Chapter 164 The variable man and the tower of divine rules!
"I only know a little bit. Those who are related to the anchor of fate are all variables."

"Like the first Pope and the fallen Julius, they are all uncertain people.

Not every pope can wield the scepter, only the unpredictable can pick it up."

"So, that fallen one was also recognized by the Staff of Law?" Figueroa was shocked.

All believers of the Creation of Order know that Julius is the biggest traitor in the history of the Holy See.

He single-handedly caused the collapse of the faith in order and ruined the best chance for the Holy See to unify the faith in order.

Figueroa couldn't believe it. How could such a traitor be recognized by the Staff?
The Pope showed a look of emotion and sighed:
“He is indeed the most outstanding pope in the history of the Holy See, and he almost unified the faith of the entire world.

It was only later that he was deceived by the evil book, which led to his fall. Not only that, he also used the evil book to pollute the staff of law. "

"What, the Staff of Law is contaminated?"

"Yes, so you were able to awaken it. This is fate's arrangement. From now on, you must restore its power and glory as soon as possible."

"But what do I need to do?"

"The Staff of Law needs to absorb the power of God to recover. Every year during the Holy Grace Month, you will accept the worship of believers with me."

"I understand," the boy agreed, not knowing what it meant.

"In addition, I am going to appoint you as the ninth bishop, responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of the evil book."

"The Book of Evil?"

"Yes, that is the thing that can confuse Julius and pollute the Staff of the Law. It is also a sacred artifact, and successive popes have never given up their pursuit of it." The Pope said solemnly.

"Artifact?"

Figueroa was shocked.

"Could it be that the events of the past had some influence from other gods?"

"One god is not enough. In fact, there is an intelligent creature standing behind that thing."

Figueroa took a breath, creation, that's different.

No wonder the traitor later fell.

“Your Majesty, I have consulted the secret history of the Great Schism.

The strange thing is that it seems that all the classics are vague and even contradictory, and they will be interrupted at every critical point. "

“No need to check, some beings don’t want us to know too many secrets.

In fact, the truth is not what we know, but sometimes it is best not to know. "

"I understand, Your Majesty. Do we have any clues about the Staff?"

"No, it disappeared after the Great Sundering and has never appeared since."

The Pope shook his head.

"But things are different now, because the Staff has awakened.

It was contaminated by the evil book and fell silent. After it is revived, it should be able to sense the book through it.

But the prerequisite is that you have full control over the staff."

"I understand, the clue is me." Figueroa nodded.

The two of them talked as they walked, and arrived at a palace deep in Shenjuan Island.

The hall stood alone, surrounded by thousands of Holy See cavalry.

Such strict guarding is no less than that of the Papal Palace.

"Open the door," said the Pope.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Several guards came to the palace gate, and they all had heavenly rank strength.

I saw the burning energy surging in their bodies, and they put their hands against the bronze door and pushed it with all their strength.

The door didn't move at first, until veins on their arms bulged, and then it creaked and slowly opened a gap.

Figueroa was shocked. What on earth was inside this hall? Why did it take a Heavenly Rank expert to open just the door?

With a loud bang, the palace door closed behind him, and a foggy space appeared in front of Figueroa's eyes, and he could not see his hand in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

A voice sounded in the mist, the voice was like both male and female, hoarse and gentle.

"I want to enter the Tower of God."

"Okay, but this one?" the voice sounded questioning.

"He is someone recognized by the Staff of the Law." The Pope said calmly.

A scream was heard in the fog, and then it began to roll, quickly forming a path.

At the end of the road are two black doors.

The Pope brought Figueroa to the door. This time he took out a golden ball covered with strange patterns.

He inserted the ball into the hole in the middle of the gate.

With a click, the door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage leading underground.

"Come with me."

The two walked down the stairs.

The passage was lined with electric lamps, so the light was not dim at all, but the endless depth made people feel inexplicably frightened.

Tick ​​tick tick.

With every step Figueroa took, the sound echoed in the corridor for a long time, as if hitting his heart.

He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the staff.

After walking down for an unknown amount of time, the view in front of the two suddenly opened up, the steps began to flatten, and the two sides of the passage suddenly became transparent.

Figueroa looked outside and saw dark blue water all around.

The sea water pressed against the passage, looking as if it would press down at any moment, but densely packed runes flashed on the passage, blocking them out.

"This is actually the bottom of the sea!" he was shocked.

A team of about ten Holy See cavalrymen wearing extremely thick plate armor cruised along the underwater passage.

Holding spears, they walked stiffly on the seabed. The leader slowly turned his head to look at the two people in the passage.

His eyes were empty and cold, filled with murderous intent.

"That is?"

Figueroa's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he remembered a legend.

"They are the Last Night Guard." The Pope seemed to see through his thoughts and said.

“Most of the powerful men in the Holy See would voluntarily request to become the Guardians of the Last Night before they died.

This process is very painful, but it is the proof of their piety. After becoming guardians, they will protect the Tower of God. "

"Your Majesty, you mean that the Tower of God is at the bottom of the Xianglan Sea?"

“Yes, the passage in front of you is called the Deep Blue Holy Road, and it was laid out by the first Pope himself.

It not only resists the surrounding seawater, but also blocks the invasion of powerful enemies."

The Pope said this as he took out a golden ball that glowed with a faint golden light.

The runes on the passage emitted soft light, entangled with the golden light.

Figueroa only felt a distortion in front of his eyes, as if something was broken.

The next moment, a tower base of unknown width appeared before his eyes, emitting a sacred aura.

In the center of the tower base, two golden doors slowly opened.

"The Deep Blue Holy Road also has a psychedelic effect. What you are seeing now is the greatest secret of the Holy See - the Tower of Divine Rule." The Pope said solemnly.

The two entered the door, and the next moment they appeared in a vast space.

The place was filled with thick and uncivilized holy power. Due to its high concentration, the holy power had begun to form microcrystals and were suspended in the air.

In the middle of the ground was painted an extremely complex combustion array, with a wheel-sized golden crystal floating above it.

Milky white holy power continuously overflowed from the magic circle and was absorbed by the crystals.

"This is?"

Figueroa stared at the golden crystal, feeling his heart pounding, and had a strong urge to pounce on it and merge into it.

"It is the Heart of God, the core of this place."

The Pope said softly.

"The reason why the Tower of God can gather the power of faith of millions of believers is because of it."

"Gather the power of faith?" Figueroa was shocked.

"Yes. It is a dragon crystal from an ancient golden dragon.

The first Pope continuously infused his divine power into it for nourishment during his lifetime.

Before his death, he integrated all of his flesh, blood and soul into it, so it has this ability.

In fact, it is the incarnation of the first pope.”

"You mean... the first Pope is here?"

"Yes, this is one of the highest secrets of the Holy See." The Pope said in a low voice.

Figueroa's voice was already trembling:
"That person... is still alive?"
