Chapter 215: Friends Meet, Goddess News
Demigod Herman.
There are a few people under the Goddess of Light who do not join the church, but work alone outside.
He believes in the goddess, but he has nothing to do with the Church of Light, a person like Herman is a very rare existence in the Divine Grace Continent, and he is the only one who cultivates to the point where he can ignite the divine fire and become a god.
"Herman."
Standing beside Chen Ji, Astana smiled at him: "I'm glad to see that you still have a sober sanity in this royal capital infested by evil gods, if I'm not mistaken, the last time we met was seventy years ago. β
Her status as a godborn allows her to talk to everyone in the Divine Grace Continent on an equal footing.
Chen Ji noticed that Herman's face full of distorted sarcoma had been facing him all the time, and although he couldn't see his eyes, he could tell that Herman was watching him.
However, Herman did not see the evil in his body purified in the moment like the centaur Inos, but remained as it was.
"Magic Dragon."
Herman, whose body was twisted and distorted, was suspended in mid-air, his horrific and deformed face turning slightly, looking at everyone with eyes that could not see where.
He may have looked at the magical rainbow dragon Delori at Astana's feet, but the crowd couldn't see his expression, nor could they see his eyes.
He had been almost completely eroded, his body exuding a frightening evil aura, and his voice took on the form of a hoarse and indistinct monster roar.
"Elven King, Imori."
"High Priest of the Sky God, Rossetti."
"Eve Cape, Ronins."
"Dwarf King, Nogray."
He turned his head, looked at the group below, read out their names and origins, and finally, he turned his gaze to Chen Ji who was standing in front of Astana, and his tone finally fluctuated: "And you, a god of unknown origin, forgive me for not being able to see your identity...... Why are you all together? The original city is no longer defended? β
Unlike the centaurs, Herman knew the First City.
But he didn't go, and Chen Ji could guess it, probably because he thought he was no longer saved, and he didn't want to go to the original city to pollute the people in the city.
"Herman!"
Astana looked at Chen Ji and said with admiration in her eyes: "Standing in front of you is the Lord I believe in, the Creator who created all things outside the void and on the earth of God, who has sheltered the last survivors of the continent, and is a great god that we all believe in!" β
"Praise be to the merciful God!"
Imoryrosetti and the others made a prayer gesture and praised Chen Ji on the magic dragon.
Herman was moved.
These strongest and most powerful people in the Divine Grace Continent that he once knew, including the divine descendant Astana, all believed in this unknown creator god.
Incredible.
But only in this way can it be explained why the magic dragon is willing to let Astana stand up, and why Imory Rossetti and the others are following behind him.
A god beyond the void has come to the Divine Grace Continent!
Herman looked at Chen Ji and said slowly: "Forgive me for looking directly at you, I saw the great power of pure holiness in you, perhaps it was because of your arrival that the evil in my body was suppressed, and I was able to walk out of the church, see Emperor Loman who returned to the royal capital, and also noticed you." β
Imory and the others didn't dare to look directly at Chen Ji, but Herman had a powerful evil god power entrenched in his body, which made him dare to look directly.
Chen Ji smiled and said, "I came for the Goddess of Light Church, you have been in the church, have you seen anything abnormal inside?" β
The corpses of the Nine Domains are the Templars of the Church of Light, and according to Astana, the armor on their bodies bears the emblem of the Church of the Loman King's Capital, proving that the spatial rift is likely to appear there.
Herman was silent for a moment.
Astana and the others looked at him, waiting for his answer.
"I didn't go inside the church."
Herman whispered and bowed slightly to Chen Ji: "Strange god, if you are interested in the church left behind by the goddess of light that I believe in, please follow me." β
Hearing his words, Chen Ji looked at the Divine Descendant Saintess next to him.
"God, the goddess has returned to the beginning, and she has received eternal rest."
Astana said softly.
She left the Church of Light and followed the will of the goddess to believe in a new god.
In this way, Herman, who still believed in the goddess, became the owner of the Church of Light, and the god Astana became a guest.
"Okay, please lead the way."
Chen Ji said to Herman.
Herman turned in silence and flew slowly towards the city.
The crowd followed him.
"Be careful."
Herman suddenly spoke: "The city is full of children of evil gods, and you have the radiance of the power of order in you that will attract their attention. β
"Don't worry." Astana replied simply: "Under the protection of the power of God, evil cannot come near us!" β
Herman didn't say anything more.
Halfway down the road, a large, twisted brood monster was attracted to it, crushing the dilapidated houses in the city along the way, crashing into it.
This is the first monster Chen Ji has seen at close range since he came out.
It devoured many of the Loman people in the city, dozens of meters high, covered with twisted sarcomas and black flower branches, and exuded an aura of evil chaos everywhere.
When DeLori saw it, she remembered her original self and couldn't help but open her mouth and recite the magic spell:
"The great creator has favored my dragon body, and the eternal starlight of God is with me, die, monster!"
A mouthful of starlight dragon flame erupted, and the shining flames smashed towards the brood monster like a meteor shower, dissolving it in an instant, and spewing out a hundred-meter-long flame path along the road, and the dark and evil aura around it was swept away.
Herman's movements paused visibly, as if incredulous.
Chen Ji laughed and said, "Delori, you can use a spell like this?" β
"Because God has indeed taken care of me~"
Delori happily shook the huge dragon tail, and the group of powerhouses of all races following behind her could only fly up and dodge.
Herman turned to look at Chen Ji, and his tone was a little more amazed: "Being able to obtain Astana's faith and give the dragon believers pure power, I now believe that you are a powerful god!" β
Chen Ji smiled and didn't say anything.
Astana smiled and said, "Heman, if you want, God can cleanse you of evil. β
This is to pull him into the church.
Herman shook his head and continued in silence.
The procession soon arrived in front of the Cathedral of the Goddess of Light, the capital of Loman.
It is a magnificent church, built on a low hill above all sides, and the area is so large that you can see that many believers came here to pray in the past.
However, most of the church had been damaged, but it had been infected by the aura of the evil gods, turning gray-black, and almost no light came out.
Why say almost?
Because Chen Ji saw that in front of a huge square halfway up the mountainside, there was a little bit of brilliance coming out of several houses under the statue of the goddess.
Someone lived there, and walked out, staring at Herman and Chen Ji and others who flew back.
"Anria!!"
Astana saw one of those noblewomen from a distance, and her tone couldn't suppress her excitement.
Chen Ji was a little surprised, this was almost the first time he had seen Astana so excited in front of him.
And she shouted very loudly, which was completely different from Chen Ji's impression of her saint's posture.
It's vaguely girly.
When she saw An Liya, Chen Ji could see that she was almost excited, she should have no idea that the other party would be here.
After all, the entire royal capital has fallen, and twenty years have passed.
"Astana?! Is that you? β
An excited voice also came from afar, and Chen Ji smiled and patted her on the shoulder, telling her to hurry over and meet her friends.
"God, please forgive me for my agitation."
Astana held back her mood and waited for Delorie to land in the square before jumping down and hugging the noblewoman who had come running, her dress dirty, and her body also stained by evil spirits.
The light burst forth in an instant.
Astana is the goddess of astral order who has been given authority by Chen Ji, and when evil approaches her, she will be purified immediately.
Anriya's whole body trembled, and her mouth was incredulous: "Astana, you ...... now" Ah, me! β
She touched her face, then her neck, and found that all the things that disgusted her were purified and vanished.
More than a dozen ragged and tired people walked over excitedly, looking at these sudden arrivals in disbelief.
It was not surprising that the sudden arrival shocked them that all of these people were clean, and their bodies emitted a glimmer of light, as if evil had never eroded them.
"Incredible...... How did they do it? Even Master Herman ......"
"Who are they?"
"I saw elves and dwarves!"
"Ah, that's King Mellon, I've been to King Mellon!"
The arrival of Chen Ji and others made this group of survivors living in the Church of Light of King Loman vaguely see the hope of being rescued.
Herman watched all this, and his eyes looked at Chen Ji again.
Astana came over with a haggard face, but a very joyful look on Annya, held her hand, and said happily to Chen Ji: "God, this is Astana's good friend Annya Garcia, she is the princess of Loman, married to the Grand Duke of Garcia, I thought I would never see her again, but I didn't expect Anya to stay in Kanas!" β
Then he introduced Chen Ji's identity to An Liya, which made Princess Loman, who was already a noble lady, show a surprised expression.
Chen Ji looked at her appearance, her figure was very thin, but her bone temperament was very good, and it could be seen that she was a noblewoman with gorgeous clothes and a full and graceful identity before.
"Thank you to the Great Creator." Anria said softly: "You saved Astana, and you saved Anria, and Anria is willing to believe in you as much as Astana." β
She lifted her skirt and knelt in front of Chen Ji, her movements and demeanor were very beautiful, and she deserved to be a princess.
"Get up, and you, too."
The survivors also knelt down with An Liya, and Chen Ji made them all stand up and said, "I have seen your determination, but I will not accept you as a believer, you can go and believe in Astana, the goddess of astral order." β
Alia, who was kneeling, immediately raised her head and looked at her good friend, her eyes widening with a surprised expression.
Astana smiled and lifted her up, and preached to everyone about the great Creator, the kingdom of God and the earth, the eternal starlight, and so on.
A group of people who had already stood up knelt down in front of Chen Ji again.
After tossing for a long time, the excited crowd calmed down and hugged each other.
Because, Astana has already taken action to purify the evil in their bodies, and when a piece of starlight is sprinkled, all the sicknesses in their bodies will disappear, and the evil will disappear without a trace.
Astana, the godborn of the Church of Light, has become the creator's goddess of astral order, and the Divine Charity Continent is once again favored by the gods!
"Your Majesty the Great Chen Ji."
Herman's terrifying face finally smiled, and he saluted respectfully: "Please forgive my caution, the last of the Goddess's people have been protected by you, and they are fortunate that I can finally unload this burden." β
Everyone, including Anria, thanked him.
It was the demigod Herman who led them, the polluters, to hide all over the continent for years, and finally returned here, lived for a few more years, and finally waited for hope.
Chen Ji couldn't imagine what life this group of people was like, just like the centaurs in the caves, and the people who might still be struggling to survive in various parts of the continent.
He turned his head and asked, "Astana, can you purify Herman?" I don't need him to believe in me. β
This demigod was close to complete depravity, and Chen Ji was afraid that he would not be able to hold out to the Starlight Holy City.
"God, your benevolent power can cleanse Herman of evil!"
Astana replied with a smile.
Herman saluted Chen Ji again and said, "Your Majesty Chen Ji, please forgive me for not believing in you, because I feel that the goddess has not returned to the beginning. β
"What?!"
Astana and the others were surprised.
Herman explained, "The goddess used to convert us to other gods, and I thought the goddess had returned to her original beginnings, until I returned to the Kanas church with them a few years ago and found thatβ"
He looked at the statue of the goddess.
Chen Ji looked at it.
The statue of the goddess of light stands there, with a slender and beautiful body, wearing a hat-like corona, with a dignified and holy expression, full of power, and the base is engraved with many images of worshippers praying to her.
Unfortunately, the statue of the goddess was also stained gray and white by evil, and a pair of arms were destroyed by an unknown object, and the base became pitted.
However, under the statue of the goddess, there are more than a dozen wooden houses, which should be where An Liya and others live.
The statue of the goddess seems to have no power, but Annya and her sisters live here, as if they have been sheltered, and they have lived unharmed in the city where there are many children of the evil god for several years.
"Goddess...... Hasn't the Goddess of Light returned to the beginning? β
Astana looked at the statue of the goddess and muttered that she had changed her name to the goddess of light for the first time, and she used to call herself the goddess.
Chen Ji patted her delicate shoulder.
Imori and the others glanced at each other, and there was no belief in their eyes that the goddess of light had not returned to its original beginning.
"I don't know."
Herman walked over, touched the base of the statue of the goddess, and looked up at the statue of the goddess standing tall.
Such actions have been done by countless believers before.
"Everyone says that the other gods have returned to their original beginnings, and only the god of death has dived into the darkness to shelter the last believers."
Herman's tone was confused: "But I don't believe that the goddess is the only god who sent the gods out of the kingdom of God after the evil god came. β
He looked at Astana, "Charu said that you are the last hope of the goddess, perhaps, Astana, you have the remnants of the will of the goddess." β
Chen Ji immediately thought of the evil eye on her forehead.
"Astana!"
He thought of one more thing and looked at her: "Do you know what 'Botswana, Kaorad' means?" β
"Botswana, Kaorlad?"
Most of the people did not dare to look directly at him, bowed their heads, and repeated the words of the gods.
There's something odd about this kind of conversation.
Originally, Chen Ji and them could have a direct conversation, but after saying the words, they changed.
"God." Astana frowned: "You seem to be talking about ......"
"Freedom and Poetry!"
Her good friend An Liya replied to Chen Ji in an affirmative voice, explaining: "Great god, I read in an ancient book, in the words of the gods, freedom and poetry say so. β
"The word of the gods? A symbol of the god of the sky? β
"Hmm."
Bozwana Kaorad, this sentence came from the vague voice that Chen Ji and Mu Xiaoxiao heard on the Heavenly Sacrifice Stone when they went to the vicinity of the Nine Domains Immortal Gate.
It was the words of a black shadow that stood in front of Mu Xiaoxiao from the Nine Domains 100,000 years ago.
Unfortunately, there is no way to verify.
And it's also quite outrageous, the people of the Divine Grace Continent, and maybe even the god of the sky, are actually related to the black shadow encountered by Mu Xiaoxiao who broke through the immortal gate 100,000 years ago in the Nine Domains.
I can't even think of what the connection is.
