Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 176 The Flowers of the Star Spirit Tree
"You're leaving already?"

"Aren't you spending the Lunar New Year at school?"

After the trial concluded, the students returned to school in batches under the guidance of their mentors, and then the official holiday began.

The five girls who had fought together were also parting ways.

Doris crossed her arms, her eyes reddening, and turned her head away: "Hmph, after this separation, we'll be competitors from now on. You might as well give up now."

“If Doris can convince us, then abstaining isn’t out of the question,” Benovia said with a slight smile.

Celia waved to them: "See you next year, everyone!"

"goodbye!"

After parting ways with the other candidates for sainthood, Celia carried her luggage and prepared to go to her dormitory to unpack, but bumped into someone downstairs.

Mil looked at Celia with a complicated expression. He hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and said, "Celia, are you going back to Starash Town? I'll take you."

"No, thank you. I have hands and feet, I don't need anyone to take me," Celia said indifferently.

Mir watched her enter the dormitory building and finally sighed with melancholy.

"Nosen, Nosen, are you really taking any action? Celia has improved so much, are your actions really effective?"

From the videos shown at school, Mir saw a strong side of Celia. He used to think that Celia would never become a saint, but now he felt that Celia was the one most likely to become a saint.

With such a strong opponent, they will inevitably attract more attention, which will further diminish their chances.

Mir felt extremely uncomfortable.

It seems that starting from the second level, Celia has become increasingly distant from her classmates.

He sent the information to Norson.

After a long pause, Norsen replied, "Why didn't you listen to me earlier? If you had listened to me then, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Mil: "..."

……

After tidying up her things, Celia left the dormitory and saw Mir still standing outside, somewhat surprised: "Why are you still here?"

“Celia, I…”

"goodbye!"

Celia nodded politely and left without looking back.

She first went to have a meal with Ainars, then went to report to Elena, before leaving the school and boarding the patrol car bound for Southland City, a city near Starash Town.

They sat there until nightfall before finally arriving at their last stop. After resting for the night in Southern City, Celia set off for Star Ash Town.

Ross's phantom appeared beside her, looked up at the awe-inspiring Protoss Tree in the sky, and nodded, "Although it's much smaller than the previous one, it's still quite good; it's a very young Protoss Tree."

"Very young?" Celia asked curiously. "Does the Celestial Tree even have an age?"

"Of course there are. This one is very young. Judging from its shape, it's probably equivalent to a 16-year-old girl, still in its growth period."

Celia glanced at the Celestial Tree and, based on Ross's analogy, had a very strange feeling.

As they got closer to the Star Spirit Tree, the strange feeling grew stronger and stronger, something they had never experienced in Star Ash Town for over ten years.

Is it because of Lord Ross?

Celia glanced at Ross secretly.

I noticed he was walking on air, constantly looking at the Star Spirit Tree, lost in thought.

Celia took out her flying broom, sat on it, and said playfully, "Lord Ross, would you like to ride with me?"

Ross lowered his head and smiled, "Sure, I'll drive."

Celia's face turned pale instantly: "No, I'll do it! There's no need to trouble Lord Ross with such a small matter!"

She encountered no monsters along the way. She was traveling on the main road, where there were regular people clearing out any monsters that showed up, so it was very safe. Before long, she arrived at Star Ash Town.

The town in front of me is also a town, but its level of development is completely different from those towns I've seen before; it's far behind.

The buildings along the main road are brand new, while in other towns they are old and low-rise buildings that have existed for decades. Most of the pedestrians on the streets and alleys are dressed in shabby clothes and exchange a few words when they meet, just like a small county town in a poor area.

Upon entering Star Ash Town, a smile appeared on Celia's lips.

Every now and then, a middle-aged man or woman would greet her, and she would respond politely.

And so they slowly arrived at the entrance of the Star Ash Temple.

There are no deacons of worship standing guard at the entrance of the temple; you can enter directly.

The temple in this town is not as grand as other temples; it's more like a small chapel, occupying a very small area, roughly equivalent to a small villa.

Although it was dilapidated, it looked warm and inviting.

Celia went inside and saw a young deacon cleaning the place.

Celia greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Pigs."

Pigs looked up, paused for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Celia? High Priestess Vanessa, Celia is back!"

The deacon of the priest ran into the small shrine shouting and yelling. A moment later, Vanessa, dressed in a priestess's robe, strode out of the shrine.

Upon seeing Celia carrying her luggage, he showed a happy expression.

"Welcome home, Celia."

Vanessa looks to be in her forties, with the marks of time on her face, though it's clear she was a beauty in her youth.

Her priestess robes were as old as the temple itself, and her hands were wet; it was unclear what she was doing.

"Mom Vanessa!"

Celia ran over excitedly and gave Vanessa a big hug.

Vanessa patted Celia's head and smiled gently, "Celia has grown taller and a little chubby."

"I'm not fat!"

Vanessa examined Celia's body and exclaimed in surprise, "She hadn't officially become a mage when she left, but she's already at the second tier when she came back. That's amazing."

Celia smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the good foundation laid by Vanessa."

As she spoke, she added, "There is also the guidance and blessing of the gods."

She secretly glanced at Ross, who was observing her closely from the side.

No one cared about her telling the truth. After all, this was a temple, and everyone knew what divine blessings meant. No one had ever taken it seriously.

Vanessa said with deep emotion, "When I carried you out more than ten years ago, I never imagined that you would have such a talent and that you would have the opportunity to become a saintess of the Holy Court."

Ross turned his head, raising an eyebrow. "Hmm? Carried out? From where?"

Celia thought to herself, "Mother Vanessa said I was abandoned outside the Celestial Tree Forbidden Area, and she happened to come out of the Forbidden Area, heard my cries, and brought me back."

Ross said thoughtfully, "It's interesting why your parents would throw you next to the forbidden area."

“I don’t know. Vanessa’s mother said that maybe they wanted to put me in the forbidden area to fend for myself, but they didn’t dare to go in, so they left me outside.”

Ross nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Meanwhile, Celia and Vanessa went into the small temple, where they asked the two deacons to prepare lunch, and then continued their reminiscing.

As for Ross, he circled the temple and discovered something very interesting behind it.

"Flowers of the Star Spirit Tree? These are extremely rare items, with the potential to condense the authority of a main god. It's unbelievable that such a thing exists in a small temple."
