CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 231: GODDESS OF ABUNDANCE: WHAT... IS HAPPENING TO ME? (4-IN-1)

"There should be sun, moon, and stars in the sky, marking the cycle of day and night."

...

When Rosa and the Cardinal returned to reality from that spectacle, they only felt a dizzying sense of soul detachment.

At this moment, she finally understood what kind of existence the black-haired young man who created the concept of Abundance truly was.

The creator of the Shining Era?

Given Rosa’s current status, she too was qualified to read ancient texts and understand some of the more obscure histories.

But soon, she denied this thought herself.

The creator of the Glorious Era, who took the title of Sun God.

Yet, the great presence that she glimpsed the tip of the iceberg could in no way be described by the venerable name of "Sun God".

Light and dark, sky, earth, and sea, as well as all the celestial bodies.

All of this, all of it, was clearly created by Him.

And moreover, not just this——

Rosa touched her forehead.

She felt that in her mind, just like when she first learned about that great item called "Jinkela".

Many new pieces of knowledge had entered, being engraved in her memory.

"Through hybrid cultivation methods... merging the best varieties of plants."

"Then, creating entirely new species with higher yields, and greater resistance to pests, cold, and heat."

The light in Rosa’s eyes gradually brightened.

Those hidden histories were indeed shocking, but ultimately they were just the past.

This knowledge was what truly delighted Rosa.

If——

The previously divine gift named "Jinkela" could only allow some residents of the kingdom to survive this famine, unable to truly change the kingdom’s situation.

Then, the knowledge she had gained now.

Was truly the key that could make the Kingdom of Lortala prosperous, forever free from the plague of famine.

...

Three years later.

Kingdom of Lortala, Royal Capital.

Church of Abundance headquarters.

In the square beneath the cathedral, amidst the mountain-like roar of the thousands present.

Rosa looked at the scepter and crown, symbols of the church leader, handed to her by the former Great Archbishop of the Religious Order of Abundance, but did not accept them.

"I do not need these things."

She said expressionlessly.

Then, Rosa turned to the bustling square below.

Looking at the citizens, now with rosy faces, no longer showing their previous haggardness, eyes lively.

On Rosa’s face, finally, a charming smile appeared that was somewhat unfit for her current status as a church leader but suited her identity as a young girl under twenty.

"I think, with the completion of hybrid rice cultivation."

"From today forth, famine and barrenness, these two words——"

"Are to be completely wiped from the kingdom’s dictionary."

She slightly turned her body.

Behind Rosa was the magnificent silver statue of the Goddess of Abundance, dignified and elegant.

But behind the statue of the Goddess of Abundance.

Now, a new statue stood tall.

Taller, more grand.

A black-haired, black-eyed young man, whose eyes were deep as an ancient spring.

Looking at the statue of the black-haired young man.

"The Origin of Abundance, Father of the Gods, Master of the Pantheon..."

"King of the Heavens, Emperor of the Sea, Divider of Light and Dark, Shepherd of the Stars..."

Rosa softly opened her mouth.

Then, uttered a sincere prayer.

"You are the one, also the many."

"Are the moment, also the eternity."

"Are the creator, also the sovereign."

"May Your will be done on earth, as it is in Your realm."

...

Astral Realm.

A palace infinitely prosperous, suspended at the sky’s edge.

"Pure-blood High Golden Elf."

"Is that the remnant of the Elven Royal Court from the Glorious Era?"

"Clearly, such a huge commotion occurred over five hundred years ago, yet didn’t expect remnants of that court still exist today."

From the luxurious throne, a pleasant whisper slowly emerged.

This was a voluptuous and charming woman, from under whose feet grew ears of wheat, surrounded by springs, wearing a crown woven of laurel leaves, her dress gracefully drifting outward, adorned with various fresh flowers.

Goddess of Abundance, Mother of the Earth.

As a deity born in the Glorious Era, she was also one of the first to regain sanity after the great catastrophe among the many fabled creatures that went half-mad, beginning to plan for the next Era.

Her current human-like appearance was solid proof.

Though the Goddess of Abundance’s true race wasn’t human... the era of demon wolves, giants, elves, and ancient dragons had already faded.

After the Age of Gods vanished, humanity’s rise became inevitable.

The years ahead belonged to the human race, and they were destined to become the new Sovereigns of the Western Continent, just as the phoenix, griffin, giants, and ancient dragons had done before.

This was the force of history, unyielding.

The Goddess of Abundance keenly sensed this force of history, thereby placing pieces early in the human kingdoms and adjusting her form to closely resemble humans.

And in the Goddess of Abundance’s rank, naturally, she also received the broadcast from Hathaway to the entire Astral Realm prior.

"Magic and Arcane Arts."

"The second path outside the Divine Ascension Steps..."

"This is completely denying the path of us deities, a declaration of war against us."

"It seems this war is inevitable."

The delicate brows of the Goddess of Abundance slightly furrowed.
