Chapter 547
The sound of the Doraemon hymn is loud and clear, like the breeze on the high mountains of Macragge, and like the laughter of children.
The Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's hymn is solemn and solemn, like the monarch statue overlooking the marble streets of Macragge, and like the moving speech of the Primarch.
Greylina shuttled through the corridors carved with the past experiences of Saint Doraemon and the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang, her heart beating uncontrollably.
This is a church belonging to the Sisters of Battle. When the Pilgrim's Voyage arrived at Terra, they received hospitality and scrutiny from the Sisters of Battle.
The sisters praised their courage and piety in pilgrimage, welcomed them with twenty-two songs, and used twenty-two questions to judge their loyalty. Finally, their loyalty was confirmed in the incense of exorcism, and they were allowed to step onto Mount Ximalaya, the outer palace area of the Imperial Palace.
This is the most magnificent building Greylina has ever seen in her life. Rather than a single building, it is more like a hive city formed by the overlapping of administrative spires, government departments, parchment warehouses, and various churches.
It is magnificent, but it is inevitable to feel a bit messy.
Greylina is a little disappointed with Terra's appearance in her heart... it feels not as good as Macragge.
Led by the elderly Sister of Battle named Magda, Greylina and other pilgrims came to a quiet little church.
In the church stood a statue of Saint Doraemon holding his round hands high, and beside the statue of Saint Doraemon were carved several smaller statues.
These smaller statues were divided into two groups.
Archmagos Belisarius Doraemon Cawl, the Purest Leina, and Saint Joan are the smaller group. They are mortals chosen by Saint Doraemon.
After that are five slightly larger statues: the Holy Voice Gian, the Sea Hua Hua Hua Di Huang Nobita Nobi, the Archangel Sanguinius, the Regent Guilliman, and a figure in a hooded ink-green power armor.
Greylina's gaze stopped on that hooded figure. On the way to Terra for pilgrimage, their ship was once saved by this existence.
It is said that this is a Living Saint awakened by Saint Doraemon before He fell asleep. He is Doraemon's blade, the hunter in the dark forest, and the Protector of the Imperium.
This existence is taciturn, walking in the galaxy with a group of equally silent Space Marines. When villains rage, daemons appear, and traitors abuse the Imperium, this silent existence will walk out of a forest floating with mist with the Astartes, punishing all evil things, protecting weak mortals, and disappearing quietly after completing everything.
Greylina has been on the pilgrimage ship for decades and is not sure if this is really Doraemon's Living Saint. Now seeing this statue standing beside Sanguinius and Guilliman, Greylina is truly convinced that this is indeed Saint Doraemon's Living Saint.
Greylina also noticed that he seemed to be standing side by side with the statues of Sanguinius and Guilliman, as if they were an indestructible trio... Could it be that this Living Saint is also one of the Primarchs who died and was resurrected by Saint Doraemon?
Could it be...
Greylina had a vague guess in her heart. That should be the Primarch Lion El'Jonson.
The reason for this guess is that when Greylina was still a Macragge noble, there was an ancestral antique carving in the family's secret room.
The carving showed Sanguinius, Guilliman, and Lion sitting side by side on three thrones.
Although history does not record it, Greylina judged based on that ancestral carving that the relationship between the three Primarchs must have been very good in the past.
It was just that after the Despoiler's minions invaded, the family territory was broken, and Greylina was saved by Sanguinius, the carving was inexplicably lost.
Later, Greylina also returned to the family's old place to look for it, but eventually found nothing... Maybe it had already been destroyed by the traitors.
The Sisters of Battle brought food to Greylina and the pilgrims.
Sweet fruit juice decomposed from leaves, a dorayaki, rice, and roasted locusts.
These are all very common foods in the galaxy now.
The leaf-decomposed fruit juice and dorayaki go without saying; this is the holy meal of Saint Doraemon.
And rice and roasted locusts, on the pilgrimage journey, have been seen in many docking planets.
It is said that this is one of the blessings left by Saint Doraemon to humanity before He fell asleep. It is a miracle item called the Holiday Agriculture Set, which was brought to various planets by the Indomitus Crusade fleet.
Every reclaimed planet can obtain a large number of Holiday Agriculture Sets. No matter how harsh the environment, this item can grow rice and locusts, feeding countless populations.
Greylina tasted this rice, which tasted about the same as what she had eaten on other planets.
However, Greylina once heard a rumor that the rice on Terra was grown by the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Custodes, so it should just be a rumor...
Today, she still followed Saint Doraemon's teachings, did not waste a single grain of food, and was very full. Greylina piously thanked Saint Doraemon and the people who grew these grains.
The sister named Magda told the pilgrims that they could rest in this church tonight and would be allowed to go to the Eternity Gate for pilgrimage tomorrow.
But it was limited to being in front of the Eternity Gate, and they would not be allowed to enter the true core area of the Imperial Palace. That is an opportunity only for Custodes, Primarchs, Saint Doraemon, and other chosen people.
The pilgrims then chanted the names of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and Saint Doraemon in a low voice, while Greylina's heart beat fast and she prayed to Saint Doraemon.
She had long discovered that the closer she was to Terra, the clearer the dream she felt when praying to Saint Doraemon.
Greylina held a bit of luck, hoping to feel Saint Doraemon's clear and definite will when praying.
She sang Saint Doraemon twenty-two times, and then began to hum Saint Doraemon's hymn softly.
Saint Doraemon is the primordial power, the source of power for all living beings, all spirits, all machines, and even all stars, the first power of all things. Every emotion of unceasing power and beautiful creativity in the heart points to Him.
Saint Doraemon is the Eternal Dragon, the whip and rice that feeds and nourishes all living beings. Every satisfied feeling of fullness, every pleasant meal, and every emotion of pious respect for food points to Him.
Saint Doraemon is the chosen one of death, the warm sleep, the end of all pain, and the guide to that eternal peaceful place in the twenty-second century. Every desire to return to the twenty-second century, every peaceful death, and every desire for comfort in pain points to Him.
Greylina grasped the satisfaction in her abdomen after dinner, grasped the comfort of this moment, grasped the power of pilgrimage in her heart for a lifetime, and prayed piously to Saint Doraemon.
Her faith was sincere, and almost every prayer could feel the connection with Saint Doraemon.
