Facing the entrance of the Sky Temple’s spire base, the goddess with green hair and green eyes stood side by side with the priestess. The deity already held in her hand a seed as green and lush as an erald.
As ntioned before, this is no ordinary blessing seed. Even Miss Goddess of Life herself spent a whole week nurturing it, which can be fully regarded as the embryonic form of Sethlin.
This sowhat déjà vu-inducing behavior was jokingly referred to as “giving birth” more than once by a certain priest.
The upper echelons of the Azure Sky Kingdom, including the Feathered Emperor Estini and the High Priestess Estila, as well as the Four Wings who rushed back urgently last night to witness this mont, and the four original temple guardians, along with the likes of Leila, Rene, Edwina, Theresa, and other close associates of Miss Priestess, were all nervously waiting nearby.
Even Felina ca to the scene because Violet asked her to witness this mont for the Queen Majesty in the distant Courage City.
Indeed, these core mbers already knew the identity of Sethlin, the newly appointed Goddess of Life.
“Violet, are you ready?”
“Of course, I’m ready anyti~”
“Well then, let’s begin.”
Ignoring the incomprehensible words that popped out of the dark-haired girl’s mouth, the goddess with green hair and eyes closed her eyes, spread her hands, and countless slender strands of hair floated slightly in the air. The bluish-green seed also floated under the glow, smoothly penetrating the ground despite being covered by tiles.
“In the na of life, sprout!”
Countless verdant rays blossod from the hands of the goddess, swirling and winding as they injected into the earth. And so, five seconds passed, then ten...
“Rumble rumble rumble rumble...”
The ground beneath their feet began to shake. Not only the Sky City but the entire floating island trembled slightly under the will of the gods, as if so colossal creature were brewing beneath the surface, about to burst forth!
“Violet, it’s now!”
“Alright~”
With a casual gesture, the dark-haired girl spun sothing and hurled it into the ground where the shaking was most intense. The earth seed to co alive, suddenly cracking open and enclosing whatever she had thrown.
They hadn’t told many people about suppressing the seal, they only ntioned that the divine tree was used to block the passage to the Abyss and to bestow blessings and protection upon the city.
After all, those who had released the withered goddess were still unidentified. Even with Violet’s 10th-level seal as a backup, it was better to have multiple layers of insurance.
After swallowing the golden crystal containing the sealed divinity, the colossal entity, which had been growing madly under the continuous infusion of life divine power, finally stopped hiding and burst out of the ground with a resounding boom!
It was a tree, yet not just a tree.
Wrapped within the towering spire, countless verdant vines intertwined and coiled upward like a sheath, before the youthful and vibrant shell gradually differentiated, spreading out branches and leaves, growing and expanding outward, transforming into the form of a tree.
The tree that obscured the sky, a marvel that should have taken hundreds or even thousands of years to grow to such a spectacle, was now visible in its infancy within just a few minutes, bestowed by the power of the gods.
asured in kiloters, taller than the original spire of the Sky Temple, the giant tree pierced the sky, encompassing even the floating palace in the air. Its canopy reached even the battleground where Violet and the withered goddess had their divine confrontation.
Witnessing such a miraculous sight, even those with the political acun of the Feathered Emperor couldn’t help but show astonishnt. Theresa was so shaken by the tremors of the earth that she plopped down on the ground.
Edwina was full of excitent and exhilaration, scribbling furiously from the beginning, not knowing what to write. Even the proud little dragon girl’s gaze towards Sethlin held a hint of affirmation.
But causing the divine tree to grow was just the first step.
Seemingly not burdened by such miracles, the Goddess of Life remained unchanged in expression, closing her eyes and extending her hand to her side.
“Violet, co.”
“Mm.”
The fair hands of the two girls intertwined in the air.
“Hum~”
Radiance and vitality descended upon the world simultaneously, but this ti they didn’t engage in a fierce struggle. Instead, they rged and interwove with each other. Then, the central divine tree suddenly burst forth with dazzling colorful clouds!
That radiance turned into waves, spreading infinitely. In an instant, it surged beyond the range of the Sky Island, spreading, spreading in all directions. It covered one floating island after another, encompassing the entire Azure Sky Kingdom, and even farther, farther away!
This light did not disturb any living beings, but wherever it passed, those world channels that had been ravaged by the passage of ti and devastated by the Doomsday Bombardnt, invisible to the naked eye, swiftly solidified like healed wounds, transforming into sturdy and solid space.
The channels connecting the Abyss with the mortal world were completely severed by the power of the gods.
Originally, with Sethlin’s current power, it was impossible to seal off all Abyss entrances while the divine tree was forming because it was too vast, and the split of the Life and Withering divinities, while allowing her to avoid the rejection of the world in a sense, also divided the power of the Goddess of Earth, rendering neither Life nor Withering godhood as dominant as before.
But Violet’s participation made this possible.
Her soul power was stronger than Sethlin’s, and light and life had achieved a smooth fusion, becoming the best catalyst and nutrient for the latter, just as the priestess always did.
However.
Because she was involved in the process of sealing the channels, Violet’s perception also extended outward along the spreading ripples, probing into another mysterious and unknown world through the continuously healing channels.
She heard cries and wails.
There were those who prayed, not just one, two, but countless voices, their cries mournful and desperate, filled with endless despair after being abandoned.
Although she couldn’t understand those languages, the prayers turned into clear thoughts, entering the mind of the priestess.
They said.
“Oh god! Why have you left us? Why have you abandoned us! For a thousand years, we’ve waited for you, prepared for you, passing down our legacy for generations, only to finally save you. Why are you so heartless now!!!”
They said.
“Goddess! Divine of earth and hope! Your humble followers offer prayers here. I am willing to offer everything, just hoping for you to turn your gaze to this world and save this world on the brink of destruction...”
They said.
“Why, why is it like this? Didn’t the divine promise that as long as we help you break free from the malicious prison, you will bestow blessings upon us and let us return to our holand? Why then do the divine punishnts co one after another? Aibus, Aibus, where is your future...”
They said.
“I know, I know! I’ve said from the very beginning that restarting the Doomsday Bombardnt harms both heaven and earth, and it’s sothing the gods won’t tolerate! The divine has deceived us. The land where the apocalypse descends is not so desolate airspace! Otherwise, why would divine punishnts co down!?”
Countless beliefs, countless prayers, and cries assaulted the girl’s mind, plunging her into confusion and bewildernt.
What were these...?
The residents of the Abyss wailing? Why? Weren’t they supposed to be invaders?
What... was going on here?
