Time passed by quickly.
When the harvest season of the second year arrived, the people of the Roth Empire welcomed the Goddess of Nature's festival.
Gu Shengyin made ample preparations for this.
Emperor Phoebe had also made sufficient preparations. He still hoped that this ceremony would be able to calm the restless people down.
As the most famous oracle of the Goddess of Nature, Gu Shengyin stayed at the Goddess of Nature's temple in St. Vitus City.
As for the festivals in other places, they were also handled by different oracles.
Gu Shengyin had already discussed with Royd that they would bring a big gift to Phoebe and the entire Roth Empire.
On this day, Gu Shengyin was dressed very formally. Phoebe also led the royal family to the Goddess of Nature's temple in formal attire to show their respect.
The huge square of the temple was already densely packed with believers.
Among these believers, some were nobles in bright clothes. They wore exquisite clothes, and the ladies even sprinkled perfume, competing with each other to the side.
Most of them were ordinary people. The only thing they could do was to wear clean and tidy clothes, so as not to tarnish the Goddess of Nature's festival.
Gu Shengyin even "saw" homeless people on the streets who only had one set of clothes. In the cold wind of late autumn, they took off their clothes and carefully washed them, smoothed them out, and hung them out in the sun. At night, they slept in a pile of hay, shivering.
Many of the believers put their treasures into a huge container in the middle of the square.
This container was used to store the gifts that the believers gave to the Goddess of Nature.
It was a huge transparent glass container, and when things were put inside, they could be seen clearly.
Some nobles put their favorite jewelry inside, some merchants put a bag of gold coins inside, some young girls put their favorite flowers inside, and some children gave their favorite toys to the Goddess. They looked like they were about to cry, because their mothers told them that they must give their most precious things to the Goddess.
There were even farmers in simple clothes who put a small bag of food. For them, food that could keep them from starving was the most precious thing in the world.
Gu Shengyin kept a smile on her face as she watched all this, until the clock tower's bell rang, signaling the start of the festival.
At this moment, everyone in the square saw a green light sprinkle down from the sky, falling on everyone's body.
Being enveloped by this green light, everyone felt their body and mind relax.
Then, the glass container that carried the good wishes of the believers suddenly became empty.
The gifts that were given to the gods also disappeared at the same time as the green light disappeared.
"The Goddess of Nature has received your gifts." Gu Shengyin said to her believers with a smile.
Immediately, a burst of loud cheers erupted from the square.
Phoebe was a little dejected. He had just relied on his status and was unwilling to put the gifts into the container with the commoners. This way, the Goddess didn't see his gifts at all.
Then, Gu Shengyin began to stand alone on the high altar, chanting hymns.
All the believers maintained a pious posture.
According to the records, after this ceremony, if the Goddess was satisfied with this festival, she might personally descend.
The Goddess's descent.
This was the dream of all the believers.
There were more at night. Today, there were more chapters. Tonight, they would shamelessly ask for a wave of monthly votes.
