I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 203 The Secrets of the Temple
Is it unusually vigorous in terms of vitality?
Having just returned from his trip to the temple a day ago, Ron had not yet forgotten the harrowing scene of the princess being entangled by the saplings.

Therefore, he is unusually sensitive to words like "life".

This was important intelligence, and Ron didn't include it in his mission report. He had planned to report to Olivia after introducing Ms. Fiona.

But then, the witch lady came along.

"Mr. West Germany, what kind of vitality is it?"

Ron asked first, while the two women on the bed, who were tearing their clothes, fell silent at the same time.

He could even sense that Grandma Fiona inside the bracelet had quietly perked up her ears.

Despite being stared at by so many people, Sid Flores wasn't nervous. Instead, he revealed the side of a mad alchemist, saying:

“I used alchemy to examine them and discovered that these flowers hold quite a secret.”

"The most obvious thing is that their cells do not decay with movement; it seems that something unseen is maintaining them!"

"If we could extract this stuff, do you know what that would mean?"

The ward was quiet; almost everyone was somewhat confused about West Germany's line of thinking.

However, Ron, being a good friend, was different and immediately raised his hand, saying:

"Does it make people very resilient?"

"Do not."

The logistics minister shook his head, then immediately displayed unimaginable enthusiasm, eagerly announcing the answer.

"It's immortality! These substances can grant immortality!"

“In my tests, the cells in those flowers moved faster, and theoretically, over a hundred years, they remained unchanged.”

Upon hearing this, Olivia turned to look at the witch.

The other person still had that smiling face, but the weakness in their eyes could not be hidden.

Regret it! Blame yourself! Olivia!

Because of you, I was corrupted at the divine level, and you attacked me without saying a word. What are you going to do now?

The manipulative witch, the treacherous and despicable woman, thought to herself.

At this moment, Elena's face suddenly turned deathly pale, then flushed an unnatural red.
Then, with a smile on her lips, as if she were incredibly strong, she softly collapsed onto the bed and weakly said:

"Olivia, it's okay, I don't blame you."

boom--

Before she could finish speaking, another punch landed on her head, making her momentarily disoriented.

In an instant, blood gushed from the witch's head, forming a fist-sized bump.

But less than half a second later, the injuries vanished, replaced by a vibrant green two-leaf clover.

"It really is related to 'life'."

Olivia rubbed her fist and noticed that it felt different from before.

She looked around and then focused her gaze on the Minister of Intelligence.

"Gloria, you and Sid go out first, and burn all his experimental results. Don't leave any samples behind."

Gloria agreed wholeheartedly, feeling the weight of saving the world on her shoulders, but she quickly realized something was amiss.

"President, why was he allowed to stay?"

The pink-haired woman pointed at Ron, looking indignant.

I was here first, and I'm clearly the confidant!

Seeing this, the president sighed helplessly.

"This is an order."

The president gave me an order; it was the president's order!

In the end, despite her colleague Sid's strong objections, Gloria pulled him out of the ward.

"What exactly happened to you? Even if secretly investigating the Enlightenment Academy is dangerous, you shouldn't have done it."

Olivia hesitated, but the other two people present understood what she meant.

"Life" is not within the realm of divine enlightenment; even if it encounters divine contamination, it should be at the level of thought. "Ms. Elena, do you see a tender, vibrant sapling?"

Seeing that the witch was organizing her thoughts, Ron gave his guess first.

"how do you know?"

Her deep blue, almost purple eyes widened instantly, and Elena quickly realized what was happening, giving the boy a flirtatious wink.

"Wow, you even stalked and spied on your older sister! What a little rascal!"

"Alright, shut up now!"

Olivia retorted irritably and turned her gaze to Ron.

"Tell me what you think."

She didn't ask Ron how he knew, because if Ron said so, he must have encountered it in a previous mission.

"I accompanied Miss Catherine into the temple during her succession to the throne and saw the saplings with tremendous vitality."

"The manifestation is similar to the residual effects on Ms. Elena, giving a feeling of vitality, but the actual behavior is extremely strange."

"It seems to be imprisoned in the temple, and Miss Catherine is unaware of this."

Ron recounted the entire scene inside the temple without omitting a single detail.

Well, according to the God of Wisdom, the God of Enlightenment seems to have died once, but in the end, he used his wisdom to find a loophole in death and came back to life.
Could it be that these saplings are the reason they survived?
Where did these saplings come from, and why are they imprisoned in the temple?

Moreover, is this what the Vatican's plot to seize the Temple?

But isn't the scheme a bit too weak?
Moreover, the Enlightened God who obtained the sapling still died in the end, and the Holy Light God, being a fellow deity, couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
If He truly wanted to learn from the former, why didn't He prepare in advance before problems arose?

Ron's mind raced, sensing a connection between the events, but something crucial was missing, making the information disjointed.

At that moment, a proud hum echoed through the silent room.

“That sapling is a manifestation of the divinity of ‘life,’ a personification of a part of the body and authority of a certain deity, not a seed of divine qualities.”

"In other words, He is truly alive!"

“1,369 years ago, the high priest of the Church of Enlightenment, Gabriel, also set sail, but encountered ‘divine revelation’ and almost lost his life.”

"Finally, he met Heinleit, who was then carrying the 'Temple', and the two of them made a secret deal, which resulted in the High Priest joining the alliance at that time."

Grandma Fiona suddenly appeared, looking every bit the elder, and sat gracefully in a chair in the ward.

She slightly raised her chin and said arrogantly:

"Younger generations, did you understand?"

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the arrogant senior sighed in a mature and sophisticated manner:

"Each generation is worse than the last."

Upon hearing this, Ron's lips twitched, and his thoughts flowed smoothly together.

According to Grandma Fiona, Hainlet made a secret deal with the high priest a thousand years ago.

Based on today's perspective, the content of the transaction was very likely the tree imprisoned in the "temple"—no, a part of the divine body.

This allowed the Enlightened God to be resurrected.

Rather than a resurrection, Ron felt it was more like a delay in the process of death, and after a thousand years, the "Enlightened God" was ultimately powerless to reverse the situation.

Thinking about this, Ron suddenly wasn't surprised by the actions of the director of the Enlightenment Institute who had gone to sea a few years ago.

He seems to be emulating the actions of the high priest from a thousand years ago, going out to sea to seek opportunities and attempting to resurrect the gods.

Perhaps due to the passage of time and the interruption of the tradition, or perhaps due to a secret agreement, Gabriel did not explicitly explain the truth behind the resurrection of the "Enlightened God."
This is truly a case of our ancestors causing death!
Ron's lips twitched, and he silently lit a candle in his heart for the Dean of the Enlightenment Institute who was setting sail.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, but he immediately realized a crucial problem.

All of this is considered a secret to the Stardust Society, but it may not be so for the Holy See, which is also a divine force.

In this way, even if Cyrus VII did not know that there was something in the temple that could resurrect the gods, he should have some guesses.

However, what puzzled Ron most was that His Holiness the Pope seemed to be blinded by power.
They don't seem to care much about the gods acting strangely or about resurrecting them.

Compared to the director of Qidi Institute who dared to venture out to sea alone, he is utterly despicable.
