Fulilian: The Little Master Who Doesn't Understand Love

Chapter 105: Atonement with Eternal Loneliness

A bright bonfire appeared under the broken dome of the temple. After thousands of years, this temple finally had a glimmer of life.

The firelight stretched the shadows of the crowd and cast them onto the cracked wall. After such a long period of erosion, the murals on the wall had long been blurred, and even the statues on the side were dilapidated, but the shadow of a goddess could still be vaguely seen.

That is Igeas, the goddess of fertility.

An existence that everyone has faced before.

The smoke from the burning wood dispelled some of the moisture. Eric and Som were resting against the pillar.

Norn is writing a magic book. With the joint efforts of Lord and him, the writing process of the book is going very smoothly and I believe it will be completed soon.

This will be the first magic book of mankind.

Celia sat in a corner a little further away, a magic book spread across her lap.

She had already read all the magic books taken out from the dwarf ruins. She had asked the Elf King for them before everyone left.

The above records all the magic that he has never learned.

Lord sat beside her, adding wood to the fire from time to time.

Just now, he told Olivia about the true and false goddess, and the other party fell into a long silence after listening.

She looked at the bonfire with a blank look in her eyes. She had never expected that there was no such thing as truth or falsehood. The goddess she believed in and the false god were of the same origin.

The Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Fertility both have the same authority, but the way life is born is different.

Moreover, the conflict between the two goddesses also arose from their Tianyi tribe.

After a long silence, Olivia finally spoke.

"Lord Lord," her voice was very soft, even returning to the original address, and it was obvious that she had something serious to say.

"After all this is over, no, after we defeat the Goddess of Fertility, I will persuade the Goddess of Life to let the Skywings leave this world."

Lord paused for a moment as he added the firewood, then looked up at her, and even Celie followed suit.

Olivia did not avoid their gazes, her holy eyes full of determination.

"This war has been going on for too long, and we Skywings have lost too much. The council has withered, and only one warrior remains."

Olivia had thought that she would resolutely carry out the orders of God, just like her fallen predecessors, taking pride in war and obeying the arrangements of God.

But after experiencing the true and false gods, the decline of the Skywing tribe, and the change of faith, her mentality also changed.

"The Skywings were originally created for war. Although the Skywings are now fading and the war is about to end, the sins we committed during the war will never disappear."

Olivia's eyes swept across the huge dome of the temple that was pierced by the divine strike, as if she saw the scene when the divine strike came that year.

It will be a scene of devastation, and everything, all living things, will be reduced to nothingness by this blow.

It was as if they had been struck by a demonic attack.

Only when people suffer the same treatment can they reflect on their own behavior.

"As you can see, the ruins of this temple are proof that we are not as holy and innocent as we claim. We fought simply to follow orders, without even verifying the authenticity of these orders."

"I think..." Lord wanted to give some advice, but the words on the tip of his tongue could not come out.

After all, no matter how he defended himself, the facts were there: the Skywing people did not have a very good reputation in the mythological era, and they had indeed destroyed many races.

If the demons were not more brutal and difficult to communicate with, the elves and dwarves would not have sought out these Skywing guys as allies.

On the other side, Olivia's story continued.

“Now, the Skywing Clan’s strength is insufficient to sustain them in this world. Staying will only make them a new source of war, or cause them to be swept up by some will again and repeat the same mistakes. I will persuade the remaining members of the clan to leave this world and seek a new place to live.”

Lord listened in silence. Although he had a lot to say, he didn't know where to start.

"What about you, Olivia?" Celie suddenly asked, "Will you go with them?"

Olivia shook her head slightly. Although Lady Celie's eyes looked a little urgent when she asked this question for some reason, Olivia decided to tell the truth.

"No, I will stay, alone in the kingdom of God in heaven, and use eternal loneliness to atone for the sins of my companions."

She raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen, actually trying to feel the connection between the magic circle in her body and Lord.

He was no longer a believer in the goddess, and even the power generated by his faith would be transferred to Lord.

If you leave with your fellow tribesmen, you will be regarded as a heretic by them.

Olivia knew this well.

In this case, I might as well stay in this world, in the kingdom of God in heaven, to preserve the last proof of the existence of the Tianyi clan.

“Even if the Skywings leave, the core of the Heavenly Kingdom will still function.

I will stay there, becoming the last link between the Kingdom of God and this world, preventing it from falling into the hands of the demons."

She paused, her gaze once again fixed on the ruined temple. "I will use my loneliness to atone for the past sins of the Skywing people. This is the path of exile and atonement I have chosen for myself."

"Atonement," Lord repeated in a low voice, "I don't have the power to forgive those races destroyed by the Skywing, but those whose hands are not stained with blood should not atone for the sins of others."

"But it's the only thing I can do."

The life of the Skywing people is very long, and even Olivia herself doesn't know how long she can live.

In the long life ahead, she must find the belief to live.

Sometimes, bearing sin can help you live better.

Lord was speechless, and finally said, "Let's talk about it after this battle. By then, I will find a new direction for you."

In the end, he still couldn't agree to the other party's request.

Perhaps he also had some selfish motives, hoping that Olivia would not only protect the kingdom of God in heaven, but also protect the entire world.

But now, Lord didn't dare to say it out loud.

Perhaps it would be better to speak out after I have slain all the gods and put an end to all this.

As if sensing his complex emotions, Orger emitted a faint light, and scenes from the future flashed through Lord's mind once again.

There was myself swinging my sword at the tall figure.

There were figures buried in the overwhelming black mud, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

Some people started traveling again.

There were also people who knelt in the empty temple and prayed alone.

The image flashed by so quickly that he couldn't see clearly.

Along with the unspoken words, they flashed by until the years passed silently.

　The next chapter will skip thirty years later, and will also cover the story of Craft's salvation in the original novel.
