Hao Ren led a group of friends out of the teleportation screen. The first thing he saw was a group of big shots gathered in the conference room with worried faces. There were generals, ministers, bishops, and finally, Uruk the werewolf representative. Basically, all the big shots that Hao Ren had met before were here. Lily was surprised to see so many people gathered around the broken conference table. The atmosphere was like a memorial service. "This table must be expensive, right?"
The husky's thoughts were so strange that the people around Hao Ren basically ignored her.
"You guys are back?" Ophra did not expect that just when she was about to ask Becky about the situation, the foreigners would jump out of their own accord. "That black …"
"The spaceship, that thing is the spaceship I told you about." Hao Ren waved his hand. "It's done. We destroyed the spaceship, don't worry about it coming back for revenge. The pilot of the spaceship has also been captured and is now locked up in a very secure prison. Don't worry, even the real evil god won't be able to escape."
A few ministers who knew the 'outlanders' very well let out a long sigh of relief when they heard that. They felt like they had just survived a disaster. After the black spaceship left, everyone's hearts were in their throats. The main focus of the meeting was whether the evil god would return. So they were not sure how to promote, appease, or deal with it. Now that they knew the evil god's crisis was over, they could finally relax.
But Ophra could tell from the faces of Hao Ren and Vivian that things were not that simple. She frowned and asked, "There's more trouble?"
"Trouble from many years ago." Hao Ren looked around and found Cardinal Orben and a few high-ranking bishops he knew were there. The chief seat in the conference room was empty. He realized that it should be the pope's seat. "Everyone here has a high security clearance, right?"
Ophra suddenly became alert. "You … found something again?"
The first time Hao Ren was active in front of her, he brought news of the First Born and revealed the secret of the founding of the Disciples of Glory. Ophra could still remember it clearly. Her intuition told her that these foreigners might have brought information related to God: after all, they had just come into contact with the "evil god".
"We've made contact with the owner of the black spaceship and found out a few things." Hao Ren looked at Cardinal Orben. "These things are related to the faith of the goddess … Don't be nervous, it's not blasphemy, but it's more exciting than that. So, I have to ensure that everyone here is trustworthy, at least they won't leak the secret. After I'm done, you can hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with this information. It's up to you whether you believe me or not. "
Archbishop Orben nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then waved his hand to dismiss all the guards and scribes.
Ophra saw that Hao Ren's face was very serious, and knew that this was not a joke. Furthermore, this was not the first time that he had helped this world solve a crisis with unimaginable power. She had a strong sense of trust in this foreigner. She looked at the rest of the people in the hall and nodded gently. "These are the core personnel of the kingdom, including generals, ministers, bishops, and the king's representative. They are all very reliable and loyal. But … "
Her eyes fell on Uruk, who was very self-aware. "Oh, I know, I'm an outsider. I'll take my leave first …"
"I can tell you." Hao Ren waved his hand. "This matter is not limited to the Hollettans, every race on this planet is involved."
At this time, Cardinal Orben, whose face was covered in runes, finally sensed danger from Hao Ren's attitude. He stood up and said, "I want to confirm, what you're about to announce, will it shake the foundation of the Disciples of Glory? If the influence of religion is too strong, I hope that before you announce it to others, you can first let the bishops know. "
The archbishop had his considerations. Although the Kingdom of Holletta had a wonderful co-existence between church and church, where the church and the royal nobles jointly governed the entire society, but on some sensitive issues, they still had their own areas of expertise.
Ophra looked at the archbishop beside her with dissatisfaction, but she did not say much. The marshal did not like politics and religion, but after all, she had been in the service for a few hundred years, and just based on her experience, she was clear enough in this area. But Hao Ren waved his hand. "No need, this matter is not only related to religion."
He did not want the church to unilaterally get this information and then hide it or distort it.
"Well, everyone swear," Ophra did not give the other bishops a chance to continue speaking. She suddenly got up and unsheathed her sword. "In the name of the king, in the name of the goddess, in the name of the family, unless more than two-thirds of the people present vote, no one is allowed to spread what you have heard today — except to report to the king."
This was the famous "Hodeceus Secret Meeting" in later history. Its uniqueness was still talked about many years later. The participants of the secret meeting were strange and bizarre. Not only were there people from the church, church and military, but there was also a foreign werewolf leader and several foreigners from another world. The contents of the secret meeting were particularly mysterious. It took the royal family of Holletta and the Disciples of Glory almost a hundred years to gradually announce the truth to the world, and the truth almost changed the culture and history of the entire planet. Later generations of busybodies used imagination and bards' exaggerated descriptions to reconstruct various versions of the secret meeting scene, including the solemn round table meeting and the spooky secret meeting in the basement. But in fact, at this moment, Hao Ren and a group of princes, dukes and ministers were gathered around a pile of wood, explaining things clearly.
"The first thing to be corrected," Hao Ren looked at Cardinal Orben very seriously. "The owner of the black spaceship is not an 'evil god', he is a guardian — the guardian of the goddess."
While the bishops were in an uproar, Prince Hoffman pressed his chest hard. "… I really shouldn't have come today …"
Vivian gestured to the bishops to calm down. "Don't get too worked up — because if I'm not wrong, the goddess was killed by your ancestors. Yes, indirectly caused his death. Now you can get worked up. "
Hao Ren suspected that Vivian did it on purpose: this girl had a side!
The truth of ten thousand years ago was complicated, and there were many things that needed to be explained for the locals to understand. So, Hao Ren and the rest took a long time to explain. The whole story could be summed up in the following paragraph:
The goddess of creation created the world, and the years in between were skipped. Ten thousand years ago, a group of mortals with brain damage popped out. Because of their rapid development, they felt that they were invincible and wanted to try the feeling of becoming a god. In the end, they came to the conclusion that in order to become a god, they had to kill the previous god. So they began to act and successfully stole part of the power of the goddess of creation. They also bribed the "mortal brothers" in the universe who could connect with the power of the goddess of creation, and everything was ready.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, they killed their own mother without hesitation.
The mortals who were bribed heard the goddess' cry for help, but in order to get a share of the god's power, they collectively chose to remain silent.
So, when the tragic event happened, the original guardians who witnessed it all said that it was a mistake to let the mortals survive. Since then, they began to correct this mistake. This was the truth of the apocalypse that happened on various planets.
Before the goddess died, she sent the last guardians she could contact to activate the security protocol of the Seed of Life. She wanted to protect her children as much as possible. This was the truth of the sudden slumber of the First Borns on some planets.
"I'm done." Two hours later, Hao Ren let out a long sigh and took out a bottle of water from his Dimensional Pocket. He unscrewed the cap and looked up at Cardinal Orben. "Then, think about how to tell this story to the world."
The entire meeting hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. In fact, for the past two hours, the entire room was silent except for the voices of Hao Ren and the rest. This unbearable silence lasted for quite a while before an archbishop suddenly jumped up. He really jumped up, almost jumping over the table. "Barren … Ridiculous!! This … this is baseless and illogical! And … "
"Does it conflict with your known history?" Hao Ren knew what the archbishop wanted to say. "Actually, there is no conflict. 'The arrogance of the mortals angered the gods, causing the gods to destroy the world.' This is the core doctrine of the Disciples of Glory, and the truth is similar, just more advanced, more extreme, more … difficult for you to accept. I know it's hard for you to accept that your god is dead, and it's even harder for you to accept that your ancestors gave the last stab. But the truth is the truth, and I don't get any benefit from lying to you. In fact, I could have just walked away without telling you. It's just that you have the right to know your own history, that's why I said so much. "
At this time, the MDT, who had been silent all the way, suddenly jumped out and summed it up. "In short, everything in the Plane of Dreams is: I've been good to you, but you blew up your own mother. All the karmic entanglements start from this sentence."
