Chapter 775 Saint Ana's Prophecy
What kind of existence is the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranxia'? Tilan really wants to see it, but even with her current identity, it is difficult for her to touch this extremely precious treasure.
"It is a treasure sealed deep underground, guarded by the guardian power of the early Sixth Era. If you want to see it, you need the passcode approved by the Golden Flame Flower Cathedral and the Sigma Mechanical Council." The three masters told Tilan.
Tilan was not surprised to hear these requests. After all, it would be strange if such an important thing could be seen at will.
But even if she couldn't see it with her own eyes, she could still learn a lot of information about the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranxia' from here.
"It is said that it is a holy object between reality and illusion, without substance, like a layer of veil woven by starlight." The mature woman among the three introduced it.
"When the three covenants are combined together, the dots of starlight in them will gather into strange words, revealing the contents above."
"If the words above need to be changed, how to do it?" Tilan continued to ask.
"We don't know about this. Maybe Her Highness Isanissa changed some of the content, but she didn't leave any records of the process."
"But one thing is clear: to change the content above, it must be the singer who unified the consciousness of most of the life in the galaxy, so that it can be recognized by the subconscious of countless lives in the galaxy."
"Is that so..." Tilan thought.
If it was in the Fifth Era, most of the life in the galaxy were followers of the Dark Sun, and it would be difficult to change and shake the text above. However, in the Sixth Era, the followers of the
Dark Sun were all destroyed, and the remaining life at that time was almost all native humans. During this period, Isanissa also gained the ability to change the covenant. It is unknown what Isanissa changed, but Tilan guessed that it might be related to suppressing the birth of the Dark Sun.
During the Aimuralin period, although she unified the Federation, she probably did not obtain the covenant fragment of the Sigma Mechanical Council, so at most she knew the content of the covenant but could not change it.
In the next few days, Tilan browsed a lot of information in the Holy White Melody to understand the history of the Holy White Melody and its development over the years.
As she got to know more, she gradually understood why the descendants of the White Rescue Society and the Holy White Melody had such a great influence.
Putting aside the conceptual hypothesis proposed by Ceria, the White Rescue Society did have unique research in the field of soul spirit. They even assisted in the development of the early "throne system" to share and relieve the pressure of the singer.
Some information shows that the White Rescue Society had conducted in-depth research on how to create pure and flawless souls, such angel-like existences. Their research had made a breakthrough at the end of the Fifth Era, but was then severely hit by the Dark Sun.
Because such an "angel" must be the enemy of the Dark Sun after its birth, the perfect seed of the Crown of God, so the White Rescue Society was in an extremely difficult situation at that time. Later, due to the broadcast of the Three Sages, the spread of the isolation secret method, and the rise of the Federation, they received less attention and survived, and moved to this star field to pass it down.
I always feel that their belief in the Three Sages is not pious. Tilan shook her head slightly after reading the information.
After all, the three saints did not leave any direct descendants or students. Now, these followers, like those inspired by religion in history, have different understandings and ideas.
The descendants of the Strontium Rescue Society are the most direct and simple, that is, to build various buildings and statues to commemorate the saints. The Aix Dialogue Rescue Society inherited the spirit of the three saints to unite and rescue each other in desperate situations. Although the White Glory Rescue Society is highly related to the isolation secret method in terms of research direction and secret techniques, they do not completely agree with the spirit of the three saints, but have their own ideas.
Considering the difference, Tilan tapped the handrail with her fingertips, and then asked someone to notify the leader of the White Glory Rescue Society that she would visit tomorrow.
"Yes, Your Highness."
...
The next day, Tilan came to a holy pure white church. Although it was much smaller than the Saint's Shrine where the three saints were housed, it was also magnificent. There were many white long banners hanging inside, with angel wings and the sun emblem in the center with pure white as the base and golden flames as the edge.
After entering here, Tilan saw members in white robes standing respectfully on both sides of the aisle to welcome her. In the middle stood a slightly petite saint. She looked younger than Tilan, but her status was exceptionally high. She had silver braids and wore a saint's long dress with a white base and silver edges. She was elegant and sacred, holding a white cross scepter taller than herself.
"Hello, Your Highness Tilan." The other party bowed first.
"Celia disturbed you some time ago. Please let me apologize for this." She closed her eyes throughout the meeting, and her words seemed to be chanting hymns, with a sacred and ethereal tone.
Compared with the people Tilan had seen in the cult, she was closer to the image of a "saint" than Philuselin, mysterious, distant, shrouded in light and secrets.
However, the reason why Philuselin was like that was probably because she had reached the state of returning to nature, and there was no need to use these image means to decorate herself.
When Tilan was thinking about how to answer, the other party tapped the ground with the scepter in his hand, and then someone opened the side door and dragged out a nun.
The extremely weak nun seemed to be soaked in sweat, and her panting revealed her fatigue and pain, although there was no scar on her body.
Maybe she was punished by some means, Tilan thought.
"Since you have punished her, I will not ask about it anymore." Tilan shook her head and then turned her eyes to the saint opposite.
"Don't know your name yet?"
"My name is Saint Ana, which is also the name inherited by the saints of all generations." After saying that, she bowed again.
"The first generation of Saint Ana once glimpsed the sacred eternal covenant and predicted the dark end of the fifth era. Later, the saints of all generations were named after it."
"Prophecy?" Tilan seemed to have heard something similar somewhere.
"That's right. Do you know that among the three crowns of the glorious era, the last one, the Star Crown, is the Crown of God that dominates destiny."
"Although the three crowns are no longer there, the fate woven by the stars has predetermined the future, and everything will slowly arrive according to the traces."
"I don't like the word destiny, as if all success, hard work, and failure cannot escape the predetermined judgment, which gives people a kind of spiritual bondage." Tilan frowned.
"These are just words used by people in past times to comfort themselves when faced with facts that they could not resolve or accept."
"I see." Saint Ana nodded, understanding why Tilan was angry before.
"I don't force everyone to believe in prophecies, but the things in the prophecy did happen in history." After saying that, she sang an ancient ballad.
"Ancient stars"
"Rotating destiny"
"Three keys to unlock
" "Flowers that never fade" "
Must bloom in your eyes"
"Winds of the four seasons"
"Please sing for me"
"Sing the hero who controls the spear of fire"
"Sing the witch who sank into the deep sea"
"Sing the three united saints"
"Sing the stopped steel sonata"
"Wake up in the morning sun again and again"
"Take a hesitant step"
"Tears and joy interweave into a colorful canvas"
"Sing the rebirth of life"
...
"Many people think that this song was created in the Sixth Era to commemorate the victory of that great battle. However, in fact, the prototype of this song is much earlier than the Sixth Era. Even the term Three Sages is taken from this song." Saint Ana closed her eyes and answered.
"Is that so?" Tilan did not believe it and rejected this fact.
"If the prophecy really has such a great influence, why didn't the dark suns in the Fifth Era take it seriously?" Tilan asked back.
"This is because they misinterpreted the prophecy." Saint Ana closed her eyes and spoke again.
"You should also know a lot about the past of the Fifth Age, so let me tell you how this song was interpreted in the Fifth Age."
"In that era, the three keys were believed to refer to the crowns of the three gods, because they opened a new era for mankind."
"The hero who wielded the spear of fire was believed to refer to 'Deselina', a hero with a fiery personality. It was she who spread the secret of the 'Dark Sun' to the entire galaxy, leading to the fierce fighting and iteration among the Dark Suns later."
"Singing about the witch who sank into the deep sea, this sentence is understood to mean that the remaining witches at that time joined the Deep Sea Alliance and went to the distant universe."
"Singing about the three united saints, this refers to Hefasim, Trikarans, and Emorentin among the Dark Suns. They became Dark Suns at a very close time, and once formed an alliance to expel the other Dark Suns. This is very rare in the Fifth Age of mutual distrust. As for Xi Efulian, she became a Dark Sun later than the three and was not strong enough, so she was not included in the three saints."
"Singing the stopped steel sonata refers to the mechanical sun Rou of the Mechanical Council, which failed and perished in the battle with the three saints. It also warns that the mechanical species can never become the main body of civilization."
"Waking up in the morning sun again and again refers to that era, generation after generation of dark suns, constantly replacing and iterating."
"Tears and joy are interwoven into a colorful canvas, praising the rebirth of life. This sentence is the most critical point and the core of why the dark suns believe they are not wrong."
"They believe that although their actions have brought a lot of killing and destruction, they have also created many new possibilities, and evolution is like this. Generation after generation of dark suns alternate, just like tears and joy interweaving, and finally a new and perfect human race will be born. At that time, it will be the rebirth of human civilization."
"This..." Tilan's words are rarely stuck and it is difficult to answer.
Looking back from the perspective of the present, it is certain that this understanding is wrong, but in the era of the Fifth Era, this prophecy is so accurate and perfect, and it also fills the gap of the lack of righteousness for the dark suns.
She understood why prophecies from ancient times to the present all like to use metaphors. This way, there is too much room for interpretation and it can greatly increase the tolerance rate.
"Is the prophecy in this song really left by the first generation of saints?" Tilan still found it hard to believe.
"Yes, the first generation of Saint Ana at that time also left this prophecy after seeing the 'Eternal Covenant of Lorenxia'."
Tilan closed her eyes and thought, and then continued to ask.
"Then what happened later? Did she have other prophecies?"
"The prophecy of the first generation of Saint Ana was like this, and the thirteenth generation of Saint Ana made a new prophecy on the day the Federation was established, which was the first year of the Sixth Era."
"What did she base her prophecy on?" Tilan was puzzled.
"At that time, Her Highness Isanissa had already obtained the sacred eternal covenant and knew the previous prophecy. That's why she lent the covenant to Saint Ana at that time to watch and asked if there were any new prophecies."
"So?" Tilan continued to ask.
"A brand new prophecy was born with the nursery rhyme in the picture book." The saint answered with her eyes closed.
『This is the chronicle of the world』
『There are songs I want to sing』
『There are hills I want to protect』
『There are roses I want to admire』
『There are wars I want to end』
『This is the black prophecy』
『Played with the mournful cries of seven kingfishers』
『The white kite with wings as pure white as a painting fell from the sky.』
『The flame-feathered bird with orange-red feathers like fire was pierced by a sharp arrow.』
『The bone owl with a body as black as night was crushed by falling rocks.』
『The branch-breaking bird with eyebrows and feathers as dark blue as black shed tears for being abandoned.』
『The sea-crossing bird that pushed away the waves and sailed far away broke its wings for protecting.』
『The golden-core bird that ran towards the scorching sun died of exhaustion.』
『The silver-winged bird with a beautiful silver crown on its head died for singing. 』
『Red and purple are entangled』
『The thorns will eventually become cursed wounds』
『Turned into galls and weeping spears』
『Beautiful things...ugly things...』
『Wise things...foolish things...』
『Strong things...weak things...』
『Black and white meteors embrace each other and streak towards the horizon of doomsday』
『This is the last and first story』
『The song of the end resounds throughout the universe』
After listening to this familiar ballad, Tilan shook her head.
"This is not a beautiful prophecy. It makes people feel sad and upset."
"That is to say, Isanisha heard this prophecy and predicted the end of the Federation on a certain day."
"Yes."
"..." Tilan opened her mouth, said nothing, and just sighed silently.
The most sad and true thing is that the moment the child was born, the mother knew that the child would die one day, and everything was just a matter of time.
"Although I heard a lot of depressing and uncomfortable things today, I still thank you." Tilan's emotions calmed down again.
"Yes, the road ahead is destined to be tortuous and painful, but past events also told me something interesting."
"That is the interpretation of the prophecy, which is not so rigid .
I saw a glimmer of hope in that despair."
