Chapter 369. The two felt that familiar sensation, just like the miracle from a short while ago, warming them, bathing them in Holy Light, causing all their fatigue to dissipate entirely…
Both of them were well-versed in the scriptures, so they naturally understood who the two beings before them were. A faint impulse caused them to open their mouths, naturally calling out Their names.
"Your Majesty the God King, Your Highness the Queen of Gods…"
Chapter 473: Saintess of Light, Fox Girl, Virgin, Succubus.
The Saintess awakened from her long, ancient slumber. As her consciousness first touched the real world, her skin began to perceive the warmth of the air and the softness of her long dress.
Her brows and eyes trembled slightly. After a pause, she finally opened her beautiful, serene, and deep eyes.
Before her was a temple permeated with Holy Light, with the statues of the God King and the Queen of Gods standing within her line of sight.
Everything seemed the same as it was countless years ago—quiet and gentle.
"Your Highness the Saintess, you have finally awakened."
A soft voice came from the side.
The Saintess of Light turned her head and saw the thirteen Saintesses standing around her. Their faces were vastly different from the thirteen Saintesses in her memory.
Saintess of Light.jpg. Which generation of Saintesses was this? They should have already returned to the embrace of the Goddess, right? These two questions popped up in the mind of the Saintess of Light.
She recalled the original thirteen Saintesses; they, too, had watched her fall into slumber under similar circumstances.
Seeing the Saintess of Light nod and sit up, seemingly having recovered her perception and consciousness, Saintess Libolila and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.
His Majesty the God King had ordered them to awaken the Saintess of Light, but who knew if the methods left behind from ancient times were actually correct, or if the Saintess of Light might have undergone some mutation after sleeping for so many years.
If that were the case… His Majesty the God King might not punish them, but they would have failed to fulfill His Majesty's entrustment, and they did not want to disappoint His Majesty the God King.
"What time is it now? Which generation of Saintesses are you? Also, why wake me? Is there an enemy?"
The Saintess of Light asked about the things she was most concerned with at this moment.
As the eldest among the thirteen Saintesses, Capricorne stepped forward without hesitation to answer these questions for the Saintess of Light one by one.
"…His Majesty the God King and the Queen of Gods need to awaken me?"
The Saintess of Light was slightly stunned, then she nodded, indicating she understood.
"Yes, Your Highness the Saintess of Light."
Saintess Geni turned slightly and looked at the two statues, her tone carrying a hint of a smile, "And… it is a good thing."
Gemini Palace Sister Mini.jpg. "A good thing?"
The Saintess of Light was puzzled.
"Yes." Saintess Geni nodded, "According to my speculation, for Your Highness the Saintess of Light, it should be considered a good thing, as it will allow you… to stand closer to The Deity."
The Saintess of Light furrowed her brows, her beautiful and holy face showing a touch of concern.
Although she was somewhat displeased with Saintess Geni's slightly flippant tone, since it concerned her Deity, she still wanted to know more accurately what Saintess Geni knew.
"Saintess Geni, please tell me in detail."
Saintess Geni and the others had already introduced themselves to the Saintess of Light.
"Your Highness the Saintess of Light, please be a little patient. Divine grace is not something I can speak of rashly. When The Deity summons Your Highness, Your Highness will naturally understand."
Saintess Geni shook her head gently.
Then why did you just say "a good thing" and "closer to The Deity"!
The Saintess of Light closed her mouth. Saintess Geni was indeed correct. As Saintesses and believers, they should not crave divine grace; that would be arrogantly demanding that The Deity bestow favor upon them.
"Alright, wait here for a moment. The Deity will return shortly."
…
"Father…" Looking at Lin Yi's appearance, Lolita inexplicably whispered a word.
Lolita.jpg. Lin Yi was slightly stunned. Looking at the longing in Lolita's eyes, he recalled that during their conversation just now, she had poured out all her fatigue and sorrow to him.
Sese, who was beside them, was also somewhat surprised. Looking at Lolita's pretty face, which was tinged with shyness, she explained to Lin Yi, "Your Majesty the God King, please forgive her…"
Sese.jpg. "It is fine."
Lin Yi shook his head gently, interrupting Sese's explanation. Looking at Lolita, he reached out and tucked a strand of golden hair from the side of her face behind her ear.
"Although your father has been exiled, you still have me, Lolita. If you do not mind, you can treat me as your new father."
Lin Yi said gently. As the God King who represented [Patriarchy] within the pantheon, he could say this, and it was by no means an impolite statement.
"I… can I really?" Lolita hesitated.
Lin Yi nodded affirmatively, and so Lolita tremblingly called out once more. "Father…"
The atmosphere began to become even gentler. Lin Yi continued to listen to Lolita's words. Time passed second by second, until he extended an invitation, which they accepted without hesitation.
And before leaving… Lin Yi looked in another direction. His Divine Sense captured two somewhat prominent women in the vast courtyard.
In his perception, they also had anchors on them, only they were somewhat weaker compared to Lolita and Sese.
After asking, Lin Yi suddenly understood. One of them was a Knight Maiden who had fled from the Deli Kingdom, named Weiliena. Her long red hair was like burning flames, and her slightly sharp brows and eyes carried an outstanding charm.
If one added the Bloodline of the Dragon Clan, she was undoubtedly a Red Dragon Knight Maiden, right?
Lin Yi vaguely remembered that in the original work, Weiliena was defeated and captured by the Saintess, then bestowed upon Lolita as a servant; her temperament was somewhat unruly.
Of course, now before him, she did not have that unruliness.
And here, she had seen the Demon God's corruption. Before she herself was contaminated, she had escaped from the Deli Kingdom's army, wanting to join the Shengan Kingdom's army to resist the Demon King Army together.
In the end, along the way, she was confused and circled around; she did not join the army, but instead was recruited by Lolita, which could be considered tangentially related to the original work.
The other one was a Sword Maiden with azure long hair, her brows and eyes carrying a heroic spirit, her expression slightly cold and serious, named Catherine.
In the original work, she was the male protagonist's servant, escorting him to escape from Grand Duke Lier II's encirclement, belonging to King Louis's faction.
Then why was she here with Lolita? One had to know that Lolita was Grand Duke Lier's daughter, the next Grand Duke Lier…
It was very simple: she was sent by King Louis to Lolita's side to act as surveillance. Lolita addressed her as Teacher Catherine; she was her swordsmanship teacher.
Lin Yi pondered. After taking the four of them into the Creation Realm, he took Life and disappeared into the courtyard. Following the direction sensed by his Divine Sense, he tore through space and left.
He discovered that he did not need the System to vaguely sense those Inner World anchors pinned to the surface of the world.
He did not return to the Saintess Convent immediately. Passing through the vast territory, he arrived at the southern border of the Shengan Kingdom, which was much warmer compared to the north.
"This is…" Lin Yi looked at the Count's mansion below his feet, where two anchors were shining, like lighthouses.
His Divine Sense enveloped the area below. A mature and voluptuous Countess, wearing a form-fitting gown, was like a vampire in the dark night, sitting at a table, teaching a young girl who vaguely resembled her.
Count Ryan and her niece, Young Miss Rerian. Lin Yi's Divine Sense descended, and he understood their names.
The original Count Ryan had been conscripted, led his knights to join the Shengan Army, and died on the front lines.
Because Young Miss Rerian had not yet reached the legal age of inheritance, her aunt had inherited the title in her stead, and when she reached the legal age, the title would be returned to her.
But whether it would really be returned was not certain; such things were very common among the nobility.
However, Lin Yi still felt that she would return it, because the one she worshipped was the Goddess of Life.
In her youth, she had also been a nun in the Saintess Convent, only she had not remained in the Monastery later on.
Lin Yi descended, appearing before the aunt and niece.
Life watched as Lin Yi had been constantly taking in new women along the way.
She was somewhat curious. Her husband and the God King… seemed to be intentionally searching for these women who were "special" in his eyes?
She looked at the Countess and the Young Miss before her, but did not discover anything special.
Could it be that she could not see what was in his eyes?
…
Lin Yi brought Life and appeared in a mountain range, walking silently. Before long, they approached a camp.
Amidst the constant wars in the Shengan Domain, there were also some commoners and poor people who could not bear the harsh governance and chose to become bandits.
The camp before them was established under such circumstances, and as for the camp leader…
Lin Yi looked at the tall woman standing on high. Her delicate facial features carried a heroic spirit. Her hair was white in the middle and black on both sides; the white hair reached the back of her head and draped over her shoulders, making the black hair look like it had been dyed as highlights.
Although there was a seductive charm at the corners of her eyes and brows, the woman revealed an unruly appearance, like a hissing kitten.
Lin Yi knew that this mature woman named Bolina was a rare Fox Clan member in the Shengan Domain.
Because the Fox Clan possessed superb charm arts, under normal circumstances, the Fox Clan would rely on their extraordinary charm to seduce members of the Human Race to make a living.
But Bolina was different. She was born loathing men, and coupled with her rebellious personality, she was unwilling to survive using the Fox Clan's charm abilities.
Thus, she trained her own martial prowess, determined to carve out a future with force.
Lin Yi stepped forward and landed beside Bolina. With a slight tap of his fingertip, one could see a fluffy white fox tail pass through the skirt hem and emerge from behind the mature woman's hips, as if the skirt did not exist.
In order to hide her race, Bolina had bound her tail under her clothes, but Lin Yi felt there was absolutely no need for this.
This was instead a sign of lack of confidence. For those who were confident, even if they were from the Fox Clan, so what?
"You—" Bolina widened her beautiful eyes, watching as the figures of Lin Yi and Life appeared. She quickly jumped back, ignoring her tail, and looked at them vigilantly.
Lin Yi smiled, "Bolina, do you want to obtain… power?"
Bolina narrowed her eyes slightly, looking steadily at Lin Yi and the Life beside him, "Who are you…"
"You should know." "The God King and the Queen of Gods?"
Bolina was originally also a believer of the Goddess of Life.
…
"Why are you looking for these girls?" Life had watched for so long, yet still could not see the special nature of them.
Lin Yi held her hand, walking in the warm and holy Saintess Convent, and nodded, "I have said before, this world is already heading toward decay. You should know, right?"
Life nodded. She had been on the scene, so she naturally knew. "Then what connection do they have with the world's decay?"
"There is a veil on the surface of the world, and they are the anchors of this veil, keeping it from being easily blown away by the wind."
"As time passes, this veil will completely replace the surface of the world."
"Afterward, the world will become something else. From the perspective of the world level, the world will have died."
Lin Yi explained simply.
"…I see." Life nodded.
"You should have also seen it—Saintesses, Fairies, Queens, Princesses… countless beautiful women being defiled, being bullied. This is one manifestation of that world."
Life widened her eyes, "I had thought… that such things in the outside world were correct, and that the laws I set down were wrong…"
