13 Mink Street

"What do you mean you didn't see anything?" Neo blew out a smoke ring, "The future is split into countless lines, everything is possible?"

Richard put his hands in his pockets and said in a very relaxed tone: "Maybe, I have fallen."

"If you die, you won't be able to see it?" Neo asked with some confusion, "Then how did those prophecy priests achieve prophecy?"

“You can only predict but cannot change, so what’s the point?

In the long river of time, we need a carrier, and there is nothing more suitable than a powerful and long-lived self.

The best prophecy is when your future self tells your past self;

The best change is when your past self helps your future self change.

So I feel that I won’t survive the next era. If that’s the case, don’t I have to get off the field immediately and seize the time to play? "

Neo scolded: "In the end, do you still lose?"

At this time, Karen said: "Why can't we win? If we win, there will be no God. There will be no God..."

Karen also stood up, looked at Richard, smiled and said:

"Without God, naturally there would be no you."

Richard said: "Then you have to win thoroughly?"

Karen responded: "As you just said, our order has always been very domineering. Since we want to win, why not win completely?"

"Are you sure this is what you should say to your new partner? No matter whether you win or lose, you want me to die?"

"Giving up your position as a god is not death."

"What's the difference between this and death? I said, aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"

"Don't worry, because you have too many things in your heart that are higher than God."

"I'm curious. Winning the largest divine war is sometimes not difficult, but how do you do it so that the followers who follow you to win this war will voluntarily give up their divine status?"

"It's not like you didn't see what happened in the sky above Wein that day."

"madman."

"I understand it as a compliment; in fact, true faith is used to correct people's biological instinct of seeking benefits and avoiding harm."

Richard snapped his fingers, and the door to the dim sum shop on Hongye Street opened again.

The meeting is over and it's time for everyone to leave.

And because of the arrival of the three people, the Allah Ming De Mountain, which was originally howling with the sinister wind, has been resting for a while. With so many dead demons sealed under the mountain, it is rare for them to become extremely docile and well-behaved during this period of time.

Karen asked Richard: "How long are you going to occupy this body?"

"He agreed readily. Why are you anxious?"

"He agreed?"

"He's eager to help you."

Karen nodded.

Richard: "It's almost time. In a few days, my spiritual will will be used up. You can go to the extremely cold place to visit me when you have time."

"I'll be there."

"Are you agreeing so quickly?"

"My father's friend was there and he had a gift for me."

"hehe."

Back at the snack shop, Richard continued to stay here to listen to songs and watch performances, while Karen and Neo walked out.

Seeing Philomena still standing at the door, Karen said: "Put everything else down first. Your recent job is to take good care of him."

"Yes, I will."

After returning to the second-hand black Pens, Alfred started the car.

Neo: "I'll go back to the head coach first. The people below are still unstable, so I can't leave for a long time."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Karen knew that Neo was not interested in the inheritance of light, and the concept of order was now vague. He chose to stay and be the container for the coming of light for his own sake.

Neo rolled his eyes at Karen and said, "Don't use it on me."

Karen and Neo walked into the teleportation formation hall together, and separated during the teleportation.

After stepping into the separate high-level transmission aperture leading to the Holy See, Alfred took out his notes and quill. According to the young master's past habit, he would first synchronize information with himself, and then continue to synchronize downwards.

Karen opened her mouth to say something, but found that the previous conversation actually had nothing to summarize.

The only purpose is probably to establish the consensus that the three parties will gather together to fight against the history of the era, but this has also been settled by default long ago.

"Alfred."

"Yes, Master."

"You can make up the content of this meeting."

After a brief moment of shock, Alfred immediately responded sincerely:

"Thanks for your trust."

…

Today's Holy See is extremely noisy and lively.

Karen was teleported to the steps of the Office Temple, but when he looked up, he didn't see Mobiteng and his escorts who had been guarding here.

Creed's inauguration ceremony is about to be held in the Sacrificial Square in the Holy See, and Mobitten should now go to defend his new high priest.

Karen climbed up the stairs and entered the temple.

Beside him, Alfred reminded in a low voice: "Master, the ceremony over there is about to begin."

"Yeah, I know, there's no rush."

When I walked into the temple, I didn't see the water coming to guide me.

Karen stopped, and Alfred immediately took out his quill and waved it lightly, and water appeared.

The quill can control most of the restrictions within the Holy See, and Norton gave it to Alfred.

In other words, this most heavily guarded place in the Cult of Kosmos was almost undefended in front of Karen.

If Cullen wanted to, he could really bring a dog in and kill Creed and take advantage of the situation.

Walking into the teahouse, the familiar sofa, coffee table, and even the books underneath were all still there.

However, the person who would sit here every time he came in was gone forever.

The "adults" of the order fought against a group of main gods at the cost of their collective demise. However, because the battle between gods took place in the diaphragm and did not really participate, the "adults" in the mythical stories even witnessed their death with their own eyes. , there is also an unreal feeling like looking at a mural.

On the contrary, it was Norton's departure that made Karen truly feel the storm of this disaster.

"We have been really well protected..."

Karen closed her eyes and sighed in her heart.

After a while, Alfred asked: "Master, do you want to go shopping on the lower floor?"

"Barcelona has fallen into a deep sleep. There is nothing left to see." Karen turned around and walked out of the teahouse and the office temple.

The sacrificial square was crowded with people.

Not only did almost all the orthodox religious leaders come, they also sent a quite large delegation to quickly negotiate the next stage of alliance cooperation.

Thinking back on the desert, the coalition forces fought fiercely with Order for so long, but they were still in disarray; looking at the enthusiasm now, it not only once again verified the saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, but also proved that as long as the interests are huge enough And it is fundamental enough that it can easily bridge the gap in belief.

Just like the Venn Empire, an old power in secular society, it would join forces with other powers to jointly suppress the development of emerging empires in order to stifle their attempts to re-divide the colonial system.

Karen's appearance attracted a lot of attention.

The sects from various religions kept taking the initiative to talk to Karen, and Karen responded with a smile.

Alfred followed beside him, watching this scene, he didn't feel any disappointment or regret in his heart.

Although he came to Weien by boat with Karen, at that time he always thought that what he was following was not some desperate young man who had fled, but the great evil god.

After the ceremonial greetings ended and before the ceremony officially began, Karen walked into the inner hall of the Sacrifice Square.

Creed, wearing the robe of a great priest, was sitting there. On a row of round seats beside him were the oracle, the prophet, the chief guard of the temple, Ukonga, several temple elders, Foden, Xisa, etc.

A big circle of seats, where everyone sits.

Karen walked to the center of the circle and saluted Creed seriously:

"Meet the high priest."

Creed crossed his arms on his chest: "Praise the great God of Order."

The ceremony is over.

Foden smiled and joked: "I only congratulate you at this point. It seems that some people are quite dissatisfied."

"Hehehe."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Foden is not digging a hole for Karen, because if the strength and status are sufficient, this behavior is actually paving the way.

The identity gap between Karen and Creed was deliberately blurred, and everyone's resistance to this matter was constantly eliminated, and the consensus that Karen was the next high priest was consolidated.

However, Karen does not have such a strong desire for the position of high priest. He only hopes that the Cult of Kosmos can play its role smoothly, and then he can have a good fight with Neo and Eternity without worrying about earth and heaven. field.

The Oracle said: "Sit down, the ceremony won't start for a while."

There is an empty chair reserved for Karen, and the seat is still above Fulden, second only to the temple elders.

Karen did not move to sit down, but stood there and said in a very humble yet firm tone:

"How can I be qualified to sit on an equal footing in front of the high priest?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately felt uncomfortable, and they all looked at each other to alleviate this invisible embarrassment.

yes,

When Norton was here,

Which of you dares to sit on an equal footing before him?

As soon as Norton left,

That's how you started.

No one expected that the first person to speak to break this layer of tentative understanding would be Karen.

Because as Norton's appointed successor, he should be happy to see Creed's high priest attribute being infinitely weakened in terms of interests.

But they couldn't have imagined that before Karen came here, he had just gone to Mount Allah and had a meeting with eternity and light.

Although the three of them were sitting on the floor without tables and chairs on Mount Allah Mud, the inner hall was like a child playing pretending to be drinking wine.

Creed's eyes showed a little touch, but he still took the initiative and said:

"We are all our own people. There is no need to talk about these etiquette here."

Karen responded: "High Priest, you can be friendly to others, but we cannot ignore the rules. Aren't these rules also set by the previous High Priest?"

After two conversations, Foden, Xisa and others could no longer sit still.

The original high priest team stood up one after another and gradually walked to Karen's side.

They didn't feel disgusted with Karen's persistence. When Karen didn't come, they enjoyed the feeling of eroding the aura of Creed's high priest. After all, the leader was gone, and everyone could take a breath and be more casual.

But at the same time, they all know that in order for their own political organizations to continue to operate, they must continue to firmly raise the banner left by Norton. Both pros and cons can be accepted.

Seeing this, Wu Kongjia also stood up and walked downstairs. His behavior prompted the temple elders to get up and follow.

However, it also attracted a gaze from the prophet.

If the temple doesn't take advantage of Norton's departure to quickly regain the power and influence it lost before, does it still want to maintain the embarrassing situation before?

But Ukunjia not only ignored the warning gaze completely, but also laughed in his heart: Do you think that if Tiranus is gone, you will survive?

The prophets, oracles, and temple chiefs all continued to sit.

Apparently they thought they deserved to be sitting there.

Ukonjia said: "Three adults, come down. How can you not understand the rules at such an old age?"

Ukonjia's words were tantamount to completely tearing one's face apart, forcing the three temple administrators to stand up and leave their seats.

Most people in the inner hall did not know why Ukunjia was so brave. He was so brave that he seemed to have lost his mind. He not only betrayed his own order of belonging, but also did not hesitate to make the contradiction public.

Foden, on the other hand, seemed to have confirmed something because of this, and subconsciously moved his position slightly back, from standing level with Karen to half a body behind Karen.

If there wasn't someone standing behind him and it wasn't easy to squeeze in, he would have stood completely in the back.

Creed, who had received actual benefits, patted the armrest of the chair with his hand to smooth things over:

"This makes me look inhumane."

…

The inauguration ceremony began and a group of Sandys flew up.

The top leaders of the Kosmos Cult walked out of the inner hall one after another in extremely strict seating order.

Those who watched the ceremony were all the smartest people in the world. Their eyes could often see deeper things, but they didn't know whether they were disappointed or happy. In short, they had a feeling that Norton seemed to be still alive.

However, not many people believe that the Cult of Kosmos can really be so harsh on themselves. Most people still believe that this is just the inertia left by Norton.

First, the Oracle made a speech. He represented the will of the God of Order and personally put the crown symbolizing the power of the high priest on Creed's head.

The priests of the Department of Order paid homage collectively:

"Meet the high priest."

"Meet the high priest."

The foreign priests watching the ceremony half-bowed to show respect.

Next, was Kreider's speech.

There was nothing special about the speech. It followed the normal flow. 10% of the content praised the great God of Order, 80% of the content summarized and praised the great achievements of the predecessor, and the remaining 10% was divided into 0.5 points to look forward to his own future. , finally, Kreider announced in public:

"Appoint Karen Silva, the Minister of Discipline of the Whip of Order, as the Acting High Priest."

Karen was a little surprised. He originally rejected this arrangement, but unexpectedly, Creed temporarily added it to him.

The reason why it is temporary is because the robe of my acting high priest has not been made in advance, which proves that the process has not been officially started.

Also, the oracles and prophets also had somewhat unexpected expressions on their faces.

Most likely, it was due to his previous performance in the inner hall and the feedback he received from Creed.

Of course, it is impossible for Karen to refuse in public, as this would appear to be a disunity within the Order Department.

Karen stepped forward, stepped onto the podium, and stood in front of Creed.

The foreign religious figures who were watching the ceremony and the priests within the Order Church were not surprised by this arrangement. After all, everyone had an established understanding that the current High Priest of Creed was just a transitional product, and the previous High Priest It is this young man who really wants to pass the ball.

Creed took off his high priest's robe, and then put it on Karen himself.

Karen did not evade, but asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Beside him, the oracle frowned, and the prophet warned: "Nonsense."

Creed didn't care at all, and even said in a voice that could be heard by the four people on the stage:

"You're right, we all have to adhere to the rules left by the leader."

Karen once led the dog into his office, and coupled with the surname "Immerais", Creed gave up all desperate risks regarding absolute power;

But this does not mean that Creed will actively cooperate. He can be a transitional product, but he will not be a well-behaved and obedient transitional product.

But no one knew how Creed felt when he was sitting in the inner hall and saw the temple and other system bosses deliberately sitting on his equal footing.

The desire for power subsided instantly, and the image of the leader became clearer. He finally realized that even if he sat in this position, he would not be the leader.

A person's transformation is actually so fast, he completely let go.

The divine robe is a bit ill-fitting and a bit too big, but it fits well when worn on my body.

Creed motioned for Karen to turn around and face forward.

Karen stopped being pretentious, turned around to face everyone, and slowly raised his head.

this moment,

There was no cowardice, no humility, no subtlety, and no trace of decency in his eyes.

Everyone in the audience felt a sense of arbitrary oppression pouring out.

Previously, Karen had told Eternity that he was far inferior to the God of Order. Eternity just responds with a smile, because you haven't reached that position yet.

Indeed, different positions and heights can carry different selves.

In terms of strength, Karen is the elder of the temple; in terms of real background, his surname is Immelais, and he is the inheritor of the God of Order; in terms of personal experience, he climbed up from the grassroots level step by step.

When he began to no longer hide his sharp edge and fully revealed his true posture and inner emotions, the originally solemn and solemn high priest's robe became like a pajamas casually draped on his body when he got up.

Creed: "Say something, my high priest."

Oracle: "This is against the rules."

Prophet: "This is transgression."

Creed ignored them, and so did Karen.

For a moment, the oracle and the prophet seemed to have regained a familiar feeling.

Karen began to speak:

"Everyone..."

The order priests stood up straight one after another, stood up on their feet, and half lowered their heads.

The adults who were watching the ceremony felt nervous and uneasy.

The former is always ready to accept the decree of the high priest;

The latter is afraid that the other party will once again say words about punishing any religious religion in the name of order.

Everything seemed to be back to the Norton era, and the young man on stage was a younger Norton.

"Everyone, we have and are still enjoying the protection from our predecessors, but this is no reason for us to stagnate and slack off. We must have the courage to shoulder the historical mission that belongs to our generation."

Karen raised his hand and pointed to the sky. The Sandys flying above them immediately gave way to the direction of their fingers:

“Yes, this is a catastrophe that is beginning;

Yes, this era, destined to be labeled by theologians as order, is ending;

Yes, we will all go to the battlefield and die there;

Yes, I can say that most of us will not have the opportunity to see ‘tomorrow’;

However, there is no need for regret, no need for decadence, and no need for hesitation;

because,

This new era,

It's made by us...with our own hands! "

Karen crossed her arms in front of her chest and said loudly and solemnly:

"Praise for order!"

In the audience, all the priests of order, including the priests watching the ceremony through the broadcast formation, all solemnly chanted:

"Praise for order!"

…

"He also feels that he does not have the structure and mind of the God of Order." Richard played with the white Jerry in his hand while watching the broadcast in the broadcast formation in front of him, "You know, the God of Order has not even Remove your own 'god' from your praise."

Philomena took out a notebook from her pocket and handed it to Richard: "You can take a look at this. He doesn't have this in his memory."

Richard asked, "What is this?"

"My class study assignment."

Richard took it and before flipping through it, Philomena reminded:

"Just look at the revised part. That's the standard answer I copied."

At this moment, a harsh sound came from outside the era.

In this world, except for a very few people, no, a very few gods, can sense this movement, the vast majority of living beings are ignorant and indifferent to it.

Richard raised his head and looked into the air.

With Karen assuming the role of acting high priest, who was better than the high priest, the barrier of order began to collapse on a large scale.

Next, the monitoring departments of each religion will detect a large number of high-frequency signs of the arrival of ordinary gods.

Large, medium and small churches, as well as the remnants of non-existing church structures, will also see their sacrificial objects issue summons and produce miracles, symbolizing the return of their own gods.

The power of the God of Order was further weakened as Karen advanced.

This made him unable to continue to maintain the big barrier, so he could only put down all peripherals and focus on the group of era overlords.

"At this time, I should be gloating, I should be laughing at you, laughing at your weakness, laughing at the fact that you are dying, laughing at you for actually doing such a stupid thing, letting someone down there, eating away at you step by step. Power, finally, when you fall, will swallow up your godhead in one fell swoop and replace everything about you.

But why can't I laugh?

Not only can’t I laugh, I…”

Richard sighed, lowered his head, and whispered:

"I actually feel jealous."
