Chapter 285 Part2 (2/2)
The last page of the opening chapter of the first volume of the canon is called “The Goddess bestows upon the temple eternal radiance”
According to the legend, on the eve of the founding of the eht, also known as Mayuba the first Pope of the Teuidance in his sleep Supposedly in his drea day at noon, he is to head west of the imperial capital in order to accept the miracle of the Goddess atop of a hillside
Therefore, his Majesty bathed and fastened until that moment Without any attendant, he trekked barefooted up the mountain Even if sharp stones made the arduous journey painful and bloody, he did not falter, for his Majesty's pious heart gave hith to overcome all the pains in his heart!
And just like the dreaed directly above the head, the Goddess'severything upon this world, and for a thousand s
In the end, nu down froan to panic, but once one of the meteorites landed inside the imperial capital, exactly at the location where the current headquarter of the Teht resides, thedown to the ground without causing an iathered around to investigate, they discovered there were nu the surface The content of those texts were as follow…
The Goddess has come to bestow upon the Temple her 'Divine skills'!
With these so called 'divine skills' froht will hence forth be able to protect the honor and authority of the faith
Prior to that, the religion of light e in numbers, but everyone was but a commoner, this included the leaders of the various schools However, after this event, the first ever divinest appeared and was able to contend with the icians of the land
This ht to show off their power in this world, that they are ereatly relieved the followers of the religion of light
The reasoning was because there hasn't been aa time, well over hundreds of years To the followers, this was a great eions of the opposing faith: alith the saying that they've been abandoned by the Goddess
The descent of this itiest crisis, faith! Frorew even louder
Of course, the first people to scoff at this so called ic Union!
The Magic Union had never recognized those whatever 'divine skills, to the the power of the Gods were through the research of ic
And the divine abilities of the Teic spells stolen by those frauds After so, it was used to beautify themselves
As for this icians had a simpler explanation: it was all fabricated by the Temple
Within the ic union, their members believed they are in fact thethe the into the mysterious power of the Gods!
(This was a time back when people could still worshi+p other Gods)
If the Gods wanted to bestow a ious fraudsters, it should be on the ic class of society
“I have read the scriptures, and I of course know about the story of that so called miracle” Du Wei suys? Objectively speaking, it was precisely because of this miracle that you were able to establish your unshakable status within the Temple and become the first Pope of the new order You were the first to be contacted by the Goddess, so you were regarded as her voice in the mortal world! If not for that, I doubt the leaders of the various schools would idly stand by while you take the throne”
“You’re right on the second point Indeed, because of this incident that I was endoith a cloak of divinity, and when I took the throne, none opposed ! That miracle isn't fabricated… It's real!” QQ's tone turned stern and dignified: ”The Goddess of light really did an to believe in the existence of Gods”
Du Wei's expression turned strange, quietly waiting for QQ to give him the next half
“That day, I dreamed and saw the will of the Goddess in ht it wasunder my pillow, a rock In my sleep, the Goddess told me to take the stone up to themiracle So, I then understood this was no dream, its real!”
Listening to this, Du Wei suddenly e smile: “I say, this Goddess isn't very capable is she… Hu within the Temple, yet she decides to bestow her miracle upon you… How foolish”
“You’re wrong again, Du Wei” QQ sighed: “The Goddess of light is not so kind You really think she would choose me to be her spokesperson in the , utterly wrong… That Goddess would never choose anyone! In the Gods 'view', us hunificant Would you look dohenever you step on a bug? Would you think the act is evil or good? The same applies to the Gods; we humans are no different from ants in their eyes!”
“Then… That miracle…”
QQ tone's changed: “Don't you find it strange when looking at this part of the scriptures? If those God stones directly descended into the Temple's base, then… Why would I be called upon to the top of the reet what? I'm certain this part hadn't been recorded in the canon now is it?”
Indeed!
His words i, he asked: ”That's right, why did you come back empty-handed from that hill?”
QQ did not directly answer the question, instead, he leisurely countered with a question: “Du Wei, if you are a herds cattle to serve as your ement?”
”Of course not” Du Wei shook his head
“They will not trust us humans” QQ exhaled: “Like the herds for the job So…… the reasoning for the Goddess in sending ! The Gods do not trust us humans, they will only look down at us In order to maintain the faith in this world, the Goddess would never choose a human as her ambassador! Instead, she will bestow her own!”
Speaking up to here, QQ’s eyes turned somewhat erratic:
“That day, I came up to the top of the mountain to receive the Goddess's el”
Du Wei's eye lit up…
An angel?!
