Chapter 160: Advent

Looking down from the sky, the people on the Dawn Heights during this period are like ants gathered in the center of the gathering point, busy with their work.

Originally, the name of the Highlands was not this, but after Archbishop Pomban proposed the name of Dawn, the people unanimously agreed to give it a new name to the place where they lived, to symbolize that they were bathing in the only and precious light of this dark age.

These days, people drink only water, eat only the coarsest black bread or soybean rice mixed with soybeans and wild vegetables, and keep all the relatively delicate and fine food, while they desperately do extremely intense heavy physical work, for which they even forget to sleep and eat, and do not care about their fields and homes, just to achieve this most important goal.

In this situation, a huge altar soon rose from the center of the territory, standing proudly there, becoming the most conspicuous structure in the territory.

The altar is a capped nacelle, and the flat image from the sky is a rectangle narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, the narrow part is a combination of the audience passage and the prayer corridor, and the wide part is the core hall - this is actually the garden where the statue of Chen Peng was originally located was artificially closed, so that there are many windows on the top and on the wall, so that the sunlight can come in and moisten the plants that grow here.

The new altar was hastily polished and pieced together from large chunks of mountain rock, and it looked simple and rough, far from matching the gorgeous and exquisite religious buildings on the earth, but it had a sense of solemnity and heaviness that belonged to this world. Each wall is engraved with a sentence praising Chen Peng, and with the black and white architectural colors as the main colors, it looks particularly dignified and quiet.

Originally only found in the ancient legends of this world, these altars can now be seen in the land of no lord except in the wild, where some ruins can be found, partly because the lords preferred to spend money on fortifying the walls or building castles, and partly because the people's faith had long since been worn out during the long Dark Ages. Can't find a goal to believe in.

And now, that has changed.

When Archbishop Pomban issued a summoning order, all the adults in the territory consciously gathered together, built this altar, and rebuilt their faith in their hearts.

And today is the day when they witness the faith in their hearts reflected in reality.

Early in the morning. The leaders gathered in the square outside the altar, dressed in their cleanest clothes, their skin flushed with the living water of the stream.

They lined up in a neat and quiet row, waiting and whispering the verses of praise inscribed on the walls of the altar.

The sun rises higher and higher, and the exterior of the altar is covered with a layer of light, warm and soft.

As the sun approached the top, Pombloat led a group of people to the periphery of the square.

As if attracted by some mysterious force, the people in front of him automatically separated like the sea, and the places they passed. The people all moved out of the way to the altar, and then followed closely, forming a pyramidal queue according to their status level behind Pang Ban, until they reached the altar gate.

The altar gate was preceded by two ascending stairs to the left and right, surrounded by a projecting platform, on which Pompa stopped and turned to look at the people behind.

More and more people followed, gathering under the high platform.

The altar seemed to receive this induction. The light emitted was brighter, no weaker than the midday sun. Instead, a faint white line was formed, stretching towards the sky.

Pang Ban looked around at the crowd below the platform and said calmly: "Once, like you, I felt endless confusion about this world, and the future was just darkness, sinking and despair. I couldn't find the answer to all this in the world, and it wasn't until I received the help of Lord Chan Peng that I understood where the hope was.

The Lord God is just, wise, and merciful. Believe in Him with your heart, and He will bring us light and hope!

But we should not only hope for the help of the gods, but also strive for self-reliance, and never become corrupted into parasites, otherwise one day His Highness will abandon the corrupted us.

I still remember the legend that has been passed down in the past, whenever we encounter a great crisis, a hero will come and lead our people to work together to reshape the future of our humanity. But with the long dark time, the deeds of these heroes have been forgotten, and only endless suffering remains. But today is different, yet another hero will come to our world and lead us against this dark age of sin, the leader sent to us by His Highness the Lord God, and she will bring victory! ”

At this point, Pompard paused, swept over the faces below that were mixed with awe and excitement, took a deep breath, and continued: "For the sake of the future, for the sake of our children, for the sake of light and peace, for the sake of being able to live freely and peacefully under this sky, now please follow me to sing the praises of the Lord God with my heart, and invest all our piety. ”

After speaking, Pang Ban knelt down on one knee directly in front of everyone, lowered his head and began to chant in a low voice.

Then, the crowd under the platform knelt down and began to pray.

The nature of the fragment plane is that it is easily infiltrated by external energy, whether it is dark or light, and in the same way, internal energy is just as easy to seep outward - provided there is the right guidance.

As everyone prayed, a white light appeared in the sky and became brighter and brighter, even overpowering the brightness of the sun, and the light emitted by the altar became more and more brilliant, and the light extending upwards became longer and wider, and finally connected with the white light of the sky, forming a white pillar of light that penetrated the heavens and the earth.

……

In the enchantment of the Endless Void.

The originally spherical barrier seemed to be transformed into a laser emitting device, launching a thick pillar of light, piercing the darkness of the void like a sharp sword.

A transparent door opened in the barrier, standing in front of Chen Peng and Adelaida, and Olivia, who had been living in the barrier, was in the farthest corner, with two claws in front of her, quietly staring at the scene through the gaps in the claws.

"You've read all the information, and if you need to, you can also contact Yugong directly through the altar. It will help you. Are you ready? Chen Peng asked flatly.

"Alright." Adelaida replied calmly, her eyes fixed on the door in front of her, unable to get a glimpse of her inner thoughts from her expression.

"I wish you victory and triumph."

"Thank you."

Chen Peng bowed slightly, and the door in front of him suddenly opened slowly, revealing a dazzling light behind the door.

Without hesitation, Adelaida stepped into the light, and then her figure was completely swallowed by the light.

……

This indescribable scene shook everyone present. Some people who have experienced divine grace are mostly happy, while others are shocked and even have a fear when they see such a scene for the first time, which is a reflection of their own insignificance in the face of too large a gap in level.

Regardless of the feeling, this scene can be called an extremely strong impact on the hearts of those present, making their prayers even more religious.

And with piety, the pillar of light that runs through the heavens and the earth grows bigger and brighter, and finally even the sun is eclipsed in front of it. It's like being the only source of light for the whole world.

Everyone could see that the endless waves of white light spread outward like water streaks, and everywhere the light went, whether it was the sky or the earth, living beings or plants, rocks and seawater, wisps of black smoke emitted wisps of black smoke, and then they were submerged and eliminated by the light.

Right now. A silent roar rang out in everyone's hearts, as if a bell had been rung in their hearts. Even the soul seemed to be shaken away. At the same time, outside the pillar of light, endless clouds of black smoke rushed towards the pillar of light as if they were alive, forming hundreds of huge tornadoes, trying to devour the pillar of light.

But when they came to the range of the Dawning Heights, it was as if the tornadoes had crashed into an invisible wall. Blocked by the dead, unable to go any further, he could only roar and curse in vain outside.

Everyone watched this scene with great shock, and then they were full of confidence in the future. As the prayers were recited, many people could not help but cry bitterly, but even so, the prayers in their mouths did not stop, but became more reverent, all the voices gathered together, as if they were about to break through the sky, and the power of the pillar of light was even stronger.

Pang Ban looked up at this scene, feeling the powerful power inside, his eyes were full of determination, and he knew that his choice was not wrong.

I don't know when it began, people's prayers began to echo in the pillar of light, and pieces of strange runes with golden light began to rotate around the pillar of light, and more and more, forming circles of light. Ordinary people couldn't read it, but Pang Ban understood that the runes were the Chinese translations of the prayers carved into the altar wall, so as to consolidate and confirm Chen Peng's connection to the world.

Once the words were settled, the light floating in the sky instantly dimmed, and then suddenly burst out, and a sun-like ball of light appeared, which began to fall down along the pillar of light, and if you looked closely, you could faintly see the shadow of a person from the ball of light.

The orb of light grew closer to the altar, and the light that spread out became more and more intense, and all the people chanted louder to welcome her arrival.

But there are exceptions.

When the light was strong at a boundary, several new subjects in the crowd who had not been in the territory for long suddenly let out a scream of pain, only to see wisps of black qi coming out of their bodies, and then their bodies began to swell, becoming stronger than humans, their pupils contracted like needle tips, and their throats sounded like the wheezing sound of wild beasts.

Immediately afterward, they pounced on Pang Patch on the platform, trying to hunt down the key man on the spot.

The people around screamed, some wanted to come to the rescue, and some instinctively seemed to avoid it, and suddenly it became a mess. And Pang Ban on the stage seemed to be unaware of this, still maintaining his original posture, praying sincerely.

Just when these enemies hidden among ordinary people were about to come to Pang Ban, a strong man in golden armor stood in front of them, just raised his right hand slightly, and suddenly countless pale golden lines swarmed out. Almost instantly, every enemy flew upside down as if they had been hit hard, and fell heavily to the ground, and the surrounding soldiers who were on guard had rushed over, subduing or killing them.

The commotion quickly subsided.

People looked in awe at this powerful warrior who was mortally wounded in the last moment of the beast tide battle, but survived the miracle, and their hearts suddenly settled down.

In the end, the ball of light in the sky landed on the top of the altar and slowly entered the core hall, and lost the illumination of the ball of light, the sky suddenly darkened, and those black clouds came back again, as if to stop it.

At this moment, Pang Ban raised his scepter with one hand and shouted loudly, "Pray to His Highness the Lord God, let us witness this time together!" ”

The metal ball at the top of the scepter immediately burst out a ray of light and connected to the pillar of light, and the pillar of light lit up again, breaking through all the black cloud barriers!

Suddenly, everyone shouted together, and all the sadness, all the unwillingness, and all the anger seemed to be contained in it, turning into the sound of thunder that even the heavens and the earth were shaken, echoing above the dawn heights.

In an instant, all the black smoke cloud tornadoes were dispersed and disappeared, and the sky returned to its original brightness, leaving only an unwilling roar echoing in the air, which quickly dissipated.

And the pillar of light began to fade slowly, leaving only the altar still emitting a soft light.

The door of the altar slowly opened, and two rows of white-clothed girls walked out of the door singing hymns, countless petals floated in the air, and the milky white light spread outward like water lines, and finally, a purple-haired girl in a beautiful military costume walked out and came straight to Pang Ban's side, facing the people in the audience.

"My name is Adelaida. Rohavey, my coming represents the will of the Lord God, and I will lead you to victory over your enemies and establish true order! ”

The eyes of everyone in the audience subconsciously looked at Pang Ban on the side, and the archbishop took out a gorgeous long sword and held it in both hands and sent it to Adelaida.

Adlaida calmly took the long sword and held it high above the top, and in an instant, a dazzling light shot out from the sword, as if holding a sun in her hand.

Suddenly, all the people cheered enthusiastically.

……

Seeing this scene, Chen Peng ended watching with relief. Now that all the pieces have been dropped, and then waiting for the harvest day to come, he is looking forward to what kind of report Adelaida can hand over in this fragment plane.

As an AI that has been completely mutated, it has never been possible to merge with Adelaida's emotions and experiences that once existed in the real world, and now she is no different from the real Adelaida's soul, and I don't know if this phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing, after all, this is something that even Iris people have never tried.

Now placing Adelaida on the Fragment Plane is just the right time to make a comprehensive and detailed observation, and everything is under his control, so there is no need to worry about any surprises.

After this incident, Chen Peng no longer stayed here, and returned directly to the real world, and his eyes immediately became the scene of his own personal studio.

He got up, opened the locked door, and walked out, the warm light of the living room suddenly caught his eyes.

"Hi Chen Peng, your retreat is finally over. Come on, I've got a plan for you to read. ”

A young female voice sounded, and then a pretty face full of sunlight appeared in front of him, making him feel a faint pain in his temples.

He swept his gaze, and sure enough, he saw Pan Luyao's slightly resentful gaze not far away.

"Miao Miao, wait a minute, let me rest and then watch."

What appeared in front of Chen Peng was Zhang Danmiao, who came to Birmingham at some point. (To be continued......)
