Chapter 1379: The Last Hope
Those researchers who had resolved to resist the Original Mother gained a precious breathing space.
However, they also developed enormous disagreements over how to deal with the Holy Light Temple.
At first, the vast majority of researchers agreed with the Holy Light Temple's view, believing that the Original Mother was the "Chaos Egg," capable of bringing only chaos, disorder, ignorance, barbarism, and slaughter.
Some were even wild with joy at the arrival of the Holy Light Army.
Risking their lives, they escaped Hope and attempted to contact the Holy Light Temple, hoping to use its power to "purify" Turanze—only thus could Turan Civilization be saved.
However, they soon learned what so-called "purification" truly meant in the Holy Light Temple's vocabulary.
Purification meant death.
Regardless of gender or age, soldier or civilian, whether they had been eroded by Spirit Magnetic Material or controlled by the Original Mother.
So long as they were "demons and evil spirits" illuminated by holy light, death was the greatest mercy, the greatest fortune, and the eternal tranquility the Holy Light Temple could bestow upon them.
As one Turan town after another vanished into ashes beneath the holy light.
Countless elderly, weak, women, and children let out heart-rending screams amid the raging flames.
The researchers' beliefs underwent a complete reversal.
If the Original Mother had turned the Turan Orcs into puppets and tiger's minions.
At least puppets and tiger's minions could survive.
Even if they were to perish, it would be thousands or even tens of thousands of years later.
The result of cooperating with the Holy Light Temple—or, more accurately, surrendering to it—was that Turan Civilization would be buried alongside the Original Mother right now.
Killing the Original Mother was merely a means.
Saving Turan Civilization was the researchers' ultimate goal.
