The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2366: The Actions of the Holy Advent Sect
Through the window of the hovercraft, Major General Chiara looked at the temple getting closer and closer in front of her, and her face began to darken.

This temple is not actually very big. Although it still looks magnificent, it is far from being magnificent. However, this temple means something that makes Qiara extremely vigilant.

Holy Advent Sect!

That's right, this is the church that came from the Kingdom of Dawn after Chis Territory was conquered by the Kingdom of Dawn. In Ziara's opinion, their methods are very sophisticated, and they seem to have some special abilities, which has led to the rapid spread of the Holy Advent Sect.

It is said that they would hold large-scale sacrificial activities from time to time, publicly displaying various miracles. Moreover, many of these miracles are useful, such as clearing the mind and concentrating the spirit on a large scale, curing minor illnesses, and even cleaning the dirt from the bodies of all the people in the audience.

Although they seem to be insignificant little things, they are enough to drive many people crazy.

However, this is not what Chiara fears most about the Holy Advent Sect. What she really fears is a previous action of the Holy Advent Sect - saving the planets controlled by the Grisk hegemony!
Those who were controlled by the Grisk hegemony almost all fell into a manic state after killing the Grisk people. Then the Holy Advent Sect went to build some temples, and actually filled the hearts of those controlled people with their faith!
Without exception, all those planets became devout believers of the Holy Advent Sect!

Chiara only happened to hear Governor Sheen Morabito talking to someone and vaguely heard that the temples built on those planets were different from the one on the planet Hisla. At that time, Governor Morabito seemed to have rejected someone's request to build this special temple on the planet Hisla.

But even so, in Qiara's opinion, these methods of the Holy Advent Sect are actually similar to the mind control of the Grisk people! No... maybe even more terrifying! Because under the preaching and brainwashing of the Holy Advent Sect, everyone is willing to be controlled! !
If the Holy Advent Sect really controlled the planets that were liberated from the Grisk hegemony, then the spread of the Holy Advent Sect would now even reach more than ten planets!
This is not the end. Previously, Kilgi, the Kingdom of Light, was instigated by the Grisk people to declare war on the Chiss Territory, but was pushed back and conquered by the Kingdom of Dawn.

After that, the Holy Advent sect settled in Kilgi, the Kingdom of Light. In fact, Kilgi, the Kingdom of Light, was only controlled by the Grisks at that time, and the whole was not under control, so when the Kingdom of Dawn defeated its main fleet and the army was at the gates, it surrendered very simply.

Major General Qiara didn't know what happened to Kilgi in the Kingdom of Light after that, but what she did know was that the Holy Advent Sect went there immediately and arrested the Grand Pope of the Kingdom of Light. Therefore, the situation over there must be not optimistic.

What's even more ironic is that it was Chiara herself who led the fleet to defeat Kilgi of the Kingdom of Light!

Major General Chiara did not hate the Holy Advent Cult, she was just afraid. She was worried that the Chiss Territory would be completely occupied by the Holy Advent Cult one day, and then all the Chiss people would become devout and fanatical believers of this sect!
She didn't know what such a future would mean, but what she knew was that she must not let this happen!
But... Chiara turned her head to look at Governor Sheen Morabito, who was sitting next to her calmly and even humming a little tune, and her heart felt a little cold. In her opinion, the future of Chis Territory was once again shrouded in a shadow.

The hovercraft stopped at the entrance of the temple, and several beautiful foreign women came over and threw flower petals in front of the door. Qiara knew that these foreign women were all from the races controlled by the Grisk Hegemony.

Looking at the faith and fanaticism in their eyes, Ziara knew that nothing could shake their belief.

Walking on the flower petals all the way into the center of the temple, I saw an extremely beautiful woman standing on a high platform emitting a holy glow. She had kind eyes, a graceful figure, and her eyes were slightly closed. Just standing there, she looked like a deity descending to the earth, making people want to worship her involuntarily.

Pope of the Adventist Church, Anita.

Anita smiled slightly, and her whole body seemed to radiate the light of motherhood. She swayed lightly, and her body floated down from the several-meter-high platform like a feather and stood in front of the two people.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Admiral Chiara." Anita greeted with a smile.

"I am now the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff." Major General Qiara said coldly, "Is it too late to marry someone higher than you?"

Anita smiled slightly, not minding Chiara's offense at all, and said lightly: "Life is impermanent, and peace of mind is happiness. All things are like dreams, bubbles, dew and lightning, so we should view them in this way. All living beings are equal, beggars on the street and powerful officials. If the major general is very concerned, I will make the decision and I should be able to reinstate you."

"Hmph!" Qiara snorted coldly, "I failed in the battle and deserve to be demoted! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Anita was not angry. She always had a compassionate smile on her face and said softly, "Everything in the universe is reduced to one. Different paths lead to the same destination. Everything is in the mind. I feel happy and sigh that I have never experienced anything like this before. I suddenly realize that I have attained the state of non-rebirth. Major General, if you are willing, I am willing to help you resolve the resentment in your heart and guide you to escape from the mundane world and return to the One. Perhaps, you will find that your current resentment is just an insignificant speck of dust on the path to the One."

"Hahaha!" Sean Morabito laughed heartily. The only one who dared to make such a loud noise in the temple of the Holy Advent Sect was him, the powerful Governor of the Chiss Territory.

He looked at Anita, and finally calmed down a little, nodded slightly to express his apology, and then said: "Your Excellency the Pope, you are right. Major General Chiara's knot still needs you to untie it."

"I already know it." Anita smiled slightly and did not make any movement. Only a burst of noise was heard coming from the side hall.

Then, the side hall door opened, and a Chiss official in administrative uniform ran out. Seeing this person, Major General Chiara was shocked, "Minister of Transportation! Chaf-orm-binno... Minister Formbi! Why are you here!?"

But this guy, whose full name and common name were difficult to pronounce, ignored Chiara and ran straight to Anita, fell to his knees with a thud, and burst into tears.

"I am guilty! I am guilty!! I was the one who passed the message to the imperial army! I betrayed you!!" Feng Bi shouted while crying.

Anita sighed deeply with compassion and shook her head. She looked as if she was in more pain than Minister Feng Bi. "The crime of betrayal is unforgivable. The way of unity is to unite as one. The power of one person is extremely fragile, but when countless people unite, they are extremely powerful. You did not betray me, but betrayed countless brothers and sisters of the way of unity, and even betrayed all the people of Chis Territory."

"I am guilty! I am guilty! Please, Holy Father, give me some advice!" Feng Bi kowtowed like pounding garlic, his forehead was bleeding but he still did not stop. "Alas, lost soul..." Anita shook her head and sighed, raised her hand and waved it gently, Feng Bi was lifted up by an invisible force, and the wound on his forehead healed.

Sean Morabito sneered, "It's you, Feng Bi. I remember you. You used to be from the Chav family, and the Chav family was the first family to befriend the Kingdom of Dawn. And you were responsible for the limited communication and trade between Captain Chiss and the outside galaxy, so after you became friends with us, you became a business representative. Even when we wiped out the family later, we didn't do anything to you. Instead, we entrusted you with an important task and made you the Minister of Transportation. As a result, you are the first one to betray us!"

"I was wrong! Governor! I was wrong! I am willing to help you! I will tell you all my superiors and subordinates! I will tell you everything I know... I know that at least two ministers are involved... I am willing to report it, I am willing to report it!" Feng Bi looked at Morabito, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and crawled over on his knees, "I only ask you to plead with the Pope and give me a chance to let me return to the Way of Oneness!!"

"How is it? What can he do?" Sean Morabito asked Anita with a smile.

"This person controls several secret communication channels and can exchange information with the outside galaxy. Most of the secret collusion and communication with the Galactic Empire are carried out through him." Anita said with a smile.

Sean Morabito's expression became a little strange. He suddenly asked back, "Anyone who dares to do such a thing is a determined person. I'm afraid you must have put in a lot of effort to get him to convert to the Way of Unity, right?"

Anita still had a compassionate smile on her face, and said calmly: "The way of unity is the true meaning of the universe. All those who have seen the power of the way of unity will bow down to it. Although Feng Bi betrayed, he has long wanted to convert. After a long conversation with me, he naturally yearns for the way of unity of all things."

She paused, then continued, "I will give him a test. If he can pass it, he will return to the Way of Oneness. I wonder what your opinion is on the content of the test, Your Excellency the Governor?"

"No matter what the test is, I will complete it! I will complete it!" Feng Bi said quickly.

The smile on Xien Morabito's face became even wider. With a smile, he said an extremely cruel sentence, "I want him to help me get Thrawn's head!"

"Yes! Yes! Please give me your orders! Please give me your orders! I have seen Suolong. I have seen him when he was young! This man is not easy to mess with, but this time, he definitely doesn't know that I have converted to the right path!" Feng Bi said loudly.

"But this guy alone is not enough." Sean Morabito shook his head again.

Anita nodded and smiled. She waved her hand and said to Feng Bi, "Go wash your body first. From today on, you must not eat meat or fish. You must meditate in the Jingsi Hall for six hours every day and wait for your fate."

"Yes... As you command..." Feng Bibai knelt on the ground, maintaining this posture and moving backwards little by little until he was ten meters away from Anita. Then he stood up, but still kept his head down and continued to retreat facing Anita until he returned to the side hall.

Anita said to Sean Morabito, "The spaceship is ready, please follow me."

Following Anita's footsteps, Sheen and Chiara walked through the temple and came to a small landing pad at the back, where a spaceship about 30 meters high was ready.

Even Sean Morabito couldn't help but take a second look at the spaceship, because this spaceship... I don't know how to describe it, it's simply too holy!

The entire spacecraft is upright, about 30 meters high, and its overall shape is like a shrine. Moreover, the appearance of the spacecraft is round and integrated, and there is not even a trace of welding.

Just by taking a look at this spaceship, I felt that only a spaceship like this was worthy of a transcendent religious organization like the Holy Advent Sect.

After entering the spaceship, it was indeed decorated like a temple. It could even be said that this was a flying temple. The spaceship flew silently, and then three Chiss girls wearing loose white robes came over, holding hands and chanting a hymn of the Way of Unity.

A moment later, a ray of light like a third eye appeared on the foreheads of the three little girls. Then, the spaceship started its hyperspace engine and disappeared in an instant.

"Is this... our Skywalker?" Chiara was a little unsure.

Anita smiled and said, "Although it is effective to let Skywalker guide hyperspace navigation and pass through the 'Tangle', it will cause too much damage to Skywalker, causing them to die soon, which goes against the principle of unity. Therefore, we reconstructed Skywalker's navigation based on the principle of unity of all things, and distributed the damage to three or even more people. This is... unity."

After listening to her, the three girls who had completed the navigation turned around, bowed deeply to Anita, Sheen and others, and then politely retreated.

Qiara's brows furrowed again. Navigation by Skywalkers is very harmful to the body, causing almost all Skywalkers to lose their Skywalker abilities after the age of 10. The gifted ones can only do it until the age of 13, and there is no longer. Moreover, these Skywalkers often do not live past the age of ...

It's not like the Chiss Territory hadn't thought about how to reduce Skywalker's burden, but countless attempts had failed, and in the end, they could only keep everything as it was. But now, the Holy Advent Cult actually solved the problem so lightly?

Major General Qiara suddenly felt that he understood why the Holy Advent sect had expanded so much in the Chiss Territory. Skywalker had an extraordinary status in the Chiss Territory, and now perhaps all Skywalkers had converted to the Way of Unity!

Anita smiled and glanced at Ziara, who was lost in thought, as if she could see through her thoughts, but she didn't say anything. She just raised her scallion-white fingers and pointed out the window.

There, there were two round, big-bellied spaceships docked! And these two spaceships were very large, roughly estimated to be 500 meters long! (End of this chapter)
