Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Weakened Divinities vs. Despicable Believers (Part 8)
Gu Shengyin, riding the Nine-Colored Deer, unsurprisingly attracted countless people’s attention.
Among those gazes, there was curiosity, amazement, surprise, and greed.
Gu Shengyin seemed not to notice and continued walking alongside the knights until she reached the border of the Sea Blue Province.
Upon entering the Sea Blue Province, Gu Shengyin’s heart grew firm: her suspicion was correct, this wasn’t a natural disaster, it was a man-made one.
Roy’s attention was always on this strange Oracle. Seeing a hint of change on her face, he asked, "Do you feel anything?"
Gu Shengyin met his dark blue eyes and said with a smile, "I think I can solve the issues here."
Roy raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
So confident?
Since the outbreak of widespread infection and casualties in the Sea Blue Province, the person in charge here has tried everything he could think of, including requesting the Oracle to pray for the divinities’ protection.
But if the Oracle were effective, he wouldn’t have had to come all the way from the Imperial Capital.
Whether this person can do it, either way, let the facts speak.
Gu Shengyin knew the other did not trust her, but she didn’t mind it: what she needed the most now was not his trust.
The situation in the Sea Blue Province was dire, so Roy wasted no time and directly took her to the City Lord’s Mansion in Sea Blue City.
Hearing she could resolve the epidemic in the Sea Blue Province, the Lord of Sea Blue City was almost in tears upon seeing Gu Shengyin.
In recent times, he had been overwhelmed by this matter, even his hair had turned significantly gray.
Originally, given his seniority, he had stayed here long enough, and once he successfully weathered this period, he was sure to be transferred back to the Imperial Capital, with a smooth path ahead.
But unfortunately, he had encountered this issue instead!
If it can’t be resolved, not to mention being transferred back to the capital for a promotion, whether he could keep his life was another matter.
Gu Shengyin also knew this matter couldn’t be delayed.
She quickly explained what she needed.
"Just this?" the Lord of Sea Blue City asked suspiciously.
"Just this," Gu Shengyin nodded.
She looked at the Lord of Sea Blue City and said, "I can guarantee that when you prepare what I need as per my request, I will resolve the crisis in the Sea Blue Province."
Her calm demeanor steadied the slightly wavering heart of the Lord of Sea Blue City.
"Alright, esteemed Oracle, I will fulfill your requests promptly."
The Lord of Sea Blue City instructed someone to lead Gu Shengyin to a fine guest room to rest, and he hurriedly left.
Gu Shengyin gently stroked the smooth fur of the Nine-Colored Deer with her hand, thinking about the Sea Blue Province matter.
From the moment she arrived, she felt a power that was both familiar and repulsive.
Hermos, the God of Darkness.
As one of the Five Great Main Gods, unlike the other four Main Gods, Hermos was never favored by humans. His believers were the Abyssal Demons from the other end of the continent.
As humans grew stronger, the Abyssal Demons were exiled, and Hermos was the first of the Main Gods to fall into slumber.
She could confirm that the situation here had nothing to do with Hermos; it was likely that some humans had acquired the God of Darkness’s legacy but could not control such immense Dark Power, causing such severe consequences.
Gu Shengyin could have quietly dispelled these dark forces.
But with such an excellent opportunity to develop faith, how could she possibly give it up?
