476 The Seed of Spiri (1/2)

In the far west, a bright star appeared in the dusk sky, indicating the arrival of the night. The mountains along the valley started looking darker and darker.

When Lucien arrived at the secret cave as agreed, Ell, Francis, and Jacob had already been waiting there. Even with winding a long distance to get rid of the tailing false gods and priests, they still managed to arrive earlier than Lucien.

”Why so late, Leviathan?” Asked Jacob in low voice, who was at the same time casting spells to make sure that no one was following Lucien.

Ell and Francis also had the same question, as this cave was not far away from the city of Husum, and Leviathan had left the city much earlier than they did.

Lucien explained, well-prepared. ”I jumped into the river but got into a bit of trouble because of the tides and waves summoned by the God of Moon. It took me some time to swim away from the currents.”

”I see.” Jacob nodded, feeling more relieved when he ensured that no one had followed Lucien here.

Ell looked a bit pale but was still smiling in a good spirit. ”Although Asin's still alive, his godhood has been taken away, and the rest of the false gods are now all intimidated by my power. You all did very well, and you deserve good rewards.”

”Our great pleasure,” answered Jacob hurriedly.

At this time, Francis took out a small laurel box which revealed a slight air of divinity. The laurel box made the entire cave smell pleasant.

The box was given to Francis and Jacob by Ell, for collecting the godhood of the God of Moon. Without this box, the mundane could never see or touch the divine power, not to mention collecting it.

”Great God of Revival, Fertility, and Redemption, this is the godhood of Asin, the God of Moon,” said Francis.

To Lucien's surprise, Francis handed the box containing the God's Glory to Ell just like this.

Ell was, by contrast, more in a rush. Ell eagerly opened the box right in front of Jacob, Francis, and Lucien. As soon as the box opened, rays of cool light burst out. They felt like water when touching the skin.

Without hiding his curiosity, Lucien gazed at the glory attentively.

In the wood box, the tiny fragments that looked like the silver moon seemed quite unreal, as if they were very, very far away from Lucien. Meanwhile, there were obscure images changing in the fragments, mysterious and divine.

The moonlight fragments floated in the wood box as if they were dead, occasionally contracting and expanding slightly.

… Lucien felt this scene to be rather familiar. He searched his memories, trying to recall where he once saw them.

”Guard me, you three,” said Ell in a low voice. He was in great eagerness, as He had been waiting for this moment for too long. Before Leviathan arrived, Ell was worried that there probably would be enemies following behind, so He did not consume the fragments. But now, the moment of taking in the godhood of the God of Moon and resuming power had finally arrived!

”As your command,” said the three followers.

Both Francis and Lucien were staring at every single movement of Ell with the same enthusiastic look on their faces.

Ell's right hand was now covered in a layer of light that possessed the soothing power of both eternity and peace. With the light, Ell reached His right hand into the wood box and grabbed the floating silver moon pieces.

The tiny pieces started aggregating under Ell's power. Gradually, they formed a small silver light ball, just like a small moon.

The light ball throbbed like a beating out, giving out an aura of indifference and divinity, just like the eternal moon watching indifferently from the night sky.

Lucien's mouth opened slightly out of great shock. He finally recalled the familiar scene!

In the reflection of the Sphinx Mausoleum in the World of Souls, there was a light ball stained by rust and blood floating above the Sphinx coffin…

In the inner part of Sun's King's underground palace, there was that white light ball floating above the palm of Thanos' statue…

Memories flashed by like the frames of a movie — clear, and shocking. Although the details of each scene were different, the aura of the power felt exactly the same!

Something struck Lucien, as if he had got a grip on part of the secret of gods and ancient demons. However, soon his mind was filled with more questions — The existence of Alterna, the silver moon, could date back to the time way before all living creatures came into being, and the birth of the powers in ancient hell and abyss was also prior to that of the most creatures. Then where did they come from? Why was there a great difference between the form of existence of the ancient seven demons and the gods including the false ones?

Was he thinking in the wrong way?

Obviously, the World of Souls still hid more secrets than Lucien thought. Meanwhile, Lucien wondered whether it was Sun's Corona or the laurel box that enabled him to see the godhood of the God of Moon.

The silver-white light ball slowly merged into the light covering Ell's right hand. The light joined.

Ell's face was distorted, as if the entire process was very painful.
