The Sabbath Chapter 232: Master Ashishvi Methtar
This is a peaceful age.
The scientific and technological civilization of Sky City is highly developed, the social welfare system is perfect, and people's material needs have been fully met; the level of medical care has also reached an unprecedented level. , little support, a high degree of equality in human rights, no racial discrimination, and no gender discrimination.
A time without wars, without disasters in cities, and with extremely low crime rates seems almost an ideal time.
It's all about "looks".
Beneath the peaceful surface, people still haven't forgotten that they live in a tower.
The sky looks blue, but that is the color that is filtered through layers of artificial shields. The sky is always bright, and everyone knows in their hearts that it is not the light of peace, but the light brought by collisions and explosions that occur all the time in the universe.
From ancient times to the present, people have known and explored the world they live in little by little.
In ancient times, people left the area they lived in to explore the area next door;
Later, people went further and left their "country";
Afterwards, people have learned about all the countries on the planet they live in, and they start to study various sciences, manufacture spaceships and aircraft, break through the atmosphere, and explore other planets in the universe.
Nowadays, all the planets have been called "star cities". The highly developed technology allows people to know the planet they are on very well, and they can travel to other planets very conveniently. The distance barrier has almost disappeared in this era. All you need to pay is a little time.
Human beings have an innate desire to explore, no, not only humans, as long as they are living organisms, everyone has this desire. It's not just a thirst for knowledge, this desire comes from a sense of urgency. Everyone needs to know where they are, and where they can go if there is a disaster locally in the future.
As long as there is a living object, there will always be this desire endowed by the subconscious in the heart.
However, just in this era of incomparable peace, highly advanced technology, and incomparably rich people's lives, people's desire to explore has been stopped.
Everyone knows where they live, in the endless belt of eternal light, in the last paradise of the Big Bang.
It sounds like a paradise. To some extent, if you use another adjective to describe it, it is an isolated island.
Everyone who has studied history knows that the time span of any terrible disaster that can change the shape of the universe is often calculated in "billion years".
Zhou, generation, century, century, period, and time are all units that can describe time.
Human beings are just creatures that exist at a small point in the history of time.
Under normal circumstances, people don't mind that they live in a certain time and era.
However——
They are at a very special point in time.
The universe burst open with a bang.
The vast majority of life has disappeared in the vast universe, and there are no longer any stars in the entire universe.
It can be said that today's human beings live in the early days of the universe.
No one knows when the explosion will stop, no one knows when the matter in the universe will re-stabilize, no one knows when the debris in the nebula will shrink under its own gravity, creating a vortex, and thus new stars
People are drifting in the tower, no one knows when the outside environment will change, when will the first planet that can be settled by human beings appear in the universe
Everything is unknown.
Under the seemingly peaceful background of the times, people are very confused about their future life.
In the beginning, the compulsory education in the tower had detailed history courses. The textbook introduced all the life of people before they lived in the tower, and also described in detail the difficulties of human beings in building towers and settling in the tower. history.
This kind of detailed history education lasted for about three hundred years. New textbooks were introduced, and in the new history books, the "new history" of a large number of people living in the tower replaced the previous content.
You can understand this change as an inevitable change caused by the historical process. The continuous accumulation of new history will inevitably squeeze out the weight of past history.
However, the deeper reason is that people's anxiety has been increasingly generated, the lack of human genes, the emergence of new genetic diseases, and a large number of disqualified people are forced to move to the underground city
There is a growing sense of disorientation about the times in which they live.
There have even been two suicide spree in human history.
Despair for the future spread rapidly among ordinary residents, and many suicide organizations appeared on the Internet for a while, and everyone agreed to commit suicide together at the same time.
It was a terrible two years.
After that, the control between the star cities was strengthened.
The originally very open freedom of speech has also been restrained, and the network between the dungeons has been completely interrupted, and it has not been restored until now.
In this case, various "religions" came into being.
People have faith and regular church activities can help people relieve stress. In this case, the birth of religion is strongly supported by various star cities.
In the beginning, religion was just an organization to help people relieve stress. However, with more and more believers, religious organizations became more and more standardized, larger and larger, and with sufficient funds, they established their own In the beginning, it was just a charity school. However, due to the strength of the teachers, it gradually became various famous colleges. These colleges have cultivated countless outstanding students, and these outstanding students are quite Some have become the backbone of society.
Due to a high degree of autonomy, each star city is almost all operated by itself. Each city owner is also a planet owner. They have a high degree of management power over their own planet. , under the Codex, each planet has its own rules.
Each star city-state is an independent country, everyone has a high degree of freedom, and there is no unified leader. The star city state master meeting held once every few years is the most important joint meeting between the star cities. The future plan of all mankind lies in this discussed in the meeting.
However, with the development of religion, a very wonderful thing happened:
In the case of Star City State's high degree of self-control and division and independence, religious organizations have gradually gathered together, the total number of religions has decreased, and the number of believers has increased. These believers have been classified into a limited number of large religious systems , and today, the number of mega-religions is still dwindling.
A new system with a large scale, strict probability, and standardized organization gradually took shape.
Their believers are all over the star cities, and their organizations are also all over the star cities. There are small interactions between believers almost every week, and there are large-scale activities in star cities every month. There is almost no interference between other star cities. Now, this huge organization has deeply penetrated into the lives of ordinary people, and the flat organizational structure allows their teachings to be delivered to every believer as quickly as possible.
With a compassionate savior attitude, they grow softly in the eternal tower.
In the 320th year of the Chaos Calendar, there were only two religions left in the tower.
It is just two branches of the same religion due to different teachings and different ideas.
The East Hengguang Sect, the West Hengguang Sect, and the Star City-State Alliance that had existed for many years have become the largest human organizations in Sky City.
However, at this time, whether it is the East Hengguang Sect or the West Hengguang Sect, they are still religious organizations in essence. Due to the expansion of their power, their power is indeed growing, and the power they possess is indeed for them in the secular world. They have obtained something that belongs to them, but they have not really extended their tentacles into the worldly struggle for power.
At the same time, the Star City Alliance finally realized the situation that this kind of power would continue to cause, and they began to jointly suppress the continued expansion of religious organizations.
The Hengguang Cult, which was once huge, was even oppressed to the point where it was almost disbanded.
Until that man appeared.
Ash Xivi Messertal.
This taciturn boy was almost born "to defend the last glory of God in the human world".
He is smart, simple, temperate, and almost all good adjectives can be installed on him.
He is naturally aloof, and almost anyone who comes into contact with him will feel a sense of distance.
It's not a sense of distance between people, but more like a sense of distance between people and gods - many believers who have come into contact with him have expressed such excitement.
No one knows where he came from. He has no father and no mother. He grew up alone in a foster home under the protection of a religion, and then he entered a religious academy naturally. Knowledgeable and smart, easily admitted
The highest college under the church's management - Yelevania College.
Because he was so good, he was included in his camp by Cardinal De Baron before graduation. As his right-hand man, he made great contributions to the development of Dongheng Guangjiao. After his death, he took over all his power and the huge camp behind him at a young age!
In the 369th year of the Chaos Calendar, Ash Xivi Messertal accomplished what his mentor, his predecessor, and De Baron failed to accomplish:
In the meeting of cardinals of Donghengguang Sect, he was unanimously approved and elected as the bishop of Donghengguang Sect!
Without any titles, Dongheng Guangjiao can have countless prefixes to represent archbishops of various positions, but there can only be one person who can be called a bishop.
In the 379th year of the Chaos Calendar, Ashishvi Messertar once again created a miracle.
In the joint archbishop conference jointly held by East and West Hengguang Sects, he was elected as the common bishop of the two branch sects!
Elected unanimously again!
And this time, he really did a great thing that has never been done before: unifying the two religions that have been divided for a long time! He also became the bishop of two religions!
This has never happened, so that people feel that the title "bishop" cannot express the supremacy of this position at all!
So——
In the 380th year of the Chaos Calendar, Ashishvi Messertar became the "Pope".
There is no previous pope, he crowned himself.
After that day, people officially called him "Your Majesty".
In this era, there is only one "Your Majesty".
