Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 528: Prayer


The world has changed.

No matter who you are, it seems undeniable that ever since that crimson giant star rose from the sky, and the divine enemy crowned himself king from the Border Prison, everything has become entirely different.

The endless cycle of peaceful days has thus ended.

No matter how many times Sky City repeats that the demons are insignificant, just a skin ailment, calling on everyone to hold steadfast to their faith, it is difficult to achieve the effect it once had.

Thus, once again, the church shifted its narrative, and the Holy Scripture welcomed another update, adding the chapter of Revelation, explaining everything as a test from the gods.

The mortals of the earth are blessed because the days of Heaven's descent are near, as long as they cross this final hurdle. One day, the holy armies of Heaven will face the forces of Hell for the final battle, and as long as the believers prove the faith within their hearts, they can draw close to the gods and thus enter Paradise forever, enjoying endless joy.

As soon as this explanation was released, countless believers wept with joy, revitalized and began to prepare for battle against the demons from today onwards.

Unfortunately, distant water can't quench a nearby thirst, and distant cakes don't work either.

Even if the church exerts all its efforts, it is difficult to resolve the divine enemy far in the Border Prison, the same way it cannot quell the current chaos in the world.

The days of peace and tranquility are gone; the rivers no longer flow with honey, the trees no longer bear figs. Someone kicked over Paradise's trash can, causing chaos to erupt, and after the chaos from dreams was unleashed, the world that once was a sea of white water was stained with colors, constantly stirred by various forces.

Chaotic celestial phenomena and frequent earthquakes have filled the world outside the dioceses, and despite all efforts, the church can barely maintain stability within the diocesan world.

And with blood rain, thunderbolt, and plagues of flies, an increasing number of bizarre events are continually emerging. One day, outside Sky City, the hills suddenly bloomed with flowers everywhere, yet after the flowers withered, it was countless toads that hopped out of the buds, and wriggling snake worms that spoke human words, while the broken gargoyle statues surprisingly sang loudly...

Transport crews say that on their routes, they often encounter strange villages not marked on the maps, where the inhabitants are kind and hospitable, even inviting them to stay, but after leaving, they can never find them again.

Some people have seen a magnificent and vast city in the depths of the fog, yet after chasing for a long time, they can't find any trace, but instead, they themselves mysteriously disappear under the eyes of the crowd.

Scenes that completely defy all common sense are continuously playing out in every corner of the world, with numerous anomalies converging and constantly transforming, even giving birth to many strange areas, seemingly still silently spreading.

After dozens of years of suppression, once the chaos begins to erupt, it is like pus seeping through the skin, difficult to cure and resolve.

Not only is the chaos spreading outside the city, but unusual events are frequently occurring within Central City as well.

In the Central Sanctuary, the Main Priest on night watch encountered several days in a row, believers coming late at night for confession and prayers without saying a word, and every time after praying, they would silently leave. Initially, the Main Priest didn't care, but soon he discovered that the number of believers coming to pray at night kept increasing. In the end, one day, when he dozed off and opened his eyes, he found the entire Sacred Place filled layer upon layer with countless shadows, but aside from the low murmurs and prayers, there was no other sound.

The Main Priest screamed and fled, but the shadows did not pursue him, merely watching him leave with empty eyes.

From that day on, no more believers came at night, but the night-watching Main Priest gradually went mad, arguing and fighting with non-existent people daily until he was imprisoned, only to suddenly disappear one day.

Subsequently, news spread from various Sacred Places that frequently at midnight, a Main Priest would come to pray...

Some believers attended a mutual aid group, where the internal atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone helped each other improve. Only after several weeks did they realize this mutual aid group was not registered with the church, and their friends from within never really existed.

Many strange rumors and ghost stories are continuously spreading through word of mouth. Sometimes, it's almost impossible to discern if the person beside you is truly alive.

Moreover, is the person telling these stories really human?

Clearly, they're dreaming, yet ghostly events are happening everywhere.

After Tian Yuan fell into disorder, an endless stream of bizarre events are occurring. And the only one able to reorganize it all, the Holy God, remains indifferent.

As a result, many believers gradually discovered the growing intensity of déjà vu, familiar scenes and words keep appearing, as if vaguely, through their own consciousness, they could stir this part of reality to a limited extent...

With the return of chaos, order becomes twisted.

Awakening becomes easier yet weaker, and likewise, more uncontrollable.

Everything continuously reminds them that none of this is reality.

They are living in a dream.

In a dream with no end in sight...

At the moment of truly realizing this reality, despair and doubt silently sprout from within, and when they look back at the Holy Hall behind them, it's hard to stay resolute.

Not to mention those who were already wavering.

Human nature is to admire the strong and pursue power. Once the devil proves its might, and Hell demonstrates its value and meaning, the continuously flowing faith gathering towards the Border Prison is proof of this.
