"The Great Arbiter …" Mo Qiong quickly explained everything that happened in the underground city.
Including Qetesh not believing in God, as well as Qetesh being trapped in his own anomaly … etc.
Ke Long weakly said: "Is that so … Gaia church will not let this go. In the near future, no, perhaps today, they will launch a frenzied attack on the Deep Sea Prison"
"Why?" Mo Qiong asked.
Ke Long said: "Because their headquarters have already been destroyed by us. They have suffered heavy losses, and almost all of them have been exposed. If they don't fight now, they will only become weaker and weaker until they are completely wiped out by us. In other words, today is the day when they have the highest chance of saving Gaia! "
Mo Qiong was confused: "No, I'm asking why they still want to save Gaia? Their Archbishop has already seen through Gaia's true nature. She wants to destroy humanity, including her own believers "
Ke Long smiled and said, "Not everyone thinks like Krate. Don't underestimate the beliefs of a thousand-year-old organization. Perhaps their philosophy is laughable in our eyes, but I want to say … they really want to atone for the sins of humanity."
"Frode saw through Gaia, but he still chose to assimilate his own thoughts, making himself forget that reviving Gaia is equivalent to committing suicide. Why? Because what supports their efforts is not Gaia, but the belief of saving Gaia "
"It is the belief that their ancestors have sacrificed countless times for."
The Gaia church had a history of more than 2000 years, and most of the core members were passed down through families.
The current members of the Gaia church were the descendants of the scholars of the Earth Divination school.
Especially since ancient times, they had lived in a closed environment for a long time, doing what they thought was right alone, generation after generation … forming a very strong sense of clan.
"Asking them to give up on saving Gaia is the same as denying the efforts of their ancestors in the past 1000 years, denying the value of their own existence"
"The reason Qetesh did that was because he was unwilling to give up the foundation of his ancestors, which means that his thoughts are not firm enough and his awareness is too low. In fact, most of the Bishops and Archbishops treat the beliefs passed down by their ancestors as true wealth, not material things "
After hearing Ke Long's words, Mo Qiong cursed: "What kind of belief is that? Their ancestors are ancestors, but aren't the ancestors of humanity? They didn't want to deny their ancestors, but they forgot that the gods were sealed by the ancestors of mankind! "
Ke Long said, "You don't have to judge whether their ideals are right or wrong. They just think that they are right and that the rebels are guilty. Clans and cultural progenitors were two different concepts. The former was a concept passed down from generation to generation and was deeply rooted. As for the latter, the Church doesn't even know their surnames. "
"Believe me. Even if they know that saving Gaia means death, they will still do it. Most of them are willing to die the moment they realize their dreams. "
Mo Qiong muttered, "How could this be …"
Ke Long smiled and said, "How can you have such a firm belief? Mo Qiong, you must always remember to respect your enemies. "
"If you think that they are ridiculous and underestimate their willingness to sacrifice for their ideals, then you cannot be more wrong."
Seeing that Mo Qiong was deep in thought, Ke Long said, "Do you know that the Blue and White Club only had a dozen people left?"
Mo Qiong nodded and said, "Of course."
Ke Long continued, "At the time, the Blue and White Club was at its most insane. The leader at the time was the second president, as well as the only female president in history"
"At the time, all of the bases that the first president operated were destroyed by various countries, so they didn't have any anomalies left. The dozen or so people were chased by the entire world like terrorists."
"At the time, the mainstream ideology was that anomalies should be controlled by each country, while our ideals were laughable and sinful"
"The Blue and White Club was about to be destroyed, but the second president didn't give up and led everyone to adhere to the ideology of unified containment"
Mo Qiong fell into thought. From the perspective of each country, the Blue and White Club's ideology was truly sinful … to want to keep such a dangerous and important thing in the hands of a supernatural organization that wasn't controlled by any organization.
But now, the Blue and White Club's ideology was the mainstream. Anomalies were scattered among the various countries, forever in conflict. Not only did they have to fight against new anomalies, but they also had to fight against other countries. Humanity's collective strength was being wasted and consumed internally.
Ke Long continued, "At the time, the second president's situation was: If she gave up, all of her predecessors' efforts and sacrifices would have been wasted. If she insisted, then we would have continued down the wrong path. Confusion and doubt tormented the members of that era all the time. "
Mo Qiong took a deep breath. The reason why so many members were able to persist was mostly due to the support of the Global Council.
The sense of mission of representing humanity was a form of support.
But at the time, the second president didn't have any support at all, the entire world rejected her. If she didn't succeed, then she would have gone down in infamy without a doubt.
Ke Long continued, "Under the rejection of the entire world, the Blue and White Club's survival depended on the second president's choice. That kind of hopeless effort almost destroyed the Blue and White Club "
"But in the end, the second president made a decision during the most important meeting: Perhaps we are all sinners, self-righteous in our pursuit of a cause that would overturn the world. But I firmly believed that I was right, that I wasn't wrong. If I'm wrong, then kill me, only death can stop me. Otherwise, I would rather persevere, even if it meant death and infamy, even if it meant being called the greatest criminal in the history of humanity! "
"I had already become the Original Sin of Extreme Evil, carrying the guilt of harming humanity on my back, I had the resolve to die in despair"
Mo Qiong let out a long breath, he didn't know how to evaluate that resolve.
If this was a wrong path, then there was no doubt that it was extremely sinful. The despair of the collapse of the guilt and ideals was unimaginable.
Strictly speaking, this kind of resolve to go down a dark path would only make the mistake more and more wrong. It wasn't good, it could even be said to be a lunatic, the type of resolve of a typical terrorist.
Ke Long said, "I'm not saying that the people of the Gaia Church have such resolve. I just want to talk about the madness that supported the second president. Clearly, everyone said that she was wrong. She knew that she would die if she continued, and her name would go down in infamy, but she still did it. Because her predecessors had already sacrificed a lot, she only wanted to die the moment she realized her dream, or die on the path of realizing her dream. She didn't want to die while denying all the hard work of her predecessors. "
"Now, the Gaia Church has the same madness."
"Mo Qiong, this is an organization that used shovels to dig for a thousand years to find Gaia's Ark, and then collected Gaia's body underground for eight hundred years!"
"Two thousand years of stubbornness made them not care about sacrifices and the evaluation of others."
Smart people knew that the ideals of the Gaia Church would eventually lead to destruction. Krate was such a smart person.
Krate wasn't the only smart person like him. Kovido, who controlled Gaia's Ark, was also on Revival Island. He definitely knew that Gaia would kill them.
However, surviving after unsealing Gaia wasn't the first goal of this organization.
Smart people knew that the final outcome wouldn't be good, but they still wanted to make themselves stupid and continue going crazy with the idiots. This was love.
"Mo Qiong, I heard that you want to become the president?" Ke Long suddenly said.
Mo Qiong grinned and said, "Yes, I want to."
Ke Long smiled and said, "After stopping the Gaia Church or sealing the released Gaia, if you are still alive, you will be the preacher!"
Mo Qiong's body trembled. If he lived until the end of this matter, he would be the preacher?
He didn't even ask for Mo Qiong to play a big role in this matter.
"Your achievements are enough to gain everyone's recognition. We just need to wait until this matter is over before we have the time to hold a referendum for the preacher," Ke Long said with a smile.
Mo Qiong understood that as long as Ke Long held a referendum and publicized his achievements, he would naturally become the preacher.
There was no need to mention the importance of the transmigration squad to Lan Bai She, as he himself had taken in many anomalies.
After that, as long as the Gaia Church was completely destroyed, Mo Qiong would definitely be the one to blame. Because Mo Qiong's characteristics were the most crucial factor in the final battle against the Gaia Church.
The preacher referendum required the 6 Great Arbiters to hold it, but since Ke Long said so, even if he died, Wu Yun Mo and the other Arbiters would help him hold it.
Becoming a preacher was the only way to become the president.
Mo Qiong didn't expect Ke Long to already recognize him.
"Thank you, Great Arbiter."
Ke Long shook his head and said, "There is no need to thank me. You already have the qualifications. Even if you become a preacher, you are still far from being the president. Remember, the most important quality of a president is courage. In a sense, the president is the biggest scapegoat. "
"Scapegoat?" Mo Qiong was stunned.
Ke Long continued, "Ever since the 2nd generation, the president's position has been given absolute authority. Using the 6 Great Arbiters as a buffer, the president will only be elected in times of chaos or great calamity "
"In truth, it requires a person who is willing to bet on the fate of humanity. This requires foresight, courage, and luck"
"Any decision can turn the president into a hero, but it can also turn him into the Original Sin of Utmost Evil"
If he was right, he would be a legend. If he was wrong, he would have to take the blame.
"I understand!" Mo Qiong solemnly said.
Seeing that, Ke Long suddenly smiled slyly: "I have high hopes for you. To train you to have the courage to take the blame, I want to ask you for a favor"
"Help? Please tell me "Mo Qiong was stunned.
Ke Long secretly sent his voice through mental power: "Help me steal the Golden Apple …"
"What!?" Mo Qiong was stunned.
