As for Ulinos on Dragon Island, it is said that after learning about the changes on Segis Continent, he was stunned for a long ti, then burst into laughter, humd a little tune, and ran off to sponge food and drink from so secluded ancient Divines.
Of course, this was all later told to Eve by Platinum Dragon King Reinhardt.
However, unlike the gods who were focused on this holy war, as the central character in the whole event, Eve did not feel the slightest excitent or relief because of the overwhelming favorable situation.
On the contrary, in the Divine Country, looking at the projections of Segis World’s map, seeing the light of faith blossoming across the continent, watching the rapidly expanding belief network, Her brow gradually furrowed...
No other reason.
Simply because it was all going too smoothly.
So smooth it was to a sowhat eerie degree.
Although Eve had seen from the beginning the despicability among the nobles of Human Empire, She did not expect the entire Human Kingdom to collapse so quickly...
This exaggerated speed could completely be described as an overnight disintegration.
And among all this, what puzzled Eve the most and made Her most vigilant was the attitude of the Eternal Church.
No participation...
After the wave of revolution erupted in the Human Kingdom, almost the entire Human World’s Eternal Church did not participate in the suppression.
In this upheaval that shook the foundation of faith in the Lord of Eternity in Segis World, they seed to have collectively disappeared.
Clearly, the Great Holy War had not yet ended, and clearly, the main forces of the Eternal Church had not shown themselves, yet the whole Eternal Church seed to have abandoned human belief in Segis World.
One must know, spreading faith is not easy.
Especially in this wave, the Eternal Church itself belongs to the side that was overthrown.
Based on Eve’s understanding of human nature, under the double influence of convert’s fanaticism and players stirring things up, the difficulty for the Eternal Church to sweep back in would be several levels higher...
Since the Eternal Church knows Eve fairly well, Eve does not believe they are unaware of this fact.
Yet, even so, the other party allowed the situation to unfold, indicating perhaps they have a more important purpose, or perhaps so kind of trump card to turn the tide...
"The Yiteo’s Judgent Army and Angel Army have yet to appear, could it be... that they completely abandoned Segis World’s foundation and plan to directly eliminate my main body?"
"After all... the key to this holy war ultimately lies in the divine struggle; if the Divine falls, then any other victory is aningless."
"But it doesn’t make sense... Even if the Eternal Church gave a bit more support to the nobles, the Human Kingdom wouldn’t collapse this fast; this seems more like the Eternal Church going along with the flow."
"Maybe... they’re secretly plotting sothing else?"
Sitting high on the divine throne, Eve furrowed Her brow slightly, tapping gently on the armrest of the throne.
"Perhaps, I should go to the Land of Origin to check the stele that records the history of Segis World, maybe I can find so clues from it..."
Eve contemplated.
The last ti following Ulinos to the Land of Origin, Eve had already been interested in the historical stele located in the last Origin Temple.
At that ti, She discovered that the stele was simply a tool for understanding the great events of Segis World.
Even so hidden information, as long as it had a significant impact on the history of Segis World, would be recorded.
Perhaps... this stele that docunts the great events occurring in Segis World would provide Her with so leads.
If the Eternal Lord Yiteo is truly plotting sothing in secret, even if he covers it well, Eve believes so traces would inevitably remain.
Thinking of this, Eve pondered for a mont, then connected with the key to the Land of Origin within Her Divine Country.
A second later, Her consciousness shifted, appearing in the Land of Origin.
Having had the experience of entering last ti, Eve was now prepared and resistant to the tainted power, neither getting lost nor affected.
Opening the temple door to the Land of Origin, She went straight to the final temple space.
Standing in front of the familiar stele, Eve began to read the mysterious script on it.
Different from the last ti here, there was much more text on the stele, and among them, not only did it describe the creatures of Segis World exterminating the final demon army, but in the latest record, it focused on the upheaval in the Human World.
However, beyond that, there was nothing more.
Staring at the stele for a long ti, Eve fell into contemplation.
Looking at the lengthy records of the revolutionary events, suddenly, Her heart stirred, vaguely associating with sothing...
"Wait a mont... could it be..."
Eve’s eyes flickered, Her heart skipped a beat.
Imdiately, She hurriedly retrieved the core fragnt of the Pantheon given to Her by Moonlight Queen Diana from Her Divine Soul.
And when Eve clearly saw the ascension progress that symbolized the Eternal Lord Yiteo, Her gaze slightly condensed.
The ascendancy progress of the Eternal Lord... had suddenly accelerated.
The remaining progress on the fragnt had directly skipped a vast portion, almost reaching the endpoint.
Seeing this scene, Eve’s expression subtly changed.
Suddenly, Eve had a revelation.
She looked again at the stele, or more precisely at the newly added words from recent tis, and gradually, so conjectures began to form in her mind...
History... civilization...
Society... transformation...
Human faith...
Could it be...
One thought after another flashed through Eve’s mind.
As though she had made a connection, her expression grew slightly solemn.
Yet, just as Eve’s gaze swept over the stele once more, she suddenly paused.
She refocused her attention on the stele, her eyelids twitching, as if she had discovered sothing unexpected...
Looking at the continental history inscribed on the stele, seeing the depictions of elves rising again, resisting invasion, and the record of the human revolution against the empire and the Eternal Church, Eve’s mind stirred as though she had uncovered a certain secret, and she slightly narrowed her eyes:
"Interesting..."
...
Western Fertile Plain.
On an open field.
Tents of various sizes were arranged closely, and the flags of the Eternal Church fluttered continuously.
Within the largest and most solemn tent, Pope Benedict II knelt before the statue of the True God, praying devoutly.
Suddenly, the pleasant sound of a copper bell rang outside the tent, and the respectful voice of a priest ca through:
"Your Holiness, Lord Shatelle seeks an audience."
Benedict II’s voice halted slightly in his prayer.
"Let him in."
He said calmly.
As soon as he spoke, the tent flap was lifted, and a well-equipped Judgent Knight entered.
He bowed respectfully to Benedict II and said in a deep voice:
"Your Holiness, news from Mania reports that life believers have incited the Guards and rcenaries, joined by the city’s populace, and have launched a rebellion, occupying the entire city. Lord Wenster was martyred, Her Majesty the Empress died for the nation, and the entire Mania Region has declared independence, establishing the Maniya Republic..."
"Additionally, reports of rebellion have co in from other regions, all responding to Mania..."
"Your Holiness..."
"The empire may already be failing, and even the Aries Kingdom has seen reports of large-scale rebellion..."
Upon hearing this, Benedict II slowly turned around.
His expression remained calm, as if unsurprised by all that had transpired.
He gently nodded and said lightly:
"I understand."
The Judgent Knight completed his report and withdrew.
Benedict II sat silently before the statue for a mont, then slowly stood up.
He drew a sun symbol on his chest, his eyes filled with fervor as he looked at the statue:
"Great and wise Lord of mine..."
"You are the master of humanity, you are the eternal light."
"Your brilliance forever illuminates the earth, your true na forever echoes among mankind..."
As he prayed, the statue of the Lord of Eternity, Yteo began to emit a faint glow.
Faintly, whispers seed to echo in the air.
Seeing the shimring brilliance, hearing the subtle sacred sounds, Benedict II’s eyes widened instantly, and his expression gradually grew excited.
He took a deep breath and bent forward, bowing deeply to the statue.
Then, he adjusted his attire, solemnly donned the papal crown, and walked out of the tent.
Gazing at the dense array of tents, the expansive and ready-to-move Judgent Army, and the high-ranking mbers of the Eternal Church respectfully waiting by the tent, Benedict II’s expression turned slightly solemn.
"Everyone, our Lord’s oracle has arrived; the ti for the decisive battle has co, it is ti to set forth..."
He spread his arms, his expression fervent as he spoke.
