Chapter 1524: Chapter 595: Tampering with the Doctrine_2

Yan Fei curiously asked, "After looking at these records in the scriptures, did you remember anything? Or are these really records about your deeds?"

"Who Am I" replied, "After reading those incomplete texts, I didn’t feel any hatred in my heart, so I think the records in those texts must be true. Combined with the fact that the vampire guardian can also use the Three Sacred Artifacts of the Church, I must be the vampire guardian mentioned in the texts."

Yan Fei said, "Since you roughly know your identity now, what did those higher-ups of the church who met you have to say?"

"Who Am I" answered, "They wanted to invite me back to the Western Church Headquarters, for me to once again become the guardian of the church and take control of the Three Artifacts, to eliminate all forces that are hostile to the church."

Yan Fei asked, "Then what is your opinion? Will you leave Dream Island?"

"Who Am I" said, "I rejected them on the spot. No matter what my previous identity was, I now only hope to recover my memory and live a peaceful life. I do not wish to get involved in the faction struggles."

Yan Fei asked, "I heard that after meeting with them, you went into solitary contemplation for some time. What have you been doing during this period?"

"Who Am I" replied, "When I saw those ancient and incomplete texts, fragments of memory in my mind began to flash rapidly, showing some signs of memory restoration. Therefore, I immediately found a quiet place to start capturing these fragments of memory. There was no progress in this process before, but it wasn’t until tonight that I was fortunately able to capture the biggest fragment of memory that flashed through my mind. After digesting this memory fragment, I finally recovered some memories that are very important to me."

Only then did Yan Fei understand how "Who Am I’s" memory was being restored, and he asked curiously, "Then you should know your name now, right? Aren’t you Cain, the first vampire in human history?"

"Who Am I" shook his head and said, "This memory fragment does not contain information about my origin, so I still do not know my name or where I come from. However, this memory is very important to me because it reminded me of a very important person."

Yan Fei asked, "This person is very important to you?"

"Who Am I" said, "Yes, this person is extremely important to me. Even if I had to sacrifice everything for her, I would have no complaints."

Yan Fei curiously said, "It was after looking at those incomplete church scriptures that your memory recovery occurred. Does that mean that the very important person you mentioned is related to the Western Church?"

"Who Am I" did not directly answer Yan Fei’s question, fell silent for a moment, and counter-questioned, "Mr. Yan Fei, if I say that I am very familiar with the founder of the Western Church, would you believe me?"

After pondering for a while, Yan Fei said, "Based on gene testing, you have lived for at least two thousand years, so you have a great chance of being a person who lived two thousand years ago. The Western Church also formally took the stage of history two thousand years ago. You should be contemporaries. If you really were familiar with the founder of the Western Church, I think it’s highly possible."

"Who Am I" said, "Thank you for your trust, but what I’m about to say next might make you think I’m insane..."

Yan Fei said, "Go ahead and tell me anyway."

"Who Am I" said, "The founder of the Western Church was a woman."

Despite being prepared, Yan Fei was still shocked and said, "How is that possible? It is well-known that the founders of the Holy See have always been men. How could it suddenly change to a woman?"

"Who Am I" sighed and said, "Your views on the Western Church all stem from their doctrines. But what I want to say is, the doctrines you see are not the original versions of the church canon; they have been extensively redacted and some key data modified. The original versions of the doctrines have been completely destroyed, and the doctrines now in circulation are all altered, incorrect versions. The incomplete texts found by my supporters in the library are the original canons that were fortunately spared from the destruction."

Yan Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Who has the ability to secretly alter so many of the Sect Canon?"

Who Am I said, "I don’t know either."

Yan Fei asked, "What exactly is your relationship with the founder of the Western Church?"

Who Am I answered, "Although I’ve regained part of my memory regarding the Western Church, it’s still fragmented. However, based on what I’ve recalled, my relationship with the founder of the Western Church was very close, we might even have been lovers."

Yan Fei found it unbelievable that the founder of the Western Church and a Vampire could be in a romantic relationship; this completely overturned his understanding...

Who Am I continued, "The founder of the Western Church entrusted me with a significant responsibility, not only sharing all of the Sect’s secrets with me but also taught me powerful Light Magic, and placed in my hands the three Sacred Artifacts of the Sect, making me the guardian of the Sect. After becoming the guardian, I leveraged the formidable power of the Three Artifacts to eliminate a large number of formidable enemies for the Sect, allowing it to survive in the cruel struggle."

Yan Fei had known before that Who Am I could use the Holy See’s Light Magic, and had speculated why a Vampire would possess Light Magic. However, he hadn’t expected it to have been personally imparted by the founder of the Sect. But this seemed paradoxical, as Vampires belong to the dark forces, yet Who Am I had mastered Light Magic and fused both darkness and light within him; it was enough to astonish everyone...

Yan Fei shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the sense of incongruity, and asked, "What happened afterward? Where did the founder of the Western Church go? Why did you lose your memory? Why did you wake up in a coffin underground at the Sect Headquarters? And why were the church’s doctrines altered?"

A pained expression crossed Who Am I’s face as he said, "All that you’ve mentioned, I have no idea about. I’ve just suddenly recalled some memories about the Sect. As for other matters, I know as little as you do."

Yan Fei, still puzzled, said, "Although it’s unusual for a Vampire to be the guardian of the Holy See, since you once held the Sect’s Three Artifacts, logically, your relationship with the Sect should have been very good. But why did you previously despise the Sect’s clerics so much that you killed them all?"

After careful thought, Who Am I said, "Right after I woke up from the coffin underground at the Sect Headquarters, I didn’t know about my relationship with the Sect. When I returned to the surface and saw the Religious Mural on the church walls, an immediate hatred for the Sect surged in my heart, so I killed the clergy present. Later on, whenever I saw people from the Western Church, I would be filled with rage and wanted to kill them all. I didn’t understand why before, but now I realize why I hated the current Western Church."

Yan Fei urgently asked, "What was the reason?"

The gentlemanly demeanor of Who Am I slowly disappeared, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably in anger as he said, "Because the Western Church has altered the Doctrine. If they had made changes about other matters, I could largely ignore it. But they should not have altered the identity of the Sect founder, changing her from a woman to a man and erasing her name, replacing it with a man’s. This is something I absolutely cannot accept. If even the Sect founder’s identity has been altered, then this Sect is no longer the one I vowed to protect. Therefore, it just comes naturally for me to wish for their destruction."

Yan Fei had not expected that Who Am I’s enmity with the Sect had stemmed from such a cause, and he asked, "Tell me, what was the founder of the Western Church really like?"

The ferocious look on Who Am I’s face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile, as he said, "As I’ve already mentioned, the founder of the Western Church was a woman, one with an Asian face, beautiful indeed. Her name was Ye Su."

Yan Fei immediately voiced his doubts, "A woman with an Asian face, named Ye Su, founding a whole new religion in the Western World more than two thousand years ago?"

Who Am I replied, "Doesn’t that just show how extraordinary her abilities were?"

Yan Fei said, "I’m sorry, please continue."
