Surprised me into a goddess of light

Compared with the archbishops of the other three temples, Darwin looked quite young, wearing a cardinal robe, neat black hair, soft and modest features, he looked only in his twenties... In fact, he was indeed the most The young one, who was promoted to the fourth rank five years ago, is just 37 years old this year.

Before Darwin was promoted to the fourth rank, there was no real fourth rank in the Western Temple, and the archbishop was only a peak third rank... His father Charles was in charge, and after Darwin was promoted to the fourth rank, Charles also let it go Abdicate naturally and let Darwin, the real great sage of light, be the Archbishop.

All the priests parted the way, and Darwin walked towards me with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, you are the goddess' consort, Miss Helen Eve, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, Great Sage Darwin."

I shook his hand politely, feeling that this great sage has a very peaceful demeanor... similar to that of his peers, probably related to his age.

"I heard that the Goddess Crown issued an oracle to form a force called 'Light of the Dawn' to select the apostles of light from the four temples?"

The two entered the temple after exchanging pleasantries, and soon got to the point. Darwin smiled and said, "I don't know what aspects Miss God's Family uses to measure the confidence of the priests and use it as a criterion for judging the candidates for apostles. Can you give me some indicators first?" ? This is also convenient for me to cooperate with you in screening people."

"It's not me who judges, it's the goddess who judges the apostle candidates."

I corrected a sentence and continued: "Actually, there are no specific criteria, but there are a few basic prerequisites. It must be a person with sincerity, good character, no bad deeds, and outstanding natural abilities. Only those who meet these conditions can easily complete the goddess. The task of descending."

"I see."

Darwin smiled and said, "Miss God's Family, do you think I meet these requirements? Is there any hope of becoming a member of the Apostles of Light?"

"Of course there is hope."

I looked Darwin up and down a few times: "As the archbishop of the Western Temple, you must meet the requirements in terms of character and ability, but the selection of the goddess will also consider the apostle's own situation. You have the Western Temple to lead, and the four major temples belong to the God of Light. From a certain point of view, the basic disk is more important than the 'Light of the Morning Sun', so the goddess may leave the opportunity to others..."

Darwin said: "I and other mortals can't figure out the will of the goddess, but I personally think that it is more appropriate for me to leave the temple than the Church of Light that manages the Western temple."

"The West Temple is not like the South and North Temples, which need to deal with Alexander and the Feline Empire respectively, nor does it need to deal with the disputes of dozens of small countries in the Eastern Continent like the East Temple, such as Alexander the Great's Northern Expedition, Eastern Expedition, and the distance between the wars. The Western Temple is very far away... It is far away from the world, and the only people who need to be handed over are the elves and dwarves, and the days are quite leisurely."

"Miss God's Family, you should have noticed just now that many of the priests here are not humans, but elves and dwarves. Most of them are gentle and rarely have conflicts."

I grunted. From the time I entered the temple just now, I discovered that human beings accounted for less than half of the priests in the West Temple. This is unimaginable in other temples...

Darwin put his hands behind his back and said with a sigh: "Since I entered the fourth rank, I haven't even made a move. I stay in the temple all day long to practice prayers and deal with some simple chores. I feel that the meaning is very small."

I said: "Under your governance, the West Temple is well-organized, and it is not easy to do simple things well."

Darwin shook his head and said, "Many people can do this kind of thing. The adjudication, the oracle priest, including my father can definitely do better than me."

I noticed that he was in the mood of 'unrecognized talent, wanting to do great things', and said: "Maybe the goddess will let you become an apostle, and go to Valoran to complete the task of the light of the morning light."

"hope so."

Darwin smiled, and suddenly said: "If this is the case, will the goddess meet me in person? How can I know the will of the goddess? It is said that you are the closest relative of the goddess, can you tell me something? Questions about this?"

"If the goddess really chooses you, you will know when the time comes. I am just an ordinary believer who is blessed by the goddess. It is useless for you to ask me."

I said lightly, I feel that compared to other great sages, Darwin is not so talkative, he cares more about his own will, or is he more smokey? .

He has a passionate heart, but he doesn't have the fanatical belief that he will completely obey the goddess' arrangement and give everything for the church... According to Winnie, his belief is not 'pious' enough.

If you think about it carefully, a high-ranking archbishop may not be more devout than ordinary believers... The more you know, the more sober you will be. For example, it is impossible for someone like Samuel to believe in the God of Darkness.

It would be great if I have the ability to perceive the "devotion" of believers, so that I can directly screen the apostle candidates...

I thought about it silently, and I was going to find my own people in the Dongguang Temple: the high priest of Novia to inquire about the situation. She came a few days earlier than Lucy Ruth and me, and knew more about the West Temple.

However, just as I said goodbye to Darwin and was about to turn around, I suddenly saw a clear and faint pure white light shining on him.

In the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, there was a strong throbbing from the Guangming Godhead linked to the seal emblem of the Sea of ​​Lighting God.

It seems to be aware of my idea of ​​perceiving piety, so, from the ability beyond the spiritual space/consciousness sea, which seems to be a higher dimensional level, it will show and feedback the "piety" of all believers to me.

A god-like, fifth-order ability...

My eyes were slightly distracted, and I saw that all the priests in the Western Temple except Darwin were shining with white light of different shades. From the perspective of a higher-dimensional world, my perception spread quickly, beyond the Western Temple, The Western Continent, covering the entire Valoran, is still spreading outwards endlessly...

At this moment, I clearly saw the three great sages of light other than Darwin, including the hermit Felix, Lan Ruisha, and Yue Ying, all glowing with golden light, and a piece of belief information originating from the light godhead also It came to mind naturally.

755

Images of saints shrouded in golden light flashed in my mind.

At this moment, I have already connected to the divine power of light, sensed the existence of all light believers in Valoran, and was able to observe the real-time scene of the 'golden believers' with my own eyes.

These believers are not only human beings, but also elves, dwarves, dark blood races, giant dragons, orcs... and many races I don't understand, and even some intelligent monsters are believers who serve the light. The total number reaches a terrifying tens of billions. Comparable to the total number of humans in Blue Star in my previous life!

This is also reasonable. With the size of the planet Noah, the area of ​​just one continental plate of Valoran exceeds the sum of the seven continents in the previous life. The number of races is naturally many.

Correspondingly, in the information, the piety of all believers is also displayed one by one.

Every believer exudes pure white light. The more intense the light, the higher the devotion to the light belief. There are five levels in total, namely: light believer, true believer, devout believer, fanatic, and extremely rare , [Saints] of golden light!

In fact, the level of fanatics already means that they are very pious, and they can put the belief in light above life. They are not afraid of any hardships and hardships, and are willing to die for the goddess of light. There are only about a thousand percent of this type of believers in the total number of believers. one.

However, compared to the huge number of believers of the Goddess of Light, there are already tens of millions of fanatic believers, and the largest number are superficial believers and true believers, accounting for 70% of the total, while devout believers account for nearly 30%.. .

Finally, the reason why golden [saints] are said to be extremely rare is because according to my perceptual statistics just now, among the tens of billions of believers of the Goddess of Light, there are only a handful of 113 people who can reach the level of saints.

[Saints] level, representing the reverence for the Goddess of Light surpasses everything else, regards light as the highest pursuit of life, the ultimate meaning of self-life and truth, and will never abandon their faith. They have the closest relationship with the gods and can be recognized The gods watch at any time, communicate with the gods at any time, accept the power of the gods, realize the "god descending" and so on...

The most important thing is that as long as the saints pray spiritually, they will give feedback to the gods, continuously providing [Power of Faith] that far exceeds the level of other believers!

This is the information I just learned from the news. The so-called [Power of Faith] is a power that can only be used by gods. It can achieve almost all effects related to the priesthood, such as enlightening and transforming believers. It is a god. One of the important measures of whether it is strong or not.

The reason why I say 'one' is that although faith can feed back the godhead and strengthen the power of the gods, the gods do not have to be believed.

Even if a certain god doesn't have a believer in the whole universe, it doesn't affect his endless lifespan and powerful fifth-order strength. At best, belief is just an 'icing on the cake'.

Of course, it's not completely useless.

If a certain god is killed by other gods, and the godhead is stripped and destroyed, as long as there are still believers who recite his real name and help him accumulate the power of faith, after so many years, he can still use the power of faith to resuscitate, restore the godhead, and slowly recover strength.

And if none of the believers remember Him... if it's cold, it's really cold.

Faith is immortal, God is the real eternal life.

Therefore, the relationship between faith and gods is very subtle, a bit analogous to power and wealth for human beings. Although it is not necessary, most gods will still have disputes in order to rob belief resources.

The battle of gods for belief... Could this be the reason why the era of the gods fell and the gods disappeared?

As I pondered, I suddenly realized a very frightening thing: Since there are still so many people who believe in the Goddess of Light and chant Helena's real name, how could it be possible for her to fall completely?

Moreover, Helena is not the only real name that is circulated in the Valoran continent...

The god of water, Bingyi, the god of thunder, Hubert, the god of fire, Themis and other seven elemental gods, as well as the god of war, Athos, the god of sea, Haier, the goddess of wisdom, Flodi, including the god of life and nature, Uktrasil, etc. It has always been chanted all over Valoran, but it is not as prosperous as the Light God Sect.

Could it be that these gods are not completely dead, so why are they all gone now?Or is it that the power of faith required for recovery is too much, and none of them have enough?

At least, with the spread of the Light God Sect, Helena's power of faith should be enough, right?

The power of faith is stored in the godhead, which can only be used at the fifth level. I can't touch it for the time being, but I don't need to think about it. There must be an unimaginable power of faith stored in the light godhead, but Helena's will has never awakened ...

I pondered for a long time, because I didn't know enough about the gods, I still couldn't figure out why, and the heavenly book would not answer my questions about the gods, so I could only put it aside for a while and solve the problem of choosing the apostle of light first.

In the vision of the golden saints, the three Bright Archbishops, Felix, Lanrisa, and Moon Shadow are all one of the [Saints]. No, it's just a relatively common [pious believer].

By the way, Lucy Ruth's judgment has also reached the level of fanatics.

Currently, there are 8 [saints] in the West Temple. According to my vision, one of them is the former Archbishop Charles, and I don’t know the other 7.

After linking to the divine power, the vision of the golden saints allows me to see what the [saints] look like and what they are doing at any time, and perceive their inner thoughts to a certain extent, but I cannot directly get their specific information.

As for the lower-level believers, the connection is weaker. At the level of shallow believers, they can only barely sense their existence.

It's not too much trouble, though.

"Great Sage Darwin, please inform the priests of the West Temple to gather in the square."

I directly asked Darwin to gather everyone together, watching the vision of the saints while waiting for the priests to gather.

About half an hour later, more than tens of thousands of priests put down their work and temporarily gathered in the square. For a while, the huge square was crowded with people everywhere.

I linked to the divine power of light again, compared the vision of the saints, walked into the sea of ​​people, found the saints one by one, and asked for their names.

Including Charles, 8 of the 5 saints have gray hair and are quite old. In this case, I don't want them to travel around and tire.

In the end, only 3 saints were selected by me and secretly designated as the Apostles of Light. Coincidentally, none of the 3 saints were human beings.

One is a male dwarf named Capru, and two female elves named Faier and Emma... Both of them are also over 200 years old, but they are just young for the elves.

The selection method is also very simple. For [Saints], I can complete operations such as granting power, chatting remotely, dreaming, etc. in the goddess state, and it is not too late to call them all together after they go back.

Summon all the priests at once, mainly to identify ordinary members of the Dawning Light.

According to the standards of pious believers, I recorded the priests of the appropriate age and status in the West Temple, and recorded them in Lucy Ruth's magic message machine, and prepared to let them follow the Apostle of Light.

756

In the evening of the Twelve Apostles, all the qualified priest candidates of the Western Temple were entered into the Moxun machine by me. There were about a thousand people, and the list was also handed over to Darwin.

After the basic members have been determined, the next step is the candidates for the Twelve Apostles of Light. Apart from the already established Moon Shadow, Lan Ruisha, and Lucy Ruth, there are still 8 places.

I found a secluded corner in the temple, let Lucy Ruth guard it, and then connected to the power of light, intending to use the connection between the saints and the faith of light to directly establish the last eight apostles.

Closing his eyes, a golden light appeared in front of his eyes again, and countless indistinct prayers sounded in his ears.

113 saints including Mr. Daniel and the great sage Lan Ruisha turned into 113 golden silhouettes, each of which was inlaid in front of the field of vision like a holographic projection...

I observed these saints, most of them were priests, priests, and even archbishops of the Temple of Light, but a few were not members of the temple.

Personal strength and status are not the decisive factors for piety. Except for priests who have been influenced by the church all the year round, most professions will not affect a person's piety level. Even ordinary craftsmen and civilians who have not practiced before may rely on their love for light. Becoming a [saint] is just very rare.

It's the first time to try, it's better to choose an acquaintance...

I thought for a while, stretched out my finger, and clicked on the golden light and shadow of Lan Ruisha.

......

In the Beiguang Temple, in the high priest's office room, a girl in pure white sacrificial attire was leaning over the case, reviewing the list.

After learning of the Goddess' will to choose the Twelve Apostles, Archbishop Alfred cooperated very much and handed over all the priest information of the Northern Light Temple to Lan Ruisa, and also gave her the privilege of summoning at any time and entering and leaving the temple at will, so as to facilitate the formation 'Morning Light' forces.

However, reviewers themselves are also a long and complicated job.

Lan Ruisha consults the information of thousands of priests every day, and meets some of them in person. Today, she can judge that some priests are qualified enough to be members of the 'Light of the Morning', but she cannot determine which one is the most suitable one. The bright apostle of the goddess' heart...

"It would be great if Her Majesty the Goddess could bestow some enlightenment."

Lan Ruisha whispered to herself, closed the priest information, added a few names on the note, and was about to call someone over, but saw a pure and warm golden light suddenly burst out in front of her eyes, enveloping herself.

The gentle power surged, making her heart involuntarily quiet down, feeling that a certain incomparably great and noble gaze was watching her.

Lan Ruisha was taken aback, and looked around nervously, but saw nothing. Everything on the desk was as usual, but it was coated with a layer of golden brilliance by the light on her body.

She gradually realized what had happened, and whispered nervously and respectfully: "Your Majesty, is it your will?"

"Don't panic, Ranrisa."

An ethereal and sacred voice sounded from the bottom of her heart: "It is indeed the god, this is an attempt by the god."

"try?"

Lan Ruisha repeated the word in doubt. This was the first time she felt the existence of the goddess alone and truly, and found that the goddess was more friendly and approachable than expected... Maybe it was because she was already an apostle of light.

"That's right, Apostle Lan Ruisha, the God will select the last 8 apostles in the West, South and North Temples tonight. You will know who they are at that time..."

The sacred voice gradually drifted away, and the golden light around Lan Ruisha gradually faded away.

Only then did she belatedly bow to the departed 'Goddess Gaze', with a burst of relief and joy in her heart.

......

I withdrew my finger from touching the light and shadow, and roughly figured out the way to connect with the saints. In fact, I don’t need to touch them with my own hands, as long as there is a divine power medium to touch them, and it can even cross a very long distance and exert divine power on them. There is only a certain loss.

"It's quite convenient."

I smiled slightly, mobilized the divine power of light, and linked all the 113 existing saints into it.

"77 of Light, Goddess Blessing."

All of a sudden, all the believers whose piety reached the level of saints in all parts of Valoran felt a strong touch in their hearts, and a holy and powerful force was gradually transmitted to them.

This link, of course, does not include them all as the Apostles of Light. After all, there are too many people. For other gods, there may only be one or two rare saints who are regarded as "treasures". For me, they are enough to form several saints classes.. .

Although the effect of the Goddess Blessing is powerful, it can no longer achieve the effect of awakening the sacred blazing body after the loss of the remote arrival. My operation is just to improve the physical fitness of these devout saints.

Many of them are quite old and their strength is average. After receiving blessings, they can at least prolong their lifespan and cure all diseases. This is a very important help for most elderly people.

In the picture, the saints who received the blessing technique were all aware of the changes in their bodies after a burst of nervousness and panic, and kneeled on the ground gratefully. Many old people burst into tears with excitement. After all, it was the first time they really felt the will of the gods. Such as life expectancy to be promised.

Probably only those who have believed in the same belief for many years, or who have been paralyzed in a hospital bed for many years, can understand their joy of seeing the light...

I blessed with my divine power for 3 minutes, carefully screened the candidates who fit the age and strength, and finally identified two saints in the North Temple and South Temple, and three elves and dwarves in the West Temple, and passed a sentence to them respectively.

"From today onwards, you are the fifth (sixth, seventh...eleventh) apostle of light. Go to Lan Ruisha (Moon Shadow/Eve), and she will arrange tasks for you."

With this sentence, coupled with the effect of blessing, Lan Ruisha and the others will understand.
