Chapter 1271 - 1119: Great Chaos
People doing scientific research fear one thing the most,, the wrong direction of research. Because when you find a mistake, the entire research might already be nearing completion. Discovering errors when finishing up is the most desperate thing, and some people even expend their entire lives in this endeavor.
"But what if you are wrong?" someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Isrile and Ruosha both knew this person, who was the old researcher whose curse Ruosha had lifted. His question was aptly put.
"I am wrong?" Ruosha raised her hand and pointed at the two cores of the Star Devourers above, "If I am wrong! Would the great Lord of the Star Devourers choose me?" One sentence could answer the entire question, results decide everything. Everyone here was working to awaken the Star Devourers, and during the baptism of becoming an Apostle, the core of the Star Devourers chose Ruosha,, doesn’t that explain everything?
"From the first day we sisters entered here, all our research achievements were under the watch of each one of you,, how strong the two of us are,, you should know best. Whether you like us or not,, at least our knowledge level is absolutely not fake!"
Isrile’s words garnered agreement from the crowd, even those who didn’t like them couldn’t deny this fact.
"But let’s look back at those first-generation Apostles." Isrile continued, "Those so-called first-generation Apostles have always been hiding in some dark corner, continuously barking orders at us, commanding us to research this, research that. So, I have a very simple question to make everyone think,, those seven first-generation Apostles enjoy the status and offerings like an Emperor, and also enjoy the power bestowed by the Lord of the Star Devourers. But without our research achievements, couldn’t they basically do nothing?"
This statement really hit the nail on the head and also struck a chord in every researcher’s heart. All the researchers fell silent, seriously pondering this matter.
"So! I believe! The true Apostles certainly are not those who enjoy the fruits of our hard labor,, but those of us who have firm faith and sincerely want to awaken the Lord of the Star Devourers! We want to personally awaken the Star Devourers! We want the blessings of the Star Devourers! We want to become Apostles!"
Isrile raised her fists high,, and the group of researchers below exchanged glances.
Finally, a person raised his fist,, he was the old researcher, he shouted loudly, "We want to personally awaken the Star Devourers! We want the blessings of the Lord of the Star Devourers! We want to become Apostles!"
With the first person, the entire scene immediately erupted uncontrollably.
"Awaken the Star Devourers! Enjoy the blessings! Become Apostles!"
The slogans were thunderous.
Zuo La had already left early because he realized that the situation was completely out of control.
In fact, even Isrile, standing on the stage, had not anticipated that these researchers could be so easily influenced. Actually, Isrile and Ruosha’s proposed issues were occasionally considered by the researchers, but the atmosphere here and their extremely firm beliefs did not allow them to delve too deeply into these thoughts. Especially since most of their energy was usually occupied by research, they simply had no time.
But now, Isrile and Ruosha had laid out all the issues in front of them,, the firm belief in the Star Devourers was immediately transformed into dissatisfaction with the Apostles.
"Class struggle always works like a charm, Brother Long is simply a god," Ruosha remarked sentimentally.
"I must say, if it wasn’t for hearing those strange stories from him often, we really wouldn’t have known it could be like this," Isrile said.
After successfully mobilizing the core research institute, Isrile and Ruosha, along with a group from the core research institute, went straight to the senior research institute and the junior research institute,, as soon as their speech was made, everyone erupted. Compared with the core research institute, these lower-level researchers were angrier and more miserable, with even lower status,, they had long harbored various grievances. Now seeing that even the people from the core research institute had joined, what else could these faculties pretend to be?
Thus, an unexpectedly large-scale movement started with great vigor.
Zuo La had already brought this matter back to the Apostles early on, but when the Apostles heard it, their first reaction was disbelief. Even one Apostle scoffed at Zuo La as being somewhat paranoid.
"Let me tell you, Lord Zuo La, those researchers are like livestock; they’ve been brainwashed and apart from research, they simply cannot do anything else," an Apostle said laughing.
But soon after, when an impressive nearly ten thousand people followed Isrile and Ruosha to the Apostles, all the Apostles were dumbfounded.
Several Apostles rushed forward, shouting loudly, trying to make them go back.
"Look there, my comrades! Look at their faces! Even at this time, they still have the nerve to scold us!" Isrile shouted loudly.
"Get out!" Isrile yelled.
Suddenly, the people behind her shouted in unison.
"Go away! Go away! Go away!"
Ten thousand voices shouted in unison, the immense clamor directly terrifying those few who had attempted it. They retreated, looking gloomy, but had no better solution. After all, when the authority of being an Apostle no longer held sway, what advantage could they have over these researchers?
Zuo La knew that he had to step forward.
"Lily! Sasa! Please calm down! What on earth do you want to do?" Zuo La, who believed he had a good relationship with the two of them, asked loudly.
"What do we want? Comrades! Tell them!" Isrile shouted.
"Awaken the Star Devourers! Enjoy the blessings! Become Apostles!"
"Awaken the Star Devourers! Enjoy the blessings! Become Apostles!"
The deafening sound arose, and Zuo La sighed, saying, "You should know, this is not realistic."
"Not realistic, why? Are you saying that awakening the Star Devourers is unrealistic, enjoying the blessings of the Star Devourers is unrealistic, or becoming an Apostle is unrealistic?" Isrile said.
"All are unrealistic." Zuo La said. "The difficulty of awakening the Star Devourers is far beyond your imagination; the blessings of the Star Devourers are not infinite, they can’t possibly satisfy every one of you, let alone make you all Apostles."
Ruosha, however, stepped forward and asked, "Did the Star Devourer tell you this, or was it the Seven Great First-Generation Apostles?"
Zuo La said somewhat helplessly, "Of course, it was the First-Generation Apostles. The Star Devourer has not been fully awakened and has always been in a semi-somnolent state. All information about the Star Devourer must necessarily be conveyed through the First-Generation Apostles, which is why they are so important."
However, Isrile sneered and said, "I fear that these so-called First-Generation Apostles might simply be a bunch of deceivers. Ruosha, tell everyone what message you received from the core of the Star Devourer!"
Ruosha immediately nodded, stepped forward two steps, and everyone around became silent, waiting for Ruosha to speak.
"The core of the Star Devourer told me that this so-called blessing of the Star Devourer, the Kela Particles, is not some grand blessing at all but merely a form of energy. Whether or not one can obtain this energy depends solely on one’s own talent and has nothing to do with the abundance of the blessing!" Ruosha said loudly.
"Sasa! Don’t talk nonsense!" Zuo La urged anxiously.
"I’m not talking nonsense, the core of the Star Devourer is right here, ask it yourself if you don’t believe me!" Ruosha said, pointing to two cores floating above her head.
Me ask? How can I ask? Would I still be standing here if I could? Zuo La was also quite helpless.
"Look, on the one hand, there are the elusive so-called Seven Great First-Generation Apostles, and on the other side, there are us who can actually communicate with the Star Devourer. Now, let me ask all the Apostles here, whom do you really believe?" Isrile asked.
Zuo La instinctively looked back, but saw that indeed, some Apostles were already beginning to waver! In fact, these Apostles, like ordinary researchers, few among them had actually seen the First-Generation Apostles. And because they were not brainwashed, they tended not to believe the words of the First-Generation Apostles, unwilling to live the days like an emperor according to the will of the First-Generation Apostles.
However, the emperor-like days also differed. This planet was not at all developed and was even somewhat desolate. Resources were scarce, there weren’t many entertainment options, and most importantly, they had to demonstrate their devotion to the Star Devourer daily, wasting most of their time in various researches.
Thus, although they did not voice it, there was some dissatisfaction brewing secretly. Now, after Isrile raised the question, it immediately garnered at least some mental agreement from some people.
"Maybe, we really do need the First-Generation Apostles to give us an explanation," one Apostle said.
With the first Apostle’s response, some of those who had been uncertain also expressed their agreement. But more Apostles loudly criticized the people around them. The logic was simple; questioning the First-Generation Apostles meant questioning everything that is current. That is, questioning the emperor-like life they led on this planet. Perhaps some people had had enough of this life, but most had not!
The Apostles began to argue on both sides, some people quietly explained the crucial relations to those around them, and some immediately took a stance against Isrile. In the end, a small portion of Apostles sided with Isrile and Ruosha, while the majority of Apostles maintained a hostile attitude towards Isrile.
"Lily, Sasa, why must you do this, can’t we talk about it privately?" Zuo La had already secretly prepared a magic spell by this time. Once he cast that spell, the two young girls, Lily and Sasa, would immediately obey him. But he believed there was still hope, and he thought it was merely the girls being petulant.
"Give up your mind control magic, Master Zuo La. I’ve seen through your intentions. I met with the First-Generation Apostle, and he tried to use mind magic on me then. It didn’t work even at that time, do you think your magical powers are stronger than theirs?" Isrile spoke up.
Zuo La truly hadn’t expected that just the preparation of his magic had been detected! It turned out Isrile’s magical strength was so astonishing! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote and support us. Smartphone users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
