Jing Jiu didn't rush over and observed carefully for a while.The protective shield is above the troposphere of the atmosphere, so it can't cover the rain, and naturally it can't block the wind.He stretched out his finger to feel the speed of the wind, and quickly calculated that the surface of the building should be more damaged at the rate of wind and rain erosion here.The traces of war in this grassland are so obvious, indicating that when the Sea of Darkness invaded that year, it was the most fierce main battlefield, why did that building still be preserved?
The lines on those stone pillars were not rune lines, and there were no formation fluctuations.He overturned the assumption that the priestess' legacy had nothing to do with the Ascended.- The dunes flowed, drowning his instep, then continuing upwards, eventually devouring his body.After a few moments, the grains of sand stopped rolling as if nothing had happened.In the depths of this desertified grassland, a looming light appeared.The light felt so sharp that nothing could stop it.There was a soft buzz, and the light vanished.………… That magnificent building was the main shrine of the planet stargate, and it was indeed similar to the fire towers in various cities, except that it was hundreds of times larger.Probably because the priestess lives here, there is not much modern civilization in this building, of course, it does not mean that it is very primitive, but those high-tech devices are hidden in huge stones, such as those military-level gravitational field generators are several stone sculptures from the outside.On the east side of the shrine hall there are seven meditation rooms, and there is a small Zen garden surrounded by four walls, with an ancient well in it, and a few green bamboos planted in the corners, facing the light falling from the sky.There was a soft buzzing sound, the well water moved slightly, and a figure flew out and landed between the bushes of green bamboo, and the bamboo branches suddenly became a little more energetic.Looking at the few clumps of green bamboo, I thought about the bamboo in the small mountain village, the bamboo at the gate of Tianguang Peak, which was as white as the mirror cave, and the bamboo that was moved by the child to the Three Thousand Courtyard......
Jing Jiu also had more energy.With sword qi protection, even if he traveled two hundred kilometers underground, the blue sweatshirt on his body was not damaged in any way, but the straps of the black backpack hanging on the outside were worn out.He reached out and crumpled the worn strap into a wisp of green smoke, walked to the well, looked down, looked at the water that had gradually quieted down, and turned away.………… The main hall of the festival hall is unimaginably large, with a dome about 300 meters high, and the walls painted with murals of ancient civilizations and gods seem to have no end in sight.After all, there is an end, even if it is the universe.At the end of the hall was a gray curtain that hung from the dome to the floor, made of some material, and the surface was so smooth that there was not a trace of wrinkle.If this is the embodiment of the sky, no one can object.On the other side of the gray curtain is a quiet and empty stone room, with candles burning on both sides of the stone steps, and the light of the sky spilling out of nowhere.There is a futon on the bluestone floor, the edges of which are badly worn.A black-haired woman sits on a futon, dressed in a white ritual dress with a gold tie around her waist that represents her noble status.The gold tie was as smooth as a curtain, without any wrinkles.The black hair is sprinkled like a waterfall, but it is so regular, extremely neat, as if each hair has its own place and will never be crossed.The woman's expression is gentle, her eyebrows and eyes are soft, and the whole person exudes a feeling of no contention with the world and no waves in still water.She is the most noble and highest-ranking priestess on the planet.The priestess didn't know how old she was, but for some reason, there were some traces of overthought between her eyebrows.With a gray curtain like the sky in front, this room seems to have no dome and can directly lead to the sea of stars in the universe.She sat here silently, as if she had been sitting for countless years.There was no incense burning in the room, and there was no smell from the burning flames.There is no ornate decoration here, except for a small bowl made of celadon in front of her.The celadon bowl was filled with clear water, and three pink petals floated on the water, not moving at all, as if they were fake.Out of nowhere, a fresh breeze came.The wind was so faint that it couldn't lift her hair, her clothes, or even feel it.The petals on the surface of the water of the celadon bowl fluttered slowly.The priestess looked up at the gray curtain in front of her, and there was a faint excitement in her quiet sight, as if she wanted to see the truth of history from this sky.There was no truth on the other side of the gray curtain, only a figure."
Do you believe in the existence of gods?"
The priestess asked softly as she looked at the figure on the curtain."
Nope."
The man said.The priestess thought about the conversation between the other party and the bishop in Shouer City, and said with a slight smile: "Then why are you here today?"
”"I have something I want to ask you."
The person outside the sky curtain was naturally Jing Jiu, and his voice had no emotional fluctuations.The priestess knew that he would not come in, so she did not answer his question directly, and said: "The ancient civilization and the sea of dark things have died together, but they have arranged their own recovery and prepared countless means, so that they can know everything and calculate the existence of everything, isn't it a god?"
”Jing Jiu said: "That person did exist?
”"God doesn't need to prove his existence, but he does leave his footprints in the world, from the main star to every colony we reclaim, including the one you stand," said the priestess. ”Jing Jiu thought of the mecha buried in the dirt in the museum's storeroom, and said, "That mecha is very backward. ”Unsurprising that he was able to find the footprints left by the gods, the priestess smiled and said, "You see, this is the so-called connection. ”Jing Jiu said, "How did you know about me?
”He was pretty sure that the lab's information hadn't been leaked, and even if the Ascended had noticed him through The Rising Road and the Vortex Rain Company, the priestess shouldn't have been allowed to conclude that he was the new god.The priestess whispered, "We have been looking for or waiting for your appearance in the world for many years, so it is natural that it will be easier to notice some traces. ”As for the military's most top-secret information......
For the priestesses at the top of the Starship Alliance's chain of faith, it was not difficult to understand."
When did you start noticing me?"
Jing Jiu asked.The priestess said, "From the moment you came to the lab. ”Jing Jiu thought to himself that it was really early, and asked, "After I left, how did you find me?"
”The priestess smiled and said, "There is a rumor that has suddenly appeared in an underground block......
Said there was a game hall that was haunted.You know, we people are the best at pretending to be ghosts, so naturally we pay attention to these things......"
Jing Jiu didn't continue the topic and asked, "What is a priestess?"
”The priestess whispered: "We are responsible for the inheritance of ancient civilizations, at the beginning, human beings did not believe our claims, and even persecuted and hunted us down like witches, until the civilization gradually revived, and many ruins of ancient civilizations were found on various planets through archaeology, and the existence of the gods was accepted. ”Jing Jiu said: "How to inherit?
”The priestess said, "Leave no words, but pass them on from generation to generation and read them in your head every day, so that you don't forget any of them." ”It sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult.Human memory will deteriorate, and what is more troublesome is that many long-ago memories will naturally disappear over time.Even after he turned his sword and was reborn, he forgot a lot of pictures in the palace back then, not to mention these ordinary female humans.If these priestesses wanted to remember the knowledge passed on to them by their predecessors, they had to repeat the memory every day, which was unimaginably hard.Jing Jiu understood why the priest selection attached so much importance to literary and historical knowledge, and probably understood the meaning of the word "Jing"."
All the remnants of ancient civilizations are in your memory?""
We are just ordinary human beings, but we can endure loneliness better than others, and we are not omniscient and all-powerful gods, how can we remember all the details of such a vast civilization?"
The priestess patiently explained: "In the beginning, there were 3,000 priestesses, and now there are more than 700 left, and each priestess only needs to remember their part. ”Jing Jiu said, "What are you responsible for remembering?"
”The priestess whispered, "Except for the history and general knowledge that all priestesses must remember, what I am responsible for is the least useful......
It's the artistic aspect. ”Jing Jiu thought of the famous art museum in Shouji City and agreed with her self-humility, which was really useless.As for that period of history, it must be the dark age when ancient civilizations and the sea of dark matter came to an end, so what about general knowledge?
Jing Jiu asked, "What does New God mean?"
”That's what he's here to do today.He had read the bishop's consciousness and knew that the priestess was looking for a new god, and the question was why?
This kind of thing doesn't need to be thought about, since you just happened to come to the surface once, then come directly to her to say hello.As for the transcendent status and status of the priestess on this planet, it was not in his consideration.This was a secret known only to the priestesses and their most trusted cronies, and when he revealed it, the priestess was not surprised, but more respectful, and bowed down to the figure outside the curtain.The gods are omniscient and omnipotent."
The last will left by the gods before they leave is for humans to wait for new gods to appear."
She fell to the ground and said, "I've been waiting for many years until you show up. ”Jing Jiu said, "Why me?
”The priestess said, "Because you are omnipotent, and you are from another world. ”()
