Chapter 538: Do You Know You Have Become a Goddess?

Negris thought it was very quiet, but the woman immediately turned to its direction and asked in confusion: "Who are you? You have the aura of life, but also the fluctuation of a soul. Who are you?"

"Eh, so sensitive? Uh, I am the God of Knowledge. You can call me Negris," Negris was surprised and hurriedly introduced itself.

The woman frowned: "How strange. I feel what you said is true, but why do you have soul fluctuations? Is the God of Knowledge an undead creature?"

Everyone's heart thudded. Anthony and Negris looked at each other in horror: "Truth Eye?"

This ability to perceive whether people are telling the truth or not—wasn't it the same nature as Cabrera's Truth Eye?

However, Cabrera's Truth Eye claimed to see through all illusions, but the bragging component was greater. Anthony was used to it now and could easily fool him, even making him form a preconceived impression. Now, even if Anthony said he wasn't the Pope, he wouldn't believe it.

But this woman's perception of truth and falsehood seemed sharper than the Truth Eye.

"Of course not. This is just my avatar. My main body is a book," Negris hurriedly said 'honestly'.

"Oh, hello, God of Knowledge. Nice to meet you. I am a believer of the Light, Gonia." I don't know what she perceived, but the doubt on the woman's face disappeared, replaced by a joyful expression.

Negris turned its head and asked in a low voice: "What is a believer of the Light?"

Anthony shook his head: "Don't know."

Even Anthony didn't know, which meant the Church of Light in the main plane didn't have this title. Others could say the classics were lost, but Anthony couldn't, because he burned the classics, and he should have read them before burning.

However, their whispering was still heard by Gonia. A look of loss appeared on her face: "Has so much time passed? Has my name not even been passed down? Or have we been forgotten by the Light?"

Anthony hurriedly comforted: "Not forgotten, not forgotten. Aren't we here now? It's just that too much time has passed, and many imprints have dissipated in the darkness, needing you to reproduce them for us. Oh, forgot to introduce, I am the spokesperson for the God of Scales in the human world, Pope Saint Anthony. May the holy light soothe your soul."

While speaking, he sacrificed holy light to stroke her head.

As expected of a professional god-stick, in a few words, he smoothed out the loss on Gonia's face, and even had a little excitement: "Pope? Did you come to receive us back personally? Your holy light is so pure. Who was the adult who treated me just now? His holy light is purer."

*Thud*. Negris and Anthony looked at each other. Anthony asked: "Hehe, wasn't the holy light you saw before pure?"

Gonia shook her head: "Not pure, very complicated, and some were even very dirty. You are true saints."

Fundamentalism, this is.

Anthony's eyes turned, and he knew how to deal with it: "The one who treated you just now is the God of Equality and Scales, the only main god under the Light."

Gonia's eyes widened, looking at Anthony in horror: "Only?"

"Yes, only." Anthony was stunned for a moment. She didn't know?

Sure enough, Gonia asked: "What happened? Where are the other main gods? Where is the Goddess of Redemption? Where is the God of Arbitration? Where is the God of Light and Darkness?"

Anthony pondered for a moment before asking tentatively: "Do you know the Warlock Alliance?"

"I know. That Alchemy Warlock Alliance. Before I was frozen, I heard that their Sixth Alchemy Academy officially started enrollment. At that time, someone asked me if learning alchemy counted as abandoning the Light. I said no, as long as you yearn for it, even if you fall into the abyss, it doesn't count as abandoning the Light," Gonia said.

Anthony hurriedly leaned to Ang's side and whispered: "Adult, ask Silver Coin, when did the Warlock Alliance's Sixth Alchemy Academy start enrollment?"

【Immortal Wood Miracle】

Ang quickly used his soul to summon Silver Coin and got the reply after asking: "Three thousand years ago."

"Hiss—you have been frozen for over three thousand years. Then do you know the Starburst Array?" Anthony asked.

Gonia shook her head.

"Then do you know the Undead Empire?" Anthony asked again.

Gonia still shook her head.

This was trouble. If it wasn't the Warlock Alliance, then who destroyed their plane?

Gonia still shook her head: "I don't know what happened either. Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and the entire plane shattered. A large amount of seawater surged onto the land. Everyone in our Holy City could only gather together, relying on the protective shield to support it, but it couldn't last for half a day. I had to use the Life Shackles to let everyone pray, connect everyone's life together, and then hibernate."

"No attack? Just a natural disaster?" Negris asked. If it were a natural disaster, it would be fine. If it were man-made, who could easily destroy a plane? The Warlock Alliance couldn't do it either.

Gonia said blankly: "I don't know. If it wasn't a natural disaster, then it could only be divine punishment. We didn't blaspheme any gods."

Anthony couldn't help but laugh: "No need to blaspheme gods. Sometimes, your existence is already a kind of blasphemy. However, even gods find it difficult to easily destroy a plane. It should just be a natural disaster."

"Oh, what you said has the meaning of blaspheming gods, but I feel what you said is right. How strange," Gonia said depressedly.

A Pope saying that gods can't do it—isn't this blasphemy? Even if he knows it's like this, the Pope should hold on and shout loudly 'The Light is omnipotent'.

Anthony was stunned again: "Fundamentalism? You guys wouldn't have been exiled, would you?"

"Exiled? No, it's just that the church needed us to spread the glory of the gods to the barren world, so we came to the Ice Sea Abyss," Gonia was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained.

Anthony nodded, indicating he understood: "Yes, yes, yes, spreading the glory of the gods, not exiled. I said it wrong."

It was indeed exile. Fundamentalists are actually about as annoying as heretics in the church, and maybe even more annoying, because you can't treat them the way you treat heretics, because they hold the most primitive tenets and are the small group of people with the purest beliefs.

But they also represent stubbornness, conservatism, and lack of progress, and they can't adapt to the development of the church at all. Mainly, it's inconvenient for everyone to make money.

And for this kind of conservative, the church generally exiles them to barren places, under the beautiful name of 'spreading glory', such as those stubborn people who were sent to the Abyss of Rest back then, or the Holy Blade Legion, or the Silver Knight Legion.

After thousands of years of baptism, the stubborn ones were washed away, and the rest were all old slippery ones.

It's not that old slippery ones are bad. Anthony actually likes old slippery ones more, because they will change their stance for the sake of profit. Anthony likes dealing with them the most.

Being exiled and still thinking they are going to spread the glory of God—what simple children. The so-called believers are estimated to be similar to those ascetic monks, both simple and stubborn, using their own firmness to hold the faith.

Thinking of this, Anthony sighed: "It's a pity that you have been sleeping for over three thousand years. Many things have happened during this period. The gods have fallen."

Gonia was mentally prepared and just nodded: "Can you tell me what happened?"

Anthony told her about the Starburst, Faith Storm, Warlock Alliance, Undead Empire, and so on, with some reservations.

Gonia was a bit messy and said painfully: "I can feel that what you said is true. Have the gods really fallen? Now the main plane is actually dominated by undead creatures?"

"Yes, the Starburst Array released a powerful Faith Storm, which not only annihilated the gods of the main plane but also attracted the Undead Monarch of the God Realm. We are also the Church of Light from the God Realm. Now, whether it is the God Realm or here, we are the only Light, that is, the God of Equality and Scales," Anthony said.

Gonia hugged her arms painfully, not wanting to face reality, and buried her face in her arms. After waiting for so long, she woke up only to face such changes. Everything she believed in didn't exist.

"Don't be sad. At least the people you want to protect are all still there. You guys were saved after spending a lot of energy from the God of Scales. By the way, how many people are there specifically?" Anthony said.

As expected of a god-stick, his grasp of human hearts is meticulous. Even a believer from three thousand years ago was held firmly by him.

Hearing this, Gonia jumped up immediately and said excitedly: "Right, right, everyone is still alive. Thanks to the grace, God of Scales, please save these suffering believers. I am willing to offer everything I have to pray for your mercy."

As she spoke, sacred light ignited on Gonia's body, very pure.

This wasn't a difficult task, because the most difficult part had already been done by Ang. Now, he just needed to release the people frozen in ice.

Others would have to be careful when doing this kind of thing, but it was easy for Tom. Ang only needed to purify it continuously, and it could easily shatter all the ice blocks without damaging the human bodies inside.

One by one, human bodies were transferred out, carefully placed, and then counted.

"About 120,000 people," Anthony said.

"Didn't you say there were 200,000 people? Why are there so many missing?" Negris was surprised.

Anthony analyzed: "The plane exploded and shattered. The remaining ones might have drifted in other directions."

Gonia immediately said: "I will go find them. I will leave these people to you, Pope."

Anthony hurriedly stopped her: "Are you crazy? This is the void. It's been three thousand years. Who knows where they drifted? How will you find them? Don't get lost in the void yourself."

Gonia smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. 120,000 people have already been saved. Even if I get lost in the void, it doesn't matter. They trusted me so much back then; I can't abandon them."

Anthony let her go helplessly. This kind of person is called a saint in the church and is not afraid of death at all. For a lofty goal, they are willing to sacrifice everything.

It's not good or bad, it's just that Anthony is very annoyed by this kind of person. If time were ample, Anthony would definitely have to fool her until she was lame.

Gonia crossed her hands in front of her chest and saluted Ang: "My Lord Scales, please protect us safely."

With the sound of 'My Lord', an imprint floated up from her body and projected into Ang's body.

An invisible connection was established between her and Ang.

Ang tilted his head curiously, because he saw a faint light on Gonia's body.

"She has light on her," Ang said.

"Light? What light?" Negris asked in surprise.

Anthony said: "The adult can see it, but we can't. That must be divine light. Adult, what kind of light is it?"

Ang racked his brains to describe it, and he didn't know if this skeleton had brain juice.

"Totem? No, no, it should be a witch, a witch who communicates between gods and people. Gonia, do you know you have become a goddess?" Anthony asked.
