Myth: The Ruler of Spirituality

Chapter 675 - 237: Inspiration and Understanding

Ding——

Ding ding dang——

Woo——

...

Within the solemn and majestic Temple, bells, drumbeats, and the melody of oboes played in harmony.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous musicians and devotees, Kasim danced the ritual dance for summoning the Deity, calling for the descent of La’s Wisdom.

"..."

"...Your Light illuminates every face, yet no one knows; through thousands and tens of thousands of years, you are the fervent source of new Life..."

"..."

"...The truth of language, the peace of the heart, come forth to sip from your Light; for you are yesterday, today, also tomorrow..."

"..."

"Praise you, La Deity, you awaken Life from its slumber! You rise, shine, and display your glorious visage."

"Millennia have passed, we cannot count them all; millennia will come, and your Light will shine eternal!"

The ancient poem, a depiction of the dead’s devout praises to the Sun, transmitted in the rituals of the ’Undead Book.’

Under the sacred melody, in the heart of the Temple, a cocoon of Light became clearer and more transparent.

It had originally been a statue of a Deity brought here, having been worshipped in Thoth’s Temple for a thousand years. But now, it had been placed at the core of the ceremony, about to undertake the descent of the Deity’s will.

Crack...

Crack crack——

"Your task is over, Kasim, I do not need your service. Go and do what you must, and when the gods achieve Victory, you shall receive a reward beyond imagining,"

"Through the years that have passed, the Monarchs of the Mortal Realm have built lofty Golden Towers for themselves, vainly seeking the care of the God of the Dead to accomplish the miracle of Resurrection, but most of them are deluded. However, with the achievements you have made, perhaps you deserve such a reward,"

Speaking indifferently, Thoth walked out of the Temple.

His gaze drifted towards the city walls, as if sensing the presence lingering there.

Isis, his target for this mission, was also the one among the Nine Pillar Gods he found the most enigmatic.

Among the gods, she was the Guardian of natural life and Magic; among mortals, she was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the oppressed, and also listened to the prayers of the rich, maidens, Aristocrats, and rulers.

No one knew what was in her mind. In fact, until the day La Deity suddenly declared her guilty, Thoth did not think Isis would just stand by idly. Soon after, news of her death came, and only when Magic’s power fell into his hands, did he somewhat incredulously accept this reality.

But now it seemed that everything was just her ruse; she had already made her choice long ago.

Whoosh——

Without hesitation, Thoth soared into the sky; he had no intention of harming La Deity’s palace.

Since touching the power of Magic, Thoth had uncovered many secrets he hadn’t noticed before, yet he had only been in control for a thousand years.

Now Thoth was going to intercept Isis, but if possible, he also wanted to learn something else from her.

"Praise La Deity, praise the mind of the god,"

Following Thoth’s departing figure, Kasim murmured a tribute to the Deity.

While the devout devotees knelt in prayer, expressing their devotion in their own ways.

But just then, at Kasim’s side, his well-known apprentice Aibu looked around at the devout devotees and stepped forward to ask in a low voice:

"High Priest, what shall we do next?"

"What else can we do but spread the glory of Deity to the devotees, tell them that the current disasters are because the gods are battling the evil enemy, and that the gods will surely be victorious? What could be the problem with that?"
