There are many factions within the Realm of Bright Light, but the general ideology is unified, except for the Purity Faction.
The Purists are known for being extremely radical. They have offended many powerful people in the past, so they were driven out of the Western Continent and went to the barren lands of Eastern India to develop.
But that is all in the past. Today, the Purity Sect has its own Northern Holy See in the East Indian Continent, and it also has its own Pope.
In terms of status, the Purity Pope is the counterpart to the Pope of the Realm of Bright Light, and Isabel, the female bishop, is one level lower.
For some unknown reason, the Purist Pope did not visit the Hand of God in person, but sent Isabel to come, obviously not giving the Hand of God the respect it deserved.
After all, they are an excluded church, unlike the Life Association and Blood Rose.
However, the current Pope of the Bright Light Realm, with his tolerant and kind character, actually accepted Isabel in front of everyone.
This can almost confirm that the Hand of God will have the seat of the Purists from now on.
Smart people have guessed that perhaps privately, the Bright Light Realm Church in the Eastern and Western Continents has reached a reconciliation.
"There are still people left..." The Pope no longer struggled with the Purists and spoke in a low voice. The waiter next to him hurriedly brought him a pot of water.
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, holding a book under his arm and with half of his hair turning white, walked in.
He walked quickly, and the young man behind him followed him quickly, helping him pick up the pages that fell on the ground from time to time.
"Dr. Jacobs! Wait a minute! Dr. Jacobs..."
The middle-aged man had a sullen face. When he entered the door, he found that many people had already arrived. He was stunned for a moment, and then awkwardly found his seat and sat down, right next to the female warrior Diana.
Diana glanced at him teasingly but said nothing.
After the man sat down, he babbled and said, "You know what? I don't think this is suitable for me. After all, I am a scholar."
"Is this the reason why you are late? So why don't you just resign as Hermes' tutor?" Diana joked, "Hermes' group of people are usually mysterious, and they are not the same as those hundreds of years ago.
The pagans are the same, but you are different, Jacob, you are a serious man."
The man smashed the book he was holding on the table and shook his head helplessly: "There is no way, who made us a small organization? No matter in terms of number of people or influence, it is far inferior to the Blood Rose, the Holy Church, and the Life Association.
, let alone the realm of dazzling light.”
Among the five major churches, ranked in terms of size, Bright Light Realm definitely has the most believers and has the largest scope of influence. The other four churches combined cannot compare.
However, compared to Hermes, Blood Rose, Holy Church and Life Association all have local culture and national soil that support their churches.
Only Hermes did not. Their followers were scattered all over the world, and not a few people who believed in the "triple greatness" could be found in a single city.
But because they have the "Three Initiates" - Ptolemy. This immortal man once appeared as a saint and was a strong supporter of Hermes, so they can be ranked as the Hand of God with the other four major churches.
"Besides me, they can't elect any other representative."
After sorting out his books, Dr. Jacob Lonut glanced at the busy "entourage".
The "entourage" is not dressed like an ordinary entourage, but rather like a student of Jacob.
Jacob introduced it as expected: "This is a graduate student from our college who is studying under me. Because he has been too busy recently, he helped me sort out the information and brought it to the meeting for our reference and discussion."
No one else prepared materials, so Jacob and his students brought a bunch of books, which made Furion of the Life Association and Diana of the Blood Rose unhappy.
But they didn't have a chance to complain, because another important person appeared on the scene.
He was pushed in in a wheelchair, but it was indeed a doctor in a white coat who pushed him in.
The man in the wheelchair tilted his neck. He was an old man who was much younger than the Pope, but his condition was worse than that of the Pope because his wheelchair still had a hanging bottle and an infusion tube hanging on it.
Where the doctor pushed him into the seat, the man in the wheelchair was leaning on the cushions, still sleeping with his eyes closed and did not wake up.
"Mr. Director has just taken medicine and is asleep now..." The doctor explained the situation to everyone as soon as he arrived.
Diana, the representative of Blood Rose, said oh, but Isabel spoke first.
"The director of the Velen Prosecution Bureau, Byrne Sotos, I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to still be sitting in that position."
The doctor looked at Isabel expressionlessly: "Mr. Byrne's health has been slowly deteriorating, but he always uses medicine and sleep to alleviate his problems. I believe he can stay in this world for at least two years.
"
"Okay!" Fario, the vice president of the Life Association, finally became impatient, "Who else do we need to wait for?"
"Trini Mark..." The great Zen master of the temple opened his eyes slightly.
"He... will come, let's start first." The Pope muttered.
"Then we won't wait for them." Jacob opened the book in front of him and looked at everyone, "I haven't activated the Hand of God for many years. What is it for this time? Don't tell me yet, I guess...
…Maybe it’s about the Blackwater Cataclysm?”
"No..." Furion turned to look at him, "It's the wriggling protoplasm."
Not everyone witnessed the large-scale mutation caused by the soaring drink. Jacob was immersed in the library at that time. He was alone and saw nothing.
"I do not understand?"
At this time, Fario took a folded copybook from the waiter next to him and threw it in front of Jacob. After the latter scanned it, he understood everything.
"Many of us died." Diana sneered and said, "Two of the flower towers along the coast fell..."
"This is the result of indulgence. You should reflect on your filthy teachings!" Isabel said to Diana, but the latter dismissed it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Are you sure it has something to do with drinking?" Jacob asked doubtfully.
"That's what the letter from the Renekton Police Bureau sent through the Blossom Tower..." the doctor behind Director Byrne replied. His identity seemed to be more than just a personal doctor.
"I don't understand, if drinking can turn a person into a wriggling protoplasm, then why has this happened only on that day throughout the ages?" Jacob pinched his chin and expressed doubts about the incident.
Subsequently, people at the meeting discussed this issue for a long time until the taciturn Zen Master Shengtang spoke and interrupted everyone.
"It's the bone of the earth..."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"What is the Bone of the Earth?" the female warrior Diana asked curiously.
The Grand Zen Master of the Holy Temple looked at the Pope at the top. The latter's throat was gurgling, as if he had to use all his strength every time he spoke.
The great Zen master did not force the Pope, and said for him: "It comes from one of the most mysterious species. Legend has it that their bodies after death turned into all matter, and our current world came into existence... They are very mysterious,
There are no documents recording their existence, and only the occasional remains make us realize that there is a creature that transcends all history and time."
"For most people, the mythical age is just a legend. Human beings have studied mysticism for so many years, but there are few detailed records about the demi-gods, let alone older species."
Jacob began to develop his professional abilities.
"However, few people know that before the mythical age of the First Era, there was a longer period. I don't know what to call it. Let's call it the 'primitive' period... I am translating ancient Astrian and hieroglyphics.
While writing the text, I discovered some secrets between the lines. Perhaps the so-called demi-gods are just the creations of higher-level species..."
