Chapter 881: I Create a Mystery Sect for the Sect Master
Quinn looked at Qian Chen. He knew too little about the mystery world, and for everything Gable said, he only had a vague concept.
But the Papal States of the Western Continent were indeed dissolute and corrupt after the Fourth Epoch.
Bishops and Popes indulged in little boys, little girls, and messing around with nuns, and illegitimate children and lovers walked openly in the Holy City.
Even cardinals passed the position of Pope to their illegitimate children.
These big figures were so indulgent in carnal desires, yet constantly emphasized the fallen nature of the flesh and Original Sin in their preaching, calling on people to return to the territory of the sacred spirit, the Savior's City of the Lamp Father in the Spirit Realm!
It was precisely because the Holy Church was so corrupt that new Protestants and Puritans who worshipped the Savior constantly went to the New World, eventually establishing the Federation.
Qian Chen patted the *Book of Lampfire* in his hand. Its predecessor, the *Book of the Blood Cup*, could not be called a proper classic.
"So you pursue the blood of Original Sin, turning into vampires who feed on human blood, werewolves who eat human flesh, evil spirits who suck human souls, or demons who buy and sell human spirituality as gems?"
Gable hurriedly said: "That is the evil and fallen Blood Cup Church. They are dominated by Original Sin and have fallen into dark creatures. They are not worthy of being compared with the Original Sin Sect!"
"The *Book of the Blood Cup* is the secret transmission of the Blood Cup Church. During the Third Epoch, the Spiritualist Society had a deep understanding of the study of the spirit and the sacred path. We discovered the Savior's lies and the illusion of the Spirit Realm! A part turned to pursue reality, but... reality is too terrifying! Many people would rather throw themselves back into illusion than face that terrifying reality that destroys everything."
Qian Chen understood him; after all, 'reality' was something he had created himself.
The three Dao Fruits that created this world—the True Illusion Dao Fruit, the Creation Dao Fruit, and the Destruction Dao Fruit.
The True Illusion Dao Fruit created the Spirit Realm. Because of its essence, necessarily only the true spirit is real.
But returning to the true spirit means returning to Qian Chen. Qian Chen did not want them to do so, and normal people would not have any expectations for returning to the 'Heavenly Dao' without consciousness or emotion, in a blank state.
So Qian Chen had never thought that anyone would walk the path of spiritual sublimation.
But the Savior was an accident. He didn't know how he got close to Qian Chen, but stopped beside him. Then he created the Holy Church, which had huge influence in the present world, deceiving people that 'spiritual ascension' had reached his side, merging into one with him.
At the same time, the Holy Church was constantly collecting potions born from the fantasies of all living beings from the Spirit Realm. Originally, according to Qian Chen's plan, they needed to be tempered by destruction, washing away the illusory path, turning into reality, and then piecing together the Dao Fruit.
But the Savior did the opposite, using the sublimation of human spirituality to engrave these paths into spirituality, and then spirituality reversed up to the Spirit Realm. When it got close to the true spirit, what it carried naturally was the path close to reality.
Piecing together his Dao Fruit in this way, he prepared to usurp Qian Chen's position and swallow Qian Chen in one bite.
Gable emphasized: "The original Original Sin Sect just felt that there was no hope of ascending to the Spirit Realm, so it was better to stay in the present world as a complete person—this is also the fifth stage of the current path of cultivation."
"The Original Sin Sect believes that humans are composed of flesh and spirituality."
"When a complete person's spirituality sublimates, the flesh should also completely transform, becoming a true, flawless, perfect person!"
"The 'reality' representing the flesh is that blood of Original Sin!"
"In this way, our spirituality will neither go deep into the Spirit Realm and be stripped of emotions and consciousness, nor will it fall because of Original Sin. We studied the blood of Original Sin of dark creatures, further analyzed the Blood Cup ritual of the Cup Mother, and then discovered that the Cup Mother is the greatest of the three gods of the orthodox church. The Lamp Father is rational and strict, not allowing us to retain emotions. His spirituality is pure and sacred, not allowing the slightest impurity."
"The Mirror Master is neutral and objective, constructing a world that cannot be influenced by any subjective ritual."
"Only the Cup Mother is compassionate and inclusive! The formation of dark creatures is not the Cup Mother's evil, but her compassion. These existences indulge in extreme sin, which leads to them turning into monsters. The truly perfect Original Sin is the human being themselves!"
"Humans are the Cup Mother's greatest creation, and all things are our servants..."
For the fanatical Gable, Qian Chen sighed helplessly—the Cup Mother doesn't care about your life or death; she just can't tolerate that humans were not created by her.
"So, the Original Sin Sect analyzed the blood of Original Sin of dark creatures, differentiated their extreme sins from the blood, and clarified the seven major categories of Original Sin: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust."
"We improved the Blood Cup ritual, changing it from the promiscuity of men and women to the method of holding the blood of the cup and refining blood potions."
"At that time, the Original Sin Church did indeed go to extremes. Many dark creatures joined in, and they despised everything. The initial researchers also indulged in the broad and inclusive 'blood of Original Sin', forgetting that Original Sin was originally a path to balance spirituality..."
"Gradually, their research on Original Sin reached its limit, and they began to worship the 'Mother of the Blood Cup'. They believed she was the only incarnation that could represent the Cup Mother!"
"The *Book of the Blood Cup* was written as a result."
"A large number of human nobles and transcendents turned into dark creatures, and they established the Blood Cup Papal States, opposing the Holy Church. In the Third Epoch, they set off a dark tide that swept across the entire Western Continent. Because the divine arts of the Holy Church originated from the Spirit Realm and were essentially false, they were completely powerless to resist. A large number of humans were slaughtered and eaten. That was an incomparably dark history!"
"Some rational people in the Original Sin Church discovered the 'Blood Cup' was out of control. They turned to cooperate with the Holy Church, transforming the transcendents and knights of the Holy Church into 'Baptized' using the blood of Original Sin, allowing them to possess flesh as powerful as dark creatures."
"And the powerful spirituality of the original transcendents of the Holy Church could ensure they did not lose control. The path of spirituality and the path of Original Sin merged into one, becoming more powerful than dark creatures. The Religious Inquisition, Holy Knights, and Witch Hunters that possessed holy light and divine arts to restrain them were born. That part of the Original Sin Church also merged into the Holy Church, becoming the Original Sin Sect of the Holy Church!"
"We hunted dark creatures for several centuries before finally, together with transcendents of other paths of humanity: wizards, witches, elves, etc., we destroyed the Blood Cup Papal States."
"The dark creatures of the Path of the Blood Cup could only hide in the darkness from then on."
"At that time, the Spiritualist Society was simply an organization under the Original Sin Sect. We were the orthodoxy of the Spiritualist Society."
"We combined the Seven Deadly Sins into the true 'Blood of Original Sin', the 'Blood of Perfection'. We created the paths of 'Baptized', 'Transformed', and 'Complete Person'. But after obtaining the Path of Original Sin, the Holy Papal States betrayed us. They united with the Holy Knights, declared the 'Original Sin Sect' a heresy, and then launched a massacre against all transcendents and scholars of the Original Sin Sect, while also cruelly persecuting wizards, witches, and other heterodox transcendents!"
Gable said this, hating it so much that his teeth itched, and he gnashed his teeth, making a creaking sound.
It could be seen that he strongly identified with the narrative of the Original Sin Sect. Unlike Elijah, who had no faith, he could be considered a die-hard member of the Original Sin cult.
But what Qian Chen liked was die-hard members!
Qian Chen just indifferently evaluated the Original Sin Sect with: "Self-inflicted, cannot live!"
Gable excitedly retorted: "You, a person from the Eastern Continent, don't understand at all. The path of transcendence was created by our Original Sin Sect. Without us, humans would just be food for dark creatures, just playthings fooled by the Holy Church, with their souls handed over to the Savior!"
Qian Chen said calmly: "Before your Original Sin Church, dark creatures didn't become much of a climate, right?"
Gable was slightly stunned: "At that time, it was too difficult for them to reproduce..."
"There is no Holy Church in the East, and we don't believe in the Savior, and our souls won't become any playthings!" Qian Chen coldly concluded: "You have saved the world, but that was also trouble you caused yourselves. You clean up the trouble you caused yourselves; it can only be said that you have a beginning and an end. What kind of merit is that to humanity? Are we in the Eastern Continent not human?"
"The mystery sects there only pursue ascension to become immortals. Everyone is very peaceful, and there is no problem at all. How come when it gets to you, it becomes ten houses empty and the people have no livelihood?"
Gable was speechless for a moment, but Quinn somewhat identified with Gable.
After all, the New World and the Western Continent came from the same source. Only they themselves could empathize with the influence of the Original Sin Sect on the history and culture of the Western Continent.
"So, how do you plan to control us?" Qian Chen asked gently: "And what do you plan to do after controlling us?"
Gable rushed to answer: "The Flower of Purity can defend against the pollution of the Path of the Blood Cup, so I planned to trick you into selling the Flower of Purity, and then hand the *Book of the Blood Cup* to you, letting you be attracted and polluted by the secrets, giving birth to a hunger for knowledge, and then through the Original Sin secret ritual, let you initially feel reality. In this way, you would naturally know the hypocrisy and deception of the Holy Church and join our Original Sin Church!"
"Okay, we'll join!" Qian Chen closed the book, and Quinn was shocked and dumbfounded.
And Gable was also caught off guard, and Elijah's eyes widened, her whole person stunned.
Quinn tugged at Qian Chen's sleeve, preparing to remind him not to represent himself casually.
Qian Chen asked: "So are you joining or not?"
Quinn hesitated. Originally, he certainly didn't intend to join the 'evil heresy', but the Original Sin Sect had too good a foundation, had been glorious, was the founder of Western transcendence, had been recognized by the Holy Church, and the theory was very profound and interesting. Finally... the style was too high!
If it weren't for being down and out now, it wouldn't be Quinn's turn to join.
This kind of secret society with a long history was really to the taste of this mystery lover!
Moreover, the doctrine of the Original Sin Sect didn't seem too evil.
Qian Chen didn't look at him either, and introduced himself to the three: "I am not talented, I am the Young Sect Master of the Xuanzhen Sect of the Eastern Mystery Sect. Because my father passed away and some rebels in the sect caused trouble, I had to study in the Western Continent. My dream is to revive the Xuanzhen Sect, spread the doctrine, and create a big mystery sect organization."
"Since the Original Sin Sect has been lost to this extent, why not let me accept it and reform it!"
Gable and Elijah looked at each other: "It's broken, we recruited a real cult leader!"
Quinn was instantly dumbfounded: "My good brother is actually a cult leader, and his dream is to create his own church? So, should I join or not?"
Gable stiffened his neck and said: "Heretic, don't you think about swallowing our Original Sin Sect..."
"Your philosophy is outdated!" Qian Chen said unceremoniously: "I am the orthodoxy of the Bright Venerable... Bright Venerable is the divine title of the Lamp Father you worship in the East! If you want to oppose, don't be in a hurry... Before I dismember you and refine you into blood potion, listen to the philosophy and doctrine of the Xuanzhen Sect and me!"
"The First Hour is the 'Bright Venerable', it is your Lamp Father, the source of all spirituality and light."
"The Twelfth Hour is the 'Xuan Lord', it is also the Great Darkness, the Corpse of Reality, the Lord of Destruction, the belonging of all reality and darkness!"
"And the Bright Venerable and the Xuan Lord are originally one!"
"They are the lords of falsehood and reality, the source of spirituality and destruction, and also the creator gods who created this world!"
"This is the Two-Faced Lord and the Venerable of Two Phases worshipped by our Xuanzhen Sect." ===== CHAPTER 882 =====
