Chapter 399: Chapter 354: Why Did Shan’en Become a Prophet?

Why did Prophet Shan’en become a prophet?

Parker’s hands and feet clenched slowly, his brain whirring at high speed.

To the believers of the Primordial Church, that Prophet Shan’en is a prophet is a foregone conclusion.

Just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, day passes and night falls... Shan’en being a prophet is the truth for them.

So much so that few ever consider why Prophet Shan’en became a prophet.

Truly fitting of the Primordial Messenger... Only a messenger of God could pose such a question that touches upon the truth.

Gazing at Mira, whose form was shrouded in black fog, Parker thought to himself.

Mira stood with her hands crossed, black mist swirling around her.

She scanned the believers present.

The girl had initially sought to gather information through this so-called "test", but now it looked like she had gleaned something different from what she expected.

"Speak frankly, don’t hide anything from me because before God, you can’t hide anything."

Mira was a clever child; she responded in kind with a solemn and just tone.

The believers, who had been looking before and after and thinking hard, stopped their ruminations and collectively took a deep breath, their hearts pounding erratically.

Mira smiled slightly and then said:

"Is it difficult to answer?

Speak whatever comes to mind, nothing you say will be taken as offense."

As her words fell, the believers of the Primordial Church finally let go of their last scruples.

Finally, the elder believer Parker was the first to speak:

"Envoy, Shan’en is a prophet because of Her sacrifice."

Her?

A flicker of astonishment passed through Mira’s eyes.

Could it be that Shan’en was one of the Gods?

Old Parker continued:

"Shan’en, seated upon the Golden Hall, governed the order of humans and Gods during the days when the Lord weakened and slumbered.

And when Heaven descended, Shan’en took on the mission bestowed by the Lord, merged with the primal, and sacrificed Herself just like the Lord.

I believe it is for this reason, because of a sacrifice similar to the Lord’s, that She became a prophet."

Elder Parker spoke with heartfelt devotion, stirring more than a few waves in Mira’s heart.

"After Shan’en’s departure, those divine beings who followed Her undertook a new mission. They built a city beneath the city, imparting Shan’en’s will to us, waiting for the day when the Will of God would reveal its original form."

At the end, old Parker bowed his head, waiting for Mira’s response.

"Good, very good."

Atop the altar, Mira uttered softly.

.....................

After listening to the narratives of the other believers, Mira severed her connection with the underground tomb, returning her spirit to her own body.

This trip had been incredibly fruitful.

Before this, Mira’s understanding of the Primordial Church was rudimentary, gathered only from bits and pieces of evidence.

But today, she immersed herself in the doctrines of the Primordial Church and heard from the believers’ own words that the church was established under the support of certain divine beings from the Celestial Kingdom.

Although these pieces of information were just the tip of the iceberg, they were a considerable gain for both Mira and Anos at present.

Sitting on the bed, Mira took a deep breath.

"...A city beneath the city?"

Where would this Land of No Light mentioned by the Believers actually stand?

What kind of life did the people there lead?

What was the Primordial they spoke of?

The more Mira learned, the more she questioned.

Soon, the girl contemplated another issue.

Should she... or should she not tell Anos... that she could contact the people from the Primordial Church?

Honestly, Mira greatly trusted the imperial Princess, who occupied a place in her heart. Logically, informing Anos should be all pros and no cons.

Yet for some reason, Mira had an intuition,

An intuition that... if Anos knew too much, bad things would happen.

For an adult facing such a choice, perhaps they might choose reason.

But children were different.

Children were not creatures of reason.

After hesitating, Mira shook her head.

"Better not tell her... But when I go to the city beneath the city, it’s best to bring her along."

As for how to take Anos to the city beneath the city without letting her understand the truth, Mira didn’t want to think about it for now. After all, the path would clear when the boat reached the bridge.

...

...

Anos and Mira had hidden their whereabouts, and when the letter the Princess wrote to her father arrived at the Imperial Palace, Emperor Leo also gave his daughter infinite trust. He ordered his confidant to forge the Princess’s whereabouts, leading all the Nobles to believe that the girl from the Delos Family had gone to her family’s domain in the North.

Members of the Red Olive Poetry Society were also unaware of their president’s location. In their minds, it was not unusual for the noble Princess to disappear for a while every now and then. Since they had come to know the Princess for various reasons, they often encountered Anos suddenly leaving and then just as suddenly returning.

How common such situations were, after all, Princess Anos and the Delos Family behind her often found themselves in the storm’s eye within the Imperial City.

Hence, it never occurred to them that Anos had never left, but was in Stephanie’s house, the meeting place of the Red Olive Poetry Society.

On the day that Anos and Mira were preparing to explore the Bone Church, they encountered an unexpected and troublesome event.

Elena was here.

On a day that wasn’t a meeting of the Red Olive Poetry Society, Elena suddenly arrived, almost barging into the Red Olive Poetry Society and requesting shelter from Stephanie.

Elena, who was always known for her knowledge and good manners, and maintained a warm personality, was the epitome of a noble girl. Her face always wore a friendly smile, and her attire for outings was always meticulously selected.

But today, Elena’s hair was disheveled, and her knees were bruised, appearing as if she had fallen somewhere, with her shins scraped and her whole person exuding disarray unbefitting of her status.

Elena came for help. She told Stephanie that her father had gone mad.

"What, what?"

Stephanie hurriedly attended to her, a look of disbelief on her face.

Just as Elena was the epitome of a noble girl, her father was the paragon of middle-aged Nobles.

"He’s mad, truly mad... My father has gone mad ever since he was summoned by the Great Shepherd... He tore up the Scriptures at home, and he beat my mother... Oh God, he’s really lost his mind!"

The Princess Anos, listening by the door of the guestroom, picked up on something from Elena’s words.

Great Shepherd Conrad...

The Great Shepherd had summoned Elena’s father...

And the Grand Cathedral he presided over was... Danschel Grand Cathedral.

Could it be that Elena’s father had... entered the underground Bone Church?!
