The election lasted for four days.
The first to ignite Athens was the Sacred Flame of Parthenon from Asia.
The Sacred Flames from the affiliated temples of the Parthenon Temple across the Five Continents would travel across the ocean. The affiliated temples would write their supporters into the Sacred Flames, and a group of loyal Adjudicators would escort the Sacred Flames all the way from Greece to Athens to ensure that the Sacred Flames would not encounter any mishaps.
A total of five Sacred Flames had arrived on the same day. The five Sacred Flames represented the official start of the election!
"Our compatriots from the southern end of the Pacific Ocean, Australia, they are willing to support Saintess Ye Xinxia as our Goddess," the old priest Falmer announced loudly.
The Sacred Flames lit up. Many fire spirits that looked like dragonflies flew toward Ye Xinxia's statue, setting off her gentle and serene appearance.
"They are from America, North America, and South America. They are willing to support Saintess Iza as our Goddess," the old priest Falmer continued.
Each Sacred Flame arrived at a different time, and would be announced as soon as it arrived.
There had been incidents in the past where the Sacred Flames were intercepted, but that was a few hundred years ago when the conspiracy was still on the table. Currently, the Shrines of the Five Continents would not let others know about their route, nor would they let outsiders know about their support.
The ratio of support for the day was three to two.
Ye Xinxia had received the support of the Shrines of Asia, Australia, and Europe, thus she had a certain advantage.
…
Many people could not fall asleep for the whole night. Even though the result of the Sacred Flames was expected by many insiders, the initial advantage could easily influence the public opinion.
However, the next day, the people who were worried about the outcome could not help but smile.
The announcement today was about the support of the major Magic Organizations from all over the world.
In terms of connections and power, Iza was obviously superior to Ye Xinxia. The Magic Organizations from all over the world were more willing to support Iza as the Goddess. Iza had won the contest, completely suppressing the public opinion from the day before.
"The Hunter's Union, the Magic Associations of the Five Continents, and the Ocean Alliance are all willing to support Iza …"
"There are also many countries that have close relations with Iza."
"If it weren't for the Victoria Family and their related factions standing firmly on Ye Xinxia's side, today's contest would've made it impossible for Ye Xinxia to become the Goddess."
"Iza's focus is on diplomacy."
"In that case, Ye Xinxia is still at a disadvantage. After all, she lacks the support of too many authoritative magic organizations, especially the Magic Associations of the five continents. Except for Australia, all of them support Iza. Ye Xinxia can't even convince the Asian Magic Association?"
Today's results gave Ye Xinxia's supporters a huge shock. Iza's diplomatic influence could be said to be terrifying. Not only did she make up for yesterday's disadvantage, she might even win because of this huge lead!
Some people were happy, while others were sad. The final result was related to the interests of too many people. Iza had obtained a huge advantage, which caused another round of praises for Iza.
… …
The restless night finally passed. On the third day of the election, the old shaman announced the internal support of Parthenon!
Internal support was also decisive. If the internal support was the same, or Iza was in the lead, then the Goddess would definitely be Iza!
"I am the Master of the Hall of Knights, Hai Long."
"I have sworn to be loyal to the Saintess Ye Xinxia."
Hai Long announced his intention of support in front of the two statues. His words had already indicated that once Iza became the Goddess, he, the Master of the Hall of Knights, would have to leave.
But internal support was always like this. If you made the wrong choice, you would be doomed eternally. There was no such thing as neutrality in Parthenon. It was either glory or fall!
"We are willing to be loyal to the Saintess Ye Xinxia!" The Golden Sun Knights announced loudly.
"We are willing to be loyal to the Saintess Ye Xinxia!" The Silver Moon Knights announced loudly.
"We are willing to be loyal to the Saintess Ye Xinxia!" The Blue Star Knights announced loudly.
The Hall of Knights represented the strongest military force of the Parthenon Temple, and they were all supporting Ye Xinxia as the new Goddess. Their overwhelming aura spread across the city of Athens, and once again, the outcome of the election was greatly different.
The internal situation of Parthenon was very clear.
Only the Hall of Judgement supported Iza, and the other three halls followed Ye Xinxia!
Today's action could be said to have swept away the arrogance of Iza's supporters yesterday. Everyone thought that Parthenon seemed to have belonged to Ye Xinxia, the person with the soul!
The three-day election was full of ups and downs in the eyes of outsiders, but in the hearts of Iza and Ye Xinxia, it was very clear.
They knew very well that this was the final result. The internal and external votes of both sides were very likely to be tied in the end.
However, it was impossible for Parthenon to have two Goddesses, and it was impossible for them to always have two Saintesses.
"Athens has always maintained the tradition of democracy and fairness. Even though most of the Goddesses in the past were chosen with an overwhelming advantage, it's different this time. It means that we have two outstanding candidates for the position of the Goddess. Both of them are outstanding. No matter who becomes the Goddess in the end, they will bring endless glory to the Parthenon Temple," the old priest, Farmo, declared loudly.
His voice was enchanted, so everyone could hear him no matter where they were in the city.
The result of the tie meant that the final election would enter a special stage.
Many people had expected this stage.
"Since they are both outstanding, whether internally or externally, the Goddess will be decided by us in the end. Black robes and black skirts of Athens, who are you willing to support? Give us the final answer. The people's will is the will of God! "the old priest Farmo said to everyone in the city of Athens.
The people's will is the will of God!
The final decision was left to the city.
Every resident of Athens had the right to vote.
As a matter of fact, it was the oldest way to elect the Goddess. At first, the Goddess was chosen by the people of Athens.
However, after a few thousand years, the Goddess gradually became the focus of the world. The votes of the people of Athens were no longer a factor.
After such a long time, even the people of Athens had forgotten that they had the right to vote for the Goddess. They had even become the key to the selection of the Goddess. The whole city was in an uproar!
"Right now, your decision is the will of God. The glorious people of God, please listen to the true call of your heart, and tell us who is the Daughter of God of the Parthenon Temple!" Old Priest Farmo said.
