God's Seal: A weak priest, but with explosive strength

Chapter 225 My Bet with the Gods

Ten days later, in a deserted city, the girl stepped down from the carriage.

She ignored the dirt on the ground, letting her gorgeous dress get stained with a faint layer of black.

Splendor and baseness, cleanliness and filth. These stark contrasts precisely illustrate that she is unsuitable for this city polluted by darkness.

As the Holy Maiden of Light of the Holy See, Nian should not have set foot in this abandoned city.

This city, shrouded in the faith of the Dark God, is also known as the City of Fallen Gods, the darkest place in the hearts of people on the entire continent.

This place is devoid of order, filled only with chaos and slaughter. Only the strong can survive.

Those criminals wanted by the Holy See hid in this city, living a decadent life, just like their faith.

The people of the Church of Light dare not set foot here because this city is the territory of the God of Darkness, and is also a place covered by the God of Darkness's divine power.

Those who possess light will become useless if they step into this place.

Every proclamation ceremony of the Holy See of Light is held outside of this city, so that the proud and exceptionally talented holy sons and daughters will not perish here.

Of course, Nian's thoughts were not those of an ordinary person. She did not intend to use this ceremony as a stepping stone or to complete it perfunctorily.

She wanted to carry out the will of the God of Light and let light shine over the city where darkness prevailed.

The accompanying maids and guards looked at Nian with troubled expressions.

The head maid spoke softly, "Your Highness."

"This place is too dangerous."

"Once you step into this place, your cultivation will vanish instantly, and you will become a cripple."

People with the attributes of light and darkness are incompatible. Naturally, this city, filled with the power of darkness, will reject those who possess the power of light.

The reason the Holy See of Light isn't attacking this area is because their military strength has been greatly reduced without the protection of the power of light.

In addition, those who live in this city are all vicious people.

Without the strength to enter the city, one is courting death.

No one complains about having too long a life.

Upon hearing this, Nian remained calm and said coldly, "The darkness in this city is not insurmountable; it's just that they dare not dispel it. Just because our predecessors could not do it doesn't mean I can't."

"Moreover, life is fair. Similarly, light will shine on every corner of the continent. I do not believe that there is no light where darkness shrouds, nor do I believe that darkness cannot be born in places of light. Nothing can reach its ultimate state without any impurities."

“You shall wait outside for my return.”

"If I cannot save the people of this corrupt city, then I should not be a saint."

After saying that, Nian ignored their advice, took off her gorgeous golden robe, and walked into the city shrouded in darkness wearing a golden midi skirt.

"Your Highness!"

The head maid exclaimed in shock, "But... the people of this city don't deserve your salvation!"

She paid no heed to the head maid's words and stepped into the border between the city and the outside world.

As the crowd grew, countless eyes suddenly fell on her.

Greed, envy, jealousy... all sorts of negative emotions surrounded her.

As they said, after entering the city, the spiritual power in her body disappeared, and there was no power left in her meridians, just like a child who had not embarked on a cultivation journey.

The surrounding air was filled with a dark and ominous aura, which instinctively displeased her, who possessed the blood of the God of Light.

Suddenly, a hidden arrow shot towards her. Nian deflected the arrow with her dagger and calmly looked towards the source of the arrow.

He was a young man with black hair and black eyes, a playful expression on his face. He wore a black, close-fitting outfit, and there was a faint black eyebrow mark on his forehead. The surrounding dark aura surged wildly towards him.

After he appeared, everything around him became nothingness.

Clearly, this was a domain created by divine power, deliberately isolating her from others.

"Isn't this the renowned Holy Maiden of Light of the Holy See? You've condescended to come to my city; do you intend to challenge my authority on behalf of light and life?"

"Do not."

Nian glanced at the arrows on the ground, then said with a serious face, "I am here to save the people in this lost city. As long as they have light in their hearts, they are believers in the light, and there is no such thing as abandoning them."

"Haha."

"Are you out of your mind? Or has losing your memory and power turned you into an idiot?"

"The child of light and life is a fool."

The God of Darkness was certainly aware of Nian's background.

This is the child born after ten thousand years of gestation between the God of Light and the Goddess of Life. However, the laws of nature do not acknowledge her existence.

In order for her to survive in this world, the God of Light and the Goddess of Life had to seal her divine power and memories, and send her soul to the continent to undergo tribulations, thereby absorbing the power of faith to become a true god.

Only gods recognized by the laws of nature will not be rejected as outcasts; otherwise, the power of the laws will leave terrifying scars on them, causing them to disappear from the world.

"..."

Nian's expression remained unchanged as she calmly gazed at him amidst his laughter. "You need to be saved."

"Forehead?"

Upon hearing Nian's words, the God of Darkness paused for a moment, then looked at her with a mocking gaze, "With a body like yours that can't even muster a shred of power?"

"This is my domain, enveloped by my power."

"Is that so? Would the arrogant God of Darkness like to make a bet with me?"

Nian looked at him calmly. "If I lose, I will fulfill one condition."

"It all depends on whether you dare to gamble."

"What conditions?"

"What conditions do you desire? Please name any terms I can offer."

"Haha, what a bold little girl."

The God of Darkness looked at her coldly, "You dare to make a bet with me? You really think highly of yourself."

"If I win, you shall commit suicide here and be reborn as a mortal. You shall not return to this world without going through ten lifetimes of reincarnation. Furthermore, you shall not allow light and life to take revenge on me."

After all, this little girl is the beloved daughter of the God of Light and the Goddess of Life.

If she makes even the slightest mistake, those two gods will retaliate against her fiercely.

"make a deal."

"If I win this bet, I ask that you abandon this abandoned city and let the light judge these sinners. The light will not abandon those who possess it. But for those who have committed heinous crimes, the light will still punish them severely."

"I'd like to see what you can do."

"My bet with you is that there are over a thousand people in this city who believe in the light and are willing to return to it. Even in darkness, they have not forgotten that light, nor have they extinguished the kindness in their humanity. They are the only remaining gentleness in this chaos."

Upon hearing such a bold bet, the God of Darkness couldn't suppress his laughter.

Seeking light in a land of darkness?
This little girl isn't very bright.
