'''The Great Journey''' is a central theme for the [[Covenant]] and its theocratic government: it is their ultimate goal. It is also that which stopped the war between the [[Prophets]] and the [[Elites]]. The [[Covenant]] believe that their gods, the [[Forerunner|Forerunners]], used the [[Halos|Sacred Rings]] to cleanse the universe of all that is unholy, escaping a doomed existence of fighting an endless struggle against the [[The Flood|Flood]], and allowing them to transcend into gods, giving them ancient and unlimited power. The [[Covenant]] wish to activate the Halo installations to wipe out [[Human|humanity]] and the [[The Flood|Flood]], which would provide salvation for their own doomed existences and allow them to follow the [[Forerunners]] to their mysterious destination, where they will share in their power. In Covenant Religious terms the Flood are known as one of the many "obstacles" or "tests" that the Covenant must pass to begin The Great Journey.
