C176 Memories
After leaving the desert, Qingtian's priority now was to tell Pope Jing about the clues, so he took Su Fei'er back to Light Vatican. Bringing along this shocking secret, Atlas quickly arrived in front of the Pope.
Seeing that Su Fei'er was safe and sound, the Pope smiled knowingly. He had seen this girl since she was young. His father, the cardinal who had died in battle, he was the youngest bishop of the Church at that time, and also the candidate who had the highest chance of becoming the next Pope. At the same time, he had a very good relationship with him, and often gave him some pointers. It could be said that he had long regarded Sophie as his own daughter.
When he found out that Sophie was also cursed, the Pope was extremely anxious. But this kind of illness was not something he could cure, so he secretly observed the young talents that were worth nurturing on the Continental Paper. This way, he would be able to live up to his dead friend, and Atlas would naturally become his first target.
When Qingtian revealed his identity as Devil Swordsman to others, he immediately received the attention of everyone in the continent. The Pope was also secretly observing him. When he learned that Qingtian was both wise and brave, and led the Art army to defeat Zhihua of Menes, the Pope was even more excited. From then on, he would often talk about how Ashlow was, whether intentionally or not, by Sophie's side. This made the mysterious and powerful Devil Swordsman of saintess's team very curious.
However, when he received the news that Qingtian had gone missing, he began to feel anxious. However, not long after, this mysterious kid actually returned with three Ninth Grade devil pet. This made him very curious.
In the few battles that he had returned to, Qingtian had slaughtered so many soldiers. It was reasonable for the Holy Church to step in to relieve the tension. Moreover, it was almost time for saintess to get sick. However, he did not expect that Qingtian would be so powerful that he did not need to use much strength to fight with him.
Furthermore, according to his past personality, he would definitely not watch Sophie die in front of him. Just like that, the Pope made a decision that almost changed the entire history of the continent.
Feeling the power of the heavens, the Pope took out a map that the previous Pope gave him. He still remembered the scene when the former Pope Osman the Seventh gave it to him before his death: "Charlie, now I will give you this map. Perhaps you have heard of that demon before. It was because of that great battle that our Light Vatican's vitality was greatly damaged. Therefore, I will now hand it over to you. I hope you understand the importance of it."
As he spoke, Osman VII took out the scroll from his body with great difficulty. He handed it over to Osman while trembling. At that time, Charlie, who was still a cardinal, had never thought that the Pope would give him such an important thing, and there were still things that surprised him even more.
At this time, Osman VII actually took off his Holy Crown. He slowly put it on top of his head in front of everyone. At this moment, no one dared to breathe loudly. This was the replacement of the Pope! In history, every Pope had to find a competent bishop to replace him before he died. Of course, the most promising bishop had already died in battle, so this honor fell on Charlie the Fifth.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the Pope's action, Charlie the Fifth shouted. Because only when the Pope felt that his body could no longer sustain his life, could he hand over the Crown of Holy Light to someone else. Osman's actions were too obvious, which indicated that Pope was about to pass away.
Holding Charlie the Fifth's hand tightly, Osman leaned closer to his ear and said, "Remember, the demons here are sealed at the cost of their lives by the four Cardinals. I once gave you the method to unseal it, but it's best not to get close to him. It's best not to use this method ever. But you still have to pass it down, if one day a powerful human appears. Someone strong enough to not even care about the Divine Level Pope, you have to do everything you can to keep him here. Hand the map over to him and let him help us get rid of this devil!" After saying that, he violently coughed a few times, and his face became even paler. It was as if he was going to fall down at any moment.
After resting for a while, Osman said with all his might, "I'm going to return to the embrace of the God of Light. I'm very happy. I've been doing my best to serve the world for the rest of my life. Although I didn't completely destroy him during the crisis of the continent, I still sealed him. The continent had temporarily maintained peace. I feel that my life is worthy of the protection and favor of the God of Light. Charlie, remember, as a Pope, you are no different from an ordinary person. Don't think that you have any sense of superiority just because of this. On the contrary, you need to save every citizen under the sun even more humbly. You, you have to, you have to be a qualified one... A qualified Pope." As he spoke, Osman stopped breathing.
"Pope!" All the members of the Light Vatican fell to the ground and cried, silently chanting the teachings of the Great Ceremony of Light. Charlie the Fifth also deeply remembered the Pope's words. In the next hundred years, he handled matters carefully, and everything took pity on the world as the first priority. It could be said that he was a good Pope worthy of his name.
After a long time, the Pope, who had been immersed in his memories, finally turned around. He smiled apologetically to Ashlow. "Your news is too shocking. If there really is such a race... That is too terrifying! Although I don't know how far that scene is, judging from the current situation, you might be the only one in the entire continent who can defeat him. But from his mouth, he heard someone even stronger than him. If that was really the case... The continent is probably going to suffer."
"That's right, that's why I want the Church to be prepared. I will contact the experts of the continent as soon as possible. At that time, the experts of the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan will arrive. Also, from Jing De's words, I know that other than him, there are also experts from the ___ and the ___ in our continent. There is another person who has come here. According to him, being sent here is definitely not an ordinary person. So, the most important thing right now is to find that mysterious person!"
" There's actually such a thing, but if he comes from the same place as that Jing... Then... Why haven't I heard of such a person? " The Pope was also very puzzled. Indeed, back then, when Jing appeared, he challenged all the experts on the continent. Those so-called experts did not return to his hands for their entire lives, which was why the Church had no choice but to punish him. In the end, he discovered that this fellow was not someone he could defeat at all. That was why they used this strategy to seal him.
"No matter what, we have to plan for the worst-case scenario. Only by making sufficient preparations will we be able to gain the upper hand in the upcoming battle" Tian Qingtian had already made up his mind. With his current strength... In addition, Lu Yuan was behind him. He was confident that he could survive this crisis.
