Capítulo 1528: Chapter 275: Do You Support My Rule Over the World?
Ian gained a deeper understanding of the essence of dragons and Star Gods; he knew that these beings indeed ca from a super civilization far beyond Terra, and their standards could not even be realized through human logic, but this was humanity’s problem, not theirs.
Nonetheless, it is humans who ultimately live on Terra.
[Humans have actually received a lot of assistance and privileges from us]
Although Ian himself did not have any feelings of anger or disappointnt, the Galewind Dragon King still spoke to comfort him: [You are the native inhabitants of this planet, you have received technologies from us and so Star Gods. When other Alien Gods forcibly invaded, violating agreents, we intervened]
[We’ve exerted effort for humans to continue]
[Yet now, it’s you humans using demonic technology; we truly have no reason to intervene]
“What about the Four Great Orthodox Churches?”
Ian asked: “Surely, they don’t have as many restrictions?”
[Ian]
The True Fla Dragon King spoke this ti with gravity: [You might have developed a misconception, thinking that the Four Great Orthodox Churches necessarily have a reason to protect humans]
[Why are humans always so arrogant?] The grand Dragon King even sighed at this mont: [The Four Great Orthodox Churches are under no obligation to take care of present humans. They act based on morality—not because they need humans to worship their Dao, but because humans yearn for their conduct and thus follow their Dao]
[For a thousand years, what they have given to humanity is far more than what humans have given to them]
“Aren’t the Four Great Orthodox Churches part of humanity?”
Although the True Fla Dragon King simply made a remark, Ian sharply grasped the underlying implication behind his words: “Or are they independent of human society? Is this why they are the Four Great Orthodox Churches?”
Due to the rapid developnt of the Supre Spirit Sect recently, Ian also gleaned a lot of information about the Holy Mountain from the trio of Yingguang, Glorious Sword, and Redemption Light.
Furthermore, he comprehensively understood the status of the Four Great Orthodox Churches within human society.
Embrace Light initially originated during a Lost Epoch, during a major war, likely an aid organization that erged during warfare against Alien Gods. Their leaders were a pair of twins, both prophets; the cult leaders of Gemini guided the sect to grow, supporting refuges frequently destroyed by disasters.
To this day, Embrace Light still rushes to prevent catastrophes, doing the sa work as they did millennia ago, with no change.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits ca slightly later; its origin was the beast tide invasion on the Azure Sky Plains—under an assault of an army led by nurous Wise Magical Beasts, a child raised by wolves, who beca the first high priest of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, diated the disputes among the Ten Thousand Spirits. Thus, east of the Overarching Plains, nurous tribe states primarily of Magical Beasts arose, progenitors to today’s Nine Cold Quiet Mountains tribes, while westward, humans dominated the steppe of the Khanate.
Even now, within the Azure Sky Royal Court, there are many mbers of the Magical Beast Royal Court, and in the east of The Empire, there are figures like Governor Bai Ji the Frostwind Butterfly, and this is their influence.
The Spiritual Tool Church originated from a group of technicians who obtained the ‘Apocalypse’ technology from the civilization of the previous epoch. They seed to glimpse a terrifying ‘endga,’ thus devoted themselves to ‘Ascension’—they collaborated with the City of Knowledge, collecting lost technologies from relic clusters surrounding the Tranquil Sea, and most of the known Spirit Energy Jewelry manufacturing techniques were developed or researched or… reconstructed by them.
Even now, the Spiritual Tool Church and the City of Knowledge are synonymous with the best technology on Terra Continent.
The Retrospection Sect is even simpler—they are dedicated to finding the eternal world after death, believing that this is the true path. In order to organize the Domain of Void, they’ve repaired and created many Voidrealm Machine Gods, ensuring stability in the False Realm World, serving as the best partners for the Fae.
From this information, it is evident that the Four Great Orthodox Churches can indeed be called ‘guardians of humans’—though from the very beginning, these groups had essentially no connection to the human world.
[Not necessarily non-human]
At this mont, the Galewind Dragon King also spoke: [Have you noticed that the Four Great Orthodox Churches all uphold a kind of ‘civilizational attitude’?]
[Embrace Light stands for equality, mutual aid, selflessness, and dedication—those who cannot achieve this cannot beco one of them; this ti, they’re not intervening in na, yet Embrace Light’s Holy Knights will assist privately]
[The Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits treats all life equally, regardless of humans, Magical Beasts, natural essences, or artificial constructs like Voidrealm Machine Gods; as long as they possess intellect and soul, they regard them as brothers and sisters—those who cannot et this standard cannot join the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits]
[Rather than seeing the Spiritual Tool Church as striving to beco better humans through ascension, it is more about ascending to beco eternal tal machines. They don’t care about human society at all, only about technology]
[The Retrospection Sect is the simplest; they hope everyone dies, so that equality, union, hope, and respect can gather]
[Do you still think the Four Great Orthodox Churches need humans? Every one of them holds potential parallel to the current human society, and indeed, we believe they represent a better future…but there aren’t enough wise beings living up to their standards, thus they cannot beco the mainstream]
“I see…”
Ian understood sowhat in his heart.
The Four Great Orthodox Churches, if phrased in his terms, each hold the potential of a ‘Path of the Dao.’
The future they foresee and hope to reach aligns with Ian’s Path of the Dao, which can thoroughly transform all of Terra…and precisely because of this, the attitude of the Four Great Orthodox Churches toward human society is, in truth, similar to Ian’s.
