Chapter 1158: Chapter 182: Ambitious Grand Plan

The Dawn Goddess and her followers may have many problems, as the Dawn Goddess is quite harsh towards those who are disrespectful and greedy. This Goddess is full of hope, but never considered gentle.

The nuns of the Dawn Goddess are weak in force, having almost no Church Armament.

These various affairs often reveal many faults upon them.

But in one aspect, the principle of generosity practiced by their church from top to bottom is unanimously recognized and praised by all, regardless of friend or foe.

slender nuns generously displayed their figures, prolonging the sacred dance of [Symbiotic Creatures] for a long time. When the last nun donned the ritual robe, time was approaching high noon. The golden sunlight nearly fell vertically.

Su Li took the torch symbolizing the fire of life from Vandar and strode towards the altar at the center of the Ogham Stone. There, not only were old grains and withered grass piled but also the wheat ears, fruits, and handicrafts voluntarily offered by the people, symbolizing their hard work and harvest from the past year. The flame was ignited, instantly rising as a golden holy flame, hotter and purer than last year.

Then, Su Li raised the pearl wheat on the moonstone platter above his head, his voice solemn and clear, reaching into everyone’s ears:

"Most holy Dawn Goddess, Reya! Your radiance dispels the eternal night, nurturing all things!"

"People of Hesse Territory, with bloodline as the string and heartbeat as the drum, reverently pray to you—"

"We offer the crisp sound of the first ice crack of thawing earth as a sacrifice!

Offer the thunderous rumble of fetal movement within the belly of livestock as a sacrifice!

Offer the lush red of a maiden’s fingertips stained by ripe berries as a sacrifice, symbolizing prosperity!"

"In exchange for your golden ears to bow, grace as vast as the sea!

To let grains in the reflections of the Holy Pool produce thrice the yield!

To let streams gush forth milk, honey, and salt crystals under Jilun’s magic staff!

To let labor pains of mothers transform into the morning song of jubilant skylarks!

To let every inch of black soil give birth to strong hands that can firmly grip Fine Steel sickles!"

"Our plows shall be engraved with your Holy Emblem, plowing through the slumbering wilderness!

The beams of granaries must use sacred oak from the completed dome of Dawn Cathedral!

The first cry of newborns shall be dedicated to you, the purest holy song in the world!"

With his resonant prayers, the precious pearl wheat was thrown into the golden holy flame, instantly transforming into a brilliant stream of light rushing to the sky. At the same time, at Vandar’s command, the linen fabric covering the blood sacrifice materials was suddenly unveiled! The ready priests of dawn simultaneously began chanting the strongest purification and sacrifice hymns, and 12 Polevik emitted low hums, the mysterious runes on their carapaces suddenly lighting up!

"Boom——!"

As if the entire earth was responding! With the Ogham Stone of Maiden’s Ring as the center, a solid beam of light as liquid gold shot up to the sky! Subsequently, across the Hesse Territory, over a hundred large and small altar stones seemed to be connected by an invisible force, simultaneously erupting with golden holy flames reaching the sky! The beams of light, like a forest, pierced the clouds directly!

The sky was instantly rendered a glorious gold. Numerous thicker, more condensed streams of golden light fell from the firmament. They were no longer mere lines but substantial waterfalls of light, carrying a tremendous life energy, pouring accurately on the prepared 20 hectares of vast land! Where the light falls, the soil seems to come alive, greedily absorbing the divine grace, emitting a mist of delicate golden hue, filled with life. The wheat fields instantly took on the flowing amber color, and the streams steamed with a seven-colored rainbow mist.

When the last waterfall of light descended, all the towering beams of light converged at the highest point of the sky, spiraling, and finally interwoven into form—a grand, divine Crown of Fertility composed of countless wheat ears, vines, and starlight! The crown slowly rotated, casting light as warm as a mother’s embrace, enveloping the entire Maiden’s Ring.

Vandar, trembling with excitement, nearly speechless, just tightly grasped Su Li’s arm, his lips quivering: "Crown of Fertility... under Reya’s reign... this is divine favor! Unprecedented divine favor! Lord... Hesse Territory... will surely become the brightest jewel in the Border Prince’s Territory!"

Su Li looked up at the sacred crown in the sky, symbolizing endless vitality, feeling the real pulse of the earth beneath him, nourished by divine grace, his lips also curled into a smile. 20 hectares of divine grace blood field has formed! Vandar was indeed right; during the Spring Ceremony of All Things, when the whole territory jointly held the sacrifice, it truly would receive stronger divine blessings.

However, since he was not a follower of the Dawn Goddess, witnessing this divine manifestation, he was far less excited than Vandar, as, in this world where divine beings exist, it’s not unusual for a divine spirit to descend and manipulate the body of a Chosen One to fight.

He, a follower of the Dawn Goddess Church, naturally wouldn’t be too excited over the miracles of the Dawn Goddess. So he patted Vandar’s arm, saying: "My minister, don’t get too excited, tidy up your feelings, and prepare for the upcoming spring plowing."

Vandar quickly calmed his emotions, then reached out his hand to lead Su Li under the Maiden’s Ring, introducing: "Lord, after driving the spring cow, we will commence the great enterprise of spring plowing in the territory!"

Driving spring cows, Su Li was already quite familiar with, as last year he personally helped plow over a hundred meters with Vandar.

Although in this world, some people consider it self-degrading and laughable for noble Lords to personally engage in the labor of mud-legged peasants.
