The next day, Lu Heng and Ionas visited Cecilia again. Cecilia said frankly that her half of her godhead has already collapsed, and the power of the god of death has been slowly recovering, so she has been calling those white elves frequently recently.
"The night elves have been affected by the power of death, and there have been no new elves born for many years. I..." Cecilia was silent for a long time.
Lu Heng knew that the elves could be said to be the children of the goddess of life, and she was full of guilt for the price the night elves paid to seal the god of death.
"When the power of death began to escape, I told all the elves about it, so the elves who ran away didn't do anything wrong. It's just that things have turned around now. The seal is maintained for a period of time, and the elves, including the creatures on the entire continent, can escape from the threat of the undead army." Cecilia said.
It's just that the power of life has gradually fallen behind in the game with the power of death. Cecilia's half godhead and these few night elves may not be able to support that moment. Therefore, in desperation, Cecilia chose to ask for help from her runaway children, the white elves.
"I heard that the white elves built Moonlight City on the other side of the Court Mountains, and the number is much larger than that of the night elves. As long as a part of the white elves are willing to come back, the power of death that falls on each elves will be much weaker. Seal If it can be maintained, it will not cause too much harm to the elves." Cecilia said that as the mother tree of the elves, she actually did not want to hurt her children.
However, the white elf who returned to the forest of spirits in response to Cecilia's call was only Cambelle so far.
"Why don't you tell the truth about the white elves. The white elves who ran away have died. What the white elves know now are distorted facts." Lu Heng asked.
Cecilia sighed softly: "The connection between those white elves and the ancient tree of life has been broken. All I can do is to let them feel the call of the mother tree when their sleeping consciousness is relaxed at night."
"If you add some divine power, can you descend in Moonlight City? As far as I know, there are still many white elves who believe in the goddess of life." Lu Heng had an idea in his heart.
"Yes, but my godhead is now incomplete, and I am trying to suppress the power of death with all my strength. If you want a god to descend, you need a lot of divine power. You are just a new god, and you should not be able to provide such a huge divine power for the time being. But... " Cecilia's voice sounded a little hesitant.
"I can help your divine body mature quickly." Ionas said suddenly, but his tone sounded a little eagerly excited.
Lu Heng didn't think too much for a while, and agreed immediately: "Then let's start as soon as possible."
"..." Cecilia was silent for a while, "Ionas can help you with the matter of the godhead. The maturity of the godhead requires the power of faith. This is not difficult. The followers of the Pope of Light are all over the continent. You only need to complete the transition of the gods and inherit Esmond's position."
After saying goodbye to Cecilia, Lu Heng paid the price for his hasty. Ionas brought Lu Heng back to Dragon Island in the name of helping Lu Heng to mature quickly. It took a few months for Lu Heng to completely understand Cecilia's silence and hesitating to speak at that time. The way for the giant dragons to transform their partner's physique is to continuously communicate in depth.
Holy See. Annual Bright Day. This is the most important day of the Pope of Light, and countless devout believers from all over the world have gathered to make a pilgrimage to the Holy See of Light. The festival begins when the sky will turn white. In the center of the circular square, stands the largest statue of the God of Light on the continent, with half-closed eyes, looking at the pilgrims who came to pilgrimage below with compassion.
Princess Windsor, disguised as the Pope, is wearing a long ornate papal gown, a papal hat with gold patterns on a white background, and a gold hollowed-out scepter in her hand. Along the road in the center of the square, under the guard of seven cardinals, all the way to the statue. Princess Windsor led the cardinal in front of the statue and began to sing a hymn of tens of thousands of syllables.
Suddenly, a warm golden light broke through the clouds, enveloped the statue, and quickly spread to the entire circular square. Every believer felt endless warmth and peace of mind.
God descended.
The golden light that spread slowly gathered, and finally gathered in front of the statue to form a golden figure that was as high as the statue. It's just that the man looked completely different from the statue. He was wearing a white robe without any decoration, and his long light golden hair was simply tied behind him. Compared with the noble and awe-inspiring temperament of the statue of light, this figure is more healing. His green eyes are full of gentle healing, as if bathed in such eyes, no matter how much suffering is instantly healed.
"Esmond, the god of light, has returned to light. I am the god of succession, Joseph." A gentle voice resounded in the hearts of everyone present.
The stunned believers realized that the deity in front of them turned out to be His Majesty the Pope of the Holy See, Joseph Bergorio VI. Who is the pope in front of the statue? Soon, the newly appointed God of Light answered their doubts.
The light dissipated, and the Pope standing in front of the statue had changed back to her original appearance.
"Windsor, I chose the successor when I became a god. Now I have become a godhead. From today, Windsor is the new Emperor of the Light Religion."
Alternation of gods, although rare, has not never happened. After all, light is eternal, but God may fall. And the Pope's successor appointed by the God of Light will not have any objection. The position of the Pope of Windsor is more stable than that of any Pope.
At the same time, all the statues in the Temple of Light have changed and become the appearance of the new God of Light. All the priests who stayed in the local shrine also received the oracle of the alternation of the gods of light.
After the departure of the new God of Light, the festival of the Day of Light, destined to go down in history, continued under the auspices of the new Pope. The devout believers were even more frenzied in their hearts, and all fell to the ground in thanks for the grace of God.
The last ray of light in the sky was also gathered by the dark night. The new Pope of Windsor, but still kneels in prayer in the Holy See Temple. She was waiting for the god she believed in to come.
"Windsor." Lu Heng called warmly to the girl in front of the statue.
"Holy Father, no, my lord." Windsor, who was kneeling and praying in front of the statue, saluted, and then stood up under Lu Heng's signal, "Have you left here to go to the realm of the gods?"
"No. I chose to take over the position of god because some things must be achieved through this position." Lu Heng said.
Windsor didn't understand.
"Windsor, that's the question, what is the meaning of light?"
Seeing Windsor's slightly confused eyes, Lu Heng continued: "I originally wanted to guide you to discover slowly, but now it's too late. Leading all beings and embarking on the path of freedom is the true meaning of light. "
"free?"
"Yes, not only a free body, but also a free heart. Windsor, the world no longer needs God."
After finishing speaking, Lu Heng lightly tapped Windsor's forehead. All the prophecies of God, the gate of death, and the collapse of the God Realm entered Windsor's mind.
"You, are you leaving?" Windsor, who knew everything, was like a huge wave in his heart, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Seeing her panicked look, Lu Heng smiled softly and reassured: "I do have to leave one day, but not now. Before you can stand alone, I will accompany you to grow up."
On the mainland, it has been quite uneasy recently. Starting from the return of the goblin family to the ground, major events occurred one after another. The goddess of life, who has not appeared for a long time, also descended on Moonlight City. The rest of the races on the continent did not know what happened that day, only that Moonlight City had become an empty city, and almost all the white elves had returned to the Forest of Elves.
Nearly twenty years have flown by. During this time, Lu Heng was actually very comfortable. He and Ionas lived in seclusion on Dragon Island. Apart from instructing Windsor's growth from time to time, and caring about the work progress of the goblins of Maple Leaf Academy, there was nothing else to do.
On this day, Lu Heng was lying on Ionas's lap, basking in the sun, and by the way, he felt the power of faith gathered on the ground towards the godhead. His divine power is almost reaching the limit that this continent can carry. But Lu Heng was not in a hurry, because he knew that the time was almost up. On the side of the life girl, there has been news that the power of life and death will be unbalanced again.
[No. 666, although I don’t want to interrupt you to spread dog food, the time for Pope Joseph’s death is approaching.]The little assistant has learned a lot of fashionable terms since he started hanging out on the forum.
[Everything is just fine.] Lu Heng came to the spirit, the progress of this timeline is under his control.
Lu Heng stood up and stretched out his hand to Ionas: "Ao, the promised departure is coming, let's go."
Yes, Lu Heng had already told Ionas about leaving a long time ago, when they had the same heart. At that time, the golden dragon just hugged Lu Heng tightly and said, "Where are you, where am I going."
Ionas grabbed Lu Heng's hand and stood up.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Heng was still looking forward to his departure this time. Because of the energy and body structure of the giant dragon clan, he really couldn't bear it.
Years passed. Lu Heng came to the Forest of Spirits again, and this place is no longer the depression that was left out of the crowd. After the return of the white elves, the elves' clan land expanded several times. Perhaps the number of elves sharing the power of death has increased, and Lu Heng even saw new born elves among the night elves.
Lu Heng also saw a few familiar friends, Edie in a wizard's robe and the elf mage named Clarice. Clarice, who returned to the mother tree, also had the appearance of a night elf, with slightly dark skin, but the calm and gentle expression on his face was more dazzling than the proud look on his face as a white elf.
Lu Heng and Ionas did not show up, but directly entered the middle of the ancient tree of life and met Cecilia.
"You are here." Cecilia's voice was still gentle, but at this moment it was filled with a rare sense of excitement.
"Well, let's start as we discussed before."
The goddess of life appeared in front of the elves again, her expression was calm and beautiful: "Children, I want to return to nature. The sickle of the god of death will no longer hang over your heads."
"Mother tree." The elves all choked up. Although this was something they already knew, when the day when the goddess of life was about to leave, the hearts of all elves were still full of sadness and reluctance.
The same thing happened in the human territory of the mainland. The new God of Light descended on the continent here after his divine descent twenty years ago, and passed down an oracle.
"The god of death has awakened, the opening of the gate of death cannot be stopped, and the army of the undead is about to make a comeback. As long as there is the god of death, the power of the dead will be continuously replenished. The god of light, the goddess of life and the dragon demigods will enter The realm of the dead, completely kill the god of death. Since then, there will be no gods in this world. However, even if the god of death falls, the opening of the door of death can only be slowed down. The power of holy light and the power of nature I will protect the life of the mainland for a while, until the army of the undead is expelled again."
The Pope of Windsor, who has been able to take charge of himself, did not show weakness even when he learned that Lu Heng was about to leave. Windsor looked determined, for she had grasped the true meaning of light. The next road, even if she is walking alone, she is not afraid.
Another familiar little space. Without Lu Heng's instructions, the little assistant directly opened the scene of the undead army invading the mainland.
Everything was as Lu Heng had expected, with the participation of elves using the power of nature and priests of the power of holy light, the undead army had been suppressed outside the Carter Mountains in the early stage of the offensive. And when the force of life was gradually suppressed by the force of death, the goblins appeared with their army of mechanical puppets.
The participation of the mechanical puppet army instantly turned the situation around, because the undead army could not get the power of death supplemented by these soulless puppets.
Victory is set.
After the undead army was expelled. The power of holy light, the power of nature, and even the power of arcane magic on the continent are slowly fading away. The Pope of Windsor, the Pope of Light, single-handedly opened a new era. Her elder brother, Emperor Surrey, still unified the mainland, but under the influence of Windsor, he did not establish a dictatorial empire, but integrated the mainland into a democratic republic with a federal parliamentary system. The Pope of Windsor became a spiritual leader. She led all life on the continent to come out of the confused period of losing gods.
Finally, Windsor's title left in the history books is, the reformer Windsor.
