Chapter 190: Temple of the Sun

God cannot see mortals, just as mortals cannot see the dust under their feet. ((7764)οΌ‰

Looking down from an altitude of 1,200 meters, there is no trace of human activity visible to the naked eye, and even those bustling cities that never sleep are just a little candle flame in the night.

The cold temperatures in the sky are far less than humans can handle, so a huge crystal belt of 33,000 sun crystal prisms surrounds the city outside Sky City, circling the city every 24 hours, providing an all-day heat supply to this miracle city.

Travelers who have visited Sky City have likened the city they see to a spinning top, and the Temple of the Sun, known as the "closest place to the gods", stands on the axis of this top. Legend has it that this is the limit of human civilization's exploration of this world, and one step up from the dome of the Temple of the Sun can reach the realm of the true gods.

The decoration of the Sun Temple is not luxurious, and it is particularly low-key and simple compared to other gods and gods, because the sun itself is already the ultimate existence in this world, and there is no need to boast in any other way.

In the empty cathedral, the notes of ethereal chants faintly floated, and three young girls dressed in white knelt in front of the idol, their hands clenched into fists on their chests, and their eyes closed and their mouths silently chanted prayers. A bright ray of sunlight fell from above the dome, enveloping the three maidens. As the prayer voices in their mouths gradually increased, a faint golden light appeared on the girls' bodies, and a pair of translucent white winged phantoms slowly unfolded behind them.

Such a sacred scene was a memory that Tiana wanted to forget, she once thought that she had sealed these pasts in the depths of her memory, but now she actually reappeared in her mind.

The girl sighed softly, and although everything seemed to be yesterday, she was well aware that some things had changed completely, and there was no possibility of undoing it.

Tiana walked slowly into the cathedral, and the three maidens seemed to be unaware of the stranger's arrival, and she did not look at the three maidens, but raised her head and stared silently at the dome of the temple.

Invisible to the naked eye of an ordinary person, in the sunlight that poured down from the dome, there was a golden throne suspended. The man with the long beard and the loose robe sat on the throne, he looked like a young man with the vicissitudes of time, a strong and not rugged body, with a perfect male body, his appearance was not particularly handsome, but he had a unique masculine charm that would make any woman fall in love at a glance. 【(7764)】He supported his chin with his hands, his eyes half-squinted, and the depth of his eyes that occasionally revealed seemed to span thousands of years.

As if noticing Tiana's gaze, the man on the throne opened his eyes, lowered his head and smiled slightly: "Long time no see, my child." ”

"My lord, may your glory be immortal for all eternity. Tiana reached out to her chest and bowed slightly.

From the moment she saw this man, the girl knew that it was not an illusion in her mind.

The ignorant can speculate about the power of God, just as a frog in a well sits on a well and watches the sky, and only the closer one is to God, the more he understands God's omnipotence. Despite abandoning her former identity, the girl did not dare to have a trace of disrespect for that man in her heart, because he knew everything, could do anything, sat upright in the sky and looked down on all beings, he was one of the masters of this world, the sun god Pero.

"I've been watching you, but you've never answered my call. Perot said with a sigh.

As one of the most powerful gods in this world, he didn't show his divine might in front of the girl, just like an ordinary elder, and talked about family life calmly.

Many people think that "God loves the world" is a common philosophy promoted by the sects of the gods, but in fact this phrase originally existed only in the opening chapter of the Bible in the line of the sun god.

The god of war craves war, the god of death needs the souls of the dead, and the god of nature prefers the wild law of survival of the fittest, and each god has different rules, and the believers and doctrines are naturally very different. Unlike the sun god, the sun itself is not a rule, it is only a part of the world.

Because there is the sun, there is life in this world.

Many people know that the sun god is the main god who is the most friendly to human beings, or he is relatively friendly to most of the terrestrial races in this world, and can be called the guardian of this world. But only a handful of people know that the sun god has done much more to the world than he can say.

The so-called legend that Sky City is close to the Kingdom of God actually refers to the Kingdom of the Sun God. In fact, the dome of the Temple of the Sun is the stairway connecting the kingdom of God to this world. Among the many gods, only the sun god has the powerful ability to project directly into the nether, and it is this passage that connects the two realms that he makes use of.

"My lord, I am a traitor and am not worthy to receive your favor. Tiana bowed her head deeply and said with some trepidation.

"Don't you still regret the choice you made?" Perro asked in a deep voice.

"I was shaken, but now I've found the answer. Tiana whispered.

"Have you ever thought that if you came back to me and got back who you deserved, it would be easier to help those who suffered. Perot looked at the girl and said patiently.

"I didn't have the power to help them, I just gave them a little hope. Only human beings themselves can save themselves, and this drive for self-salvation is hope, which is what you have taught me. Tiana looked up and said.

"I'm glad you remember that, but that's not what you really think. You grew up in the wind and rain outside, but you were also polished off those beautiful edges. ”

Perro raised his finger and tapped twice on the top of the girl's head, and laughed softly: "You know that there is no point in hiding it in front of me, and there is no need, I want to hear what you really think." ”

It's not that the girl doesn't want to speak, but she doesn't know how to organize her language. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but if you have been watching me, you must have noticed the changes that have taken place in the world around me. The war in the underworld has spread to the mortal world, and the undead and plague are about to engulf the kingdom of Oakland. What really disturbs me is that in the face of this catastrophe, the will of the gods in heaven has disappeared! The chosen people of the goddess of life have become a terrible monster, but she is indifferent to it......"

"I know all of this, and I know the reasons behind it, but I can't tell you the answer right now. Pei Luo glanced at the girl deeply, shook his head helplessly, and said softly, "So...... When you find that the gods cannot protect humanity, you plan to use your own power to save the fate of those who suffer?"

"I beg your pardon, but this path now makes my life more meaningful than sitting on my knees in the cathedral and singing psalms in your praise every day, and living in nothing without eating the misery of the world!" said Tiana, plucking up the courage to exclaim.

Hearing the girl say such rude words, Pei Luo didn't mean to be angry, but nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "It seems that you have indeed found your own path, but you don't have to feel guilty." You are no longer the immature seedling, you have grown into a tree that provides shelter for others, and I am glad to have a child like you. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't back down, stick to the path you choose, I will always watch you......"

By the time the last sentence rang in her ears, Tiana's consciousness had returned to her body. After a brief rest, she awoke from her slumber to find that the self-seal hidden in her body had been broken.

The smell of black tea mixed with boiling herbs brought the girl's nerves back to rest, and she felt herself lying on a warm hay mat with a slightly bumpy plank underneath. The combined analysis of various signs shows that this is a carriage that I am quite familiar with, and the surroundings are safe for the time being.

Although her mind was relaxed, out of the vigilant habit she had developed before, Tiana still subconsciously continued to pretend to be asleep, while listening to the movement outside. She heard the faint sound of glass labware colliding against each other, as if Lolana was tinkering with something on her test bench. On the other side, there was the sound of paper grinding from time to time, and the reader seemed to be a genius with ten lines at a glance, turning the book quickly.

"There's no ...... in this book either," she heard El say in a deliberately low voice.

"Look at the twelfth book on the right in the sixth row of the bookshelf on the left, I remember the "Historical Research of Civilizations and Races in the Middle Ages" written by Van Dillen," Luo Lana's voice sounded on the other side.

"History again, please, don't we have a slightly more vulgar troll-related reading here?" El grumbled as he closed the book.

"Vulgar reading? You mean the kind of novels sold on the stalls? Sorry, there's no way a teacher would put that kind of thing on his shelf. If you need that, I can make a copy for you. Lolana said gloomily, and from her tone, you could hear the girl's standardized business smile, which made people shudder.

"Okay, then settle for the next best, there will always be a record of the Fallen Leaf Swordmaster, right?" El looked at the name of the book in his hand, and stuffed it back into its place with a blank expression.

"Deciduous Sword Master, I have an impression of this, you look for it in the bottom row, there should be a copy of "Exploring the North", I don't remember who the author is, but I am very impressed by the content in it. ”

Luo Lana put down the test tube filled with strange colored liquid in her hand, rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "I remember that the Fallen Leaf Sword Saint Cyprus seems to be a ...... ?"
