Those who reincarnate must die.
Chapter 888 The Goddess Descends
As soon as Zhang Lang finished speaking, two groups of people entered from outside the temple. The group on the left were tall and thin, with slender builds and pointed ears; they were the wind spirits. The group on the right had light blue skin and webbed limbs; they were the sea creatures.
The reincarnators were alright; upon seeing these two groups of human subspecies, they simply felt there was hope for the goddess's revival. The high priest, however, looked somewhat embarrassed upon seeing them.
For many years, he had been taught that sea creatures and wind spirits were enemies of humanity. Although he had never seen them in person, images of these two races appeared in various ancient texts, and they were generally portrayed as villains.
Now, seeing these enemies from ancient times, even though he knew they had formed an alliance to save the world, the high priest still felt awkward and didn't know what to say.
However, he didn't need to step forward; Zhang Lang stepped forward and asked, "Did you bring the things?"
The representatives of the two tribes exchanged a glance and gave a signal to those behind them, and both boxes were brought up.
The sacred artifact of the sea race is a mechanical device the size of a watermelon, with a complex gear structure visible on it, driven at the center by a powerful magic crystal. Zhang Lang could sense faint spatial fluctuations emanating from the artifact, presumably its main tool for opening up subspace.
As for the Wind Elf's sacred artifact, it is a statue of a winged child. The child looks to be five or six years old and has the characteristics of a Wind Elf. His arms are crossed in front of him, as if he is holding something. It is impossible to tell whether he is male or female, but his face is exquisite and holy, and he looks like an angel from mythology.
Zhang Lang could sense that this sacred artifact contained immense energy, as well as fluctuations of life energy. Rather than being an object, it was more like some kind of alternative life form.
These two items are indeed extraordinary and deserve the title of sacred artifacts.
Zhang Lang nodded and turned to look at the high priest.
The high priest glanced at the representatives of the two races, sighed, took a magnificent treasure chest from the priest behind him, and stepped forward to open it.
The human race's sacred artifact is a crown. Its material is unknown, but its craftsmanship is intricate and its decorations are luxurious. However, it is evident that it has endured a long period of time, showing signs of damage.
Compared to the previous two items, this one looked rather ordinary. Although the design was beautiful, Zhang Lang didn't find it particularly special. To be honest, if he hadn't personally witnessed the high priest bathing, changing clothes, and offering sacrifices to the gods before solemnly bringing this thing out of the underground treasury, Zhang Lang would have even suspected that he was trying to fool him with a fake.
"Now that the three sacred artifacts are together, how do we summon the goddess?" Wang Defa asked curiously.
"This..." the high priest said awkwardly, "I don't know either?"
"Huh?!" Many reincarnators looked at him with expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"The sacred texts only record that the three sacred artifacts should not be brought together easily, otherwise they will awaken the goddess, but there is no specific record of how they will be awakened..." the high priest coughed lightly.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Tanka said angrily.
"I originally thought that putting them together would produce a reaction." The high priest shrank back. "Now it seems that perhaps some kind of ritual or incantation is needed..."
"A spell?" Wang Defa walked up to the three sacred artifacts, opened his arms, and shouted, "Come forth, goddess!"
There was no response...
"Even a fool would know it's not that simple!" Sister Zhen pulled Wang Defa aside. "Don't embarrass yourself there!"
"Investigate!" Zhang Lang uttered a single word: "There should be relevant records in ancient books!"
The high priest nodded and immediately ordered the priests and nuns to consult all the papal texts, while the wind spirits and sea creatures were also instructed to return to the island to search for relevant information.
While everyone was busy, the high priest walked up to the three sacred artifacts, examined them carefully for a while, and suddenly reached out and picked up the sea creature's sacred artifact, placing it in the arms of the wind spirit's sacred artifact. He found that it fit perfectly, just like holding it!
Zhang Lang noticed his actions and came over as well. His eyes lit up when he saw it: "Maybe..." As he spoke, he instinctively reached for the old crown next to him, but then pulled back and pointed with his finger.
The high priest understood immediately and placed the crown on the head of the angel statue.
Although the statue is not large, because it is in the shape of a child, the head is relatively large, so it is not much different from an ordinary person, and the crown fits on it perfectly.
The moment the crown was on, the three sacred artifacts suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which startled everyone in the temple. Everyone gathered around and discovered that the little angel holding the sacred artifacts and wearing a crown was floating up and slowly rotating in the temple. Finally, a dazzling light exploded, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.
When everyone regained their sight, they found that the three sacred artifacts in the scene were gone. In their place was a holy woman wearing a white robe, holding a crystal ball and a cross-shaped sword. Except for her closed eyes, she looked exactly like the statue.
"It is the Supreme Goddess!" The High Priest immediately knelt on the ground, tears welling in his eyes, his face filled with emotion. The sea creatures and wind elves beside him were stunned for a moment before also beginning to bow to the goddess.
The goddess slowly opened her eyes, her crimson lips parted slightly, and her voice was solemn and holy: "Why have you awakened me?"
"By the Goddess!" the High Priest trembled as he said, "We have no intention of offending you. It is only because the world is now invaded by extraterrestrial demons and human civilization is on the verge of extinction. Only your personal descent, with your supreme divine power, can quell the demons, bless the world, and rebuild human civilization."
"Is this really true?" The supreme goddess raised her eyebrows, her eyes slightly closed. After a moment, her face filled with anger: "It's actually true!"
"By the Goddess!" Wang Defa stepped forward. "We came to help the warriors fighting against the demons, but our leader has perished in the battle. We pray that the Goddess will bestow her divine power and resurrect our leader!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the coffin of Zeus beside him.
The goddess glanced at Zeus's remains, then nodded approvingly: "Indeed a powerful warrior, but unfortunately, he met an even stronger opponent."
After speaking, the goddess waved the crystal ball in her hand, and a soft white light shone down. Zeus's two halves of his body began to reconnect, the nerves in his brain began to regenerate, and his complexion returned to its rosy hue.
A moment later, a hand reached out from the coffin, grabbed the edge of the coffin, and propped the body up to sit up.
"What... happened to me?" Zeus asked, rubbing his head in confusion. "I remember... I think I was fighting Alonys... and then..."
At this point, Zeus's eyes widened: "Am I dead?"
"Yes, but you've been resurrected!" The surviving reincarnators at the First Altar rushed to the coffin, some even weeping, "When you died, we felt like the sky had fallen, but we never imagined we'd see you resurrected!"
The other reincarnated beings at the other altars, though not as deeply bound to Zeus, still respected him and were overjoyed to see the first of the Shen tribe resurrected. They also held the goddess's divine power in awe.
With such a powerful being appearing, the hope of defeating the alien race has greatly increased!
Only Zhang Lang looked at the Supreme Goddess with a strange expression.
