"Phew …"
Vincent walked out of the confessional and looked at the long, dark corridor through the Eye of the Moon. He let out a long sigh of relief.
Judging from Vanessa's behavior, he shouldn't have revealed any flaws just now …
This newly appointed seventh apostle wasn't as gentle and amiable as she looked. The feeling she gave off came mostly from the authority of the Silent Territory. The rest was a disguise she purposely showed to her believers and subordinates.
Vincent wasn't making baseless guesses. Even in the Dome Church, there was no lack of gossip, so Vincent had long heard about the temper of this apostle candidate.
Every apostle would train their successor in advance. Vanessa was already the servant and assistant of the previous Dark Moon Apostle in charge of the seventh parish. After the previous Dark Moon Apostle was martyred, she was naturally promoted. Therefore, the priests in this parish weren't unfamiliar with her.
Vanessa's personality was actually very bad and harsh. It was said that she would seek revenge for the smallest grievance and act swiftly. Her tolerance was basically zero.
If Vanessa had discovered the suspicion and rebellion in his heart, she would have immediately called for someone to lock down the confessional and then call for the evangelist to silence him. This was to prevent the news of "Sheng Yue having a problem with his brain" from spreading, which concerned the reputation of the entire church.
But now, Vanessa didn't do that. Instead, she comforted him and asked him to use Sheng Yue's brain more. This meant that she didn't discover Vincent's intentions of probing and was deceived. She thought that he had reported because he was terrified.
But at the same time, this reaction basically meant that there really was a problem with Sheng Yue's brain … There were many people like him, and Vanessa was very familiar with this.
When she answered just now, the Silent Territory had already been activated. She was trying to use her authority to make Vincent "listen"! The first website was m.9biquge. com
But she didn't expect that when her authority was discovered to be in contact with Vincent, the priest would be in a daze for a moment. He immediately felt the Holy Sun Bible in his arms absorb the aether waves from Vanessa, waking him up.
Vincent's thoughts sank.
It seemed that the owner of the bookstore was right. Perhaps they had been deceived for too long … However, Vincent had not yet escaped from his past. He still could not accept the collapse of the church that he had believed in since he was young.
He hesitated. Did he have the ability to tell everyone the truth? Did he have the ability to bear the consequences?
Vincent's mind was in a mess. He did not know what to do next. He chose to stay in the residences of the clergy on both sides of the church. He decided to make do for the night and come up with a plan the next day.
That night, he tossed and turned, and finally fell asleep in exhaustion.
In his sleep, Vincent's vision was hazy, as if he had stepped into a strange and beautiful dreamland.
Beneath his feet was a calm lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. The velvet-like curtain of night was reflected in the water, and the river of stars was incomparably resplendent. The girl in the black dress standing in front of him had no face, and the sun and moon were floating in her hands.
For some reason, he felt that this young girl was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before …
But soon, Vincent's attention was drawn to the miniature sun and moon.
The sun was like a scorching and dazzling fireball. Countless high-energy explosions occurred and were annihilated within it. The surging vitality and power were almost suffocating.
The moon was quiet and peaceful, exuding a faint and gentle glow that comforted one's heart.
Most importantly, they all seemed to have their own vitality, giving one the feeling that they were constantly growing.
This was completely different from the pale and silent Divine Power of the Moon that Vincent had felt in the past!
It would have been fine if there was no comparison, but once there was a comparison, the Divine Power of the Moon that he had felt in the past even gave off a cold and damp feeling, as if it was covered in moss and mold. It was nauseating.
"Chosen One, you're finally here."
The young girl said indifferently.
Vincent was a little confused. This scene was already very magical, and the words' Chosen One 'were like a heavy hammer that smashed into his heart.
The only thing that could be considered as being chosen was that the owner of the bookstore had sold him the Holy Scripture of the Sun …
And he did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the young girl was a little stiff when she spoke, as if she had just learned the lines and was not very familiar with them.
But at this time, Vincent did not have the time to care about these details. He asked with some fear, "Who are you? Where is this? What do you want? "
The young girl said, "You don't need to know my name for now. This is my dream, my territory. I pulled you in because we have a common enemy … Use your heart to feel, and you will know the answer."
Common enemy, then it could only be … the moon!
There were two moons, and the Dome Church believed in one. The one in front of him was real, and the other was fake.
Could it be that the young girl in front of him was the real Moon Goddess?!
Vincent's instincts and thoughts told him so. His eyes were completely attracted by the sun in the young girl's hand, and a strong desire sounded in his heart.
He wanted … wanted to have it … Give it to me!
Thinking this, Vincent had already reached out his hand, and his fingertips instantly touched the scorching heat of the sun. Then, slowly and irresistibly, he clenched the sun in his palm.
The young girl's gaze seemed to be indifferent, and she reminded him, "Remember, there is no turning back."
He understood that this was an extremely dangerous thing to do, but … he could not control himself! His body seemed to be pulled by some force, and the entire sun was brought over!
Boom …
The scorching heat spread from his fingertips to his entire body, and the explosive high temperature swept over. The dazzling white light quickly expanded in his field of vision, surging and swallowing everything.
Vincent felt as if he had become the sun, emitting endless light and heat.

Hymin secretly followed Vincent, arriving at the room where the clergymen were resting.
For safety's sake, he first hid for a period of time, and when he confirmed that Vincent had fallen asleep, he showed himself, and took out the poisonous dagger from his sleeve.
He concealed himself, and quietly approached the priest who was sleeping soundly. Then, he raised the dagger in a practiced manner, and a vicious cold light flashed through his eyes.
This was all for the great apostle, for the church, for the great moon!
Every time, Hymin would always say this to himself before he made a move.
But this time, just as he was about to stab down with the dagger, the Holy Sun Scripture in Vincent's bosom suddenly erupted with light!
Hymin suddenly froze, unable to react at all. The moon divine power in his body was instantly ignited, transforming into an unimaginably high temperature, burning his flesh and clothes.
Boom!
"Ahhhhhh —!!!"
The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and then he screamed in pain. He was like a torch, burning fiercely, and within the twisted flames, his two eyes turned into holes, making him look like a visitor from hell.

Vincent woke up with a start and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a completely carbonized corpse in the flames, followed by a sea of bright red flames around him.
"Huala …"
The room collapsed, and Vincent jumped up in bewilderment. He recognized that the clothes on the corpse in front of him belonged to the Dark Moon Apostle attendant who had received him at the door.
"Enemy attack!!! Enemy attack!!! "
Loud shouts came from outside, and a wave of chaotic footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer.
