I am afraid that the sun will completely disappear in front of everyone's eyes.
As the sunlight decreases dramatically, so does the ambient temperature.
Compared to the morning, the temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius, and it is not difficult to imagine that when the sun disappears completely, the surrounding temperature may drop to near freezing.
To the southwest of Varela, the area around the Descending Land was already crowded with believers.
The entire area of the Descent is in the shape of a round platform, and its height is about three meters.
The entire round table is made of an alloy with a special sheen, and a thick layer of dark substance is sprayed directly above it - yes, like the main church, the place of the descent is a so-called godsend.
Taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding clergy were not paying attention, Chen Fan squatted down slightly, stretched out his right hand and gently touched the thick layer of dark substance on the ground.
[Compositional analysis completed.] γ
Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [This is a refractory coating that resists high temperatures. γ
[Normally, it is used on the landing pad of a starship with traditional propulsion.] γ
Hearing this, Chen Fan's heart couldn't help but sink.
Sure enough, it coincided with his first feeling - the moment he arrived at the land of the gods, Chen Fan vaguely sensed the truth of the land of the gods, which was actually a huge landing pad deeply embedded in the ground!
As for who the object of the rise and fall......
The answer is clear, it is the alien civilization that has never met!
Chen Fan stood up and silently looked at the believers kneeling on the cold concrete floor.
In the eyes of these believers, Chen Fan saw an incomparably fanatical look of reverence - even if the place of divine descent in front of them was just a huge metal landing pad, even if the landing pad was standing a "monster" whose name had been transformed into a half-machine, half-flesh body!
[What a deformed civilization......]
One exclaimed in Chen Fan's mind.
β¦β¦
Knock, knock, knock......
Accompanied by the humming sound of mechanical operation, a burst of dull footsteps interrupted Chen Fan's thoughts.
There was also a bit of commotion around the land of the Gods.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure wearing a red robe and more than three meters tall met Chen Fan's eyes.
Compared to the robes of other clergy, this bright red robe engraved with purple-gold lines is more graceful and luxurious.
The bright red robe was not fastened, but naturally opened, revealing the body under the robe!
It was a pure, mechanically made body!
Hands, legs, torso, skull......
Chen Fan didn't see any signs of flesh and blood, and some, just mechanical parts with a silvery-white metallic luster!
Countless fine mechanical parts are combined with each other to form this steel body with comprehensive quality far beyond flesh and blood!!
[Compared to the Bishop, the Archbishop's cardiopulmonary circulatory system has been completely replaced with a mechanical prosthetic.] γ
[The other party only retains his own brain tissue.] γ
[Strictly speaking, the other party no longer belongs to the category of carbon-based organisms. γ
Even though he had expected such a situation in his heart, looking at the archbishop in front of him, Chen Fan still felt a deep horror in his heart.
Ruthless, too ruthless!
What is the difference between keeping only the brain and the brain in a vat?!
Under the gaze of Chen Fan and the rest of the Chosen One, the archbishop walked to the central area of the Divine Descent with steady steps.
He threw his hands up in the air and shouted in a dull, slightly stiff synthesized voice, in an eerie tone:
"Lord, your most devout believer, I hereby welcome you to come!!"
