Starting from not paying back debts to start technological hegemony

Winter Church.

Vast Starfield.

Although the Winter Church is known as a bitter cold place compared to other civilizations, how can the Winter Church, as a high-level civilization, be really bitter cold?

It's just that there are too many civilizations integrated here, each with its own path, and too scattered, which leads to constant internal fighting, and it seems that there is iron and blood everywhere, and it is impossible to completely unite.

If all the civilizations under the Winter Church can unite, then the strength of the Winter Church is no less than that of Narota.

But it's a pity.

Narota has a high tower system. No matter how much internal fighting there is, it is ultimately a unified civilization with a common belonging. The Winter Church is different. The Winter Church believes in an illusory god.

In the past, it was easy to say, and it could fool people.

But with the rise of the Truth Empire, everyone found that those who believed in the Lord of Light could get benefits and be treated well by the Truth Empire, while those who believed in the God of Winter got nothing, so the belief in the God of Winter became weaker.

In the final analysis, everyone is just huddling together for warmth. What kind of faith is all nonsense. The doctrine of the God of Winter is cosmic terrorism, which is not universally recognized and has no universal value.

The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity. In addition to the problems of economy, politics and distribution, there is another problem that the people want chaos after a long period of peace, and want peace after a long period of chaos.

This is the case within the Church of Winter. In the long-term internal struggle, they are eager to give birth to a savior who can lead them to live a peaceful life.

But there is no one.

No one can convince anyone, and the struggle continues.

Jin Yalan and others have lived in the Winter Galaxy for many days.

They can clearly feel the difference between here and Earth.

If Earth is a prosperous and prosperous world, a place of peace, and a paradise for those who yearn for peace, then this is a paradise for those who yearn for chaos, and an ultimate holy place full of excitement and adventure elements.

There are different civilizations living on any planet.

There are arenas and rings on any street.

Blood and fire never disappear, blooming here grandly, like a blood-burning flower, shining with brilliant brilliance, making people can't help but stimulate the fighting factors deep in their own genes, and always want to fight.

The humans who came here with the Sage Tangu gradually adapted to life here.

It's just a little strange that it's too peaceful.

The Church of Winter takes a lot of care of humans. After all, they are kept in captivity for blood drawing and experimentation, and also for finding talents, so they are not abused.

But it's strange that so much time has passed and no one has come to see them.

This is not Jin Yalan's self-love.

She is an extremely smart person. She is good at using all resources, just like she used her beauty to make money, then used the chaos in the United States to make a fortune, and then used Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend's identity to become a hero. After becoming a hero, she used the hero's identity to gather people to make money for her in the virtual game.

She has obtained wealth that she can't spend in ten lifetimes, and her idea of ​​pursuing a better life has changed again and again.

She knows what her own advantages are.

It used to be beauty, but now it's status.

What status? Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend's status, this is very realistic.

She thinks that even the application for immigration to the Winter Church was approved because of this status. Maybe the people in the Human Union wanted her to get out of here a long time ago.

Chen Yang might not even look at her, but with Chen Yang's current height, she can get unimaginable gains in ordinary civilizations just by relying on this status.

So she wondered, why has no one come to see her for so many days?

And just when she was wondering.

Above the human gathering area.

A starship fell from the sky.

Gradually landed in front of her.

Two thin figures in black robes walked down from the starship.

"Dear Ms. Jin Yalan, we are church clergy, and the Pope invites you to dinner!"

One of the black-robed people spoke in Chinese, with a superficial respectful attitude.

Jin Yalan didn't see their appearance because the black robes covered them too tightly, but Jin Yalan nodded and followed them on the starship proudly.

After the starship left.

The crowd around who came with Jin Yalan were boiling. They knew that the boss was going to take off again, and they were going to enjoy the good life with the boss again.

But in the corner, Qi Yuming clenched his fists.

Not to mention the past, but in the universe, Chen Yang's name still rang in his ears every day, which was really unbearable for him.

Especially everyone knew that Jin Yalan was nominally his wife, but she was Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend, which was even more difficult for him to accept.

The most unacceptable thing was that JinYalan refused to let him touch her, and even said to him, how could a woman who was protected by a lion fall in love with a wild dog?

He almost vomited blood.

This was the biggest harm to him.

He could tolerate the others, but this time he really couldn't tolerate it anymore.

He had already decided that he must make this woman look good. Anyway, he felt that life had no meaning, so he might as well kill her and see how arrogant she was.

You are just a bitch who abandoned others and was despised by others. I must make you recognize your appearance.

Touching the potion in his pocket that he had exchanged for blood from a certain alchemy weirdo civilization, he took a deep breath, then turned around and went to the house to prepare.

On the other side.

The starship arrived at the main star.

Arrived at the Temple of the God of Winter.

This is the most sacred place of the Church of Winter. As long as the Church of Winter does not collapse, no matter how thin the faith is, this is the core of civilization.

Even the great saints cannot fight here.

The Pope was an old man, and he no longer looked like he was dozing off at the Saints' Meeting.

His eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

And beside him, a group of clergy stood aside with their heads down.

Soon, Jin Yalan was brought in and walked into the interior of the magnificent temple. All the way to the Pope's Palace at the core, Jin Yalan was a little shocked.

Too tall and magnificent.

"You are here!"

The Pope waved his hand, and the clergy around him left one after another.

Jin Yalan sat down on the other side of the long table made of gold and jade. Various delicacies were already placed on the table, all of which Jin Yalan had never seen before, from various civilizations under the Winter Church.

Jin Yalan looked at the Pope, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what the Pope meant. Was it really a meal?

The Pope made an invitation gesture, then picked up the tableware on his own, and began to handle the food in an orderly manner and eat elegantly.

Jin Yalan didn't speak, but cooperated with the meal.

The Pope suddenly spoke up and said to himself: "I come from a pirate civilization, which is very old and one of the earliest civilizations of the Winter Church. At that time, the Kaus civilization had not yet been incorporated into the Winter Church.

The Winter Church at that time was an organization where a group of homeless people and those who had nowhere to go gathered together for warmth.

The doctrine of the God of Winter was also determined at that time. The cosmic environment at that time was worse than it is now. It was difficult to survive without the protection of a higher civilization.

At that time, every civilization in the Winter Church was broken and wanted revenge, so the doctrine was very extreme.

But over time, as the Winter Church grew stronger, everyone's group warmth became useful, their status was different, and it was not so dangerous, so they gradually gave up hatred and pursued a better life.

Our ancestors believed that only by becoming a higher civilization can we have beauty. Good life.

Later, Kaus was incorporated because of this concept.

But we were wrong. Although the incorporation of Kaus and the Tangu tribe made the Winter Church a high-level civilization and attracted countless interstellar civilizations to join, the internal situation began to collapse and become chaotic.

We have integrated too many civilizations, and unlike your human civilization, we do not have a common concept of Datong to deal with the balance between civilizations, so internal strife broke out.

It lasted for nearly three million years.

Everyone fights for each other, seemingly a high-level civilization, but in fact it is not as good as interstellar civilization.

But we can't disperse. We have offended too many forces over the years. Once dispersed, we will all die.

Sometimes it's helpless, do you understand? "

Jin Yalan ate some unknown food and felt it was delicious, so she nodded slightly and ate by herself without saying anything more.

But it was enough.

The Pope smiled and said, "The only thing that has been passed down from the Winter Church to today is the church's doctrine. But in fact, let alone the five saints and various civilizations, even I, the Pope, do not believe in it."

Jin Yalan nodded again. It is normal not to believe in false gods. After all, there is a saying that the closer people are to God, the less they believe in God.

The Pope seemed to be reminiscing, saying: "When I was a child, I received education from our mother civilization, and also received education from the Winter Church. I also studied in Narota and went to the Empire of Truth for exchanges. It can be said that I know all the civilizations in the Milky Way.

Later, the old Pope died. It was said that he died of old age, but in fact he was killed by Saint Kaus.

I was recalled. My weakness was in the interests of Kaus and Tangu. As a person who was born in the civilization founded by the Winter Church, my identity was also in the interests of the local residents and the believers of the Winter Church, so I became the new Pope.

After I came to power, I also had great ambitions, but the reality was cruel.

I finally accepted the reality."

Jin Yalan nodded again in cooperation,I just don't understand why he told me this.

At this time, the Pope suddenly raised his voice.

"I have a dream!"

What?

Jin Yalan couldn't eat anymore, because in her experience, as long as someone talked about dreams, they would start to deceive people and make big promises.

As expected.

The Pope seemed to be on a pilgrimage and said, "I dream of leading the Winter Church to true peace and making all civilizations feel at ease, but the teachings of the Winter Church are not in line with it, and the struggle within the Winter Civilization cannot be resolved. I was already desperate.

But the appearance of your ex-boyfriend, Chen Yang, gave me an opportunity.

If the war must break out, why not take the opportunity to clean up everything and let the Winter Church usher in a new life?

But I can't do it.

Because my identity is very sensitive.

But you are different. You have both free will and Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend. Identity, you can completely lead the Winter Church to a true rebirth, let free will replace the Winter Doctrine, this is perfect.

Narota is not okay, we have a grudge, the faith of the Empire of Truth is not okay, it conflicts with us, and Chen Yang's Datong is not okay. In Datong's eyes, we are a dark corner, destined to be cleared.

Only your free will is very suitable for our needs.

And your identity as Chen Yang's ex-girlfriend can allow you to do too many things.

The success rate is very high! "

"You mean, you want to train me?" Jin Yalan hesitated.

"No!"

The Pope shook his head, quite apologetically, and said: "I don't trust you. I found a consciousness conversion device. The success rate of this thing is not high, but I can only gamble, so I want to make a deal with you. I will be Jin Yalan and you will be the Pope. How about it?"

"Sorry, I don't agree!" Jin Yalan immediately stood up.

"It's not up to you!"

The Pope immediately flipped the table, waved his hand, and several robots walked out of the dark.
