Noble Emblem

The old village chief left, painlessly and quietly.

The atmosphere in the village is a bit depressing. Although the old village chief has not led the village to prosperity, he is still a competent village chief. If the family has any difficulties, he will usually help. The village is not big, and everyone usually looks up and looks down, and they are quite affectionate towards each other. Suddenly someone is missing, which really makes people feel sad in their free time.

Because of his relationship with the temple, Liang Lidong personally presided over the burial ceremony of the old village chief. Although he was not a real priest, he had never seen pigs climbing trees, but he had always seen pigs walking. He is also very aware of the way the NPC priest in the game prays for the deceased to die.

The old village chief was buried on a mountain not far from the village. There is a village cemetery there. For more than two years, the old village chief had already chosen the location of his cemetery.

Kyle and another villager carried the coffin and carried the old village chief to the hillside. There were many people coming to the funeral, not only almost everyone from the village came, but also Babara, Alice, and the girl in black robe.

The three of them, plus Belin, stood beside Kyle who was in grief and lost his mind. Although everything seemed to be peaceful between them, people with keen willpower like Liang Lidong could sense that there was an undercurrent of fighting between the four of them.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”

The old village chief's black coffin had been placed in the pit. Liang Lidong held a small jar and slowly spread white salt on the coffin surface. Table salt has the effect of exorcism and can protect the body of the veteran from being affected by dark elements and other evil forces for a long time.

"Your life is perfect. Although your soul is not noble, it is enough to be admired. If you don't ask for the next life, I will pray to the god you believe in to take your soul to heaven. Old Reed, you Tell me, do you hope for the next life, or do you hope to live in the Kingdom of God forever.”

Liang Lidong seemed to be talking to an invisible soul. Everyone thought this was just a pastor's pretentious talk, but two seconds later. A huge golden disk fell from the sky. It also had a pair of golden wings. The most important thing was that it was a spirit body with a translucent body.

In everyone's surprised eyes, the golden disc stayed on the black coffin of the old village chief for a while, and then flew away into the sky with a vague young figure, and soon disappeared.

In the eyes of others who looked surprised, an old man exclaimed: "That's the young Mayor Reed!"

Everyone was in an uproar. Kyle cast his eyes on Liang Lidong in surprise. He hoped that his teacher could give him a positive answer, the answer he wanted most.

Not only him, but other villagers were also looking at Liang Lidong.

Liang Lidong nodded as expected: "Well, Old Reed was brought to live in the Kingdom of God by the goddess Woking. He has since escaped the cycle of birth, old age, illness and death, and will always be happy. Kyle, don't be too sad about Old Reed's departure. . It’s just a new beginning. If you become a true believer of Goddess Woking, then when you die, Goddess Woking will naturally take you to the Kingdom of God and reunite you with your grandfather.”

For most civilians in this world, the Kingdom of God is very far away. Although they also believe in God, they never think that they can enter and live in the Kingdom of God. But now there is a living example in front of me. The examples they saw with their own eyes made them more in awe and love for the goddess Watkin.

Positive feelings towards the temple will turn into faith. Liang Lidong's system interface constantly prompts that believers have turned into fanatic believers, and at the same time, his contribution to the temple is constantly increasing.

It's really unintentional. Liang Lidong sighed in his heart. Then he said: "Kyle, bury the coffin. Don't let your grandfather's body dry in the sun for too long."

"Okay!" After learning that his grandfather went to the Kingdom of God, Kyle immediately became excited. He picked up a shovel and started filling the pit with soil. According to the rules of this world, only relatives are qualified to fill the first shovelful of soil in the grave. If the deceased has no relatives, a priest will do it for him.

After burying the old village chief, Liang Lidong returned to the temple. He sat on the bed, raised his head and thought about the situation just now.

At the funeral, he found that he could see the soul of the old village chief, which was strange. If he could see souls, why could he kill so many people but not see any of them. Or does this have something to do with the goddess Watkin? After all, she was the one who took away the soul of the old village chief.

Or...Liang Lidong can see the souls of followers of the Goddess Wojin? After all, he is now the priest of Goddess Woking. Although he does not believe in Goddess Woking, his current position is approved by the goddess.

He was lying on the bed, still thinking about this problem, and then before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found himself on a flat golden floating platform, with a high step in front leading to Yunxiao.

What was even more surprising was that Liang Lidong saw a young man not far ahead who looked somewhat similar to Kyle. The young man stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Beta, you didn't expect to meet again so soon?"

"Old village chief?" Liang Lidong asked in a questioning tone.

The young man nodded: "It's me. Thank you very much for helping me communicate with the goddess, otherwise I, a half-hearted believer, would never be able to enter the Kingdom of God."

The old village chief was indeed a shallow believer. After the funeral, Liang Lidong still wondered why a shallow believer could enter the Kingdom of God. It turned out that this matter had something to do with him.

"The goddess is waiting for you up there. You'd better go see her as soon as possible. She asked me to tell you that she helped you realize your wish and let me go to the Kingdom of God. Now that she has something to ask you, she can't just run away like last time. Lost."

All right! Liang Lidong already knew that Goddess Wojin would not harm him, and he touched his left hand and saw that 'Tifa's wrist guard' was there. He immediately felt confident and walked up the golden sky stairs that could not be seen to the edge.

When he stepped on the stairs, he had already reached the highest floating platform before he had even walked three steps. It seemed like it only happened in a moment, but he really remembered that he walked up the stairs 130,000 times, but from his senses, he felt that it only took less than three seconds to finish walking up the 130,000 stairs.

Reason told him that it took him more than five hours to walk up the 130,000 stairs, but his body told him intuitively. Only three seconds passed in real time.

He couldn't figure out what he was feeling because it was so contradictory.

Not far in front of him, there was a high golden throne. The goddess Wojin was sitting on the altar. She looked down at Liang Lidong: "Don't be surprised about such trivial things. I'm here this time. I have something on my mind." Let you deal with it.”

Liang Lidong kept this feeling in his heart. He was already a legend in the game, so his knowledge was definitely not bad. His intuition told him that this kind of feeling might be the difference between gods and humans. If he wanted to reach the demigod realm one day, then this kind of feeling might come in handy.

"Goddess Wojin, I'm glad to see you again." Liang Lidong greeted with a smile.

Goddess Wojin waved her jade hand: "Okay, I know you are not my true believer. You only respect me in the ordinary sense, and have no fear or love, so there is no need to flatter me hypocritically. This time I will give you I just want to ask you, what do you think of the oracles sent down by the four major gods?"

"Oh, how does the goddess know that I can see the oracle beam of light?"

Waking's perfect pink lips slightly curved into a beautiful arc: "Since you can see me, you can also see the oracle. This is a matter of course. There are only two types of people who can look directly at God. One is The other kind of strong man who is half god and half human is the seeker of truth.”

"Ordinary people dare not look directly at God's Mansion. Because this will cause fatal damage to their souls. You are too weak, so you cannot be a demigod, and unbelievers cannot see the existence of God's Mansion, so you can only They are truth seekers. Truth seekers can observe all the laws of all things in the world, even gods. Their only weakness is their lack of strength."

Liang Lidong looked a little surprised: "This is the first time I heard such a statement." At the same time, he understood in his heart. Truth seekers are actually materialists, they just have a different name.

"Let's not talk about the truth seekers for now. I will explain it to you when I have the opportunity in the future." Goddess Wojin was wearing a white gold-trimmed dress at this time, which was considered a private dress. She stood up from the throne and walked one meter in front of Liang Lidong: "The four gods issued oracles at the same time. This means that the holy war is about to begin. It is difficult for our gods to interfere in the disputes between humans, so we can only choose one. Human agents to convey our will.”

"At times like this, agents are very important. Strong, smart, and wise agents are hard to find, but I think you are a qualified agent. So I plan to appoint you as my pope, Fully responsible for the expansion and spread of the Woking Cult among humans."

Waking's body smelled so good that you could smell it even from a meter away. It is not the fragrance of flowers, but a fragrance of the soul. Persian cats and Xiaobai also have this smell, but the smells of the three are different, but they all smell good.

Liang Lidong took a gentle breath, and he didn't know whether he was tasting the fragrance of Goddess Wojin, or was shocked by Goddess Wojin's words. He thought for a while and said: "But I am not your believer. It is a bit difficult for me to become your believer."

"I know that seekers of truth will not become anyone's believers." Goddess Watkin smiled, a smile that made people's hearts flutter: "But my pope does not have to be my believer, as long as he is willing to be my friend, And just be willing to develop the congregation for me. Of course, I won't let you work in vain. The better you do in your position as Pope, the more you will get in the future."

Liang Lidong was willing to believe a promise from a god, a personal promise. He is now worried that he cannot level up quickly. If he satisfies Goddess Watkin, then her gift will be converted into character experience by the system, and then he can achieve the purpose of leveling up quickly.

Liang Lidong thought quietly, while Goddess Wojin looked at him with interest from the front.

After the oracles were delivered to the four divine mansions, Goddess Wojin found him directly. He could guess what the other party's plans were. The more troubled the times, the more opportunities there are for careerists. Goddess Wojin's divine power is now almost exhausted. In peaceful times, it would be almost impossible to recover quickly. After all, the 'territory' of other gods' residences is not easy to grab.

But if the world becomes chaotic, it will be easy, fishing in troubled waters, taking millet from the fire... Now Goddess Wojin is a careerist, and her ambition is not the throne or the territory. It's about the number of believers, their divine power, and their status in heaven.

"The position of the Pope has great power and can have a lot of resources." Liang Lidong looked at the other party: "Because I am not your believer, you can't control me directly. Aren't you worried that I will use the position of the Pope for my own benefit?"

"Then you need to develop your sect to benefit yourself, right?" Goddess Wojin took two steps back with her bare feet, then she turned in a circle, and her long bright golden hair spread out in the air, shining a little. Golden light, skirts flying under her body, happy couple: "I remember you asked me last time if I can agree to you on any conditions. Now I will reply to you again, as long as you develop the sect and your strength reaches half God, then it doesn’t matter if I am your wife.”

Liang Lidong couldn't help but whistle: "For the believers, you are really willing to spend a lot of money."

"Although I am not the most beautiful goddess in heaven, I am definitely the most reasonable goddess in heaven." Wojin smiled: "For truth seekers like you, wealth and power have no influence. The only thing that can make you What moves your heart is knowledge and truth. If one day you become a demigod, your curiosity will definitely push you to develop into the divine realm. If you have my help, you will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the heavenly realm very quickly. And I I can also get a pope who I can trust and understand as my man."

"Of course, all this must be based on the premise that you must become a demigod."

Goddess Wojin is still smiling, but her smile is already a bit solemn: "And the holy war is extremely dangerous, and it is extremely difficult for you to get grain from the fire. After all, what you are facing is also selected by other gods. The strong, whether it is strength or wisdom, they must be the best choice. You should be able to see that I am very weak now, this is my last chance, and you are my last hope."

"If you succeed, I will live up to you."

After Liang Lidong woke up, these words still lingered in his ears.

If yesterday he only thought that the Holy War was very likely to happen, then after talking with Goddess Watkin, he was sure that the Holy War would definitely happen.

"Jihad!"

Liang Lidong sighed and got up from the bed. The weather outside the temple was still fine, but he already felt that the world was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

The murderous aura of gods, the lust of the human world, and the vicious aura of the evil gods of the demon world will soon come together. After the Holy War, some gods will disappear, just like the goddess Watkin disappeared.

However, Goddess Wojin was lucky. Liang Lidong helped her reopen the divine religion, which enabled her to wake up from her weak slumber.

What about the god's residence that fell during this holy war? Will they have such luck? (To be continued...)
