Chapter 873 Martyrdom

    The falling snowflakes gradually turned smaller, and the wind whirred.

    Old John's eyes swept over the high platform of the powerful, over the onlookers, and finally stopped at the trial bishop who argued with himself.

    He, with a little sigh, said :

    "Order is indeed hierarchical, but the creatures that make up it should be equal in personality."

    "Absolute fairness is indeed difficult, but it should not give up the pursuit of justice because of difficulties."

    "Fairness means opportunity. Every life has a bright future and every life has hope."

    "No aristocrats, no privileges, all existences, whether extraordinary or ordinary, whether immortal or short, can respect each other, mutual benefit and win-win results."

    "And that's what our church of life really pursues."

    " sophistry Ridiculous ! How can a superhuman be like a common man ? How does the eternity coexist with the shortness ? These perplexing words are but an excuse for you to mess with your empire and realize your ambitions!"

    Said the bishop of the trial.

    "But what if it can be done?"

    Old John asked back.

    " no way!"

    The trial bishop subconsciously denied.

    Old John smiled :

    "It seems that you have not been to Maple Moon Free Collar."

    "Maple Moon Free Collar ? It's a lie made up by the Elvens, a colony oppressed by the Elvens, and only the fools and the bewitched flock to it."

    The trial bishop sneered.

    Old John shook his head :

    "How do you know everything there when you have not been there?"

    With that, his expression suddenly became pious :

    "Maple Moon Free Collar, that is a true earthly heaven, that is the future of the human world!"

    "Future ? Ridiculous ! It's just an illusion made by the Church of Life to compel believers!"

    The trial bishop retorted.

    Old John sighed :

    "But even if it is an illusion, what has the eternal church, which has always described the illusory future with the beauty of death, done for the people at the bottom in reality compared to the church of life that created this illusion?"

    The trial bishop was slightly stunned.

    He was about to continue his rebuttal, but suddenly he didn't know where to start.

    As a church highly bound to the ruling class, a church whose main source of faith depends on the profession, a church whose believers are spread throughout the universe, the Eternal Church has indeed been separated from them for too long for the vast majority of ordinary believers who have no extraordinary power ... ...

    Intelligent beings can provide the power of faith, the level of faith is proportional to the strength of the soul, and the power of faith of a hundred mortals may not be as powerful as that of a devout extraordinary.

    In the millennium expansion, the interests of the Eternal Church have long been deeply bound to the aristocrats and professionals.

    As old John said, they... ...did not pay attention to ordinary people for a long time.
