This is also a continuation brought about by that small change Shen Shi made earlier. In the latest history he knows, the Pope did not merely stand still like this; he quickly began managing everyone, establishing order, building confidence, and then further requesting meetings or even negotiations.
The Pope proactively boarded the spaceship with this purpose in mind.
But now.
She, having been controlled once, seemed to have lost that courage.
"Just wait." Shen Shi spoke.
Indeed, they need not do anything, treating the Pope as any ordinary Cosmic Person, and then waiting.
Time slowly passed.
More and more Cosmic People were arriving.
And an increasing number of Cosmic People were kneeling before the Pope.
The Pope realized she had to do something.
"Stand up..." he whispered, "This is a test given to us by the Gods."
With just this one sentence, it seemed to bring enormous courage to the others.
