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

Chapter 714 The Shadow of the Former Goddess of Water

The next day.

After enduring a whole night without getting her buttocks bruised, Neps finally landed and arrived at the front lines with the others.

"Ah, Uncle Lo Wei!~"

Upon seeing them, Lu Yi immediately bumped into them, and Anai Ning said with a smile, "How cunning!" and walked over as well.

I called the demon over to be her little spy plane so she wouldn't be bored. And when I saw Lillian and Marcus also coming to the front line, I knew that something similar must have happened to them last night.

Rowe glanced at Goodman, who was also there. Apart from Attana, Ahhulili, and Urs, who stayed behind in the valley, almost all of their people were there.

"How about it?"

Liya Lan seemed surprised by his arrival, her expression darkening as she spoke:
"I don't know how to explain it, you'll have to see for yourself."

Looking out from the canyon opening, the vast expanse of azure plain stretches as far as the eye can see. The cold-colored grass, swept by the strong wind, gives one an unreal, dreamlike feeling.

Luo Wei and the others did not see anything like a shadow, nor did they see any signs of heavy rain. However, there were many traces on the ground that looked like they had been through a war, though they were not very clear at this distance. There were also many boulders that had fallen from the surrounding mountains and landed on the ground outside the canyon without being cleared.

“Starting last night, an illusory army suddenly charged at us. After the soldiers on the front line set up a defensive line, the enemy was stopped by another unseen army.”

"I saw it with my own eyes before you came. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the army from twenty years ago."

Luo Wei listened and nodded.

As they approached the front lines, the view of the clouds surrounding the warships also stopped.

“I’ve received reports of such sights more frequently around the Saintess, since you’re coming from the rear, aren’t you?”

"Ah."

Lowe briefly told her what had happened last night.

Only a small core group knows about the saintess's affairs, but given Jasmine and Vimir's current state, they can hardly be considered to offer any morale boost.

It was only then that Lialan noticed Shatis and the box containing Jasmine, and her eyes widened immediately.

you--!!

You must have your reasons for doing this.

Seeing the complex changes in her expression, Luo Wei pursed his lips, and then a knight nearby shouted, "Hey! What's that!?"

Following the gaze, on the other side of the plain, in the distance, a huge, beetle-like creature appeared and disappeared, exuding an ominous, dark aura, lying on the grass as tall as half a mountain.

"This, this is?!"

Ayining, who was averse to insects, paled, while Anai Ning on the other side had already drawn her knife and was eager to try.

"Haha, it's so big, it'll definitely burst with juice if you chop it down!"

"..."

Please, don't make me imagine it.

That thing was definitely not comparable to an ordinary beetle; its bizarre appearance suggested it was at least a high-level phantom beast, and the aura emanating from its armor-like exterior was...

Just as everyone was wondering whether to go forward and attack, the huge shadow was suddenly sucked away from behind them by something. When they turned around, they saw Jasmine looking nervous in the box.

"N-nothing's wrong..." she said tremblingly, "I...I suddenly felt something from the sea coming out..."

Everyone: "..."

Is there no trace of Gui Wuhai?

Luo Wei stepped forward to check on the girl's condition. There were no obvious changes, but the effects of the erosion were definitely still there. It seemed that he would have to bring Mei Qiuli along as well.

But did Gui Wuhai also participate in the war twenty years ago?

Just then, another knight shouted from ahead, "Look! What's that over there?!"

As Rowe turned around, he saw Ulaunepsy, who was covering her mouth with both hands to indicate that she hadn't said anything.

However, when everyone looked over, right in their military camp, the heroic figure of a Valkyrie of the Temple of Storms passed by, followed by various ranks of the temple legions, heading to the battlefield with resolute expressions.

"W-what?!"

Saya turned around in surprise, and from her perspective, she saw two Marias.

The image disappeared again after a short while.

But unlike what we've seen before, this time it's clearly a physical object!

Lia Lan and the others all looked towards Maria. Apart from their attire, the figure that had just appeared was exactly the same as the angel in front of them in both appearance and temperament, appearing in the same scene in physical form.

Maria pursed her lips as she met the gaze.

My own wings are not as white as they appeared in the scene just now.

"Let's go."

"Luo Wei suddenly said."

Before anyone could understand where he meant to go, Luo Wei looked up and pointed ahead: "Didn't you notice that light has been coming out of there since just now?"

Ayining looked out over the plain and saw a stream of light forming on the horizon.

This immediately gave everyone a sense of what was about to happen.

Before he could say anything, several people took the initiative to follow. Lovely stood there helplessly, looking at their expressions as they went about their business, but unable to say anything.

I...I'm a burden, huh? You just wait!
She waved her little fists and started a riot on the spot, but of course she was also aware that she wouldn't say she would follow along and hold them back at this time.

Ugh, how awful! (▼皿▼#)

As long as I can beat you, that's all that matters! Since I'm not here, don't make excuses about having to look after her during the battle. Come back here right now!
Luo Wei glanced back halfway. They hadn't all followed at once. After all, someone had to deal with the situation in the military camp. There were Saye Maria, Anai Ning Ayining, Liya Lan, and Mena.

With Goodman and Marcus there, it wasn't really a problem. There were also Nasusha, Zena, the Dawn Church's Sword Paladin, and others. Neps and Shatis would also be watching the two saintesses. As they drew closer, the beam of light became increasingly clear.

One can see the magnificent temple manifested in the light, a spacious open-air hall with pillars, a heavy stone table in the center, and a thick red carpet on the ground.

"This is……"

Ayining asked in confusion, but Luo Wei reached out and stopped them, keeping them at a safe distance.

This is the Divine Council chamber inside the main hall of the Temple of War Gods.

The long table was now full of people, all sitting on wide, high-backed stone chairs. The scene was shrouded in light and not very clear, but both Luo Wei and Li Yalan immediately focused their attention on the beautiful figure with long, pure blue hair sitting on one of the antique chairs with her back to them.

"Varied……"

Lia Lan's voice conveyed her surprise, and Luo Wei also got a definite answer from her voice.

That's impossible.

Liya Lan's eyes had never wavered like this before, but no matter what... no matter what, she would not fail to recognize that aura, even if it was as faint as a thread.

Luo Wei reached out and stopped her.

Liya Lan grasped his arm with trembling eyes, the emotions in her eyes indescribable.

Because she is the goddess of pure water.

Sitting there... is the chief deity of the Prayer Church, a second-level deity, and the initiator of the "Salvation Tea Party"... the goddess of pure water, Altina.

Her emotional outburst was noticed by others, and Ayining glanced toward the long table, momentarily finding it unbelievable.

Is it... an entity...?
At first, no one could hear anything, but gradually, indistinct conversations began to come from the other side.

"Please... be careful... we can't... this would..."

"So this is the religion of prayer...? And yet you..."

The voice was so ethereal that it was almost impossible to hear, as if it came from another world. But more than the topic itself, the significance of this scene was unbelievable.

"This...could it be?!"

Saya was the first to react and speak, while Rowe simply looked at her and nodded.

If I'm not mistaken.

This must be a scene from a meeting held twenty years ago at the Temple of War Gods to discuss the war rituals. Those sitting there are probably all closely related to the former chief god.

"You want me to give up? That will achieve the same result you want, won't it?"

"No, this is completely different. I hope you... ...cannot yet..."

There were other speakers present, and the beautiful blue-haired figure didn't seem to be the main participant in the meeting, but Luo Wei and Li Yalan still focused all their attention on the conversation between the two sides.

The sound gradually became clearer.

"The method you proposed simply cannot prevent war," said the richly dressed, elderly man seated in the main seat. "To retire from the world now, to guide the course of the war for the next twenty years, and for each sect to train its own saintess, thus extending the timeline to twenty years later? Forgive my bluntness, but your proposal is far too idealistic and solves absolutely no problem."

"This...is a decision I have to make, but I...can't say anything about it right now."

The loneliness emanating from that beautiful figure made Liya Lan feel a pang of heartache.

Eltina, you...

"The situation has reached a point where it can no longer be decided by either side. If you were to make prophetic predictions, you should have made changes five hundred years ago, or even earlier."

"And the Church of Prayer has done nothing so far, even witnessing the birth of the Yin Spirit. I know you've emphasized its necessity, but how can something that can't be spoken of be explained? The result we've seen over these centuries is not preventing it from happening, but rather ensuring it happens. Even with your tireless efforts, hasn't it all been in vain?"

"This will definitely not be useless, I promise."

"We also believe..." the figure beside them spoke, "We've seen how much they've sacrificed all this time. It's precisely because there are always people who want to covet and rewrite fate that they have to keep patching up the holes. Their willingness to relentlessly do this speaks volumes."

"Star Silk Dina..."

"Hidden behind the stars lies their vanished history—is that not enough to illustrate the gravity of the situation? Now, the grudges that have accumulated here have ignited a great battle for the power of destiny; this demands even greater caution and attention."

Starry Night.

Luo Wei's expression darkened; that was the name of the Shepherdess of the Starry Church.

"Sigh... since you've said so."

As the discussion concluded, it appeared to be a fruitless meeting, with the Temple of War seemingly hoping to resolve the issue of the divine war in some way, while the Church of Prayer and the Church of the Stars expressed their opposition.

From their discussion, it becomes clear that long-standing grudges have made a major war inevitable, which also involves the struggle for destiny. Will the various forces and the main god let this go?
The scene shifted, and the view shifted to the starry sky above. Before Lia Lan could even react, the physical object on the ground disappeared.

And this is what happened at this moment.

Countless burning stars are pouring down on the continent—but the ground at this moment is not the world we know today.

Lowe even saw Melendall inside, and at this moment, bathed in the light of countless meteorites, was the Lion Garden Royal City, which had not yet been burned by Randall's Great Fire, and was as prosperous as ever.

"What!!?"

Not only Saya, but the others also stared in astonishment at this scene. When had the Lion Garden Royal City ever seen such a sight in the past?

Wasn't the so-called war festival just launched recently?!

"Could this be an illusion?"

This never happened in history! If something similar had happened across the entire continent before, how could no one know about it?!
As she spoke, a figure slowly materialized beside the light.

"of course it's true."

The old man, dressed in the same clothes as in the previous scene, spoke slowly.
