Chapter 171 The Gem of the Soul
The moment Anakin closed his eyes, an unprecedented pain suddenly opened his golden eyes again! Visible to the naked eye, the area where half of his body was completely crystallized was emitting a dazzling blue light! Suddenly, Anakin felt for the first time that this extremely vast world seemed to come alive. He is moving his invisible mouth to absorb all the energy in his body! Light began to gradually overflow from the blue crystallized arms and chest.
A feeling of weakness that he hadn't tasted in decades began to eat away at Anakin's body and mind. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" Anakin let out a pitiful cry that resounded throughout heaven and earth. But no matter how painful it was, the passing energy did not stop at all, but instead accelerated.
More and more blue light overflows from the body. The waves returned to the heaven and earth like waves. You can even see that in those lights, there are countless faces of different sizes and appearances, smiling happily as if they have been liberated, and disappearing into the world.
"Ahhhhh!" Anakin's screams began to sound hoarse. He opened his mouth wide and looked up at the gods in the sky. His eyes have been completely wrapped in blue energy. Countless rays of light have begun to dissatisfy the superficial release, gradually escaping from Anakin's eyes, nose and mouth. At this moment, Anakin was like a full-inflated balloon. When the gas saw a leak, it erupted outwards in all possible ways.
"Is it all...destined? It turns out...I'm just a joke..." Just when Anakin felt that he was about to disintegrate into nothingness, a piece of parchment suddenly fell out of his pocket, and gradually Falling down. With his eyesight that was about to be lost, he clearly saw the words written on what the prophet gave to him: "The cold flesh is melted by the dear flame, the coming of the eye of God, the brokenness of the wretched." The dead place in the cold winter, the left scroll, when the end of Nayuta comes, the black night will cover the eyes of the moon, and on the fallen tree underground, the new leader will take off."
After reading this paragraph, Anakin seemed to suddenly understand something and smiled to himself. He closed his eyes again. At the same time, his body began to crack and break. The soul gradually disappears. There was a sudden explosion, and the blue ripples were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing circles of ripples. Blue ripples spread out in all directions, and everything touched by the ripples, no matter how big or small, immediately turned into the original ice crystal! But in the blink of an eye, what was originally a leafy forest has completely turned into a sea of ice within a radius of several hundred miles! The vegetation, rocks, animals and monsters. At this moment, everything turned into ice sculptures from the inside out, showing a deathly silence.
But in this icy blue ocean, only the area around Magella, who was sleeping on the ground, was lush vegetation and fresh weeds. After seeing that he had obeyed the law and completed his priesthood, Enos saw that Anakin had completely disappeared from the world, and even his soul had turned into nothingness. The huge and sacred void gradually closed and disappeared. The dark clouds covering this land also disappeared like a dream. It's like a dream.
The midday sun shines again on this unrecognizable land. The forest that had completely turned into ice crystals now reflected the sunlight, making it look shimmering and gorgeous. Accompanied by a clicking, clicking sound that gradually came closer. An old man in a white robe was shocked as he watched the plants and stones turned into ice sculptures, crushing a path and walking to the hillside.
After tightening his robe, the old man obviously felt the biting coldness. Putting aside the white hair that fell in front of his eyes, he said with emotion: "It actually made me feel the cold...Brother, is this your power?" This person was none other than the old and seventy-year-old Anakin. younger brother! Former Pope! …,
At this moment, he stepped onto the white hillside step by step. He looked up fearfully at the cloudless sky and then breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and stared at his unmasked nephew. "Haha, little guy. Your father seems to have left you something good." He muttered to himself and squatted down, because he saw a very shabby but very old scroll on the chest of the sleeping Magella. A very well made sheepskin scroll. Isn't this the scroll that records the Stone of Truth array that has the entire continent excited and fascinated?
The old pope reached out and gently picked up the fragile scroll and held it in his hand. The cloudy eyes that stayed there showed hesitation, and he couldn't help but murmured: "Gods, why don't you just destroy it?" After saying that, he glanced sideways at the person who was protecting Magella, causing a lively scene around him to continue. He said: "Why should we protect this scroll and this human being..." He slowly stood up again. The blood vessels in his hand holding the scroll bulged, showing the surging heart of his master: "Is there a chance? This is what you said Opportunity? Opportunities available to everyone, regardless of rank... Did you give this nephew and this scroll a chance? At the same time, did you also give me a chance?"
The old pope who slowly stretched out his hand to open the scroll suddenly stopped with a shock, but his eyes were full of memories: "Brother, is this also the reason for your suicide? Eternal life may not be as beautiful as you and I thought. ." After saying this, the hand that was about to untie the scroll suddenly dropped. He quickly put the scroll into an iron box on his waist. The iron box looked exactly like the iron box containing the scroll when Paladin discovered the cave where the scroll was placed!
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and the old pope, who looked very relaxed as if he had left behind some burden, bent down and picked up the sleeping Magella. He said to himself: "Forget it, dying of old age like this, maybe it would be more interesting..." After that, he turned around and walked out of the forest with Magella. Accompanied by the sound of crushing ice shards, the figures of an old man and a young man disappeared into the ice forest. But the words of the old pope came vaguely through the ice forest: "What should I do with this thing? Brother, maybe you want the alchemists in the Illuminati I founded to completely seal this thing. Bar."

The screen fades to black. It was as if his soul had been sucked into an endless tunnel and suddenly stepped on the ground again. Suddenly, Paladin opened his eyes. The first thing that happened was the nausea caused by the powerful feeling of weightlessness. He immediately fell to his knees and vomited. Cough cough cough... In a daze, Paladin's vision gradually became clearer. It was still the ancient temple and the carved stone floor.
Paladin, who was gradually regaining his breath, raised his head and looked at the five pairs of divine eyes that were still plain and mysterious, suspended in front of the statue. He stretched out his hand to wipe the stains from the corners of his mouth and asked softly: "Is this the truth? That's why I got the scroll. ?So the stories told in the Bible are completely lies?" Paladin stood up slowly and looked at the gods. But he didn't get any answer from the gods.
Paladin, who was not surprised by this, took a deep breath, feeling the thick depression and filth in the underground, and asked again: "Explain to me what is going on with the soul in the Stone of Truth."
As soon as he finished speaking, Belair, who symbolized darkness, his pair of red eyes of God lit up slightly, and finally spoke: "Flesh and blood is the medium of the soul. The Stone of Truth array uses flesh and blood at the cost of currency. Materials and souls blend together. Candidate, listen with your heart to the voices of those souls.”
