Chapter 198: God Must Like Such a Celebration, Right?
Chen Ji sat in a room on the top of the Sun Tower of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers, and from the window, he watched the people who poured into the top square of the Starlight Holy City to participate in the celebration and worship the Creator.
Several elves of Miranda served by his side.
Unaffected by the anomaly on her forehead, Astana responded to the believers with the divine power of the Goddess of Starlight, giving them peace of soul and faith.
Chen Ji couldn't understand the specific content of the ceremony, but could only see starlight emanating from Astana's scepter, constructing a scene of stars surrounding the Sun and Moon Twin Towers in the sky.
Meredith, as the goddess of harvest and festivities, also performed her magic skills, using the ears of rice and wheat that Chen Ji gave her at the beginning of her hand, and tapped the World Tree, so that the two Starlight World Trees bore magic fruits, and the fragrance and magic power were emitted together, causing everyone to marvel.
"It's over?"
Chen Ji saw the crowd disperse, and estimated that Astana's work as a goddess was almost over.
"God!" The elf Miranda replied respectfully: "The ceremony of the celebration is over, and then there is the part of the celebration that belongs to the feast, usually the bonfire, the wine tasting, the ball, the singing of poetry, etc., and the cheering continues until late at night." ”
Chen Ji nodded, and saw a neat group of knights, dressed in armor and holding spears and swords, either riding horses or trotting into the square, standing neatly in a certain queue.
Judging from the various armors on the knights, as well as their races, these teams come from various human empires and races from the Divine Grace Continent.
All the survivors' races, nationalities, and those who were able to assemble a combat team sent people to the square.
Not only knights, but also magicians with staffs, thieves in leather armor, rangers with bows and arrows, etc.
They stood there silently, looking up slightly at the Tower of the Sun, the atmosphere of slaughter and tension permeating, completely different from the previous hilarious atmosphere.
The crowd around was quiet.
The ladies who were dressed up in fancy clothes stopped whispering and waited uneasily.
Chen Ji was also waiting, staring at these warriors who had been through a hundred battles and survived from the beginning of the arrival of the evil god.
Each of them has experienced the baptism of blood and fire, faced the endless army of evil treants, seen the devouring of an entire city, fused with the massive aberration brood of millions of people, and seen the terrifying sight of the kingdom of the gods falling from the sky and the earth shattering.
They have survived to the present.
still has an indomitable will to fight, even in the face of the evil god, fear is born in the soul, but still clenched the weapon in his hand.
They are the ones who fought to the end in the Divine Grace Continent!
"God is watching us."
Astana had a soft voice, smiled and turned her head to look at the Lord she believed in.
Chen Ji smiled and did not speak.
When he was at the foot of the mountain before, he didn't say much, not because he deliberately maintained the majesty of God, but because he was afraid that his words as the creator would lead to unpredictable consequences.
"God has given us the land to live in, given us warm sunshine, purified the pervasive evil, and brought us a long-lost harvest celebration."
"God is here, watching us."
Astana continued, speaking in the beautiful language of poetry or prayer: "Today, we are bathed in the sun, immersed in the joy of the harvest, where the sun shines, and all evil ceases to exist! ”
People whispered words of praise to God.
"Under the power of God's eternal sun, it is as if we have returned to the good old days."
"But please don't forget the vows we made before God."
"And don't forget where we used to be."
"Loman, Eve Capet, San Vano, Ossat, Elven Forest, Mellon...... Our former home, where our loved ones are buried, are now walking aimlessly through the ruins after their bodies are controlled by the brood. ”
Astana's voice was full of emotion, reciting the familiar and unfamiliar names of the people, awakening their memories for a long time, causing them to burst into tears and whisper a requiem.
"Please do not grieve, people of God."
Astana said softly: "God is watching us, we also believe in God devoutly, we have received the gift of God, with the power of God to destroy evil, take back our homeland, in every place on the continent, build temples, let the light of God illuminate the entire continent of divine grace!" ”
"Let the light of God illuminate the Divine Grace Continent!!"
Everyone shouted together, looking up at the Tower of the Sun, their expressions full of excitement and fanaticism.
Astana continued, and the mood grew hotter.
Chen Ji gradually understood that Astana was mobilizing before the war, and she reminded them during the celebration not to indulge in the joy of the moment, to always remember that the mainland was still occupied by evil gods, to hold on to weapons, to attack bravely, and not to be immersed in a moment of tranquility.
She should have discussed with the emperors of several major empires and the kings of various races in advance, and set up seven expeditionary forces in the celebration, with seven elves as commanders, and are about to set off to go deep into the evil place, save survivors, kill monsters, bring back more supplies, etc.
The seven elves were only the commanders in name, and the real commanders were the empires and churches, and Astana could only fully control the tens of thousands of Templar legions.
However, tens of thousands of Knights Templar were already strong.
Chen Ji saw that the Dragon Queen Tess, the Magic Rainbow Dragon Delori, Beamon, the God of Thieves, the Druids and many other powerhouses all belonged to the Templar Knights, and other Saint Rank and Demigod powerhouses who did not belong also joined the Templar Knights.
The Knights Templar, the Priesthood, and the Seven Expeditionary Armies were the last force in the counterattack of the survivors of the Starlight Holy City.
Of course, the Goddess of Starlight Order, the Goddess of Harvest Celebration, and the six elves who directly believe in Chen Ji and get close to the Creator are the ultimate and strongest backing.
……
"Now, enjoy today's harvest and celebration!"
Astana smiled brightly, "God is watching us, our future is full of hope, praise the great God!" ”
"Praise be to the great God!"
People of all races in the Divine Grace Continent cheered again.
The tension in the holy city dissipated, the people dispersed from the square, returned to their familiar places, some stayed in the city, some left the city, returned to the small villages on the edge of the farmland, many elves went to the forest, goblins burrowed into the ground, and they prepared for the celebration of the night in various ways.
"God~"
Astana, who finished the ceremony, turned around and carried the white skirt of the goddess, and walked to him quickly, her beautiful face flushed, "God, is Astana doing well?" ”
She naturally squatted in front of Chen Ji, gently wrapped her hands around his knees, and looked up at Chen Ji with a fair face.
Astana's white goddess dress is very beautiful, holy and elegant, and her long white and golden hair is scattered behind her beautiful back, which makes her look more and more like a dazzling and beautiful goddess.
Chen Ji's gaze involuntarily fell from her beautiful face, down to her long neck, her beautiful collarbone, and then saw her graceful figure in the white goddess dress.
Astana, who had just shown the majesty of the goddess in front of the believers and accepted the worship and admiration of the believers, knelt down on one knee in the blink of an eye, looking up at him meekly.
"God ......"
Realizing God's affection for her, Astana's eyes softened with a hint of shame.
Among the seven beautiful elves gathered around, Meredith was the first to blush, and the other elves reacted more or less.
“…… You did very well! ”
Chen Ji hurriedly said, Meredith on the side was a little lost.
Astana bit her lip and boldly took Chen Ji's hand, "God, please come with me...... You're all keeping along. ”
"Where are you going?"
Chen Ji was dragged away by her, followed by the seven elves.
first stood on the magic array and returned to the temple, and then from the temple's teleportation array to the Moon Garden, and as soon as he came back, Astana hugged Chen Ji, leaned on his arms, and muttered:
"God, no one can disturb here, this is the Divine Domain of Astana, and it is also our paradise, you, you can... Random. ”
She stammered and couldn't go on.
Seven beautiful elves followed, and they had already understood Astana's words, and they bowed their heads shyly together.
In the beautifully built Moon Garden, there are tents everywhere and wide benches, and Chen Ji can indeed rest and release his mood and others at will.
"Astana ......"
Chen Ji is angry, who can be as calm as water at this moment?
But.
He still didn't take any action, just hugged the god-descendant saintess who confessed to him affectionately.
"Come, let's talk."
Chen Ji put his arms around Astana's soft waist and led the seven elves to the throne of the gods, he and Astana sat up, and the seven elves obediently sat on the seven chairs in front of them.
"Astana sat down beside God?"
Coming from the Forest of Elves, Parame, who has a soft personality, noticed this scene, and Astana sat next to the god, and without embarrassment, she naturally sat down and next to him.
Pamela was thoughtful.
The gods they believe in and serve all their lives are indeed different from other gods, not only more powerful.
"God. What do you want us to do? Astana asked, "Or, what do you want to ask us?" ”
"It's nothing."
Chen Ji calmed down.
The seven elves were very well-behaved, giving and asking for what they wanted, as if they were treated like emperors, which made Chen Ji refresh his cognition of the Divine Grace Continent.
In the past, he simply knew that his status as the creator was very high, but until now, he can let Astana, who is a goddess, and the seven elves do anything at will, and the entire Moon Garden is his playground.
With the right to do whatever he wanted to them, Chen Ji understood what the identity of the Creator meant to the people of the Divine Grace Continent.
It's not just a rescue, it's a condescending look.
"Astana, are you a godborn? A descendant of the goddess of light? ”
Chen Ji has calmed down.
Being condescending doesn't give him much of a sense of accomplishment, and if he could, he would rather have an open-minded communication with Astana and the elves.
In layman's terms, I want both body and mind.
"Hmm."
A smile bloomed on Astana's beautiful face, and she was not disappointed after being rejected, and replied softly to her god: "I grew up in the Church of Light, and Pope Charu and other priests and bishops were responsible for teaching and honoring me, saying that I was the last heir of the goddess on the continent. ”
"Who is your mother? Or a father? ”
Chen Ji's question seems very strange, if the goddess of light wants to give birth to an heir, is she going to be kissed by Astana's mother? It couldn't have been the goddess of light who gave birth to her daughter Astana, right?
"I don't know."
The Divine Descendant Saintess with long white and blonde hair shook her head obediently beside Chen Ji, and added with some embarrassment: "God, in our place, the Divine Descendant can also fall directly from the Kingdom of God to the mainland, and be born directly from the power of the gods...... It's just that there are very few such gods, and most of them are brought back after the gods go to the kingdom of God. ”
"Divine servant?"
"Well, it's the one who serves the gods."
Through Astana's explanation, Chen Ji knew what a divine servant was.
In layman's terms, it is the emperor's concubine.
But God's concubines are usually also gods, and god's servants are just ordinary believers.
They are chosen by the gods to serve the gods in the kingdom of God, and if they are specially favored by the gods, they can give birth to gods.
How great the power of the ancient emperors was, how capricious the way the gods chose the gods.
For example, he could send down an oracle so that beautiful women such as Queen Ellen of Eve Capet, Queen Estel of the Elven Kingdom, and dragons Tess and Delorie could be called to serve as gods, regardless of whether they were married or not, and whether they belonged to them or not.
Of course, they have the right to refuse.
However, this is tantamount to turning away from the faith, leaving the church and believing in other gods.
It is said that there are many women whose beauty has alarmed several gods, and they have been fought over by the gods, which has also led to a god war.
The more Chen Ji listened, the more he felt that the gods of the Divine Grace Continent were like emperors, looking down on the mortals of the Divine Grace Continent.
But mortals still believe in them and give everything to the gods.
"The goddess has returned to the beginning."
Astana said softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Chen Ji shook her hand, and every time she mentioned the goddess of light, Astana always addressed her as a goddess, unlike other gods.
"I've heard Charu say that." Astana said embarrassedly: "The goddess once sent an oracle, saying that I am the last hope of this continent, I survive, there is still a glimmer of hope, if I die, this continent will be completely occupied by the evil gods, reduced to a dark and disorderly zone, until the first next awakening." ”
"Pope Charu says you're the last hope?"
Chen Ji was a little surprised, Astana was the last god descendant, but she was also the one who could connect with him.
What exactly?
"Hmm."
Astana whispered, "But I don't believe it, Charu may just... Treat me as a goddess, and when the goddess returns to the beginning, he almost... Lost hope of living. ”
Chen Ji was silent.
The seven elves also lowered their heads and glanced at each other.
"The first time you're awake?" Chen Ji asked again.
"It's an old legend."
Astana smiled and said, "It is said that at first after every deep sleep, he would wake up to look at the world, and if he saw the gods behaving indiscriminately, he would send disaster and make the gods lose their power. ”
"Disaster? Have there ever been before? ”
Chen Ji remembered that before, when he held Astana, he had a vague sense of what existed in this world.
He suspected that it was the original, or perhaps the god of death who still existed.
"Not ever."
Astana shook her head, "Such a catastrophe is not something that the gods and us can withstand, if it is the first to come, the goddess will know." ”
Chen Ji remembered one thing: "You said before that the evil god came because of a poem? ”
Astana couldn't answer, because the goddess had fallen.
Chen Ji didn't ask any more, glanced at the elves, and said with a smile: "Okay, then it's time for the celebration." ”
The elves blushed in unison, helpless.
"Uh, I mean, Harvest Celebration!"
"Hee-hee."
Astana chuckled shyly, stood up and said, "God, wait a moment, the elves and I will go and change clothes." ”
"Change of clothes?"
Chen Ji's question was not answered by them, and Astana led the elves blushing and walked with light steps into the remnant temple where the sculptures were placed.
By the time they came out, they had all changed into the same clothes as they were in the sculpture.
Chen Ji understood.
No wonder there were clothes in the remnants of the temple, and it turned out that Astana and the elves had used themselves as models to carve out the works of art.
But the statue is a work of art, which can only be admired and cannot be used.
And after Astana and the others became the appearance of the statue, not only did Chen Ji appreciate it, but also had many uses.
“…… God. ”
Meredith shyly picked up the fruit that had just been offered to the Divine Grace Continent on the table, plucked up the courage to kneel at his feet, and said softly and affectionately: "Meredith will always be your believer and is willing to offer everything to you. ”
The fruit-like figure of the harvest made Chen Ji unable to take his eyes off it.
"God, so is Alice~~"
"Hee-hee, so do we!"
Astana sat beside Chen Ji and watched with a smile as the beautiful elves enthusiastically and boldly dedicated their faith.
God must like such a celebration, right?
