Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Weakened Divinity vs. Despicable Believer (Part 34) Ancient and mysterious chants resound upon the altar. The believers all look with devout eyes at the blurry silhouette in the green robe on the altar. To believers who can almost never touch divinities, the Oracle is the person closest to the Gods. The entire square falls silent. Everyone holds their breath, waiting for a miracle that might appear. Gu Shengyin slightly lowers her head to look below, tens of thousands of people are making the same gesture: hands crossed over their foreheads, hoping the divinities they worship can favor them. She smiles, and then her form suddenly transforms. In everyone’s eyes, even those with impaired vision can “see” clearly the figure atop the distant altar. Her golden hair grows rapidly, soon reaching her ankles, her green robe changes style, and the green leaf embroidery on the hem gleams. Her eyes become emerald green, a crown beyond worldly description appears upon her forehead. In her hand, she holds a golden Scepter. Her face is magnificently exquisite, yet cannot linger in anyone’s memory for even a second. Gu Shengyin’s pair of green eyes, seemingly embracing all creations, slowly sweep over the crowd below. Gazed upon by such eyes, everyone feels a compulsion to worship. “My believers, greetings.” A cool voice like water gently reverberates in everyone’s ears. Like a tide, everyone fervently kneels down. The divinities have truly heard their call and descended. At this moment, no one doubts that the one standing on the altar is a divine being. Such majesty, such gaze, how could it not be a divinity? Even Phibit, unable to resist following instinct, unwillingly kneels toward Gu Shengyin. Then, he feels the divine gaze fall upon him. Phibit doesn’t dare to look up, heart pounding, unsure what the divinity intends to say to him. He feels he could pledge immediately, next year, no, starting tomorrow, to build more Temples of the Nature Goddess in the Lotte Empire, to continue spreading the faith of the Goddess. The Goddess of Nature speaks: “Ruler of the Lotte Empire, why do you not treat your people well?” What? Phibit is stunned. The Goddess of Nature continues: “Every day, I see the poor unclothed, hear the cries of infants, wanderers seeking a place to rest… Ruler of the Lotte Empire, you make your people suffer.” Phibit feels a vast Divine Might descend upon him, his face turning pale, nearly collapsing to the ground. Yet he persists in saying: “They are but lowly commoners, God, how can you question me because of them?” “Lowly? Commoners?” The Goddess of Nature’s voice echoes throughout the Lotte Empire, “In my eyes, there is no high or low, rich or poor, all who believe in me are my people.” The source of thɪs content is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽 Many are moved to tears by this revelation. Indeed, they are no less noble than anyone else. At least in the eyes of divinities, they are no less noble than anyone else. Phibit feels a chill course through his body. Then, he hears the indifferent tone of the divinity: “Phibit, unworthy to be the emperor of the Lotte Empire.” Seeing this chapter count is 1008, there’s an impulse to write it as 10086…
