Chapter 1207: The Future (Part One)
“That is right. You.” Stabila gave an answer that surprised everyone.
While everyone looked at him in shock, Stabila smiled and said, “Although I only escaped from the dungeon below Sicily Island about half a year ago, I already know a lot about you, Child. In fact, I know more about you than most of your followers in the Northern Region Empire. I know that you were born as a [God’s Favorite Child] and have the purest golden holy power, allowing you to become the Bishop of the [Black-Cloth Shrine]. According to the [Code of God] of the Holy Church, the bishops of all shrines are qualified to fight for the Throne of the Pope on the Holy Mountain at Sicily Island. Therefore, you are able to become the pope. Also, looking from the facts, the [Black-Cloth Shrine] is getting more and more powerful and full of vitality. In addition, with your supreme strength, I can’t think of another person who can fight for the Throne of the Pope with you.”
Fei nodded subconsciously.
Sudden understanding also dawned on Batistuta, and he figured out what this old man meant.
Then, Stabila continued, “At the same time, you are the ruler of the Northern Region Empire, and your decisions will dictate the actions of the entire Northern Region Empire. If you are both the Pope of the Holy Church and the Emperor of the Northern Region Empire, the Church and the State can perfectly become one, turning into the most powerful force on the continent. By then, the Azeroth Continent can be united at your will.”
Now, everyone realized what this old pope meant. He wanted to… retire and give his position to Human Emperor Alexander of the North!
Without a question, this was a shocking idea!
If this proposal went through and became the reality, the historical moment of the continent uniting as one would arrive soon instead of being a distant dream.
The Human Emperor of the North’s unique identity allowed this crazy proposal to be extremely realistic and actionable.
People were shocked by this proposal, and they also admired old Pope Stabila’s generosity and kindness.
In this world, not everyone could easily let go of the control of a giant force such as the Holy Church. In order to make this decision, Stabila had to have the wisdom that allowed him to see through all vicissitudes of life and the attitude of placing the greater good before personal interests.
At this moment, Stabila’s old and ugly body looked extremely holy.
This man was going to become one of the greatest sages in human history.
If this man really decided to make this choice, then Stabila would completely change the future of humans, and he would be recorded in the history books.
However, was there really such a great human?
Some people were doubtful.
“Why not yourself?” Fei was surprised, and he asked Stabila, trying to test the latter, “You are the previous Bishop of the [Black-Cloth Shrine] and the current Pope of the Holy Church. If a sage like you lead all humans on the continent, the future might be better.”
“I had thought about that. Many years ago, I did have the ambition of becoming the first human to control the entire continent,” Stabila sighed, “However, you can tell that fate isn’t on my side. Being imprisoned inside the dungeon below Sicily Island completely changed me. While this experience helped me see through all the influence and power in the mortal world, it also made me ancient. I only have about half a year left, but you, my child, is like a rising sun; you have a ton of time to create endless glories and many miracles. You are the only suitable candidate.” Stabila sounded extremely firm and decisive.
Chapter 1207: The Future (Part Two)
After saying this one more time, everyone realized that this old Pope wasn’t acting but was truly selfless.
Also, the explanation about his pending death got rid of the last bit of doubt in those people who were more negative and were naturally conspiracy theorists.
An old man who was about to die no longer needed to fight for the power and influence that he couldn’t hold.
At this moment, Fei also completely believed this old man and understood the true reason why the latter organized this meeting that pulled the continent’s attention.
Stabila spent a ton of energy on trying to get everyone to come here, used a long time to tell the stories about the Mythical Era, and took out those two scrolls and the corpse of a Polluter. All of that was for the unity of the human race.
Only when faced with the bloody and cruel reality, those people who were only concerned about their own interests would be moved, making the continent becoming one a possible reality.
What happened here today would be spread to every corner on the continent through these top-tier human masters.
Perhaps a new era would arrive on the continent after the meeting of these three magnates, and humans would receive unprecedented glory.
Even Continental Martial Saint Maradona who always joked around looked expectant, no longer teasing Stabila.
“I have about half a year left. Before I die, I can arrange everything for you and get prepared. I will clean up Blatter and Platini’s henchmen and reorganize the Holy Church. Child, I hope that you can take care of the rest in this half a year. Although my plan is in place, all kinds of obstacles and resistances will appear on the path of implementation. I hope that I can see you walk up the Five-Colored Godly Staircase and sit on the Throne of the Pope on the Holy Mountain,” Stabila sounded passionate and considerate.
Fei thought for a moment and nodded earnestly, not pretending to be humble or putting up any formalities.
Even though Fei wasn’t interested in the influence and power in the mortal world, he looked forward to the resolve of conflict between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy church as well as the Holy Church’s redemption and its return to its clean roots. He wouldn’t act to try to make himself look humble or desireless.
…
The shocking meeting between the three magnates at the City of San Siro ending with a result that no one expected.
Soon, the result of this meeting was publicized on the Azeroth Continent. The future projection of the merge between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church made some forces happy while other forces became anxious.
For those empires and forces that were on the side of Blatter and Platini such as Barcelona and Juventus, this was a nightmare. They already formed intense grudges with the Northern Region Empire. If they lost the Holy Church as their supporter, it was easy to imagine what fate awaited them.
Except for those forces, many independent empires also became worried about their future.
If the Human Emperor of the North wanted to unite the continent, then he would conquer all empires using either soft or hard methods. Those independent empires would be targeted without a question.
Of course, those royal families, noble forces, and masters who decided to follow the Human Emperor of the North early on became extremely excited about this future. The more powerful that Fei became, the better it was for them! Their status would be firmer, and they would be more influential.
For a moment, all kinds of undercurrents were surging on the continent.
Maradona and Stabila went to the headquarters of the Holy Church on Sicily Island to take care of the complicated issues.
On the other hand, Fei returned to the Northern Region Empire.
All wars disappeared on the continent in a short time.
