I become stronger after eating

Earlier, the Temple of Light.

The main hall of the Holy Temple of Light is built on the Holy Mountain of the entire Papal State, with the ancient Holy City below, surrounding this sacred building like a pilgrimage of stars over the moon.
It's late at night, but the lights here are brightly lit, one after another, lighting up the night like day.The huge golden holy pool reflects the hurriedly walking figures, and the blue waves ripple.

Upon receiving the notice, the cardinals put on their clothes, woke up from their sleep, and rushed to the cathedral.

Fortunately, as early as a few months ago, there were vague news and rumors on the Star Network that the Pope was seriously ill.In recent years, Pope Guangming's health has been deteriorating day by day. He has closed his doors to thank guests and lived in seclusion. In the past few months, he even issued a notice of critical illness.Both the outside world and the inside of the Temple of Light are already prepared for the pope's sudden death. All they have to do is follow the procedures.

"The Pope is seriously ill and in critical condition, and has ordered His Majesty the Holy Son to be brought to the Papal Hall."

The various procedures approved by the doctor were conveyed and finally submitted to a senior official of the Imperial Military Department stationed in the Papal States. Only after confirmation and approval was obtained, Yin Longjing was allowed to go.He took off his weapon, walked through the layers of halls, and entered the Son's bedroom in the side hall under heavy guard.

"Your Majesty?" Yin Longjing gently knocked on the black iron door and watched the complicated and mysterious patterns spinning on it.

When the Black Tower disguised itself as Zerg and invaded the Temple of Light, and the confessional was shattered, the empire renovated it and changed the location of the confessional to the previous bedroom of the Holy Son. The security here was more complete and the conditions were better than before. Quite a bit, at least instead of sleeping on a cold stone slab, you can sleep on warm bedding.

But even so, the suppressor on Lou Jia was still not allowed to be removed.
Fortunately, this thing does not delay cultivation.

"The Pope issued an urgent edict and ordered his subordinates to bring you to His Majesty's bed before his death."

When Yin Longjing was delivering the news, the restriction on the bedroom door was finally opened, and the iron door opened with a creak.

Behind the door, the silver-haired Holy Son had finished dressing and was standing there.
The three years of imprisonment did not diminish his natural nobility at all. On the contrary, due to the accumulation of age and the increase in cultivation level, he was tainted with more of the sacred aura of Seraph. As his outline became mature, his whole body temperament became more and more mature. Hair is otherworldly.

"Let's go." Lou Jia stepped forward, showing no trace of being imprisoned for three years.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his white robe was fluttering. Because he was walking so fast, the moon-white stone pillars around him left shadows on his handsome face, making him look particularly cold.

Although he had not seen his Majesty for more than a year and the situation was urgent, Yin Longjing did not bother him and quickly followed him.

He knew that the old pope took His Majesty out of the orphanage, and against all opinions, he established Lou Jia, who had just awakened the six-winged Seraph mimicry, as the Holy Son of Light. During the two years when Lou Jia was imprisoned by the empire, even Dragging the sick body to calm down the turmoil inside the temple, the cardinals and archbishops should not have inappropriate thoughts because the Holy Son was temporarily dismissed from office.
Your Majesty has always valued feelings. Although when he grew up, he became a little alienated because of the Pope's control, forced orders and all kinds of ridiculous things. But no matter what, he was still a teacher and a father. Now the Pope is seriously ill and is on his deathbed. , I must feel uncomfortable.

Soon, Lujia passed through the layers of corridors, passed the large church with the statues of gods, and entered the Pope's Hall.
A large number of cardinals have gathered here.Wearing thick red clothes, they gathered around the bed in the center.Everyone put their hands on their chests, chanted words, and prayed in a low voice.There are recording devices and equipment floating in the air nearby, and the complicated instruments in front of the bed are flashing lights, and the overall atmosphere is solemn and sad.

Cardinal Archbishop Fudge, who was standing at the front, looked sad, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he did not have much true feelings, was hypocritical and pretentious, and instead took advantage of the Pope's dying moments to whisper something.

"The Holy Son has come."
"Your Majesty."

When Loujia came in, there was a small commotion.
During the three years of confinement, neither the Sons nor the Cardinals were allowed to visit.Looking at this silver-haired saint who is as cold and distant as the bright moon in the sky, and whose momentum is not diminished but only increased even though he wears a suppressor, many people who have dissatisfied with him can't help but be a little surprised.

Seventh order? !
The cardinal talents present were all at a low level, and they immediately recognized Lou Jia's current level of cultivation.The sad expression on Fuji's face was not even able to hang on, and he immediately became distorted.

There are already very few people with healing talents in the auxiliary department, and many cardinals who serve in the main hall of the Temple of Light are only at the seventh level.No one could have imagined that the three years of ascetic cultivation not only did not strain Lou Jia's muscles and bones, but also freed up extra time for cultivation because he did not have to deal with affairs, and achieved such outstanding achievements.

"Good boy, you did it. Come here quickly."

Just when the whole place was silent, the old pope lying on the bed opened his eyes.
He raised his hand tremblingly, trying to call Lou Jia, but he couldn't find the strength.

After forcing himself several times, the Pope waved tiredly: "Everyone else, get out."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Fuji's eyes.

According to the rules, before the Pope of Light dies, he will select a papal successor based on comprehensive considerations.Prior to this, Fudge had secretly cooperated with Heita and spent a lot of money to buy the cardinal in order to become the pope.I thought that everything was ready, all I needed was the east wind, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, Loujia would return with a seventh-level king.

A seventh-level talent in his twenties, he is still a mythical mimic enshrined in the Temple of Light, and he has always had a good mass base.If he fails to become the Pope, the people of the empire may overthrow the Temple of Light.

Originally planning to take the seniority route, using the excuse that "the Holy Son was removed from his post, lacked training, and was embarrassed to take on the big job", Fuji had to leave with hatred. Before leaving, he turned around three times to fully express his unwillingness.

Soon, the people in the Pope's Hall gradually retreated out, and Yin Longjing was the last one.After confirming that there was no one else in the Papal Hall and that there was no surveillance camera, the door was slowly opened.

"crunch-"
The last ray of light from outside the door disappeared on the carpet, and silence returned to the Pope's Hall.

The pope, who was still very old just now, suddenly struggled to sit up from the colorful bed, and a little light appeared on his fingertips.In an instant, the majestic holy-level spiritual power, but exuding the aura of death, enveloped the place, creating an absolutely quiet space that did not allow outsiders to pry into it.

After forcing himself to use the skill, the look of defeat on the Pope's face became even thicker to the naked eye.He collapsed on the bed, turning his cloudy eyes to look at Lou Jia beside him.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Upon seeing this, the latter quickly walked to the bed and squatted down, his silver hair falling down like a moon waterfall.

"You are at level [-], which is great. I knew you would be able to do it after awakening Seraph Mimicry."
A weak smile appeared on the old pope's old face.

He patted Loujia's hand: "Have you touched the legendary door now?"

"Yes." Lou Jia closed his eyes and his silver-white eyelashes trembled slightly: "Although there is a suppressor, I can feel the awakening of the last pair of wings the moment I cross the seventh-level barrier."

The six-winged Seraph enshrined in the Temple of Light, in its complete form, has six white wings as the name suggests.
This mythical mimicry does not have six wings when it awakens. At the beginning, it only shows the characteristics of two wings due to its lack of strength.This is similar to the situation where many S-level mimics show A-level or even lower levels when they first awaken. This is a sign that their physical strength cannot temporarily keep up with their mental strength.No matter how talented Lou Jia is, he cannot violate this rule.

So after years of hard training, when Loujia reached the fourth level, he changed from two wings to four wings, and when he reached the seventh level, he finally showed the complete body of the six-winged Seraph.
Only the complete Six-Winged Seraph can exert its greatest strength.Because he was suppressed and unable to synchronize, Loujia was not sure how far he could reach.But he had a vague feeling that whether it was treatment or field strength, what he was seeing was exponential growth and epic level enhancement.

"Okay, okay, okay." The old pope happily said three good words in a row and coughed suddenly in a low voice.
He didn't even look at the front that was instantly stained with bloodshot blood. He held Lou Jia's hand tighter and tighter, and his tone was full of excitement and high spirits: "In this case, do you still remember what I once said to you, Lou Jia?" ?Do you remember?!"

It is not advisable to be too bright when dying, so the lights in the Pope's Hall are dim and only the candlelight dances.
When he said these words, the old pope's cloudy eyes reflected the firelight, and instantly revealed an almost demonic brilliance.

Lou Jia looked at his face, frowning slightly in his heart, but did not pull his hand back: "What are you referring to?"

"Apples. Silver apples."

"You once took the half silver apple stored in the temple, and the golden apple before the divine relic was stolen, when you were four years old." The Pope said in a hoarse voice: "Back then I asked you to go to the Empire The purpose of attending the military academy is to get the silver apples stored in the library of the Imperial Military Academy, have you forgotten?"

"Four years old?" Lou Jia suddenly raised his eyes: "I was obviously brought back by you when I was six years old."

The Pope was stunned for a moment. Uneasiness appeared on his face. After a moment, he said: "That's not important, that's not important. My child, can't you remember the memory of your childhood? You only need to know that before you were six years old, the Temple of Light I noticed your unusually powerful talent and decided to cultivate it.”

Lou Jia didn't say a word. On the surface, it seemed that his attention was diverted, but in fact, he was hiding deep doubts and began to think.

According to convention, the Holy Son of Light, like members of the imperial royal family, has no or poor combat ability, and is a character who needs to be protected. There is no need to go out and follow the ordinary gifted person process to enter a high-level academy.Whether it is his own teacher within the royal family or a bishop within the temple, the role of teacher is more than enough.

Because of this, the fact that this generation of saints enrolled in the Imperial Military Academy caused an uproar at the time.Loujia himself is a highly sought-after genius in the empire and a leader of the younger generation. With his willingness to step down from the altar and have more contact with ordinary people, the officials will naturally not disagree.
But few people know that his enrollment in the Imperial Military Academy was a plan carefully planned by the Pope from the very beginning.

Seeing that Loujia did not continue to hold on, the old pope felt relieved.

"The silver apple of the Imperial Military Academy disappeared for no reason during the invasion of the two major campuses. It must be just an excuse released by the empire. Because if the Zerg got the silver apple, the Queen of the Zerg would have passed the growth period long ago, and it would be impossible for her to still stand still now. . Therefore, it is and is only possible that it is still hidden in the empire."

After saying such a long sentence in one breath, his chest rose and fell violently. He closed his mouth and calmed down for a while before continuing to speak.

"You must take this silver apple and the remaining one and a half. As long as you can take it, you can complete it. As long as you can take it and complete it," the old pope repeated several times, with veins on the back of his hands exposed: "You can complete the Temple of Light after working so hard." A long-cherished wish for thousands of years! It is the only way to reach the legendary divine level and become the Creator enshrined in the Temple of Light! The only way!!!"

When he said these words, the dying old man was haggard and thin, his eye sockets were sunken, his whole body was trembling, and he showed fanaticism.
Lou Jia's hand was pinched tightly by him, and the withered and old breath seemed to be transmitted through the hands of the two of them to the other pair of young and slender hands with ragged finger bones.It was the jealousy and longing of a dying man for a young man who was full of vitality.

"Loujia, I have never told you, because this is a secret that has been passed down by the Temple of Light for thousands of years."

The old pope's face turned an abnormal red, with a vague hint of retrospection: "Back then, three prophecy tablets were unearthed from the ancient ruins, one was treasured by the royal family, one was snatched away by the Zerg, and another prophecy tablet was lost for no reason. The whereabouts of it are still unknown. And the content of this last prophetic tablet is completely consistent with the ultimate secret passed down by the temple for thousands of years."

The secrets that only the Pope of Light could know in the past were finally unveiled in front of Lou Jia.

"That stone tablet says that gold and silver apples are the path to the Creator." The Pope looked at the curtain above his head, with endless longing in his eyes: "And the words left behind by the Temple of Light are that gold and silver apples are the path to the Creator." The path to the divine level,"

"As long as someone can take all the apples, they can cross the barrier of the peak of the holy level, enter the legendary god level that no one has ever stepped into, become the master of the universe, rule the Zerg race, and inherit the position of the Creator!"
"For many years, the Temple of Light has been working tirelessly to find talented children for this ultimate cause of mankind, and Loujia, you are one of the chosen ones."

"One?" Loujia, who was suddenly exposed to a big secret, was not shocked by the huge amount of information in this paragraph. Instead, he calmly asked: "Your Majesty, you mean, besides me, there are also The chosen one?"

"Oh sure, sure."
The old pope was silent for a long time and slowly lay back on the bed.

As if he had thought of something, his enthusiastic and bewildered expression gradually faded away, turning into an expression that was mixed with fear and panic, but also vaguely disgusted.

"Of course there are other gifted children besides you, but you are the most promising one. Others are not capable of awakening Seraph Mimicry."
Regarding this issue, the old pope obviously did not want to talk more: "The dark side of a pair of failed products may still be alive. Those damn unclean monsters crawling out of hell are waiting for you to succeed the pope. After unlocking the authority, you can go to the Little Saint on your own. I know that you have been harboring many questions and want to ask me. My child, go and inherit the Pope, go and take over the authority of the temple, there is everything you want to know."

The Pope finished mumbling to himself, suddenly grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and thrust the papal ring on his finger into Lou Jia's hand: "Promise me to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the temple and end the grudges between humans and Zerg. .”

"I know that you are very close to the Silver Star Chairman of the Empire who recently participated in the competition for the crown prince. If you can make use of this relationship and wait for her to successfully win the crown prince position, with your affection and Silver Apple, you can With the characteristics of proliferation and division, it is not difficult to get the silver apple treasured by the empire."

After hearing this, Lou Jia finally couldn't help it anymore.
He interrupted the Pope forcefully: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

The silver-haired Holy Son opened it bit by bit and slowly withdrew his hand. He didn't even look at the papal ring that had fallen on the carpet. Instead, he stood up from the bed.
Under the flickering candlelight, his expression revealed an unprecedented alienation and indifference: "I don't need to ask you why you tampered with my memory and why the Reflection Temple exists; I don't need to ask why you did it a year ago. When the Zerg invaded, they showed panic and agitation; even including the truth about the real split with Garuda, why do you keep saying that you want to get rid of such a filthy and unclean existence like him?"

Loujia, the Holy Son of Light, has never been a fool who is easy to deceive and deceive.On the contrary, he is smart.Just a few casual gaffes before his death can connect many years of clues and infer too many things.
The old pope listened, with a vague premonition in his heart.

"I can agree to your other requests, but not this one." Lou Jia said calmly: "I will not hurt her, let alone take advantage of her. Not before, not now, and not in the future. "

Did he really not realize that Yuan Hanshuang had taken Silver Apple?
Maybe there wasn't at the time.But then the empire announced that it had lost the Apple, and the Zerg were in peace. Coupled with the opportunity for her to advance to mythical mimicry, the academy ranking competition was abnormal.
Zhuge Ci could tell that something was wrong, and so could Lou Jia.
He would never tell the secret.

Because no matter what Yuan Hanshuang wanted, Lou Jia couldn't wait to offer it to her with his own hands.
Not to mention the keys to the temple, even the stars in the sky have to be picked off.Not to mention a mere silver apple.

The old pope's eyes suddenly opened wide, his pupils bulging and bloodshot inside.
He couldn't believe that Lou Jia, who had obeyed his advice since childhood, would actually say such words before his death, which was tantamount to face-to-face disobedience.

"you you."
The old pope raised his hands, too angry to speak.
He persisted like this for 2 minutes, his voice stuck in his throat, and eventually became smaller and smaller, until it disappeared completely.

The old man who lived for two centuries finally died.
Until the last moment before his death, the rickety old man still kept his eyes open and refused to close his eyes.

No matter how powerful, glorious and respected he was in life, it will be the same after death.The body was short, shrunken, rickety, and as ugly as when he was born.

Lou Jia stood still. After a few minutes of silence, he bent down, closed the old pope's eyes, and picked up the ring on the carpet that symbolized the successor of the next pope.

Outside the great chapel of the Papal Hall, the holy bell on the top of the mountain rang violently.Typically, the bells are rung only at certain times, such as New Year's Day or the Feast of Grace.

"Clang-clang-clang-"
The long bells echoed throughout the papal kingdom, ringing a full [-] times.

That was the signal that the Pope was dead.

The door to the Pope's Hall was reopened, and Yin Longjing strode in.
Seeing the old pope with his eyes closed on the bed, the electrocardiogram showing calmness beside him; and Lou Jia standing in front of the curtain, holding the papal ring in his hand, a look of confusion flashed across his face, and he was the first to kneel on the ground.

"See Your Majesty the Pope."

It's like a signal.Starting with him, the other cardinals woke up one after another and immediately knelt on the ground.
No matter how reluctant he was, Fuji could only kneel down under the focus of many eyes, ears and cameras.

"See Your Majesty the Pope."
"See Your Majesty the Pope."

"There is no need to call me that. The Pope's coronation ceremony has not yet been held, and the empire has not restored my position as the Son."
Seeing this, Lou Jia shook his head and was about to continue when he suddenly heard violent explosions coming from outside.

The sound was so intense that the main hall of the Temple of Light, which was shrouded by a large protective formation, could clearly hear it. It even felt a faint vibration coming from the stone surface under its feet, which scared the cardinals and fled in all directions.

Yin Longjing's expression changed, and he immediately followed the mimicry and guarded Lou Jia.
The next second, the siren that resounded throughout the world immediately shrouded the Temple of Light, and the dazzling red flashed on and off in the building, reminding everyone that this was no accident.

Without saying a word, Loujia picked up his feet and walked out.

"Your Majesty, your suppressor!" Yin Longjing caught up with him, anxious.
This suppressor is an enhanced version specially developed by the Empire because Loujia was unable to survive after breaking through the suppression last time. It stores an excessive amount of anesthetic. Once it is forcibly opened, it will be injected immediately, causing the person to lose consciousness.

"No problem." Lou Jia said quickly: "Go out first and see what happened."

Soon, they knew what was happening outside.
In the dark sky, a large mouth full of ominousness, with twisted and ferocious edges, was suddenly torn open. The edges were rolled with sticky dark green, and the central space was turbulent and rolling.

Five years ago, Lou Jia saw exactly the same existence in the sky of the two major campuses.

"Wormhole." He murmured to himself and turned around suddenly: "Quick, protect the civilians at the foot of the mountain and activate sky protection!"
