Eva and Ray were the only two people on the Blue Planet who knew about this secret. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that this secret wasn't something that could be easily accepted. That was why 123 had the grandfather and grandson go to the side to sort out their thoughts while waiting for the pitiful Pope to arrive. Eva had just called the Pope and he was still stuck in traffic on the Fourth Ring Road.
"Why does the temple look like it just finished a war?" The group of us gathered together to chat. Of course, Elson's attention was first on his temple. He immediately noticed the messy state of the temple, the Bible that was still drying on the pulpit, and the medium-sized hole on the temple door. He immediately asked curiously.
I poked Jingle, who was dozing off on my shoulder. The little one was startled. "With this clown as the vanguard, do you still expect your temple to be good? Let me tell you, the first thing she did when she came out was to gulp down the holy water on the pulpit. Then, she wreaked havoc in the temple. The hole in the door is still fine. Later, go out and take a look at the statue of the God of War in front of the stairs. It's all headless. "
Elson's expression froze. He smiled foolishly. "Hehe … That's the captain's style …"
"Speaking of which, why are all of you here?" I ruffled Pandora's hair. The first thing she did when she came over was hang on my arm. Then, she put on a straight face and didn't say a word. Her unapproachable attitude was clearly saying, "Whoever dares to come and steal our territory will be served by the warship's cannons." From start to finish, the only movement she made was to reach into my pocket and take out a handful of lollipops. "Pandora, leave some for your sister."
"Well, we heard that this is the world that Elson is in charge of. Everyone was curious, so they all came," the elder sister said with a gentle smile. "Then, all the adults in the family came out. They were worried about leaving the kids at home, so they brought along Little Bubble and Little Crow. Then, even the kids came out, so they brought Xizhio (…). Anyway, this is what you see."
"There's more! I knew that Ah Jun was safe, so I had to come and confirm! "Qian Qian seemed to be afraid that someone else would steal her sense of existence, so she jumped out and said.
I chuckled as I patted Qian Qian's head. She was always able to speak her mind without hiding her feelings. This was a talent that others couldn't imitate. Just look at Miss Lin, who was standing right in front of me. Her eyes were blinking like a shutter, but she still stubbornly stood there as if she didn't care. However, the aura around her body was clearly saying, "Hurry up and talk to me, you idiot." I couldn't help but recall what Lin Xue had told me the last time we had a spiritual connection. If I didn't remember incorrectly, she had lain in the coffin for half an hour. I was afraid she was still angry.
"Little Xue, how is it? Do you see things more clearly after coming to this world?" I knew that Lin Xue couldn't accept sweet words in front of so many people. So, I found a topic that everyone was concerned about. "Why can't Sandora and I leave this place?"
Lin Xue rolled her eyes at me. Then, she focused her senses and said, "It's much clearer than the prophecy from another world. I'm sure that there's something like a guiding source at work. It's in this universe. It's something that shouldn't appear in a sample. It is also related to you, which is why the Fifth Fleet got lost and ended up in this place. But I can't see the essence of this thing … It doesn't seem to be material, but … it isn't energy either. I see a dark cloud, and there is light swirling in the cloud. The background … seems to be space. "
Lin Xue's prophecies often had such paradoxical situations. We were quite used to it and knew how to temporarily put those uncertainties to the back of our minds and focus on the situation that we could solve for the time being. Hearing Lin Xue's words, Sandora was the first to frown. "You're saying that the navigation accident of the Fifth Fleet wasn't a system malfunction, but because Ah Jun was affected by an external object and went the wrong way?"
"I'm afraid so." Lin Xue nodded. "We all know that things created by the Empire rarely malfunction. Even if there was a malfunction, it wouldn't be so ridiculous. Plus, the system didn't leave any error log. Didn't you check the navigation device? Apart from the coordinates being cleared, there was no system error at all. That was why Tarver had guessed at the time that the Fifth Fleet had been operating normally even after they had lost their way to this universe. The only thing that was abnormal was the layer of environment that separated the Fifth Fleet from the surrounding void … in other words, the void domain of wood. His Void Domain shrouded the entire fleet, and it could be said that the Fifth Fleet was wrapped in a different 'small void' during the warp. Under such circumstances, if something went wrong with Wood's Void Domain, the fleet would be sent to an unknown place. And since there was no way to detect information beyond the Void Domain, your navigation device couldn't notice that the coordinates were erroneous, because the coordinates the navigation device observed were completely distorted and altered by Wood's Void Domain. "
"A brain in a vat …" A girl's eerie voice wafted from a corner behind us. I turned to look, but there was no one there. But a moment later, the person squeezed through a row of long legs and squeezed in between Lin and Icetis. It was Liliana.
"A brain in a vat?" Her sister's lips curled. "You're saying that the Fifth Fleet is like a brain in a vat when they warp? Indeed, the communication between the fleet and the real void outside relies entirely on Ah Jun's Void Domain 'translation'. That is why the fleet's navigation device doesn't know what's going on, and where the fleet will warp to is completely decided by Ah Jun. And in the end, everyone in the fleet would be completely unaware of what's really going on outside … "
"But that's not the point. It's unavoidable that the fleet would become a 'brain in a vat' after being enveloped by Wood's Void Domain. What we need to know is why Ah Jun would unconsciously lead the fleet to this world."
Sandora crossed her arms before her chest, her gaze finally landing on me with a hint of worry.
"Ah Jun, you don't feel weird now, do you?"
"Weird?" I lowered my head to look at my body. "There's nothing weird. I feel very good. Mm, very good."
But then, I suddenly remembered that I had an amazing experience when I was one with the void. Sandora knew about this experience, but would my conversation with Hilla affect the fleet's position? Taking a step back, even if I did go astray unknowingly because of my conversation with Hilla, I shouldn't have jumped into the Star Region Protoss's territory, but more likely to jump into Huron's territory … I don't understand. I really don't understand.
After thinking for a long time, I felt that this matter had nothing to do with the fleet getting lost. Lin Xue's prophecy was very clear. The fleet got lost because there was something in this universe that affected my judgment, causing the fleet to go astray. This was equivalent to denying the possibility that my conversation with Hilla had caused the fleet to go astray. It would be even better if the demigod's prophecy was clearer. We could go and find that thing directly. But we couldn't force things. In the previous situation where we didn't know anything, at least Lin Xue had given us a clear path. We should be satisfied.
Although Elson usually looked sloppy, he still showed a sense of responsibility as the God of World Management. He curled his finger and rubbed the tip of his nose. "Alright, I'll send a servant to scan the entire universe to see if there's anything that hasn't been designed in the template. That would most likely be the 'foreign object' that Lin Xue saw."
"It's hard to explain … and it might even alarm Father. After all, it involves the Void Creatures." Icetis, the carefree female rogue, also showed a rare look of distress. "Even if we really find some 'guiding beacon', we have to find a way to explain why it would appear in the Protoss's territory. Logically speaking, things related to Chen should appear in the Empire. The information disturbance of the Void Creatures would always try to bind things related to them to places closer to them, and not … in this remote and desolate area."
"Hey, hey, hey, I admit, this place isn't remote at all." Elson immediately defended his' child '. "Don't you think this is a very lively world?"
I thought about that silly old man Qiao who was a romantic alien fanatic and felt that what Elson said was right. This world was indeed full of vitality …
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from outside the temple. Eva picked up a phone call and looked up at everyone. "The Pope is here!"
Ray blinked. "Wasn't he stuck in a traffic jam on the Fourth Ring Road? Every time there's a traffic jam, it starts at two hours. "
As soon as Ray's voice trailed off, a loud voice came from behind the temple door. "I jumped out of the car and ran all the way here!"
Eva quickly ran to open the door. Then, she saw a skinny old man with white hair and a white beard, dressed in a white robe with golden trim. He turned around and waved his hand. Maybe he was waving his entourage away. The first thing the skinny old man did was to kneel in front of the temple door in Elson's direction. Then, he stood up and quickly ran over.
Many gazes fell on the skinny old man. He was the Pope of the Church of the God of War, the most powerful ruler of the Blue Star. However, it was the first time Sandora and I had seen him. I had originally thought that the Blue Star's council leader cum pope would be a middle-aged man in the prime of his life. However, it was only now that I learned that the pope was actually over two hundred years old, far exceeding the normal lifespan of a human. Just as I saw, he was slightly thin, his hair was all white, and his face was so old that it was unrecognizable. However, at the same time, he still stood ramrod straight without the slightest hunch, and the gaze that shot out from his sunken eye sockets was as clear and powerful as a young man's. After the old man arrived at the temple, he seemed to have completely ignored everyone around him. He only bowed to Elson. "God, your servant is late."
"You are already two hundred years old." Elson, who had never been out of tune, actually wore a smile that was different from the past. I was familiar with this smile. It was the smile Lin had when she faced the draconic humans on the mother continent, the Icetis when she told stories about her believers, and even Jingle when she watched her newly created animals run on the plains. They all had the same smile. "The last time I came, you were still a child. Over the years, it seems that every time I speak to you, you seem to grow older. Now you are like this. "
"But you are still strong enough to run from the Fourth Ring all the way to the temple," Monina said with a smile.
At this moment, the Pope seemed to focus his attention on the others. He bowed to the few gods he knew, but his gaze was still on the group of strangers. Noticing this, Elson patted the old man's shoulder lightly. "Mu, come with me. I have something to tell you. Also, this time I may be staying in this world for some time. I have some arrangements for you. "
So the Pope's name was' Mu '.
The people in this world had interesting names. I had just figured it out. They did not have the concept of surnames. Everyone followed the rules and came up with very short names as code names. Men's names were all single words, while women's names were all double words. Hence, Ray, Noel, Joe, Mu and so on were all single word names, while Eva's name was two words. In fact, it was common for men in the Blue Star to have the same name. After all, if it was only a single word, there was no way to arrange it. There were so many words, and you had to eliminate a large number of words that could not be used as a name. After all, if some words became your own name, you would be embarrassed to introduce yourself to others.
Every world had its own characteristics. It was common for men in the Blue Star to have the same name. Of course, they had their own way of dealing with it, which was — anyway, they were used to it.
In this world, students would never arrive at class. On the streets, they would always call people by their workplace or their relatives. When the news mentioned a person's name, they would always bring along their portrait … Alright, this is all a digression.
After a while, Elson had already personally explained the situation on our side to Mu. The old man vigorously followed behind his War God and came before us. Without hesitation, he prostrated himself on the ground and bowed deeply, "All the Gods above …"
I did not expect this, but my reaction was not slow. Before the old man could finish his sentence, I hurriedly helped him up. "Don't, don't. Just bow to your own God. I am not used to it … We are considered as members of the EsGod System. You don't have to bow."
The old man did not hesitate and nodded readily. Then, he looked at Ilson. "My Lord, the Gods should have important tasks in this world, right? It was a great offense for us to treat the two Gods as aliens. I am afraid that we have delayed the important matters … "
"It's okay. You don't have to worry about that. I have made arrangements." Ilson waved his hand. "Also, the two of them, mm, you don't have to be nervous. They must have taken the initiative to contact you because they found it interesting."
"Oh, I see. The actions of the Gods are unpredictable. They must have their own reasons." Mu nodded in understanding. "Then, my Lord, what should I do now? The believers are waiting to meet you outside. Do you want to dismiss them first? "
Ilson thought for a while and suddenly revealed a bitter expression to Monina. "It seems that we can't escape. Don't dismiss the believers. It's not appropriate. Monina and I will go out for a walk. Then you … "
As Ilson spoke, he looked at the others. Of course, our whole family didn't plan on joining in the fun from the start, so we all retreated. However, the remaining three of the five Protoss cops and Dingdang also retreated a few steps in unison. Thus, we worked together and left the Ellson siblings hanging in the air.
"Hey, you can't do this to your teammates, okay?" Ilson said with a bitter face. "Are you guys worthy of your statues here?"
Icetis shrugged indifferently. "That's your problem. My statue is not here."
Lin turned her head away and did not dare to look at Ilson. "You said that you and Sister Monina are enough. I won't join in the fun."
Kenser thought for a while and came up with a nonsensical excuse. "My back hurts recently. My back hurts."
Ilson said, "… You win. Sister, let's go out and let the others see!"
Then, I saw the brother and sister tidy up their outfits and gave themselves a circle of buffs. They made themselves shine like laser lights on a stage. They were ready to go out for a tour.
The few of us gathered together and studied for a while. Then, we decided to go and watch the fun.
Of course, we had to pay attention to disguise ourselves. After all, according to our previous discussion, in order to avoid affecting the lives of ordinary people, and more importantly, to save trouble, only Ilson and Monina had descended to the ordinary believers. (The news of the god's descent had already been sent out. Someone had to go out and show his face.) So, Lin, Kenser and Jingle naturally could not go out openly. Perhaps Jingle could. After all, the impression of the Goddess of Life in this world was like a mosquito. No one would recognize Jingle even if she flew out. Moreover, Sandora and I also had to keep a low profile. As guests from outer space, our faces would probably be broadcasted on the news in this world.
So, a large group of us asked Ray for a dozen sets of the church's clothes and put on an illusion on our faces. We made ourselves look as if we had just come out of the Assassin's Creed. Filled with curiosity and a desire to cause trouble, we followed Ray out of the church. The younger ones also followed behind us. Each of them was wearing an extremely small robe. These were the clothes that Eva had worn in the past. Based on their age, it was just right for the little girls at home. I reckoned that these little girls were the most eye-catching among our group. No matter how I looked at them, they did not look like priests (should I call them nuns?). The little girls followed noisily at the back of the procession that was sending the God off. They fought, ran and screamed. Their movements were even louder than the God's …
