Chapter 202: Priests in the Underworld

The sunlight came into the hall, and the golden murals shimmered. Although Lu Zhiyu was respected by many people as being equal to a god and countless believers were willing to give up everything to follow him, it was the first time that he had been worshiped as an incarnation of God.

This gave Lu Zhiyu a novel feeling. Lu Zhiyu had lived for almost a hundred years, which normal people couldn’t achieve. Although there were no signs of aging on his face, time had still shaped his mind. For instance, he was no longer naive, and he had no sense of excitement while doing things that he used to like doing.

The foundation of the palace was ten meters high, so it could be seen by everyone in the city of Pusuote. if he was standing on the outer corridor of the main hall of the palace, a man could also see the whole Pusuote city.

He could also see the Hashe river, as well as merchant ships and fishermen who were arriving at the docks. The merchants and the tax officials of Pusuote could even be seen as they were putting different seals on shipped goods, which indicated that the proper taxes had been collected.

Lu Zhiyu looked at Eva, who was standing next to him. He then asked, “Who do you think I should choose as the lord of the underworld?”

Eva glanced at Lu Zhiyu, then answered, “I feel that master does not care about this matter. After all, the lord of the underworld is of no importance to you.”

Lu Zhiyu smiled, It was as if Eva had read his mind. He then said, “You are right.”

Lu Zhiyu turned around. Then, after a bit of thinking, he asked, “Eva, do you want to be the lord of the underworld and take control of the world of reincarnation and death?”

Eva shook her head and looked at Lu Zhiyu. “I don’t want to, because where you are is where I want to be.” Lu Zhiyu actually saw a slight smile on her face as she spoke.

Lu Zhiyu curiously asked, “Aren’t you curious about who I really am? I have never told you, and you’ve never asked!”

Eva stood in front of Lu Zhiyu, blinking her jewel-like eyes at him. She then said, “You are my creator!”

Lu Zhiyu stood silently for a long time, wanting to say something. Then, he finally looked out of the hall and announced, “There are guests coming!”

Outside the main hall, young Cetisius was wearing a ritual robe. He walked up the high ladder, then bowed.

Immediately, he saw the statue ghosts, each with a rifle, step away. Cetisius passed through the bronze statue ghosts and went into the palace.

Cetisius had suffered a lot, but his experiences had only made him stronger and better able to understand the suffering of the lower-class. After all, he did really care about others.

Anke had been a generous and good master of Cetisius, and he had even allowed Cetisius to study with his son.

As a result, Cetisius really liked to read. Even before he could speak, books had been his whole world.

When he met the incarnation of god, Randil, he felt that his world was completely turned upside down. He had then begun to forge his own beliefs and go after his own pursuits. He had even found his life goal, which was to spread the belief in god to the entire Batko region and the entire eastern world!

“I’ve been saved by God, but that’s not enough. Everyone in the world should be loved by God and should be the proof of a miracle! Compared with physical pain and suffering, the lack of belief is the most horrible thing. Everyone should have beliefs!” More than once, Cetisius had expressed similar musings publicly, both in the palace and in the city of Pusuote.

As a result, many poor people and laborers became his faithful followers, as they liked to listen to his speeches about God.

While he was awaiting the arrival of Cetisius in the divine palace, Lu Zhiyu stood on one side of the main hall. Cetisius arrived in a rush and greeted him with polite and proper etiquette.

Lu Zhiyu looked at Cetisius, a slave who had gradually become a young qualified priest. Compared to other priests, Cetisius was much more interesting.

Cetisius was a firm believer, but his belief was not only in God, but in saving all beings. He wanted to spread his beliefs throughout the world and build a country based on his ideals.

“I am confused, so please enlighten me. With so many gods, and each god having a different power and philosophy, then how can we find our own belief among them?” Cetisius asked Lu Zhiyu.

Lu Zhiyu thought a bit, then said, “The establishment of our god system represents the unity of thoughts and beliefs. Therefore, there may be many gods in the god system, but there is only one unified belief. This is why I asked you to compile the holy book. The inheritance of the belief is the foundation of the god system.”

Cetisius then asked, “So, what kind of belief should it be?”

Lu Zhiyu said, “It is what you believe in your heart!”

Cetisius said excitedly, “You agree with what I believe!”

Lu Zhiyu said, “You are the inheritor of my will. You are guided by gods without fear, panic, or doubt. You must build an ideal nation, one where good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil, where people no longer seek pleasure and enjoy fighting, and where there is no prejudice or hatred…”

As Lu Zhiyu continued speaking, he gently stroked Cetisius’ head. Cetisius bowed his head devoutly.

He found that the light in his hand brought a glow that covered his whole body, and a large number of mysterious characters also flowed over his body. A mark that was similar to the sun of the underworld then appeared on his forehead.

This mark was a divine incarnation, one that was much different than that of the Divine Kingdom of Gaia. This was because it was from the underworld.

The underworld divine system was established in accordance with the underworld rules. It had trials, curses, summonings of the underworld creatures, the projection of the underworld and the divine seeds that would gradually form a unique space in the underworld, each of which would have special powers.

After priests in the heavenly palace died, they would be absorbed into the sun of the underworld and become governors of the underworld. Now, as the underworld was currently empty, as more priests died priests, the whole underworld would continue to expand.
