Versatile Mage: Summoning Black Dragon, the pinnacle of divine power

Chapter 242 I Choose the Divine Soul

……

"I hope your actions today weren't just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

After settling in all the guests for the evening, the Queen Mother approached Caesar.

“I know you don’t like Azharia, but you don’t have to go so far as to target me as well, do you?” Caesar said.

The lady-in-waiting paused for a moment, then asked, "When did you find out?"

“The Turs family has been living in seclusion for so many years. That banquet was clearly our own, and no one invited Turs. How could he have arrived at that exact moment by such coincidence?” Caesar said.

Turs was invited by the Queen Mother because she knew that Turs was very interested in Asha's.

Moreover, Asha's reputation has indeed been quite bad over the years. Not only are there rumors within the temple that she got to her position by sleeping with the god's son, but even her supporters were allegedly seduced through dishonorable means.

The Queen Mother knows him well. Over the years, his relationship with Asha's Ruya has always been complicated. If there is any more conflict or misunderstanding, given Asha's Ruya's personality, she will definitely not explain to him, but will continue to cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, the Queen Mother wants to use Turs to get rid of Asha's Ya.

“I don’t understand why, even now, you still treat me like a child and try to control me?” Caesar said.

"Yizhisha used to be so controlling of me, but now she's changed her attitude and supports my actions. Why are you still the same as before?"

"I thought you were the one who supported me the most, but it turns out you were the most stubborn one."

“You are too young and don’t know how to handle these issues,” the matriarch said.

"I'm planning the best future for you."

"The best? Is this your reason for outwardly supporting Eileen while actually trying to pair me up with Ye Xinxia?" Caesar said.

"..."

After a long silence, the temple matriarch slowly raised her head. "She is the true possessor of the divine soul, and the only person in thousands of years to be actively chosen by the divine soul. She is the destined goddess, and you are the divine son. You two are destined to be the most perfect couple!"

"Only with you all together can the temple..."

“That’s just wishful thinking on your part,” Caesar interrupted.

"I always thought that Izusa had the strongest desire for control, but now I realize that you are even more excessive than her!"

"No matter how much she controls me, at least she respects my choices. But you, you seem to dote on me, but in reality you don't care about my choices at all."

Even now, you still don't believe me.

Everything Yizhisha did was to give him a powerful temple, and she hoped that he would rule the temple in the future.

But the Queen Mother, from beginning to end, supported Ye Xinxia, the new Pope of the Black Vatican whom she chose, the child chosen by the soul.

As for him, the son of the gods, the temple matriarch only hoped that he would serve as an accompaniment to the goddesses, a true mascot.

Due to ancient and conservative traditional beliefs, the temple mother only believes in the power of the soul!
In her heart, only Ye Xinxia, the goddess who controls both the white and black of the world, can lead the temple to true glory!

“The goddess is the true faith of the temple,” the temple matriarch said.

"It's not just because of the resurrection magic, nor is it just because of that power."

"Only a true goddess can unite the temple."

"You are indeed powerful, but that is only your power alone. As you saw today, the Knights' Hall, the Faith Hall, and even the Goddess Hall are all only afraid of your power. When they feel they have a chance, they will stand up against you!"

"A temple with such divided loyalties is utterly vulnerable!"

"But if the person at the banquet today is a goddess, they..."

“But what if I don’t need them at all?” Caesar said.

"What if the combined power of the entire temple is not as great as mine alone?"

Do I still need their loyalty?

“Even with the power of the Black Dragon Emperor, it’s not enough, far from enough!” the Temple Mother said.

“Wen Tai has already tried it before.”

“I never said that I relied on the Black Dragon Emperor,” Caesar said.

"They know nothing of my power, and neither do you."

“No, I know you are strong, you are even stronger than that black dragon,” the temple mother said.

"But where are those ancient gods who ruled humanity for tens of thousands of years, the Golden Titans, and the ancient dragons now?"

"Aren't they stronger than the Black Dragon Emperor?" "But who rules this land now?"

"You are indeed powerful, but your power has nothing to do with others. They will not trust you or rely on you!"

"The goddess can provide warmth that people can rely on and trust."

"And your power can only bring trembling fear to the world!"

"Just like today, your knights, your priests, your followers are all afraid of you!"

"Can't you see the fear in their hearts?"

"You know what this fear will turn into tomorrow."

"They won't believe in you; they'll only try every means to ostracize you and bring you down!"

"Just like those ancient gods who were once defeated and driven out by humans!"

"Even if they can't defeat you, they don't have that power, so what? Are you going to stand on ruins and become king?"

“I know you don’t want to see that scene, so I never thought of putting you in that position. You don’t need to worry about these things or face those problems. We will handle everything. You can sit there happily.”

“But what if I’m not happy?” Caesar said.

“You all like to say that I always wish for everyone to be happy, but aren’t you also wishing that I would be happy?”

Have you thought about this?

"..."

……

"Did you have a fight with that old woman?"

Inside the Divine Child's chambers, Izusa had been waiting there for a long time, and Caesar didn't slowly walk up until midnight.

“I told you long ago that it’s time for her to enjoy her retirement.” Yi Zhisha stepped forward and pulled Caesar to sit down.

"Don't be fooled by her kind appearance. She has been in charge of the temple for so many years. She was already stirring up trouble when I was just a child. Her stubbornness is deeply rooted and will never change."

“Didn’t you argue with me before?” Caesar said.

“It’s different,” Izusa said.

“What’s the difference? Aren’t you all here for the temple?” Caesar said.

"It's just that your choices are different."

"She believed in the goddess, and you believe in me."

“Isn’t that our biggest difference?” Izusa said.

"I don't believe in the choice of the soul; I only believe in my own choices."

"My soul chose Ye Xinxia, but I choose you."

"Am I not the one who was left over?" Caesar retorted.

The spirit rejected Yi Zhi Sha, so Yi Zhi Sha settled for him instead.

“That was at the beginning,” Izusa said.

"Can't I change my mind later?"
