"...are you interested in becoming a voter?"

Zachland is like a pyramid scheme, promoting the identity of "voters".

The image of this prophet is completely different from what Lone Wolf imagined. The "wise, calm, and resolute wise man" who was portrayed in various stories collapsed in Lone Wolf's heart at this time.

The only good news is that Lone Wolf does not believe in religion, nor worships "prophets", and will not experience mood swings due to the collapse of the image of the leader of the faith.

He looked at Zaklan not knowing what to say, and after a while, he choked out a sentence:

"...Grand Prophet, may I take the liberty to ask, why did you choose me?"

This is something that Lone Wolf is very curious about. He has heard a long time ago that the Prophet has extraordinary spiritual power and can make accurate predictions.

The prophet predicted the crisis before the arrival of the "circle", and led some believers to hide in advance, allowing civilization to continue the fire.

Then he came here by accident and became the "chosen people" of the prophet. Is this also expected by the prophet?

He felt that he was the "predicted chosen one". Unexpectedly, after hearing his question, Zachlan repeated directly:

"Didn't I say it? Because you were lucky, and you were the first to come here."

"……that's it?"

"Yes," Zachlan nodded, spread his hands and said, "For some reason... I must be responsible for the stupid 'excuses' I used."

"I once escaped from the 'Watchmen'. At that time, I made a random excuse-looking for voters. It turns out that believers have a much better memory than me. I have been asked the same question 25,000 times: Have the voters been found?"

Having said that, he leaned back on the seat again, and said with a vicissitudes of life:

"In order to fill the hole I dug myself, I can only use one 'excuse' to cover another 'excuse', so I made a prophecy that the first outsider who comes here will become my elect. "

"So here's the thing, even if a space amoeba came here it would be my voter."

After listening to Zaklan's answer, Lone Wolf felt speechless for a while. The already shattered image of the prophet was shattered even more thoroughly this time.

Seeing his expression, Zakran seemed to know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said;

"...Disillusioned? But this is the real me. The so-called prophet is just an ordinary person...By the way, can I trouble you to pick up that "Holy Words" for me?"

As he spoke, Zaklan pointed to the "Holy Words" that happened to be thrown next to the lone wolf.

Although Lone Wolf couldn't read the words in the book, he could still know what it was probably.

"You still need me to do this kind of trivial matter? Don't you psykers just hook your fingers..." He stood up with slander, but froze when he bent down to pick up the book, and then looked at Zachlan in disbelief.

Zaklan looked at him very calmly and said, "Did you feel it? Don't be so surprised. I don't have any psionic powers. The most I can do with psionic powers is to make a leaf float."

"But the outside world has been rumored that you are a psychic with powerful psychic power, and you can even use this power to peek into a corner of the future and make accurate predictions..." Lone Wolf still couldn't believe it.

"People will be more willing to believe what they want," Zaklan shook his head, and took the "Holy Words" handed by Lone Wolf.

"After all, mediocrity and a prophet don't match in any way. Only a powerful and stalwart 'prophet' can match people's perception of the image of a prophet."

"I was shaped like this. I was just an ordinary ascetic, and all the 'miracles' were false imposed on this body."

He turned over the "Holy Words" and told the past of the little man named "Zaklan" without looking up.

"The identity of a prophet did not bring him any benefits in terms of power. Before the destruction of the 'Watcher', he was a prophet who was emptied, and he was just an idol figure who united his faith."

"He is also a despicable person. He took advantage of the worship of the 'prophet' by the believers and tricked them into establishing this hermitage."

"This process is very tiring, because the fire of civilization is very fragile. If you are not careful, it will make it impossible for anyone to recover, but everything has stabilized in the end."

"And now, it's time for this 'Prophet' to leave. He feels that he has taken on too many responsibilities that don't belong to him. Now he wants to be himself, the ordinary person who is cultivating in the sea of ​​stars. .”

"This is the story of Zachlan, a little man."

Lone Wolf understood Zaklan's general meaning. It seemed that the prophet didn't want to do it anymore, and wanted to retire early to do his own business.

But looking at Zaklan's meticulous flipping movements and his aging body, Lone Wolf felt something was wrong.

"...So, what do you mean?" Lone Wolf couldn't help asking, he wanted to understand what Zakran was thinking.

Zaklan glanced at him and stopped what he was doing.

"...I needed a new 'idol' that would remind them of their duties at all times."

"But this civilization doesn't need another prophet. This kind of title, which was born by mistake, should be cut off from me."

"And my voters will become my 'spokespersons' tens of millions of years from now, allowing them to recall when they are lost—what is the purpose of the Holy Land?"

"You are the first one. You will hold my token. With this thing, you can get the allegiance of a small fleet every once in a while."

Zakran threw a cane to the lone wolf. This is a cane made purely of psionic crystals. Maybe there will be no second one in the entire galaxy.

Before the lone wolf could react, Zachlan put on a posture to see off the guests, and guards took the lone wolf away in an instant.

The lone wolf didn't struggle at all, but turned around and asked before he was about to disappear, "Is there only one token? What should I do if I lose it?"

Zaklan also heard this sentence, and just when he was about to answer, the lone wolf completely disappeared into the hall.

However, Zaklan didn't feel any sense of depression, but felt a sense of relief.

Not because of the departure of the "chosen people", but because he can finally be liberated.

"If there is no token... maybe my head will be a good way to prove it?"

Not long after Lone Wolf left the "Hermitage" planet, Zakran himself also left here.

Although Zaklan claimed that he was just "going out for fun", those believers with strong psychic powers could see that this "prophet" in his family would probably not come back again.

His decrepit body was already old, but Zaklan resolutely did not use any psionic technology or genetic technology to increase his lifespan. The prophet who had lived for a long time was finally coming to an end.

He didn't have any interest in "long life" or even "eternal life". He just wanted to take off the title of "prophet" that was louder than his name, and live happily through the final stage of his life.

In the end, his spaceship disappeared into the galaxy, and no one knows where he went.

After that, the surviving "Watcher" spark, according to Zaklan's order, once again declared its existence to the galaxy as the "Lost Empire".

At this time, they are not "Watchers", but "Guardians of the Holy Land" with brand-new teachings, and their Holy Land also has a special planet called "Hermitage of the Prophet".

After that, for at least tens of millions of years, they will fight for the Holy Land, until the civilization dies, or the "chosen people" appear.

Therefore, the "Great Khan Trial" that was supposed to be carried out in the dark was finally known to the galactic civilizations, which caused many galactic shocks.
