Chapter 331 Sun Temple
Gods cannot see mortals, just as mortals cannot see the dust under their feet.

Looking down from an altitude of 1000 to [-] meters, no trace of human activities can be seen with the naked eye. Even those bustling cities that never sleep are just a little candlelight in the night.

The cold temperature in the high altitude is far lower than the ability of human beings, so a huge crystal belt formed by 24 sun crystal prisms is surrounded outside the sky city, and it circles the city every [-] hours. The city provides heat supply throughout the day.

A traveler who once visited Sky City compared the city he saw to a spinning top. The Temple of the Sun, known as "the place closest to God", stands on the axis of the spinning top. above.Legend has it that this is the limit of human civilization's exploration of this world, and one step up from the dome of the Sun Temple can reach the real realm of God.

The decoration of the Sun Temple is not luxurious, and it is particularly low-key and simple compared to other sects of the gods, because the sun itself is already the ultimate existence in this world, and there is no need to boast in any other way.

In the empty cathedral, ethereal hymn notes were faintly floating. Three girls in white clothes knelt in front of the statue, clasped their fists on their chests, and silently recited prayers with their eyes closed.A cluster of bright sunlight fell from the dome, enveloping the three girls.As the voices of prayers in their mouths gradually increased, a layer of faint golden light appeared on the girls' bodies, and a pair of translucent white wings phantom slowly unfolded behind them.

Such a sacred scene is a memory Tiana wants to forget. She once thought that she had sealed the past in the depths of her memory, but at this moment it reappeared in her mind.

The girl sighed softly. Although everything seemed like yesterday, she knew very well that some things had completely changed, and there was no possibility of redemption.

Tiana walked into the cathedral slowly. The three girls seemed unaware of the arrival of strangers. She also did not cast her eyes on the three girls, but raised her head and quietly watched the scene of the temple. dome.

It is impossible to see with the naked eyes of ordinary people. In the sunlight pouring down from the dome, there is a golden throne suspended.The man with a long beard and a loose robe sat obliquely on the throne. He looked like a young man with the vicissitudes of time. His figure was strong but not rough. He had a perfect male body curve. His appearance Not particularly handsome, but with a unique masculine charm that can make any woman fall in love with him at a glance.He supported his chin with his hands, half-closed his eyes, and the occasional deep eyes seemed to span thousands of years.

As if he noticed Tiana's gaze, the man on the throne opened his eyes, lowered his head and smiled slightly: "Long time no see, my child."

"My lord, may your brilliance last forever." Tiana stretched out her hand to touch her chest, and bowed slightly in greeting.

From the moment she saw this man, the girl knew that this was not an illusion in her mind.

The ignorant can presumptuously speculate on the power of God, just as the frog in the well watches the sky from the well. Only those who get closer to God can understand the omnipotence of God.Even though she had abandoned her previous identity, the girl did not dare to show any disrespect to that man in her heart, because he is omniscient and omnipotent, sitting in the sky and looking down on all beings, he is one of the masters of this world, the sun God Pelor.

"I've been watching you, but you haven't responded to my call." Pei Luo said with a sigh.

As one of the most powerful main gods in this world, he didn't show his divine power in front of the girl, just like an ordinary elder, he talked about family affairs calmly.

Many people think that "God loves the world" is an idea jointly promoted by the sects of the gods, but in fact this sentence only existed at the beginning of the Bible of the line of the sun god.

The god of war desires war, the god of death needs the souls of the dead, and the god of nature prefers the wild law of survival of the fittest. The rules mastered by each god are different, and the believers and teachings are naturally different.Only the sun god is different. The sun itself cannot be regarded as a rule, it is only a part of this world.

Because of the sun, there is life in this world.

Many people know that the Sun God is the main god who is most friendly to mankind, or he is relatively friendly to most of the ground races in this world, so he can be called the guardian of this world.But only a few people know that the sun god has done more to this world than he said.

The so-called legend that the sky city is close to the kingdom of God actually refers to the kingdom of the sun god.In fact, the dome of the Sun Temple is the ladder connecting the Kingdom of God to this world.Among the many gods, only the sun god has the powerful ability to directly project to the lower realm, and what he uses is this channel connecting the two realms.

"My lord, I am already a betrayer, and I am not qualified to receive your favor." Tiana lowered her head deeply, and said with some fear.

"Aren't you regretting the choice you made?" Pei Luo asked in a deep voice.

"I was shaken, but now I have found the answer." Tiana whispered.

"Have you ever thought that if you return to my side and regain the identity you deserve, it will be easier to help those victims." Pei Luo looked at the girl and said patiently.

"I don't have the ability to help them, but I just brought them a little hope. Only human beings can save themselves, and the motivation for this kind of self-salvation is hope. This is what you once taught me." Tiana raised her head. Said sternly.

"I'm glad you can still remember these truths, but this is not your real idea. You grew up in the wind and rain outside, but you have also been polished off those beautiful edges and corners."

Pei Luo raised his finger and tapped the top of the girl's head twice, and said with a soft smile, "You know it's meaningless and unnecessary to hide it from me. I want to hear your true thoughts."

It's not that girls don't want to speak, but they don't know how to organize their own language.After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and said solemnly: "My lord, please forgive my presumptuousness, but if you have been watching me, you must have noticed the changes in the world around me. The war in the underworld has spread to In the mortal world, undead and plague are about to engulf the kingdom of Oakland. What really disturbs me is that the will of the gods in the sky has disappeared in the face of this catastrophe! Goddess of Life's chosen ones have become horrible monsters, and she does nothing about it ..."

"I know all of this, and I know the reasons behind it very well, but I can't tell you the answer now." Pei Luo took a deep look at the girl, shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "So... when you find When God is unable to protect mankind, he intends to use his own strength to save the fate of those suffering?"

"Please forgive me, but compared to sitting on my knees in the cathedral singing psalms praising you every day, and living a life of doing nothing all day without eating the sufferings of the world, this path now makes me feel that my life is more meaningful!" Tiana drummed courage to speak out loudly.

Hearing the girl's impolite words, Pei Luo didn't mean to be angry at all. Instead, he nodded in relief and said softly: "It seems that you have indeed found your own path, but don't feel guilty. You are no longer that A young seedling has grown up and turned into a big tree that shelters others from wind and rain, and I feel gratified to have a child like you."

"Don't be afraid, don't back down, stick to the path you choose, I will always watch you..."

When the last words echoed in her ears, Tiana's consciousness had already returned to her body.After a short rest, she woke up from a deep sleep and found that the self-seal hidden in her body had been untied.

The smell of mixed black tea and boiled herbs made the girl's nerves gradually recover, and she felt that she was lying on a warm hay mat with slightly bumpy wooden boards underneath.The analysis of various signs showed that this was a carriage that he was quite familiar with, and the surroundings were temporarily safe.

Although she relaxed mentally, Tiana subconsciously continued to pretend to be asleep out of the habit of vigilance she had developed before, while listening to the movement outside.She heard the slight sound of glass labware clinking against each other, as if Laurana was drumming something on her test bench.On the other side, there is the sound of paper rubbing from time to time, and the reader seems to be a genius who can see ten lines at a glance, flipping through the book quickly.

"There's nothing in this book..." She heard El say in a deliberately low voice.

"Take a look at No. 12 from the right in the sixth row of the bookshelf on the left. I remember it is "Research on the History of Civilization and Race in the Middle Ages" written by Van Dieren." Laurana's voice sounded from the other side.

"History again? Come on, don't we have a little vulgar literature about trolls here?" Al closed the book and complained sadly.

"Vulgar books? You mean the kind of novels sold on the street? Sorry, the teacher can't put that kind of thing in his bookshelf. If you have this demand, I can make a copy for you." Laura Na said sullenly, from her tone one could hear the girl's standardized commercial smile, which made people shudder.

"Okay, then the next best thing is, there will always be records about the Fallen Leaf Sword Saint?" El looked at the name of the book in his hand, and stuffed it back to its original position with a blank expression.

"Falling Leaf Sword Master? I have an impression of this. Look for it in the bottom row. There should be a copy of "Exploring the Northern Territory". I don't remember who the author is, but I have a deep impression of the content."

Laurana put down the test tube filled with the strangely colored liquid in her hand, rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "I remember Cyprus, the Sword Saint of Fallen Leaves, seems to be a... gay?"
