Late at night, after saying goodbye to Shefna and others, Mawei took Yunia, Laiwen, Daniel and Fat Orange in a carriage and returned to Tara Town.
The church was a little deserted at night. The half-built preaching hall was filled with white candles, and hot wax rolled down the candle bodies. Ailan stood alone in front of the candlestick, his back a little lonely.
The Honesty Church has been disbanded. When this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar. The believers did not understand Ailan's decision. They never expected that the God they believed in would abandon them.
Faced with overwhelming doubts, Ailan did not explain too much, but quietly accepted the rebuke and criticism from the believers.
The believers were tired of scolding and gradually left. Even the workers dropped their tools and walked away from Ailan.
"Father Marvey....am I doing the right thing?"
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Ailan asked without looking back: "I feel that I am not worthy of being a god."
"Although you were powerful before, you have reached the limit of growth, and it is difficult to make new breakthroughs." Ma Wei said: "If you cannot become a true god, you will not be able to protect your believers in the turbulence of the future. If you leave early, it will be a big mistake for you." Everyone is good."
"yes...."
Ailan sighed: "When I leave, they will also join the new church. I hope that this time, the gods they believe in will have the power to protect them."
"Has Bishop Hans been buried?"
"Well, I filled the soil for him with my own hands."
"Then let's get started."
"good."
Arriving in the backyard, Mavey took Daniel's Heimyuk ring and handed it to Alan. Then he activated the water mist and the minstrel's chant. When everything was ready...
Ailan took out the green seeds, took a deep look at Ma Wei, and when the latter nodded, he took a deep breath and swallowed the seeds.
Gudu....
Boom!
The calm night sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Green seeds began to grow rapidly in Ailan's body. The roots inserted into its flesh and blood, constantly absorbing nutrients. Ailan's face was pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As the dark clouds gradually thickened, Ailan could no longer maintain his human form. Under the gaze of Ma Wei and others, he slowly transformed into a half-human-high sunflower, with green branches and leaves swaying as if the water had been drained. withered.
Ma took Yunia back a few steps, leaving a safe enough distance, and quietly waited for Ailan's transformation.
The withered sunflowers seemed to be dead and quiet. The flower bed was drooping, exuding bursts of death. Suddenly, a wisp of black air burst out from the sunflower bed and surrounded the withered roots. At the same time...
Above the dark clouds overhead, a giant golden door slowly emerged in outline.
In distant London, at St. Paul's Cathedral, a high-pitched scream resounded across the sky: "Again?!"
Thick golden light pillars rose from the horizon, connecting the sky and the earth, the dark clouds became more violent, and the auras of countless gods suddenly rose and approached rapidly.
Squeak....
The giant golden door opened a gap, and the huge gray-blue bone hand stuck out of the door again. This time, the existence behind the door no longer wanted to come, but chose to give the majestic power of the black energy surrounding the root.
The gods who were approaching with force did not rush into the golden gate like last time. Instead, they turned around and got into Ailan's body.
Katcha.
With a crisp sound, a dark ravine opened in the sunflower bed, withered branches and leaves fell, and strong fluctuations spread out from it. The struggle began. The black energy that sprouted from the seeds started a fierce battle with the forcibly approaching gods. Fighting, each trying to drive the other out of Ailan's body completely.
"Dad, Brother Ailan's breath is getting weaker and weaker... He can't hold on any longer." Yunia asked: "Should I help him?"
Ma Wei shook his head: "Don't be impatient... This is what it must go through on its way to becoming a god. If we take action now, it will only lead to a joint attack by the golden gate and the old gods."
The water mist could not suppress the breath of battle, but the Heimyuk inherited from the Daniel family came in handy. The purple gem emitted a dazzling light, and the white recorder inside played a light music, and the chant floating behind Ma Wei The wanderer's shadow stopped playing and listened quietly to the sound from the white recorder.
A white light spot exuding the aura of Alan penetrated Heimyuk along the rhizome, avoiding the battlefield of fierce confrontation. Amidst the crackling sounds, countless cracks appeared on the withered surface of the sunflower, hinting at anger. When word of the incident spread, Ma Wei and the others didn't know what was going on inside, but one can imagine...
This battle must be very tragic.
The dazzling golden light lit up, and a holy sword of judgment suddenly appeared in mid-air. It struck down the sunflower bed like lightning, cutting off the thick black energy. The heavily damaged black energy instantly became weak and gradually fell into the disadvantage.
Another gray-blue skeletal hand poked out of the giant golden door, pointing at the withered sunflower in the distance. In an instant, the black air that had fallen to the disadvantage expanded again, launching a strong counterattack.
The war started again. Every time the Holy Sword of Judgment was struck and a section of the root was cut off, a gray-blue bone hand would poke out of the giant golden door, giving the black energy power. As it continued to be consumed, the golden light pillar rising on the horizon was no longer as bright as before. It was so bright, and the previously majestic and frightening fluctuations became a little sluggish.
The battle lasted all night. When dawn came, only a short rhizome was left in the half-human sunflower. There was no room to escape. The dark clouds hovering in the sky were like tornadoes pouring in, pouring into the final battlefield, and the decisive battle began. The moment has come.
There are no longer gray and blue bones sticking out from behind the giant golden door. In the unfathomable darkness, pairs of bright green eyes emerge, staring at the sunflower with only a small section left, as if there is something hiding behind the door, spying. Reality.
The golden laws engraved on both sides of the door began to squirm. Just as I was about to rush out, suddenly, several illusory figures appeared on the top of the half-built church. They were wrapped in cloaks and their faces could not be seen clearly. The leader pointed at the golden giant. He opened the door, slowly raised his right hand with a gold ring, and recited an obscure language.
"Boss!" The messenger immediately discovered the illusory figure standing on the top of the church: "Someone is disrupting the situation!
! "
"No, they are not here to stir up trouble..."
Ma Wei raised his head and said in a deep voice: "They are here to help us."
"What?"
"look."
Ma Wei pointed to the giant golden door in the sky. There, the wriggling Golden Law seemed to be affected by some strange influence. It was bound and unable to break free. As the leader's chanting became faster and faster, it returned to deathly silence. .
"Roar!
! "
Behind the giant golden door, there was a sad and unwilling roar. They were only one step away from success, but this step...
But it is an insurmountable chasm for them.
The black energy that lost its support fell into disadvantage in the blink of an eye. Under the constant attack of the gods of the old system, it exploded and the golden door closed again and slowly disappeared.
"It's our turn, Yunia!"
"Yes, Dad!"
Yunia closed her eyes, and all her power surged out, rushing into the Heimyuk surrounding the bottom of the rhizome. Suddenly, the white light spots hiding inside suddenly lit up, rushing into the rhizome, and unfolded with the remaining will of the gods inside. Confronted.
"On that day, the world will welcome their true creator again..."
On the top of the church, the leader waved his arms at the golden light pillar rising from the horizon. The already dull golden light pillar suddenly broke, like the sea being cut through it.
Victory and defeat are decided in an instant.
Within the short rhizome, the aura of the gods dissipated, just like the giant golden door that was about to open suddenly closed. Something blocked the arrival of the gods, and the remaining will could no longer resist Ailan.
A majestic breath of life sprouts from the rhizome, the dark clouds disperse, and a ray of sunshine shines on the earth.
When Ma Wei and the others looked up again, the illusory figures standing on the top of the church had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
"it's over...."
Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief and had to admit that he was indeed gambling.
What he was betting on was that the being behind the giant golden door could fight against the three goddesses of fate and the god of judgment, and at the same time...
There is also help from behind-the-scenes forces.
Since the other party deliberately let Ailan discover the green seeds, it means that the forces behind the scenes want him to give the seeds to Ailan. In this case...
The forces behind the scenes will definitely 'protect' them and do their best to help them.
Ailan, with only a small section of rhizome left, began to grow again. Under the expectant eyes of Ma Wei and others, Ailan grew...
A field of newly born sunflowers, only the size of a palm, dances with the sunshine.
"Ha ha ha ha!
! "
Lai Wen and Daniel couldn't stand it anymore: "After working on it for a long time, it's still a sunflower! It's not the legendary alchemy tree at all!"
The young sunflower shook a few times, as if to express its indignation.
"Alan?" Ma Wei asked tentatively.
Himawari nodded.
"Have you...become a god?"
"Dad, Brother Ailan has not become a god. I can feel that he is... weaker than before." Yunia hugged the little bear and said, "But as long as it grows up, it should be able to become a new god. It’s still in its infancy right now.”
"Need time to grow?"
"Um."
"Hell..."
Ma Wei rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He originally thought that the Church of Truth would have a strong protective umbrella, but he didn't expect that in the end there would be a young sunflower...
"Forget it, it's better than nothing." Soothing himself, Ma Wei asked: "Alan, can you move?"
The sunflower drilled into the ground, and after a while, it came out from the other side.
"It's good that you can move. Apart from this, what other abilities do you have?"
Sunflower was silent for a long time and spit out a green melon seed.
Ma Wei: "......"
"Hahahahaha!" Lai Wen and Daniel were laughing so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.
"Dad!" Yunia picked up the green melon seeds on the ground and said in surprise: "This melon seed... has the smell of godhead!"
"Huh? Will it be useful to you if you eat it?"
"Yes." Yunia gave an affirmative answer: "Although the flavor of the godhead is very weak, it can still enhance my power. As long as the quantity is enough, I can complete the qualitative change!"
Mawei rolled his eyes, squatted in front of the sunflower, grabbed its rhizome, and when Ailan shook it in annoyance, he peeled off the flower bed to see how many cucumber seeds there were.
one two three.....
Inside the flower garden, many green melon seeds are brewing. At a rough count, there are hundreds at least.
"There are quite a few..."
Ma Wei narrowed his eyes and said:
"If Ailan becomes a real god in the future, will the melon seeds it breeds also have the power to make people become gods?"
If that's the case...
The Truth Church found a treasure.
