Storm of Gods

Chapter 89 Harvest
Aries and Taurus were clearly bewildered. The three of them looked at the silent Cancer, because Cancer always wanted to offer guidance whenever there was a problem, and this silence was not in line with his proud and arrogant nature.

Christian's chin was slightly raised, presenting a pose of deep thought.

That's the effect. He knows that in the end, he still needs to lead this team. Gemini has heard about this from somewhere but only has a vague understanding. He is sensitive enough to know. Taurus is probably a mercenary or something similar and wouldn't have any contact with these things.

Miss Aries was a little disappointed that she didn't know, it seems her family background isn't very strong.

“This is not a profession, but a path of cultivation, related to divine relics, or more profoundly, related to obtaining the power of the gods,” Christian said calmly.

Speak slowly and in a low tone to make yourself sound more sophisticated. Look at the other three people; they are all sitting upright. Hmm, very good.

“Please enlighten me, Mr. Cancer,” Estella asked.

Christian's lips curled into a forced smile as he said:
"The twins are right, but unfortunately they overlooked the most crucial information. The path of the enforcer requires accumulating or acquiring merit, earthly merit; the path of the knight requires acquiring or even seizing honor; the chosen one, or the prayer, must have divine favor; one only needs to attract the gaze and attention of the gods during cultivation; and the preacher is controlled by the major churches; what they need is faith. No matter which path one takes, reaching the pinnacle will make one the closest to the gods, or even a god!"

Christian used the tone and gestures he used in theatrical performances, which were slightly exaggerated, but under the brilliance of the zodiac star chart, he felt his own greatness at that moment.

The other three people present were not fools; they understood almost immediately, especially Li Xin. The Night Patrolman was a law enforcer, and he needed to focus on fulfilling his responsibilities as a law enforcer and gain power by upholding justice.

Matthew is a preacher and needs to expand the faith in the God he believes in;

The power of those favored by the gods is a gift from them; all they need to do is remain devout.

The path of a knight requires honor, and Luther followed the path of a knight. No wonder the newspapers touted Luther's various heroic achievements, which earned him the support and admiration of countless people.

He wasn't a chosen one, and a preacher was obviously out of the question, so he could only choose an enforcer or a knight. It seemed that no matter how you looked at it, a knight was safer and more efficient.

“Thank you for sharing, Mr. Cancer. This is extremely valuable knowledge!” Cantona said in a deep voice.

He wasn't completely ignorant; he just wanted further confirmation from others.

"Thank you, Mr. Cancer!" Estella suddenly understood why her destiny star had been activated inexplicably.

She is a typical prayer person, and it is highly likely that her recent theories have resonated with the public and gained divine favor. This is also an understanding of abundant gifts. In response, Mr. Gemini, I'm sorry, what should I do?

?

Christian is ready to receive the adoring gaze of Miss Aries. Why is she looking at Gemini?

"Mr. Cancer has hit the nail on the head and cleared up my doubts. The path will play a crucial role in the later stages of cultivation." Li Xin gave a thumbs up, which was also the clue he had been looking for in books and newspapers.

“Every path has its own power and thorns; this is the hidden mystery, held only by a very few people on the Dao Abyss Continent.” Christian’s lips curled into a smile. I know this, but I won’t say it.

None of the three present pressed for further questions; they fell into thought. The information Cancer shared was extremely important, and of course, Gemini's initial remarks were also crucial.

“Does anyone else have any other personal needs?” Cantona asked, hoping to gradually make the roundtable more supportive, and things were starting to improve.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something else to discuss," Miss Aries stood up and looked at everyone, "I need to speak with Mr. Gemini alone."

what?
Christian's mouth was practically splitting open. Miss Aries had finally figured it out. If it were her, she might say... what the heck is Gemini?

Doesn't she want to know more about the worshippers?
"I'm fine now. Thank you all again for sharing and helping. I will live well," Cantona said with a smile.

The road to success is not built in a day. He now needs to resolve his own issues. The Roundtable helped him make a decision and resolved his troubling emotions. It was his own unwillingness to believe that Ai Li would betray him.

"See you next time." Christian looked up and was the first to disappear from the Round Table. "Mr. Taurus, please be careful," Li Xin said.

Cantona nodded and gracefully disappeared from the round table, leaving only Miss Aries and Mr. Gemini in the star chart.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Miss Aries, you seem a bit off today. Did something happen?"

Estella stood up and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gemini, I made a serious mistake!"

Li Xin was stunned. What could be so serious? The Mondlier incident went smoothly, so there shouldn't be any aftereffects.

"Miss Aries, what happened?"

These past few days have really been troubling Estella. She's been wanting to contact Mr. Gemini but doesn't know how to bring it up. Today's horoscope summoning gave her courage, and she knows this is something she has to face.

"A while ago, my teacher tested me on my understanding of the Lilong Reforms. In my haste, I blurted out the theory that Mr. Gemini had told me. I'm so sorry, this shouldn't be an honor for me." Estella's fair skin flushed crimson with shame, all the way to the roots of her neck.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Aries, you scared me to death. I thought something terrible had happened. It's nothing. I just said it casually after Miss Aries inspired me. It's a good experience to share with others."

"But, but this theory has caused quite a stir. Although I have clarified that I am not the creator, it doesn't seem to be of much use." Miss Aries didn't know what to say.

She couldn't reveal her identity, as the capital had already issued an order prohibiting it. However, everyone assumed it was the princess's humility, since the Moncaleta royal family had always possessed such noble qualities. But among the Grand Secretaries, discussions about this system had already begun, especially among the five-star Grand Secretaries Vladimir, who believed that this theory had opened a door to the truth.

“That’s good. Miss Aries, you’re overthinking it. The same words spoken by different people in different situations have completely different effects. And this is a good thing. It would be our honor if it could contribute to social progress. It would be a collective achievement,” Li Xin said, indicating that the academic atmosphere in Montcareta was quite good. Even if he said these things in the Academy of Religion, it would be meaningless.

For some reason, after Mr. Gemini said that, Estella felt much less emotionally burdened, and even a little happy.

“Mr. Gemini, I think this matter is related to my direct activation of my second life star,” Estella said. “My intuition tells me that this influence has received a response from the divine relic.”

Estella felt that she had stolen the opportunity for Mr. Gemini to unlock his destiny.

"Oh?" Li Xin was taken aback. "What I mean is that this is very instructive. If Miss Aries considers me a friend, please don't mind this anymore. A good theory needs a good environment and platform to let more people know about it. This is the best place for truth. This is your opportunity, and I'm happy for you. Besides, I wasn't being polite when I asked Miss Aries for help."

At this moment, Mr. Gemini was shining in Estella's eyes. She had seen countless people vying for fame and fortune, but this was the first time she had met someone as learned and magnanimous as Mr. Gemini.

“Miss Aries is on the path of the chosen one. You can explore this matter to see if it’s possible that the god you worship has a taste for this. I want to choose the knight’s path, but unfortunately I don’t know what honor really means. Is it just winning the competition?” Li Xin said.

"This is the first time I've heard of this claim. I'll try to find out more about it. The activation of the Destiny Star this time proves that there is indeed a connection, and it has a very significant effect. If we can master it, we might not even need a sacred place to properly control the divine relics."

Li Xin nodded. This time, he had gained a lot, answering some questions and raising new ones.

Having resolved her inner conflict, Estella seemed to have shed a tremendous burden. "Mr. Gemini, I received your gift. I love it very much. May I practice playing it for you when I'm ready?"

"That would be my honor," Li Xin said with a smile.

“Mr. Gemini, may I give you a gift?” Estella asked. This incident had saved her from embarrassment at the Court Academy and even activated her second life star, so she had to express her gratitude.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

As the horoscope swayed, the two concluded their conversation, marking another fruitful gathering for everyone.
