Chapter 1641: 981: Epilogue (Part 2)

Leon lay on the back of the dragon, as if he had lost all his strength. Gong Qiying did not notice the reaction of the people behind him; he was looking elsewhere.

The baffling thing is, even though Viskasa has died, the towering light pillar he created still hasn’t disappeared, nor has it shown any sign of wilting.

Previously, when observing the light pillar, there was no particular feeling, but once Gong Qiying became one with Gwyn’s body, and the power of faith was bestowed upon him, he felt something different from this light pillar.

This light pillar also emitted the aura of divine power, specifically... the divine power of the Light God.

And he had a feeling.

This thing has a connection with Sain.

Gwyn reached out to touch the light pillar, and those witnessing this were unsure of what was happening, but since it was a deity doing it, they held their breath and watched closely.

The next moment, as soon as Gwyn touched the pillar, the towering light turned into thousands of light points, which then became streams of light, flowing into his body.

This sacred scene felt even somewhat like a fairytale, and did not quite match Gwyn’s usual style, but the spectacle was grand enough to be awe-inspiring.

At this instant, Gong Qiying felt a new change in Gwyn.

He obtained part of the powers of the Light God that Viskasa once wielded!

Now, Gwyn, with the Fire God as primary and the Light God as secondary, both divine powers merged within him, making this astonishing old man exude an even more worship-worthy divine aura.

At this moment, all the faithful across the continent who still worship the Holy Light God felt a fleeting sensation, but then returned to calm, left bewildered, not knowing what had just happened.

Meanwhile, a large amount of mental fragments surged into Gwyn’s mind, which for an ordinary person, would have been enough to explode their brain.

However, although Gong Qiying became one with Gwyn, he did not suffer the damage; when he sensed these mental fragments, he transformed them into physical books.

"This is..."

He glanced through them briefly and instantly understood what it was.

These are fragments of Viskasa’s memories, remnants from the light pillar!

That guy was still trying to set a trap even in death, leaving behind shattered spirit as a weapon. Thankfully, the one who touched the pillar was Gwyn, otherwise, he would have become a burial companion.

"The information recorded here is truly priceless."

Though this knowledge is fragmented and shattered memories, it originates from Viskasa’s accumulations over the years, and with this, one can swiftly fill in the missing information.

"It’s high time."

Gong Qiying separated from Gwyn’s body.

"Let’s have a perfect curtain call."

In the eyes of the onlookers, Gwyn’s magnificent figure began to blaze.

The increasingly raging flames completely engulfed him, expanding to the point that his figure was no longer visible; in an instant, the flames transformed into countless streams of fire, dispersing throughout Scameroon.

This scene was spectacular, like a blooming red lotus.

In Hepa Town, people freed from battle were intensively engaged in post-war recovery work, with numerous wounded causing the medical system to collapse temporarily, making it difficult to care for everyone even with treatment efforts.

Just as the physicians were at their wits’ end, someone noticed flames descending from the sky.

Before they could react, these streams of fire drilled into the bodies of the wounded one by one, igniting flames in their bodies.

"Ahhh, they’re not dead yet! It’s a bit early for cremation!" The physician screamed.

"Oh, wait a minute, I feel much better now."

The burning patients exclaimed with joy; looking closely, their wounds were rapidly healing, all toxins were burned away, and all damages were being recovered!

The survivors within Scameroon, equally received Gwyn’s final blessings.

"Praise Gwyn!"

When people once again looked towards the sky with reverence, gratitude, or filled with other emotions.

Gwyn’s magnificent figure had vanished without a trace.

Answering this sight, the Starfire Knight who persistently held up the Image Stone expressed his sentiment.

"Sain has become a deity, Gwyn has become a deity."

The long-lasting Scameroon civil war finally came to an end today.

The day-long Demon Clan assault also concluded.

On this day, Scameroon lost seventy percent of its population, and perhaps even more have not been accounted for, with the actual losses being greater.

The ancient capital, once called the sacred city by the world’s believers, was utterly reduced to ruins, whether reconstruction or relocation, the glory of this place will be no more.

The losses suffered by the Three Great Religions are innumerable; the upper echelon nearly wiped out, devout believers nearly wiped out, subordinate legions nearly wiped out, and all precious tomes completely destroyed.

Branches of the Three Great Religions in other countries thus fell into a long period of chaos and might suffer severe downturns due to this blow.

Not for a long time has any country lost as much population as Scameroon did in a single day; the tragedy here attracted the attention of the entire continent.

Soon after, other countries discovered that the civil war and Demon Clan assault were laced with incomprehensible events and filled with mysteries.

How did the Demon Clan appear? Who fought with Gwyn? Why was that person in the capital? What exactly was he doing? Was there any deeper reason behind Scameroon’s civil war?

All of these are riddled with mysteries; no matter how skilled in gathering intelligence, it was impossible to unravel — all those who hold the answers are dead, what can be done?

Until a survivor from the capital, Hero Anleisi, stepped up, resolving people’s doubts.

"The Pope of the Holy Light Church was replaced by a Great Sage of the Demon Clan who lived for countless years; he secretly manipulated the Three Great Religions and the rebel army, launching this catastrophic civil war."

"He replaced not only the Pope but even the name of the deity!"

"The Demon Clan Great Sage wished to become the Demon King, but thus angered the Sain Dungeon, triggering Sain’s rampage; in the end, all his plans were undone."

"This trauma, which shall be remembered by Scameroon, was entirely brought by the Demon Clan!"

"From now on, I will embark on a journey to crusade against the Demon Clan, relentlessly striving."

Anleisi’s speech, upon emerging, was angrily denounced by the faithful of the Three Great Religions as derangement, even inciting riots among the believers, but the faithless ones were quickly iron-handedly suppressed by the nations.

In the end, even they had to accept the truth in despair as if their whole family had died.

The number of defectors from the Three Great Religions surged, a development favorable for the ruling nations; thus, they actively encourage it.

A few stubborn believers refused to accept Anleisi’s words, persisting in their view of the orthodox Holy Light Church, refusing to change according to outsider perspectives.

However, when they went out preaching as usual, the gaze from pedestrians changed.

The era of the Three Great Religions is over.

Contrary to these self-proclaiming orthodox believers, another group accepting Anleisi’s words began seeking new transformation.

As of today, about a month after the Scameroon incident, former believers gathered in an intact Holy Light Church.

Holding burning candles in their hands, with flames casting shadows on their faces, obscuring their expressions.

"Today, our brothers and sisters gather here to offer prayers to our deity, to bless all our compatriots suffering in Scameroon."

A believer stood on the podium, raising his arms high, flames instantly surged behind him, illuminating the newly arranged.....

Sunlight King, Gwyn’s statue?

"Come now, this moment is to praise our master, the Light God Gwyn!"
