Chapter Vol. 3 Ch. 169
Facing the entrance of the Sky Temple’s spire base, the goddess with green hair and green eyes stood side by side with the priestess. The deity already held in her hand a seed as green and lush as an emerald.
As mentioned before, this is no ordinary blessing seed. Even Miss Goddess of Life herself spent a whole week nurturing it, which can be fully regarded as the embryonic form of Sethlin.
This somewhat déjà vu-inducing behavior was jokingly referred to as “giving birth” more than once by a certain priest.
The upper echelons of the Azure Sky Kingdom, including the Feathered Emperor Estini and the High Priestess Estila, as well as the Four Wings who rushed back urgently last night to witness this moment, and the four original temple guardians, along with the likes of Leila, Rene, Edwina, Theresa, and other close associates of Miss Priestess, were all nervously waiting nearby.
Even Felina came to the scene because Violet asked her to witness this moment for the Queen Majesty in the distant Courage City.
Indeed, these core members already knew the identity of Sethlin, the newly appointed Goddess of Life.
“Violet, are you ready?”
“Of course, I’m ready anytime~”
“Well then, let’s begin.”
Ignoring the incomprehensible words that popped out of the dark-haired girl’s mouth, the goddess with green hair and eyes closed her eyes, spread her hands, and countless slender strands of hair floated slightly in the air. The bluish-green seed also floated under the glow, smoothly penetrating the ground despite being covered by tiles.
“In the name of life, sprout!”
Countless verdant rays blossomed from the hands of the goddess, swirling and winding as they injected into the earth. And so, five seconds passed, then ten...
“Rumble rumble rumble rumble...”
The ground beneath their feet began to shake. Not only the Sky City but the entire floating island trembled slightly under the will of the gods, as if some colossal creature were brewing beneath the surface, about to burst forth!
“Violet, it’s now!”
“Alright~”
With a casual gesture, the dark-haired girl spun something and hurled it into the ground where the shaking was most intense. The earth seemed to come alive, suddenly cracking open and enclosing whatever she had thrown.
They hadn’t told many people about suppressing the seal, they only mentioned that the divine tree was used to block the passage to the Abyss and to bestow blessings and protection upon the city.
But Violet’s participation made this possible.
Her soul power was stronger than Sethlin’s, and light and life had achieved a smooth fusion, becoming the best catalyst and nutrient for the latter, just as the priestess always did.
However.
Because she was involved in the process of sealing the channels, Violet’s perception also extended outward along the spreading ripples, probing into another mysterious and unknown world through the continuously healing channels.
She heard cries and wails.
There were those who prayed, not just one, two, but countless voices, their cries mournful and desperate, filled with endless despair after being abandoned.
Although she couldn’t understand those languages, the prayers turned into clear thoughts, entering the mind of the priestess.
They said.
“Oh god! Why have you left us? Why have you abandoned us! For a thousand years, we’ve waited for you, prepared for you, passing down our legacy for generations, only to finally save you. Why are you so heartless now!!!”
They said.
“Goddess! Divine of earth and hope! Your humble followers offer prayers here. I am willing to offer everything, just hoping for you to turn your gaze to this world and save this world on the brink of destruction...”
They said.
“Why, why is it like this? Didn’t the divine promise that as long as we help you break free from the malicious prison, you will bestow blessings upon us and let us return to our homeland? Why then do the divine punishments come one after another? Aibus, Aibus, where is your future...”
They said.
“I know, I know! I’ve said from the very beginning that restarting the Doomsday Bombardment harms both heaven and earth, and it’s something the gods won’t tolerate! The divine has deceived us. The land where the apocalypse descends is not some desolate airspace! Otherwise, why would divine punishments come down!?”
Countless beliefs, countless prayers, and cries assaulted the girl’s mind, plunging her into confusion and bewilderment.
What were these...?
The residents of the Abyss wailing? Why? Weren’t they supposed to be invaders?
What... was going on here?
