Chapter 89: Breaking into the church and being discovered?
Upon learning that this girl named "Sifska" might have some kind of kinship with the God of Light whom she had never met, Chen Shuang suddenly had the illusion that the world could indeed be a little more chaotic.
The conversation over there continues.
"Illness always strikes unexpectedly. No one can guarantee that tomorrow will go as planned, not even God."
"That's the end of the teacher's business," the Holy Son said, changing the subject: "Okay, Sifska, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to finish today's lessons."
He paused briefly for two seconds. "...or perhaps your reverence for God can sustain you in reading all night long."
It makes me sad just thinking about having to stay up all night to finish homework.
The girl suddenly became quiet and walked away with a resentful look in her eyes, looking back every few steps.
Just now, a large group of meowing cats left, and now Sifska, the core of the conflict, was finally coaxed away, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The Son of God stood still amidst the interplay of light and shadow. His eyes, which believers called "God-given eyes," were a cold, azure blue like ice and snow. At this moment, those eyes, which looked like the sky, withdrew from the girl's gradually receding back and moved towards the "guest" who had suddenly visited.
He nodded slightly: "Long time no see, Your Excellency the Priest."
Chen Shuang nodded: "Good day."
After a brief greeting, the Son of God shifted his gaze slightly and looked at a touch of emerald green under a light gray cloak not far away.
Strange creatures.
Looks like an elf's outfit.
Who could be the creature that could travel with this priest?
A thought flashed in his eyes, and the Son of God looked at the new face several times without leaving any trace.
He frowned slightly.
It seems familiar.
Although numerous speculations flashed through his mind, in reality, only half a breath had passed. The Holy Son quickly withdrew his gaze and said, "Please follow me, both of you."
The Church of Light is located outside the Kingdom of Thorns, or outside all countries on this continent. It is a pilgrimage site independent of all forces.
The Church of Light, which has gathered so many resources, is so magnificent and stunning that it is astonishing.
Just by glimpsing the tip of the iceberg of the church, Chen Shuang had a true understanding of the saying that the forces of light are on the rise.
This is the result of thousands of years of rule and accumulation, which has been precipitated over a long period of time and cannot be caught up in a day or a night.
However, everything that goes up must come down. The development of anything has its limits, even the power of God.
Chen Shuang withdrew her gaze.
The Lost Land will follow this standard in the future.

After passing through several heavy doors, they followed the Son of Light and finally arrived at the heart of the church - the meeting hall belonging to the Son of Light.
Servants on either side pulled open the doors to the left and right, revealing a massive circular conference table in the center. It was entirely white, with a unique pattern of patterns. Towering bookshelves circled the table, forming a continuous structure. A steaming cup of water sat on the table, as if a meeting had just concluded.
Chen Shuang looked up.
The dome is a transparent circular skylight. The craftsmen seem to have used some techniques to gather the external light into the dome. After reflection, the sunlight from any angle can hit the main seat at the highest point of the podium.
That is the place of the Son.
Noticing Chen Shuang's gaze, the Holy Son said, "It's a small mirror with many corners cut out. It was created using alchemy to create a device that can follow the sunlight."
"I took it apart a few times when I was little, but it was put back together after a while," he said. "Although it doesn't matter anymore now..."
"But, when you are always and everywhere under the glaring light, without even a shadow, even the most patient person in the world will feel frustrated and dissatisfied."
He smiled faintly: "This place will be demolished sooner or later."
God was originally walking quietly, but when he heard this, he suddenly gave him an admiring look.
The two looked at each other for a moment and suddenly spoke.
The Son of God said, "Tear off the tiles, smash the walls, and burn the church."
The god replied, "Tear down the beams and destroy the pillars, and Heaven will not disappoint you."
The two continued to look at each other, and unexpectedly felt a sense of mutual understanding.
Chen Shuang: “…”
What the hell is this tacit understanding between men.
By the way, I think there was nothing weird taught during the literary indoctrination back then.
The great priest began to doubt his own teachings.
"Ahem," the Holy Son coughed and said, "It's not here."
He led the way around the central ceremonial platform and into the small room at the end of the alley.
The heavy door closed, and the runes on the walls of the entire room flashed, blocking out all perception from the outside world.
"This is my private space. I don't have to worry about privacy."
The room was on the shady side, and the window was half open, so the slanting sunlight just fell on the window, within reach of one's hand.
The Son of God walked over and closed the window. The frosted glass immediately blocked the strong sunlight outside the window, and the room was surrounded by gentle light.
The next second after he finished speaking, the god tapped the window with his fingers. The next moment, thick darkness climbed up the hazy glass, followed by the surrounding walls and the ceiling. The light in front of his eyes changed, the gentle sunlight was swallowed up, and the room was filled with bright and clear moonlight.
The room was temporarily dark.
Shinto said, “That’s enough.”
Across the window, it is night inside, while outside it is still sunny.
Faced with this level of change, the Holy Son's face showed no exaggerated surprise. He calmly leaned forward and lowered his head: "Welcome back, the original god of the dark night."
God nodded, leaned against the table, and said nothing more.
"Meow."
The cat also followed in, squatted at Shen Shuang's feet, called out in a clear voice, and walked around her twice. It accidentally made eye contact with the Son of God, shook its head, and jumped away in an instant.
It jumped onto the sofa as if it knew the place well, kicked away the luxurious cat bed that the Son of God had prepared for it, picked up a cardboard box from the corner and slept in it. After a while, it began to purr.
Chen Shuang said, "It seems that it is living well here."
The Son's eyes softened considerably. "It has been involved in quite a few fights lately and has become the cat boss in the church."
He paused, his voice suddenly dropping two notches. "Ever since Sifuska showed up, all the cats that could move around have come out, chasing after her, eager to grab her and take her to their own cat nests."
The Holy Son, who had always been insulated from cats, said, "I suspect someone cast a spell on her."
Chen Shuang: "...maybe."
I'm so jealous that I'm fuming, Your Highness the Holy Son.
"Fortunately, it's not like that." The Son of God looked at the Frenzy Shadow, his voice sounding somewhat touching. "It ignores everyone and only tickles me. That's great."
Chen Shuang: "That's really good."
It's reasonable to suspect that this guy has been driven crazy.
Let’s get back to the topic.
They both spoke at the same time.
"Oh, that girl..."
"Sifska..."
Chen Shuang raised her hand, signaling the Holy Son to speak first.
"Sifska," the Son of God said frankly, choosing his words carefully. "She has the blood of God."
Sure enough, the Son of God was not completely ignorant of this, and those favored by the God of Light had also sensed that something unusual was happening.
Chen Shuang had a question: "Has that person ever appeared in the human world?"
The Holy Son said, "As far as I know, the last miracle recorded by humans was five hundred years ago."
It seems that he is a god who doesn't like to go out.
Chen Shuang turned to look at her boss and found that he was a little absent-minded. She called out, "Yper."
He came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shuang asked, "Are you okay?"
God shook his head: "It's okay."
He said, "I'm just a little confused."
"I don't think this guy, Erskine, can attract girls."
Because he was unsure, he even used the interjection "吧". After thinking for a while, God corrected him: "No, this guy can't have a normal relationship."
God thought: "Is it forced? Tsk, what a terrible guy."
What's the difference between this and someone holding a loudspeaker at the village entrance saying that a certain bachelor can't find a wife? At least the expression of the Son of God who heard this level of secret for the first time was not so natural.
So how bad is this god's character?
Noticing the silence around him, God looked up and said to the Son, "Please continue."
The first time I saw a real god, it was completely different from what I had imagined.
The Son of God adjusted his expression, trying to appear less ignorant, and continued, "Two months ago, she was found at the church door."
"According to the Night Watchman, the aura of light she exuded was incredibly strong at the time, like the ultimate eternal day. Being near her was like the Kingdom of Light descending upon the earth."
The Holy Son said, "He was an ordinary person who had just entered the church. Perhaps what he said was true, or perhaps because he had never experienced the breath of light, he exaggerated his feelings."
He said, "I didn't see this scene, nor did I feel anything unusual at that time, so I'm keeping my attitude towards this for now."
"The clergy accepted Sifska because of her natural affinity for light, just like... just like me," the Holy Son said. "She will be the Holy Maiden of Light second only to me."
He smiled and said, "Maybe she will be above me soon, because there is always a way to make a young girl obedient enough."
It has been too long, so long that those idiots who kept their heads down and pretended to be deaf and dumb are starting to get restless again.
Chen Shuang: "Where is her autobiography?"
If they want to recruit a person of unknown origin to serve their own purposes, the old hands in the Church of Light will not give in until they have thoroughly investigated his identity and background.
The Holy Son shook his head: "She has lost her memory."
"That's a good reason."
Chen Shuang said: "I think, as newcomers who have just joined here, we should first go to the church to recite and worship with a pious heart."
Let’s start with Sifska.
"What do you think, Your Highness?"
The Son of God said, "Your kindness is enough to move the gods. As a sign of respect, I will escort you directly to the cathedral."
He nodded: "May you get what you wish for."

This is a white world.
At first glance, the first thing you see is the white statue half-embedded in the wall. It is very large, so large that you can only see the full picture of the statue by standing at the door of the hall.
The long hair hanging down to the ground neutralizes the coldness that comes towards the face. It looks down at all the living beings that come in lightly. A strong divinity overflows from this sculpture, which is majestic without anger.
In addition to the main body, there are also sculptures of six angels in the church, holding weapons and standing on both sides of the God of Light, representing killing.
The clergymen coming and going were all wearing white robes, quietly looking for their places to pray, and then kneeling motionlessly to pray silently.
It's time to go in.
"You're a little strange."
Such a voice rang in my ears.
When they were about to step into the cathedral, the clergyman who passed by suddenly stopped and shifted his gaze from Chen Shuang to God.
After a pause, he slowly said, "You... are so weird."
The wind chimes hanging on the wall above the door suddenly rang, and in an instant, everyone's attention was focused on it.
The clergyman stared at the face he had never seen before and repeated, "You two are so strange."
Chen Shuang exhaled slowly.
How can it not be strange? The opponents have come to the base to confront each other.
