(6200)_3 During the registration process, Miles also noticed something interesting.

This group of knights, although everyone knew they were from the Xiawei Territory, called themselves members of the ‘Supreme Spirit Sect’ or the ‘Star Soul Sect’.

This sect has two core doctrines: ‘shelter’ and ‘vengeance’.

Shelter essentially places the Bloodline Family at its heart, encouraging people to care for the elderly, to treat children kindly, to create a happy and fulfilling family, and to bravely protect the ‘life’ they desire.

Vengeance, as the name implies, means fighting against any enemies who dare to harm the happiness of people’s lives, and to administer righteous punishment upon them.

The name Star Soul itself essentially represents the world view of the Supreme Spirit Sect: They believe that in this world, everything has a soul and spirit, whether it’s machines or rocks, Humans or insects—it sounds a bit like the doctrines of the ‘Spiritual Tool Church’ and the ‘Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits’, and indeed they surely borrowed some parts, but the core of the Star Soul Sect branches out uniquely on its own.

They believe that even the group ‘Humans’ and the ‘Tella Continent’ beneath their feet also have a vague ‘collective soul’.

It is named the ‘Soul of All Beings’ and the ‘Heart of Terra’.

Within the Soul of All Beings resides all the wisdom and memory of Humans from ancient times to the present; within the Heart of Terra lies all the knowledge and liberation required by all living things.

These two are the ‘True Spirits’ worshipped by the Supreme Spirit Sect—the essence of shelter and vengeance, bringing oneself closer to the ‘Sacred Ritual’ of the Soul of All Beings and the Heart of Terra.

The Dragon God is the power of the earth, the Dragon God is the spokesperson for Terra, the True Dragon itself is an incarnation of the Soul of All Beings and the Heart of Terra between heaven and earth—thus

According to the followers of this sect, if one cultivates to a certain extent, one would even be able to talk to the dead!

Hearing this, Miles’ heart suddenly stirred slightly.

“Talking to the dead…”

The young man gently closed his eyes, sensing Cynthia’s small hand that was holding his own gripped a bit tighter.

Indeed, even if his rational mind told him that this sect was deceiving people, was overstating things…

he still felt moved.

No, it wasn’t just being moved.

It was longing.

Even knowing it was a hopeless wish, even aware that what he wanted to do was impossible…

he still wished to see his mother once more.

“Brother…”

Miles heard Cynthia’s soft call, fell silent for a while, then smiled: “Of course.

Cynthia, we’ll give it a try.”

“But if in the end it doesn’t succeed…

don’t be sad.”

“Mhm.” The little girl nodded earnestly.

She rubbed her eyes and did not say much else.

The knights themselves valued the doctrines of the Supreme Spirit Sect, and even made a special effort to spread the word, but the people of Bittercold Village didn’t care about these things, they just saw the favorable conditions for pioneering new land.

The knights understood this very clearly, too, but they insisted on preaching—whether or not anyone cared was one thing, but they, themselves, wanted to present the most formal attitude.

According to them, the reason they were recruiting people everywhere to clear new lands was to start from scratch and build a base for the sect.

For this, Miles could totally understand.

Although only the Four Great Orthodox Churches above Terra are officially recognized as the Orthodox Church, local beliefs, ethnic beliefs, and cults have always been emerging one after another—especially places like South Ridge at the edge of civilization, where it is commonplace for one or two new sects and beliefs to pop up every now and then.

Especially among the Mountain People.

Although they all worship the Dragon God, how exactly one worships varies greatly, and virtually every tribe is different, which is why the Mountain People have felt increasingly fragmented in recent years.

Only the Dragon God’s Emissary.

Only the Dragon God’s Emissary can re-gather the core of the Mountain People’s faith and bring unity once again.

And conveniently, the Lord of the Xiawei Territory is the young prodigy renowned throughout all of South Ridge, the Emissary bearing Dragon Blood, Ian Silverpeak.

Thus, Miles believed, the backing of this sect definitely included the support of the Lord, very regular, something that can be trusted.

Moreover, unless that young Lord suddenly dies, its prospects are clearly great.

“Finally, perhaps something positive is on the horizon…”

With this thought, Miles, along with many other refugees who were willing to take risks and venture into the mountains to start a new life, followed the ‘Supreme Spirit Sect’s’ pioneering group on the journey into the mountains.

On the other side of the journey, a small carriage watched these groups from a distance.

The winter sun seemed a little dim under the cold wind, and the middle-aged Noble with black hair and green eyes sat on the side of the rather inconspicuous carriage, lifting the plank and thoughtfully watching this migrating crowd.

“Interesting.”

Viscount Tymo Decass murmured to himself: “After securing official leadership rights, they immediately set about reforming the doctrine for the Mountain People, reclaiming the power to interpret the Dragon God faith, then using a brand-new doctrine to merge the consensus of the Mountain People—shelter and vengeance, all beings and the earth, what perfect doctrine.”

This Noble, born in The Imperial Nobility Hall and a Noble of the Imperial Capital, obviously has meticulous knowledge of the recent activities of the Xiawei Territory and the ‘Supreme Spirit Sect’, thus he clapped in admiration: “This is exactly what should be done—no, this is the only way to do it!

To reassemble the ragged and recently turmoil-stricken Mountain People into a unified body, there must be a new belief to guide their spirits and souls!”
