One Thousand Twenty-One Heavenly Mountain, Immortal Will with Gronia
On the first layer of Heavenly Mountain, huge cloud islands converge together to form mountains that break through the sky.
These cloud islands are basically wilderness, probably because the divine power has been extracted too badly, and although it looks like the vegetation is vigorous and colorful, it is difficult to see the details, like a mirage image projected on an inferior curtain.
The white jade staircase runs through these fields, extending upwards until it reaches the clouds. The clouds are illuminated with golden light, and it seems that the clouds are the real Heavenly Mountain.
Countless feathered and mottled Chaos Angels are shackled, and under the supervision of pure white winged angels, they travel back and forth between the majestic staircases. Some carry materials, some polish stone steps, or carve idols of gods in the steps.
The statues of the gods were of different shapes and solemn postures, but they had no faces.
It used to have a face, but now it's gone.
Above the golden clouds is a void-like world, with golden waterfalls descending from the zenith, filling the whole world with a peaceful golden light.
The trunk of the grand staircase rose in the void to the golden rays of the sun at the top. Several branches stretch along the way, connecting with the floating land.
Under the sun, behind the floating land and the void, countless runes piled up a background similar to the wall of the world. The golden waterfalls cascade down and dissipate into the background, making the world more real little by little.
This is the second level of the Heavenly Mountain, where the slaves of the gods of order have settled the kingdom of God, and the other gods who participated in the Platinum Covenant have built temples here.
Countless angels shuttled through it, carrying the materials piled up in the cloud square to the floating land high in the canopy, where the golden waterfall fell. All kinds of materials from the main plane are processed into various components on the floating land, filling the void little by little.
Ascend the Endless Staircase to the top, which was supposed to be the third level of the Heavenly Mountain, but now the kingdom of the Goddess of Order.
The Kingdom of Order has not yet been integrated with the Heavenly Mountain, because the second layer has not yet been repaired, and now it has only opened up a passage, from which it can lead directly to the Kingdom of Order.
At the end of the steps, in front of the gate of the Kingdom of God, there is a huge statue on the left and right that is several kilometers high.
One was dressed in a long dress, wore a crown on his head, and held a long sword. One is dressed in armor and stands with a shield.
The statue was supposed to have details, but now it's all blurred, and the face on the statue is blurred.
A large group of angels are busy at the head of the statue, wielding hammers and chisels to carve outlines into the face.
With each engraving of a line, the line twists and disappears quickly.
The angels numbly continued to carve, repeating this meaningless labor.
Penetrating through the Gate of the Kingdom of God, the original fields and buildings have been divided by the criss-crossing golden light, waiting to merge with the Heavenly Mountain.
The Angels of Order and the Divine Acolytes were busy coming and going, and the number was much smaller than when Theresia first went to the Kingdom of God.
In the center of the kingdom of God, in the Throne of Order, the projections of knights, laws, nobles, and joy disappeared from the gods, as well as the allies of the red dragon, silver dragon, and storm god, and the golden figure of the god on the throne swayed, and a hum of incomprehensible meaning was unclear.
The goddess of order, who had been exactly like Theresia, had now collapsed into a monstrous being made up of several swirls.
"I'll fix it, I'll ...... soon"
The Goddess of Order responded to the other gods who sent them questions, and this was the assurance she had just made to the Servants and her allies.
He lost Theresia......
Theresia's memories are still there, but without Theresia's will, those memories are mirage dramas, and they can't be turned into their own thinking or even wisdom at all.
It's not just a matter of losing the heart of a mortal, it's the heart of the gods that has lost its support, and there is only one purpose left, the one left by Theresia: to repair the Heavenly Mountain and create an eternal order.
It is not enough to have this purpose, but also to have a will that is sufficient to carry this purpose. The will of the present god comes from the sublimation of the mortal soul, and without such will, it is only an empty throne.
If the goddess of order wishes, she can choose among the hundreds of millions of believers, choose the right mortal, and lead their souls to merge into the divine seat, so as to gain a new will.
But he was not so weak that he was left with only the throne, and there was still a wealth of wealth left in the throne, in the heart of his gods. Relying on the remnants of Kem's will alone, it can be sustained without relying on the sublimated will of mortals.
And no mortal could please Him, Cam was originally mortal, Kelasdra was mortal, and Theresia was mortal. The hearts of the gods who have accepted the will of these mortals have been difficult to turn into water. It is impossible for an ordinary soul to sublimate a complete will from the ruins of these great wills, let alone carry such a great cause as eternal order.
Isn't it better, that's the premise that the gods can be eternal. ”
"As long as the Heavenly Mountain is repaired and the eternal order is created, the present god can become an independent, complete, and eternal great being without relying on the will of mortals. ”
"That's the real ...... Conspiracy. ”
The details of the Goddess of Order's thinking are incomprehensible to mortals, but if they are reduced to examining the relationship between action and purpose from the perspective of life's state of mind, they can still understand Her thoughts.
He doesn't really have any complicated ideas, cells obey the laws of genes and pursue division, paramecium obeys the laws of life to survive, and the gods seek eternity.
The stormy figure of the human form gradually condensed, and after a while, a beautiful and dignified and dignified goddess appeared, and at first glance it was not an ordinary person. No matter how you look at it, the face and body are flawless, and such perfection can only exist in the imagination of mortals.
A closer look at the face reveals traces of Kelastro and Theresia, as well as details of Kem's appearance as a woman, with a straight nose and eyes that resemble the presence of a name that can destroy the style of painting.
As soon as this figure condensed, the details of the face and body began to blur again, which meant that the angels who carved the statues of the gods had to start from scratch again.
"It seems that we still need to rely on ......"
He sighed, and his thoughts fell on the seraphim archangel standing solemnly below.
Sensing the attention of the gods, the archangel knelt down: "What does my lord command?"
No, this one doesn't fit......
There is no problem with the strength of the will, even stronger than that of Theresia, but only a very pitiful fragment of the soul remains, which is not enough to condense the complete will. And the past that has been humiliated will also be a huge stain and flaw for the Throne of Order.
If the soul is more complete than the strength of the will, there is another one on the throne.
His thoughts fell on the corner of the temple, on the soul that was still repeating the process of shattering and condensing.
He wasn't Theresia anymore, and he didn't have a special perception of that soul, let alone emotions.
His thoughts wandered for a while, and He made a decision.
The punishment ended, and the red-haired girl's soul slowly rose. It was like a very long nightmare, and her eyes were still foggy.
"I hate you more than Theresia......"
"She actually left such an ugly, weak, and lowly soul as you on the throne of God to torture you for pleasure......"
"I will never tolerate ......"
"Let's go and make up for Heavenly Mountain......"
The goddess of order waved her hand, and a golden light rose from the ground, instantly sweeping away the red-haired girl.
"The Holy Maiden of Order can only help me to see the flow of the power of faith, and can no longer understand all the details and understand the origin of the power of faith as clearly as when man and God are united. ”
The Goddess of Order's divine thought fell on the blazing divine fire above her head, and while Theresia's will was still there, the divine fire was a vast database for her, and it was constantly refreshing the infinite amount of data.
The power of faith contained in each trace of divine fire comes from which mortal comes, and the power of faith comes from devotion to order, or worship of gods, or reciting sacred scriptures, killing heretics, and other behaviors. Going deeper, you can even tell the faintest divine power contributed by an apprentice who has just lit the divine light of order, because the empress clone will look at that apprentice from the perspective of a mortal.
Now he can't do it, he can only see the believers above the legend, and he can only distinguish the ups and downs of the power of faith among mortals.
Compared to the previous state of unity between man and God, He is actually more powerful.
Any mortal who mentions His divine name, He senses it and instantly understands all the words within a few seconds, within a radius of a hundred meters.
He can send divine thoughts upon any believer to reward, punish or give them a sustenance.
He can also center any believer and sense the situation around him.
But he could no longer understand the mortal mind, could not discern whether the mortal belief in him came from an image or something else, and could no longer rule a country like an empress doppelganger.
Because He doesn't need it anymore, as a powerful deity of the old times, He doesn't need to discern the source of the power of faith, He doesn't need to rule over mortals directly. Like a field of wheat, He only needs to care about the harvest of the whole field, and he does not need to ask about the relationship between the ears of wheat and the grains.
This is undoubtedly dangerous, because this is not the old era.
Only by repairing the Heavenly Mountain and establishing an eternal order will the world return to the old era.
"Until then, there is still something to rely on. ”
The Goddess of Order made another decision, grabbing it out of thin air, and having an extra cloak in her hand.
It was a dark red cloak with a few more vivid red spots left on it.
The golden light flowed on the cloak, and the red spots were melted by the golden light, seeping evenly into the cloak.
The cloak turned bright red and floated onto the Goddess of Order, allowing the details of His vanishing to reappear.
The recondensed face looked more like Theresia, but the bridge of the nose and eyes still retained the unspeakable features.
"Very well, when Ariel enters the Crown of Order, merge her with my will, and then let her succeed to the throne, so that the reign of the Dawning Empire can be maintained. ”
"It just needs to ...... One year, up to one year......"
The goddess of order sits upright on a throne, her bright red cloak unfurled by the wind, and her horns are written in ancient Elven script: "Immortal Will".
Outside the kingdom of God, the lines carved by the angels on the huge statues on the left and right of the stairs finally stopped disappearing.
In the depths of the space, on the wall of golden light runes that seemed to be in sight, the red-haired girl in the soul state was posted on the wall on all fours.
The golden liquid like blood seeped out of the body, soaking the surrounding large pieces of rune golden light flickering, gathering wisps of golden light and falling downward, and finally converging into a golden light waterfall.
The red-haired girl's eyes were hollow, her soul twitching at a rhythm similar to a heartbeat, and she murmured unconsciously in a low voice.
"Gro...... Nia ......"
