Chapter 659-6- Ascension to Godhood and Awakening
One hundred years after the Day of Divine Grace.
As the wheels of history continue to turn, the effects of those who were bathed in divine light are finally beginning to manifest.
Within a century, more and more elves have broken through to higher ranks, with Silver Moon, Blazing Sun, and even Legendary ranks increasing almost explosively.
Even in the mythological rank, a total of five new demigods have emerged, all of whom were elven elders who had personally witnessed the birth of the Oracle Twins in the Holy City.
Unbeknownst to many, the mythology possessed by the Elf race alone has already approached the twentieth mark!
As for why it is "approaching" rather than "breaking through", it is naturally because the war between the two continents has become increasingly fierce over the past hundred years, and even four mythical figures of the Elven race have fallen in the war of gods.
Even so, the Elven race now boasts a total of nineteen mythological figures, one more than when the war began.
Moreover, the strength of the Elven mythology beings has also improved rapidly in their struggle against the ancient gods of Miria, and the number of true gods has increased from three to five.
As the "Creator Goddess" revered by the entire Elf race, Charlotte received an incredibly generous reward of divine power, and the "True Ancestor Power" she accumulated was more than double what it was a hundred years ago.
What made Charlotte even more gratified was that as the elves' footprints began to extend deeper into the continent of Miria, her faith was also taken there by the elves.
Throughout Miria, believers gradually emerged who worshipped the Elven gods and revered the "Mother Goddess of Creation" as the source of all things.
Although the number is not large, it is enough for her to gain a foothold in the continent of Miria in the future.
……
The Holy City of Elves, Central Temple.
The Oracle Twins knelt before the throne, praying devoutly to the empty seat.
They have been at the legendary level for a full fifty years.
Fifty years is enough time for them to climb to the very pinnacle of the mortal world, just one step away from becoming a legend.
However, despite reaching the pinnacle of legend, they were unable to ignite their own divine flame.
All the elves eagerly awaited the ascension of the two children of the oracle to godhood. However, year after year passed, and even the elders who reached the pinnacle of legend later than them had ignited their divine flames, yet they had not yet found their own path to godhood.
If one doesn't become a legend, one is ultimately just a mortal.
The elves went from anticipation to doubt, and finally to disappointment.
Today, most elves no longer hold any hope that the Oracle Twins will ascend to godhood.
Even being the child of an oracle doesn't guarantee the creation of a myth.
This is the conclusion that many elves eventually reached.
Even the mythologists of the Elven race were extremely puzzled. In their view, the two sons of the oracle had long met the conditions for becoming gods, yet they were unable to ignite the divine fire. This strange situation baffled even the true gods, who could only sigh, "Perhaps this is the price of divine favor."
until today.
Are they... still praying before the throne?
Inside the Supreme Temple, Pallas, the current leader of the Elven race and also the first true god born from the Elven race—the god of wisdom and art—looked at the world map on the wall and spoke softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty Pallas, Artemis and Helios are still praying."
Behind him, Cres, the god of harvest and celebration, answered respectfully.
"Let them go. Their divine path is not in themselves, but elsewhere. They are ultimately children of the Mother Goddess's grace. If anyone can guide them on their divine path, it is probably only the great Mother Goddess of Creation."
Pallas, the god of wisdom and art, sighed.
Meanwhile, high in the sky...
Charlotte, whose gaze was fixed on the western continent, also took in everything that was happening in the elven holy city.
Pallas, the god of wisdom and art, is right.
Artemis and Helios's divine path was indeed not in themselves.
They will never be able to ignite their own divine fire, after all—their divine fire has been burning since the moment they were born.
They are born gods, born with divine fire, and myths that already possess divine fire cannot, of course, rekindle it.
Their power was simply sealed away by Charlotte.
If Charlotte wanted, she could unseal them at any time and allow them to ascend to godhood.
But Charlotte has not done so for a hundred years.
Charlotte's gaze fell on other parts of the western continent.
In remote areas not yet fully controlled by the elves, the belief in the ancient gods from the continent of Miria has gradually taken root within a century.
Even when faced with repeated exterminations by the elven gods, whether out of dissatisfaction with the status quo or bewitched by the old gods, intelligent beings, including elves, have changed their faith over the past hundred years and have been secretly growing stronger.
Those ancient gods of Miria, whose faiths were part of the overflow of primordial power, ultimately survived in the western continent, hiding in the shadows.
Faith is the vision of the divine.
Where faith reaches, the eyes of the gods are seen.
This is precisely why Charlotte has been sealing away the powers of Artemis and Helios.
They were ultimately reincarnated saints, inspired by the remnants of Lilith and Harald's souls. Although they were remnants of divine souls, they were still just remnants and could not perfectly control the power of the gods.
Moreover, even if the primordial pollution on their bodies is purified, they are still ultimately tainted by the aura of the "Creation Rank," and their incomplete divine souls cannot perfectly conceal this aura.
This aura was enough to attract the attention of the primordial god in advance, rendering all of Charlotte's efforts futile.
In addition, because they are bound by blood with Charlotte, the moment they regain their mythical status also signifies the return and revival of the gods.
They had all entangled with the primordial god. If they did not make thorough preparations in advance, the primordial power might exploit any loopholes in the process, ultimately causing the primordial will from before their transmigration to revive in their bodies through the return of the god.
Therefore, even though they had long since reached the pinnacle of legend, Charlotte had not broken their seal over the past hundred years.
until today.
Charlotte's gaze fell on the twins praying before the throne.
Unlike in the past, the light of their souls is now bright and full, which means that their souls have gradually become complete over the course of a hundred years of growth.
This means that even if they ascend to godhood, they can completely retract their own power and use Charlotte's true ancestor power to conceal or even ultimately devour the aura of the creation rank that they are tainted with.
Their souls were no longer remnants, but complete divine souls, no longer possessing any gaps that other divine powers could easily penetrate.
This also means that they are ready to "return".
Thinking of this, Charlotte looked at the two elves and gently pointed a finger:
“Come back, my… disciples.”
A dazzling light descended, and a brilliant pillar of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire firmament.
At this moment, the myths of the entire Western Continent were all awestruck by that magnificent power.
"This...this is..."
Pallas, the god of wisdom and art, suddenly contracted his pupils.
One after another, imposing figures appeared, all attempting to step into the temple where the glory descended.
However, let alone stepping inside, they were shocked to find, upon even approaching the temple, that their divine power was rapidly losing its strength in the magnificent radiance of that power.
They... seemed to have transformed into mortals in an instant.
At the same time, two dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, illuminating the starry sky like torches and transforming into bright starlight in the firmament.
Those were two divine flames.
"It's Artemis and Helios! It's them! They've lit the divine fire!"
Feeling the ever-rising divine power, the elven gods were incredibly excited.
Inside the temple.
Artemis and Helios were bathed in divine light, and the rolling divine fire burned on their bodies, eventually transforming into two noble and magnificent divine robes, one silver and one gold, which were draped over their bodies.
They opened their eyes, and the silver and gold divine fire slowly receded in their pupils, revealing a sense of vicissitude on their beautiful and handsome faces that did not match their appearance.
However, this air of world-weariness quickly transformed into boundless joy and affection upon seeing the silver-haired, crimson-eyed girl sitting on the divine throne, a sight that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"teacher……!"
On her divine throne, Charlotte, enveloped in divine light, smiled slightly:
"Welcome back, Lilith, Harald."
