Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 558: Chapter 319: Dare to Eat It All_1
 

The Soul Oath is inviolable. Sure, some can deceive their own soul, thus cheating the Soul Oath, but there’s no way someone as straightforward as Ange could succeed in doing it. This requires skill on par with someone like Anthony.

As for the Lord of Terror? Such subpar skills, only reaching the level of standard demonic tricks.

So the Goddess of Redemption was booted out, narrowly escaping with her life.

…

“So this is the inside of the Holy Kingdom. Turns out you must take the Celestial Staircase to get in. And here I was thinking about digging a hole,” meditated Negris as he just emerged from the Celestial Staircase.

The Holy Kingdom is an inverted semi-circle, hanging over the Resting Abyss, its flat side covered in structures. Squares, temples, all on this plain, surrounded by a protruding barrier that makes it a perfect circle.

They’d never been inside this ‘bowl’ before because they couldn’t find an entrance. Was it solid?

If they had enough time and manpower, Negris intended to dig a tunnel to see what was underneath. No one knew what was inside the Celestial Kingdom. If it was solid that would be one thing, but what if it wasn’t?

Now it knew why they couldn’t find an entrance. It had to be accessed through the Celestial Staircase, which could directly transport beings inside without a door needed.

That’s right, the Celestial Staircase could transfer between dimensions, so isn’t it easier to be transported inside?

Here is a massive underground space, as if the interior of the ‘bowl’ has been hollowed out.

From the spot where they were transported, a metal pathway stretched out into this void.

In the middle of the space, a spherical iron ball was suspended. It glowed with a sacred radiance and had a diameter of several tens of meters. The shell of the sphere, covered with various intricate, exquisite demon symbols, was slowly flashing.

Seeing those demon symbols, Negris couldn’t help but frown. Others might not recognize them, but he did. All were indicative of seals, shields, or limits. They were array systems for demon symbols, densely assembled.

“So many sealing demon symbols? What in the heavens? Even if you wanted to seal the God of Light in there, you wouldn’t need so many symbols,” Negris blurted out.

The number of demon symbols doesn’t directly correlate with their effect, but having an adequate number is necessary for the effect to occur. In any case, the densely engraved symbols on the sphere’s shell were truly intimidating.

The sphere wasn’t a single unit. Instead, it was formed by many irregular patches welded together, with gaps between them. These gaps were bolted together by massive rivets, leaving openings where the rivets didn’t reach.

The sacred glow emanated from within those cracks.

A total of eighteen massive iron chains held the sphere aloft, chains in all directions securely fixing it to the end of the pathway.

These massive iron chains appeared not only to serve the purpose of suspending and securing, but also formed an energy circuit. Occasionally, the demon symbols on the chains would glow, transporting a stream of light somewhere along the chain.

After seeing all of this, Negris was disappointed. “That’s it? They dug such a huge underground space just to hang a ball? Decorating it with a bunch of sealing symbols just to impress? For a moment there, I thought the God of Light was sealed inside.”

While grumbling he flew in front of the huge iron sphere, peering into the cracks between the sphere’s shell.

With the sphere’s diameter being several tens of meters, the gaps between the shell were quite wide. For Negris, with his small stature, there wouldn’t be a problem even if he wanted to crawl in.

However, when he took a peek, Negris slumped and plonked down to the ground with his wings drooping.

Ange looked at him confusedly.

“Light, light, light…” Negris, uncharacteristically flustered, was pointing and stuttering, struggling to articulate a complete sentence.

Light what? Ange peeked and as soon as his eye moved over the gap, he could immediately sense a powerful force contained within the sphere, not leaking out at all. Only when Ange peered from the gap could he comprehend its terrifying nature.

The God of Light, the Creator God, Supreme God – the Trinity of the Master God, is sealed inside,” Negris finally managed to utter.

The God of Light? Ange tilted his head, confused.

“The God of Light, Creator God, Supreme God – the Trinity’s Master God, they’re sealed in there.” Negris took another peek, then declared it definitively.

Ange tilted his head again, still not understanding.

Negris had to explain in detail, his voice betraying a suppressed excitement.

“The Church of Light has three Master Gods: the God of Light, the Creator God, the Supreme God. I thought they were all real entities, but it seems not. They’re more like tools for gathering faith. After collecting the faith of believers, it is distributed to the Gods of Light. What a brilliant idea!” Negris praised, pinching his claws together.

How did the Gods of Light unite? This had puzzled Negris during his studies on becoming a god. There is a human saying: it’s not about all of us earning one gold coin, it’s whether some earn a hundred while others only one.

A system that cannot distribute fairly is hard to maintain. That’s why many religions have only one god, but the Church of Light is an exception, they have many Gods of Light.

How did the Gods of Light cooperate without internal disputes? Now Negris had found the answer. The three Master Gods were just tools to distribute Faith Elemental Force, and they were ‘Trinity’; three names but only corresponding to one godly existence.
