Chapter 398: Chapter 353 The Great Envoy of God!
Mira caressed the copper mirror she had brought from the basement of the Stone Mason Guild’s Head.
The copper mirror before her undoubtedly originated from the Primordial Church, that heretical cult with a history so ancient it was hard to imagine.
Before, when Mira’s soul had been taken to the Primordial Church, she had left behind a cloud of black mist as a medium for establishing a spiritual connection, but the mist was unstable and insufficient to allow her to stay at the Primordial Church for long periods of time.
But now, with this copper mirror, everything was going to be much more convenient.
The summoning ceremony conducted by that priest had been a one-off and quite costly, whereas this copper mirror was equivalent to a ritual that could be used an infinite number of times, undoubtedly a great convenience for Mira.
And this time, Mira wanted to learn more from the Primordial Church.
"Come."
Mira took a deep breath, she raised her hand and placed it on the copper mirror, starting to chant in the Ancient Language.
The girl had already made all the mental preparations.
She threw the black mist from her palm, wrapping her entire body like a cloak, and then her soul walked into the mirror.
.........
In some spacious underground tomb.
Thick black mist burst forth from the altar, and the disciples, who had been going about their business, collectively turned their heads in unison, and as exclamations rose, they dropped to their knees, chanting Scripture with utmost devotion.
Mira stood atop the altar, within the black mist.
The mist surged around her, constantly spilling outwards from her as the center, with tide-like undulations, and the disciples knelt there, their eyes alight with a fervor beyond that of ordinary people, their rapid breaths permeating the tomb.
The disciples slightly lifted their heads and gazed at the majestic figure in the mist, who slightly raised a hand and grasped the black mist between her fingers, manipulating it at will; that mist had arisen from the original Chaos and dominated the vast land in unimaginably ancient times.
The leading elder disciple Parker was overwhelmed with emotion, rapidly reciting the Scripture.
"People of God, God has commanded me to appear, and if you have ears, you must listen to my words."
Mira spoke with gravity, and her face was as dignified as a statue.
The disciples of the Primordial Church had no choice but to bow in reverence.
[God...forgive me for taking your name in vain...]
Mira looked solemnly at the disciples, quietly apologizing in her heart.
"People of God, beneath the Grand Cathedral of Danschel lies our Holy Land."
Her voice, calm, struck the crowd like thunder.
Elder disciple Parker was the first to raise his head, his lips trembling, as if hesitant to speak.
"Parker, speak."
Mira looked toward Parker, relying on the innate Angel Grace to instantly know the disciple’s name.
After the priest’s death, elder disciple Parker had become the leader of this heretical stronghold.
Parker was momentarily stunned, having not expected Mira to know his name.
No, there was no need for surprise; for the Primordial Messenger, knowing anyone’s name was only natural.
The elder disciple collected his thoughts and began to speak slowly:
"Great Envoy, the Elders beneath the city have warned us that we should not covet to reclaim the Holy Land until the time is right."
Listening to the elder disciple, Mira analyzed in her heart.
What was this city beneath the city? The main base of the Primordial Church?
To reclaim the Holy Land... had the Primordial Church always been preparing to overthrow the Imperial Church? Judging from the tone, it seemed they had been preparing for many years.
On the altar, Mira remained composed, adopting the form of an order to gather more information.
"Parker, what you all do is seen by God; He knows each one of your names, and He is aware of what you intend to do."
"God has manifested Himself before you, because He wishes for you to heed my words, not the words of mortals."
As these words reached his ears, the old Believer Parker shuddered, the hesitation on his face dissipated instantly, and he revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Mira continued to speak:
"Parker, await my commands, you shall be my pack animal on this journey, for I must go to the city beneath the city to proclaim God’s intentions to the other children."
Is this... a mission?!
Old Parker was shaken to his core.
Upon hearing this, the other Believers couldn’t help but lift their heads, looking at the old Believer with a mix of shock and envy.
The Primordial Envoy seemed to be bestowing a mission upon old Parker on behalf of God.
What did this mean?
It meant that old Parker’s name would have a place in Scripture, that his name would enjoy the utmost glory in future generations.
Old Parker trembled, his eyes stinging and almost shedding tears of age.
"Envoy, I shall act upon Your words!
With my faith as my pledge, I shall guide You to the city beneath the city."
After speaking, old Parker bowed his head and trembled as he said:
"That perennial Land of No Light, at last, shall welcome God’s dawn."
Land of No Light?
Mira was puzzled.
Now that the light of Heaven already covered the land, with the sun normally rising and setting, how could there be a Land of No Light?
The girl was confused, but she did not express it.
Once spoken, it might give her away.
Parker knelt on the ground, his head hanging even lower, and he asked with some excitement:
"Great Envoy, do you have any other commands?"
Upon hearing this, Mira slowly descended from the altar.
"God says, ’Amongst you are those who indulge in wicked excess, those who abhor evil without repenting, let them leave this nation, until they have atoned for their transgressions.’"
Quoting the Scriptures, she spoke with an irrefutable solemnity:
"As such, I shall test your faith in God."
The crowd was shaken in that moment, feeling both awe and fear.
Only to hear Mira’s voice low and deep:
"Tell me, do you know why Prophet Shan’en became a Prophet?"
Why did Prophet Shan’en become a Prophet?
Prophet Shan’en...
The Believers slowly opened their mouths, their hands trembling. At first glance, the question seemed so simple, yet upon reflection, they realized that it actually contained many mysteries.
Indeed, only such sacred and profound questions could be used as tests for the Believers by the Primordial Envoy representing God.
The kneeling Believers bowed their heads, each sinking into deep thought and meditation.
Prophet Shan’en was undoubtedly one of the foundational pillars of the Primordial Church.
The Primordial Church denied that Solamus was the Prophet of the Millennium and did not accept the "Book of Thousand-Year-Old Prophets" as Holy Scripture. They scorned every word and sentence in that text, and in the mouths of those illustrious Elders, the Scriptures were deemed corrupted, a misrepresentation of God’s intent.
By contrast, the "True Prophet Chronicles" compiled by the Primordial Church was regarded as the true fourth part of the Scriptures.
The Believers of the Primordial Church firmly believed that one day, the God of Heaven would reveal His other aspect, and the world would return to the cradle of its origin.
