Chapter 274: Let the Lord of Glory return to this world
The seaside.
Duma looked at the sailboat on the sea with extremely complicated emotions.
Because those Aiweier people came from the end of the sky on such a big ship. They were not born from the earth, nor did they appear suddenly.
They come from another world, across the sea.
These ships, as well as the squid they cultivated, and the various species they brought from the giant island of Ruhe.
can prove their origins.
She looked far into the distance, and the snake people said that there was a huge island on the other side of the sea.
Ruhe Island.
If you follow what Avian said, that is where everything originated.
There are remnants of the previous era there, and there are high-ranking gods.
"Our God is not the only one."
The moment she saw Avian's paper dragon, she knew the answer.
And in the distance, there is a more terrifying answer.
Duma opened her wings and flew forward.
Go forward.
When she saw the terrifying sea of storms.
She then understood that her God was not supreme.
Just the residual power escaping from the end of the sky can disturb the entire world, the dark storm sweeps thousands of miles away, and the terrifying influence can be transmitted to all known corners.
That is the majesty that can destroy everything, that is the will that overrides all life.
All this made Duma tremble.
"Is this the power that dominates life?"
"How could such a terrible place exist? What kind of power could create such a horrific scene?"
Her extraordinary spirituality and eyes can see everything that mortals cannot sense. She raised her head and stared into the depths of the black storm, staring at the source of black power.
She saw the roar of the devil in the dark storm, and countless tentacles extending into the sky.
even.
She heard the clarion call of destruction.
The one who blows the trumpet is a great being who can create all life and destroy all life.
Facing this dark storm, amid thunder, heavy rain, huge waves, and under the terrifying celestial phenomenon that sweeps thousands of miles away.
She felt that she was as small as an insect.
Even if.
She has stood at the top of mortals, possessing the power and status that ordinary people look up to.
She ran away in horror.
Perhaps she could cross the black stormy ocean alone with her own strength, but when faced with the terrifying vision, the power behind her completely collapsed.
She has seen the spiritual door.
But that mythical door seems insignificant again in front of this power that creates everything and destroys everything.
Such an existence can create a world and create the master of all life.
Turns out to be just one of the three gods under the throne of creation.
So what kind of existence is sitting on the throne of the God of Creation?
She flapped her wings and fled in panic, not daring to look back.
She no longer had the courage to see what was on the other side of the sea.
Everything behind the black storm, the country where everything originated.
She already believed in the existence of it all.
Duma flew all the way back to Fenbulkein Mountain. She did not hesitate to expend all her strength to whip up the strong wind and cross the sky at the fastest speed.
It wasn't until late one night that she landed in front of the Glory Temple.
Looking around at the familiar palaces, the gate towers one after another, the clear water channels and springs flowing around her, she felt her heart calm down a little bit.
"Hoo ho!"
She was breathing heavily and her mind was shaking.
She clasped her hands together and looked up at the Lord of Glory.
He kept chanting eulogies.
"The Great Spiritual Gate, Lord of Eternal Light, Lord of Dawn and Dusk."
"Please protect me."
"Please guide me to find my soul's belonging in the strong wind and darkness."
"Please forgive me, forgive me for my wavering faith, and forgive me for my fragility."
She read it over and over again, and her mood gradually calmed down.
At this moment, she truly understood what Avian said.
"God is the sun."
"Too close or too far away will lead to disaster."
The same is true for the Winged People. They achieved everything they have now because of the power of the Lord of Glory. Because of the coming of the sun, they ignited the fire of civilization from the dark wilderness.
They were born because of the creation of the Mother of Life, and emerged from the darkness because of the Lord of Light.
Without gods they would not be born, without gods they are just beasts.
But what felt even scarier was another sentence that Avian said.
"you say."
"How do gods view the faith of mortals?"
The Lord of Glory has fallen into a deep sleep long ago, and has never truly awakened.
The power that the Winged Men gained was all because Meld opened the spiritual door. Their so-called oracles and guidance were nothing more than the chaotic dream speech that Meld heard.
What her mother, Queen Melde, longed for in her life was for God to wake up from the darkness and come back to the world.
She has never seen gods, and everything mortals have about gods is only their own impressions and imaginations.
Mortals always think that God is benevolent. They imagine that God will give them everything they want, as if God is an almighty wish-making Holy Grail.
At this moment, Duma was thinking.
If the gods wake up, what will happen to everything?
They are too close to God, infinitely close to the sun in the sky.
Arrogant mortals try to touch the power of gods and use their own ignorance and delusion to guess the wishes of gods.
Is the real light waiting to come, or will it be reduced to ashes under the flames of the sun?
Duma closed her eyes. She didn't dare to think about it anymore. She forced herself to forget those crazy words that Avian said.
At this time, a person walked into the Temple of Glory, a beautiful and mature white-winged sky angel, wearing a light robe made of feather fabric.
It is Duma's mother, the Queen of the Winged Men and the Seraph Sky Angel Meld.
"Duma!"
"Have you come to pray to God too?"
Meld held up a lamp and stepped on the stone slab with his bare feet.
There was no expression on her face but there was relief in her words: "This is good, the Lord of Glory will feel your piety."
Duma turned to look at her mother. She wanted to tell her the information she had learned after going to the city-state of Ewell to investigate, but because the news was too shocking and frightening, she didn't know where to start.
She felt that the news was unacceptable to her mother.
Meld asked her directly at this time: "You went to investigate those intelligent species with tails. How did your investigation go?"
Duma said: "They are called snake people, and they come from a place called Luch Island."
"They can communicate and are highly intelligent."
"I found that they have mastered some technologies that we don't have. They have the ability to grow a plant called a cylindrical plant to obtain stable food. They can make very light paper that can replace the slate we used before."
"Their smelting technology is also more advanced than ours. I think if we learn from them, we can also obtain this technology."
But Queen Melde of the Winged People doesn't care about this. What interests her is that these snake people are really smart.
"Can ordinary beings among them communicate? They are indeed another intelligent race."
"So they can also believe in the Lord of Glory?"
Duma didn't know how to speak. She hesitated and finally said.
"but."
"They already have their own gods."
The Winged Queen Meld heard what Duma said about the God of Truth and Knowledge, as well as Avian and his paper dragon, but she didn't dare to say anything else.
Firstly, her mother would never believe it, and secondly, everything in the other world could not directly contact or interfere with them yet. She was afraid that if she said too much, it would lead to more unpredictable situations.
The giant island of Luhe is another world for the winged and snake people.
It's like the snake people call the continent under their feet the new world.
Just as Duma expected, Queen Meld of the Winged People did not believe in another god at all.
Moreover, according to Meld's belief, even if he faced another god directly, he would immediately denounce him as an evil god and immediately start a war with this evil god and his followers.
"Those are just false gods. When they see the power of the Lord of Glory, they will know who is the real god."
"But don't rush this matter now, we have more important things to do."
Meld received the "Divine Favor" not long ago.
This magical power of using a mortal body to touch the power of myth, turning the frail mortal body like dust and mud into a mythical organ, amazed Meld.
She has been studying "Divine Grace" recently and preparing for her own breakthrough.
If successful, she will have a glimmer of godly power.
She will break through the realm of mortals and become an apostle of God.
Meld shared this joy with his daughter: "Duma, my daughter."
"Because of our piety, God has given us the opportunity to become His apostles."
"I want to be an apostle of God."
Meld looked at God piously: "When the time comes."
"I can open the spiritual door and enter the kingdom of God, and truly see God."——
Temple of Glory.
After a night of prayer preparation, Melder led many sky messengers to communicate with the spiritual door.
They maintained the spiritual door and the passage to the human world, and walked out of the temple little by little in formation.
They passed through the gatehouses in front of the Glory Temple and came to the edge of the cliff.
The sky trial is about to begin.
And this time.
There were more people waiting at the foot of the mountain than last time.
Like the previous group of people, they were equally full of expectations and desires, and their faces were full of enthusiasm.
"God's light."
"Look."
"Messengers in the sky, they are opening the door to the kingdom of God for us."
"Lord of Glory, I see your kingdom."
The cruel competition of a hunting civilization is far greater than that of a farming civilization.
People who cannot hunt and reflect their values have no reason to live.
These people can no longer survive, and the trial in the sky is their only chance.
Duma also stood by Meld's side this time.
Although she didn't completely agree with her mother's approach, she knew it.
Even the Glory Temple cannot save everyone. With more and more winged people gathering at the foot of the mountain, it is difficult for the Glory Temple to feed the growing number of mouths.
The amount of food distributed did not increase, but the number of people continued to increase. This often led to winged people starving to death or dying fighting for food, and various tragedies broke out.
Sometimes she thinks about it too.
For those who are willing to participate in the trial of the sky.
die.
Perhaps it is also a kind of salvation, a way to escape from suffering.
Some of the elderly Winged People came directly to seek the opportunity to enter the Kingdom of the Lord of Glory. They longed to become the power of the gods and a part of the gods.
Meld was in the light, and his three pairs of wings emitted a fierce light.
Meld's figure continued to grow in the light, and finally turned into a sacred form that was thirty meters high. However, under the blazing white light, people at the foot of the mountain could not see the situation at the top of the mountain clearly.
Only when you fly to the highest point can you faintly see the outline of a sacred messenger with six wings.
This is the third-level form of the Sky Angel, and it is also the form of the upper-level Sky Angel.
It seems.
This time the sky trial was very important, Meld directly used all his strength.
Every move made by the huge six-winged god in its sacred form brings a huge sense of shock to the people around him.
Even the tone in which she performs divine magic gives people the majesty of delivering an oracle.
"God's Curse: Light." Meld's magic opened the spiritual door, and the intense light completely flooded the Glory Temple, extending downwards overwhelmingly.
"God's Curse: Sacrifice." Meld spoke again, and most of the people melted in the light, turning into light dust and flowing towards the spiritual door that stood in the void.
"God's Curse: Redemption." In another word, all the missing limbs, injuries and diseases of dozens or hundreds of people were repaired and healed in an instant.
And after sacrificing so many people once again, we can see that the trunk of wisdom, the branches of desire, and the leaves of knowledge on the spiritual door have been replenished and grown.
The spiritual door that was originally empty and gray became vivid and colorful.
It's just that the color is not as pure and sacred as the original white, but instead reveals disorder.
really.
The existence behind the door also became more active, but also became more chaotic.
Meld, who had transformed into the sacred form of the Seraphim, was looking up at the spiritual door. She seemed to hear the existence inside the door calling her and calling her name.
She couldn't wait, she said loudly.
"The power of the gods descends here."
"Look!"
"He is watching us."
Meld knelt on the ground, kneeling in the center of the square.
"All messengers of the sky."
"Let us welcome God's gift together!"
All the sky angels had already formed a formation, surrounding Meld in the center of the square.
This has been prepared in advance. It is a magic formation that suppresses and fuses the curse seal, spirit, and blood into one in the "Divine Grace Technique".
Today is not only the day when the Sky Trial will be held to sacrifice to the gods, but it is also the day when Meld becomes the apostle of God.
certainly.
Just relying on the magic array has no effect.
You must have all the methods in "Divine Grace" to advance to the fourth level of power.
All the sky envoys connected their minds together, and the mental power barrier gathered into a huge barrier, which was continuously compressed towards the center.
In order to stabilize their will and spirit, the angels in the sky sang hymns together and praised the Lord of Glory under the spiritual door.
The tall six-winged divine form, a group of beautiful sky angels with white wings.
There are gate towers with carved patterns, high platforms with hanging bronze bells, canals and fish ponds with spring water flowing from them.
Sacred temples, beautiful species and sacred songs are condensed together at this moment.
The huge six-winged envoy also became transparent and smaller under the sacred singing.
Eventually it returned to normal human size.
And this hasn't stopped yet.
Meld was hidden under his skin, and the sacred stone deep between his eyebrows also began to change.
The divine stone begins to fuse will, thought, spiritual power, curse seal, and divine blood, integrating everything into one.
The sacred stone emits the light of myth, and complex structures grow inside. At the same time, the radiation power of myth extends to the entire head, and then radiates to Meld's body.
Terrifying coercion emanated from her body.
All mortal beings lay directly on the ground unable to move, and even the mortals at the foot of the mountain knelt on the ground.
Since the Mother of All Snakes passed the trial and became the first Apostle more than a thousand years ago, the second Apostle level has appeared.
Although one is an apostle of the Lord of Life, the other is an apostle of the Lord of Glory.
However, like the mother of all snakes, the new fourth level is still created by the gods.
"Apostle of God." Duma looked at his mother, feeling the ever-expanding power.
This is already a power that does not belong to mortals.
This level not only has power beyond mortals, but also has a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.
For mortals, they are the spokespersons of gods in the world and the manifestation of the power of gods.
Meld stretched out her hands and opened her arms, and her body expanded again.
This time.
Her size actually increased to over eighty meters, and spread out behind her were four pairs of wings.
Eight-winged Sky Angel.
With his majestic figure floating in the air, Meld himself seemed like a god walking in the world at this moment.
The huge white wings spread out, giving an indescribable shock.
Her whole body is surging with the power of spirituality and mythology, and the divine lines between her eyebrows are surging with the power of law.
"God's curse: Spirit descends!"
The wings behind Meld spread out, forming a door of light.
Meld's feathers fell.
The white wings are constantly changing and evolving in the light.
In the end, he turned into a sky angel.
Gods with six wings were summoned one after another. They emerged from the light and walked down singing sacred songs.
It's just that these six-winged angels only have spirituality, without any wisdom or desire in their eyes. They are just weapons summoned by Meld.
This is the power of the fourth-level sky angel.
You can summon groups of third-level divine envoys to supply your driving force.
The light in the sky gradually faded, and the winged people at the foot of the mountain could also clearly see the scene at the top.
They saw a huge eight-winged angel bathed in divine light, with groups of six-winged angels surrounding her.
At this moment, the entire Fenbulkein Mountain became the Kingdom of God.
"What a sacred...what a beautiful gesture." Seeing this scene, the naked Gray Winged Man knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"God, is this your messenger?" Compared to the ugly and poor world at the bottom of the mountain, the world at the top is so beautiful.
"It's so beautiful, Lord of Glory. You are the incarnation of light, the master of morning and dusk..." The man who had just been cured of the disease through the sky test loudly praised the Lord of Glory.
Everyone was crying and howling.
Screaming.
I wish I could become a part of the sky and step into that sacred kingdom.
Meld did not indulge in her own power at all. She directly took the divine envoys she summoned and flew into the sky together, blending into the gradually converging light.
She actually broke into a country that did not belong to mortals, crossing the boundary between illusion and reality.
She came to the spiritual door.
This time, she didn't stop.
Instead, he walked in directly.
Behind the door is the spiritual world. Here you can see how spirituality operates as the hub of life and wisdom, and how wisdom is born from the body.
The body can derive spirituality, and life can derive wisdom.
at the same time.
Spirituality can also change the body, and can reverse the influence of a person's original appearance. This is the power of the Lord of Glory, the power He gives to winged people.
it's here.
The Winged Queen Meld saw the sea in ancient times, saw the rapid passage of time, saw the origin and extinction of countless species, and saw the evolution and progress of life.
She heard the whispers of the gods.
The sound was muddy and unclear, ringing in my ears, but I could only hear a few bytes in it, but I didn't know its meaning.
"Countless years."
"Countless years."
"Reincarnated again and again, I reached the limit, and I still haven't been able to find my wisdom."
"Who am I...what is my name?"
"Am I an Archeopteryx? Am I an Armored Fish?"
"I am a water dragon, I am an acanthus, and I am a lizard."
"I am……"
But then, He became confused and crazy.
"No, I am a winged man."
"Wingman."
"Wingman!"
"Wingman."
The Winged Queen Meld stood inside the door. She did not see the winged beings struggling to squeeze out their faces from the door on the spiritual door outside, wailing wildly.
She listened to the whispers of the gods as if talking in her sleep.
She looked at the ancient scene of time passing rapidly, and she had no idea what God was talking about.
Because she was shocked by the endless species and the ancient ocean.
She was shocked by the antiquity of the gods, and she felt that this was the gods showing her the secrets of the world.
Meld watched the ocean turn into land, and watched as various plants grew on the bare land. One species after another climbed onto the land to compete for dominance, and was eventually eliminated.
Meld was agitated, wondering what is power and what is god.
No matter how powerful the power is, can it compare to this kind of myth that spans endless years?
What is a god who can ignore the distance of time and reach the other end of time?
It's a god.
"This is God."
"The ancient gods."
"Countless years ago, gods came to this world."
"They sit back and watch the changes of the years, the origin and extinction of one species after another, and they ignore the passage of time and reach the end of eternity."
at last.
The Winged Queen heard the god's last roar. The sound was vicissitudes and hollow, as if it contained endless despair and terror.
Xiao has the determination and perseverance to abandon everything and go to the next era.
But he did not expect that the next era would be 200 million years.
Two hundred million years is too long.
It lasted far longer than Xiao expected and exceeded Xiao's limit.
"I want... to come back."
"I will return eventually, as... a god."
"When I come to this world again, I want to find back...everything I once had."
The voice was deafening, carrying the most persistent belief.
At the same time, everything behind the spiritual door disappeared and turned into a huge whirlpool.
Meld looked at the whirlpool, feeling like an extremely huge eye was staring at him.
She was so excited that she knelt devoutly before God.
"God!"
"I will do whatever it takes to accomplish your will."
The spiritual door suddenly closed, and Meld fell back to the human world.
Other angels in the sky have also been waiting for Meld. Meld took everyone back to the Temple of Glory and completed the final prayer ceremony.
Everyone slowly exited, except Duma.
"Mother."
“Have you entered the Kingdom of God?”
Queen Meld of the Winged People looked at the statue of the god devoutly: "I saw the god, it was...unprecedented majesty."
"Before anything was born, before the earth was empty, gods existed in this world."
"He is the true god."
Duma: "Of course, that is a majestic god."
Melder turned around, looked at Duma and said.
"Duma!"
"I want the Lord of Glory to come to this world again."
"This is God's will, and it is my will."
Hear this.
I don't know why, Duma felt a kind of creepy feeling.
"Let God come?"
A picture seemed to appear before her eyes.
She saw the sun set on the earth, and then the light flooded everything.
