As soon as the warrior's voice fell, with a burst of white light that was not bright, but unusually soft, flickered, a somewhat illusory figure seemed to be a projection, and suddenly appeared in front of Joshua's eyes, it was the current Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, the legendary priest, St. Iger's crown.

The reason why Joshua didn't talk to Hill and the others just now, but frequently interrupted each other's words, was mainly because from the beginning, he sensed that there was a trace of spirit trying to communicate with him, and the warrior who sensed who the master of this spirit was understood that if there was no urgency, Eagle would not contact him so suddenly, but because of his respect for Hill and Fina, he still contacted Eagle in the order of first come, first served after communicating with the two.

"I didn't expect you to meet with other people, it's my fault."

The old pope is naturally not the kind of person who feels that he deserves privileges because of his status, and noticing that he has disturbed Joshua's communication with other people, Eagle said apologetically: "I am now in the depths of the Great Temple of the Seven Sacred Mountains, and I just have a trace of spirit, and I don't have the energy to care about the previous situation, and I can't go to meet you like Barbarossa and them." ”

"It's nothing, so His Majesty the Pope, is there anything urgent?"

For the old Pope, who was perfect in terms of strength, personality and morality, Joshua was still very respectful, and he asked with some curiosity: "If there is something urgent, why didn't you come to the Void before and talk to me face to face?" ”

"Because of something...... There is about the inside of the Church of the Seven Gods. But that has nothing to do with what I'm going to say to you. ”

The old pope, who was the projection, touched his beard, and didn't seem to know how to explain, but he thought about it, and still didn't reveal it to Joshua, but said softly: "I know part of the truth about the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground from Lolanda's mouth, which is consistent with some of the information preserved in the scriptures of the Church of the Seven Gods, because it is about the sages, so I plan to invite you to come to the Holy Mountain to talk about related matters in detail, I hope you have time, you can come to the Holy Mountain to talk to me." ”

"It's a matter of course, Lolanda has already told me before, but I didn't expect you to come and invite me in person."

Joshua nodded happily in agreement. Not to mention that the Church of the Seven Gods is originally a big force with many classics, Pope Eagle himself is the holder of the inheritance of the sages, the entire Church of the Seven Gods and even the Seven Gods, vaguely, seem to have a lot of relationship with the sages, and the warriors who have become legends originally planned to have a good chat with the Pope, but this time the other party took the initiative to invite, but it was just right.

Pope Eagle seemed a little surprised to see Joshua so readily agree, but his projection immediately said, "In that case, when are you going to come?" ”

"Right now."

Before he finished speaking, Joshua stepped out and had already come to the void, he felt the turbulence of time and space fluctuating around him, and then easily determined the range where the Sacred Mountain of the Far Sea was located, and in the next moment, the last words he left in the Fairy Country reached the ears of the pope's projection with wide eyes: "I'll be there immediately." ”

“……”

Iger, who had been shocked by Joshua's decisive character more than once, was still shocked this time, he had never seen such a neat, simple and direct guy, and after a dumb smile, the projection of the old pope shook his head and said with emotion: "Hey...... It's good to be young......"

As he spoke, the old Pope's projection dissipated directly in place, and on the side, Hotaru and Rin, who sensed a hint of something wrong, threw them out of the gate of the exploration base, looking at Joshua's back in the void in amazement.

"The host...... Why did he suddenly run away again?! ”

"How can there be such a thing! Every time! ”

"We ...... Has it become a mascot? ”

Not to mention the wailing sisters and brothers, the Sacred Mountain of the Far Sea, the Great Temple of the Church of the Seven Gods, the deepest part of the Temple of Heaven, and the secret room.

The white marble was covered with a layer of clean silver sand, and the star dust smelted from the most precious Mithril was like real gravel, and every corner of this small secret room was spread out one after another, and seven crystal lamps made of spiral crystals, charged with the purest power of holy light, and at the same time released a gentle but pure power of order, shining like spotlights on the seven statues of holy emblems scattered around the room.

A white-haired old man sat in the center of the secret room, the star dust absorbed all the sounds around him, and also blocked all the elemental energy fluctuations, only the power of the order of the holy light was still pulsating in such an environment, the old man's body was covered with a faint film of pure white light, the light inside was as soft and full of life as the morning light, and as dim and full of silence as the sunset, countless different kinds, different brightness, different bands of light covered his surroundings, and even formed a perfect and self-consistent cycle.

Seven statues of the emblem, a black ring representing the god of justice and might, a withered heart representing the god of love and decay, an Ouroboros representing the god of order and destruction, a thorn-crowned bird representing the god of restraint and freedom, a hammer and books representing the god of shelter and change, a bifurcated eye representing the god of wisdom and choice, and finally, the bones, dirt and grass of the god of life.

The old man closed his eyes and did not look at any of the statues, but the statues flickered one after another, projecting a portion of the beam of their own crystal lamp onto the old man, and they flickered back and forth, as if they were communicating with each other as if they were transmitting some message or words. After listening for a long time, the old man slowly spoke, "I don't agree. ”

His voice echoed clearly in the silent chamber, and the old man, the Pope of the Seven Gods, St. Eagle, opened his eyes and said in a calm tone, "He is more suitable than me. ”

"Yes, I am your pope, the agent of the world, I am your spokesman, I love this continent as much as you do, I love this world, and I love the people who live on it, but whether it is suitable or not has nothing to do with identity."

"I'm old...... Yes, I can live for many years, and if there are no accidents, I will even live to see the dawn of the next era, but my heart is already old, I am not suitable for pioneering, only for guarding, and my disciples are even more suitable for this position than I am. ”

"The ancient sacrificial ground has reappeared, the gate of all worlds has been returned, the rivers of fate are scattered, and the future has turned to the darkness called the unknown that we don't know."

The old man said softly, his tone calm and indifferent: "O gods, the calamity, wailing and death that you predicted did not come, which is enough to prove that you are not absolutely right, mortals can sometimes change their fate and make everything deviate from the original plan. I was ready to sacrifice, but you see, the flame has been rekindled, and the perfect ending has come, even if you dare not imagine it. ”

"In that case, why not try to believe it."

Hearing the old Pope's words, the seven statues of the Holy Emblem all shook at the same time, and then, with a long silence, under Iger's silent gaze, all the statues simultaneously released dazzling but different colors of light, and then shone on the old Pope's arm in turn.

Black rings, gray hearts, silver Ouroboros, white birds and brown thorns, red hammers and golden books, cyan bifurcated eyes, and white, black, and green bones, dirt, and grass. Seven emblems, which are by no means different in both fluctuation and color, are inscribed on the old pope's arm, forming a tree-like diagram of the emblems.

“……”

The light flickered, and the endless flow of information seemed to be asking for something, and the old pope listened quietly, and finally nodded solemnly.

"I am the god who walks on earth, the spokesman of the gods, the pope of Lady McCroe."

Slowly getting up, Eagle stood in the middle of the secret room, he looked around at the seven statues of the Holy Emblem in front of him that were emitting light, and said in the most solemn and serious manner: "I am St. Iger. ”

"Naturally, I will find out that you have sought the 'Divine Awakener' for thousands of years."

At this moment, in the far south and far sea, above the heavenly dome of the Far Sea Sacred Mountain, where the storm had stopped, a red red star fell rapidly from the end of the sky, and then, at the moment when it was about to touch the barrier of the Holy Mountain, it quickly stopped, as if completely ignoring the reaction force.

Joshua stayed outside the barrier, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, waiting for the barrier to open, and at this time, many priests in the holy mountain had already discovered the body of this meteorite, they looked up at the figure of the warrior, let out an exclamation, and then hurriedly notified the upper echelons layer by layer, because the legendary powerhouse, the hero of the battle of the holy mountain, Count Radcliffe, suddenly came to the far sea, but no one knew his purpose.

The old pope's expression in the secret room moved slightly, he had accepted the memory sent back by his projection, and shook his head with a wry smile, Eagle controlled the barrier of the holy mountain in the air, opened a door for Joshua, and after getting permission, the warrior landed directly at the foot of the holy mountain, and then like last time, he advanced step by step from the long staircase to the great temple at the top of the mountain.

With Joshua's strength, he can indeed ignore the sacred mountain barrier and the rules of the Seven Gods Church, but he is not a chaotic person who ignores the rules, and the so-called freedom is without affecting others. He knows what order is and is willing to abide by it.

Soon, he came to the entrance of the Great Temple, where the elite guards on the Holy Mountain all bowed in unison, and respectfully indicated that His Majesty the Pope was waiting for him in the Great Temple.

Following the uncomplicated corridor, he came to the entrance gate of the main hall, Joshua stepped into it, and could see the light of the sunset on the Microf continent shining down through the gap in the dome, paving a golden-red road in front of him, the warrior raised his head and looked at the end of this sunset path, the statue of the Seven Sacred Emblems located in the deepest part of the main hall, and in the center of the seven huge statues, there was a white-haired old man who was quietly watching him.

Joshua and Eagle looked at each other, and the two of them could already know each other's meaning without using words to talk, and Eagle immediately understood why Joshua would so simply agree to his invitation and come to the Seven Sacred Mountains, and why he would meditate in the secret room in the best state before coming out to meet each other.

It was instinct, an instinct between two strong men.

He had known for a long time that this day would come eventually, because the other party was Joshua Van Radcliffe, but he did not expect it to come so soon and so joyfully.

"Is there any reason, Joshua."

Standing at the innermost end of the main hall, surrounded by the Seven Sacred Emblems, the white-haired old man asked in a calm tone, and he looked at the warrior at the other end of the hall from a long distance shrouded in the light of the setting sun: "I want to know what you think. ”

And Joshua, who was standing at the entrance of the main hall, took a deep breath, feeling the power bursting out from the deepest part of his body, he shook his head and said calmly: "The arrogance of human beings to become the strongest has no reason from the beginning. ”

"I want to know where I've got, and I can't find anyone else to help me confirm that but you."

"Haha, hahahaha."

Hearing these willful and arrogant, arrogant and sincere words, St. Eagle's first stunned moment, and then he laughed naturally, and Joshua laughed with him, and the two laughed for some reason, but equally pleasant and relaxed. After a while, the old Pope restrained his smile and said softly, "You really think of me, but I'm very happy." ”

Then, he clapped his hands, and the magic circle that had already been engraved in the Great Temple was activated, and in the next moment, with the gentle fluctuations of time and space, the two of them were no longer located in the Far Sea Holy Mountain, but in a calm, but light-filled void.

This is a space without the turbulence of time and space, but without any matter, here it seems to be void, but it is not, because from here you cannot see the trajectory of the stars, nor can you see the light film of the world, it seems to be a territory higher than the sky, without borders, above the clouds and wind.

This is the abode of the gods, the Boundless Heaven

"Then Joshua, since you're going to challenge me."

In just an instant, the two legendary powerhouses were moved to the boundless heavenly realm, and the Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, who was ready for everything, slowly appeared behind St. Eagle, countless clusters of inexplicable light bubbles formed by countless spectra like glass balls, these light bubbles contracted and expanded, fused and split with each other, just for a moment, it seemed to have undergone thousands of changes and reappearances, as if implying time and space, fate, and infinity...... with light.

The same unpredictable flow of light began to be released from all over his body, and Iger's mortal form began to gradually dissipate, gradually fading, until finally, all that was left in the void was the endless light that was merging and splitting, and the last bland question.

"So, do you understand the light?"
