The City of Baber was as lively as a pot of boiling porridge. It was not yet summer, but the whole city seemed to be on fire. The whole city was in a carnival.
"The Master of the Underworld, the Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom of the Dead, the Manager of Death and Souls!"
"May you grant us eternal life and an afterlife!"
Dozens of people in the city used carts and horses to drag the huge statue of the Grim Reaper, slowly transporting it to the plaza. The statue of the Grim Reaper, which was supposed to be terrifying and gloomy, was currently surrounded by so many people in broad daylight. Accompanied by music and dancing, as well as a rain of flowers, it seemed incomparably joyous.
Along the way, there were priests and believers of the Underworld sprinkling flowers and water everywhere. Many people were kneeling on the ground, or cheering as they followed the statue.
The believers of the Pusuote Dynasty were not afraid of death. For them, death was the continuation of life. In a sense, they believed that death and life were one. They preferred an afterlife, hoping to gain the favor of the gods and enter the Kingdom of the Dead. They wanted to imagine eternal life or an afterlife, although most people were not qualified to do so.
The square was full of believers of the Heavenly Temple. These believers were dressed in loose clothes that belonged to the Batko area. Most of their clothes were relatively simple, exposing their arms or the lower half of their calves. Men, women, and children gathered in the square, sitting cross-legged and listening to the temple priests reading the Book of the Living and preaching the doctrine of the Heavenly Temple of the Underworld and the afterlife.
There were even more priests who were wearing long robes, singing songs and dancing to pray to the gods. Flowers were scattered all over the ground, and the music was melodious. There were ceremonies everywhere in the city. The city gate was wide open, welcoming all the believers who were heading to the City of Baber. A large number of soldiers and priests were maintaining order in the temple. Groups of believers could be seen praying everywhere.
In the square, in the temple, in the ruins, in front of the statue, there were believers praying and kneeling on the ground. The Pusuote Dynasty had been established for nearly two hundred years, and the belief of the Heavenly Temple was deeply rooted in this area. For ordinary people, Cetisius was not only a king, but also a god.
The population in the city was extremely dense. During this period of time, the entire huge City of Baber had been visited by nearly a hundred thousand people, and the number was still increasing. In the city, there were places where people lived and distributed food. In order to hold this Festival of Death, the Pusuote Dynasty had made perfect preparations.
"What a powerful dynasty!"
Jonathan was wearing a coat, a top hat, and a cane. He followed the team of envoys from the City Alliance of Sheehan. In addition to the politicians of the City Alliance of Sheehan, Jonathan, Marina, and several alchemy warlocks were also with them. Marina was the most eye-catching one among them.
As soon as they entered the City of Baber, they attracted a lot of attention. Priests from the divine temples immediately came to greet them, and there were many people staring at them. Ms. Marina was in their group, but no one mentioned her identity. It was as if she was just an ordinary person who came with the group of envoys.
As they entered the city, Marina kept looking around. Temple priests came to visit. She saw many people looking around. She saw that Marina was an ordinary person who had come of Baber. Marina of of of people. She looked around. God Kingdom of Baras she of as. as of, as of of Of the City of the city of Of Valley.
However, Marina wasn't paying attention to these things. Instead, she seemed to have seen some familiar figures. Marina even saw some people who were at the top of the list of blasphemers from the three major churches. They had used this opportunity to sneak into the City of Baber.
"Are they all here?" Marina felt that some information that she was not sure about before seemed to have been confirmed. After all, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall, especially when the Pusuote Dynasty had made such a big move. With such a big arrangement, it was easy for people to guess what they were up to.
The next day, they saw King Cetisius of the Pusuote Dynasty. He was a legendary existence. All the envoys were watching the king from the corners of the palace. Inside the palace, a large number of temple priests were sitting with their legs crossed. Looking down, the whole city looked like a sea of believers of the Temple of Sky.
Hundreds and thousands of Underworld Priests occupied the entire palace, surrounding and protecting Cetisius like stars surrounding the moon. A large number of Extraordinaires sat on their knees around the king. Even though this ordinary-looking old man did not say a word, the power he exuded at this moment was enough to make those with ulterior motives tremble in fear!
The king's majestic eyes glanced at everyone who had come here, and everyone lowered their heads. Even though he could see that there were alchemists, wizards, and people with extraordinary bloodlines who had come here to participate in this ceremony, he did not take it seriously at all.
"Because this is the City of Baber!"
"This is the capital of the Pusuote Dynasty!"
"This is a place shrouded by the glory of the gods!"
Jonathan suddenly remembered the words of the priest who had received them. Looking at the layers of underworld priests gathering, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Although he knew that the Pusuote Dynasty would not do anything to them in such a grand ceremony, he was still afraid of such a powerful force.
Jonathan could not help but look at Ms. Marina, who was next to him. He felt a little comforted and relieved. At this moment, Marina was staring at Cetisius with a serious look on her face.
"The peak of level four! No wonder he is an ancient being! His mind power scale is close to one thousand!"
As the bell rang, a huge bell sound came from the top of the palace. The whole city echoed the bell sound, and the praises of the gods sounded in the palace. Music and drums were playing at the same time.
The believers outside the city all looked at the palace, and the sound of prayers filled the whole sky. A strong power of faith seemed to have gathered and covered the whole City of Baber, infecting everyone!
Cetisius was sitting under the statue, and the two main gods were looking at Cetisius at the same time.
"Cetisius!"
"Cetisius!"
The underworld priests shouted Cetisius's name at the same time. The music sounded, and everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs. They were standing under Cetisius's feet, and they were singing the praises of Cetisius.
After the first shout, the whole city was shouting Cetisius's name at the same time. The sound was like a tsunami, and all the believers fell into extreme fanaticism. Hundreds of thousands of people were shouting the same name at the same time, and it seemed that this name was endowed with a special power.
"Ding-dong!"
All of a sudden, Jonathan felt that the air in the whole City of Baber was frozen. It was as if a strong power was gathering with the chanting and pouring into this name, giving it a different name.
Countless lines gathered in the palace, and the whole palace looked like a huge picture of the Death Godhood. However, it was slightly different from the Death Godhood Foundation on the model of the World Tree. A lot of power of faith went through it, and it condensed into a special symbol. This was Cetisius's name, and it was the holy title of Cetisius.
Suddenly, Cetisius's soul seemed to be ignited. The black symbol carried a special power of faith, and it rushed into Cetisius's soul, igniting it and transforming it into a special form.
The black power flowed out of Cetisius's body and filled the whole palace. All the underworld priests were still chanting Cetisius's name, and they were even singing the praises of Cetisius.
At this moment, Cetisius was at the highest point of the palace. His body was constantly overflowing with the black power of death. Countless believers were chanting his name below. From top to bottom, hundreds of thousands of people were prostrating at his feet, as if he was a god.
All the guests who participated in the ceremony were looking up at Cetisius, who was standing under the statue. They could see that his power was spreading, and there seemed to be a fire burning inside his soul. Black divine power kept flowing out of his body, and it kept expanding under the influence of the power of faith.
Jonathan was trembling, and he stared at Cetisius with his eyes wide open. "Condense the name, ignite the divine fire, and transform the divine body!"
"Sure enough, is it really like this?"
"Condense the Godhood, he … he is becoming a god?"
Everyone who had already received the news was now stunned as they looked at Cetisius, whose power was constantly expanding and changing. Flames quickly enveloped his body and a huge black shadow drilled out of his body.
The power of faith, under the chanting of the entire city, continued to converge toward the center. The faith of hundreds of thousands of people condensed into Cetisius's body. Cetisius's soul quickly completed the condensation of the divine name. After that, he successfully ignited the divine fire. The divine fire covered his entire body. The state of Cetisius's soul kept changing, transforming into the state of a god's body.
"God Spirit Body!"
At this moment, Marina also stood up and looked at the changes that were happening to Cetisius's body in shock. This was the first time that humans had personally witnessed someone take a step towards becoming a God. With the body of a mortal, he had touched the realm of an Eternal God.
"Touching the Eternal Star with the body of a mortal!"
Jonathan didn't know why, but he thought of this sentence again. He looked at the black shadow that was constantly flowing out of Cetisius's body, and the entire huge palace seemed to have been dyed black by the underworld. Fear, longing, and expectation flashed in Jonathan's eyes!
Aside from that, a large number of people who were hiding in the City of Baber and watching the Festival of Death were also looking at the palace in shock. The huge palace was completely covered by a black light shield, and no one could see what was going on inside. However, everyone could feel that a strong wave was brewing inside, and it seemed like it was going to explode at any moment.
The black shadow drilled out of Cetisius's body and formed a huge God Spirit Shadow that was holding the Book of the Dead. It struggled out of Cetisius's body, and as the power of prayers and faith continued to gather, it quickly expanded and stood up. It slowly flowed out of the palace and stood in the center of the entire City of Baber.
The God Spirit Shadow, which was hundreds of meters tall, occupied the center of the entire city, and it looked like a giant looking down at the entire city. Its huge black robe fluttered in the wind, and it floated above the city like a cloud. It was as if a real God had descended, and wherever it looked, its followers would scream and scream, and those who were worried about it would tremble in fear!
"He really took this step!"
Many people who were watching in the dark were overjoyed. Cetisius's success told them that this step was possible, and that success could be replicated.
The Festival of Death lasted for a whole month before it ended. The news that Cetisius had successfully ignited the Godly Fire and formed the body of a God had already spread all over the world before the festival ended.
