Chapter 324

It can be said that the deeds of many gods are all the same, repeated a thousand times over.

The first time you read about these deeds, you might find them quite fascinating, thinking there's something to them.

Even some greenhorn youths would read them and get their blood boiling with excitement.

They'd be itching to become warriors under a god's banner, waging war in all directions for the god, founding kingdoms!

But once you've read too many, you'll discover that, in fact, what these gods do is pretty much all the same.

Nothing new, and it won't bring about any great changes.

It's all about fighting for faith, fighting for faith.

This is also the eternal theme of the Gods' Continent.

Reading too many of these stories also makes them wearisome.

Only the Lord of Flames made her feel something different.

The Lord of Flames, being a god, likewise has an intense pursuit of faith—this can be seen from the flame symbols found everywhere in the City of Divine Relics.

In the eyes of the Eldest Princess, these flame symbols are a way of constant psychological suggestion, making believers more devout in their faith toward the Lord of Flames.

Many gods employ these little tricks.

Of course, most of these little tricks aren't played by the gods themselves—gods wouldn't deign to do such things—but rather by their devout followers on their own.

Still, it does reflect the Lord of Flames' need for faith.

But then again, the various subtle details throughout the City of Divine Relics gave the Eldest Princess an entirely different feeling.

It made her think—

The Lord of Flames is a unique, great god, even one possessing a subversive power!

Yes, a god with subversive power.

In fact, the very first to come to such a realization was an enemy of the Flame Kingdom.

The old Earl of the Slo family!

Hmm, this perhaps proves that old saying: the one who understands you best is still your enemy.

However, an enemy is an enemy.

Enemies should be destroyed!

So now, in the Eldest Princess's heart, there is also curiosity about the Lord of Flames, and shock at everything she has seen and heard!

She can already control her emotions quite well, but those shocks still came wave after wave, striking the Eldest Princess's soul again and again.

Princess Luoying, hearing her words, nodded and said: "Aunt, yes, having faith is sometimes a good thing, because becoming a god is too hard. Aunt, in this world we're the only two family members left. Once I become the Holy Maiden of the Lord of Flames, I hope…"

"Luoying, no need to persuade me further. This is the first time I've received a god's grace, and I'm not an ungrateful person. You're right—becoming a god is too hard. Having faith actually gives one something to rely on. I too will have faith in the Lord of Flames. You rest now. After I rest for a while, I'll go take a stroll through the City of Divine Relics and see just how many more marvelous places the Lord of Flames' divine city has."

With that, the Eldest Princess left. Though she was still somewhat weary, she truly did intend to rest for a while before going to see the City of Divine Relics.

She was serious.

Meanwhile, in the temple, the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling had already notified Meng Ying and all the Holy Maidens to come to a meeting.

This time, all of Lin Yan's Holy Maidens in the City of Divine Relics were gathered.

The fox-woman Sister Qing Ling, the maiden Meng Ying, the dwarf queen Aiwei, the cat-race Princess Luoti, the centaur maiden Bai Ling, and the winged-human maiden Mia.

Only the night-elf queen Princess Chenxi could not come because she lived too far away.

In fact, Princess Chenxi didn't even know any of them yet. The night-elf clan is still in the process of migrating, though they are now nearly approaching their original forest.

As for the Succubus Natasha in the abyss, she cannot yet be counted as Lin Yan's Holy Maiden. What she signed with Lin Yan is a master-servant contract—the kind where if the master dies, the servant must also die. In terms of firmness, this contract is no weaker than a Holy Maiden contract by much.

Once everyone was assembled, the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling told everyone what Princess Luoying had related.

After she finished speaking, several hours had passed.

The news brought by Princess Luoying had thoroughly confirmed the fact that the Divine War had been lost.

Only, Meng Ying and the others had not expected that the god of the Spirit Kingdom would actually descend a fragment of his consciousness to possess someone, and even pull off a Holy Spirit Descent.

"If that's the case, the Spirit Kingdom should soon make a move against the Horton Kingdom. The Spirit Kingdom's god is quite a ruthless character—even after losing the Divine War, he still dares to have his kingdom take the offensive. But fighting so desperately like this will definitely have a better effect than passively taking a beating."

Meng Ying said.
