Chapter 848: Power of Seraph

In fact, the natives of this planet have already discovered aliens.

When satellites orbit around planets, their brightness is actually higher than that of ordinary stars.

Primitive civilizations already have stargazers and relatively professional astronomical tools.

Naturally, these suddenly appearing stars will attract their attention.

The eternal starry sky suddenly changed, and it is conceivable how strong a stimulus it is for the native stargazers.

Some stargazers call them the eyes of God, and some call them the stars of disaster. Anyway, there are schools of thought with various views.

At this time, the priests who represent the divine power ruled the earth.

So, grand sacrificial activities continued.

Fortunately, the suddenly appearing stars did not cause any disasters, and various neutral or even optimistic views began to become popular.

Everyone thought that they would hang in the sky forever like the previous stars. Perhaps similar situations had occurred before, but the previous observation methods were too low-level, so they were not recorded.

Therefore, the new stars gradually became the embodiment of the priests in the rulers' speeches and became the regular objects of sacrifice.

On this day, the sacrificial activities began normally.

The birth of new stars has become the merit of the high priest.

The unchanging starry sky has always been regarded as the territory of the gods.

Because of the great achievements of the high priest, the gods hung his spirit high in the starry sky, waiting for the high priest to enter after his death.

This is the official explanation, and it is also an explanation that caters to the high priest.

After all, he is very old, so old that he is about to die.

The bloody sacrifice began, and the high priest looked at the familiar scene expressionlessly.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of rust, which was the favorite drink of the gods.

The high priest Manhab was once the most devout believer of the gods, following the oldest belief in the sun god.

But as he approached the gods step by step, until he became the closest person to the gods in the world, his faith began to gradually disappear.

Distance... is the cause of the collapse of faith.

When his body began to age, he began to deny the past, just like now.

"If I am guilty, I hope God can judge me.

If I am innocent, why doesn't God favor his servants in the world?"

Manhab thought so in his heart, and he was no longer afraid of eternal judgment. If he could prove the existence of gods, then he would let himself be judged.

The reason why he so rashly incorporated the new stars into the belief system and began to hold sacrifices was also similar.

It was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw and trying desperately to grab it.

As for whether this was a symbol of gods or a temptation of the devil, he could accept it.

If there were no gods, then the devil would be fine.

As always, the sacrifice was carried out as usual, without any accidents.

As for the astronomical phenomena such as solar eclipses and meteors recorded in the classics, Manhab was not an ignorant slave, he had some natural science literacy.

Perhaps a thousand years later, he would be the spokesperson for images of ignorance, corruption, stereotypes and backwardness in history books, but in fact this one-sided impression itself is a prejudice.

In this era, Manhab is not only not ignorant, but also a rare scholar.

He is proficient in theology, religious history, natural sciences and even some humanities and social sciences. He is a true social elite and a representative figure of civilization.

As for why he does some seemingly ignorant behaviors, on the one hand, it is due to different concepts, and on the other hand, it is simply the need for ruling.

Therefore, all unreasonable, impossible and even logical behaviors of rulers actually have internal driving factors.

You can say that a ruler is bad, but you can't say that he is stupid.

Otherwise, how stupid would the ruled cattle and horses be to be ruled by a stupid person?

Manhab is a bad guy from a historical perspective, of course... if history evolves normally.

When the sacrifice was coming to an end, Manhab had stood up disappointedly.

As always, there was no feedback from the gods.

Even though he had experienced countless disappointments in his life, he couldn't help but raise hope every time.

Until... it was dark.

Is it a solar eclipse?

Manhab looked up at the sky and saw the outline of a human figure blocking the sun.

Shock, ecstasy, madness, but no fear.

Wow!

The figure in the sky spread its wings, and each feather emitted a golden-red light.

A stinging feeling came from the pupils, and almost everyone quickly lowered their heads.

But Manhab was different. He tried to open his eyes and wanted to see the appearance of God clearly.

This was a blasphemy, but the faith in his heart had never been so blazing.

It seemed that energy far beyond common sense burst out from the decaying body.

The extreme activity of the spirit even caught Derek's attention.

The same feeling came again.

That pseudo-omniscience made him feel this unique spiritual power.

Mixed with the faith of a civilization, carrying the spiritual concentration of the entire civilization, it broke out on the high priest Manhab and quickly anchored on Derek.

These unscientific abilities really exist.

The energy that was flowing rapidly seemed to stagnate suddenly.

Derek was surprised to find that the speed at which this incomplete version of the Seraph extracted extraordinary energy from the void suddenly increased.

Although he soon fell from that special state, Derek, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, still took some countermeasures.

"Mortal... I grant you the power of the Seraphim."

The fiery power burst out from the depths of his spirit, and Manhab's weak body quickly became strong in a way that violated the theorem of supernatural power, and quickly activated the supernatural power.

At the same time, the image of the Seraphim was imprinted in his spirit, and the supernatural power also transformed him in this direction.

For Manhab, he could not understand the so-called mecha.

But he could feel the existence of supernatural power and the image of the Holy Spirit left in his mind.

His intuition told him that if he continued to strengthen his divine power, he would be able to become the Holy Spirit.

He knelt on his knees, tears flowed from his eyes, and prayed devoutly: "God... forgive my blasphemy, I will shepherd the earth for you forever."

At this time, the God in his heart wanted to show more power, but was suddenly emptied by a sudden accident.

But Derek was not without gain, and the energy of the Seraphim seemed to have a tricky solution.

At present, this civilization is the best experimental field.

Of course, he didn't know about the mark that Seraphim had left in Manhab's spirit, nor did he know that it had opened up a different evolutionary path for Manhab.
