PDLP Chapter 178 Divine Decree! A Change in the Eastern Heavens!
Chapter 178 Divine Decree! A Change in the Eastern Heavens!
Deep beneath the Church of Holy Light lies a hidden space known as the Land of Sleep.
Since a thousand years ago, some powerful members of the Holy Light Church have chosen to slumber here.
In an era when spiritual energy was gradually depleting, they sealed themselves away, waiting for the day when spiritual energy would be restored, waiting for the moment when they would awaken again.
Thirty meters underground.
In a narrow passageway, an ever-burning lamp is lit every few meters, and the stone walls on both sides are covered with murals.
The angels brought good news.
Christ was baptized.
The Last Supper.
Jesus suffered.
They were resurrected and ascended to heaven.
Each painting was created by a master craftsman from a thousand years ago, and its colors remain vibrant despite the passage of time.
The Pope walked slowly, alone.
Footsteps echoed through the passageway, one after another.
It took about five minutes to walk.
A stone door appeared ahead.
The stone gate was engraved with intricate runes, which were ancient and mysterious, faintly emitting a light.
The Pope stopped in his tracks.
He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the stone door.
Crunch!
The stone gate slowly opened.
Behind the door was a small stone chamber.
In the center of the stone chamber, there is a stone couch.
An old man lay on the stone bed.
He wore an ancient white robe, his hair was as white as snow, his face was withered, and his skin was as dry as the bark of an old tree.
This is St. Ambrose.
The greatest saint of the Holy Light Church four hundred years ago.
At this moment, he had his eyes closed, and a faint light flowed around him.
The air in the stone chamber was filled with an ancient and vast atmosphere.
The aura was so powerful that even an S-rank powerhouse like the Pope felt his soul tremble.
The Pope walked to the stone couch and bowed slightly.
"Saint Ambrose".
His voice was filled with reverence: "The church is facing confusion, and we earnestly request your guidance."
The stone chamber was silent for a few seconds.
Then, a voice that sounded ancient, as if it came from a distant past, rang out.
"Your Majesty is too kind."
On the stone bed, Saint Ambrose had already opened his eyes.
Those eyes were cloudy, yet so deep they seemed to see through everything.
He just looked at the Pope, his gaze calm.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The Pope dared not delay and quickly recounted all the recent events in detail.
From the blood sacrifice in Southeast Asia to the divine manifestation of the golden-armored general.
From the moment the sword was drawn from Kunlun to the day the cherry blossoms were expelled from the country.
From the auspicious seven-colored clouds in Luxian County to the appearance of the Two Immortals of Harmony and Union in worship.
One by one, case by case.
St. Ambrose listened quietly.
His face was expressionless.
He didn't speak until the Pope had finished.
"East……"
he murmured.
"Great Xia..."
Then, he fell silent.
a long time.
The Pope stood there, not daring to utter a sound.
Finally, St. Ambrose spoke again.
"Before I fell into slumber, I received a divine oracle."
The Pope perked up and immediately perked up his ears.
The oracle said: The East has undergone a celestial upheaval and has become a desolate land.
"After the great calamity, glory will ultimately belong to our Lord."
St. Ambrose paused.
"But given the current situation..."
He didn't continue.
But the Pope understood the meaning.
The oracle said that the East had become a forgotten land.
But now, the Great Xia is excessively strong in the new era.
First came the golden-armored divine general, then the sword that stripped the people of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom of their citizenship, and then the two immortals of harmony and union appeared and kowtowed in worship.
Is this an abandoned land?
Is this what it looks like when it's been abandoned?
St. Ambrose's brow furrowed slightly.
He couldn't figure it out either.
Oracles never make mistakes.
But the facts before our eyes are clearly laid out before us.
"His Majesty."
He looked at the Pope.
"Continue with the previous strategy."
The Pope was taken aback.
"St. Ambrose, you mean...?"
"Play along with Great Xia," Saint Ambrose said slowly. "Don't provoke them, don't provoke them."
"Wait for the right opportunity."
The Pope asked respectfully, "Waiting for what opportunity?"
St. Ambrose closed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he opened his eyes.
"According to my calculations, after the third wave of spiritual tides erupts, angels will gradually awaken and descend."
"At that time, everything will become clear."
Angel.
These two words made the Pope's heart skip a beat.
That is the Lord's messenger.
The true spokesperson of God.
If angels could truly descend...
Then all the problems will be solved.
"Yes."
The Pope bowed his head deeply. "I understand."
Saint Ambrose said nothing more and closed his eyes again.
Silence returned to the stone chamber.
The Pope respectfully withdrew.
……
Inside the conference hall.
Fifteen cardinals were waiting anxiously.
Upon seeing the Pope return, everyone stood up.
"His Majesty!"
"What did St. Ambrose say?"
The Pope walked to the throne and sat down.
He looked around at everyone and slowly began to speak.
"Saint Ambrose said to continue to feign compliance with Great Britain and wait for the right opportunity."
"When the third wave of spiritual energy erupts, angels will descend."
Angel.
The moment those two words were uttered, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Angel……"
An old bishop murmured.
"The Lord's messenger..."
The other bishop was so excited that his hands were trembling.
"Once the angels descend, all problems will be solved!"
The Pope raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
"Now St. Ambrose's meaning is clear: we must continue to execute the established strategy without fail."
"yes!"
The cardinals responded in unison.
End of the meeting.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
The Pope sat alone in the conference hall, looking at a huge icon on the wall.
On the icon, Archangel Michael holds a longsword and stands on a dragon.
On the icon, Archangel Michael holds a longsword and stands on a dragon.
Majestic and sacred.
……
at the same time.
From Mount Olympus to the Silver Hall, from ancient Slavs to the land of the two rivers, from the banks of the Nile to Varanasi...
Similar to the dialogues within the Church of Holy Light, these take place in nations and organizations on Earth with profound and extraordinary foundations.
Everyone made a choice almost identical to that of the Church of Holy Light: to consolidate their power, observe, and extend goodwill, silently waiting for the opportune moment to arrive, except…
The New World and the Land of Cherry Blossoms!
……
Kyoto, the land of cherry blossoms.
The once bustling city is now desolate.
The streets were deserted, with only a few figures hurrying by occasionally, all with their heads down, not daring to look at the sky.
Since that day, the sky over the land of cherry blossoms has become a taboo, as if looking at it would bring misfortune.
Onmyo-ryo Headquarters.
Abe Shokichi sat in his office, with reports laid out in front of him.
The above is all bad news.
The domestic economy has completely collapsed.
The international community was completely blocked, and overseas Chinese were forcibly repatriated.
The public was gripped by panic.
People commit suicide every day.
Riots occur every day.
The entire country is on the verge of collapse.
As Abe Shōkichi looked at the reports, his fingers trembled.
He couldn't figure it out.
I really can't understand it.
Everything was clearly moving in a positive direction.
The Amaterasu Project was successfully implemented.
The selection of suitable candidates for the Shikigami caused a sensation.
Winning the world's most extraordinary event.
Everything was so beautiful.
then……
The sword has arrived.
Everything was ruined.
Abe Shokichi closed his eyes, recalling the spirited moment he spoke those words while standing on the arena platform that day.
"The future of the Land of Cherry Blossoms is infinitely bright!"
bright……
Ha ha.
The light did not come.
What's coming is utter annihilation.
Thank you to "怯魅_eE" for the 588 reward and to "鸡रर" for the 100 reward!
