Seeing such a scene, Irani gently raised her right hand, and a strong wind roared in the hall of the temple.
In this strong wind, Catherine could no longer stand firm and could only let the strong wind push her, sliding bit by bit in the direction of Irani. Only by grabbing Alan's arm could she barely maintain her balance.
.
But except for Catherine, everyone else stood calmly in the hall, not affected by the strong wind at all, as if the violent wind existed in another world.
"Teacher, I don't want to disappear..." Catherine was heard whispering in a trembling voice.
Hearing Catherine's words, Allen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wisps of black mist emerged from his fingertips, like a black gauze, weaving into a net in the air, covering Catherine inside and blocking the strong wind from outside.
He knew that as the master of the dream world, Elani had not actually used her full strength. Otherwise, with his current ability, he would not be able to withstand the opponent's offensive.
And he also knows that if the other party is allowed to take Catherine away, then Ilani's strength will become even stronger. By then, he will never have a chance to escape from the dream world.
"This is a grudge between the two of us, why involve her?" he said in a joking tone.
Hearing his words, Elani stopped working on the spell and her face gradually became serious.
"Ilya, it seems that you have really forgotten most of the past," she said in an indifferent tone, "'If you want to gain the authority of God, you must first abandon the emotions of the world.' That was what you once said personally
What I said."
This sentence was like a thunder, suddenly exploding in Allen's mind.
Unconsciously, he suddenly remembered something again.
…………
at the same time.
Papal Circle, Cathedral of Light.
Pope Paul II was still sitting quietly in the prayer room, thinking about the illusive words he just heard in his mind.
"He's awake."
As the leader of the believers of the Goddess of Light, although his words had no beginning or end and were extremely vague, he was still very sure that this was an oracle from the Goddess of Light.
After all, he is the only person within the Church of Light who can use divine magic. With some kind of connection between him and the goddess, he can always accurately sense the will of the goddess.
However, this time the words "He woke up" that the Pope heard made him feel very confused.
Who does the “he” here refer to? Is he worthy of the goddess of light’s special attention?
The Pope's first reaction was naturally the God of Darkness.
But the problem is, when the total lunar eclipse occurred a few months ago, didn't the God of Darkness already wake up? Why is he awake again now?
Is it possible that after the God of Darkness wakes up, he has to go back to sleep again?
In other words, another existence equal to the God of Darkness has awakened this time?
The Pope is unknown.
Because the Oracle of the Goddess of Light was vague, the only thing he could do now was to put the entire church on alert and remain alert to all possible changes.
Things in Braden Kingdom are enough to make him anxious now.
If Prince Edward Lynn of the Ferrand Kingdom hadn't volunteered to turn the tide for the Church of Light, I'm afraid the Pope would have been even more troubled by this.
With a worried heart, Pope John Paul II left the prayer room.
He bypassed the tall statue of the Goddess of Light, opened an inconspicuous small door next to the fireplace, and went down the narrow stairs to a low secret room located under the church.
He first carefully closed the door of the secret room, then slowly squatted down under the light of the torch and placed the palm of his right hand on a floor tile.
In the blink of an eye, this floor tile burst out with intense light, illuminating the entire secret room.
Then, with a violent vibration, several stone bricks on the wall slowly moved around, revealing a narrow space that could barely fit a person into it.
An old book lay quietly inside.
Pope Paul II knew that it was the most original "Canon of Light" left by the Goddess of Light, which preserved the most authentic record of the birth of the Church of Light.
There is even a story about how the goddess of light ascended to the status of a god from a mere mortal.
The "Bible of Light" currently circulating outside is a deleted version.
After all, in the eyes of the world, compared to a mortal who ascends the throne of God, a god who is born omniscient and omnipotent and creates all things in the world is obviously more worthy of belief and more worthy of awe.
In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, there was a fierce dispute within the Church of Light over the nature of the Goddess of Light. It was divided into two factions and debated day and night.
One group insists that the goddess of light combines divinity and humanity, possesses human emotions, and achieves the status of a mortal god, but she is by no means the creator and does not have the only divinity;
The other school believes that the goddess of light was born as a god, created all things in darkness, is omniscient and omnipotent, and possesses absolute divinity.
Perhaps it is because the Church of Light feels that a superior goddess can help consolidate its authority, or perhaps because kings in secular countries need a reason for "divine right of kings" to maintain the legitimacy of their rule. The two parties hit it off and praised the Goddess of Light more and more.
high.
From "one of the gods" to "the goddess of light", to "the omniscient and omnipotent mother of all things", to "the only true god in the world".
Based on this, the Church of Light called other gods "evil gods" and "false gods", wiped out pagans, and continued to expand its power.
At the same time, the part about the humanity of the goddess of light recorded in the "Light Canon" was gradually deleted bit by bit with the development of the Church of Light.
Until now, the story closest to the historical truth can only be found in the original "Light Canon" collected by the Pope.
Pope Paul II took out this old "Canon of Light" and opened it to the middle pages.
I saw it said:
“Then Elijah, the guide, was in the wilderness, preaching truth and righteousness for the forgiveness of sins.
“One day Elijah was standing there with his disciples.
"When he saw Eve walking, he said that it was light and the person who brought hope.
"Eve came to the wilderness and met Elijah. She wanted to listen to his teachings, be guided by him, and become his student.
"Ilya wanted to stop her.
"Eve replied, "Please allow me, because I need to follow you on the path of truth.
"So Elijah promised her, and suddenly light came down from heaven and fell on her.
"A voice said that she was the daughter of light and was divine.
"..."
This original version of the "Bible of Light" claims that the goddess of light's real name is "Eve" and that she has a teacher named "Ilya" who leads her on the path of pursuing the truth.
But in the later revised "Light Canon", both the name "Eve" and the character "Ilya" were completely deleted, as if they had never existed.
