1929 Glorious Will
A Holy Light altar was set up every ten miles or so in the entire Land of Holy Light.
From Meng Chao’s understanding, they were similar to signal towers.
The Holy Light race could open their minds through meditation and connect with the Holy Light altars.
As long as their faith was pure enough and their meditation was deep enough, the Holy Light race would be able to hear sounds similar to the Ancient Ruins’ Summon and see a series of bizarre images in a trance. From these sounds and images, they would be able to receive a “guide” or even more specific, missions.
This guide also taught the Holy Light race cultivation methods and general as well as philanthropic instructions that existed in any religion.
As for missions, they included maintaining local order, identifying those with shaken faith, punishing heretics, and killing monsters that invaded the place. At the moment, the “monsters” were mainly the Chaos races.
The information from the Holy Light altars could even point out the specific coordinates of invaders to the meditator, and it could also analyze the number of invaders, their strength, and countermeasures, etc.
As long as the Holy Light race completed the mission step by step according to the information that surged into their minds, they would receive different evaluations and rewards. They would then continue to level up and obtain more information, orders, missions, and benefits.
All in all, to Meng Chao, the entire Holy Light system was like a larger version of the Supernatural Tower’s mission and reward system.
However, it was a hundred times larger than the Supernatural Tower’s mission system. It went deep into the Land of Holy Light’s lowest level and could fully mobilize the potential of every Holy Light race. This allowed all Holy Light races to unite as one.
It was worth noting that the voices, images, missions, and orders that were transmitted to the minds of every Holy Light race were not directly sent out by the Holy Light altar closest to them.
These elementary Holy Light altars were scattered all over the place, and they only existed as information relay stations and signal amps.
In fact, even the headquarters of the Holy Light Temple was not the source of these orders. It was only the ground receiving station for information from beyond the sky.
That’s right, all the information that guided the entire Holy Light race to advance in unison came from the sky, from the space station in the synchronous orbit outside the atmosphere.
According to the Holy Light priests, in the middle of the eternally burning ocean of light, there was a will that humans could not understand and look directly at. It was omniscient and omnipotent. All things were created by it, and one should listen to and obey its guidance. Only in this way could the harmony and perfection of the entire world be maintained.
The so-called Chaos races were too stupid and evil to listen to this will of light.
Through the cleansing of steel and fire, the Chaos races could hear the voice of the will of light, which allowed all living beings on this land to enter the perfect orbit. This was the meaning of the existence and battle of the Holy Light’s believers.
Under the guidance of the will, the Holy Light priests focused more on meditation, capturing more and more accurate sounds, images, and missions, and transmitting them to the minds of the surrounding believers.
Sorcerers or mages usually did not pursue particularly detailed sounds, pictures, or missions. They only needed a relatively vague guide, such as “clearing the Chaos races in a certain area,” and they would be able to fight for a long time
They were more inclined to put their main energy into analyzing the skills that the Holy Light had transmitted to their minds, how to quickly increase their authority, how to capture and lock onto the enemy, how to maximize the killing effect of the skills, and so on.
In any case, if they encountered a mission that required them to pay special attention to the information’s accuracy, the Holy Light priests would naturally send them more specific instructions from afar.
It was the same for the combat professionals known as knights. The information that appeared in their minds was often related to how to stimulate the activity of human cells, improve the strength of their bodies, and use various weapons and armor.
Of course, be it priests, mages, knights, or other believers of the Holy Light, they could not only passively accept the revelation from the heavens.
Every day at dawn and dusk, which was the intersection of light and darkness, they could and had to pray and transmit everything they had thought, seen, and heard to the ocean of light through the Holy Light altar without any error. The ocean of light referred to the space station in the synchronous orbit outside the atmosphere.
If they encountered an enemy that they could not solve or defeat, the Holy Light believers could also pray on the spot. The could ask the glorious will of light to send down enough wisdom and power to help them overcome their confusion and defeat the enemy.
According to Meng Chao’s understanding, the ancient civilization must have left behind a comprehensive information collection, storage, analysis, and decision-making device similar to a supercomputer on the space station in the synchronous orbit.
This supercomputer was connected to the brains of all living beings in the Land of Holy Light through the Holy Light altars distributed across the land. This achieved the effect of all things being interconnected.
In an ideal situation, the eyes and ears of every Holy Light believer would be the supercomputer’s information collection module.
The vast amount of information between heaven and earth was transformed into astronomical information flows through billions of information collection modules and transmitted to the space station through the Holy Light altars. With the support of the enormous computing power left behind by the ancient civilization, the space station carried out comprehensive analysis and deduction that humans could not imagine. Then, the best path and results after deduction were further decomposed into simple commands that could be executed by carbon-based organisms. These commands would then be transmitted to the brain of every Holy Light believer.
While the Holy Light believers carried out their orders, they would be divided and ranked based on their performance.
Granting high-level believers higher authority to call and control enable them to handle more difficult tasks. At the same time, it would also allow low-level believers to witness the omnipotent divine power and stimulate them to complete the instructions implanted deep in their brains more efficiently.
Through this method, the Holy Light faction that still seemed to be in the Middle Ages entered the post-information age.
It was no wonder that the Chaos races were no match for the Holy Light races despite their tyrannical physiques and bloodthirsty, combative personalities. The difference in social organization between the two races was simply too great!
Meng Chao, who gradually understood the Holy Light civilization’s operation mode, also understood why the space-based orbital strike would arrive at a different time and with a different intensity every time he simulated the future.
It was a matter of authority.
Even the high priest of Holy Light, who was the only one who had the authority to access the space-based orbital weapon, could not ask the will of light to send the most thorough “purification” to the land.
