The high priest had actually heard the legend of the "apostles" quite a few times.

This is also related to the inheritance system of the position of "high priest", and when each high priest succeeds to the throne, he will begin to select and train successors in a planned manner.

Of course, it is not one or two people who are selected, which is too unsafe, the number of people is often five to seven, and the maximum number of people has reached nine, which is also the upper limit of cultivation stipulated by the "Sea God".

That is, there are at least five potential successors, and a maximum of nine, who will not follow the High Priest for long, but once chosen, will enter the vaults of the Grand Temple.

Once inside, there will never be a chance to leave the Great Temple until the incumbent High Priest dies and the new High Priest is appointed by the "Sea God".

As for those who are not elected, the outcome is of course a dead end, and there is no other possibility, even during the life of the Great Temple, these people will not see each other.

They don't even come into contact with any outsiders, except for the occasional meeting of the high priest, and the rest of the time they spend the rest of their time in their own secret rooms, receiving the "blessing" of the gods, that is, gradually transforming into the form of the high priest.

Of course, this is not to say that they will become exactly the same, but that they will gradually shed the gender characteristics of the merfolk, and other physical characteristics will change accordingly, becoming more suitable for receiving the will of the gods.

This is also why in the entire temple system of the mermaid clan, only the high priest can communicate with the "sea god", because this requires a long time of transformation, and each high priest is "blessed" year after year before finally having the qualification of succession.

And this period of time to be transformed is generally extremely long, don't look at every high priest is an old dragon bell, dying weak chicken, in fact, these guys have a very long lifespan, comparable to the old turtle.

Under normal circumstances, as a high priest, there will be no accidents and dangers, many high priests will not leave the scope of the Great Temple for a lifetime, plus the transformation of the "Sea God", they can naturally live for a long time.

On the contrary, those candidates who are waiting to succeed often have accidents when receiving "blessings", and it is normal for them to die or be replaced, but a replacement or something is also equivalent to death.

In this process of being transformed, the "sea god" will intermittently transmit some information, which is the so-called "oracle", and the incumbent high priest will also come to check and fill in the gaps, which can be regarded as instilling knowledge in the successor.

And in these messages, "Apostle" has been mentioned many times, and its upper entry is "God War"!

That's right, it's a very shocking entry, and it's the core secret that only the High Priest is allowed to know, and even the "Sea God" is a little vague about it, and doesn't explain it very deeply, just asking the High Priest to have this concept.

The current high priest has been on the throne for many years, and it is not long before he is even close to the limit, according to his own estimates, it is estimated that in another three or five years at most, all the life potential of this body will be squeezed out.

At that time, even if there is the nourishment of the origin of the gods, it is still a lack of skills to return to heaven, and the only way to go in the end is complete decay, but fortunately, the soul can return to the kingdom of God and continue to serve the "sea god" for eternity and eternity.

Well, the high priest himself doesn't believe much about what happened after him, because the "sea god" doesn't have much publicity and commitment to this, and even bluntly says that the kingdom of God is still in the founding stage, and the soul is even more ethereal.

This did not dampen the high priest's fanaticism and faith, and in the long period of divine blessing, not only was his body transformed, but in fact, his consciousness and spirit had already been highly assimilated by the original energy of the "sea god".

To a certain extent, the high priest is the marionette of the "sea god", although it is far from the level of being like an arm, but the degree of brainwashing is definitely a super high level, and there is almost no possibility of betrayal.

But the high priest still has a part of his personal will, which is also something that cannot be helped, and it can be regarded as an unavoidable imperfection in the process of transformation.

If the personal will is completely erased, then the entire sea of consciousness of the high priest will collapse, and naturally there will be no faith, and he will be completely a vegetative person, worse than the walking dead.

Fortunately, the degree of brainwashing is high enough, at least in all the cases so far, no high priest has had a serious problem, and he can basically satisfy the "sea god".

That is to say, the early transformation experience is not enough, and there have been some failed experiments, but the later it is, the more mature the technology, the probability of problems is very small.

As for now, the transformation technology has already touched the ceiling, and it has not been able to improve for a long time, and the current high priest is naturally a very mature transformation body.

The part of his personal will that he retains is almost always positive emotions, full of fanatical belief in the "sea god", and he is willing to give everything.

Moreover, the High Priest was glad to be able to come out on this mission, and in any case, he also knew that his life was coming to an end, and that he had spent the long years before him in the Great Temple.

Now to be able to come out to breathe, and to dedicate the last of his strength to the supreme "sea god" before dying is simply a well-deserved death, even if the high priest is a fanatical believer, he will inevitably be thrilled along the way.

What's more, the enemy is the legendary "apostle", that is, the other party is likely to be the agent of a hostile god, the same existence as himself.

That's right, the high priest recalled all kinds of information he had obtained from the "sea god", as well as clues, and had already guessed that he was probably an existence similar to the "apostle", but he was an apostle of the sea god.

The enemy in pursuit this time is the apostle of the unknown enemy god, because only the apostle has the ability to suppress and plunder the "Poseidon Pearl".

The reason is very simple, the "Poseidon Pearl" carries the origin power of the Poseidon, and the European qi of the warrior is not at the same level at all, even if the amount of the former is small, it is not something that the latter can covet, even if it is forcibly suppressed, the former can easily explode itself, and there is no possibility of being plundered at all.

The "apostle" is different, the high priest knows this very well, and he himself is in the long process of being transformed, little by little transforming his body into a container of the origin power of the sea god, and carrying this powerful and terrifying power as much as possible.

That is to say, in essence, his way of existence is similar to the "Poseidon Pearl", both are carriers of the Poseidon Origin Power, except that the High Priest is a conscious living being, and the "Poseidon Pearl" is just a dead thing.
