The light of preservation gradually dissipated, as if Zhao Manyan's heart had turned to ashes.
He stood there, and if he had any regrets in his heart, it was that he couldn't continue to sow seeds all over the world.
This was a huge regret in Zhao Manyan's heart.
Just as Zhao Youqian gestured for the two assassins to act, the wooden fish vessel hidden in his soul shone brightly, as if awakening from countless years of dust!
"Mo!!!"
"Mo~!!!" Suddenly, between the sea dike and the Venice sea area, two roars that shook the sky and the entire City rolled up abruptly, appearing particularly heart-pounding and terrifying in the dark night!
In the intertwined light and shadow of the sea, a black island suddenly rose from the sea level, and giant waves surged to the clouds, turning into one after another sky-covering tsunamis that rushed in all directions!
A huge island, it suddenly stood up!
In Venice City, hundreds of thousands of people witnessed the sky-covering tsunami approaching, countless Mages flew into the sky, and the alarm sounded instantly, and purple light illuminated Venice City at the first moment!
A huge, mountain-like shadow was cast, obscuring all moonlight and starlight; Venice City, compared to the suddenly rising island, was like a toy City that could be easily destroyed by it.
However, this huge creature did not seem to intend to destroy this City; after appearing, it directly left.
The sea dike land was no less than a long, narrow town, but now it was completely destroyed, and the central area was all submerged by seawater.
The old Mages of Venice were slow to react, flying sparsely to this place, and their faces turned extremely ugly after seeing the sea dike land submerged.
Venice City is the most famous City of Water, and there are quite a few Super-Order Mages hidden, but from the appearance to the departure of that small island beast, not a single Super-Order Mage truly took action.
The entire Venice City was silent in unease; that small island sea beast, which could cause great destruction, was so close to Venice City, yet no one noticed it.
It could be said that if that small island sea beast had hostility towards humans, one district of Venice City would instantly sink into the sea!
This truly made them feel slapped in the face; of course, they were also fortunate that the other party did not have too much hostility, or perhaps completely disdained them, otherwise, the casualties would be immeasurable!
Afterward, the news of Zhao Manyan's disappearance spread, but no matter who told this story, they could only say that Zhao Manyan was too unlucky.
Who called that an existence that even Super-Order Mages in Venice could not detect?
Even Super-Order Mages couldn't see it; Zhao Manyan, a High-Level Mage, being targeted, could only be said to be unlucky.
After failing to find Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan's group traveled to Greece; the original plan was for them to receive the blessing of the new Goddess on the day of the Goddess selection ceremony at the Parthenon Temple, gathered under the divine mountain by believers from all over the world, but the election seemed to have no reasonable result, so the birth of the Goddess would still take some years, and their Divine Seal Blessing would be performed by the Temple Mother on her behalf.
He was not worried about Zhao Manyan, because Baxia would protect him.
Upon arriving at the Parthenon Temple, following the Million-Stairway of the divine mountain, the National House personnel proceeded to the Faith Hall under the lead of Feng Li and Pang Lai.
Every day, people flocked to the Faith Hall to pray for blessings; many, in order to gain health and longevity, would even spend a fortune just to exchange for that bit of faith contribution, so as to receive blessings from the Goddess Hall.
The blessing of an intern female attendant could keep an infant from getting sick or infected with diseases for ten years, and since the people of the Goddess Hall could not personally bestow this blessing upon everyone, they would select from the most devout believers and those willing to contribute a large sum of money.
For a health blessing, believers are willing to endure ten years of wind and rain without fail, and the wealthy spend a fortune, while the Divine Seal Blessing is the most supreme magic in the blessing system, immeasurable by money.
This is also why Parthenon is not short of money.
Although the role of money is not very significant after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it is important to know that a force does not consist solely of top-tier Mages; there are always some new forces joining.
And these naturally all require money.
Furthermore, while money cannot buy some top-tier items, it can be exchanged for more advanced necessities in the continuous exchange of rare materials.
"Why not wait until the Goddess is chosen? We're not in a hurry. I heard that the Goddess's Divine Seal Blessing will bestow greater enhancement," Jiang Shaoxu asked, puzzled.
"There must have been some issues with the election, and there won't be a result in a short time. The Temple Mother is also good; she is the strongest in the blessing system besides the Goddess. Her Divine Seal Blessing is very solid and skillful; at least it can make your basic power reach 1.4 times, and if stable, 1.5 times is not a problem," Pang Lai explained.
"This is my first time on the divine mountain, but Parthenon has a no-flying restriction. Walking up the Million-Stairway step by step like this, it must take over an hour to climb, right?" Jiang Yu said.
"Yes, it will. Although we are not believers, since we are receiving such a favor, this basic respect and sincerity are necessary," Pang Lai said.
Mo Fan curled his lips and said, "What kind of favor is this? We earned it with our strength, and it's a reward they voluntarily contributed to the World Institute."
Pang Lai did not deny Mo Fan's statement, but still said, "Not everyone can come here. Since you're here, just treat it as sightseeing and travel. Let's walk slowly and appreciate the scenery of the divine mountain."
Mo Fan just shrugged; for others, this was indeed the case.
But for him, wouldn't the future just be a backyard?
Again, he naturally understood that the reward of this Divine Seal Blessing was far less beneficial to an individual than the second-place reward.
But it is important to know that there is also a huge difference in the distribution of national resources between first and second place.
This can also be considered a contribution to the country.
The divine mountain was lush and green, with a profusion of flowers; turning over each side of the mountain, one could often see vast expanses of flowering trees covering the mountains and plains. When the mountain breeze blew, colorful flower petals danced lightly in the air, beautiful as a painting and fragrant, truly a sacred place on earth.
"What is that over there? It's so beautiful!" Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed upon seeing a cliff with a hollowed-out middle.
The cliff, like a bridge, connected this mountain to another light blue fragrant mountain. Between the precipitous cliffs, a swing, like something from a fairy tale house, hung there, dangerous yet enchanting like a wonderland.
"The Saintess Asha蕊雅's bedchamber is on the cliff; that area is already part of the Goddess Hall, and we probably can't go up there freely," Pang Lai replied.
Mo Fan looked up along the cliff and indeed, at the end of that wonderland swing house, a white palace building emerged from amidst a large expanse of green tree canopies, serene and sacred.
After a glance, Mo Fan thought to himself: I need to remember this.
Of course, he was only interested in Asha蕊雅's house, and had no strange thoughts.
