Chapter 653: Light God Realm
The gates of the Light Temple opened silently, and a woman walked slowly out from the great hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Goddess." The temple guards stationed around the temple knelt on one knee in unison, offering their highest respect to the Goddess who had guided the Light God Clan out of the crisis of extinction during the Millennium Holy War.
In fact, if it hadn't been for Aofeina using her own strength to push the Light God Clan to join the Hundred Races Covenant back then, the entire Light God Clan would likely have been wiped out by the Demon Race by now. Of course, Aofeina's actions also provided a good example for the other God Clans, so in the end, almost all the God Clans joined the Hundred Races Covenant, which not only allowed these God Clans to escape the fate of extinction but also greatly increased the strength of the Hundred Races Covenant, significantly accelerating the progress of the Millennium Holy War.
Among the God Clans, there were those who joined the Hundred Races Covenant, and naturally, there were those who did not; the most obvious example of this was the Ice and Snow God Clan. At the time, no matter how Aofeina tried to persuade her, the Ice and Snow Goddess simply did not want to join the Hundred Races Covenant. She believed that as a God Clan, born upholding the order of heaven and earth, how could she possibly associate with those lowly races. The final result was that the Demon army pressed down on the border, and the Ice and Snow God Clan was annihilated.
If it weren't for the Ice and Snow Goddess having extraordinary abilities herself, she would have died under the butcher's knife of the Lord of the Demon World as well. Although the Ice and Snow Goddess escaped that disaster, she had to enter a deep slumber due to her injuries being too severe, and to this day, Aofeina has had no news of her.
"I want the intelligence from the Continent over these past few years," Aofeina said, looking at the temple guard kneeling before her.
"Yes!" A temple guard nodded, then transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished.
Regarding intelligence, the Light God Clan has never been lacking, as the Light God Clan still has a massive branch on the Continent: the Light Empire.
It did not take long for that temple guard to return. In his hand was a scroll engraved with the mark of the Light God Clan, which he respectfully presented to Aofeina, who was sitting on a chair in the middle of the great hall.
Aofeina took the scroll and waved her hand slightly. The temple guard nodded and then left the temple.
Aofeina looked at the scroll in her hand, her formidable Mental Power instantly permeating it. For an existence like her, reading the events recorded in a scroll took no more than the effort of a single breath.
"The Elf Ancient Tree has advanced to an Eternal Ancient Tree? I remember that after Aiweier was reincarnated, the previous Eternal Ancient Tree regressed into an Elf Ancient Tree. Now that the Elf Ancient Tree has advanced once more, it means that woman should be coming back soon. Hmph, I was wondering why that woman had such a strange expression when she looked at me back then; it turns out she was hiding quite a few things from me." Aofeina's tone carried a trace of dissatisfaction, but even more so, it held nostalgia.
"This, this is... Demon Qi has appeared?" However, when she saw the next piece of information, Aofeina could not help but knit her brows.
When she descended upon the Holy Church earlier, she had felt that something was not quite right; she hadn't expected such a major incident to have occurred.
"It seems the thing we were both worried about back then has finally come to pass. Fortunately, this time there is still Lingyun. Although I don't know why his strength has become what it is now, with his various unfathomable abilities, dealing with a completely dead Lord of the Demon World should still be more than enough." Aofeina's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop. "No, no, regardless, I am still very worried about him."
"Someone, come here!" Aofeina slapped the table and said in a cold voice.
"Your Highness the Goddess, what are your orders?" A man dressed in white robes appeared before Aofeina.
"Kaine, I have some bad news to tell you: we will likely have to return to the Continent once more," Aofeina said.
"What is it, Your Highness the Goddess? Has something happened over on the Continent?" Kaine asked, frowning as he heard Aofeina say this.
"According to the latest news sent over by the Pope of the Light Church, it seems someone wants to use the stolen body of the Lord of the Demon World to do something. Some of the Sacred Gear I left in the Church were even invaded by Demon Qi. If it hadn't been discovered early, and if someone hadn't stepped in to help, it likely would have already caused a catastrophe," Aofeina said.
"What? There is such a thing?" Hearing Aofeina's words, Kaine, the new generation War God of the Light God Clan, could not help but have his expression change drastically.
He had heard his father and grandfather speak of the power of the Lord of the Demon World back then. During the Millennium Holy War, the once-powerful Light God Clan suffered heavy losses and has not fully recovered to this day. If the Lord of the Demon World were to appear again, even if it were only a corpse, it could pose a massive threat to the Light God Clan.
"Your Highness the Goddess, what should we do now?" Kaine asked softly.
"Right now, our most important task is to open the passage between the God Realm and the Continent," Aofeina said.
"This..."
Hearing Aofeina's words, a trace of hesitation appeared on Kaine's face.
"I also know this is not easy; after all, when we left the Continent, the passage between the Continent and the God Realm was already on the verge of collapse. But now that the Lord of the Demon World could reappear at any moment, we must repair this passage and be ready for war at any time," Aofeina said. "I will contact the other God Clans as soon as possible; after all, this matter also involves their safety."
"Your Highness, do you wish to recreate the Hundred Races Alliance of the past?" A look of astonishment appeared on Kaine's face.
"That's right. With such a major incident occurring, we can't just face it alone," Aofeina said.
Suddenly, a flash of white light shone before Aofeina.
"Who is there?" Seeing this white light appear without warning, Kaine gripped the Long sword in his hand and stared at it with a vigilant expression.
The white light dissipated, and a piece of paper appeared on the table.
Aofeina's gaze fell upon it, and she could not help but let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
"Your Highness the Goddess, be careful of a trap!" Seeing Aofeina actually reach out to touch this paper of unknown origin, Kaine warned her nervously.
"Do you think that someone capable of doing this right under our noses would need to go to such great lengths if they wanted to do something to us?" Aofeina rolled her eyes and said.
Having said that, Aofeina reached out and picked up the white paper from the table.
When she saw the contents on the white paper, a trace of astonishment could not help but appear on her face.
"What is it, Your Highness the Goddess?" Seeing the change in Aofeina's expression, Kaine hurriedly asked.
"This paper contains the method for repairing the passage between the God Realm and the Continent!" Aofeina's single sentence left Kaine stunned.
"The method for repairing the passage between the God Realm and the Continent?" Kaine's face was full of disbelief. "This... Your Highness the Goddess, you aren't joking with me, are you?"
"Do you think I would joke about something like this?" Aofeina asked.
"Bu-but, wasn't the method for repairing the passage lost long ago? Is the information on this paper a lie?"
"I just calculated it; if we follow this method, the probability of the passage being successfully repaired is over ninety percent," Aofeina said.
Hearing this from Aofeina, Kaine immediately shut his mouth. This generation's Light Goddess was the most outstanding one in history; if she said there was no problem, then there was no problem.
"Kaine, give the order immediately to collect one-fifth of the materials on this list first; we will conduct an experiment. If the experiment is successful, we will immediately set about repairing the passage."
"Yes! Your Highness the Goddess!"
