Civilization Tower world.
Holy Church of Knowledge.
At this time, the grand welcoming ceremony had ended, and the higher-ups had all left.
Some attendants and believers were cleaning up the mess.
Although it was complicated and busy, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
It was not until midnight that the disciples finally cleaned up the inside and outside of the temple.
Then, under the direction of a bishop, everyone started to set up the assessment venue.
It couldn't be helped. This had to be done immediately. It would be too late if it was too late.
From tomorrow onwards, the entrance of the temple would be filled with people applying to join the church.
There will be no doubt about it.
During the welcoming ceremony during the day, the Queen Of Thorns publicly announced that she would donate a large sum of wealth to the Temple of Light.
This was a fortune that could shake the entire Strife Zones.
Even the Pope, who had always been serious and solemn, looked decades younger.
In retrospect, today was indeed a special day.
In the morning, the gods descended.
In front of every living being in the Strife Zones, the Gods sealed away a disobedient.
At the beginning of the afternoon celebration, Queen Thorns immediately made an unprecedented donation. In fact, compared to the appearance of the gods, this donation had a greater impact on the temple.
— — at least for the next 30 years, every member of the Holy Church of Knowledge wouldn't have to worry about their expenses.
Furthermore, every member of the Holy Church of Knowledge would receive a special grant from the Bramble Bird Kingdom: the title of honorary knight of the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
Within the 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones, an honorary knight of the Bramble Bird Kingdom can withdraw 10,000 coins numbered 500 from any world.
This amount of money was enough for one person to live comfortably for the rest of his life!
Moreover, due to the dignity of the Divine Hall, no one dared to lay their hands on the members of the clergy to seize this wealth.
No one dared to openly confront the believers of the gods.
Therefore, this sum of money was secure and could not be taken away.
Therefore, it was not a taboo to say that the Queen Of Thorns's donation ceremony had long surpassed the descent of Gods, becoming headline news that all 200 million Worlds would revere and praise in one fell swoop.
Did this offend the gods?
Of course not. Her Majesty was helping the Church of God develop its power.
Tomorrow, the Pope would confer the title of Honorary Bishop upon the Queen!
…
Deep within the Holy Church of Knowledge.
The Pope's reception room.
Although it was a little late, there was still a secret negotiation going on here.
Only the Pope, the Queen, and a general beside the Queen were present.
The Pope smiled and said, "Your Majesty Lola, the knowledge and secrets of the infinite worlds are endless, why do you look so anxious?"
"Because I'm a child. I'm always eager to get what I want. You can also say that I'm impatient," Lola said.
As she spoke, Lola stretched out her hand and groped about in the void.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed something out of it.
It was a pair of iron chain gauntlets that emitted a gentle dark golden light.
"Eh? Epic-ranked Knight's Chain Gauntlets? My luck is pretty good this time. "
Lola said in surprise and threw the gloves behind her.
Ilya hurriedly caught the gloves.
"Your Majesty, the treasury is full. What do you think about this glove?" she asked.
"Didn't we donate a lot of things to the Holy Church of Knowledge?" Lola was surprised.
"Those are some piled up outside the treasury …"
"Oh …"
Lola exchanged glances with her.
So they only cleaned up some trash outside the treasury.
This pair of gauntlets is an Epic-grade treasure, so they can't just casually be thrown into a pile of trash.
"Ilya, take these gloves" Lola said.
Ilya showed the pair of glowing white gauze gloves to Lola: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Last time, you got a pair of Holy Apostle Gloves, I'm still wearing them "
Lola was troubled: "Hah, what do I do now, right — — - your Holiness, I'll donate another pair of Epic-grade knight gloves"
She took the gauntlets back and casually threw them on the table.
The Pope's eyelids twitched a bit as he watched.
"Lola … Your Majesty, your generosity has earned the gratitude of the entire Holy Church" the Pope organized his words.
Lola waved her hand dismissively, her expression turning serious.
"Your Holiness, I'll be frank with you, I need to know some secret knowledge"
"Your Majesty, tomorrow, I will grant you the title of Honorary Cardinal, you will be able to browse through the accumulated knowledge of all civilizations within the Holy Church of Knowledge"
"No, your Holiness, do you really think that I'm spending so much effort just to learn the knowledge of the myriad civilizations?"
"What do you mean, your Holiness?" the Pope asked.
"I want to know the secrets of the coins" Lola replied.
The Pope's frown loosened and smiled: "That's easy, although the miraculous functions of many of the coins are hidden, we've pretty much understood the first 700 coins"
Lola replied: "That's not what I want to know"
The Pope maintained his smile and nodded: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to desire the truth and secrets to be so much, but as the Honorary Cardinal of our Holy Church of Knowledge, you truly deserve it"
"The last 301 coins were forged by the four Righteous Gods, I didn't expect your Holiness to desire to know the secrets of these coins"
The Pope spoke in a pleased tone: "Searching for the secrets of knowledge, searching for the origin of civilization, understanding the truth of the Gods' creation from the coins, as long as your Holiness can maintain such a thirst for knowledge, sooner or later, I will be able to remove the word 'Honorary' from your title"
Lola casually replied: "Your Holiness misunderstands, I'm actually not interested in these few hundred coins"
The Pope froze.
He suddenly found that he couldn't see through the little girl in front of him.
The Pope tried asking: "Then … your Holiness means …"
Lola's voice became softer and lowered: "Your Holiness, I want to know the secrets of the last three coins"
The smile on the Pope's face disappeared, and his voice sounded a little dry. "Only one of the last three coins has been forged. Your Majesty, it may be difficult for you to track them down, but the Holy See is willing to help you find them."
Lola replied: "You're wrong, I don't need the Holy Church's help, I have my ways to find the last three coins"
She looked at the Pope and saw some sort of fear in his eyes.
"Your Holiness, you've probably guessed it, I know about that matter" Lola said.
"What is it?" the Pope asked.
"The Great Tree told me that it's something that can bring the dead back to life, something that can reverse the flow of all things, but it doesn't know the specifics"
The Pope abruptly stood up and quickly said: "It's getting late, your Majesty, please return"
Lola sat still and slowly spoke: "Your Holiness, I remember that the things I donated haven't even arrived yet, are you going to chase me away just like that?"
The Pope coldly replied: "Your Holiness, the Holy Church of Knowledge doesn't need any of your donations, and the Holy Church of Knowledge will definitely not reveal that taboo matter to anyone, including yourself"
He opened the door and said: "Please leave, your Holiness, our meeting is over, please do not return to the Holy Church of Knowledge from now on!"
Ilya worriedly looked at Lola and silently stepped in front of her.
"It's fine, Ilya, step aside, I still have something to tell the Pope" Lola said.
She opened her backpack, took out a black box from it and lightly placed it on the table.
"Please take a look at this" Lola said.
She opened the box, then closed it again.
At this moment, the Pope saw a black finger bone silently lying inside the box.
As soon as the box was closed — —
A pale white flame rose from the finger bone and flew out of the box, hovering in the air like mist, not dispersing for a long time.
The Pope stared at the white flame and muttered blankly: "My God …"
He couldn't help but close the door.
"Your Holiness, do you feel it?" Lola softly asked.
As the Pope stared at the flame, beads of cold sweat slowly formed on his forehead.
"You devil," he murmured.
"No, this is only a transaction, your Holiness" Lola replied.
"That is disrespect to God" the Pope replied.
"How is that disrespect to God? This finger bone is not a descendant of the Four Pillar Gods, nor is it a corpse of the Seven Daemons. It came from billions of years ago, belonging to an unknown God who had fallen "
Lola smiled: "I believe that this does not offend the Seven Daemons, so I intend to give it to you as a gift"
The finger bone of a God.
The finger bone of an unknown God.
It is different from the seven known paths to Divinity, so it must contain a never-before-seen secret to Divinity.
The Pope stared closely at the box and gulped.
He took out a white handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
— — -should I kill him now?
He looked at the little girl in front of him.
The little girl smiled.
Green branches and leaves sprouted from her back, lightly embracing her.
The Saint Bramble Tree!
Damn it, this is an existence comparable to God.
It's protecting me!
The Pope immediately gave up.
He tried his best to suppress his emotions and spoke in a low voice: "Your Holiness Lola, what exactly do you want?"
"Tell me the secret, the Holy Church of Knowledge's donation remains the same, the thing inside this box is my personal gift to you"
"Or you can choose not to tell me the secret, but I'm sure someone else will know"
Lola also lowered her voice: "Even if you don't tell me, someone else will eventually tell me the secret in order to obtain this finger bone, what do you think?"
The Pope went silent for a minute.
Then he smiled.
Shaking his head, the Pope spoke emotionally: "Your Holiness Lola, welcome to becoming the official Cardinal of the Holy Church of Knowledge"
"Your Holiness, the Holy Tree is here, please tell me the secret without lying, then you may take this box away"
"… Your Holiness, listen carefully, I will only say it once"
"Please"
"It was the era when the Divinities were at their most powerful, the final three coins were forged by 33 Gods from the Age of Old. The Gods did everything in their power to complete this greatest achievement, creating a power that surpassed all the other Gods within the three coins"
"Each of the three coins holds a portion of that power, you must gather them all, then use the three unique entities they represent to activate them in order to achieve that"
"Can that really be achieved?" Lola clenched her fist tightly as her breathing became hurried.
