It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 712 The Night Before Yesterday

In the last round, the battle between the four holy goddesses seemed like a preordained event.

While the Holy Maiden of Pure Wish was still trapped in the valley, the Holy Maiden of Dawn was already waging war everywhere. Although the Holy Maiden of Harp Sound suffered a defeat because of Senkamanda's matter, she later rose to prominence and became a force to be reckoned with.

Next up is the Yin God Cult, lurking in the shadows...

The past battles were undeniably brutal, and in the end, with both Randall and the Hooffire Empire turning against them, they managed to defeat the armies of the other saintesses in the ensuing chaos.

Then came the struggle between the princess and the prime minister, which ended in a draw, and the matter of repairing the Three Heavenly Rings.

The saints were forced to start wars because of the fall of their respective gods. The Church of Prayer and the Yin God Sect are obvious examples, while the Church of the Origin of All Things lost its "Mother of Origin" twenty years ago, which caused the collapse of their faith. They joined forces with the Salt Lands to seek revenge.

The fall of the supreme god was an indelible blow to all the theocratic church factions, and the saintess who inherited the phantoms left behind by the gods became the only place to place their faith.

With the Temple of War initiating the war, the major churches had no other choice but to unite and resist, with the saintess at the core.

Why is she a saint?

The reason is simple: once a saintess ascends to become a main god, her qualities will be a continuation of those of the ancient gods. Niejie can be the "Mother of Origin", the "Goddess of Salt Land", the "Goddess of Swamp", the "Goddess of Forbidden Secrets", the "Goddess of the Desert of Death", or even the "Goddess of the World Tree".

Shera can also be the "Goddess of the Underworld", the "Ancient Goddess of Otherworldly Demons", the "Goddess of Radiant Light", the "Goddess of Darkness", the "Ancestor of Blood Demons", the "Mother Goddess of Heresy", and the "Goddess of Violent Nightmares".

Vimir can also be the "Goddess of Pure Water," the "Goddess of Dawn," the "Goddess of Sunfire," the "Goddess of Supreme Law," the "Goddess of Heavenly Light," the "Goddess of Truth," the "Goddess of Celestial Music," and so on...

Even Elita.

She could also inherit titles such as "Sun Goddess Warrior" or "Dawn Warrior Goddess" and become a deity that can be worshipped in addition to the existing gods. Otherwise, why would the Sun God Cult support her?
Even if there is only one saintess, her characteristics are enough to contain the powers of multiple gods. She is a continuation of the chief god of the former church. Having inherited the power of the chief god, she can naturally become the chief god of multiple churches.

This seems to be the only option available.

Even if Sheila ate the Yin God, rather than the Yin God possessing Sheila, Chaham and the others cannot deny that the saintess there is a continuation of the Yin God. If you're so capable, find someone to replace her! Can you find someone with such legitimacy?
but.

Chaham absolutely could not accept that the main deity of the Prayer Church called himself the "Yin God," and Liya Lan absolutely could not accept that the main deity of the Yin God sect called himself the "Goddess of Pure Water."

This is an absolutely unacceptable bottom line.

For any opposing sect, this would be the greatest blasphemy and insult to their gods, but the saintess's qualities were enough to tolerate this; Vimir indeed had the qualifications to become a "goddess of the underworld."

If they don't destroy your church and kill the saint who could become a god, you don't deserve to continue living in this world.

Even the Dark Faction Church, which cooperates with Lovely, has a basic demand: to prohibit the saints of rival churches from being promoted to their main deities. I don't even want my own main deity anymore, and I can't stand seeing that the enemy is more orthodox than me.

Dividing them up is certainly one solution, since Heila has not been baptized by the Church of Prayer, making it very difficult for her to obtain power in the realm of prayer, and once she has that power, it is very difficult to transfer it.

But as I said before, why cooperate with the enemy?
The chief deity of the Sunfire Church once fought alongside the Goddess of Pure Water. The saints of the church possess some of the qualities of the Goddess of Sunfire, making them allies and no one more orthodox than this.

But can the Church of Prayer and the Yin God Cult accept sharing a single deity? Obviously not... Well, there are two saintesses, so someone has to mediate between them.

So Lo Wei got the two sides to cooperate.

only.

After Randall entered the Shadow of Melendal and stirred up the celestial phenomena, things seemed to start to change.

Pope Lovi, who aspired to godhood, was swiftly killed. Although it's unclear where Ryan is now, the current protagonist could certainly have done the same in the previous round.

This divine battle seems to be linked to some past factor. This time, they took the initiative, unlike the previous round where they were utterly defeated, and they truly routed the Temple of War. It's as if the Temple of War was defeated amidst cheers and laughter after their easy victory; their paper strength was indeed no match for theirs.

The Temple of War Gods must possess methods beyond comprehension.

Luo Wei asked the Goddess of the Azure Moon to investigate, and there was nothing unusual about the main hall of the Temple of the War God. If the previous war ceremony was indeed their doing, it was definitely not done by their own rituals.

Rather, it is something that originally remained in history.

Based on the information from Lialan, Earth Song Star, and Dorothy, it seems that everything began with some trouble encountered at the "Salvation Tea Party" eight hundred years ago, possibly related to a prophecy. If people knew about it beforehand, they would either disappear from history or be hinted at by fate, leading to an ending that must be known—

This is probably how Altina met her tragic end.

"High Priest...?"

Sheila stirred in his arms.

As night fell, Luo Wei lowered his bandaged face and met the saintess's delicate and gentle features.

"Nothing, just thinking about some things."

Chaham was getting annoyed by him after a few days of his pestering. He probably didn't understand why a saintly guardian like him wasn't staying by the saint's side and was bothering him, a saint, every day.

Luo Wei wasn't just entangled with one saint.

Although Sheila could make all the decisions on this matter by herself, it was necessary to reveal some information appropriately. Rowe didn't want them to be caught off guard and unable to react when the situation became critical.

"Then... if you can't sleep, you can hold me while you sleep..." Sheila's voice grew softer and softer.

"..."

Was it destined?

This divine war did not take into account the will of the saintesses themselves. They did not have many choices given their circumstances. Even though Vimir broke with the Church of Prayer in the previous round, they still fought this war.

This time, however, Vimir became a saint through her own path, and Sheila broke free from the control of the Yin God's flesh and blood. Jasmine was rescued from the ground by him.

And Elita and Nege...

In fact, he had a vague idea of ​​what the Temple of War was planning.

However, this would create two opposing camps: the Temple of War Gods and the Holy Maiden of Dawn.

……

Halfway along the path from the royal city of Melendale to the northern border, there lies a vast, azure plain surrounded by natural mountains. Due to its unique location, it can only be passed through gaps between the mountains. Under the constant pressure of strong winds, only the cool-season grasses of the north survive, robbing other plants of their nutrients, creating a cold, bluish-green landscape, hence the name "Azure Corridor".

Spreading her wings, Saya passed through the gap in the canyon on the south side and landed in her own busy military camp, where she saw the knights and church allied forces urgently building fortifications.

"How about it?"

"Just like us, they are consolidating their defenses in preparation for war."

They were to the south, while Xiaoguang Saintess's army was behind the canyon gap on the north side, a distance of seventy or eighty kilometers between them.

It appears that the Temple of War has deployed all its troops here.

They also temporarily assembled an army of 120,000 by drawing troops from elsewhere. Once they reached this number, the war was no longer simply about bringing the troops to the battlefield. The logistics on both sides far exceeded this number, and building lines, securing supply routes, and having scouts gather intelligence became the top priorities.

Only by getting things in order can we have the qualifications to win battles.

“I can sense their gazes from within the enemy camp,” Saya said coldly after folding her wings.

"Yeah……"

Nasuxia and Ayining, who had also arrived on the battlefield, exchanged a glance.

Given their perceived distance, it would be difficult for a typical level three god to notice Saya's aerial probing.

"It seems the enemy has indeed sent their main force here."

The speaker was Zena Heniki, the lord of Tide City. After the war intensified, many allied leaders also brought their main forces to join the battlefield, even though they had previously fought in different war zones.

In Saya's view, this was a difficult person to deal with, just like the Queen of Trachoma, who inexplicably also had the title of Lord of one of the seven independent cities on the continent.

Just like that jerk who disappeared without a trace.

“The situation we are facing now,” Ayi said solemnly, “is about when the enemy will take any initiative.”

It's a good thing that more and more well-known experts and leaders are gathering here.

However, recently, rumors of "ghostly figures" have been circulating in the military camp.

They said they suddenly saw shadowy figures around them, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. This wasn't just happening on the battlefield; similar sightings were reported in Melendall and other parts of the continent. Maria also said she saw them.

“Maria?” Saya looked at Maria, who seemed a little lost in thought.

"what……"

Maria was clearly a little distracted. She paused for a moment after Saya called her name before snapping out of her reverie.

To avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings in the military camp, she basically never spread her wings.

“Saya…” she said, her expression turning serious. “These past few days… I seem to have remembered something.”

"Really, really?"

"I seem to have forgotten something after being corrupted by the black fire thirty years ago, but it also seems that... at that time, I knew that I would participate in the God War ten years later."

"what?"

Maria touched her forehead and nodded at her.

She didn't quite understand why this was happening. Rather than her mind being in a state of confusion, it was more accurate to say that some things were simply difficult to recall if she tried to force them back to her mind.

Even now, when I see things from my past twenty years ago, I still doubt whether I'm seeing things.

“Those phantoms…” Nasuxia hesitated.

"Did you see it too?"

“No, I didn’t,” Nasuxia rubbed her chin. This was the frontline defense line, with the main force in the rear personally commanded by Liya Lan. The rest of them were just here to check on the situation and would return by evening. They couldn’t let important figures be exposed to the enemy’s intelligence network like this. “What I meant was, although it’s normal to have more sightings here than in other parts of the continent due to the dense population, this plain, this ‘Azure Corridor,’ shouldn’t have been some strange ancient battlefield in the past, right?”

The Land of Gold is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from here, and she doesn't know much about the history of the Lion Garden.

“No,” Ayining replied affirmatively.

Although it was her stinky brother's idea to prevent them from being exposed to unexpected situations at the front line, saying that if anything happened, they should wait for him to come over and talk about it, he didn't want them to face any sudden personal matters and stopped pretending.

But Lovely and Lillian would not allow the front lines to deploy troops on the ceremonial field and fall right into the enemy's trap.

“In the past, Lion Garden has defended against many battles, both large and small, but they were all kingdom conflicts that did not involve the gods,” she explained. “The war of the gods twenty years ago also had nothing to do with this place.”

"Is this so..."

However, even though they said that, they could still see something, because there was another reason for confirming this.

That is, such ghostly phenomena also occur frequently in the Valley of Weeping.

Although they didn't witness it firsthand, many orcs and caravans saw it, and considering what the two had in common, the answer is actually quite obvious.

Saint.

These fleeting glimpses of the past occurred even more frequently in the places where the saintess had appeared.

Vimir: "..."

In the underground chapel of the amusement park, Shatis saw the girl's eyelids twitch slightly on the bed. She looked up at the skylight and realized that tonight—

Neither the blue moon nor the red moon rose.
