Chapter 271: Turmoil
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As the floating castle was travelling among the stars, without careful observation, no one could perceive the difference between it and the stars. Also, the floating castle was much larger than it had been before. It had really become a city in the sky.
Its bottom base was made entirely of metal and was covered with forests and fertile soil. A transparent glass covered the upper part of the floating city, separating it from the outside. As such, it was like a totally independent world.
At the moment, the city was covered in darkness, with only a few stars shining over the forests and buildings. Within the city, many small rivers flowed , and animals and insects could be seen in the city’s nearby jungle.
Bang!
As Lu Zhiyu snapped his fingers, the atmosphere changed immediately from darkness to light. A flaming red sun that was similar to the one in the outside world then gradually arose. Warm sunshine shone on all of the plants and the animals in the floating city, and there were white clouds in the sky.
“Inside the floating city, we already have everything we need. Even if we travel in the astral or across the bitwalls, we will be fine. This floating city is really independent!” Lu Zhiyu said.
He then added, “As Maria’s World has more contact with the sky, as time goes on, they will one day gradually explore the entire space, even the bitwall and the stars!”
Lu Zhiyu stretched out, appreciating the beautiful scenery of the floating city. He then took a deep breath, sensing the freshness of the air. Eva then stretched out her finger, causing the season to change from spring to summer.
In the floating city, the most noticeable features were five huge, ancient trees. Lu Zhiyu had designed them after the Ancient War Tree. He named them Fairy Trees, and during his designing session, he had incorporated some ideas from the elves about the power of belief.
Every Fairy Tree was a level four divine creature, which meant that each one was capable of creating witchcraft boundaries and also had part of the biological imitation ability of the Ancient War Tree. Most importantly, each Fairy Tree could produce fairies!
These fairies were only a dozen centimeters in size, but they were human-like in shape. However, they were still somewhat similar to demons in appearance. They were a rare type of divine creature, half real and half virtual.
The fairies and Fairy Trees were like believers and gods. The stronger the tree was, the more fairies would be born from it, and the more powerful the fairy family would become. The larger the fairy population became, the greater the faith power and the more powerful the Fairy Tree would be.
But, once fairies weakened and disappeared, the power of the Fairy Tree would also weaken. This was a perfect example of symbiosis and coexistence.
Eva watched Lu Zhiyu lying on the lawn, then went and sat down near him. They both looked at the forest land below the hillside. On top of the hill, they could see their residence where they lived, as well as the main access road to the buildings at the bottom of the floating city.
At the moment, hundreds of fairies were shuttling among the flowers and grasses in the forest, helping Lu Zhiyu to maintain the beauty of the floating city. All along the hillside, flowers were blooming and green trees were growing.
Several fairies with transparent wings leaned forward and quietly looked at Lu Zhiyu. They were shy and looked at him with awe. When Lu Zhiyu saw them, they immediately dispersed!
“Ah! God found us!” one of the fairies exclaimed in surprise. Then, all of the fairies, each wearing green leaves as clothes, fluttered their wings and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As she could see some embarrassment on Lu Zhiyu’s face, Eva snickered at him. After all, only Eva was close to the fairies.
As such, the fairies liked to play around with her. Eva really liked these little creatures very much. But, every time Lu Zhiyu approached, the fairies would flee in a hurry, as if they had seen some horrible ghost.
“Five Fairy Trees are still not enough. They can barely cover the floating city!” Eva said.
She was currently in charge of overseeing the structure, scenery, and management of the floating city. Lu Zhiyu wanted to let her run this city completely because Eva was unwilling to become a god.
“When the trees continues to grow and there are more fairies, these five trees will eventually be able to cover the whole floating city via projection witchcraft. Then, they will be an important guarding force for the floating city.” Lu Zhuiyu explained to Eva.
Eva looked at Lu Zhiyu and asked doubtfully, “Master, what is written on that scroll?”
He quickly replied, “It outlines the way to become a god! I simplified the way of becoming a God into a few steps. After all, it’s not easy to become a god, and I can’t explain all of the steps from the beginning to the end. As the thrones have all been arranged in the Divine Kingdom, the rest depends on their own initiatives now!”
——————
As the stars appeared in the sky, people were able to see the Divine Kingdom. The Alen Continent started to organize great ceremonies. In particular, several religious groups held grand celebrations in an attempt to communicate with the gods.
At this moment, everyone felt a huge pressure in their hearts. Although it was not clear what had happened, everyone felt that the world had changed dramatically. This change might even be unprecedented, but what had caused such a change was not clear.
“The Pope is still in the Temple of Light! Has the oracle been given yet?” A priest asked.
The Church of Light, which had just annexed nearly one-third of the central province, reached its peak with a surge in strength. The third-generation Pope, Armenia, had been described as having comparable merits to the first-generation Pope Hodap. His prestige in the Church of Light had soared to the degree that almost all of the followers were under his command.
At this moment, the ambitious pope was kneeling under the statue of the god, trembling and sweating. He was holding a grand ceremony to ask the gods to give him an oracle!
God did not give the oracle himself, but an angel of the Divine Kingdom came to deliver the oracle. All of the people saw a shiny light falling from the sky, then covering the entire Temple of Light.
After that, numerous white streams of light shot from a saintess’ body, glowing throughout the temple. The saintess gave the oracle in the name of the angel.
“Someone wants the power of god!” Several simple words of the saintess revealed a lot of information.
All of the priests present felt a sudden boom, like an explosion had just gone off in their heads. They thought of the rumors that had been circulated in the Alen mainland recently, which made them uneasy.
“Evil!”
“Find him! We must find the one who stained god’s holy power and send him to hell!”
“Unforgivable!”
The message from god immediately drove the priests of the Church of Light into a state of complete madness. Everyone wanted to find the guy. Nothing was more hateful to the The Church of Light than this evil!
This message spread from St. Sarl City, where the Kingdom of the Church of Light was located, out into all of the other kingdoms. Although the Church of Light, the Faith of the Sun, and the heavenly palace were desperately trying to cover up the news, it still spread like wildfire.
Now, kings and nobles and wizards from every kingdom, and even some evil creatures that were hidden in the dark, were all stirred up. This explosive message caused everyone to be on the lookout for this fellow who had made the gods so angry.
