- . In Sein City, the hastily built natural temples have a brand-new smell everywhere. In some places, even the smell of painting has not dissipated. This is very inconsistent with a religion that has lasted for nearly ten thousand years.
However, the priest of the Nature Temple has no choice.
At this moment, in the main hall of the new natural temple, a large group of priests, old and young, with devout faces, were lying on the ground, chanting words and singing hymns, while the officiating priest stood in front of everyone, methodically following the code of law. According to the description, various rituals were performed.
On the main hall¡¯s altar, in the seat that symbolizes the supreme sanctity, Nana¡¯s petite body sits on it with a solemn expression.
She has become very accustomed to this tedious ritual. No matter how upset she is, she doesn't show any emotion on her face.
This is an oracle ceremony. Many priests in the natural temple are praying to their gods, asking him to give oracles to guide everyone in the way forward.
In fact, there is no need for any ceremony at all. After Riester's death, he settled in this plane.
His eyes were on Nana all the time, so no matter what everyone in the palace did or said, he could see and hear them all.
But as a god, he still needs to maintain a certain degree of mystery, majesty, and distance in front of his believers.
Although Nana didn¡¯t like this complicated ceremony, she still cooperated with Riester very well and maintained her solemn attitude until the end as the ceremony progressed. Riester also began to gradually exude divine power.
At the end of the ceremony. His divine power has enveloped the entire hall, and everyone lowered their heads in awe under this omnipresent and powerful pressure.
The new Grand Elder, who was highly respected but also very old, was prostrate on the ground, his lean and hunched body like a candle swaying in the wind. It will go out at any time.
This great elder is the only surviving elder priest in the natural temple.
Since the natural temple outside Lister City was burned down by fire, he was injured and unconscious, but he relied on an amulet with a natural mark to avoid the disaster of being burned by the flames and finally survived. However, that blow severely damaged his body and mind, and he was so weak that he could barely walk.
After many times of cooperation, Nana and Lister became more and more skilled in their cooperation. When Riester arrives, Nana will completely give up control of her body and become a bystander.
But I saw the great elder working so hard. Nana finally couldn't help but take back control of her body. He said crisply: Great Elder, you can stand up now. Waiter, take good care of the great elder.
Although the voice is crisp, the tone is extremely majestic, and the tone is unquestionable. After so many visits, Nana has long since learned how to imitate Riester's tone.
At this moment, Nana¡¯s words are equivalent to an oracle. A waiter hurried forward and helped the elder up.
With the help of the waiter, the great elder stood up fearfully and tremblingly. He said without daring to raise his head: In front of you, the supreme being, all living beings are equal, and a humble servant dare not be a head higher than others.
After saying that, the great elder knelt down tremblingly again.
The waiter next to him was at a loss and wanted to help but dared not. Take a peek at Nana's position on the high platform. He only saw a pair of small feet, and he didn't dare to look at them anymore. He simply knelt down himself.
In the sea of ??thoughts, Nana's soul became sulky and she didn't say anything. She just means well, but the elder is stubborn, and if she continues to mess with her, her good intentions will turn into bad things.
Oh, the supreme Lord God! Your eyes penetrate the mists of time, and your wisdom illuminates the boundless darkness. Today, your devout servants ask you to give us an oracle to guide us in the way forward. Although the Great Elder was weak, his voice was not small, as if he was squeezing out his last energy and shouting with his life.
Our allies are the immortal souls from the kingdom of death. They have helped us in our most difficult times. They resisted the invasion of the pagans, helped us find the Saint, and helped us rebuild the natural temple so that we can bathe in your glory again, but
The Great Elder paused for a moment before continuing: They are the deceased. Although they are helping us, they cannot conceal their evil nature. We don¡¯t know what they long for, maybe it¡¯s the land we live on, or our pure souls?
Your devout followers are afraid. They are terrified. Will these dead people covet their flesh and blood? Will these dead people covet their souls? O supreme Lord God, please send your oracle to guide us confused servants!
After the great elder finished speaking, he stood down to the end.
Suddenly, the hall fell into a deathly silence, and everyone did not even dare to take a breath, waiting for the response of the God of Nature.
Because every word they hear next may determine the future of the alliance and the Temple of Nature.
The supreme power of the God of Nature still envelopes the entire hall. The ethereal and mysterious God seems to cast his gaze that penetrates time. Everyone can clearly feel that Youdao's probing gaze looks straight into their hearts.
After a long time, Nana's clear but majestic voice sounded in the hall: Life is natural, death is natural, life is the beginning of life, death is not the end of life Death is the beginning of another journey of life, in my eyes , both belong to nature, and those who have passed away are not evil.
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.
The oracle immediately set the tone at the beginning, defining those who have passed away as non-evil. Since the creation of the Nature Temple, there has never been such a clear oracle.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
Although the Alliance is a theocratic country, their attitude towards religion is actually much more tolerant than the Empire, and they not only allow the existence of dark mages. Skeletons and undead as summoned creatures are also allowed to exist. But those are, after all, creatures without autonomy and controlled by humans.
But for undead creatures with autonomous abilities like the deceased, they have the same concept as the Imperial people. They have desecrated the body of the dead. Isn't such a creature evil?
Everyone will die, so they are afraid of death. Likewise, there is the fear of the desecration of the body after death. People are afraid that after death, their bodies will be desecrated, and their souls will not be able to return to the embrace of God and will perish forever.
But now the oracle says that those who have passed away are not evil.
This conflicted with their long-held concepts and was unacceptable to everyone for a while.
However, Riester didn¡¯t care whether others could accept it or not, his voice continued to sound: The path to the dead is in the hands of the goddess of the moon. For the sake of ambition, the gods of light unite with the evil abyss world. Trying to bring about natural disasters. To deal with a common enemy. The goddess of the dark moon sends the dead to work hard to crush the ambitions of the abyss demons. They need trust.
The oracle was unprecedentedly clear and clear, but it caused an uproar in everyone's hearts.
The gods of light actually unite with the abyss world? Will there be another natural disaster? And the undead creatures were actually sent by the goddess of the dark moon to help them?
Compared with undead creatures, abyss demons are synonymous with true evil. These abyssal monsters are cruel and bloodthirsty, and thrive on destruction. According to legend, the appearance of the Abyss Demon is bound to be accompanied by a bloody storm.
Compared with these evil creatures, the undead creatures that only desecrate the corpses of the dead look much cuter.
If the elder priest of the natural temple is not here, this oracle will definitely be questioned. One even wonders if the saint is controlled by the undead.
After all, this time the oracle was too clear and clear, even the title of Goddess of the Dark Moon appeared.
In the past, even if the title of Goddess of the Dark Moon appeared in classics, she would be given a title such as the controller of the black moon in the endless darkness.
and. This time the oracle stated it more clearly. The deceased need trust.
If you study the code more deeply, you will easily understand it. Trust represents faith, that is to say, the god of nature is encouraging his followers to devote their faith to the goddess of the moon.
Any religion has a certain degree of exclusivity. Although the Temple of Nature is not as extreme as the Church of Light, it also clearly stipulates that the God of Nature is the only god of the alliance. People with other beliefs will be regarded as heretics. Any occupation that does not involve conflicts of faith will be allowed to exist in the alliance.
The most important problem is that Lister¡¯s oracle is in huge conflict with the oracles that have been sent before. However, most of these secrets are in the hands of the elder priests.
At present, in the main hall, there is only one elder-level priest left, the Grand Elder. The rest are all newly promoted from the branch dioceses, and they have no right to question in this regard.
However, the great elder who was lying on the ground still did not make any move after listening to the oracle. When everyone turned their attention to him, they discovered that the great elder had lost his breath of life at some point.
The oracle is the command of God. When someone who lacks sufficient authority questions it, no matter how doubtful others are, they can only convey the oracle truthfully.
In front of God and His spokesperson, birth, old age, illness and death are purely natural, and human nature and emotions are insignificant. A large group of people couldn't even express their sadness, and they retreated one after another while supporting the great elder's body.
After a long while, Nana suddenly looked at the empty spaceThe hall was full of people, and they screamed angrily: "Kill him!" Why?
She is Lister¡¯s spokesperson, and whatever Lister needs to do must also go through her hands, so she clearly sensed that the Great Elder died in Lister¡¯s hands.
The great elder, who was in his old age and suffered physical and mental trauma, would die with only a small amount of disturbance, and this little amount of disturbance happened to come from Riester's hand, making it easier to hide it from everyone.
People who see this scene will definitely feel very sad that a spokesperson dares to question her God. However, Lister had to answer: his existence would cause variables in this oracle. He is just an old man, does he need to be like this? Nana was very angry and asked angrily and loudly. As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help hugging her knees, sitting on the chair, and sobbing quietly.
As Nana grows older, her mind has gradually matured, but her kind nature has not changed at all.
Svengel, Irene and other people who loved her protected her very well. Although the Black Dragon Mercenary Group caused a bloody storm on the mainland, this was the first time Nana saw someone die in front of her.
The great elder is dead, just like mom and dad, they will never wake up again.
The family tragedy in her childhood has made her understand the meaning of death, which means that people she once knew will never have the chance to meet again.
Feeling Nana¡¯s sadness, Lister fell silent.
After a long, long time, a vague sigh sounded in the hall: I have no chance to choose.
Nana not only has the heritage of Lister, but also the heritage of Kris.
But in fact, with her physique, she is more suitable to be Chrissy¡¯s spokesperson, but Chrissy still has the option of Lacy, but Lister has no choice.
Therefore, after reaching a series of agreements, she allowed Nana to accept Riester's inheritance.
As the inheritor of two gods, Chris¡¯ eyes have always been on Nana. Seeing everything that happened, Chris couldn¡¯t tell what it felt like to feel sympathy, pity, helplessness or even empathy.
If it weren¡¯t for Nana, Riester would not have compromised to this extent. Nana is now his only channel to contact the believers. If he orders to go against the Black Dragon, he will inevitably lose this channel, and the forest where it originated will be destroyed between the backlash of the Black Dragon and its powerful men.
¡°In that case, the God of Nature will completely withdraw from the stage of history, and there will be no chance for him to stand up.
Does Riester still have a chance to choose?
He didn't.
And similarly, Chris had no choice.
Their fate has been closely linked to the Black Dragon. If the Black Dragon collapses, Lister will undoubtedly die, and Kris will lose this last chance to escape the seal.
When a god loses even the chance to choose, they have actually reached a dead end. What awaits them may be the end, or it may be an opportunity. - Didn't finish reading?
