Link has some understanding of the Tianling Sect. Leaving aside Lingmeng and the three elders who can't tell the difference, these eight sacred weapon guardians who are all at level 2 or above can crush most of them.
Small and medium-sized churches, plus Lingmeng, the three elders and other experts in the church, only those large churches in the Red Moon Province can pose a threat to the Tianling Sect.
Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but feel a little glad that the Tianling Sect did not become an enemy of the Father God Sect because of that bullshit prophecy. Otherwise, this group of churches, which are almost all women, would pose a greater threat to them than the Mad Temple and the God of War Cult.
At the same time, Link was also secretly happy, because such a church with a strong foundation actually wanted to join the Father's Church, which was definitely a good thing for the Father's Church.
"If we can make good use of this advantage, the Cult of the Father will develop faster, and the Temple of Madness and the Cult of War will no longer pose a threat to the Cult of the Father." With illusions about the future, Link walked in
In the basement, I saw a square altar in the center of the basement, and a blue crystal ball suspended on the altar.
Lingfeng said with a pious look: "Archbishop Neil, this is the founding artifact of our religion, the Eye of the Prophet. We have guarded it for five hundred years. Now, it is time to return it to its original owner."
Link was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You mean that thing is mine?"
Lingfeng shook his head: "No, all holy weapons come from the lofty True God, and you are the messenger of the True God, so you are qualified to get the holy weapons back for the True God." As she said that, she and the other two
The elder got out of the way, "Okay, Archbishop Neil, please step forward and get the sacred artifact back for the true God!"
Link narrowed his eyes when he heard this. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "I am not the messenger of the true God, but the spokesperson of Father God Link, the Great Elder Lingfeng. I hope you will not get it wrong."
Lingfeng said noncommittally: "No matter what it is, as long as you are the person in the prophecy, then you can pick up the sacred weapon. Archbishop Neil, please come over."
Faced with Lingfeng's repeated urging, Link couldn't help but feel wary. This attitude of being impatient for him to take away the sacred artifact was too strange. Could it be a fraud? The sacred artifact was actually a cover, with a trap on it? Or was it that?
...This is their test to see if he is the person in the prophecy. Otherwise, why would they deliberately name the person who must be the person in the prophecy to pick up the sacred vessel?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to be, but his heart was beating. He didn't know whether he was the person in the prophecy. In fact, he didn't believe in the so-called prophecy at all. In his opinion, he didn't believe in the prophecy at all.
, prophecy is as futile as fortune telling.
What if he is not the person in the prophecy and triggers the mechanism inside after touching the sacred artifact?
Thinking of this, Link wanted to ask if there was a trap up there, but even if there was a trap, the other party would definitely not tell him, which put him at a loss.
At this time, Lingmeng next to him seemed to have noticed Link's thoughts, and he said calmly: "Don't be dazed, I will go up with you, grab the sacred artifact and leave quickly, I don't want to stay here."
Without waiting for Link to answer, Ling Meng walked forward after finishing speaking, causing Link to be stunned for a moment and then quickly follow him - he is not afraid of the high priest of the Tianling Sect, so what else is he afraid of? Act like a man.
!
Seeing Lingmeng and Link go up together, the third elder Lingmu opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Lingfeng, and said with deep meaning: "Let Lingmeng go, don't forget, the last sentence of the prophecy——
Accompanied by the high priest of Tianling, the messenger of the true God will take back what belongs to the true God! Now Lingmeng has just made the choice as predicted. We only need to witness whether the prophecy can be realized. If everything goes as predicted
, then it is okay to give the holy weapon to Neil-Ye as the ancestors said. On the contrary, we can get out of the shackles of prophecy and choose the future with our will."
After hearing this, Lingmu and the second elder Lingshui looked at each other, and finally sighed and said nothing.
Soon, Reimu and Link came to the altar. They looked at the orb suspended in mid-air, exuding bursts of blue energy. Link looked at Reimu after hesitating for a while, and finally gritted his teeth under Reimu's gaze.
He stretched out his hand to the orb and secretly summoned up ten successes to prevent accidents from happening.
However, the expected situation of triggering the mechanism did not appear, and the situation of nothing happening after picking up the orb did not appear. What Link faced was the voice of the system.
[Ding, the breath of the object transformed by divine power has been detected, which contains extremely pure divine power. Can the host absorb the divine power? After absorbing it, the true god system can be upgraded]
"Upgrade the True God System?" Link's eyes lit up. The current functions of the True God System have already made him want to stop. What kind of additional functions will it have if it is upgraded again? Thinking in his heart, Link couldn't help but blurted out, and suddenly
, the power of the Prophet's Eye flows into Link's body at an extremely fast speed and is absorbed by the True God System.
[Ding, after the absorption is completed, the True God System begins to upgrade. The upgrade is expected to take one hundred and twenty hours. During the upgrade period, all functions of the True God System will be unavailable]
"All functions are unavailable? One hundred and twenty hours? Isn't that five days? Damn it, tomorrow is All Saints' Day, and the day after tomorrow is the monthly lottery day. What does it mean that it cannot be used? Do you need these two opportunities?
Flying?"
Link was shocked and anxious, but now that there was someone next to him, he could only call out to the system in his heart, but the system seemed to have begun to upgrade and was not bothering him at all. No matter how anxious he was, he could only suppress the urge to ask about the system.
At the same time, Lingmeng and the three elders were surprised when they saw that the Eye of the Prophet lost all its power after being taken by Link. Lingmeng immediately took the Eye of the Prophet from Link's hand and looked at it, then he couldn't help but frowned and said
: "This thing has turned into an ordinary crystal ball."
As soon as these words came out, the three elders were even more shocked. They immediately stepped forward to take the crystal ball and looked at it. They found that it was exactly what Lingmeng said, so they all looked at Link. Link was a little embarrassed when he saw this, but he was shameless enough.
He quickly suppressed his embarrassment and said with a stern expression: "Father God, I'm sorry, everyone, I just heard the oracle from Father God, and he has regained the power of the Prophet's Eye through me.
, I’m sorry, you three, as Reimu said, it has now become an ordinary glass ball.”
Lingmeng and the three elders were very surprised after hearing this. After a long while, the three elders looked at each other, Lingfeng sighed and said: "Everything is just as the ancestors predicted. The messenger of the true god got back the things of the true god, and it is still
In a way that none of us expected." As she spoke, she looked at the crystal ball, then cheered up and smiled, "Archbishop Neil, congratulations, you succeeded. From now on, all the Tianling Sect will
I am at your service. No matter what your instructions are, we will do our best to complete them." This time, she changed the title of Link to an honorific, which shows that she truly recognizes Link's identity.
After hearing this, Link was ecstatic, but he did not forget his duty, so he still said modestly: "In any case, the Tianling Sect is the Tianling Sect, and the Father God Sect is the Father God Sect. We only need to cooperate closely.
No need to take orders from me."
After hearing this, Lingfeng shook his head and said that this was the order of the ancestors and they must follow it. Then Link was reserved for a while, and the two sides just gave in to each other. In the end, Lingmeng got impatient and started to complain before stopping.
However, Link's attitude won the favor of the three elders. Regardless of whether it was hypocritical or not, this character of not being arrogant after receiving benefits can always make people feel more comfortable. After all, although he did not say it, the three elders'
There was a sense of loss in their eyes, and they were obviously not interested in this kind of dependence on others. If it weren't for the fact that they respected the teachings of their ancestors as oracles, they probably wouldn't even have given Link the chance to touch the sacred artifact.
Now that the Prophet's Eye has been scrapped, there is no point in leaving it in the basement. After Lingfeng put away the scrapped Prophet's Eye, everyone left the place together, accompanied by the eight female warriors who protected the holy artifact.
Regarding what happened in the basement, Link and the three elders had a tacit agreement not to talk nonsense, but Reimu didn't bother to talk about it at all, so the matter did not spread.
After all, it is a major matter related to the future rise and fall of a church. Even if the top management agrees, it is not certain that the subordinates will accept it calmly. The three elders also need some time to appease the congregation.
On this day, Link and others stayed at the Tianling Cult. Seeing that it was still early, Link simply went to the City Lord's Mansion to visit Count Lothar.
After Link left, the three elders came to the Tianling Sect's cathedral and looked at the symbol representing the Tianling Sect for a long time. Finally, Lingmu broke the silence sadly and said: "The last link in the prophecy has been realized.
Without the suppression of the Prophet's Eye, if there is just a few more days, the dark demon will break out and plunge the Land of the Red Moon into darkness."
Lingshui sighed and nodded: "Each generation of Heavenly Spirit High Priests used their lives and souls to strengthen the seal, but without the prophet's eye, the source of the seal, their sacrifices would become meaningless. I really don't know.
It is right or wrong to give the prophet's eyes to Neil-Ye according to the instructions of the ancestors."
Lingfeng shook his head and said: "Time, fate, everything is destined. The prophet's eye has lost its effectiveness. No matter how much we think about it, it is useless. It's time to complete the final mission of the three of us."
Lingmu and Lingshui nodded after hearing this, and turned their attention to the scrapped Eye of the Prophet. A faint black aura appeared in the center of the sphere that had turned into an ordinary crystal ball, spinning like a whirlpool.
, the shape is very strange.
Soon, the priest Sunny walked into the church and saw the three elders. Sunny immediately said hello to the three people, and Lingfeng said: "Sunny, everything in the prophecy has been fulfilled. After this All Saints' Day celebration, we
We will go to Lingshan with the eyes of the prophet, and use the magic circle left by our ancestors and our lives to suppress the dark demons. After we leave, you and Lingmeng will lead the followers to join the Father God Sect. The Tianling Sect has already
Having completed its mission, it is time to disappear into the long river of history."
Sunny immediately responded respectfully, and the three elders didn't waste any words, and immediately asked Sunny to go down and prepare. They were very relieved about this core member of the church who had been with them for many years.
However, the three of them did not realize that when Sunny turned her back to them, a dark light flashed in her eyes, which was deep and twisted, like a monster originating from the endless abyss.
