Derius was silent for a long time because of this answer.

Bourne looked at the clock again. When the time was up, he reached out and knocked on the table twice and said: "The time of shock is over."

After a pause,

Byrne continued: "In other words, the time for you to express your shock outwardly is over."

Delius licked his chapped lips, took a deep breath, and said, "Didn't you say that when you become a cult leader, you need to enter the messenger space and be instilled with the insights and memories of past cult leaders? I will not be myself, then...

Where is the religious leader?"

"You think the indoctrination is absolute loyalty to Palmires; but the actual indoctrination is absolute loyalty to order."

"..." Derius.

Bourne crossed his arms and smiled; "I have said that Order penetrated the Palmyres Cult much earlier than you expected. A long time ago, the first person to successfully infiltrate the Palmyres Cult reached the summit.

The lurker has already changed the inheritance ritual of the messenger space.

Therefore, over the years, although there have been many times when people who were not arranged by our Order of God have become religious leaders, after they completed their indoctrination in the messenger space, they... haha, became people of our order."

"This...how is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, because the space forging technology mastered by the Palmyres Cult is too important to our order, and we cannot allow the Palmyres Cult and the messenger space to fall into the hands of other orthodox churches.

And when the order sets its sights on a medium-sized church, it is normal if it cannot resist it, and it is abnormal if it can resist it.

I can tell you one more thing. The first successful lurker relied on the opportunity of the decline of light. At that time, the Pamireth Cult belonged to the light camp, just like their true god Pamireth finally switched sides.

It's like winning the last divine battle by going to the God of Light.

Because of the demise of the Light God Religion, the Palmyres Religion also suffered a serious blow at that time. Originally, there were at least two or three elders guarding the messenger space. However, during that period, the elders in the messenger space were involved in the light.

In the final struggle, they all fell.

Now, there should be only one elder in the messenger space, and you should know him."

"That elder...has been sleeping."

"Yes, do you know the reason for his slumber? He is a true genius, and the fragments of Palmires's godhead are condensed in his body, but he was indoctrinated when he became the Pope.

He should be very entangled and in pain. Being awake is more like a kind of torture for him, so he uses sleeping to exile himself."

"So, what does the Pamireth Cult count in the eyes of order?"

Bourne looked at his son, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I can understand that you are too emotionally disturbed right now, which is why you asked such an idiotic question."

With that said, Bourne stood up, walked out from behind the desk, came to Derius, and continued:

“In the church world, only large churches can maintain a certain degree of autonomy, but even they are restricted in many aspects. As for the medium-sized churches and smaller churches under the large churches.

Their existence is a kind of rich diversity, just like the green grass in the woods, making the surroundings of towering trees not too monotonous.

It seems that everything is beautiful, even the green grass is absorbing the rain and dew and enjoying the sunshine, but in fact, the grass around each big tree has already been determined.

When this big tree needs it, it can absorb all their nutrients in an instant.

The previous lush greenness, the kind swaying with the wind, do you think this is freedom and freshness?

It's nothing more than a little light and shadow leaking from the branches of the big trees, which happens to shine on them, but you really mistakenly think it is dignity?"

Bourne reached out and pinched his son's chin:

"This is the second time. You made me feel that what you said was stupid. I don't want it to happen a third time. Otherwise, I will discuss with your grandfather whether to choose you. When Palmires teaches you,

A generation of religious leaders."

"You could have told me everything in advance!"

"Then you lose the opportunity to practice and grow. Imagine being in a strange environment. You and them are different. You need to hide yourself and cover yourself in order to gain the possibility of survival. This kind of tempering is

No one else can ask for it.

The most important thing is the transformation of one's own beliefs, the painful choice, the desperate suffocation, I don't know how many nights I questioned myself and roared at my soul.

This is also an excellent form of shaping.

If I had told you in advance, all of this would have ceased to exist. This is an opportunity that cannot be purchased no matter how many coupons you spend."

"You...you just want me to change my faith?"

Derius suddenly realized something, because in the past 20 years of the Palmyres religion, and the first ten years, he had always stayed true to his original self and loyally believed in the order.

But as he continued to improve his position and began to enter the vision of the Pope, it was the kind and generous old man who brought him the warmth he had lost and opened up to him the true scenery of the Palmires Cult.

It was him who made him fall in love with Palmires. It was he who allowed himself to get out of the painful loss. It was he who allowed himself to firmly become the son of God of the Palmires religion and complete the separation from his past self.

But he is his grandfather... The most important thing is that the father in front of him seems to have a precise grasp of his heart.

"Yes." Bourne nodded and admitted, "For a long time, my teacher has been walking on the bright road."

Bourne began to pace in front of his son:

"What light likes is that when everything gathers around it, it will become dim, leaving only the blooming of light. But this is also the reason why light dies. It has to bear a heavy price for the eternal prosperity of its light.

Compared with taking excessive risks, the benefits gained by the Guangming Cult are not worth mentioning.

The path our order wants to take now is not annexation or integration, but as long as everything is under the rules of order operation, it can exist.

In the past two hundred years, the weakness of the Palmyres Cult has been very obvious, which has also led to a significant decline in the forging efficiency and even the forging ability of many high-level space holy weapons.

Order does not want to just get an empty shell or a huge warehouse filled with books and notes. The result of this annexation is that my teaching needs to spend energy internally to cultivate another Palmyres teaching...

The price is really too high, and the effect may be very poor.

so,

The Cult of Kosmos hopes to see a healthy development of the Palmyre Cult. We will no longer stifle and restrict the development of the top leaders of the Palmyre Cult. We only need to control one or two points to ensure that the Palmyre Cult will never deviate.

order."

Bourne bent down and looked at his son carefully:

"This is why we train you like this. You will not deviate from the order, but you also appreciate the scenery that Palmires brings to you. This is good. I believe that under your leadership, the Palmires Church will

It should be possible to stop the decline and regain its former glory.

And you don’t have to worry, suffer, or choose, right?

As God Palmires once said:

Although I hold the letter in my hand, what I enjoy is the scenery on the way to deliver the letter."

"Do I have any other choice?" Derius asked rhetorically.

"No."

"Okay, I choose to accept it."

"Yes, this is the feeling that my works should present, keep it up."

"When will the shackles on me be released?"

"Are you talking about what's happening now or what's happening in the future?

Now, I can have someone untie it for you right away. In the future, I'm sorry, but you will wear it for the rest of your life.

After this matter is over, your grandfather, the Master, will arrange a marriage for you.

your child,

My grandson or granddaughter,

Will take my place in the Cult of Kosmos."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Derius looked at his father and asked:

"I want to know how you felt when you were faced with this choice?"

"Is it when my father separates from me, or when my son separates from me?"

"It will be all right."

"I have cried, been angry, been wronged, and been numb. I have felt all the emotions you can imagine and those you can't yet imagine.

to the end,

I understand clearly,

This may be the fate of our family. From now on, our family will be destined to stand with one foot on the side of order and one foot on the side of Palmires.

Archbishop,

Religious Master,

They are all extremely lofty positions.

Think about it from another angle,

Do you think this is suffering?

I think this is the kind of arrangement and result that every father, grandfather, and elder would be most happy to see for their offspring, right?"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this question, Bourne opened his arms and laughed:
