Years passed, and Prophet Dolanu Nunu still insisted on dressing up in lavish and rich attire.
With his golden scepter in hand, colourful feathers, and ten fingers full of gemstones, gold, silver and pearl rings, he was the centre of attention of the crowd wherever he went.
After the return of the White God, he walked with his head held high.
As a prophet, Duo Lun Nunu’s mission was to transmit the will of the gods, and his status was because of the White God’s affirmation. While Yao God was the master of this world, White God was Yao God’s only subordinate god, and the only god that was recognised!
Over the past thirty years, Duo Lun Nunu had not had a good time.
The unanswered questions from the gods have caused many to become contemptuous of the Prophet. Although they still make offerings to the gods and come to the temple to pray and kneel, the diffidence cannot be hidden.
These short-sighted fools!
None of them have thought of the gems and rarities that all have acquired in the north, which are the gifts and guidance of the White God!
Now the gods had returned!
Although the White God-sama seems to be a little sleepy …… but that doesn’t matter.
Doranunuu was determined to revive the majesty of the temple.
The gilded prophet paced slowly and walked to the entrance of the temple.
He wanted to say something, but seeing the scene outside, all sorts of words clogged his throat for a while.
Outside the Salt City Divine Hall, a dense crowd knelt.
Among them were the once-invincible slave traders, the Salt Clan who boasted of their noble blood, and the scholars, captains and artisans who held important seats on the Citizens’ Council ……
One by one, their heads were pressed to the ground, and in front of them were earthenware jars and plates containing offerings to the gods. All of them were silent for fear of disturbing the sanctity of the temple.
Hmph.
Wallflower.
Dorian Nuno didn’t say a word.
The people kneeling outside looked at each other, and finally they looked at one man.
This person bravely got up and took two steps forward, saying with a pleasing smile, “Lord Prophet, we are only expressing our respect for the gods and our devotion to Lord Yao God and Lord White God, we have no other intention.”
Duo Lun Nunu recognised this merchant.
His name was Mercantile, he was the head of the slave traders, and he was the one who led the development of the Citizens’ Council.
In today’s Salt City, Shang Kei could be considered a pivotal big shot. In the past, quite a few people from the council came to the temple to put on an act, and although they were polite to Duo Lun Nunu, it was nothing more than a pretence.
Duo Lununu once asked the council to build a circle of side halls outside the temple, following the example of Yao City. In this way, it would ensure the quietness of the temple and also give the believers a more orderly place to worship.
The council said they would do their best to facilitate this.
Dolanunu keeps pushing, but the council says that a council resolution must be passed in order to get the appropriate tax money. Right now, for various reasons, maintenance money is tight and they can’t afford to draw that much money.
They gave a token amount of sea shells, but it was only a perfunctory gesture.
Doronunuu recorded the incident in detail on paper as a permanent disgrace and a constant warning to himself.
The construction of the side hall was delayed for ten years.
It was clear to Dorenunu that the gods had left the world for the time being, so these people were losing their reverence.
The slave traders were such a group of people, like poorly bred dogs.
You have to whip it to get it to wag its tail at you, and if you talk to it nicely, then it doesn’t pay any attention at all.
Shangji compensated by carefully whispering, “Prophet, the construction of the side hall will start tonight. I don’t know if this will disturb the purity of Lord God?”
Duo Lun Nunu’s face was expressionless, “Lord God, is always forgiving to pious and loyal believers.”
“Of course, of course, we are all the most loyal followers of Lord Yao God and White God.”
Shangji echoed.
It was only when Dorian Nuno asked that he found out what was going on.
They were not aware of the return of the gods.
The reason is in heaven.
Just as Dorenu Nunu was praying within the temple, the Eclipsing Sun descended, and the whole Salt City was thrown into a new round of panic.
The long unseen apostle Lady Isabel suddenly appeared, and she flew towards the immense Eclipsing Sun with Excalibur in her hand.
The seemingly tiny apostle rushed into the huge Eclipsing Sun, and the black sun that looked down on the ground was killed and retreated, and finally fled towards the sea horizon in a state of distress and panic.
The sight in the sky was witnessed by all, and the shock was unspeakable.
The terrifying Ember Sun, which is unrivalled and comparable to a god in everyone s eyes, faced Lord Yao God s apostle like a horse and deer being chased by a hunter …… It is empty of a huge body and strength, but it is completely unable to resist the divine might, and can only desperately run away.
The keen merchants immediately realised that Lord Yao God was going to rectify this world!
They rushed in a panicked group, offering their respective collections of precious treasures in a desperate attempt to remedy the situation.
Dolun Nunu wanted to laugh as he listened.
He did not move on his face, “The affairs of the Lord Apostle are beyond your comprehension, and you need not speculate.”
“Yes, yes, Prophet, we understand.”
Shangji arched his back, maintaining the posture of an inferior, “Prophet, I wonder what else we can do?”
Doranunu glanced at him, “Piety.”
The Prophet turned and walked into the temple.
The merchant planner left behind was in a cold sweat and fearful.
……
Somewhere in a shadowy underground cavern.
The oil lamp cast a dim light, illuminating five figures wrapped in black cloaks.
“Today is the promised Dark Night Gathering and the founding day of the Church of the Ember Sun.”
One of them said, “The believers should have already gathered by now to offer their faith and loyalty to the Eclipsed Sun ……”
“Now it’s all ruined.”
He said, somewhat sullenly, “The Apostolic Exorcism, there will be no one left.”
“Yao God’s power is beyond our understanding. In front of Him, the Ember Sun is nothing more than a stone on a finger that can be turned over at …… will.”
Another person said, “The Apostle powers are all extremely terrifying. Even Ecliptic Sun must avoid them, and Ecliptic Descendants are simply unable to fight against them, what should we do now?”
“……”
There was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, one man suggested, “How about …… disbanding?”
Several others cast dissatisfied gazes at him.
The proposer asked rhetorically, ”Then, do you think that you can fight against the apostles? This is only the might of one apostle, and excluding Lady Isabel, there is also the King of White Bones, Mr Fellows, and the terrifying Blood Knight …… who is an army of one, as well as Lady Sarina, who sits in the Yaocheng Shrine.”
“Lady Sarina has never made a move, but it is said that she is only now the Yao God’s chief apostle.”
“You guys tell me, how are you going to deal with their pursuit?”
“……”
No answer.
Finally they united, took off their black robes, blew out the oil lamps, and worked together to destroy the whole cave. Back in the outside world, they were again followers of the great Yao God, good citizens who obeyed the law.
On the first day of the establishment of the Ember Sun Church, it was disbanded on the same day because Isabelle went after Ember Sun.
……
Yao Cheng.
The scholars looked up at the sky and were all excited to see Isabel banish the Day of Darkness.
“Isabel-sama’s valour, it’s so elegant.”
“The all-damned Ember Sun has finally been punished by Lord Yao God. Even the sun in the sky must function according to Lord Yao God’s will!”
“Divine greatness cannot be provoked.”
“This part of Lord Isabel’s experience of holy war must be written into the latest theological canon, and it must be made known to all.”
“These thirty years of our patience and piety have gained the favour of Lord God, this is the power of faith, the grace of the gods!”
“Lord Isabel is as beautiful and dazzling as the sun ……”
In the temple, Sarina, who was watching the outside world through a mirror, paced back and forth.
Damn Isabel Ceroli, she always knew how to please!
The slyness and smiles of the past, the drollness and ignorance of the present, were all tricks she had disguised.
How is it that someone always eats that up!
Fellows silently investigated for many years, and he himself expounded to the gods, not wanting his efforts to be buried and ignored …… As a result, the most attention turned out to be Isabel.
Apart from the gods and goddesses, there is no one here who understands the danger and trickiness of the Ember Sun better than himself.
For years, she had watched the projection of the Eclipsed Star high in the sky all the time, searching all over the world for dragons through mirrors ……
Sarina looked to the [Land of Mirrors].
“Mirror, mirror, who is this noble lady who is both powerful and beautiful, who is proud of her peers but never competes for credit?”
The female tyrant tilted her chin up, “That’s right, it’s me.”
