CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 231: GODDESS OF ABUNDANCE: WHAT... IS HAPPENING TO ME? (4-IN-1)

Soon, the God-given artifact known as "Jinkela," along with its formula and method of creation, spread like a tidal wave.

In this era, there is no internet, and due to the poverty of the Kingdom of Lortala, even the dissemination of letters is severely restricted. The most extensive means of spreading information is through word of mouth.

However—

As the saying goes, ’food is the primary need of the people.’

In this kingdom long plagued by barrenness and famine, everyone harbors a deep yearning for abundance and a bountiful harvest.

This is the result of the combined efforts of the Abundance Cult and the upper nobility of the kingdom and the royal family—

A truly prosperous kingdom, where, when all citizens no longer worry about food and warmth, they will then seek higher spiritual needs, and naturally, their faith will turn to the god of music, the god of drama, and such.

Only in a nation long barren and entrapped by famine do the citizens fully devote themselves to praying for a good harvest, making their faith in abundance more devout.

However, these machinations have provided a fertile ground for Rosa’s actions at this moment.

After all, within the Kingdom of Lortala, there’s not a single farmer who doesn’t wish for their land to be more bountiful and their harvest more plentiful.

One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred.

Soon—

"Divinely Favored One"

"Recipient of the Greatest Divine Revelation"

"Executor of Miracles"

So many titles quickly fell upon Rosa, a humble farmer’s daughter from the countryside.

And Rosa did not deny such titles.

She indeed considered herself to have received a Divine Revelation, becoming the so-called Divinely Favored One.

However—

The giver of that favor and grace was not the Mother Goddess of Abundance as the world imagined.

Instead, it was a far more exalted being than the Mother of Abundance... a great existence that created everything, even defining the concept of abundance itself.

But Rosa was not foolish.

That great existence that defined abundance is undoubtedly a significant secret and taboo of the Ancient Era, as the lack of any stories or names about them circulating is ironclad proof.

If she were to recklessly announce this name, it would surely arouse the vigilance of the Abundance Cult that now controls the Kingdom of Lortala.

Precisely because of this—

Rosa, while leveraging her status as Divinely Favored in spreading such miracles throughout the kingdom,

was also carefully and patiently selecting trustworthy confidants among her followers, and then passing on the name of that great existence who created abundance.

No matter from which angle one looks, what she was doing was no different from the ’heresy’ spoken of by the Abundance Cult.

However, Rosa firmly believed.

Just as that great black-haired, black-eyed existence said, the definition of the word abundance was distorted by the Mother Goddess.

And what she needed to do was to correct that past mistake.

Then, reveal the ancient truth to the world.

...

A year passed.

Once again, Rosa stood in front of the Church of Abundance.

This time, unlike a year ago when she arrived here in such poverty, cautious and careful,

there were now many followers gathered around Rosa.

Among them were the most ordinary farmers, as well as Transcendents who had stepped beyond the ordinary, and even some small nobles.

Transcendents and nobles indeed belong to the upper echelons of this kingdom, but not all of them chose to join the interest community of the Abundance Cult and the royal family.

Among them were also those determined to change the impoverished state of the Kingdom of Lortala, yet the situation created by the joint efforts of the Abundance Cult and the royal family rendered them powerless despite their ambitions.

But at this moment, from Rosa, they saw hope.

Hope for making their homeland prosperous, for freeing the people from the suffering of famine, and for leading a life of ample food and clothing.

"Divinely Favored Rosa."

Inside the Church of Abundance, an elderly man in a red cardinal robe, with ears of wheat and laurel leaves embroidered on the chest, looked at Rosa, who still wore a simple robe, not very tall, even appearing a bit thin and small.

In those ancient eyes, there was a faint trace of vigilance.

"In the past, each time Mother Earth granted divine favor and revelation, we, the Apostles of Abundance, would also receive vague prophecies and insights, which served as clues for us to find the newly awakened Divinely Favored One."

"But this time, we did not receive any revelation regarding Divinely Favored Rosa you."

The Cardinal of the Abundance Cult turned his body slightly, glancing at those followers of Rosa outside the church, his eyes filled with even deeper caution.

"Emotionally, I am inclined to believe that you, Rosa, indeed received the favor of Mother Earth."

"However, my duty as an Apostle of Abundance requires me to verify your identity further."

He looked at the small figure of Rosa before him, speaking slowly.

"The greatest difference between a Divinely Favored One and ordinary followers is that, as one favored by the Lord, you can receive the Lord’s revelation through prayer."

"So, I hope you, Divinely Favored Rosa, will join me in praying before the idol of the Mother Goddess for a new revelation."

The new doctrine Rosa spread among her followers—

includes that great existence which created the Goddess of Abundance and defined the concept of abundance itself.
