Chapter 249: Believer's Dream, Radiant Divine Kingdom, Splendid Wedding (23)

Night.

Aaron originally lived in the capital city of Leyin, the Saint Mongte Grand Temple.

After finishing a day's work, the gold-robed Grand High Priest Jialade, under the service of his attendants, lay down on the wooden board bed in his room.

Although the temple is not a monastery, Mother Nature advocates frugality, so even the gold-robed Grand High Priest's material conditions are relatively simple.

Perhaps some high priests used not to care before, but after Mother Nature's return, no one dares to defy the doctrine and act recklessly.

After all, this is a church led by a true god, not like the Radiant Church, which is a deceitful trick fabricated by a false god.

At first, Jialade was quite unaccustomed to this simple life, because his previous life was even more affluent than a king's.

But he now has no choice but to do so, otherwise he would be estranged and abandoned by Mother Nature, and after death it would be hard for him to enter her divine kingdom.

That is absolutely unacceptable.

Over time he adapted, and even felt a sense of spiritual fulfillment.

Not long after closing his eyes, a warm, tranquil feeling arose in his heart, very pleasant.

All the worries and bodily discomforts of the day vanished completely.

Soon he fell into a sweet, deep sleep.

At some point, he suddenly felt someone speaking near his ear.

"Wake up, Brother Jialade."

Jialade woke up, but all he saw was darkness.

He felt doubtful and a little afraid, asking: "Who is calling me?"

Soon the darkness in his vision gradually faded, and then he saw light, a splendid light like a sky full of stars.

He instantly saw clearly that he was actually standing in a city so magnificent it was unimaginable.

This city was also in night, the sky pitch black, yet the ground was illuminated by endless lights.

Lights were everywhere.

Everywhere were buildings towering like mountain peaks into the clouds.

Everywhere were roads, and he stood at the edge of one.

This spacious, flat road existed not only on the ground but also in the sky.

They crisscrossed the sky like a dense spiderweb, connecting one towering building after another.

He also saw countless vehicles running on the roads, some resembling the new Black Stone vehicles.

These vehicles were gorgeous and precise, somewhat like Black Stone vehicles, but on closer look they had no wheels, instead hovering close to the ground.

Their speed was astonishingly fast, flashing by like phantoms on the road.

They were also very quiet, lacking the clanking of Black Stone vehicles and any foul odor.

Gacha~

A vehicle actually stopped at his side, its flawless-crystal window sliding down, and a strange man said to him, "Brother Jialade, you've finally come."

"'Brother' is an internal title in the church; males are called brothers, females sisters, signifying that before God all believers have equal status."

Zzz~~

This exceedingly beautiful vehicle opened its door in a very peculiar way, like a dragon unfurling its wings.

"Come aboard, Brother Jialade, Your Majesty's wedding is about to begin."

Jialade startled: "Your Majesty's wedding? Whose wedding?"

"Get in the vehicle, and I'll tell you slowly."

Jialade saw inside two very thick but peculiarly shaped chairs, guessed they were seats, and went up and sat down.

It felt extremely soft and comfortable; after sitting, it seemed a pair of small hands gently kneaded his shoulders and back, so pleasurable that he almost moaned.

Zzz~~Bang~~

The peculiarly shaped door closed, and the surroundings instantly became tranquil.

A man's voice came from ahead.

"Brother Jialade, this is the Nature Divine Kingdom; Your Majesty has specially invited you to attend her wedding, and I will take you to the holy plaza where the wedding will be held."

Jialade suddenly understood, and his shock grew stronger.

"Lord, this is actually the Nature Divine Kingdom? It is completely unlike what I imagined."

He had thought the Nature Divine Kingdom would stand in the clouds, bathed in countless holy lights, supremely magnificent and glorious.

Of course, I'm not saying the sight before him isn't magnificent or glorious; it simply far exceeds the limits of his imagination.

No matter how he imagined it, he could never have pictured the Nature Divine Kingdom looking like this.

Precisely for this reason he believes all this is real, not an ordinary dream.

Because a person cannot dream of something he has never seen, let alone dream it so vividly and clearly.

He turned his head and saw that even inside this vehicle, which the other party called a 'car', there were many things he had never seen before.

Although he had never seen them, they seemed utterly logical, as if they ought to be this way.

Soon the vehicle started moving.

It was very smooth, yet extremely fast, quickly catching up with the traffic on the road.

Jialade noticed that the vehicles on the road varied in appearance, but each was exquisitely gorgeous, feeling like the finest creations in the world.

He couldn't help asking: "Who is driving those vehicles?"

"Like me, ordinary people living in the Divine Kingdom; many of the passengers in the vehicles are like you, invited to go to the holy plaza to attend Your Majesty's wedding."

"Are many people invited?"

"Many; almost every high priest of each temple in the mortal realm, plus countless devout believers, have been invited—estimated at tens of thousands."

Jialade was greatly startled; just as he was about to ask, he suddenly noticed the vehicle entering a long tunnel.

After the mountain cave emerged, it directly opened onto a semi‑transparent sky road.

And it kept opening higher and higher, until finally it was almost level with the cloud layer.

"How high are we now?" Galad asked, heart pounding.

"About over a thousand meters, but that's still far from the top; the highest can reach over five thousand meters."

"Oh~ Mother Nature above!"

Galad was so shocked his mouth could barely close, and he asked again: "What is this towering structure made of? Won't it collapse?"

"Brother Galad, this is not the mortal realm, but the domain of the true god. The true god possesses wisdom and arcane arts far beyond mortal comprehension."

"So, don't try to understand the divine kingdom with mortal knowledge, or you'll make a fool of yourself."

Galad nodded in agreement, yet he kept exclaiming in awe at the sights around him.

At this moment, they were not only racing above the clouds, but also drifting through an endless sea of stars.

The wildest, most grandiose imaginings of mortals fall short of what lies before them by a hundred and eight thousand miles.

The divine kingdom is truly magnificent! Looking left and right from the sky road, one sees dense lights everywhere—up, down, left, right—a thousand times more splendid than the mortal sea of stars, no, ten thousand times! Gradually, the vehicle slowed, as more and more vehicles filled the road.

Countless vehicles converged toward the center along web‑like roads, while ahead lay an enormous plaza built high in the heavens.

The plaza was enveloped by a pillar of golden light that stretched from heaven to earth.

From outside it looked like night, but once inside the light pillar the sky brightened—not blue, but endless golden light.

In the golden light floated many bubble‑like orbs, each emitting song—the very "Hymn to Nature" that is most popular in the mortal realm.

Countless orbs sang together, their voices merging into a torrent of song.

Just a moment ago it was a mysterious, magnificent sea of stars; now it is a holy, radiant plaza.

The vehicle stopped, its doors opened, and passengers stepped out, each bearing an unbelievable appearance—just like Galad at this moment.

Obviously, they too were mortals invited to the wedding.

"Brother Galad, I'll bring you this far."

"After this, you'll go on your own; when the wedding ends, Your Majesty will send you back to the mortal realm."

With those words, the man got into the vehicle and drove off quickly.

Galad had no time to watch him go, for his attention was drawn by his companions nearby.

He spotted many acquaintances in the crowd.

"Ah, Sister Alina, you're also invited?"

"Oh~ Brother Galad, it's wonderful to see you."

He kept greeting acquaintances, then gathered with them, curiously questioning each other.

"Since it's a wedding, who is Your Majesty's husband?"

People shook their heads, each face showing the same curiosity.

More and more mortal believers arrived, gathering on the plaza; a glance showed crowds everywhere.

Everyone harbored the same doubt.

Who is the husband of Mother Nature? No one doubted this was not the Nature Divine Kingdom, for everything was too concrete, too detailed, making it impossible not to believe it was real.

Gradually, no one else arrived.

On this so‑called holy plaza, heads began to throng, and it even grew crowded.

Just then, the background hymn to nature suddenly swelled, and the sky filled with many fluttering, splendid ribbons of light.

Next, a flash of light on the central high platform of the holy plaza revealed a woman over ten meters tall, wrapped in a cluster of golden soft light, wearing a fiery red wedding gown.

Upon seeing her, the believers immediately noticed she resembled the sculpture of Mother Nature in the temple almost exactly.

Obviously, she is Mother Nature.

But compared to the stiff, crude statue, the woman before them was ten times more lively, ten times more beautiful, and ten times more holy.

Every believer felt the same thought arise.

It turned out this was the true god's actual form.

Thus, the believers immediately began to sing the hymn to nature in unison.

Amid the singing, another figure gradually appeared on the platform.

At first blurry, then clear, and slowly a full form emerged.

It was Duke Weilan! Duke Weilan's appearance had spread throughout the Nature Alliance; virtually everyone living in the Alliance, and many in the Radiant Empire, knew what he looked like.

Only see that the duke wore black formal attire, a white shirt, and his body was also several meters tall—even a bit taller than Mother Nature.

He too was shrouded in a layer of golden soft light, and he took Mother Nature's arm.

Clearly, he is the husband of Mother Nature.

Witnessing this, the Golden‑Robe High Priest Galad, after his initial shock, formed a thought.

"No wonder Your Majesty issued a divine edict supporting Duke Weilan—turns out he is the husband Your Majesty chose!"

He then sighed inwardly: "Perhaps only someone like him is worthy to be Your Majesty's husband."

Every believer's face showed a similar expression.

Astonishment, realization, epiphany.

Next, Mother Nature's voice, soft and full of maternal tenderness, rang out from the platform.

"To my followers in the mortal realm, I now formally declare that Luosen Saxon is the husband I have chosen."

"Whether in heaven or on earth, I will bestow upon him endless glory, to reward his outstanding contributions to the Nature Alliance."

"On earth, he shall become the first emperor of the Nature Alliance, spreading the wisdom of the divine kingdom to the mortal realm and leading the alliance to glory!"

With those words, Galad suddenly felt his mind jolt, his vision went dark, and then he jerked awake.

He still clearly remembered everything that had happened in the dream, and immediately bowed his head to begin praying.

"Mother Nature, please guide me and tell me that everything that just happened is real, not the devil's lies."

"Soon, he received a response—a feeling full of joy, praise, and gentleness, with a vague notion hidden within."

"I am the earthly spokesperson, supporting my husband."

"Jialade let out a long breath: 'As you wish, Your Excellency.'"

"God's husband wants to become the emperor of the mortal world, to spread the wisdom of the divine kingdom to humanity, and he naturally must give his full support."

"As soon as he thought of the magnificent scene he had seen in the divine kingdom, Jialade felt an overwhelming shock."

"Indeed, it truly is worthy of being the divine kingdom~~~"

"Again, thinking of how his soul would live in such a magnificent world after death, his heart filled with longing, even entertaining the idea of dying right then to enjoy life in the divine kingdom."

"He naturally could not die, for the church strictly forbids suicide, and the souls of suicides must go to hell."

"But he no longer feared death."

"At the same time, this was also the thought of nearly all believers who had been guided into the divine kingdom's dream."

"Meanwhile, in the faith puppet chamber of Weilan Swan Castle, Luosen and Qi Ge Rui La Na remained in the divine kingdom's dream."

"The believers had all been sent away, so the entire divine kingdom was just the two of them."

"Qi Ge Rui La Na could no longer suppress the shock in her heart."

"\"Dear, the natural divine kingdom you built is truly magnificent! \""

"\"If there truly is a divine kingdom in this world, it could not possibly be better than this! \""

"\"Luosen laughed: 'It took quite a bit of my effort.'\""

"\"Actually, this so-called natural divine kingdom is merely modeled after Earth's major cities, with some sci-fi imagination and localization tweaks, yet the effect is indeed good. \""

"\"It directly left those inexperienced otherworldly folks dazed and bewildered. \""

"\"And this is inevitable. \""

"\"Not to mention other worlds; even on Earth, if an 18th-century person saw the world of a 21st-century person, they would absolutely be stunned. \""

"\"This is merely a difference of 200 years within the same world. \""

"\"Qi Ge Rui La Na naturally did not know Luosen's thoughts. \""

"\"She now practically worships her husband Luosen, mixed with deep personal feelings. \""

"\"So she couldn't help but ask: 'The heavenly wedding has taken place; what about the earthly one?'\""

"\"The earthly one is also coming soon, in just a month or two. \""

"\"Still that long? Isn't it almost ready? What are we waiting for? \""

"\"She couldn't wait to be clinging to Luosen every day. \""

"\"Luosen secretly worried: 'Ah, the girl being too enthusiastic isn't good either.'\""

"\"He smiled, saying: 'This can't be approximate; we must prepare fully, guarantee absolute safety, for I do not want my grandfather's tragedy to repeat on me.'\""

"\"Before his words even finished, he saw Qi Ge Rui La Na's facial features soften considerably, her eyes brimming with tears. \""

"\"He silently thought: 'Ah, a casual line just flirted her into this state—too emotional, no wonder the Heavenly Father of Divine Majesty thinks this granddaughter is spoiled.'\""

"\"But having said that, he also wasn't lying. \""

"\"Indeed, they were still lacking a bit, mainly in dealing with the Lord of Radiance's madness. \""

"\"Most preparations were complete; they only lacked a new ultimate technique. \""
