As Lu Zhiyu placed his hand on Cetisius's forehead, Cetisius felt that endless knowledge and power were constantly pouring into his mind and soul through the palm of God. He was inexplicably touched and happy.
"This is God's revelation. I have received God's enlightenment, and He has chosen me as His spokesperson!"
As the black sun of the underworld was gradually completed, Cetisius opened his eyes and immediately saw that the power had broken free from his body and covered the entire hall. The underworld space that belonged to Cetisius was spread out, and the projection of the sun of the underworld appeared in the sky.
At this time, the people in Pusuote found that as the sun set, a strange round of sun slowly rose from the top of the sky temple. A large number of priests poured out of the temple. Whether they were praying or working, they were all looking at the towering great temple in the center of the temple.
"What is that?"
"Is that the sun?"
"How can there be a black sun?"
At this moment, all the people of Pusuote came out of the streets and alleys. Whether they were nobles, merchants, peddlers, or slave farmers, they all looked at the rising black sun in horror. They didn't understand how such a thing could happen.
However, they knew that the sun rose from the direction of the temple. The power and light of the sun radiated to the whole city of Pusuote, making everyone feel as if their souls were being touched. That was because the structure of their consciousness was attracted to the sun. Although the living couldn't feel the light of the sun of the underworld, their consciousness and souls could feel its warmth.
"That's the direction of the temple!"
"Miracle! This is a miracle!"
At that moment, the noise and commotion of the outside world were completely separated from the tranquility of the Great Temple. Lu Zhiyu looked at Cetisius as he slowly stood up. Their eyes met. Cetisius's tears were streaming down his cheeks. He had sensed something.
"Are you going to leave?"
Lu Zhiyu retracted his hand, and his wide white robe fell to cover his palm. His white robe dragged on the ground as he stood outside the side corridor of the great temple.
The night wind blew Lu Zhiyu's robe, and the stars in the sky seemed to shine at the same time. The starlight sprinkled in the temple.
"The God of Heaven controls the world of the sky!
The God of Death controls the underworld of death!
"And you, Cetisius, are in charge of the human world!"
As soon as Lu Zhiyu finished speaking, his body and clothes fluttered in the wind, as if they were being eroded. Gradually, they turned into smoke and disappeared into the air. As Cetisius watched Lu Zhiyu disappear, his whole body trembled with excitement, and his breathing became rapid.
"Please don't leave!"
"We all need your salvation. Everyone in Batko is looking forward to your salvation!"
Lu Zhiyu didn't say a word. Cetisius looked into Lu Zhiyu's eyes and seemed to understand something. He smiled, pure and innocent, like a newborn child.
"The gods live in the sky, the dead return to the earth, and the living exist on the earth. I am the one who will save Batko!"
With Lu Zhiyu's disappearance, all the bronze gargoyles in the temple disappeared, and the temple of the sky began to develop rapidly, as if it had broken free from its shackles.
Under Cetisius's leadership, the holy book of the temple of the sky was finally compiled. It was divided into three volumes, namely, the Book of the Gods, the Book of the Living, and the Book of the Dead. The Book of the Living was widely publicized as the bible for the gods to guide the human world. It was also used by the priests of the temple of the sky as a guiding bible to all believers and people.
The book described Cetisius's ideal country. After death, people would enter the underworld to be judged by good and evil. The good ones would enter reincarnation and enjoy the afterlife, while the evil ones would be tortured forever. There were also a lot of debates about law and philosophy, which were used by Cetisius to regulate the behavior and mind of his believers.
The Book of the Dead recorded the inheritance of the divine incantations of the underworld and priests. Only those who had Cetisius's permission could obtain the inheritance and become priests who mastered the divine incantations. Only Cetisius knew the contents of the Book of the Gods. It was said that this book could allow people to enter the kingdom of the gods, which was a realm that mortals couldn't reach. It could allow people to transcend the cycle of life and death and avoid the judgment of good and evil.
With the completion of the three Bibles, the ideas and beliefs of the entire Temple of Heaven were completely unified, and Cetisius's prestige grew to the extreme. Not only did everyone in the Temple of Heaven admire his ideas and noble character, but all the believers in the Pusuote area also knew his name and called him the Saint of the World.
At this time, the high priest of the temple of the sky was still Anke Pusuote, the first high priest selected by Lu Zhiyu. Anke Pusuote, the first high priest since the establishment of the temple of the sky, had now become a person who limited the development of the temple of the sky. He was also an important obstacle to Cetisius's desire to expand the faith and vision of the temple of the sky.
Anke Pusuote was now not only the high priest of the temple of the sky, but also the leader of the Pusuote tribe and the Pusuote clan. He had great influence in the Pusuote area and held the monarchical and divine power.
The growing prestige of Cetisius and the various legends that were circulating among ordinary people made Anke Pusuote gradually suspicious of his loyal subordinate. Perhaps from the moment that Cetisius received the inheritance of the gods, Anke Pusuote's heart was filled with deep jealousy.
"Why? Why not me? It's that humble and small slave! "
"I am the high priest of the temple of the sky!"
"This is not fair!"
Anke Pusuote questioned himself countless times in his heart. He was afraid of losing his position, as he liked the feeling of being high up and being looked up to by everyone. All of this was eroding him like a drug, which made him even more afraid that Cetisius would take away everything from him. As such, he began to suppress Cetisius's power and prohibit his words from spreading within the temple of the sky.
Moreover, with the completion of the compilation of the holy book, the influence of the temple of the sky increased day by day, gradually radiating to the various tribes around Pusuote. More and more people began to accept the faith of the temple of the sky. Everyone began to become believers of the temple of the sky. The people inside the temple and the believers believed that all of this was due to Cetisius's efforts.
It was he who, at all costs, personally led the priests of the temple of the sky to various poor villages and towns, preaching his own beliefs to the tribes of other faiths, which made the temple of the sky grow stronger.
This statement made Anke Pusuote extremely angry. In everyone's eyes, he was just a high priest who enjoyed the fruits of others' labor. No one knew how much effort he had put into the development of the temple. He had fought several foreign wars and diplomatic games, which were all thanks to him. However, none of this was recognized by others!
"I also contributed to the development of the temple. He was just lucky enough to get the inheritance of the gods and compile the holy book," Anke Pusuote said.
"Why? Why can't my hard work be recognized? That slave's little kindness is enough to make those guys feel grateful and engraved in their hearts! "
The battle between Anke and Cetisius was getting more and more intense. Originally, it was private, but now it was getting more and more public. Within the temple of the sky, there were also two factions. Cetisius still respected Anke, his former master. Needless to say, he was the first high priest appointed by the gods, so his position was unshakable.
Cetisius's faith and morality also determined that he would never use ugly and shady means to deal with Anke Pusuote. However, as the internal struggle within the temple of the sky became more and more intense, the situation had begun to tilt towards the side that Cetisius feared and did not want to see.
Then, when the internal contradictions accumulated to the peak, it was finally time to break out.
