Chapter 690: Chapter 491: The Holy Light Goddess Will Eventually Die (1)_2

It seemed that she was gradually getting used to her newly evolved appearance, as the expression on the Moon Goddess’s face became noticeably more animated.

This was a very lively goddess. Although at first she tried hard to maintain the image befiting a god, as communication went on, that carefully maintained image began to crumble bit by bit.

If not for her stunningly beautiful looks and the special manner of her appearance, one might even mistake her for a cute, playful girl next door.

Qin Chu was listening intently, unwilling to miss a single word.

So it wasn’t just the Fire God who disliked Moile—almost all the gods had a certain distaste for her?

Why?

"How should I put it, Moile is the youngest among us, the last to be born, a goddess who wields the Destiny Authority. From the moment Moile was born, a somber aura has always enveloped her, unlike other gods."

"Actually, it’s not difficult to understand. As the Goddess who holds the Destiny Authority, Moile can see things we cannot."

"And most of these are terrible disasters."

"No matter who it is, if someone constantly whispers in your ear that you’re going to have bad luck tomorrow and the day after, you wouldn’t feel comfortable either, would you?"

"It’s the same for the gods. Even though we all know it’s not Moile’s fault, every time Moile steps out of her temple, we can’t help but sigh."

As a surviving goddess, albeit just a Residual Soul, the Moon Goddess had a great deal more to share than the Fire God had left behind.

"Moile had made a prophecy quite early on that Sky Dome Continent, whether it be humans or gods, would face a great destruction. It would be the end of the world, the twilight of the gods."

"In order to prevent the twilight of the gods, Moile shut herself in the temple for hundreds of years, hoping to catch a hopeful thread in the river of fate."

"Unfortunately, the twilight of the gods could not be avoided. A millennium ago, Moile came out of seclusion and informed the gods that the Evil God from outside the Evil Domain was about to invade."

"She also predicted that this time the gods of Sky Dome Continent would suffer an unprecedented great defeat, the gods would fall, and only by uniting the strength of all the gods in a siege against the most powerful Evil God, would Sky Dome Continent have a sliver of a chance for survival."

"In reality, the situation was much like Moile’s prophecy. The strength of the Evil God was unprecedented, so strong that even the most powerful goddess of Sky Dome Continent, Lucia... ah, the Holy Light Goddess you worship, as well as the Earth Mother Goddess Onibella, the Sun God Helios, and the Dark God Hodder, were far from being his match."

"Just how many gods are there in the heavens? In the Lower Realm, there are forty to fifty powerful gods who have temples and worshippers, and countless more gods without any faith or legacy."

"Perhaps, that could no longer be called a war, but a one-sided slaughter."

"That Evil God was just too powerful. His presence was unbearable even for the gods. Weaker gods would be corrupted and polluted simply by getting near, turning into madmen, or even puppets."

"One by one, the gods fell in the starry sky, shattered into pieces, their bodies dead and souls extinguished."

"That was the true twilight of the gods."

"I witnessed it with my own eyes, the Sun God Helios drawing the energy of the sun into his own body, bringing eternal darkness to Sky Dome Continent as all light was absorbed."

"The Sun God... heh, he could utilize the sun’s power, but that doesn’t mean he was the sun itself."

Moon Goddess Cynthia’s gaze was fixed on the starry sky above, and although it was night, she seemed to peer into the immense, fiery Fireball.

"Trying to contain the energy of the sun completely within one’s own body was tantamount to courting death. That was an energy even Helios couldn’t bear. He wouldn’t last long. He turned himself into a terrible bomb, wrapping up Sky Dome Continent’s most intense and explosive energy, hoping to drag the Evil God down with him."

"I clearly saw that Helios’s divine body was cracked when he lunged at the Evil God."

"Yet even the energy of the sun, mixed with the burning body and soul of Helios... only managed to blow off one of the Evil God’s arms."

"I witnessed Dark God Hodder gathering all of his Divine Power, depriving the Evil God of sight, spearing through the Evil God’s chest with a lance condensed from the power of darkness. Yet his body was also seized by the Evil God’s flailing giant hand, his soul and flesh crushed into powder."

These mighty gods had eternal lives.

But when faced with the outsider Evil God, they gave up everything they had, all to protect the fragile Lifeforms of the Lower Realm.

They burned their own blood, their own souls.

Those were true gods.

"As for me, I am a relatively weak god." "I tried to pull the moon from the starry sky to fall upon the Evil God’s head, but before I could manage, the Evil God already shredded my body, and my soul was instantly shattered into fragments."

"However, I was a bit luckier, for a weak Residual Soul still survived on the moon." Cynthia’s voice gradually became forlorn.

And somewhat dim.

Although she had survived, the thought of so many dead companions made it hard to feel happy about it.

Perhaps sensing that her story was too oppressive, Cynthia abruptly shook her head, "But it looks like Moile’s prophecy wasn’t that accurate after all."

"She said that all the gods would die."

"Yet here I am with a Residual Soul still remaining, am I not?"

"I know that inside your body, there’s a Little Tree Seedling, which is actually the true essence of Onibella, the Earth Mother Goddess."

"It seems Onibella’s situation might be similar to mine."

Qin Chu’s throat moved slightly, "Moile prophesied that all gods would die?"

Cynthia nodded, "Yes, that’s what she said. She predicted that the gods’ sacrifice would bring hope to the Sky Dome Continent..."

"What about the Holy Light Goddess then?" Qin Chu could feel his lips tremble slightly.

"Naturally, she would die as well." Cynthia stated matter-of-factly, since the Holy Light Goddess was one of the strongest among the gods, the twilight of the gods was inevitable for her too.

Qin Chu’s pupils suddenly constricted, "Did you witness it?"

Cynthia shook her head, "No, when I died Lucia was still alive, but in very bad condition. She used the power of Holy Light to conjure the strongest cage in an attempt to trap the Evil God. Nevertheless, that terrifying creature broke the cage’s shackles one by one, and could not be suppressed at all."

"Every bar of the cage was one of Lucia’s bones."

"Moreover, when the gods discussed how to confront the Evil God, Moile told Lucia, in front of all the gods, ’You will die, but your blood will nurture the seeds of hope.’"

"Moile asked sister Lucia what her choice would be."

"Sister Lucia didn’t hesitate, and chose to sacrifice herself."

Cynthia took a deep sigh, "Given Lucia’s personality, it’s quite normal for her to make that decision, after all, she was the gentlest among all the gods."

"Perhaps, a thousand years ago, sister Lucia had already perished."

The Moon Goddess Cynthia was unaware of Qin Chu’s interactions with the Holy Light.

Qin Chu’s throat kept moving; he could feel the tightness in his throat.

The Holy Light Goddess hadn’t died; she was simply trapped in the Void, and the Goddess of Destiny’s prediction didn’t seem so precise after all.

No, perhaps in Moile’s prophecy, the sacrifice of the Holy Light Goddess Lucia wasn’t during the divine war a thousand years ago.

But instead... the future?

And that young girl trapped in the Void, no matter how she struggled, could not escape the fate of death?

Or, had the Holy Light Goddess actually fallen a thousand years ago?

But then, who is the one trapped in the cage?
