CHAPTER 1680: CHAPTER 530: TRUE AND FALSE GODDESS_4

Who exactly is it, Saina? The age doesn’t seem right, what does ’he’ mean, did the Goddess reincarnate into a god?

"After coming into contact with the Elemental Mantra, he awakened his memories and became one with me. Dissatisfied with the ruin of the Naturalism Church, he started a reform, cutting out the tumor that was Ludwig, and nominated Saina as the New Pope..."

The ’Goddess’s’ voice gradually became deeper, transitioning from female to male, and the once vague slender silhouette changed accordingly. The green luminescent veil dissipated, revealing the figure and face of Wayne.

"Hiss———" xN

Everyone was dumbstruck, instinctively taking a deep breath out of shock.

Dusa widened her eyes, she actually competed with this guy—no, this deity—in the Holy Maiden selection?

Tubie’s old face turned red. No wonder the talent was so impressive; it turns out it’s the descent of the Goddess—no, God—to the mortal world. That explains everything.

Speaking of which, he had been thinking about having the God of Nature succeed as the Great Prophet and had pestered for quite a while. Would the gates of the Divine Nation still be open for him?

More bluntly, could the God he worships be petty?

Gavin and Mula were momentarily stunned, their eyes wide as saucers.

During the Holy Maiden selection ceremony, Gavin evaluated Wayne as ’an outstanding and excellent junior,’ ’capable of injecting new vibrant blood into the decaying Church.’ When Wayne withdrew from the selection, Gavin was contemplating recruiting him into the Naturalist Knights Order, to eventually succeed him.

Junior, my foot; this Church belongs to him, even the Divine Nation does.

Mula recalled his first encounter with Wayne and his attitude toward Wayne on the Icebound Continent. From a senior’s perspective, his actions were commendable and flawless.

But the problem is, he’s not a senior; standing from a teacher’s angle, he trained his faith, constantly calling Wayne a student and praising his talent.

Weiwen, Beck, and Makarai, the three Insectoids, had no particular thoughts. They immediately looked at Saina, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

You slept with the God you believed in! x3

From every angle, this statement held true.

At this moment, everyone finally understood why faith took such good care of Saina. The female Pope had been intimately involved; she wasn’t an ordinary Pope; she was the God’s lover in the mortal world.

Everything made sense!

Saina stared, dumbfounded, at the handsome figure in the sky. She tried to piece things together, but couldn’t fathom the development, wondering if she was dreaming—and an absurd one at that.

The Goddess descended to the mortal world, became a student of her student. She attempted to control this student only to have the tables turned; driven by an unstoppable longing and admiration, she drew closer and closer.

Turns out I never betrayed my faith; I have always worshipped the same God!

Saina’s body trembled, then again, as she came to terms with the truth.

No one questioned the authenticity of the God of Nature above, the Divine Nation wouldn’t lie, the Subsidiary Gods wouldn’t lie, the Elemental Mantra wouldn’t lie, and the God himself certainly wouldn’t lie.

Wayne is the God... of Nature!

After the initial shock subsided, Wayne continued, "I realized my own identity and returned to the Divine Nation, reclaiming my divine position. However, the other half of me, remaining in the Divine Nation known as ’Yalien’, changed. She acquired the concept of Death, believing the cycle of Nature and Death constituted Life. She failed, becoming neither human nor ghost, hard to even be called a deity..."

"I battled her and succeeded in reclaiming the Divine Nation, but I couldn’t keep her. She, being my malevolent thought, possessed a power not inferior to mine and disappeared after escaping the Divine Nation."

"Summoning you today is about this matter. Should a self-proclaimed ’Nature Goddess’ named Yalien descend, do not resist. Obey her commands; her strength is beyond your resistance. I will appear to banish her."

"Don’t worry; obeying her doesn’t mean you acknowledge her. Your submission is due to her overwhelming power—a helpless choice. I’m not an unreasonable God and won’t doubt your loyalty because of it."

"But be cautious. My malevolent thought is committed to destroying the world. She cannot realize the God of Life; she misconstrues the essence of Evolution, swearing to destroy the world and annihilate humanity. She has already transformed into Death..."

"Wayne!!"

While everyone was listening in shock, Holy Maiden Dusa shouted in fury. Her immense aura erupted from her body, shattering the conference hall’s space and almost instantly killing everyone present.

A green light shielded everyone, sparing them from Death.

The audience stared in trepidation at the changed ’Dusa’, somewhat grasping the situation—a mix of deathly gray and vibrant green revealed the descent of the God of Nature’s malevolence.

"Yalien, you arrived just in time."

Wayne looked down from above, his gaze filled with pity and remorse: "Come back, you shouldn’t be tainted by Death. Abandon your thoughts of world destruction; unite with me again. This world is beautiful, and I won’t allow you to create slaughter wantonly."

"Nonsense, you’re a thief who stole the Divine Nation!"

Yalien was furious, wrathful, wanting to rush into the Divine Naturalism Kingdom and fight Wayne to the death. After meeting the Plague Knight, she contemplated her cards, considering how to stir a war of faith on the largest scale, soon realizing the Naturalism Church still held potential.

On the God-chosen Continent, wars were limited to nations, with no churches directly involved. Just a slight push, and everything would naturally escalate.

Darkness, Death, and Light obeyed Wayne’s command, forbidding internal strife. No matter; as long as the Naturalism Church provoked, one versus four could still expand the war’s scale.

Who could have expected that upon descending into the Holy Maiden’s body, she would see Wayne impersonating her, even denouncing her as malevolent?

With that imagination, why not write a novel!

"Yalien, look at your current self, admit it. There’s no true or false Goddess here, only a reborn God of Nature and a fallen malevolent Nature thought."

Wayne, high on the Divine Throne, murmured loudly: "I didn’t remove you from the Divine Nation; I always acknowledged your identity. If you abandon Death, we’ll eventually reunite because..."

"I bear a significant responsibility for your current state."

Those words were a killer, twisting Yalien’s entire face in rage.

A halo flashed, a green light broke through the sky, descending upon the conference hall.

Wayne floated down, facing the Yalien possessing the Holy Maiden. He opened his arms with full apology: "You are me, and I am willing to bear your sins. Please don’t vent your misunderstanding of Death upon ordinary people. Return, you are still the compassionate Nature Goddess, guarding the world’s beauty."

"Bastard, I will kill you!"

Boom!!!
