"Yes, it's you." Stábile gave an answer that surprised everyone.
Under a sea of astonished gazes, he smiled and said, "Although I have only been freed from the Earth's Core Prison for half a year, my child, I already know you very well. I even know more about your deeds than many of your admirers in the Northern Region Empire. I know that you are born with the attribute of [ Son of God ], possessing the purest Golden Holy Power in the world. This made you the Pope of the [ Black-Robed Holy Temple ]. According to the doctrine of the Holy Scripture [ Divine Oracle ], the Pope of any branch of the Holy Church is qualified to compete for the Pope's throne on the Holy Mountain Sicily Island. Therefore, you are certainly qualified to become Pope. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the [ Black-Robed Holy Temple ] is now powerful and vibrant. Coupled with your Peak Supreme level strength, I cannot think of anyone in this world who can compete with you for the Pope's throne."
Sun Fei nodded subconsciously.
Batistuta suddenly realized what the Old Man meant.
Stábile continued, "At the same time, you are the supreme ruler of the Northern Region Empire. Your will can determine the entire Northern Region Empire. If you were to simultaneously be the Pope of the Holy Church and the Emperor of the Northern Region Empire, then the Church and the Empire could rightfully unite as one, becoming the most powerful theocratic entity in the world. At that time, unifying the entire Azeroth Continent would be merely a matter of your will."
At this point, everyone understood what the old pope meant.
It was actually... a stepping down?
Without a doubt, he put forward an extremely terrifying idea.
Once this vision becomes a reality, the historic unification of the entire continent will truly be just around the corner, and will no longer be just a distant fantasy.
However, the special status of the Human Emperor of the Northern Region makes this crazy idea surprisingly feasible.
While people were shocked by the plan, they also admired the magnanimity of the old Pope Stábile.
In this world, not everyone can relinquish control of the Church as easily as he could. Making such a decision requires the wisdom to see through the vicissitudes of life and the magnanimity to laugh at the world.
At this moment, Stábile's old and ugly body became incomparably sacred and holy.
This was one of the most outstanding sages in the Human Clan history.
If he truly made this choice, then Stábile might have been a great man who completely changed the history of the Human Clan, and he will be remembered forever.
But are there really such great people in the world?
Some people have doubts.
"Why not yourself?" Sun Fei asked, slightly surprised and with a hint of probing. "You are the former Pope of the [ Black-Robed Holy Temple ] and the current de facto ruler of the Holy Church. Perhaps a wise man like you would lead the Human Clan on the continent to a better future."
"Of course I've thought that way too. Many years ago, I also wanted to become the first person to control the entire continent," Stábile sighed. "However, you also have to come out. Fate has not been kind to me. The more than eight hundred years I spent in the Earth's Core Prison have completely changed me. While making me see through the temptations of power and worldly affairs, I have also become much older. My lifespan is at most only half a year. But you, child, you are like the rising sun, with endless glory and miracles waiting for you to create. You are the only most suitable candidate."
Stábile with unparalleled determination.
The repeated repetitions made everyone realize that the old pope was not putting on an act, but was truly selfless.
Moreover, his explanation of his lifespan completely dispelled the last shred of doubt from those conspiracy theorists with dark intentions.
An Old Man nearing the end of his life has no need to fight for power that he cannot grasp in the first place.
At this moment, Sun Fei finally chose to completely trust the Old Man in front of him.
He also fully understood the real reason why he was holding this gathering today, which had attracted attention from the entire mainland.
The reason Stábile to such lengths to lure everyone here, spent so much time telling the story of the age of gods and demons, and brought out the scroll and the sample of the [ Defiler ] was all for the purpose of facilitating the eventual unification of the Human Clan.
Only stark, bloody facts can move those who seek personal gain.
Only then can the reunification of the mainland become a realistic possibility.
Everything that happens here today will be spread to every corner of the continent through the mouths of countless powerful figures around us.
Perhaps, the glory of the Human Clan, a brand new era, will truly arrive because of today's gathering of the three giants?
Even the usually jovial Maradona, the Continent Martial Saint, couldn't help but show a look of longing and stopped teasing Stábile.
"I have six months left. Before I die, I can pave the way for everything, make all the preparations, eliminate the remnants of Blatter and Platini, and reorganize the entire Church. My child, I hope that you can also accomplish everything in these six months. The plan is good, but there are all sorts of obstacles in its implementation. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see you ascend the five-colored ladder to the papal throne on the Holy Mountain of Light."
Stábile spoke earnestly.
After a moment's thought, Sun Fei didn't offer any feigned humility, but instead nodded earnestly.
Although he did not covet power, if the conflict between the Holy Church and the Northern Region Empire could be resolved, and if the Holy See, which had ruled the entire continent for a thousand years, could once again embark on the path of light, Sun Fei would not feign magnanimity.
The meeting of the three giants at the Meazza, which shocked the world, ended in a way that no one expected.
The final outcome of this meeting quickly spread throughout the Azeroth Continent. The tendency for the Holy Church and the Northern Region Empire, two behemoths, to unite brought joy to some and sorrow to others.
For established imperial nobles and rulers like those from Barcelona and Juventus, who were loyal to the Platini and Blatter factions, this was a nightmare. They had already forged a deep-seated hatred with the Northern Region Empire, and once they lost the Holy Church as their backer, one could imagine what fate awaited them.
In addition, many independent empires began to worry about their independence.
The Human Emperor of the Northern Region, in his quest to unify the continent, will inevitably have to abolish all empires, making them his primary targets.
Of course, those nobles, powerful figures, and some families who had chosen to follow the Human Emperor of the Northern Region long ago became extremely excited at this moment. The higher Sun Fei's power, the more stable their positions would be.
Suddenly, undercurrents surged across the mainland.
Maradona and Stábile to the Church headquarters in Sicily Island to handle the complicated matters that followed.
Sun Fei, on the other hand, returned to the Northern Region.
The war completely disappeared across the entire continent within a short period of time.
