Chapter 1111: "Faith Verification"
Chapter 1111: "Faith Verification"
March 15, 2023
After listening to his teacher’s explanation, Morgan finally understood everything.
If he were in the shoes of the old ancestor or Plante, he would probably agree as well. The closer one is to death, the more they fear it. The prospect of an extended lifespan would be irresistible, even if it meant taking on a new body.
Morgan was also well aware that joining the rebel organization wasn’t such a big deal. Although the rebels were in opposition to the Hymn, the Hymn didn’t usually go to extreme lengths to eliminate rebel members. As long as one didn’t commit particularly heinous acts, such as destroying lower-tier civilizations or mass murdering citizens of the Silver Saint Federation, they could still receive lenient treatment if captured.
For example, King Zhou of Shang, who had been a member of the rebel organization, never engaged in violent or criminal activities. He maintained a good reputation in his transactions with other cultivators. After returning to the Silver Saint Federation, he was even entrusted with important tasks and was now serving as a commander of the defense force on Earth.
Realizing this, Morgan felt much more at ease. Joining the Dark Energy Rebellion wasn’t such a big deal, and he would still have a way out if needed.
...
However, Alice, sitting across from him, saw right through his thoughts.
Her beautiful, large eyes fixed on Morgan, and a barely noticeable smile played at the corners of her mouth. "Morgan, are you thinking that joining the Dark Energy Rebellion isn’t such a big deal, and as long as you don’t commit any heinous acts, you can still return to the Silver Saint Federation and be rehabilitated?"
Morgan was slightly startled by her words. He hadn’t expected to be seen through so quickly.
But he tried to maintain a neutral expression. "Isn’t that a reasonable thought? The Dark Energy Rebellion abolished the ‘Faith Verification’ over a thousand years ago. Many cultivators have returned to the Federation from the Rebellion in the past few centuries."
The "Faith Verification" Morgan mentioned was similar to the "blood oath" practiced by humans on Earth. About a thousand years ago, the Dark Energy Rebellion introduced the "Faith Verification," which required new members to massacre a million intelligent beings from a lower-tier civilization to gain entry.
This "Faith Verification" was so notorious that the Dark Energy Rebellion became a universal enemy in the Silver Saint Galaxy and the Milky Way.
However, the "Faith Verification" was abolished after less than a century.
The reason was that the high-ranking members of the Dark Energy Rebellion realized that while the "Faith Verification" ensured internal unity and left no room for members to back out, it also made them a target for the entire Silver Saint society and set the bar too high for new recruits. Thus, they abandoned this entry requirement after less than a century.
The current Dark Energy Rebellion, although still a group of madmen bent on destroying lower-tier civilizations, has relaxed its entry requirements. New members are no longer required to commit heinous acts.
Therefore, Morgan often saw news of Dark Energy Rebellion members reforming and returning to the Silver Saint Federation.
If others could do it, why couldn’t he?
Alice looked at her student, her smile unwavering. "Indeed, it’s not uncommon for members to leave the Dark Energy Rebellion and return to the Federation. Many have done so. However, I advise you not to have such thoughts."
