Chapter 1: "Heliocentric"
In front of the glorious Aurora Light Cathedral, there has been no such sacred religious trial for a long time.
The white marble square is full of people and every breath seems to be under great pressure. The believers are pushing, wanting to see the supreme glory of the bright red cardinal.
"The" Guangming Ceremony "said that the God of Light and Creation created the heaven, and humans should have lived carefreely in the kingdom of heaven, but because of desire, they opened the world of the original sin box and the star screen, and thus fell into the box, only through selfless dedication Only by self-redemption can we return to heaven. "
The Archbishop of the Red Man showed mercy and looked at Ben Nivens on the torture rack.
It is a pity for the ignorant, as if looking at an ignorant child.
"Duke Ben Nivens, your" Heliocentric Theory ", thinks that the sun is the center of the universe, the star-screen world is a huge spherical object, and there are countless objects similar to the star-screen world orbiting the sun, which is contrary to the" Light Festival " In view of your noble identity as hereditary Duke, you can now complete the final self-salvation by revising the heresy that involves blasphemy against the God of Light. "
On the cross, the heart of Ben Nivens at this moment was extremely calm.
He looked at the trial jury of the religious court, to the light pope who overlooked himself from the top, to the endless holy light at the top of the light cathedral of Aurora, and to the scholars of various colleges hidden in the crowd.
He can make compromises, on the condition of revising the natural research in the book that violates the "Guangming Ceremony", continue his own duke title, or he can make an attempt and let the scholars hidden in the crowd fight for himself.
But when he saw the angry eyes of the endless believers on the square, it was the intolerance of the heretics, he knew his choice.
Ben Nivens knew that if he rebelled, the "Heliocentric Theory" would be an eternal doctrine in their hearts. The time for ignorance to rule human thought will be longer, and the truth will be more difficult to break through the heavy night, bringing wisdom, reason, and civilization. Glorious.
Ben Nivens slowly turned his head to look at the twelve red cardinals on the high platform.
In their eyes, Ben Nivens seemed to see the feeling of pity for himself, and the "Heliocentric" that he insisted on for life, in their eyes, was just the whims of the ignorant and ignorant.
There must be a martyr in this world who utters a rational cry and dies to uphold the truth!
"Cosmic starry sky, there is no light tomorrow country!"
Ben Nivens roared, looking at the people in the square who were overwhelmed by anger and hatred because of their words.
"Damn betrayal, he still insists on his heretic academics and burns him!"
"May the Lord have mercy on this lost lamb ..."
"It's ridiculous, he said that the star screen world is a huge sphere? If so, why didn't we fall, ha ha ha ha!"
"He even said that there is no heaven, and I will never allow him to defile the sacred, filthy, stupid guy of the great light creator, all the profanities of the light **** are heretics, to be burned to death!"
Some people picked up the stone and threw it hard at the torture rack to vent their anger.
Scattered scholars are so insignificant in the crowd, looking at the endless light believers around them, and the pioneers who are suffering the wrath of the believers on the torture rack, leaving unwilling tears.
However, Ben Nivens just took everything calmly, looked at the sky enveloped by the Holy Light, and sent a roaring heart.
"The law of truth can never be extinguished by violence, and the law of order between the universe and celestial bodies, even the so-called bright **** creator, can never be changed!"
The twelve red-collar masters showed disappointment.
This poor, foolish, dead creature is no longer worth saving, and his soul will fall into **** and be tortured forever.
However!
at this time!
With the shock of the Holy Light at the top of the Aurora church, it was actually the wrath of the bright creator. In the tears of many believers shouting "miracles" in tears, the calm calm pope stood up abruptly and dropped from the sky. The magnificent power submerged Ben Nivens on the torture rack.
Ben Nivens looked up to the sky, a grand power that was not secular, smiled calmly, and faced death.
"You will also be angry, you will also be afraid, after all, you are just a higher creature, just a living body that pretends to be a bright god, not an omnipotent creator."
Bright flames, drowning Ben Nivens completely.
Innumerable believers prostrate and kneel down, weeping in tears to witness the bright miracles in their lifetime, vowing to eradicate every heresy, to be firm in light and justice, and never die.
Even the scholars who are confused among the believers can only succumb to the divine power and knelt down unwillingly.
At this moment, the imperial power succumbed to the divine power, and natural science was defeated by the light theology.
However.
Among the crowd, some rational people who were faithful believers of the light god, at the moment when they witnessed the fall of the light power, they looked at the burned out by the light power, and they felt shocked and insisted on the truth. The faith of light that I insisted on was a shake.
Why can't the great God of Light show mercy and forgiveness?
……
Hundreds of years later.
The Grand Duchy, the town of Onyx Lake.
"I know your mood well."
The eyes of the pastor revealed the kindness day by day, the whitening and delicate right hand, patting the boy on the shoulder to show comfort.
"Although you already possess the power of prayer and prove your devotion to the Lord, in order to support the church ’s expedition, Gentleman Bob spreads light and voluntarily contributes one hundred gold coins. UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com The missionary quota has been obtained in advance, you can only wait for next year. "
Forty years have passed since the last night of the Bright Crusades. It is said that the incoming new pope has been eager to wash away the shame of the previous expedition.
Lei Luo raised his head and looked at the priest full of unwillingness.
"Last year's quota was taken away by the uncle of the arbitrator of Lars, you said the same!"
Pastor's eyes are still so compassionate.
"One hundred gold coins is enough for the church to cultivate several excellent knights of light, and maybe another arbiter can be born. You give up your own quota, which is also a kind of self-sacrifice and dedication, and completed a self-redemption."
"But!"
Although he looks thin and weak, Lei Luo is a seventeen-year-old boy with qi and blood, full of unwillingness.
"They don't have the power to pray, they can't preach the greatness of the Lord! And my mother chose to sacrifice herself when she had a hard time seventeen years ago because of her pious belief in the Lord. I ’m trying to atone for myself! My father, the most devout believer in the town, the greatest wish is that I can become a missionary, go to a remote barren land, and proclaim the greatness of the Lord. Now that he is seriously ill in bed, I Only by becoming a priest can one ask for the mercy of the God of Light ... "
"enough!"
The priest exasperated and said: "Your eyes are full of anger and jealousy, and you have never understood the true meaning of self-sacrifice and salvation! You just think of your small family, and you have never thought of the thousands of believers who have been persecuted by heretics. When will you understand the selfless dedication of the Lord, come again! "
Finally, the priest walked to the bright and holy church, and no longer ignored the sorrowful pleading under the steps.
