Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

temple.

Today's temple is no longer what it used to be.

After thousands of years of development, the temple not only failed to rise, but also declined to the point where no one cared about it. However, no one expected that with the intervention of the coalition forces, the temple would once again appear in front of the world in the name of the Kingdom of God.

Cheering and jumping are no longer enough to describe the joyful mood of the people in the temple at this moment.

All the purple-robed and black-robed people had smiles on their faces. They were blessing each other and looking forward to each other - because the triennial promotion meeting was held today.

Unlike the shrine, which divides the people into three levels: believers, disciples, and disciples, the cumbersome promotion paths before the shrine have been simplified.

The current temple mainly has three levels: black-robed guards, purple-robed priests, and cardinals.

Even though the black-robed people joke with each other and call each other priests, before they become purple-robed, they are the lowest-level clergy and are not qualified to contact the divine arts.

Male, unmarried, and willing to remain single are the conditions for becoming a black robe.

The prerequisite is that you have faith in gods.

The conditions for becoming a purple robe are even more stringent, with an added age limit - you must join the black robe guards for more than five years, and be no more than twenty years old when promoted to purple robe. In other words, if a person wants to become a purple robe priest, he must join the temple

The age must be before fifteen years old.

The promotion of black robes to purple robes is mainly based on the votes of purple robed priests and red robed bishops.

The purple-robed priests each have one vote, the red-robed bishops have one vote representing ten votes, and the pope does not participate in the voting.

After becoming a purple robe, it will take three years to systematically study theology, and then another five years to learn theology. There will then be an exam. If the purple robe wants to be promoted to a red robe bishop, he must be over thirty-five years old.

.

The temple thousands of years ago had many branches on this continent. After becoming a purple robe, you would have your own territory to preach. However, with the decline of the temple, now not to mention the purple robe priests, even the cardinals do not have their own territory.

If a purple-robed priest wants to be promoted to a cardinal, there are two main ways: voting by the cardinals and appointment by the pope.

Regardless of whether you are in black robe or purple robe, if you want to be promoted, you must rely on a certain cardinal or pope.

Otherwise, no one will vote for you when you are promoted, so what if you are extremely intelligent?

Rights have always been based on human will since ancient times.

There are also situations where a black-robed person is directly promoted to the pope. In the thousands of years of history of the temple, this happened only once.

At that time, the saint of Pei State founded the country. The remnants of the previous dynasty came to Dahuangzhou to prepare for the founding of the country. The temple was defeated and fell apart. A black-robed guard obtained the divine power and was unbeatable in the magic competition, convincing everyone.

, directly promoted to the Pope.

But that was already five hundred years ago.

History is always surprisingly similar.

It’s just that now it’s Pei Guo who helps the temple to establish its country.

A red-robed bishop died not long ago. Now that the temple is about to be founded, there is an extreme shortage of manpower. Therefore, the promotion meeting is held half a year in advance, and the promotion time requirements are also relaxed, reducing one year.

It is said that after the promotion ceremony, the Pope will also conduct a global live broadcast.

Declaring the establishment of the Kingdom of God, it will also be given a name, just like Jingguo of the Shrine.

There will also be magical performances.

In the past, only people from the temple participated in the promotion ceremony. To make it more solemn, the Pope specially invited dignitaries from the Pei Kingdom and the Stardust Federation and the delegation from the temple to watch the ceremony.

In addition, there are some leaders of small sects.

At this moment, the red carpet is paving the way outside the temple hall, and the white-bearded bishop is constantly arranging the seats for the distinguished guests. They are sitting at the door of the temple, and under the steps is where the promotion ceremony is held.

Lu Fan hid his hands slightly in his sleeves and placed them in front of his lower abdomen, silently looking at the visiting distinguished guests.

The temple has not been so lively for a long time.

The matter was of great importance. A duke came from the Pei Kingdom, a vice president came from the Stardust Federation, and the second elder of the shrine was sitting not far away in a gorgeous red robe, with his eyes slightly closed as if he was recuperating.

The black-robed guards stood side by side in the distance, the purple robes were on both sides of the red carpet, and the Pope was slowly walking from a distance.

His empty right arm did not make him look embarrassed. On the contrary, at this moment, he was wearing a golden robe and his expression was solemn and solemn, and his aura was stronger than before.

People are in high spirits during happy events, and the Pope actually looks younger at this moment.

On this happy day, Lu Fan was a little preoccupied. The temple had previously reached an agreement with Pei State, and Lening City would be a branch of the temple to build a sacred tower. Lu Fan originally planned to go there.

He can use Lening as his missionary territory. Firstly, he can stay away from this barren desert, and secondly, he can be more free. He is the person with the greatest power in Lening. But now that the temple has been established, if he goes to Lening

Far away from the center of the theocracy, in another three to five years, when more red-robed bishops are promoted, he will soon be marginalized.

Should he live in a corner, or should he stay in the temple and wait for the next pope?

Chicken head and phoenix tail seem to be a multiple-choice question, but it actually requires a proposition.

Just like Bishop Whitebeard is actively chatting with the distinguished guests at this moment, he also wanted to go to Lening before, but I am afraid he has given up on this plan long ago.

Seeing the grand occasion in front of him, Lu Fan felt very uncomfortable, and more importantly, unwilling.

Holding a gold coin in his hand, Lu Fan thought about tossing the coin and decided. If the coin came up heads, he would go to Lening. If it came up tails, he would stay and leave everything to the God of Destiny.

Gold coins are tossed up, down, heads.

Looking at the answer from the God of Destiny, Lu Fan hesitated in his heart. He wanted to toss it again - when a person encounters a difficult decision and doesn't know his true thoughts, he can choose to toss the coin. When you want to toss again,

Once you do it, you know what you want.

Lu Fan wanted to stay.

He hesitated as he looked at the front of the gold coin.

At this moment, a man in purple robe hurried towards him and whispered something into his ear. Lu Fan was shocked when he heard what Zipao said, but then he looked at the Pope with a normal expression.

Jia Jiushan is here.

Three young men came with Jia Jiushan.

Xue Yue was carrying a package on his back, which looked like an umbrella, but his Huangquan knife was hidden inside. Zhuo Feng was holding a gorgeous umbrella in his hand, walking behind Jia Jiushan, covering Jia Jiushan from the sun like a dog leg.

Chu Huan still wore the mask of the god and walked at the end.

Zhuo Feng and Xue Yue both appeared before the Pope, and both wore human skin masks.

Jia Jiushan was wearing a red robe. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he looked at the Pope who was already sitting on the throne.

"Jia Jiushan may cause trouble if he comes at this time." Lu Fan came to the Pope's side and whispered.

"Since he's here, nothing good will happen." The Pope met Jia Jiushan's gaze and nodded slightly as a greeting, but Jia Jiushan didn't appreciate it. The black-robed guard leading the way walked a little slower, and he was

Kicked to the ground.

Jia Jiushan's actions aroused everyone's attention.

"For such a shameless person, I should have killed him twenty years ago!" The pope's face looked a little ugly, but he was aloof now and did not want to get angry on this festive day. He turned around and warned Lu Fan twice.

Fan takes orders and leaves.

Arriving in front of Jia Jiushan, Lu Fan said with a hidden smile: "Brother Jia's style is still the same, haha, but today is a special day, so I will stop chatting. If there is nothing else, where can Brother Jia go back and forth from?"

"Lu Fan, not much has changed since I haven't seen you for so many years..." Jia Jiushan said sarcastically: "Liu Pingsheng has long been used to being a dog to Qiu Fu, why, now you want to block my way too?"

A good dog stays out of the way.

Lu Fan's expression changed. He had never dared to speak to him like this in so many years.

Liu Pingsheng is the white-bearded bishop. In terms of strength, Lu Fan is not afraid of him. But from the moment he entered the temple, Liu Pingsheng became a disciple of the pope and sat in the position of the red-robed bishop. He naturally listened.

Words of the Pope.

Although Lu Fan was dissatisfied, he would not show it. Now Jia Jiushan said that he was the Pope's lackey... How could Lu Fan not be angry?

He took a step forward and held Jia Jiushan's hand. It seemed like they were chatting, but in reality they were competing. This was also the Pope's intention, telling Jia Jiushan not to be presumptuous.

Waves of electric current flowed down Lu Fan's hand towards Jia Jiushan. Jia Jiushan stared at Lu Fan with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. As he silently recited a spell, his right hand became hot. Lu Fan was naturally dissatisfied and he again

Using the power of controlling electricity, both of them looked shocked.

"Not bad." Jia Jiushan commented.

"It's okay." Lu Fan replied, and after saying that, he turned sideways and led Jia Jiushan to the empty seat in the corner.

Although Jia Jiushan was no longer in the temple, he was still a priest of the temple. The Pope asked Lu Fan to test his depth, and then arranged for Lu Fan to keep an eye on him to prevent Jia Jiushan from causing trouble in the upcoming ceremony.

It stands to reason that Jia Jiushan is the red-robed bishop of the temple and has an extraordinary status. He should sit next to the Pope, but he and the Pope are old enemies... What the Pope regrets most now is that he did not remove Jia Jiushan from the temple. Otherwise,

Jia Jiushan is not qualified to sit even if he comes today.

Jia Jiushan sat down and the second elder of the shrine looked over. It was the first time for the two to meet each other, but there were only so many cardinals on the mainland. They nodded to each other as a greeting.

After saying hello, the second elder's eyes fell on Zhuo Feng beside Jia Jiushan, hesitated for a moment, and looked away.

Zhuo Feng kept looking around, waiting for the second elder's eyes to leave, and glanced at the second elder who closed his eyes again to rest. A smile appeared on the corner of Zhuo Feng's mouth. He handed the umbrella in his hand to Xue Yue, and then said to Chu Huan: "Look

Are you here? The fat man in front of you, dressed in bright clothes and with a bright red face, is the Duke of Pei State, Meng Shenglong."

Needless to say, Chu Huan also knew this person Zhuo Feng. There were only three dukes in the country of Pei. When he was in Lening, he often saw the dukes attending various ceremonies.

In Chu Huan's impression, this man seemed to be a bit pushy, just like the idle princes in ancient times who loved to join in the fun.

Beside the Duke's feet, there lies a tiger with a hanging forehead and white eyes, looking at the mountains and looking extremely docile.

"That middle-aged man in a suit and tie with greasy hair who has to stop even a fly landing on it is the Vice President of the Federation, Kong Shansong."

Kong Shansong kept talking to the Duke, and his eyes looked here intentionally or unintentionally, but the focus was not on Chu Huan, but on the second elder of the shrine.

After the Shrine delegation arrived, they did not immediately contact the temple. They stayed stationed outside the city until today. Kong Shansong had been second-guessing the purpose of the Shrine delegation's trip.

After the establishment of the temple, the biggest competitor of the shrine appeared. It was not the shrine's style not to respond.

Otherwise, if the temple grows stronger over time, wouldn’t the temple be in danger of raising tigers?

More people's eyes fell on Chu Huan, wondering who the man wearing the god mask was, why he followed Jia Jiushan, and why he didn't show his true face.

It was just speculation, and no one stepped forward to find out, because the auspicious moment had arrived, and the promotion of the temple priests and the founding ceremony of the country had officially begun.

The Pope stood up, glanced at the audience, and then said:

"By God's blessing, the temple will last forever."

At this moment, the second elder of the shrine stood up.

Step by step he walked towards the Pope on the steps.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

All attention.

It caused everyone to talk about it.

What does he want to do?

As the white-bearded bishop waved, the footage being broadcast live around the world was temporarily interrupted.

Disputes begin.

——Is it unexpected? Is it surprising? It’s not on the shelves... I made a mistake... This is really a sad story... What should I do? I will write a second acceptance speech when the time comes? It’s unique! Everything is difficult at the beginning, and good things are hard to come by.

Well, it’s the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I wish everyone good luck——
