The celebration of God’s birthday is not to celebrate the birth of a god, but to commemorate the day when the god comes.
Legend has it that more than ten years ago, the 'Lord of Reincarnation, the King of Souls', out of pity for the suffering in the world, sent envoys to Middle-earth to establish the Order of Worshipers, and even guided the most outstanding devout people among them to become 'Prayers', so that
They gain special abilities and can better treat people.
It was not until ten years ago that the deeds of believers on earth were finally recognized by the gods. Therefore, under the promises of the gods, Luca, the "God-near-God", was born. Because he could hear the voice of the Lord, he changed the world at that time.
The religious group of worshipers was reorganized and became the Samsara Church today. It was only then that everyone learned the true name of the Lord.
The Lord of Reincarnation, the King of Souls.
The word reincarnation did not exist in the previous Middle-earth continent, or even in the entire laboratory of the gods. After the preaching of the Church of Reincarnation, people gradually understood its meaning.
It turns out that the soul can be reincarnated continuously, but every time it is reincarnated, the memory of the previous life will be washed away and become a new, independent life.
This statement caused an uproar at the time. Since the soul can be reincarnated, is there any way to retain memories? You know, immortality is the privilege of the strong, but that is just immortality. If you can retain memories and continue to reincarnate, wouldn't it be quite
In eternal life?!
The answer given by the Church of Reincarnation is: Yes! And it is very simple. You only need to sincerely believe in our God and you can do it!
Although many powerful people do not trust this answer, and the Church of Reincarnation has not given any real evidence, the various special methods displayed by the prayers have still allowed the church to develop greatly.
Today, ten years later, in order to celebrate the first time Luca, the one near God, listened to the teachings of God, to celebrate the birth of the Church of Reincarnation, and even more to celebrate the arrival of the name of God in Middle-earth, under the organization of the Church of Reincarnation, in Middle-earth
With the support of many believers in mainland China, this grand celebration of God’s birthday was held.
On this day, when the sun has just risen, reincarnation believers who are active all over the country still get up and prepare. Poor families just keep it simple, put on the clothes that have been washed in advance, make more food, and wait quietly for God in prayer.
The Christmas celebration is coming.
Wealthier families will go to places like churches to pray specifically. In addition to bathing in the glory of God, they also study the Bible compiled by the church with fellow believers to express respect for the god.
The truly wealthy families are much more particular. Not only will they donate large sums of money and food, but they will also encourage people around them and even the common people to donate money and food.
Of course, Middle-earth does not like the idea of "repaying the money of the wealthy gentry in full, and dividing the money of the common people into 30/70!" Moreover, facing a behemoth like the Church of Reincarnation, they do not dare to do so.
While the preparations for the Church of Reincarnation's God's Birthday celebration were in full swing, secretly, the arcane masters who had arrived were also watching with cold eyes.
After such a long time, as long as the arcanists of the ancient school are familiar with each other, they have already restored communication. Most of them also know that the person behind the so-called Church of Reincarnation is Yin Tarando of the new school.
"God's Birthday Celebration? Is it simply to harvest the power of faith?"
"It seems so, but it always feels a little strange!"
"Oh? What's weird?"
"It's hard to tell. Based on past data comparisons, with the current size of the Church of Reincarnation, it should take at least five years for Yintarando to become a god. However, the Church of Reincarnation seems to be very eager recently."
"It's not surprising. Activities like this can undoubtedly accumulate a lot of faith in a short period of time. I'm also going to do it in the church I'm forming."
"Yes, maybe in Yintarando's eyes, we are all enemies, which is why he has a sense of urgency. If this continues, he might become the first one of us to ascend to the gods."
"That's not the case. Senior Lalu's management in the Eastern Continent is better than that of Silver Tarando. Recently, he got that...Buddha's golden body. It seems that he can directly absorb all the Buddhist believers in the entire Eastern Continent.
With the power of faith, I am afraid that it will only take a year or two to become a god."
"What, that's great. As expected of Senior Lalu, I'm afraid this time will break the record for the shortest time to become a god in the Gods Laboratory."
"No, no, it is said that the shortest record of becoming a god in the Laboratory of the Gods is ten years!"
"What, only ten years?! How is this possible? After entering this world, everything starts from scratch. We need to establish a powerful church to develop, and solve the problem of channels for the spread of faith. Moreover, we only need to accumulate the faith required to ascend to God.
Strength takes a long time, how can ten years be enough?!"
"Who knows?! There are speculations that that person's talent is somewhat special, and he has received huge bonuses in this world, so he has such terrifying results."
"Hey, is this a real genius? It is said that the ten seats in our ancient school's academy are geniuses, but who knows how huge the gap between seats is, and even the chiefs of each school cannot be qualified in every generation.
Become a Grand Arcanist!"
"I don't expect too much. I just wait for the Lab of the Gods to successfully get the basic rewards this time. The ultimate goal like that, although tempting, is not something I can hope for."
"Hey!~"
…………
While the Lalu faction was discussing Lando, the idle faction like Helena were doing the same thing.
"Helena, aren't you the closest to Yintarando? You should know something about him, right? How far is he progressing, and how long will it take for him to become a god? Please tell me more! I'm not feeling low right now!"
"Oh? Does Mr. Darwin Lindsay, the sixth seat of the famous Protection School, known as the Iron Mountain Wall, also feel unsure?!"
"Everywhere, the juniors and juniors are looking up to me, but I'm still far behind!"
"How could it be possible? Aren't you able to take over the chief three strikes of your school and be considered by him as 'in terms of protection alone, you are enough to rank in the top three of the school'?!"
"Um..., can you not mention that Aaron Joyce, that reckless man, the leader of the dignified ancient defense school, actually believes that the strongest defense is offense, and he also has a second-rate name like 'Fist of the Sky'?
It’s really a disgrace to our school!”
"Haha! Do you dare to say this again in front of him?"
"..."
"Okay, no kidding, this Silver Tarando is a difficult character."
"Oh? Tell me."
"..."
"Okay, okay, I owe you a favor, okay?"
"He came to me once, and his performance at that time was, how should I put it... very special. It felt to me like he was playing a game that he was sure to win, without any scruples!"
"oh?!"
"The most important thing is that the Elf Heart gave me a frantic warning at that time, telling me to run away quickly, but at that time I had already activated the arcane position that I had deployed at great cost. I was already in the strongest state since I came to this world, and I could not run away at all.
No way to run."
"Damn (Plant), so powerful? Then doesn't he... wait, you even brought the heart of the elf here?! Sure enough, you are also interested in the ultimate goal of the Laboratory of the Gods!"
"Of course, but it's useless. Let's not talk about the monster Lalu. Lando alone makes me feel powerless. In this case, the hope of competing for the ultimate goal is too slim."
"...Maybe, but it's still not zero! I hope to have the opportunity to try that Silver Tarando and see if his fist is stronger or my body is stronger!"
"...?!"
…………
As many arcane masters watched through various means, the Church of Reincarnation's God's Birthday celebration came as scheduled.
Church City, in the central square.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in the large central square, all waiting for the arrival of the birth of God.
As time goes by, more and more church leaders appear on the high platform of the central square of the Nativity.
As a series of heavy, powerful, and extremely rhythmic footsteps sounded, Raphael appeared in the outer passage, accompanied by the collective salute of the Temple Knights.
"Bang!~"
The unanimous sound of the gauntlet hitting the left chest was heard, and the crowd suddenly burst into loud cheers.
"Look, it's the leader of the Temple Knights."
"It's Sir Raphael!"
"Coming, coming, the right hand of God, the blade of judgment!"
In public, Raphael's expression is surprisingly serious. He is the right hand of God, the blade of judgment, which represents the killing and power of God. The amiable image does not suit him.
As he came to his seat and stood still, everyone began to gradually become excited, and this atmosphere reached its climax when a figure appeared out of thin air and stood in the center of the high platform.
"Look, it's His Majesty the Pope!"
"Ah! Lord Pope!"
"Your Majesty the Pope!"
Luka raised his head slightly and glanced at the sky, then stretched out a hand, and the noisy crowd instantly became quiet.
"Ten years ago, I met my God. He couldn't bear the suffering in the world and sent messengers to save all living beings."
"How can I pray to God for salvation?"
"God said, only the soul is free."
"How can my soul be free when I pray to the gods?"
"God says, those who respect me can enter reincarnation; those who believe in me can enjoy eternal life; those who love me, I love them too!"
"I made a covenant with God to let the world respect Him, believe in Him, and love Him, so that He can protect us until eternity!"
"God said, Good!"
"My soul began to pray, begging for the light of God to illuminate the way forward for us, until the end of this world and the new life in the next life!"
After saying this, everyone present began to close their eyes and pray.
"My soul began to pray, begging for the light of God to illuminate the way forward for us, until the end of this world and the new life in the next life!"
"……(repeat)"
As the prayer progressed, traces of milky white light visible to the naked eye began to condense and rise. They were like huge smoke pillars, exuding sacred meaning, and disappeared into the void.
Pope Luca watched all this silently, and his eyes looked into the distance. There were more than a dozen places like this in the entire Middle-earth continent. Although the power of faith emanating was not as pure and solid as the one here in Church City,
But it also shocked those outside who saw this vision.
Unknowingly, the believers of the Church of Reincarnation became more pious.
"My God, this should be what you need!" Luka smiled and said to himself.
As a near-god, Luca is undoubtedly the one closest to Lando among all spiritual seeds. He has always been able to feel various messages from Lando, including some of the emotions or thoughts revealed by the latter.
Luca will modify the action plan of the Church of Reincarnation based on these 'oracles'.
Not long ago, he suddenly sensed that Lando fell into a deeper sleep. Of course he could sense that this was a good thing. The only pity was that he didn't know how long Lando would be asleep, and he couldn't collect anything during the sleep.
He came to Lando's 'Oracle', but because he could feel Lando's presence all the time, he didn't worry too much.
After that, Luca began to think about how to help Lando, who was in a deep sleep. When he noticed that the latter's need for the power of faith was increasing, the appearance of this God's Birthday celebration became a matter of course.
As the power of faith, far exceeding ten times and a hundred times as usual, sank into the void and was absorbed by the layer of protection outside Lando's soul, he was gradually awakened from his deep slumber.
His thoughts swept away, and everything that had happened recently came into his mind in an instant. A smile appeared on the corner of Lando's mouth. This Luca was indeed very capable, and it was not in vain that he had the authority to open up many spiritual worlds for the other party.
After ten years of accumulation, the power of faith was collected unexpectedly quickly. Not long ago, Lando sensed that the soul protection he called the 'divine weapon' suddenly entered the transformation stage. He didn't have time to think too much and immediately entered the depths.
Meditate and observe the various changes in the 'divine weapons' with all your strength.
And this is also the reason why his demand for the power of faith has suddenly increased. According to Lando's original prediction, it will take half a year to a year for the 'divine weapon' to completely complete its transformation and reach the point where it can become a god.
He did not expect Luca to be so keen. After sensing his needs, he decisively held this divine birthday celebration, which caused the power of faith to increase dramatically in a short period of time and helped the 'divine armed forces' complete their transformation in one fell swoop.
Lando looked at the 'divine weapons' outside the soul. At this time, it was completely different from the first time he saw it.
When Lando first entered this world, all he saw was a thin film, which looked very fragile, and even made him feel like it could be torn into pieces.
Gradually, as time goes by, countless threads of faith are connected, and the surging power of faith gradually fills and fills this thin film, making it look like it is no longer a thin layer, but a thick layer.
It was a three-dimensional texture. It was at this time that Lando began to notice that the 'divine weapon' felt similar to the soul weapon created by his body's system, and thus made a guess.
And now, with the complete transformation of the 'Divine Arms', it truly has the feeling of being armed, like a pair of golden full-body armor that does not leak any gaps, completely wrapping Lando's soul, making it
He felt relaxed, at ease and comfortable like never before!
PS: Normal updates will resume. The next chapter will be released after 12 o'clock.
I will launch a voting activity in the QQ group: 597034818, about the college Lando will go to in the future and the subsequent plot, giving everyone the space to choose. The voting will be until the end of this month, and I will decide the plot by then.
