Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 165 The Church
In the Six Gods Conference Room in the center of the capital of the Silan Theocracy, representatives of the six gods who were in charge of the integration of religion and the state sat at the round conference table with the highest priest. Everyone's face was like a dark cloud that could not be dispelled.

"The world we live in is a fragile ship thrown into the sea. Every hundred years, a huge storm may come!"

The chief priest, the highest leader of the theocracy, who was already old, wore a solemn and heavy priest robe and spoke in an old and solemn tone in the meeting hall illuminated by the magic light.

"From the six great gods we humans believe in, to the eight desire kings, then the thirteen heroes, to today's ninja world."

"Whether it's external enemies or internal alien races that are harming us humans..."

"call!"

The priest let out a long breath, as if he wanted to let go of all the pressure from the past in one breath, his tone filled with an uplifting vitality.

"The Theocracy has stood firm through countless storms and will continue to stand firm from now on!"

"What the head priest said is absolutely right."

One of the only two women in the highest echelons of the Church, both are over fifty years old. Perhaps because of her age, the Fire Priest is plump, with a fat face filled with a motherly smile that puts everyone who sees her at ease.

At this moment, she changed the subject, her tone sharp and a little sad.

"But the situation is as everyone knows. The enemy has deployed powerful forces in the Council State, the Kingdom, the Empire, and our Theocracy."

"It was quite difficult for us to cope with the journey alone. If the Empire and the Council fell, our Church would be doomed."

The jonin has stepped into the realm of heroes. At its peak, the number of jonin deployed by the Iwagakure Village on the front line of the magic continent reached sixty.

Because of the attacks and control of the Black Scripture, the number was reduced to about forty-five.

This is also a number that is difficult for the entire Theocracy to reach. At most, the Theocracy cannot produce more than 30 people in the field of heroes.

Combined with the information coming from other places, the number of people in the hero realm in the ninja world is simply sensational, and there are also quite a few people who have surpassed the hero realm.

"If you can't beat them, then just join us. Even if we are not from the same root, we all have a pair of eyes, a mouth, and we are all human."

The chief water priest was an old man who looked like a withered tree. His face was so old that it was hard to tell his age, and his skin had turned earthy in color.

Although one might be concerned about his health, his knowledge and wisdom are unmatched in the Church.

"The existence of the Church is for the great cause of mankind. Since there are humans from the outside world who can take over the human sky and establish human hegemony, there is nothing wrong with the whole country submitting to them."

The old voice continued, and the expressions of the other six people showed agreement, hesitation, and dissatisfaction.

"With the Dark Scripture, our generation and the next generation may have to live cautiously, but in a few decades, everything will be mixed together."

The Water Priest's words made the Wind Priest nod and continue, "Mixed into one?"

"If that's the case, our bloodline will also be improved. Even if it's not as good as the bloodline of a god, the number of strong people in the hero realm will increase greatly."

The Wind God priest has the appearance of a kind old man, but in the past he belonged to the Sunlight Scripture and had exterminated countless alien races.

Even though they were saddened by the destruction of the Sunlight Scripture, if it could strengthen the race's foundation, it would not be difficult to rebuild the other scriptures except the Dark Scripture even if they were severely damaged or even destroyed.

"Everyone's ideas are good, but have you ever thought about whether the other party will follow our ideas?"

The oldest member, the sharp-eyed Earth Priest, is already in his forties, but still full of energy. He used to belong to the Third Seat of the Black Saints, and is a hero who has fought on the battlefield for more than fifteen years. He is the integrator of the Six-Colored Sacred Scriptures and can directly command the Six-Colored Sacred Scriptures. He is vaguely being trained as the next Chief Priest.

"As the Water Priest said, we are all human beings."

The Chief Earth Priest paused, thinking of the Iwagakure Village's frontal advance and their steady and cautious fighting style, which left almost no room for maneuver, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"As soon as they came in, they attacked our beliefs that we have held for hundreds of years. It is obvious that they want to wipe out our culture and spirit. After a few decades, I am afraid that even books will not record the Six Gods beliefs of the Silian Theocracy!"

"Our existence and our achievements will be completely wiped out!"

"It's clean, what's wrong with that?"

The Chief Priest of Light, who had long eyes and a skinny body and looked extremely sinister, chuckled.

"Our methods are not honorable either. Even if it is for the survival of the human race and the current racial hegemony, the blood of our compatriots on our hands is enough to completely soak the statues of the six gods!"

"We should let the masters of this land judge our merits and faults. We will most likely sacrifice our lives for our country, so don't think about the unnecessary things."

"Let those who come after us think about what's happening after death!"

The Chief Priest's straightforward words caused all the priests and chief officers present to fall into a long silence.

Then, the man wearing round-frame glasses and the dark chief priest with several books floating behind him broke the silence at the scene.

"Winning or losing is an unknown."

The Dark Priest, who came from the judicial institution, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke slowly.

"The True Dragon Kings of the Council Nation are all strong men who have surpassed the realm of heroes, especially the Platinum Dragon King, who has surpassed the abnormal ones."

"They are the great enemies of mankind, and the Ninja World Ninja are also the great enemies of the Church. Now they are facing each other."

The Dark Priest smoothed his beard.

"If the Council gains the upper hand, the ninjas of the Hidden Rock Village will most likely be mobilized. That will be our chance."

"If the Council is in danger, then we might as well surrender cleanly. It would only mean offering our old heads."

They are all over fifty years old, and some have even put one foot in the coffin. Life and death are nothing more than that.

After the Dark God Priest's analysis, the others nodded.

With the three gods who had awakened their divine bloodline through the Dark Scripture and various divine artifacts, no one present thought they would do worse than the Empire.

Haven’t you seen that the Empire can compete with the Hidden Rain Village, one of the three major ninja villages? How could the strongest religious country lose to the mere Blood Emperor?
"Now that everyone's will has been unified, we will continue to hold the line of defense and arrange for the members of the Black Scripture to continue to attack or capture ninjas."

The old head priest said slowly.

"Let the director of magic research study the source of power in the ninja world as quickly as possible. At the very least, let our warriors have a detailed understanding of ninjas!"
