314: The relationship with the goddess is so good that it's like falling in love

“It’s settled!”

“Your Majesty’s display of divine power this time is enough to unify half of Kyushu!”

Si Zhenfeng, on the main stage, saw a thousand people stand up simultaneously, and his heart bloomed with joy.

He had known beforehand that Qin Yang could summon the Holy Light Goddess.

But he had never seen a deity either, so he couldn't imagine what kind of scene it would be.

Witnessing it firsthand now, he was once again awestruck by Qin Yang.

Summoning the Holy Light Goddess to descend on the spot—what kind of concept was that?

This was a miracle!

Not just in the Western World, the Holy Light Goddess’s popularity in Kyushu was also very high.

The reason she hadn't been influenced by the Holy Light Sect was because of the immense distance.

If there were a nationwide poll,

the Holy Light Goddess would absolutely be the most revered deity, without a doubt.

After all, who would go against a deity who could save their life?

With Qin Yang’s ultimate move, he couldn't claim to win over all hearts, but he could at least establish an absolutely magnificent image in everyone’s minds.

This was no easy feat.

Apart from Zhang Lingxiao, which of the Five Sages hadn't once dominated the world and been revered by all?

But to say that someone had established a god-like magnificent image in the public's heart, no one had achieved that yet.

His own status was earned through hard work.

Qiu Yan’s status was elevated by the Eight Great Families.

Zhan Tianxiong’s status was forged through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Only Qin Yang, through a series of miracles that humans couldn't achieve, had built his current prestige.

If this happened a few more times, let alone unifying Kyushu… unifying the world, that would be something to dream about!

“I truly have to thank Sword Emperor Lin Xuan!”

Thinking that he was the first to pledge allegiance to Qin Yang, Si Zhenfeng was immensely grateful to Lin Xuan.

He was grateful that on that day, Lin Xuan had shattered space and crossed the Annihilation Sea to warn him not to touch Qin Yang.

And he himself had proven worthy, immediately making the most correct choice of his life.

Otherwise, he would now be sweating profusely like Qiu Yan.

Thinking of this, Si Zhenfeng glanced at Qiu Yan.

That grandson was trembling as he took off his glasses, wiping the sweat from the lenses.

Indeed, Qiu Yan was very flustered at this moment.

He had lived for so many years and had never been so discomposed.

However, he wasn't flustered by Qin Yang's ability to summon a deity, but by the possibility that Qin Yang could truly do as he said.

He could command a deity!

Summoning a deity and commanding a deity were two different concepts.

The former Pope could also summon the Holy Light Goddess.

Or rather, people like Zhang Yuzhen, who had the chance to know the Goddess's true name, could also summon a deity to descend under certain conditions.

People who could do this existed in history, and they exist in the current world.

But if he could command a deity… then he truly had no way to contend with Qin Yang.

Before, he still thought Qin Yang was playing tricks.

He wanted to use an “illusion” to make people feel that he could do it.

But when Qiu Yan saw that the other party could make a deity appear without any ritual, he completely panicked.

“If he pulls this off, we won't have any chance at all!”

“No matter how great the influence of the Eight Great Families, it cannot be greater than that of a deity.”

“Stopping someone who is above a deity from becoming emperor—that’s simply impossible!”

Qiu Yan roared internally.

At this moment, he was anxious, but anxiety offered no solution.

He could only stare, watching Qin Yang tear his lifelong ideals to shreds, piece by piece.

“Praise the Holy Light!”

A chorus of voices echoed through the venue.

Zhang Yuzhen pushed away the hands that were helping her, placed her hands on her chest, and slowly knelt down.

At this moment, she was weeping uncontrollably.

After a hundred years, she saw that figure again.

That perfect existence symbolizing purity, forgiveness, and kindness.

The other attendees also placed their hands on their chests, bowing their heads to offer the highest respect to the deity.

Even Lin Xiaoer on the main stage turned her head to look at Lin Xuan and asked in a low voice, “Dad, won’t we be disrespectful to the deity if we just sit here?”

Lin Xuan glanced at her and said, “No, our grandson and the Goddess have a very good relationship.”

“How good?” Lin Xiaoer was stunned.

Lin Xuan said, “So good it’s like they’re in love.”

Lin Xiaoer: “Huh?”

At this moment, the inauguration ceremony had become a religious gathering.

Everyone bowed their heads, bathed in the Holy Light, their hearts filled with peace and tranquility.

Seeing this, Qin Yang whispered to Elebella, “Concubine La, you’ve got quite a lot of Face.”

Elebella’s ethereal voice echoed in his mind: “I am for everyone, and everyone loves me—that is the meaning of the Holy Light… Also, what exactly does ‘Concubine La’ mean?”

“Never mind what it means.”

Qin Yang smiled and said, “In front of people, you must also give me Face.”

Elebella already knew Qin Yang’s plan and nodded, “I understand.”

After their private exchange,

Qin Yang cleared his throat and declared loudly, “Elebella, by the power of Holy Light, resurrect the two warriors before me.”

“Ele-what?”

When these words came out, most people didn't react.

They did not know the true name of the Holy Light Goddess, nor did they have the right to know it.

Therefore,

although Qin Yang enunciated clearly and his voice was strong,

it sounded very indistinct to their ears.

Ele-what, Ele-what-bella, what-bella?

They heard all sorts of things, but no one could fully hear these four words, and the memory quickly blurred, fading after only a few seconds, making it impossible to recall.

However, there was one person present who knew the true name of the Holy Light Goddess.

Boom!

The four words Qin Yang uttered exploded in Zhang Yuzhen’s ears like thunder.

“What?”

“What did I just hear?”

Qin Yang recited the true name of the Holy Light Goddess!?

No!!!

This wasn't reciting the true name!

It was directly calling out the true name!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuzhen nearly fainted.

The format for reciting the true name required a respectful title to be added before it.

That is: Holy Light Goddess, Elebella… but Qin Yang had omitted the respectful title!

This was practically blaspheming a deity!

“Holy Light! What is wrong with this child? He doesn’t even follow the format for reciting the true name?”

Hearing someone directly call out the true name of the revered deity, Zhang Yuzhen was filled with immense anger.

But besides anger, she felt even more fear.

Fear that Elebella would become enraged and strip everyone present of the right to enjoy the Holy Light.

Zhang Yuzhen’s mind buzzed, and her body began to tremble violently!

She looked up at Qin Yang, and at the divine projection behind him.

However, her feared outcome did not occur.

The Holy Light Goddess, Elebella, still maintained a serene and gentle expression, like a spring breeze.

She merely closed her eyes slightly, slowly raising her hands, as if lifting all the burdens of the world.

Immediately, an ethereal voice resounded through the hall.

“Holy Light, I honor Your will.”

Buzz!

A vast power of Holy Light descended with a roar.

Two colossal pillars of Holy Light,

shone upon the two coffins before Qin Yang.

The two corpses bathed within them were visibly regaining their color at a speed perceptible to the naked eye!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuzhen felt as if her Divine Soul was frozen.

She was not shocked by the resurrection of the two deceased.

But rather… Qin Yang directly called out the true name of the Holy Light Goddess, and not only did the Goddess not unleash divine punishment in anger, she actually responded to him!

“Holy Light, I honor Your will?”

Whose will?

Qin Yang’s?

Huh???

Zhang Yuzhen felt a wave of dizziness, her worldview collapsing instantly!
