"Goode, you will never need to take the Profession classification test again!"
Bam — — -
Following the teacher's stern scolding, the school gate closed behind him.
Gu Qing Shan blankly stood in front of the gate for a while.
The test gate had been destroyed.
No matter how I tried to explain, the teachers didn't believe that I had nothing to do with this.
— — -speaking of which, I really did destroy the gate.
However, the teachers of this elementary school weren't that skilled, so they couldn't tell that I used my spirit power to blow up the gate.
They couldn't be blamed.
In this era, no one has ever been able to use their spirit power to blow up a gate.
— — -this is the power of evolution.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and prepared to leave the school.
"Young master Goode"
A voice came from afar.
It was a horse carriage with a middle-aged man wearing a formal black suit.
"You are?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The middle-aged man gracefully bowed and replied: "I am your butler — — young master, let us talk as we go"
He opened the door of the horse carriage.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and smiled: "You seem to know a lot of things"
The butler replied: "There were people who became Prophets at the Genesis, so naturally, there were also people who became guides in other eras"
"I see" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He boarded the horse carriage and left the school together with the middle-aged man.
An hour later.
The horse carriage stopped at a moderate-sized manor.
Gu Qing Shan had already entered the manor and was standing in the living room, admiring the murals of aristocrats on the wall.
"These are the ancestors of your family, all the way until this generation, you are the only one left" the butler explained.
"Was this an identity already arranged?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"There are two ways to advance through different eras of civilization, one of which is to start from the Ape Man era, slowly pushing the progress of civilization bit by bit; the other is to directly escape from the body's prison and jump to another era" the butler explained.
"The first method is to have a Prophet to guide and guide you; the second method is for people like me to prepare and greet the Saint's Chosen in each era"
"Greet? Is there something you want to tell me? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The second method is faster than the first method, which creates a certain degree of unfairness. Then, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will adjust accordingly" the butler said.
He placed a tray in front of Gu Qing Shan.
There was a letter on the tray.
Gu Qing Shan picked up the letter, opened the envelope, and carefully read the contents.
"An invitation letter from the Holy Church's Holy Academy?" Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion.
"That's right, you've skipped over a thousand years of time, so other than leading the civilization forward, you still need to do more" the butler said.
"Study?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, you want to destroy the entire Holy Church," the butler said.
Gu Qing Shan paused for a bit and pondered: "Religion is a part of the existence and development of a civilization, why do you want to destroy it?"
The butler smiled and said, "If it's an ordinary religion, it's fine. After all, existences like us, who are similar to 'prophets', can establish sects and promote the development of culture, philosophy, science, and art of an era."
"That's true" Gu Qing Shan agreed.
"That's why this Holy Church isn't what you think it is. It's a kind of corruption that targets the Samsara, a kind of conversion and occupation" the butler said.
"Could it be the Apocalypse?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No, it's not the Apocalypse. It won't destroy everything, but the harm it brings is far greater than destruction" the butler said.
The butler took out another box and opened it.
Inside was a full set of noble emblems, clothing, genealogy, the Count's seal, gems, gold, and even a famous scepter in history.
"Count?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"It's been sealed for a long time, unless you accept this identity, you won't be able to use it again" the butler said.
"What if I don't accept this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Please return to the age of the apes and lead them to create a new civilization" the butler said.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He took out the scepter from the box and said: "Then I'm willing to travel back thousands of years and do something in this era"
Instantly, a line of red text appeared in front of his eyes:
[You've obtained the scepter: Green Dragon's Whisker]
[All healing spells' effects increased by 30%]
[The wielder of this scepter will be widely recognized as a member of their family and automatically receive a certain amount of prestige]
[Attention!]
[You've accepted your current identity]
[You've accepted the Samsara's test mission: Destroy the Holy Church]
"Begin"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
Even the highest echelon of the Holy Church has admitted to this, it seems like I really do have to destroy the Holy Church.
"When do I leave?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Right now" the butler smiled.
"Do you have anything else to tell me?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"No, I'm only responsible for providing you with a clean and useful identity. Now that my mission is complete, the rest is up to you" the butler replied.
"Very well, do you have anything else to tell me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Remember, they're very greedy"
"Got it"
…
Three days later.
A horse-drawn carriage traveled a long distance and stopped in front of the Holy Church's Great God Institute.
Two members of the Holy Church in dark grey garb opened the gate. A dignified old man walked out and sternly questioned:
"Who are you, and why are you stopping at the place of God's teachings?"
No one in the carriage said anything.
Only a small bag was thrown out, directly at the old man's face.
The old man caught the bag and angrily shouted: "I don't care who you are, don't you dare — — -"
He suddenly noticed something.
A familiar and intimate sound came from the bag in his hand.
— — that's right.
There's no other metal that can produce such a pleasant sound.
The old man instantly stopped talking.
He silently weighed the small bag in his hand and calculated a number in his mind.
Very well.
This number is a sign of respect for me, the best calling card of an upper-class person.
The door of the carriage opened, and a young man wearing an aristocratic outfit stepped out.
The old man squinted his eyes to observe him.
This is … the uniform of a Count?
Which Count is this young?
That cane was very familiar. It was entirely black in color, with a dark green gem embedded at the top. This characteristic … had been introduced in the historical encyclopedia.
Beard of the Green Dragon!
So it's the famous Beard of the Green Dragon!
Seems like this is the young Count of the Dragonborn!
The old man silently put the bag away, exuded a divine presence, and solemnly asked:
"Child, what is it that you desire to come to the place of God's teachings?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I desire the protection of God, and to listen to the teachings of the Saints"
He handed the invitation letter over.
As the old man received it and read it, he was even more certain.
He winked at someone behind him.
A member of the teaching staff immediately went in to report.
— — -an esteemed aristocrat of the Dragonborn's caliber had to make some preparations to receive them.
Especially since the other party was an important member of the entire family, a true Count.
"God says, all devotion will be answered" the old man smiled and said.
"Thank you, sir" Gu Qing Shan bowed.
"Child, have you tested your Profession's direction?" the old man asked.
Gu Qing Shan's mouth twitched a bit and replied: "Not yet"
The old man nodded and said, "I'll arrange a test right away so that you can be classified into different classes and specialties."
"Thank you, sir" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Although it was already past the school opening season, the test was still arranged very quickly.
A total of three Bishops and one Archbishop came to personally observe the young Count's test.
"If he doesn't have any talent in Magic or Knight, then he can come to my Institute of History of Theology" one of the Bishops whispered.
"He's only 12 years old, how could he stay at your place?" another Bishop refuted.
"It's too early for him to go to your institute, he hasn't even reached puberty yet" the Bishop from before glared at him.
"Don't argue, let's see the results first" the Archbishop spoke in a low voice.
It was now that everyone stopped talking and stared closely at Gu Qing Shan on the platform.
Gu Qing Shan was also a bit nervous.
Last time, he held back half of his power and still messed up.
This time, he had carefully studied his spirit power on the way here and was able to control it to only a quarter of it.
And he could even choose the corresponding element to sense it.
— — -the facilities of the Institute of Theology must be much sturdier than the Primary School from before.
He glanced at the door behind him.
— — -this was a dark grey metal door that gave off a misty feeling, definitely a few levels higher than the one he blew up.
"Don't be nervous, child" a member of the teaching staff encouraged him.
"The preparations are complete"
"Very well, Goode, you may begin"
Gu Qing Shan walked over and stood in front of the door.
He took a deep breath and released a bit of his spirit power.
Oong — — -
The entire door gave off a sky-high dark grey light.
The wind howled.
Everything in the surroundings was blown away.
Everyone went silent.
"My god!" one of the Bishops shouted.
Boom — — -
The door broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
In a split second, all the supernatural phenomena disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and shrugged: "This really has nothing to do with me, I just — — -"
The Archbishop abruptly leapt forward and spoke with an extremely gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, this really isn't your problem, it's just that the testing equipment couldn't handle your talents"
"Then, can I enter the institute?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course, Count Goode, your identity and your talents are more than enough for you to restore your family's glory, perhaps even surpassing the most glorious moments in history" the Archbishop replied.
Gu Qing Shan appeared fearful and asked: "Then, which institute should I go to?"
"Institute? No, that would be a waste of your talents "the Archbishop replied.
Everyone turned to look at the Archbishop.
The Archbishop had a fanatical expression on his face and spoke: "I shall arrange for a group of the best teachers to be in charge of your education, but before that — — - please follow me, you must first complete the Fallen Prayer Ritual, correct?"
"Fallen … ritual?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
"Child, the ritual shall grant you endless power, allowing you to join us"
Following this declaration, the clergy around them retreated and were replaced by a group of higher-ranking clergy.
Everyone stood in a praying posture and chanted the incantation in a low voice.
The Archbishop chanted: "Falling is the true essence of living beings, only by falling can one escape from life and death, and see the truth of the world"
Dark grey fog began to rise.
Various noises could be heard all over the void of space.
Hands started to emerge from the ground one after another, waving their hands nonstop until they covered the entire area.
The ground seemed to have turned into a sea of grey. Many heads popped up from the ground, staring straight at Gu Qing Shan.
The clergy around them began chanting even faster.
As if something was about to begin!
Gu Qing Shan didn't expect to see something like this.
"Child, you are about to witness a miracle, this is an unparalleled honor!" the Archbishop excitedly declared.
"It is indeed very cool, I'm flattered" Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to agree.
As he looked around, he saw that everyone was also excited.
… This is a type of power that I've never seen before.
It's not magic.
How interesting … a Magic-type civilization that has an unknown power that doesn't rely on magic.
This power has even formed a large religious organization.
Tch.
The Middle Ages.
A group of people who have never seen a concert before.
No wonder they managed to form such a large religious organization.
