CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 212: 3000 YEARS OF SHEN SHI

The Pope’s words indeed triggered a fierce uproar.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Some people even nearly fainted.

The Gods are merely servants?

These are the Gods! They have been the faith of the Cosmic Civilization for nearly ten thousand years. No matter what changes the civilization has undergone, the Gods have always been the spiritual pillar of the Cosmic Civilization. Even today, as the civilization has developed to such an extent, this faith has only slightly faded.

And now, these blasphemous words against the Gods are spoken by the Pope, the spokesperson of the Gods?

At this moment, many people even believed that the Pope might be under control.

Exactly, that’s how it must be!

"Pope, have you been controlled?"

"Indeed, how could you blaspheme the Gods!"

"You must be controlled!"

Many people shouted excitedly, unable to accept or even comprehend this.

However, the Pope merely shook his head gently.

His voice appeared calmly.

"You can doubt my will, you can doubt everything, but you absolutely cannot doubt the reality! In fact, this is not a revelation we’ve just discovered; a long time ago, we learned this secret from information left by the Gods — originally, I couldn’t accept it either, just like you. Even until I came here, I still couldn’t accept it. We established a black barrier, prohibiting anyone from venturing beyond the Star System, hoping forever to close our eyes and never touch this truth, always confined within our history, within our own cognition..."

The Pope still possessed a strong charisma, and some people gradually quieted down.

They gathered around the Pope, listening to his voice.

Their emotions became increasingly intense, then calm, then intense again.

"This Cosmos is much more powerful than we know. The Gods Civilization in this Cosmos is merely an ordinary civilization. Even we need just another one or two thousand years to reach, and even surpass the Gods. You all have a chance to live to that time, to witness it firsthand. Originally, by then, there would be no need for the Divine Court to exist. We could truly turn the Gods from an actual existing civilization to merely history, merely belief... But the masters of the Gods have returned, and they need new servants... This is like the mission we inherit..."

When the Pope spoke these words, he had completely opened his heart.

Everyone could clearly feel his sincerity.

And within the Pope’s own mind, all of this felt intensely real.

It’s actually very easy to think about.

This planet that has suddenly appeared before them is so powerful, powerful to the extent that the Divine Artifacts left by the Gods are incomparable, yet with such power, they haven’t harmed a single Cosmic Person, only gathered them here as if intending to take them all away.

Isn’t this exactly what the Pope has described?

Even the most steadfast believers, at this moment, must accept reality, must accept logic.

In fact, this is precisely where the Cosmic Civilization has evolved to such an extent.

If it had been more than a thousand years ago, even if the Pope stood up to personally narrate these things, no one would believe it; they would only think the Pope was controlled.

Yet, at this moment, those on the brink of disruption have already been thoroughly unsettled.

Even though some still persist, still question.

As time goes on, this group will ultimately become fewer and fewer.

And the humans who witness this scene and hear the Pope’s words are somewhat dumbstruck.

They had originally prepared negotiation plans, but the current situation seems to be the best outcome.

— For the Cosmic People, serving humanity, how could it compare to serving the former masters of the Gods?

Whether it’s faith, or power, or reality, most of them might readily accept all of this.

"This doesn’t require us at all," someone couldn’t help but whisper with admiration, "Just Councillor Shen alone can perfectly achieve the goal."

"Nonsense." Tao De also laughed but glared at the person who spoke, "We have to prepare our alternative plan, and it must function as an alternative."

"Indeed, this trip wasn’t in vain."

"With the service of the Cosmic Civilization, our civilization will compensate for the final shortcomings."

"There are still many things to follow."

"Exactly, since the Pope has spoken like this, we must weave this new myth thoroughly. We humans cannot merely be a civilization that was just Earth Star Period thirty years ago. What about crafting a powerful human civilization, and we’re merely a branch, Councillor Shen is from the Main Family, how about that?"

"Hmm, we can delve deeper, let’s hold a meeting to discuss."

"..."

Humans also got busy once again, and Shen Shi continued giving some instructions, such as allowing them to contact the Pope to some extent.

The Pope has now voluntarily engraved the Primordial Energy Steel Seal, in a sense, he’s considered one of us.

With his cooperation, retelling the myth and shifting belief isn’t such a difficult task.
