The Temple of the Sky was finally built amidst stumbling steps. Including the time spent previously, it took a total of more than ten years to complete.
This temple of God, which consumed most of the power of the Xiinsai Kingdom and the heart and soul of Jeser, just like his name, seems to stand in the sky.
This is an unimaginably great wonder, and only the gods and their servants are worthy of living in such a palace.
Jesel raised his head and looked through the sea of clouds to see a corner of the temple in the sky.
“It’s finally built.”
With a feeling of anxiety, he crossed the road that was like heavenly steps.
Colossal statues hundreds of meters high are carved on the mountain arms on both sides. Two kings kneeling on one knee, welcoming the arrival of the gods.
This road can only be walked by the king and god of Hinsa.
Others who want to go up the mountain can only walk up the side path.
At this moment, Jessel was walking up this road, excitement and anxiety surged in his chest at the same time, and he even felt a little out of breath.
He looked longingly at the sky temple high up in the sky and murmured in his mouth.
“O God!”
“Did you see it? This is my gift to you.”
“Like my father Ledlicky, I believe in you so devoutly.”
He stepped onto the temple and stood expectantly in the center of the magnificent hall.
There is nothing in the temple except for the exquisite statues of gods erected there.
In the first year, the king went to the temple in the sky to listen to the oracle, but the god never came.
The next year, Jessel knelt under the idol.
"god!"
“If you hear my prayer, please give me revelation!”
“Jesel listens to your will and accepts your guidance and arrangements for my destiny.”
The king went to the Sky Temple again to listen to the oracle, but the god did not come.
The tenth year.
The sun in the sky rises and sets from the east to the other side, and the stars appear in the darkness.
In the darkness, Jessel, who was getting older, was kneeling alone in the main hall.
“God has not come!”
Jesel looked up at the statue in the sky temple in despair and helplessness. It was different from the statue carved by his father. The statue was mysterious and warm, just like the light of the stars.
This statue of the god carved by his own hands is majestic and majestic.
“Did I really do something wrong?”
“O God!”
“If I am wrong, please give me an instruction or punish me.”
He knelt under the statue of the god, his voice choked with sobs.
"Please do not……"
“Please don’t...abandon us.”
Schroeder, the chief priest of the Sky Temple, suddenly walked out at this time and came behind Jessel.
He humbly hunched over and knelt behind Jessel.
"king!"
“God has not abandoned us, He is always there.”
Jesel turned around and said, “Have you heard God’s revelation again?”
Schroeder looked at the statue with great enthusiasm.
“God has given me divine magic. This is God’s revelation.”
“God is unwilling to come because of the sinners, those sinners who were punished by God into the abyss of devil but escaped without permission.”
“They fled from the abyss and disturbed the realm of the gods.”
"The only way is to eradicate them and drive them back to the devil's abyss."
“Only then will God visit us again.”
After being the chief priest for so many years, controlling this temple in the sky and the majestic city, he has become a powerful figure in the Kingdom of Xiinsai, under one person and above ten thousand people.
His temperament became mysterious and ethereal, and his speech became condescending and captivating.
Time and time again, he showed himself to be a person who received divine revelation, saying that he was a priest chosen by God.
What he could not accept the most was naturally the statement that Hinsa’s people had been abandoned by God.
If the people of Hinsa were abandoned by God.
Who is he, the chief priest of the temple in the sky? Who is he, the divinely inspired man?
he.
can not stand.
----------------
The guards who came from the City of God’s Descendants brought news from the distant sea.
"king!"
“The sinners killed the lord of Silon, and most of the people of Silon were slaughtered.”
"Wait until...wait until..." The guard was extremely sad. It seemed that some of the dead people were people he knew.
"When the priests arrived, all the sinners fled."
"king!"
“Too many of us have died!”
The sinners raged in the sea like wild beasts, plundering the fishing grounds of the Sanye people and attacking the cities of the Sanye people.
Fusion monsters have also killed countless criminals in these years, and their enemies have become more and more common.
Moreover, those criminals became more and more cunning and ferocious, massacring the people of the Xiinsai Kingdom in a vindictive manner, which resulted in today's situation.
There are only seven fusion monsters in total after all, and most of them are scattered in the cities on the coast, making it difficult to deeply control the criminals.
The people of the Kingdom of Hinsai became increasingly afraid to go deep into the open sea. They fled back to the offshore or boarded mainland cities one by one. They gradually lost control of the open sea.
Keep going like this.
In the future, the ocean may no longer belong to the Kingdom of Hinsai, but to these sinful people.
The minister on the side said: "That is the sea area close to the land given by God. If it is occupied by the sinners punished by God..."
He did not say it out loud, but Jesser knew that this would be a huge blow to his prestige.
At this time, the chief priest Schroeder jumped out again to express his views.
"king!"
“It was these sinners who disturbed the gods and made them unwilling to come to the city in the sky.”
“If we can drive out these sinners in God’s sight, God will surely see it.”
Jesel turned to look at Schroeder. He wanted to say something else, but after observing some details, he suddenly asked.
“Schroeder.”
“Why don’t you grow old?”
Schroeder said in his demagogic and mysterious tone: "King!"
“Because the magic given by the gods is the power of the Cup of the Sun.”
The cup of the sun on his shoulder swayed, and the golden light and shadow projected on his body, looking mysterious and sacred.
He didn't know it originally, but he only recently discovered the secret.
After merging with the Cup of the Sun, he himself became a life between plants and animals.
The Cup of the Sun has extended his lifespan. He estimates that his lifespan is more than half that of an ordinary three-leaf man.
He has long been interested in demonstrating his magical skills to the King of Wisdom, thereby gaining greater power and recognition.
He encouraged Jessel again: "King!"
“This is divine magic—the power of the Cup of God.”
“The Cup of the Sun is not only the power that God gives us to perfect our wisdom and power, but also gives us the sublimation of life. Only by thoroughly integrating into the Cup of God can we obtain the power of the true divine gift.”
"This is a miracle of God's gift, and it also means that his glory has never left us."
Jesel's body is getting older and he is no longer as healthy as he used to be, and he can easily cross the sea and fight.
Jesel was originally a little disgusted with the power gained by inserting a foreign species into his body, but now he was a little moved.
“Really?”
Schroeder showed him his own power, the symbiotic power of the Cup of the Sun, and the realm of divine magic.
“Drink the cup of the sun and you will gain divine power.”
“Merge yourself into the Cup of the Sun, and you may be with God.”
He performed illusions, and the palace turned into the ocean, and the stone slabs turned into water.
Schroeder walked forward through the water and knelt in front of Jessel.
“King, look.”
“This is the power God has given us!”
“Like the gift of power, it is a magical power derived from God.”
“You are the king of Hinsai, and the power of God’s gift belongs to you.”
