Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Weakened Divinities vs. Despicable Believers (Part 12)
Heddy is right in Sea Blue City.
Because she has the qualifications to become an Oracle, she can see the source of the plague that clings to humans, which is the black mist.
She listened to the sacred chanting and watched those green light spots appear out of thin air, devouring the black mist that left everyone helpless until nothing remained.
Heddy felt her understanding of the world was overturned.
Even back when she was taken away by a mysterious person and later inexplicably became the Water God’s Oracle, Heddy’s heart had always been devoid of faith, and she didn’t believe in the existence of divinities in this world.
But what she witnessed today was simply beyond comprehension.
Besides a divinity, what human could possess such powerful and miraculous strength?
Do divinities truly exist?
Then, as an Oracle, would she one day become as powerful as that mysterious woman?
A sudden flame of excitement kindled in her heart, and with determination, she headed towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Gu Shengyin was still in the City Lord’s Mansion.
"She’s come again?" Gu Shengyin was a bit puzzled. Their last encounter with Heddy had been far from pleasant, so why would she come looking for her again?
"How to become powerful?" Gu Shengyin gave Heddy a mysterious look.
That look made Heddy’s heart feel uneasy, and a sense of foreboding arose within her. It made her want to stop the person opposite her from speaking.
But Gu Shengyin had already spoken:
"The source of power for an Oracle lies in their own faith and the power of the divinities. I don’t sense any faith within you, and I’m quite curious how you became an Oracle." Gu Shengyin looked at her with a somewhat serious expression.
When these words were spoken, everyone looked at Heddy with changed eyes.
An Oracle without faith? This was the biggest joke of all!
No one would doubt Gu Shengyin’s words because she had just proven herself with her actions.
Heddy wanted to defend herself, but that feeling from last time resurfaced.
In front of this mysterious woman, all her secrets were laid bare, and even trying to utter a single lie became extraordinarily difficult.
Ultimately, unable to bear the surrounding looks of doubt and disdain, Heddy covered her face and left angrily.
Gu Shengyin stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion for another three days.
During these three days, many citizens of Sea Blue City came to visit her daily, seeking her guidance on matters related to the Goddess of Nature.
She could sense clearly that within the Sea Blue Province, many people were beginning to believe in the existence of the Goddess of Nature due to her influence.
She was pleased in her heart and treated those people with great patience because, after all, they were her believers.
The way she appeared, in the eyes of the Lord of Sea Blue City and Roy and others, made her seem even more like a person with unwavering faith.
Even the Lord of Sea Blue City had started preparations for the construction of the first Temple of the Nature Goddess.
Many citizens expressed their willingness to help voluntarily.
...
On a sunny afternoon, Gu Shengyin received a visitor.
"To the Imperial Capital?" Gu Shengyin looked at Roy in surprise.
This man, as always, had cold and indifferent eyes.
Roy nodded and straightforwardly stated his purpose: "I want to collaborate with you."
He gazed directly at Gu Shengyin: "I can provide you with convenience to develop believers; you need to help me gain more support."
Over these days, Gu Shengyin’s actions were all witnessed by him, and he understood what she wanted.
Therefore, when he spoke, it was an offer difficult for others to refuse.
