Chapter 273 The Villain Lady Arrives 101
At this time, King Lanster stood quietly not far away, watching coldly everything that happened in the square.
He did not have a deep belief in the God of Light, nor did he have much affection for Alice and the others. But now it seemed that these so-called "messengers of the God of Light" did not seem to have much real ability, but instead created a series of troubles.
Looking at the painful expressions of the people, Lanster felt no sympathy or pity in his heart, but instead an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
He always believed that the suffering of these people had nothing to do with him, and he only needed to care about his own power and interests. However, he also understood that if this situation continued, it might pose a threat to his rule. Therefore, he needed to find a solution to solve this problem.
Lanster was silent for a while when he heard the minister beside him suggest asking Princess Vivian to solve this problem. Vivian was his daughter and had become a god for half a year, but he hadn't seen her for a long time. However, thinking of his daughter's divine power, he nodded and agreed to the request.
"Pass the order and contact Her Highness Vivian." He ordered. He didn't have much trust in the Church of Light, but in the current situation, he obviously had other better options.
As King Lanster's order fell, the ministers in the hall moved quickly, with a look of nervousness and expectation on their faces. An elderly advisor, holding a magic scroll inlaid with bright gems, slowly walked towards the altar in the center of the hall. This scroll was specially made for communicating with the gods, and a faint light flowed on it, as if it contained the power to communicate between heaven and earth.
"In the name of His Majesty, open the gate to the divine realm." The old advisor chanted a spell and gently touched the scroll with both hands. A warm and powerful magic surged from his body and poured into the scroll. Instantly, the gems on the scroll began to flicker, and the light gathered into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky, breaking the tranquility above the palace.
At the same time, Vivian, who was far away in the kingdom of God, was immersed in a peaceful and tranquil environment. Her divine body floated in the void, surrounded by a soft glow, which was a symbol of her unique power as a god. Suddenly, she felt a strong call from the mortal world, and the familiar and slightly urgent breath made her frown slightly.
"Is it my father's call?" Vivian thought to herself, and then she waved her sleeves lightly, and a projection of consciousness slowly formed under her control, ready to cross the barrier between the divine and mortal worlds and descend to the Kingdom of Lanster.
When Vivian's consciousness projection penetrated the clouds and appeared above the Lanster Palace, the entire square and even the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a faint holy light. The people looked up, their eyes full of awe and expectation. They knew that this was their princess, Her Highness Vivian, who had now been promoted to a god.
"Greetings to Her Highness Vivian!" The ministers knelt on the ground one after another, their voices filled with sincere respect and gratitude. Although the people in the square could not actually kneel down, they also bowed their heads and prayed silently in their hearts.
Vivian's eyes swept down, and when she saw the people in the square struggling in pain and losing their faith, she couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. She sighed softly, and although the sound was light, it seemed to penetrate everyone's heart and give them a little comfort.
"Father, what is going on?" Vivian's voice rang in King Lanster's ears. Only he could hear the whispers from the divine world.
King Lanster looked up at the projection in the sky, with a complicated look in his eyes. "Vivian, these 'messengers of the God of Light' have not brought light and hope as we wished, but have plunged the people into deeper despair. I know that you have boundless power, and you may be able to save them from the dire straits."
Vivian frowned upon hearing this. She knew the power of faith, and also understood the chaos and despair that followed the collapse of faith. She pondered for a moment and decided to go down to the mortal world in person to find out the truth and find a solution.
"Father, let me see what caused all this." Vivian's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness.
King Lanster nodded, with a hint of relief and expectation in his eyes. His daughter never made promises easily, but once she made a decision, she would go all out.
Following Vivian's order, the projection of her consciousness gradually condensed into a physical entity, slowly descending from the sky, and finally landing lightly on the square. Her appearance was like a warm ray of sunshine, dispelling the haze around and bringing a little comfort to everyone's hearts.
"Everyone, I am Vivian, your princess and your god." Vivian's voice was gentle but powerful. She looked around, her eyes full of care and determination. "Tell me, what happened? Why is your faith so shaken?"
The people looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, an old man stood up tremblingly. His eyes were full of tears. He said in a choked voice, "Your Highness, those 'messengers of the God of Light' promised to bring us light and hope, but they only asked for things and never really helped us. What's worse, they took advantage of our faith to defraud and plunder, making our lives even more difficult. We... we don't know who to trust anymore."
When Alice saw Vivian again, she was surprised to find that her daughter had grown into a true goddess. Her sacred and inviolable temperament, eyes as deep as stars, and her innate majesty all showed Vivian's current status as a goddess. For a moment, Alice felt mixed emotions, including the joy of seeing her relatives and the amazement of Vivian's rapid growth.
As the Saint of the Temple of Light, Alice knew that she had to stand up and face it all. She took a deep breath, walked forward, and spoke with a trembling voice: "Your Highness Vivian, it's me, Alice."
Vivian's eyes fell on Alice, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. "Alice?" Vivian's voice was also full of doubt, "You... why are you here?"
"It's a long story," Alice sighed softly, "I received guidance from the God of Light and came here to do something for the people. But I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Vivian frowned slightly: "What's going on? Why do the people look so miserable?" Her eyes swept over everyone in the square, revealing deep concern.
Alice was about to explain, but she found that her words seemed so pale and powerless. She was silent for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I thought I could solve all the problems and bring the power of faith to the people, but I was wrong. Now I don't know what to do."
