Chapter 439: Chapter 387: The Long-Cherished Wish of the Six Gods (Combined Chapter)_2

The God of Lies and Trickery was searching for the suffering lady, who was the same person Elena’s father had once seen in the Bone Church, and who Vina Kana was tracking.

Slaier clutched at his hair on his head, yanking it fiercely. He had wandered many days in the Bone Church, but he had never found the person he was looking for.

"Damnable thing, my father, please bless me to find her! I really don’t want to die with those six things."

The God of Lies and Trickery knew that plain cursing was actually futile, but now, other than cursing, He didn’t have many ways to vent his emotions.

Slaier rounded a side hall; the Bone Church was a series of large-scale tomb complexes. Looking for someone here was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.

But Slaier could only persist because otherwise, everything would turn toward an ending He didn’t wish to see.

After who knew how long, it seemed that it was truly the Lord’s protection; Slaier suddenly saw a shadow flickering in the distance.

The God of Lies and Trickery perked up instantly. He cautiously approached, praying in his heart that it wasn’t a corpse ghoul He had awakened.

After a half a moment, the shadow moved and started walking straight towards Slaier.

Slaier stopped in his tracks, watching the approaching figure with a face full of vigilance.

When the person fully emerged in front of Slaier, He exhaled and said,

"At last, we meet, suffering lady."

The woman was enveloped in a thick fog of shadow, standing tall like a small giant with a cane in hand, her features hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see clearly.

The only noticeable feature was her eyes, hollow and pitch black, as if they had no pupils at all.

The woman remained silent.

Slaier waited for the woman to speak.

No matter what, He wouldn’t let her slip away in front of Him—please, He had been looking for who knows how many years.

After an indefinite amount of time, Slaier grew impatient and couldn’t help but speak first,

"Damned thing, where are you planning to lead my brothers and sisters astray?"

At that moment, the woman finally said abruptly,

"As far as I know, there is no kinship among you Gods."

"But we have the same father."

Slaier said impatiently,

"What on earth are you trying to do, make a mortal ascend to divinity?"

The woman seemed to feel that there was no need to hide anything in front of Slaier. She had come out to meet this Divine voluntarily, and she began to speak,

"Yes, that’s not difficult.

The souls of the Stars and the souls of mortals have the same source; in essence, they are no different.

It’s just that the souls of mortals are tainted with too much filth, many things have to be cleansed, only then can they return to the most primitive ’Divine Spirit’ state, and be able to inhabit the Stars.

Just like when you Divines first awakened, ignorant and pure of soul.

Slaier, have you not noticed, that Primordial Messenger is slowly becoming more and more like a ruthless and unrighteous Divine?"

Slaier was impatient with all of this. He was searching for this woman, not to listen to her spout all this.

The God of Lies and Trickery stepped forward and pressed further,

"Rather than the ascension of a mortal, I am more interested in you and the Divine behind you.

Tsk tsk... a Divine from the future, by what virtues and abilities can your God bewitch my brothers and sisters?"

"That’s not the ability of my God."

The woman replied indifferently,

"That’s the ability of the Lord. My God is only borrowing His Ancient Scroll of Destiny."

Slaier paused, shocked.

For a moment, a storm surged through His mind.

The reason behind all of this might be much more complicated than He had previously thought.

The suffering lady did not stop speaking; she continued,

"I am from the same era as Vina Kana; you must have seen her.

At that time, half of the Ancient Scroll of Destiny was shattered, which is why she is collecting the fragments of the Ancient Scroll all over the world.

Slaier, God of Lies and Trickery, I was not supposed to appear before you.

However, Saint Madel is now restraining Vina Kana for me, and because of this, I have some time to meet with you.

Now, let me make a prophecy.

When that Primordial Messenger ascends to divinity... all truths will be unveiled."

Slaier was well aware of how the Primordial Church’s Ascension ritual was to take place.

In a mortal shell with a powerful soul, a Golden Heart was to be implanted, gradually erasing all his emotions.

For nearly a thousand years, the Six Gods had selected countless mortals, either their souls were not strong enough, or they were unable to harbor the Golden Heart, the few who met the criteria chose suicide over the agony brought about by the Golden Heart.

The Six Gods had prepared for tens of thousands of days and nights and finally welcomed an Envoy whose soul was strong enough to harbor the Golden Heart and whose mind was resilient enough to endure the ebb of emotions and the multitude of pains, making the so-called "Third Prophet Book" prophecies no empty words.

The purpose of the Golden Heart was to transform that person’s soul, removing all the flaws inherent to a mortal, to gain the recognition of the Thunderbolt Star.

After this was to combine the power of the Six Gods, utilizing the sacrifices made to the Primordial Will over the years to seize the power of the Primordial Will and open a path for mortals to ascend to godhood.

In the end, the Divine King who ascended would gather the Gods, bear the might of the Primordial Will, and allow the Celestial Kingdom to stand dignified against the Heaven that loomed high above the sky.

Everything was done to coerce the father of the Gods to yield.

What They sought was for the supreme laws to no longer bind the Gods, for the Gods to have Their own order, until at last, fulfilling the long-standing desire—to obey only Themselves.

For this purpose, the Six Gods continually added bargaining chips to the scales of negotiation.

Whether it was the Primordial Church, the sacrificed mortals, the stars of the Celestial Kingdom, even the Primordial Messenger prophesied in the Scriptures, or the prophesied King destined to ascend, were all chips in the trade.

They yearned for Their father to compromise.

Slaier from the past knew all this clearly.

But what He didn’t understand was what exactly this woman in front of Him was up to.

"If it weren’t for you, They wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly, and even racking Their brains, They wouldn’t have figured out how to construct a path to Ascension."

Slaier watched the woman intently,

"Even if They could think of one, it would at least take ten thousand years."

The principle that mortal and Divine souls are of the same origin was something Slaier had exploited when He became a Heavenly Descending Gem.

He knew that the principle was so clear and straightforward, but only when setting to the task did He realize how incredibly complex it really was.

If He Himself found it so difficult to mend His own soul with that of a mortal’s, what more to speak of making a mortal ascend to godhood.

The woman who called herself the Lady of Suffering turned her head, her empty eye sockets facing Slaier.

"What I wish to do is none of your business.

I am here only for my God, and all acts are for Him."

Slaier responded sarcastically,

"You really do look like a Prophet, interested in serving my ’Lie Holy Scripture’?"

"The god of lies and deception, you flatter me,"

The Lady of Suffering replied with a polite bow.

"What do you wish to do for your god who is not yet even an infant?"

Slaier asked coldly.

The Lady of Suffering slowly responded,

"I would like you to show some respect."

"In this world, only my father can command my respect,"

Slaier added,

"Out of necessity."

The Lady of Suffering faced Slaier and shook her head,

"I cannot answer you.

My God forbids me from answering you, but you are part of His plan, all of you are."

Slaier clapped His hands and laughed,

"Alright, I too give up on friendly conversation.

You might not know, but while traveling the Mortal World, I learned some techniques for tormenting people."

As His words fell,

The power of the god of lies and deception swirled instantly.

Slaier stepped forward, and the bones in all directions trembled lightly, a sudden change occurred.

The Lady of Suffering, with a resigned shake of her head, said

"Although my time is limited, Saint Madel has already taken on much for me.

God of lies and deception,

Let me try on you, the grace my God has bestowed on me."
