Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Creating Faith
The imnse scene spread across the sky, resembling both the Celestial Court and a mirage in the desert.
The numbed and frozen populace of the Northland were initially unaware of this extraordinary sight.
But those in open spaces eventually noticed the anomaly in the sky.
“What is that in the sky? Is it an Immortal?”
With more and more cries of astonishnt, those trapped indoors also seed to sense sothing, and they eagerly looked up at the sky.
The swirling snowflakes had unknowingly diminished.
The imnse scene above the sky grew increasingly vivid.
What Althea portrayed in the domain scene in front of everyone was precisely the enthronent ceremony currently taking place at the Capital City’s Royal Palace.
At first, the populace did not recognize the people appearing in the scene.
But as the ceremony officials sang praises and announced proclamations, people slowly realized that what appeared in the sky was the scene from the Heavenly Origin Kingdom’s capital at that very mont.
“That’s Your Majesty… Your Majesty! His Majesty has co to save us!”
The snow disaster continued endlessly, and while the Imperial Court had asures, their effects were minimal, and the people were on the brink of survival.
So knelt toward the sky, while others, bowing in reverence, fervently begged His Majesty to save them.
Among them, there were those who grabbed snow mixed with dirt, angrily hurling it toward the sky, cursing loudly,
“What kind of fool is His Majesty?! So many have frozen to death here in the Northland, yet he remains comfortably in the Capital holding his enthronent ceremony!! He doesn’t care about our lives at all!”
When one did so, another would follow suit.
Amidst widespread snow disasters, there wouldn’t be any soldiers punishing them for rebellion.
They threw mud towards the sky, trying to vent their grievances. Though they received news slowly, they had heard what the State Preceptor ntioned during the Heaven ceremony.
“Apparently, just one person sacrificing to the heavens could save us all, but he refuses and instead bestows this demonic woman the title of Empress!”
Yes, a demonic woman.
Even if she were the fated Heavenly Maiden chosen by the Phoenix, if she couldn’t sacrifice for them, she’d be nothing but a demonic woman.
If she were a Divine Maiden, she should willingly die.
But instead, she’s ignoring the survival of millions in the Northland.
So looked at the sky hopelessly, so cried out, but most were numbly staring upwards.
Even if the scene before them was beyond belief, they were too exhausted to feel curious.
Surviving consud all their strength.
Regardless of how the Northlanders reacted, the enthronent ceremony in the sky proceeded unhurriedly.
Thus, the people of the Northland watched the enthronent ceremony conclude, saw the emperor and Empress accepting the courtiers’ bows, witnessed… the Phoenix that ascended from the golden hall.
The cries of anger and distress halted abruptly as people watched the Phoenix followed by a multitude of birds.
At the onset of the snow disaster, they had heard news about the Capital.
It was said that during Lily Phoenix’s coming-of-age ceremony, a Phoenix appeared to congratulate her.
Another said she summoned a Phoenix that then killed an impostor claiming to be the true daughter of the Phoenix Family.
So even said Lily Phoenix was a reincarnated Phoenix, turning into one and soaring at her ceremony.
Despite varying rumors, they unanimously declared that Lily, the real daughter of the Phoenix Family, was blessed by the Phoenix, the chosen fateful daughter.
If not for the State Preceptor’s rumors, perhaps they would sincerely wish for a new Empress for the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.
But due to the divine decree from the State Preceptor, they hoped this Phoenix-fated woman would die for them.
Yet, when witnessing the Phoenix manifest before them, all such notions were inexplicably dismissed by everyone.
Though they heard rumors, never having seen it, the rumors didn’t feel real.
But now, they witnessed it themselves.
The Phoenix in the scene was divinely sacred, accompanied by the soaring Fire Phoenix, like a baptism by holy fire.
Though rely watching, they seemingly felt the warmth of the Phoenix Flas.
It even seed that the Phoenix’s flas were lting the still-falling snowflakes.
Thinking this, they heard shouts around them,
“The snow! The snow stopped!”
Like a signal breaking the imrsion in the Phoenix’s appearance, soon everyone noticed that the snowflakes that had been falling from the sky had ceased.
Just at the mont the enthronent ceremony concluded, and the Phoenix took flight.
“The snow truly stopped, is it just a coincidence?”
The ongoing heavy snow hadn’t stopped entirely before, or if it did, only briefly like an hour or two.
More commonly, it shifted from blizzard to heavy snow, and heavy snow to light snow.
The relentless snow beca the nightmare of the Northlanders.
And at this mont, regardless of chance, the snow really stopped.
Could it be because of the enthronent ceremony?
Everyone hoped it was a miracle given by the heavens; as long as there was a miracle, they were willing to genuinely devote themselves to their Empress.
Only at that mont did they finally discuss the anomaly appearing in the sky.
Unknowingly, Althea stood above in the void, hearing all the voices below while continuously engaging in the mantra with her hands.
This event, rather than a surprise prepared by Damian Carlson and Althea, was more aligned with the initial plan of Samuel Chalrs and Scarlett Jennings.
Even if Damian didn’t intervene, Scarlett thought of having Susan project the Phoenix’s form during the enthronent ceremony.
This wasn’t to show off, but rather to sow a sense of faith and hope in the hearts of the collapsing populace.
As long as they genuinely believed she was the fated Heavenly Maiden chosen by the Phoenix, believed that her and the Emperor’s sacrifice to the heavens could move the higher powers,
then the people would have the hope to persevere.
As long as they endured till the imperial disaster relief arrived, there would be salvation for the Northland.
When reality reaches a dead end, faith becos their only salvation.
Scarlett wanted that brief faith from them.
Damian Carlson and Althea, knowing their plan, conspired to present this “gift.”
If establishing faith, nothing builds belief better than what is seen with one’s own eyes.
Being otherworldly souls willing to perform such a “show” for the Northlanders, how could they — as local demon gods of the Heavenly Origin — rely stand by?
Althea told herself,
“This isn’t ddling in mortal karma; this is simply a gift.”
Even if the Heavenly Dao knew she ddled, she believed it wouldn’t bla her.
She was about to undertake sothing grand.
Thinking this, the Spiritual Power belonging to the Ten-tailed Sky Fox radiated from Althea.
The silvery Spiritual Power rippled from her, covering the entire Northland in re monts.
As the Spiritual Power’s waves spread, the swirling snowflakes montarily froze, and shortly after, vanished without a trace.
If Samuel Chalrs were present, he would sense that the power supposedly from the Ten-tailed Sky Fox contained a hint of the Power of Heavenly Path.
Because the only one capable of controlling the four seasons and halting all things was the Heavenly Dao.
