Last Totem Novel - Chapter 643
Chapter 643 Sacred Flame Brilliance
When the news that the Temple of Glory had defeated 800,000 troops on the northern plains with 50,000 people spread throughout the world, an old man dressed in a gray robe and wearing a long sword on his waist arrived at the end of the world and walked into the collapsed temple.
Looking around, there were broken stone pillars and broken stone statues lying on the ground.
In front of the altar stood another old man.
The sword-wielding old man walked forward, facing the Holy Flame, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head in worship.
“Northern Wilderness Continent, Tieshan Town, the Holy Flame is reignited.” In silence, the old man with the sword said.
The old man in front of the fire was slightly stunned. Then, he turned his head and stared at the beating flames. He remained silent for a long time.
A moment later, he arrived in front of a stone statue lying on the ground with only half of his body left. A third of its head was shattered, and it lay there quietly, staring at its only eye, as if it did not want to close it. Looking down, it held a huge torch in its hand.
“Drink!”
After staring for a long time, the old man in front of the torch suddenly shouted. He used his hand as a knife to cut off the stone torch. Then, he hugged it with both hands and extended it to the top of the brazier. Using that small cluster of flames, he lit the black fuel on the torch.
With a “peng” sound, the large ball of flames burned. The orange-red flames immediately illuminated the dim temple.
“I will follow the path the ancestors took and send the fire seeds to the Land of Restoration.” The old man before the fire patted the old man’s shoulder and said, “Old friend, I’ll leave this place to you.” Then, he carried a huge stone torch and walked out of the hall step by step.
“Old friend, please take care.” The swordsman nodded as he watched his back slowly fade away.
At this moment, there was a deathly silence in the meeting room of the Temple Council of Elders.
The elders furrowed their brows, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn. They had expected Matthew to be defeated, but they hadn’t expected that he would be defeated so badly. Their original plan was to wait for Matthew and the other party to fight to the death, exhausting the remaining brilliant strength of seven to eight, and then take action to clean up the battlefield. However, Matthew was unable to last for even three hours. He was able to crush a thousand kilometers in one fell swoop. One could imagine how much strength he could consume from his opponent.
Was the enemy too strong, or was he too weak?
“Old man, send out the Crusaders.” After a long silence, Leo Bruno took the lead. As long as the Temple Crusaders were sent out, all the problems would be solved. In the face of such a huge gap in strength, factors such as will to fight, morale, and so on would become insignificant.
“Your Holiness, give the order.” “Sweep them, just like 186 years ago!” “In one go, wipe out all these brilliant remnants of evil, and we will never have any future troubles!” “Yes, never again!”
The elders revealed ferocious expressions, their auras rising in vain. It was only at this moment that they finally remembered that they were the masters of this world, and the brilliant remnants were just a bunch of insects that could be crushed to death at any time.
The old Pope hesitated and said, “The Crusader’s sword can only be swung at outsiders. This was an agreement made a thousand years ago.”
“Since when do you have to worry about this old and crude rule?” “This agreement was broken 186 years ago.” “We are the strongest now. So what if we don’t obey? Who else dares to oppose us?” “Give the order, Your Holiness.”
“Oh” The old Pope muttered, his expression unpredictable.
“Your Holiness, pray for rain.” Suddenly, an iron guard walked in and whispered in his ear.
The old Pope raised his hand to show that he was not free.
The Iron Guard went out and informed Mu Yuqinxin, who was waiting outside the hall, of the Pope’s reply.
“I’m really sorry, His Holiness is holding a council of elders.” The Iron Guard nodded and said, “Another day, Lord Priest.”
“Can you help me ask?” Mu Yuqinxin insisted, “I’m just sending a letter. It only takes a very short time.”
“This” The Iron Guard hesitated for a moment and asked, “Can I pass it on?” He asked politely, though he thought it was unlikely. This was because if he could hand it over on his behalf, the other party would be a sacrifice and would not be able to come personally.
As expected, the other party shook his head.
“Then I’ll ask again. Please wait a moment.” The Iron Guard bowed and retreated. When they returned to the meeting room, they saw the Pope slapping the table angrily, pointing at the elders and cursing, “Where are your family’s troops? Send out one tenth of each of them, and we’ll be able to wipe them out!”
Seeing this, the Iron Guard didn’t dare to ask any more questions and retreated.
“I’m really sorry, Your Holiness. It seems that something unpleasant has happened to you. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to meet you now.” The Iron Guard said.
“Alright, thank you.” Mu Yuqin nodded and left the Sun Shrine.
Twenty minutes later, under the escort of two teams of red-clothed nuns, she walked along a white jade road, passed through the central garden, circled the Gemini fountain carved with the sun and moon, and returned to the Moon Praying Divine Palace.
On the side of the moon pool, she saw Mu Yu Ling Lan.
“Sister, the Pope has not seen me.” Mu Yuqin pouted and said wrongly.
Mu Yu Ling Lan narrowed her eyes and did not say anything. After pondering for a long time, her phoenix eyes suddenly opened wide, as if she had made up her mind. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the golden staff in her hand, and said to Muyu Qinxin, “Let’s go, I will personally meet the Pope.”
“Ah!” Mu Yuqin cried out in surprise, “With your status, wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”
“For your own man, what’s inappropriate?” Mu Yu Ling Lan said with a cold frost on her face.
“Long live sister!” Mu Yuqin raised her hands and shouted excitedly.
Half an hour later, the Cenozoic Moon Prayer Sacrifice brought over three hundred Saint Ranked experts to the Sun Shrine. Although everyone tried their best to suppress the energy fluctuations, the pressure created by the three hundred plus Saint-ranked experts standing together was enough to cause an ordinary person’s mind to collapse.
The iron guard in front of the hall saw this and thought that something big was going to happen. He hurriedly ran in and notified the Pope.
“Saint Augustman, Mordleton, please meet me in front of the hall.” Mu Yu Ling Lan’s lips gently opened, and her cold voice immediately spread throughout the entire Sun Shen Temple.
The Pope, who heard the voice, quickly brought his men out. At this juncture, he didn’t want to provoke this group of crazy women.
“Muyu Ling Lan, why did you bring so many people here?” The old Pope asked impolitely. Earlier, Mu Yu Ling Lan had called him by his name and didn’t put him in his eyes at all.
Mu Yu Ling Lan glanced at Mu Yuqin Xin. The latter immediately stepped forward and delivered Lena’s letter to the old Pope.
“That’s why?” The old Pope asked.
“Yes.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said expressionlessly.
“Then I’ve already received it.” The old Pope hinted at the letter in his hand and gave the order to expel him. “Moon prayer, we are still in a meeting. Excuse us.”
“There’s one more thing I want to tell you in person.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said.
The old Pope turned around and made a “please” gesture.
“Saint Augustman, Mordleton, I must remind you that a thousand years ago, the attendants of the Sun God and the Moon God had sworn an oath that the Temple Crusaders and the Moon God Guards would not participate in the civil war between humans.”
Mu Yu Ling Lan’s voice was dignified and solemn, carrying a faint pressure that echoed in everyone’s hearts.
“186 years ago, we chose to remain silent, but that doesn’t mean …”
“We will remain silent forever.” Her eyes were icy cold, and they flickered with a dangerous and decisive light. That voice was like a thousand-year-old glacier that couldn’t be melted, cold and hard.
“If someone breaks the oath again, I, Muyu Ling Lan, the 674th Moon Prayer Priest of Notre Dame will lead the Moon God Guards to the bloody cleansing of the palace!”
With that, Mu Yu Ling Lan waved her robes and led the experts away proudly.
All of a sudden, the expressions on the faces of the Temple Elders froze, as if what they saw and heard earlier was not true, but a dream. Notre Dame Academy, which had always been close to the Temple, was actually so powerful that it seemed as if it was going to start a massacre if it didn’t agree with a single word.
Although the Temple Crusaders were much stronger than the Moon God Guards, they were bound to be extremely empty during the war.
The elders were still in a daze when another piece of bad news came back.
“The five great clans of the seven great clans of the demon race have simultaneously issued a statement recognizing the diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory and wishing the Holy Flame glory.”
“Shameless bastard!” “These filthy barbarians!” “They actually want to interfere in the internal affairs of mankind!” “Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy to split humanity!” “Protest, resolute protest!”
However, before they could recover from their shock, another piece of bad news came back.
“The Crimson Queen of the Bee Ant Swarm, Salazar, issued a statement in Pure Land, acknowledging the sole diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory and threatening to’let the War Song Shaman warm her bed ‘.”
“My True Divinity …” “My Holy Light …” “They also want to kick in!” “I didn’t hear wrongly, did I? The swarm of bees and insects also know diplomacy.” The elders felt like they were going crazy. The swarm of bees and insects had never established diplomatic relations with humans since they came into contact with each other.
“The Grand Duke of Gold, Yojavin Lombar, has issued a statement recognizing the diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory. He is willing to put aside all past grievances and work together for development.”
The third piece of news was like a giant hammer that struck the hearts of the elders. The second largest noble in the world was actually the first to throw an olive branch at the enemy.
“The Seven Spirit Serpent Clans of the Far East recognize the diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory.” “The Five Horned Rhino Clans of the Far East recognize the diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory.” “The nobles of the eight territories of Prayer Rain City recognize the diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory.” “The nobles of the Four Great Territories of Sandy City, the Sandy City Autonomous Council, recognize the diplomatic status of the Temple of Glory.” “Nancheng City Hall …” “Silver City 35 …” “Silver City 43 …” “Silver City 20 …”
The bad news came one after another, and the elders were a little numb.
Returning to the meeting room, the old Pope opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, put on presbyopic glasses, and began to read carefully.
The handwriting was round and full, and the strokes were graceful and smooth.
To–
Respected St. Augustman Modleton:
I’m the dragonizer, Lena Euclid.
Perhaps I should call you Grandpa Zeng, if you admit that I’m an illegitimate daughter.
However, whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t matter.
Most importantly, I went to the Endless Withering Plane.
You should know that the flow of time there is a thousand times faster than here.
Three years later, when I return, if I don’t sense that person’s aura, I will destroy this world.
At that time, I wonder how you, who boasts of being the guardian of the world, will feel?
Angry, regretful, unhappy, throwing things?
I don’t know what exactly it is, but it must be very unpleasant.
So think about it when you make any decisions.
By the way, the man’s name is “Tie Zha Northess.” Remember, this concerns the safety of the world you protect.
Thanks. Goodbye.
–Your great-granddaughter.
“Why is it that person again” It was like the last straw that crushed the camel. After reading the letter, the old Pope was dejected. He collapsed by the wall and lost the might of a peerless Sovereign. He was a dilapidated little old man.
“Your Holiness, Your Holiness!” “You can’t fall.” “You are our mainstay!” “You can’t leave us at this critical moment.” All the elders gathered around him and shouted in a mess.
The old Pope’s hands trembled and he was speechless for a long time.
“Send … Send what?” Leo Bruno asked as he held the old Pope’s hand.
The old Pope raised his hand and pointed outside. He said angrily, “Show … admit them …” However, before he could finish speaking, he fainted. His name was destined to be nailed to the disgrace pillar of the Temple.
He could imagine that hundreds of years later, generations of pope critics would point to his name and say, “This old fool named Augustman has destroyed more than half of the inheritance created by our ancestors. He is the stupidest Pope in the history of our Temple …”
Two months later, on January 10, 3718, Silver City time, in the early hours of a snowy morning, Tieshan Town’s residents, stall vendors, and scrap pickers came to the streets dressed neatly. They quietly stood on both sides of the streets and looked into the far north.
The bone-piercing cold wind made his skin hurt, but no one left and returned to the warm stove.
Although the victory of the war had not yet begun to change their lives and was still filled with poverty, they could now live with their heads held high. Sometimes, pride from the bottom of your heart is more important than anything else. Without money, one could earn, without dignity, but it was hard to get back.
In the darkness, a figure walked over from afar. His shoulders resisted the stone pillars and he strode forward like there was nothing in the world that could stop him from advancing.
In the cold wind, a cluster of bright flames was slowly burning, emitting a warm light …
