Chapter 789: Movement of the Holy Relic

"The Original Heart..." Adam murmured the term, feeling absurd and powerless.

The absurdity lies in that even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, there are still people who sacrifice their lives and generations for this illusory idea. The powerlessness lies in that for such a seemingly absurd and unattainable ideal, there are still people who believe in it so sincerely. The ideological struggle that has been going on since the twilight age has not stopped until now. They seem insignificant, but they influence the world in every subtle and invisible way, making it difficult for individuals to shake them.

After learning the secret of Tilan's identity, he began to hesitate. According to his past thoughts, he would naturally deny the other party's words. After all, all the residents of the Federation now know that returning to an era like the Fifth Era would not be a good thing. No matter how powerful the leadership and civilization are, once people have no choice, it becomes a cage of confinement.

This is also the reason why he was thinking, if Tilan is really the dark sun that has not yet awakened, should he kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.

But now he began to hesitate, because the experiences of these years made him see the true nature of the Federation beneath its glamor. Everything was just a new skin, and it would be the same no matter who was in power. This was society, and differences between the rich and the poor were bound to arise. Besides, did he really want to kill a life that had not yet shown any sin for such an illusory possibility? Or perhaps that child would bring a better choice?
After all, he is just a mortal and has no qualifications or ability to judge such matters.

Yongrong, your two daughters are not simple people. I shouldn't have made that attempt at that time. After all, I was young and impetuous and made a mistake.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly lowered the gun, as if putting down the responsibility and obsession he had carried on his shoulders for decades.

"It seems that you have thought it through, Adam." The old man opposite was not surprised by this result. After all, the two had known each other for decades and understood each other's temperament.

"Come with us, there will be many things in the future that need us to witness together."

"No, you guys go ahead, I'm just tired." He shook his head.

When his past obsessions faded away, he felt his heart become extremely empty. This was a dangerous signal. He had seen countless colleagues and companions suffer accidents in this state and die during missions.

'When your beliefs are not strong enough, it is best to stay away from any battlefield.'

Perhaps it was time for him to leave.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a huge gap was blown out in the underground dome where the eight people were, followed by a rapid jet sound. The fighters wearing dark infrared skeleton armor, with the assistance of jet boosters, quickly descended into the dark depths of the underground. With the help of the scanners connected to the goggles, they locked onto the enemies present one by one, and then raised their guns and opened fire.

Bang, bang, bang, the sound of dense bullets swept past, piercing several shuttles that had not yet started. Then they rushed forward without stopping. Several small missiles with swaying flame tails shot out, exploded underground, and instantly spread into a flood of flames, consuming all the oxygen here.

Thanks to the exoskeleton armor's oxygen supply system, they were not affected at all, but the five people hiding at the scene were in a bad situation. If they did not leave here quickly, their combat effectiveness would only become weaker and weaker, and in such a fierce chase, physical exhaustion meant death.

At this time, the two sides had no intention of confronting each other. They dodged separately. The five people on the opposite side found the only shuttle and started it, quickly rushing towards the dark river. However, they were caught up by the members of the Fenxin tribe and blew up with high-powered artillery fire in the process, and the entire shuttle shattered into flames.

With the help of the exploding fire and sound waves, Adam and his companions jumped into the underground river in the chaos. They quickly held their breath and swam flexibly to the distance of the underground river, while tiny splashes of water appeared on the surface of the water.

Half a minute later, several high-powered bombs were thrown into the water, stirring up the entire underground river. Countless water splashes and fire waves spread, and part of the underground passage was blown off. However, no bodies were found in the subsequent search, and the man nicknamed 'Adam' still escaped from here.

……

A month later, a report appeared on the black table in front of Pulin Koko, detailing the results of the operation and the news of the demise of the "Prophecy Faction".

"News like this is very comforting to read." She flipped through the pages with her fingers, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"You did a great job." She nodded to the members of the Fenxin tribe who were waiting in front of her, and the latter saluted devoutly.

"It's time for the next move. I want to obtain the 'Eternal Covenant' stored in the Holy White Melody. Bring sufficient manpower and fleet and prepare to set off."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Regarding the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranxia', not only Tilan was interested, but Pulin also wanted to hold it in his hands. Such a thought seemed so natural, just like seeing the gorgeous scepter standing on the top of the mountain and wanting to pick it up.

Being in charge of the Federation is no longer enough for her. She wants to get closer to the colorful singers in history. In addition, even if the prophecy faction is destroyed, she has become curious about the origin of the prophecy.

The curiosity of a queen is completely different from that of ordinary people. Once an idea comes into her mind, countless people will work hard for it and countless resources will be allocated to realize that fleeting idea.

"As for the Sigma Mechanical Council." She tapped her fingers on the table, thinking about the strength of the Sigma Mechanical Council.

She knew very little about this mysterious neighboring country and its branch of human civilization. Even though she had already taken control of the Federation, she had not yet lost her mind enough to start a war easily.

"First, put pressure on them to hand over the 'Eternal Covenant'."

"Yes, Your Highness." Now in the federal center, no one can oppose her orders.

------

After spending a week in the Cathedral of the Golden Flame, Tilan browsed through many books and records stored there and learned a lot about the early history of the Federation.

"So, there was no 'Tribunal' in the Federation at the beginning." After looking through the records, she became a little curious about this.

"Yes." Beside Tilan stood a blonde half-elf priest. Her name was Akashia, and she was the priest who had guided Tilan to the cathedral for the first time.

After many years, the appearance of this half-elf priest has not changed much. After all, she has 70% elven blood and is still in her youth, which is equivalent to about 30 years old in human terms.

"Is Tilan curious about this aspect of history?" Akaxia turned her head to look at the girl who was sitting at the table flipping through a book.

"Yes, I want to understand the federal structure at that time. If there was no Inquisition, who was responsible for protecting the songstresses and supervising the congressmen and giant companies?"

Acacia recalled briefly and then said, "The Inquisition was established not long ago. It is the embodiment of the will of Her Highness Amyuralin. Earlier, it was the 'Voice Department' that protected the singers and trained the singers."

"Groat Sound Department?" Tilan felt a little unfamiliar with this term.

"Yes, this used to be a subordinate organization of the Golden Flame Flower Cathedral, specializing in the training of singers. They would develop a special training plan for each singer and build a team belonging to this singer, responsible for all the activities of the singer, such as negotiation, business, protection, training, etc. Each singer is like a small kingdom with a full set of institutional members."

"With the assistance of the Throat Voice Department, each singer is a very strong force, semi-independent of the federal structure." "I believe Tilan can easily understand and think of the advantages and disadvantages of this." Akashia blinked and looked at Tilan with a smile.

"It's indeed easy to understand." Tilan nodded slightly.

In the era with the assistance of the 'Throat Voice Department', the singers could get the greatest assistance and growth, so there were many Sunday-level singers at that time. However, the downside was that such singers were like local lords, making it difficult for the federal central government to govern them, and the congressmen had to consider the opinions of the singers in various bills and the exercise of power, which weakened their status.

"Her Highness Aimulalin abolished and changed many things. Although the Inquisition protects the Song Girl, it also exists as a limiter, making the Song Girl's power far less than in the early days of the Federation."

"In addition, the members of the Throat Ministry have a close relationship with the Holy White Melody. They are also a force independent of the Federation and have more freedom." Akashia continued to explain.

"How are they connected to the Holy White Melody?" Tilan didn't expect there to be such a relationship.

"Many of the singers of the Throat Music Department were trained in isolation at the Holy White Melody. They have simple personalities and will practice the relevant extraordinary sequences only after choosing the singer they want to follow."

"In the spiritual realm and in the realm related to the songstress, the Holy White Melody has done a lot of research and inheritance. In order to fight against the dark sun, the three saints invented the secret method of sealing. In order to gain resonance, the songstress had to bypass the secret method of sealing in another way. The two are closely related."

"However, after Aimuralin abolished the Throat Music Department, our communication with the Holy White Melody has become much less, and the training of the Song Festival is now all up to the Song Princesses to find cooperative forces on their own."

“So that’s how it is.” Tilan now understood why Saint White Melody had such a high status in the past.

In the system left by Isanissa, the Holy White Melody is equivalent to an independent area isolated from the influence of the Federation. It tries to ensure the purity of the spiritual world and serves as a cradle of song festivals and an area of ​​ascetic seclusion. The Sigma Mechanical Council is the last fighting force of mankind and a safety bolt. In case the Dark Sun emerges again in the Federation, or a singer becomes the Dark Sun, the Sigma Council will be a sword hanging high, and they will deal with the fallen singer.

In order to ensure that the three parties were nominally equal in status and to prevent the "Eternal Covenant" from being controlled by ambitious people, she deliberately divided it into three parts and handed it over to the three parties to manage.

This first-generation color-level singer has quite a few tricks up her sleeve.

In the past, in order to train singing priests, the Federation would send many elites to Holy White Melody. In order to gain the support of singing priests, singing maidens also donated money to Holy White Melody and so on. This made Holy White Melody financially wealthy and it was also a paradise envied by many people in the Federation. However, with Aimularin cutting off the throat section, the status of Holy White Melody also declined significantly. Now, this small neighboring country is rarely reported in the news media of the Federation.

While Tilan was discussing the Holy White Melody with Akaxia, on the other side of the galaxy, this small country was also suffering tremendous pressure.

A fleet from the central federation arrived. Although this fleet only had 30 Red Angel class battleships, 100 cruisers, thousands of destroyers and aircraft carriers, etc., its combat power was more than three times that of the Holy White Melody's own armed forces.

On the planet where Ledide resides, as the official federal delegation, dozens of heavy shuttles slowly landed on the central square. The delegation then walked out with a cold and solemn atmosphere and faced the local federation president of the Holy White Melody who had been waiting for a long time.

As a country, Saint White Melody only has a small government, and many major issues are discussed and completed at internal joint meetings. The president's power is far less than that of a normal national leader, and he exists more as a mediator.

"Hello, respected envoy. I am Evan, the current president of the Federation." A man in a white uniform walked out with a helpless look on his face.

Although they were very dissatisfied with the Federation's army's advance, they must not provoke the other side at this moment. After all, compared with the Federation, Saint White Melody was too small. If it were in the past, Saint White Melody could have used diplomatic means to silence some people in the Federation who had ulterior motives, but now the Federation was an iron barrel and they had no room to maneuver.

In response to Evan's greeting, the representative of the diplomatic delegation remained calm and didn't even look at him twice. He asked for it directly.

"We have been entrusted by the Federal Central Council to transfer back to the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranxia' for inspection and review."

"This..." Evan felt tremendous pressure.

"'Lorenxia's Eternal Covenant' does exist in the Holy White Melody and is strictly protected, but it is placed here on the order of Her Highness Isanissa, the 'Flower of Golden Flame'. This is also a provision written into the Federal Constitution. Even we cannot easily unseal and retrieve it." At this time, he could only push the blame on the color-level singer.

"It is true that it was Her Highness Isanissa's order, but now a thousand years have passed. We need to confirm whether this important heritage of human civilization is still intact and safe. As for the constitutional regulations you mentioned, the federal government has already passed the amendment bill three months ago." Now that the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction is in power, amending the regulations is as easy as drinking water.

Seeing that the other party rejected his excuse, the president of the union could only bite the bullet and continue to find excuses to delay time, because the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranxia' could be lost at any time, but never in his own hands, otherwise it would definitely be recorded in history, and even if he retreated in the future, he would not get a good result.

Unfortunately, his continuous excuses did not convince the representative to give up, but instead angered him.

"I'm here to inform you, not to ask for your opinion. This is an official decision of the Federation. If you insist on resisting, you will be an enemy of the Federation." The representative's voice was so depressing and sinister that the president almost lost his legs. After all, the group of fighters in red exoskeleton armor in front of him had really seen blood, and they were not something that the local armed forces of Saint White Melody could resist.

"Let someone lead the way and take us to the place where the Eternal Covenant is stored!" After the final notice was issued, the members of Holy White Melody at the scene had to nervously consider countermeasures.

Seeing that they were still standing there, the representative raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him raised their electromagnetic rifles one by one and aimed at the people in front of them.

"I'll come and take you there." It was useless to say anything at this time. If a conflict really broke out, there would probably be bloodshed and death. Evan had to stand up.

"Let's go, Mr. President." When the representative said the last few words, his tone was particularly mocking.

"Yes, yes." With a sigh, Evan dispatched the guards inside the Holy White Melody and told the defense forces in the forbidden area that they would take out the 'Eternal Covenant'.

Soon, the route of this group of people's movement was known to the major factions within Holy White Melody, and they began to discuss countermeasures.

"No matter what, the starships in the sky are watching us. It will be difficult for us to resist successfully. Once blood is really shed, the situation will get out of control." Some people are inclined to compromise.

"But that is the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranthia'. As followers of the Three Sages, one of our ultimate missions is to guard this covenant."

"What's the point of talking about mission at this time? The other party represents the orders of the Volcano Songstress. This is equivalent to Isanissa's own daughter asking you for inheritance. Can you still keep it and not give it to her?" Someone made such an analogy.

"We can't refuse, and resistance is meaningless. The only one we can rely on now is the Sigma Mechanical Council. Once the delegation leaves, we must inform them of the intelligence as soon as possible. They will understand."

"This is the only way." The others couldn't think of a better way and could only agree.

Three days later, the fleet carrying the holy relic 'Loranxia Eternal Covenant' sailed away from the Holy White Melody and sent it to the center of the Federation. At the same time, ripples appeared on the Sea of ​​Aijaka. The subtle changes brought about by the movement of the holy relic allowed many hidden forces to obtain intelligence.
