Chapter 1982: The Supremacy of Theocracy

As early as several hundred years ago, the Pope used his own power to build such a tall tower.

Moreover, at that time, over a thousand believers took turns guarding here, all to prevent the Dark Creatures inside from coming out to stir up trouble.

However, as hundreds of years have passed, although the tower body is mottled and dilapidated, one can still vaguely see the magnificent feat from hundreds of years ago.

"I have to admit, your Pope's power is indeed formidable," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "This building, not to mention hundreds of years ago, even if placed in the present, is a massive project."

"It is indeed impressive that the Pope could gather such great power to build such a tower back then."

"As early as several hundred years ago, Theocracy was greater than imperial power," Xueli said, "So the Pope at that time could be said to have had a hundred responses to a single call."

"But it was precisely this terrifying cohesion that caused those in power to develop a deep fear; from then on, they began to subconsciously control the Pope."

"Unfortunately, by that time they could no longer control it, so they only had the path of suppression," Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Your Pope's power also began to go downhill from that time, right?"

"Yes, after that we no longer used Theocracy to restrict the world, all to put those in power at ease; if imperial power and Theocracy were to clash, the consequences would be very serious."

Xueli said, "And these were not the Initial Embrace of our Pope's founding, so we only had to concede, and thus the current situation was formed."

"Not bad, although your Pope has never lacked internal strife, your decision-makers' Initial Embrace is still quite good," Chen Yu smiled.

"Yes, because we have faith," Xueli said earnestly, "It is precisely because we have faith that we have been able to exist from ancient times to the present."

"Very good, let's go over now; it's getting late, and I don't think this place will be very good at night," Chen Yu looked at the surroundings.

The sunlight could only reach a small part of the beach, and in the distance, the area of darkness where no light could be seen was the Endless Coast.

This place has too much yin energy; if the sun were to set completely, it would be a paradise for countless Dark Creatures.

Not to mention whether these Dark Creatures are powerful or not, Chen Yu felt that no matter what, he should avoid them first, not engage them head-on, and wait until he figures out the situation here.

"Let's go, I have already contacted Qieke fu who is guarding here," Xueli said, "He is already waiting for us."

The two hurried forward and soon arrived at the bottom of the Watchtower.

Seen from up close, the impact of this tall tower was even more intense, with its towering body reaching straight into the clouds.

And above, there was a dark, oppressive mass of clouds, with lightning flashing within them.

And the top of this tower is where the guardians stay; I don't know what kind of scene it is in the clouds where they are, but just looking from here, the impact on people is still quite large.

"How do we get in?" Chen Yu looked at the tower body and found that there was no entrance here, let alone stairs or anything; if one wants to walk in from here, one would have to fly in.

Of course, flying up is not a difficult task for Chen Yu; the difficulty lies in the dark clouds above, which are full of Restrictions. It's not that Chen Yu can't go up, but it would require paying some price.

"I will go summon Qieke fu," Xueli smiled slightly; the feeling Chen Yu gave her was that he was omnipotent.

And along this journey, almost nothing could stump him, but this time, Chen Yu had to take the initiative to ask her.

"How to summon?" Chen Yu asked.

"Don't be impatient, I'm starting now," Xueli slowly closed her eyes and then muttered to herself, "Qieke fu, can you hear my call?"

The moment she closed her eyes, Chen Yu finally understood what her so-called summoning was about.

Mental summoning; there is a Mental Power summoning medium on the tower, and as long as one knows mental summoning, one can call the other party from below.

Following her call, someone soon responded from above, and a surprised voice came: "It's the Saintess, our Saintess has come to take us home."

This voice was extremely joyful, and the people above seemed to be boiling over.

It is understandable; this place of theirs is almost a forgotten place, and it has been at least thirty years since the Pope's side sent supplies or people over.

Now that someone has come, and this person is Xueli, the Saintess of the Pope, how could they not be happy?

"Qieke fu, I have brought important instructions from the Pope, please open the door and let me in; this is my friend Chen Yu," Xueli said, "He came here also to help us solve some matters within the Pope."

"Okay Xueli, please wait a moment," Qieke fu replied, and immediately after, a portal appeared out of thin air.

"Let's go in, this is an image door formed by a Teleportation Stone; we can reach the top of the tower directly after we go in," Xueli turned her head to look at Chen Yu.

"Okay," Chen Yu nodded, and then walked into the portal with Xueli; following a flash of light, when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the clouds.

The top of the Watchtower is above the dark clouds, and from here, through the quartz glass, one can see a dark mass of clouds in front.

And in the black dark clouds, the sound of Thunderclap was faintly transmitted over, and endless lightning swirled and intertwined in the black clouds, as if they were electric snakes swimming inside, making one's heart tremble with fear.

Chen Yu was somewhat shocked, because he could see that the height of this tower was very high, and he only then realized that the Pope's power hundreds of years ago was truly terrifying.

"My Lord, have you finally heard our call? Did you send the Saintess to take us home?" A white-haired old man looked extremely excited.

He was Qieke fu, and with him were six other Pope believers, and these believers, without exception, were all white-haired existences.

"You are Qieke fu?" Xueli looked at the old man in front of her, somewhat surprised.

It was her first time seeing Qieke fu, and regarding this group of old people that the Pope had placed here to guard the Watchtower thirty years ago, she had also heard about them from the previous Saintess before.

But when she saw this group of old people who were nearly a hundred years old, her expression was still very shocked.

The Pope, it seems, had not sent anyone to this place for a long time.

Because of internal strife, and because of some disagreements regarding Dark Creatures, this group of people here was almost forgotten.

No one rotated shifts, there were no supplies, and no one even thought of this place; this place was more like an abandoned place, but these people had been holding on to the faith in their hearts, and not one of them retreated.

But this place originally had hundreds of believers, yet now, there were only seven of them left.
