Chapter 199 God must like such a celebration, right?
Chen Ji sat in a room high up in the Sun Tower of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. From the window, he watched people flocking to the top square of Xinghui Holy City to participate in the celebration and worship the Creator.
Miranda and several elves served him.
Astana was not affected by the abnormality on her forehead before. She responded to the believers with the divine power of the goddess of starlight, giving them peace of mind and faith.
Chen Ji couldn't understand the specific content of the ceremony. He could only see starlight emanating from Astana's scepter, forming a scene in the sky where stars circled the Sun and Moon Towers.
Meredith, who is the goddess of harvest and joy, also used her magical skills. With the ears of rice and wheat that Chen Ji had gifted her, she tapped the World Tree, causing the two Starlight World Trees to produce magical fruits, and the fragrance Distributed together with the magic power, attracting everyone's amazement.
"it's over?"
Chen Ji saw the crowd disperse, and guessed that Astana's work as a goddess was almost over.
"God!" The Elf Miranda replied respectfully: "The ceremony of the celebration is over, and then there is the part of the celebration banquet, which is usually a bonfire party, wine tasting, dance, poetry singing, etc. The hilarity lasts until It's late at night."
Chen Ji nodded, and saw a group of uniform knights, wearing armor, holding spears and swords, or riding horses, or trotting into the square, standing neatly in a certain formation.
Judging from the various armors on the knights and their races, these teams come from various human empires and from various races in the Divine Grace Continent.
All the races and countries of the survivors, who could gather a combat team, sent people to the square.
Not only knights, but also magicians with staffs, thieves in leather armor, rangers with bows and arrows, etc.
They stood there quietly, raised their heads slightly to look at the Tower of the Sun, and the chill and tense atmosphere permeated, completely different from the previous lively atmosphere.
The surrounding crowd was also quiet.
The gorgeously dressed ladies stopped whispering and waited anxiously.
Chen Ji was also waiting, watching these warriors who had experienced many battles and survived from the beginning of the evil gods to the present.
Each of them has experienced the baptism of blood and fire, faced the endless army of evil treants, and seen a huge deformed brood that swallowed an entire city and fused millions of people, and even saw gods The kingdom of God fell from the sky, and the earth cracked the horror scene.
They lived to this day.
Still has an indomitable will to fight, even in the face of evil gods, fear is born in the soul, but still clenches the weapon in his hand.
They are the ones who will fight to the end in the Divine Grace Continent!
“God is watching us.”
Astana's voice was soft, she turned her head with a smile, and looked at the Lord she believed in.
Chen Ji smiled, but did not speak.
When he was at the foot of the mountain before, he didn't say much, not deliberately maintaining the majesty of God, but because he was afraid that what he said as the Creator would cause unpredictable consequences.
"God gave us the land to live in, gave us warm sunshine, purified the evil everywhere, and brought us the long-lost harvest celebration."
“God is here and watching over us.”
Astana continued to narrate, using poetry, or beautiful language like prayers, to tell everyone: "Today, we are bathed in sunshine and immersed in the joy of harvest. re-exist!"
People were chanting words of praise to God in low voices.
"Under the power of God's eternal sun, we seem to have returned to the good old days."
"But please don't forget the oath we made before God."
"Don't forget our former hometown."
"Loman, Eve Capet, Saint Vano, Osat, Elven Forest, Mellon King City... Our former homeland is where our relatives are buried. Their bodies after death are controlled by the brood, and they are wandering at the moment. Purpose walks among the ruins."
Astana's voice full of emotion read out the familiar and unfamiliar names of the people, awakening their long-term memories, making them cry and singing a requiem in a low voice.
"Please do not be sad, people of God."
Astana said softly: "God is watching us, we also believe in God devoutly, we have obtained the gift of God, use the power of God to destroy evil, take back our homeland, and build Raise the temple, and let the light of the gods illuminate the entire Divine Grace Continent!"
"Let the brilliance of God illuminate the Continent of God's Grace!"
Everyone shouted loudly together, looking up at the Tower of the Sun, their expressions were full of excitement and fanaticism.
Astana continued to talk, and people's emotions became more and more enthusiastic.
Chen Ji gradually understood that Astana was mobilizing before the war. During the celebration, she reminded them not to indulge in the joy of the moment, but to always remember that the mainland is still occupied by evil gods, and they must hold their weapons tightly and attack bravely. Do not indulge in momentary peace.
She should have discussed with the emperors of several great empires and the kings of various races beforehand. During the celebration, she set up seven expeditionary armies, with seven elves as commanders. Monsters, bring back more supplies, etc.
The seven elves are commanders in name only, and the empires and churches are actually responsible for commanding. Astana can fully control only tens of thousands of temple knights.
However, the Tens of Pantheon Knights are already very strong.
Chen Ji saw Tess, the queen of dragons, Deloli the magic rainbow dragon, Beamon, the **** of thieves, druids and many other strong men, all belonged to the Knights of the Temple, and other holy ranks and demigods who did not belong The strong ones also all joined the Knights of the Temple.
The Knights of the Temple, the Priest Group, and the Seven Expeditionary Army became the last force of the survivors in the Holy City of Stars to counterattack.
Of course, the goddess of starlight order, the goddess of harvest and joy, and the six elves who directly believe in Chen Ji and get close to the Creator are the ultimate and strongest backing.
…
"Now, enjoy today's harvest and celebration!"
Astana smiled brightly, "God is watching us, our future is full of hope, praise the great God!"
"Praise the great God!"
People of all races in the Divine Grace Continent cheered again.
The tense atmosphere in the holy city dissipated. People dispersed from the square and returned to places they were familiar with. Some stayed in the city, some left the city and returned to the small village by the farmland. Many elves went to the forest, and the goblins burrowed Going underground, they prepared for tonight's celebration in various ways.
"God~"
Astana, who finished the ceremony, turned around and picked up the white skirt of the goddess, and stepped up to him, with a blush on her beautiful face, "God, is Astana doing well?"
She squatted in front of Chen Ji naturally, with her hands gently embracing his knees, looking up at Chen Ji with her fair face.
Astana's white goddess dress is very beautiful, holy and elegant, and her smooth platinum long hair is scattered behind her graceful back, making her look more like a dazzling and beautiful goddess.
Chen Ji involuntarily looked down from her pretty face, to her slender neck, her straight collarbone, and then saw her graceful figure in the white goddess dress.
Astana, who just showed the majesty of the goddess in front of the believers and accepted the worship and admiration of the believers, knelt down on one knee in a blink of an eye, bowing her body and looking up at him docilely.
"god…"
Aware of God's love for her, Astana's eyes softened, with a touch of shame.
Among the seven beautiful elves around, Meredith was the first to blush, and the other elves more or less reacted.
"…You did very well!"
Chen Ji hurriedly said that Meredith was a little disappointed.
Astana bit her lip, and boldly took Chen Ji's hand, "God, please come with me... You all follow too."
"Where to?"
Chen Ji was dragged away by her, followed by the seven elves.
First, she stood on the magic circle and returned to the temple, and then went to the Moon Garden from the teleportation circle of the temple. Just after returning, Astana hugged Chen Ji, leaned in his arms, and murmured:
"God, no one can bother you here. This is Astana's domain and our paradise. You, you can... whatever you want."
She stuttered and couldn't continue.
Seven beautiful elves also followed. They had already understood Astana's words, and bowed their heads shyly together.
In the beautifully built Moon Garden, there are tents and wide benches everywhere. Chen Ji can indeed rest and release his mood and other things at will.
"Astana..."
Chen Ji is furious, who can calm down at this moment?
but.
He still didn't take any action, but just hugged the divine-born saint who expressed his affectionate confession to him.
Chen Ji put his arms around Astana's soft waist, and brought the seven elves to the seat of God. He and Astana sat on it, and the seven elves obediently sat on the seven chairs in front of them.
"Astana sat beside God?"
From the forest of elves, the soft-spoken Parame noticed this scene. Astana was sitting next to the god, and she was not embarrassed, she sat down naturally and next to him.
Pamela was thoughtful.
The gods they believe in and serve all their lives are indeed different from other gods, not only more powerful.
"God, what do you want us to do?" Astana asked proactively, "Or, what do you want to ask us?"
"It's nothing."
Chen Ji calmed down.
The seven elves are very well-behaved, they give and take whatever they want, and they are treated like an emperor, which made Chen Ji refresh his understanding of Shenen Continent.
In the past, he simply knew that his status as the Creator was very high, but until now, he can let Astana, who is a goddess, and the seven elves do anything at will, and the entire Moon Garden is his playground.
Having the right to do anything to them, Chen Ji finally understood the identity of the Creator and what it means to the people in Shenen Continent.
Not only salvation, but also a condescending look down.
"Astana, are you a descendant of a god? A descendant of the goddess of light?"
Chen Ji has calmed down.
Being condescending does not bring him much sense of accomplishment. If possible, he would rather communicate with Astana and the elves in a way that relaxes his mind.
Plainly speaking, I want both body and mind.
"Um."
A smile bloomed on Astana's beautiful face. After being rejected, she did not lose her mind, and replied softly to her god: "I grew up in the Church of Light, and Pope Shalu and other priests and bishops were in charge of teaching and respecting me, saying I am the last descendant of the goddess on the mainland."
"Who is the mother? Or the father?"
Chen Ji's question seems very strange. If the goddess of light is going to give birth to a child, will Astana's mother kiss her fingers? Could it be that the goddess of light gave birth to her daughter Astana herself?
"I have no idea."
The Goddess Saintess with platinum long hair shook her head obediently beside Chen Ji, and added with some embarrassment: "God, in our place, the Goddess can also fall directly from the Kingdom of God to the mainland. The power of the gods was directly born... but there are very few such descendants of the gods, and most of the descendants of the gods are brought back by the servants of the gods after they went to the kingdom of God."
"God attendant?"
"Well, those who serve the gods."
Through Astana's explanation, Chen Ji knew what a divine attendant is.
In layman's terms, it is the emperor's concubine.
But concubines of gods are usually gods, while servants of gods are just ordinary believers.
They were chosen by the gods and sent to serve the gods in the kingdom of gods. If they were specially favored by the gods, they would be able to give birth to the descendants of gods.
How much power the ancient emperor had, how capricious the way the gods chose their servants.
For example, he can issue an oracle to let beautiful women such as Queen Ellen of Eve Capet, Queen Estelle of the Elven Kingdom, Tess the dragon, and Deloris, regardless of whether they are married or not, regardless of whether they are married or not. Whether you want to belong or not, you can be called as a servant of the gods.
Of course, they have the right to refuse.
It’s just that this is equivalent to abandoning the faith, and you can only leave the church and believe in other gods.
It is said that there are many women whose beauty shocked several gods, and they were vying for it by the gods, which also triggered a war of gods.
The more Chen Ji listened to it, the more he felt that the God of Shenen Continent was like an emperor, looking down on the mortals of Shenen Continent.
But mortals still believe in them devoutly and dedicate everything to the gods.
"The goddess has returned to the beginning."
Astana said softly, with sadness in her eyes.
Chen Ji held her hand. Every time he mentioned the goddess of light, Astana always referred to her as a goddess, which was different from other gods.
"I heard from Xia Lu." Astana said embarrassedly: "The goddess once sent an oracle, saying that I am the last hope of this continent. If I survive, there is still a glimmer of hope. If I die, This continent will be completely occupied by the evil gods and reduced to a dark and disordered area until the first and next awakening."
"Pope Shalu said you are the last hope?"
Chen Ji was a little surprised. Astana was the last descendant of God, but she was also someone who could have a connection with him.
What exactly is it?
"Um."
Astana whispered: "But I don't believe it. Perhaps Shalu just... regarded me as a goddess. When the goddess returned to the beginning, he almost... lost hope of living."
Chen Ji was silent.
The seven elves also lowered their heads and looked at each other.
"The first time you wake up next time?" Chen Ji asked again.
"This is an ancient legend."
Astana smiled and said: "It is said that after every deep sleep, he would wake up and take a look at the world. If he saw the gods doing anything wrong, he would send disasters and make the gods lose their power."
"Send disaster? Has it ever happened before?"
Chen Ji remembered that when he was holding Astana, he had vaguely sensed something existed in this world.
He suspected that it was the God of Death who still existed in the first place.
"Never had."
Astana shook her head, "Such a disaster cannot be resisted by God or us. If it came down first, the goddess would know."
Chen Ji remembered something: "Before you said that the evil **** came because of a poem?"
Astana couldn't answer because the goddess had fallen.
Chen Ji stopped asking questions, glanced at the elves, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's time for the celebration."
All the elves blushed and were at a loss.
"Uh, I mean, Harvest Celebration!"
"whee."
Astana smiled shyly, stood up and said, "God, wait a moment, the elves and I will change clothes."
"Change clothes?"
Chen Ji's question was not answered by them, Astana led the elves blushing, and walked lightly into the remaining temple where the sculpture was placed.
By the time they came out, they had all changed into clothes similar to those in the sculpture.
Chen Ji understood.
No wonder there are clothes in the remaining temple. It turns out that Astana and the elves used themselves as models to carve those artworks.
But the statue is a work of art, which can only be admired and not used.
After Astana and the others became what they were in the statue, not only did Chen Ji admire them enough, but they also had many uses.
"…god."
Meredith shyly picked up the fruit on the table that had just been presented to God's Grace Continent, summoned up the courage to kneel at his feet, and said softly and affectionately: "Meredith will always be your believer , willing to give you everything."
Chen Ji couldn't take his eyes off his body like a harvest fruit.
"God, Alice is the same~~"
"Hee hee, so are we!"
Astana sat beside Chen Ji, smiling as she watched the beautiful elves dedicate their faith enthusiastically and boldly.
God must like such a celebration, right?
