Transcendent Dawn

"Confused?"

Sulu thought of Bukadi's words, the career paths of the Seven Great Orthodox Churches are more or less flawed.

Unfortunately, it was too late when he knew this.

"Yes...a lot of doubts."

Rhodes put down the beer and the barbecue: "We are a group of poor people who are watched by the abyss... When the rank is promoted, I often hear the ravings from the abyss... Sometimes it is like an ax, slamming My head was split open, and sometimes it was like an awl pierced into my brain...sharp, piercing...so sad that people wanted to smash their own heads..."

"The teacher told me that this is the influence of the devil, let me ignore it, deliberately forget it, believe in the goddess, and fight against it..."

"But... when I prayed to the Goddess of Light, there seemed to be countless disturbances in my ears... I seemed to hear countless believers screaming and screaming... and it seemed that there were a lot of lunatics calling for help and cursing in my ears ...full of absurdity, arrogance, chaos..."

Rhodes narrated the secret solemnly, something he had never revealed to his teacher.

"I seem to have read it in a religious book...If there are hypocrites and unbelievers who pray, they will get bad results...Aren't you willing to believe in the Goddess of Light?"

Sulu understood that this old man's beliefs were not pious.

In other words, they are not prepared to surrender their beliefs to the Goddess of Light at all!

If it was in the world without demons, or during the twilight period of the gods, this problem would not be a problem, but now, it is a big problem!

Because of the particularity of the [Demon Hunter] profession, it is easy to be influenced by demons, and it needs to fight against it all the time.

Even, in the later stage, I will inevitably be unable to resist, and must introduce an 'external force', the most suitable one is the goddess of light!

Of course, in this way, the soul is first contracted by the devil, and then falls into the hands of the goddess, there is a danger of splitting!

"Hehe... As expected, the hardest person to deceive is myself. You have seen it. If I had to choose a belief, I would only believe in myself!"

Rhodes laughed.

Sulu was silent: "In that case... why did you choose [Demon Hunter]?"

"At that point, I had no other choice."

Rhodes was silent for a while, and explained casually: "And... I thought that my will was strong enough, at least before the fifth level, I didn't have to worry about the problem of degeneration... But later, I discovered... In front of the whispers of the abyss, personal will It's as small as an ant, and several times, I almost "degenerated"... For a [demon hunting expert] like me, it is very convenient to degenerate, and it will immediately transform into a third-order [ Horned Demon]! If there is such a day...Kill me!"

He stared at Sulu with a serious tone.

"This is too cruel... I probably can't do it!" Sulu shook his head and asked tentatively: "Would it be better if I was promoted to [Demon Hunting Master]?"

"No! As the rank increases, this will only become more and more serious... I suspect that if this continues, the day I will be promoted to the fifth rank... I mean, if there is one, I will definitely fall immediately, no There will be a second possibility!"

Rhodes shook his head.

Sulu was also speechless.

The solution is actually very simple, just sincerely believe in a righteous god and pray for blessings.

But Rhodes seems unwilling to do so.

And to be honest, in his heart, Sulu didn't want to offer his faith to any existence, even if the other party was the 'creator'!

Relying on one's own will to resist corruption is really dangerous.

"So... even if I have enough meritorious service and meet the conditions for being promoted to [Demon Hunting Master], I may not dare to be promoted..."

Rhodes sighed.

"Why... are you so against the belief in the gods?"

Sulu was a little confused. In all fairness, the churches of the seven righteous gods are still reliable. So many people in the Federation go to the goddess' church to pray every week. The religious atmosphere is very strong, and no one has problems.

He is a time traveler and said, why Rhodes is so resistant?

"I... found some remnants of my ancestors.

"

Rhodes fiddled with the fire: "It records some secrets of the [Demon Hunter] profession... After reaching the [Demon Hunter Master] stage, the risk of falling is very high, and the one who persisted in the end did not join the church." , is to fall completely, or before that, the self ends its life..."

"The remaining pages I saw were about those who joined the church. Some of them relied on the grace of God and their own will to overcome the temptation of the abyss, cleanse their hearts, and successfully promoted to the fifth level [Paladin]... But , At that stage, they were all changed and replaced little by little... After they were fully promoted, it was like a completely different person."

"Can you understand? The reason why a person is a person is made up of everything about him... After becoming a [Paladin], many ancestors were completely indifferent. They used to care about the family, but they became completely disregarding the life and death of the family. Serving the Goddess of Light wholeheartedly seems to be her fanatic."

...

"One person's transformation can be said to be a special case. Everyone is like this. It must be the profession of [Paladin]. What kind of trap is hidden?"

Sulu broke off a branch.

In the federation, the belief of the Church of the Goddess of Light is deeply rooted. Not to mention ordinary people, even professionals, dare not utter any profane words, or even have thoughts!

But after all, he is not a person of this world, so he directly locks the source and doubts the gods!

‘Sure enough...Although some of Bukadi’s words are half-truths and half-truths, some of them are true...The gods don’t want to see those who share their glory with them, and will deliberately suppress possible threats! '

This is not only external, but also internal.

Needless to say, the career path of the [assistant priest] of believers, the body, mind, and even soul of those who take this path belong to the gods, and it is impossible to resist.

Even, one must be allowed by the gods to advance to a higher rank.

It is equivalent to being completely controlled.

In addition, [Warrior], [Demon Hunter], and other professions mastered by the church are more or less flawed.

【Demon Hunter】Especially so!

"No... It's not correct to say it's a trap... After all, [Demon Hunter]'s soul has already been imprinted with the gaze of the abyss... If you want to fight against this power, or completely solve it, you must introduce the same level of power …Let the power of the Goddess of Light completely enter the soul, expel evil, and change some of its essence along the way.”

Su Lu pondered: "This reminds me of the law mentioned in a certain book... Once you are watched by a great being, you will never be able to get rid of it. Even if you pray for another existence of the same level and give a response, the result is just Replacement, not complete solution!"

This means that once you are 'marked' by a god-level existence such as a demon or a goddess, it is equivalent to jumping into a fire pit. You can choose to change to another fire pit at most, and you will never be able to get rid of it!

This is the iron rule of this world!
