Chapter 83 - His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (epilogue) (2/2)
“No. I chose to succeed to the throne because there are some things that can only be achieved through this position.” Lu Heng said.
Windsor didn’t understand.
“Windsor, regarding that question, what is the meaning of light?”
Seeing Windsor’s slightly confused eyes, Lu Heng continued: “I wanted to guide you to find out slowly, but now it’s too late. Leading all living beings and embarking on the road of freedom is the true meaning of light. ”
“Freedom?”
“Yes, not only freedom of the body, but also freedom of the heart. Windsor, the world no longer needs a God. ”
After that, Lu Heng gently touched Windsor’s forehead, and all the prophecies of Gods, the gate of death, and the collapse of the divine world poured into Windsor’s mind.
“You, are you leaving?” Windsor, who knew everything, felt a huge wave in her heart, and could not calm down.
Lu Heng saw that she was a little panicked, smiled softly and comforted: “I really intend to leave one day, but not right away. Before you can stand on your own, I will accompany you in your growth. ”
Recent days in the mainland were filled with turmoil. Starting from the return of goblin clan to the ground, momentous events happened one after another. The alternation of the throne of light took place and the new God appeared under the light of the sun. The long-standing goddess of life also descended on Moonlight city. The rest of the continent did not know what happened that day only that moonlight city had become an empty city, and almost all the white elves had returned to the Elven forest.
The next twenty years passed by in a flash. This time, Lu Heng was actually very comfortable. He and Ionas lived in seclusion on Dragon Island. Apart from instructing Windsor to grow up from time to time and caring about the progress of the goblins in Maple Leaf College, they had nothing else to do.
On this day, Lu Heng was basking in the sun by lying on Ionas’ thigh, and felt the power of faith converging from the ground into his godhead. His power was reaching the limit that this continent could bear. But Lu Heng was not in a hurry, because he knew that (his) time was coming. In the outside world, there has been the news that the balance between the powers of life and death will be broken. 2
{666 here. I don’t want to interrupt you spreading dog food, but the time of Pope Joseph’s death is close. } Little assistant had learnt a lot of fashionable expressions since he started to wander in the forum. 3
{Everything is fine.} Lu Heng replied spiritedly. The progress of this timeline was completely under his control.
Lu Heng stood up and held out his hand to Ionas: “Io, our agreed time of departure has come. Let’s go.”
Yes, long ago, when their minds were connected, Lu Heng and Ionas had discussed about leaving. At that time, the Golden Dragon just held Lu Heng tightly and said, “I’ll follow you wherever you go.”
Ionas took Lu Heng’s hand and stood up.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Heng was faintly looking forward to his departure. Because of the vigor and physique of the dragon race, he really couldn’t bear it anymore.
Years passed. Lu Heng once again arrived at the Elven’s forest, which didn’t seem desolate as before. Following the return of the white elves, the native land of the elves expanded several times. Perhaps because the number of elves sharing the power of death had increased, Lu Heng even saw new elves among the night elves. 4
Lu Heng also saw several old friends- Edie in his wizard’s robe and the elf mage Clarice. Clarice, who had returned to the mother tree, also became a night elf with a dark skin. However, his calm and gentle expression was more dazzling than that of the erstwhile haughty white elf.
Lu Heng and Ionas did not meet them, but went directly into the center of the ancient tree of life and saw Cecilia.
“Here you are.” Cecilia’s voice was still tender, but now it had a little bit of joy.
“Well, as we discussed before, let’s start.”
The goddess of life reappeared in front of the elves, her expression was tranquil and graceful: “children, I am returning to nature. The scythe of the God of death will no longer hang over your heads. ”
“Mother tree.” The voices of every elf were choked (with tears). Although they had known this for a long time, when the goddess of life was actually about to leave, the hearts of all the Elves were still full of sadness and reluctance.
The same thing happened in the human territory of the mainland. Twenty years ago, the new God of light came down on the mainland and handed down the oracle.
“The God of death has awakened. The opening of the portal of death cannot be stopped. The army of the dead is about to return. As long as there is the God of death, the power of the dead will be continuously supplemented. The God of light, the goddess of life and the dragon demigod will enter the realm of the dead and kill the God of death completely. From then on, the world will no longer have any gods. However, even if the God of death falls, the opening of the portal of death will only slow down. The power of light and the power of nature will protect the mainland for a period of time until the undead army invades again. ”
The Pope Windsor, who could now handle all affairs independently, did not falter even when she learnt that Lu Heng was going to leave. Windsor looked determined, for she had understood the true meaning of light. The next road, even if she had to tread alone, she was not afraid.
In the familiar little space. Without Lu Heng’s command, the assistant directly opened the scene of the great army of the dead invading the mainland.
As Lu Heng expected, there were elves who used the power of nature and priests who used the power of light. In the early stage of the attack, the undead army was suppressed outside the Cote mountains. And when the force of life was gradually starting to be suppressed by the force of death, the goblin race appeared with their mechanical puppet army.
The participation of the mechanical puppet army reversed the situation in an instant, because the undead army could not get the supplement of the power of death from these soulless puppets.
Victory was cinched.
After the undead army was expelled, the powers of light, nature and arcane art on the mainland slowly started to disappear. Pope Windsor of the Papacy of light brought forth a new era. Her brother, Emperor Surrey, still unified the mainland, but under the influence of Windsor, he did not establish an autocratic Empire, but integrated the mainland into a federal parliamentary democratic republic. Pope Windsor became the spiritual leader, who led all life on the continent out of the tumultuous period of losing the gods.
In the end, the history books gave her the title “Reformer” Windsor.
