Due to this answer, Delius remained silent for a long time.

Burne looked at the clock again, the time had come, he knocked twice on the table and said, "The time for shock is over..."

Pausing for a moment, Burne continued, "Or rather, the time for expressing shock outwardly has ended."

Delius licked his dry lips and took a deep breath, "You said that to become the High Priest, one must enter the Messenger Space and be infused with the insights and memories of previous High Priests. I will not be myself then...so, who will the High Priest be?"

"What you think is infusion is absolute loyalty to Parmelith; but in reality, the infusion is absolute loyalty to order."

"..." Delius.

Burne crossed his hands and smiled, "As I said, the infiltration of order into Parmelith's teachings happened much earlier than you expected. A long time ago, the first successful infiltrator who climbed to the top of Parmelith's teachings had already changed the inheritance ceremony of the Messenger Space.

So, although many people who were not arranged by our Order of the Gods became High Priests over the years, after they completed the infusion in the Messenger Space...heh, they became our Order's people."

"How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, because the spatial forging technology mastered by Parmelith's teachings is too important for our Order. We cannot allow Parmelith's teachings and the Messenger Space to fall into the hands of other orthodox churches.

When Order focuses on a medium-sized church, it is normal for it to resist, but it is abnormal for it to withstand.

I can also tell you one thing, the first successful infiltrator relied on the opportunity of the decline of light. At that time, Parmelith's teachings belonged to the camp of light, just like their true god Parmelith finally turned to the side of the God of Light and won the last god war.

Because of the demise of the Light God Church, Parmelith's teachings also suffered a severe blow at that time. There were at least two or three elders guarding the Messenger Space, but during that period, all the elders in the Messenger Space fell in the last struggle of light.

Now, there should only be one elder in the Messenger Space, and you should know who he is."

"That elder...has been sleeping all this time."

"Yes, do you know why he is sleeping? He is a true genius, condensed with a fragment of Parmelith's divine personality. But he received the infusion when he became the High Priest.

He should be very conflicted and in pain. Being conscious is more like torture for him, so he exiles himself by sleeping."

"So, what does Parmelith's teachings mean to Order?"

Burne looked at his son with some helplessness, shook his head and said, "I can understand that your emotions are too chaotic now, which led you to ask such a stupid question."

Saying that, Burne stood up and walked out from behind the desk, came to Delius and continued:"In the world of the Church, only the Great Church can maintain a certain degree of autonomy, but even they are constrained in many ways. As for the medium-sized and smaller churches under the Great Church, their existence is a kind of diversity, like the green grass in a forest, making the surroundings of the towering trees less monotonous.

It looks beautiful, even the grass is absorbing rain and enjoying the sunshine. But in reality, every blade of grass around each tree has its own fate. When the tree needs it, it can absorb all their nutrients in an instant.

The lush and swaying grass, which you thought was freedom and freshness, is nothing but a bit of light and shadow leaking from the branches of the tree, just enough to sprinkle on them, but you mistakenly think it is dignity."

Bern reached out and grabbed his son's chin.

"This is the second time you have made me think you are speaking foolishly. I don't want a third time, otherwise, I will talk to your grandfather about whether or not to choose you as the next Bishop of Palmyra Church."

"You could have told me everything in advance!"

"Then you would have lost the opportunity to grow and develop. Imagine being in a strange environment where you and they are different. You need to hide and cover yourself to have a chance to survive. This kind of tempering is something that others can't even beg for.

Most importantly, the conversion of one's faith, the painful choice, the despairing suffocation that makes one question their own soul on countless nights. This is also a great shaping experience.

If I told you everything in advance, then all of this would not exist. This is an opportunity that cannot be bought with any amount of money."

"You... you want me to change my faith?"

Darius suddenly realized something, because in the more than twenty years of Palmyra Church, he had been steadfast in his original self and loyal to the order for the first ten years. But as he continued to rise in position and entered the view of the Bishop, it was the kind and generous old man who brought him warmth and showed him the true scenery of Palmyra Church.

It was him who made himself fall in love with Palmyra, who made himself step out of the painful confusion, who made himself firmly become the son of the Palmyra Church, and completed the cutting off of his past self.

But he was his own grandfather... and most importantly, the father in front of him seemed to have a precise grasp of his inner world.

"Yes," Bern admitted with a nod. "For a long time, my Church has been walking on the path of light."

Bern began to pace in front of his son: ""Light likes to gather everything around it, making everything dim and leaving only the radiance of light. However, this is also the reason for the disappearance of light. In order to maintain its eternal radiance, it has paid too heavy a price and taken on too much risk. Compared to this, the benefits gained by the Light Church are not worth mentioning.

The path we want to take now is not to swallow or merge, but as long as everything operates under the rules of order, then existence is possible.

In the past two hundred years, the decline of the Parmeleth Church has been obvious, which has led to a significant decline in the success rate of high-level spatial artifact forging and even the ability to forge.

Order does not want to only obtain an empty shell or a huge library filled with books and notes. The result of this merger is that our own church still needs to spend energy to cultivate another Parmeleth Church...

This cost is really too great, and the effect may still be very poor.

Therefore,

The Order Church hopes to see a healthy development of the Parmeleth Church. We no longer stifle and restrict the development of the Parmeleth Church's high-level leaders. We only need to control one or two points to ensure that the Parmeleth Church will never deviate from order."

Bern bent down and looked carefully at his son:

"This is why we raised you like this. You will not deviate from order, but you also appreciate the scenery that Parmeleth brings you. This is good. I believe that under your leadership, the Parmeleth Church can stop its decline and restore its former glory.

And you don't have to struggle anymore, you don't have to suffer, and you don't have to choose, right?

Just as Parmeleth God once said:

Although I hold a letter in my hand, what I enjoy is the scenery on the way of delivering the letter."

"Do I have any other choices?" Delius asked back.

"No."

"Okay, I choose to accept."

"Yes, this is the feeling that my work should present. Keep it up."

"When will the shackles on me be removed?"

"Are you talking about now or in the future?

For now, I can have someone remove them for you immediately. As for the future, I'm sorry, you will wear them for the rest of your life.

After this matter is over, your grandfather, the Lord of the Church, will arrange a marriage for you.

Your child,

My grandson or granddaughter,

Will take over my position in the Order Church."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Delius looked at his father and asked:

"I want to know, what kind of feeling did you have when you faced this choice?"

"Was it when my father and I parted, or when my son and I parted?"

"Either one."

"I cried, I was angry, I felt wronged, I was numb. The emotions you can imagine and the ones you can't imagine, I have felt them all.

In the end,

I realized,

Perhaps this should be the destiny of our family. Our family will be destined to stand on one side of order and one side of Parmeleth in the future.

The Grand Bishop,

The Lord of the Church,

Are both extremely lofty positions."Looking at it from a different perspective, do you think this is suffering?

I think this is the happiest arrangement and result that every father, grandfather, and elder would like to see for their descendants.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this question, Burne opened his arms and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, of course. After all, which elder would voluntarily give up their position as a 'teaching lord' or 'bishop', sacrificing everything just to give their descendants...the warmth of family and the freedom of life?"

...

The administrative building of the Cycle God Sect is located in the Nagrag community in the southwest of York City.

It is an old building that occupies a large area but is not very tall. Compared with the original administrative building of the Order God Sect on Wutong Street, it is not at the same level. As far as the eye can see, it is a slum made up of shabby board houses.

In fact, this place did not originally belong to the jurisdiction of York City. It was originally a residence of the Chaser people. However, with the continuous expansion of the city, it was also included, and it has gradually become a gathering place for bankrupt people.

Several sessions of the York City government have not come up with a suitable plan to rebuild here, and have listed many seemingly reasonable reasons to cope with the needs of the election.

However, the former mayor once said such a sentence when talking about the Nagrag community after getting drunk: A city is like a house and always needs a toilet.

"The administrative building of the Cycle God Sect is really low-key." Karun looked at the building across the street and said.

"They like this kind of place, they like people who are numb and desperate here, because this kind of people have already felt hopeless about their current life, and are more willing to believe that they can get a better chance in the next life. It fits their doctrine and is also suitable for them to develop believers."

"This is actually a mutual need and call for each other." Karun said, "At least this can add a little hope to their lives."

Neo nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, but it will also make people's spirits more depressed and decadent."

"Captain, do you have a bad impression of the Cycle God Sect?"

"Of all the orthodox churches, it is the one I dislike the most. Maybe it's because I, as a person like this, even if I don't know why I am alive now, I will continue to live hard instead of lying down and resigning myself to fate and expecting something in the next life. I couldn't live this life clearly, so how can I be clear in the next life?"

Neo picked up a bottle of red wine from behind and took a sip from the bottle. "If I work hard to live better, maybe one day I will find a goal to live for, right?"

"Yes, Captain. I think that no matter when, living seriously and working hard will never be wrong."

"If you don't drink, there are still drinks behind. Go get them yourself."

"Captain, do we not need to return this car?"

"The mission is only paused, not over. This car still belongs to the mission, there's no problem."

"Oh, I see.""If nothing unexpected happens, we will continue the security task in a few days. However, the negotiations next time should be much faster. Maybe it will only take half a day, or even just a formality to sign the contract and end it."

"That's good. We can still get the task reward."

Neo patted the steering wheel and said, "I have always wanted to replicate one. With it, many things will be more convenient."

"That's true."

"When we went on missions before, I figured out its internal structure. Other aspects are easy, but the internal formation instruments are relatively expensive."

"After the short selling profits come out, the captain will have some credits to replicate it."

"Well, I really plan to do that."

At this time, Neo looked across the road, and a group of people wearing robes with formation runes gradually appeared. They chanted softly while walking. If you could look down from the sky, you could see their figures everywhere around the academic building.

Neo shook his head helplessly, started the car, turned and drove out.

"This academic building will be sealed with the 'Throne of Order' formation, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, we will no longer have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

This formation once appeared above a small church on Mingke Street, just to try to seal a person, but in the end, it was voluntarily removed because of that person's words.

Stopping the car, Neo looked at a tall building next to him and asked, "Have you learned the 'Black Mist Travel'?"

"I have learned it," Karun said.

"When did you learn it?"

"I have been studying and learning whenever I have time these days. It is difficult, but I have made some progress."

"Oh, then I will go up first."

Neo's figure turned into a black mist and floated towards the high building.

Karun picked up the sword box containing the sword of Achilles and his figure also turned into a black mist, floating up as well.

When Karun landed on the rooftop, he was a little unsteady and instinctively used his hand to support the ground.

Neo, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, turned his head and glanced at Karun, saying, "It seems that you have just learned it."

"Yes, it's still a bit unfamiliar."

Karun carried the sword box to Neo's side, placed it at his feet, then stood up and looked at the academic building of the Reincarnation Sect with the captain.

Neo took out half a telescope, and Karun also took out the half telescope in his pocket. The two stood side by side, peering together.

"Captain, are we only targeting this academic building?"

"Well, Wien does not belong to the traditional preaching area of the Reincarnation Sect, and their influence here is not strong. After this academic building is sealed, there will be basically no waves. The main thing is to look at the progress on the front battlefield. Three mobile knight groups are at the bottom, and Wien's third knight group has also been mobilized. Conservatively estimated, at least two other Order Knight groups in other places should also be mobilized, so at least six Order Knight groups are being transported to the battlefield through the messenger space.""Half of our war power has already been deployed, and it's a surprise attack. I think it won't be a problem to capture the three holy sites of the Reincarnation Sect in a short time."

"The Immortal Sect?"

"I don't think so. The longer the war lasts, the more time other sects will have to react. I'm afraid that other sects will start secretly supporting the Reincarnation Sect, which will be a loss for our sect."

The purpose of the surprise attack is to achieve the greatest victory in the shortest time and with the smallest cost.

After destroying the Reincarnation Sect, forcing them to seek peace and then taking back the remaining benefits from the negotiating table, the maximum benefit will be obtained."

"I understand. You want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, make them learn to fear, but not make them feel sad and uneasy, afraid that they will unite."

"Well, although it sounds a bit awkward, it describes it accurately. Okay, it's time to start. There is something I need you to do with me."

"Captain, what is it?"

"Come, let's pray for the sealing process in front of us. Everything will go smoothly, and there will be no accidents. The great God of Order blesses us. Praise Order!"

"Praise Order!" Karun replied.

A huge black throne appeared in the air, followed by an immense and majestic aura.

It began to descend, and during the descent, a red light curtain appeared around the Reincarnation Sect's administrative building. This was the defensive formation of the administrative building, but it was instantly crushed by the throne.

Finally, the administrative building was completely enveloped under the chair, and the four legs of the throne touched the ground.

"Boom!"

...

"Boom!"

A huge blue gate fell on the southern end of Maima Island, and the surrounding seawater began to recede, revealing the sand and stones below.

"Crack... crack... crack..."

A legion dressed in black armor with a solemn aura marched out of the blue gate with orderly steps.

"Roar!!!"

A black panther with wings flew out from above the blue gate, and a young man sat on the panther. He was the youngest knight commander in the history of the Order of the Gods.

The commander of the Seventh Knight Order - Ballo!

A woman's figure appeared beside him. It was Elder Siti, but strangely, the prestigious and arrogant Elder Siti chose to stand beside him at the same level.

"Commander Ballo, ahead is Maima Island, where it is said that it is one of the core holy sites of the Reincarnation Sect and where the God of Reincarnation was born."

"I see. I know."

The young legion commander urged the black panther under him to fly towards the front of the legion. He drew his long sword, raised it high, and shouted:

"We are the awakened ones from the abyss; we are the defenders of the highest order.

We are the strongest shield in front of the God of Order; we are the most determined spear under the will of God!"Reincarnation has challenged order, and now, it's our turn to give them a response from order!

The island in front of you is the birthplace of the God of Reincarnation.

Now,

I command you,

To stuff him,

Back in!"
