Chapter 963 The Church of the World
That night, everyone stayed up very late. After such a series of ups and downs, everyone's emotions were stirred up, and it was hard for them to calm down for a while.
With Zhangye's persuasion, Yuta gradually calmed down. The pain had subsided, and there were no injuries left on his body. There was really no point in pursuing these matters any further.
On the contrary, after calming down, Yuta felt somewhat guilty. He realized that almost beating Fang Wuwei to death wasn't Fang Wuwei's intention, and he regretted beating him up...
But before he could even muster a few words of remorse, Fang Wuwei told him that after half an hour of fighting, he hadn't broken through any defenses, and in fact, he hadn't even felt any pain. The fact that he was protecting his head and curling up was all an act.
Just as Fang Wuwei had predicted, Yongtai immediately turned red and wanted to start a second round of fighting. However, this time Fang Wuwei activated his defense, and Yongtai punched him in the face, which felt like hitting an iron plate. The pain from the fist made him calm down instantly.
He had considered calling out the Dark Flame Dragon to deal with Fang Wuwei, but the Dark Flame Dragon told him that his fragment had been beaten by Sammer and damaged his essence. The Stone Wing had only restored Yuta's body, not his soul fragment, and could not come out for a while. In the end, Yuta had no choice but to give up.
As an apology, Fang Wuwei took out all the souvenirs he had brought back from the Harry Potter world. The various magical toys and strangely flavored snacks dazzled everyone. With these things to attract attention, Yuta was no longer annoyed. On the contrary, he happily rummaged through them.
The cockroach pile was a bit unusual; all the snacks and toys had been distributed, but this one was completely untouched.
As for Maki Ikeuchi?
In front of her parents, Fang Wuwei couldn't do anything. He simply walked up to her, smiled and patted her shoulder without saying anything. Then he found a place to sit down and chatted with the Chi couple.
But Maki Ikeuchi's face turned ashen; she immediately realized that her death was probably not far off...
Although Rikka was disappointed that she couldn't go out to play tonight, there was no use in regretting it now, so she simply let go and joined Yuta in playing with everyone. The group of people gathered together, laughing and having a great time, while Fang Wuwei sat at the adult table watching them play and chatting with the Ikeuchi couple.
He was quite interested in the story of Sammer, after all, he had inherited His divine position, so he asked the Ikeuchi couple about the myths and legends of Sammer in the Otherworld.
The myths about Sammer are widely circulated in the Otherworld. After all, Sammer is the god who is closest to and most intimate with humans among all the gods. There are more myths about Sammer than about Amos.
However, the myth Fang Wuwei heard from the Chi couple was almost identical to what Sammer himself had told him. As the god of fire, he brought fire and light to mankind, taught them how to cook and smelt, and imparted to them the methods of planting and driving away wild beasts. Sammer himself even had some authority over the harvest and made great contributions in leading mankind to distant places at that time.
Although the content is largely the same, Maki's mother, Nami Ikeuchi, has some strange and unofficial history. For example, Sammer once disguised himself as a human and walked among humans for hundreds of years, forming bonds with many humans. He also disguised himself as a woman and, after mating with a king, gave birth to a fire giant in the human world. In the end, he was captured by his wife, the water goddess, and made to kneel on a washboard, etc.
Even wilder accounts say that, according to unofficial historical records, in order to obtain things that could help humanity, Sammer once sold his genitals in the realm of the gods, and the thunder god Amos and the sun god Tartascomb were his frequent customers... When this was said, not only Fang Wuwei, but even Maki's father was shocked.
Once Maki's mother started talking, she launched into a long, unfounded tale, spouting all sorts of anecdotes. No one knew where she'd heard them, but in her mouth, all sorts of gods—the elemental gods, the sun and moon gods, the gods of light and shadow—were described in a bizarre and unbelievable way. Fang Wuwei couldn't understand it at all... Fortunately, all these gods are dead now, otherwise, her slander of the gods might have incurred divine retribution.
And so, Fang Wuwei chatted with the adults while Liu Hua Yuta and the other kids played by themselves. This year's Christmas passed by in a lively and cheerful manner.
As the night grew quiet, the adults were arranged to rest in several rooms by Matsuoka Dekomori, while Rikka and the others were too tired from playing to move around. They simply found a spot in the hall, wrapped themselves in blankets, and fell asleep. The Dekomori Manor, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down.
Fang Wuwei, however, was wide awake. He sat quietly on the sofa, watching everyone gradually fall asleep. In the end, only the sweet sounds of snoring filled the hall. He did not lie down, but instead looked up, gazing blankly at the night sky outside the window.
Only after confirming that everyone was asleep did Fang Wuwei bend down slightly, clench his fists to support his head, and slowly close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the realm of gods, sitting on his throne in the same posture. But this was not his ultimate goal. He then slowly closed his eyes again, and the artifact of the Dream God appeared in his hand. His consciousness then descended into the inner world.
He still has a lot to do: experiment with the power of the God of Fire, develop the power of faith, help the corpse of the Second God to condense a physical body... The list is still long, and he is still very busy.
Among all these, developing the churches in both the inner and outer worlds is of paramount importance. He has become quite proficient in dream manipulation, and his skill in transmitting divine power is also gradually increasing. Yuta and his team's Bible writing is nearing completion, and getting involved with Hyuga Kagami is not far off. But before that, he needs to check on the development of the church in the inner world.
The Dream God's artifact allowed him to interfere with reality within his dreams. As his consciousness was transmitted, the originally clear sky in the inner world was suddenly filled with thunder and lightning, and dark clouds covered the sky. Before long, the Thunder God's iconic dark cloud face appeared in the sky, majestically looking down at the earth below.
Ever since Thorin's parents were resurrected and sent back, the power of faith in Thorin's family has never ceased. Such pure and loyal faith is truly something Fang Wuwei is delighted with. Moreover, Thorin continues to preach, and Fang Wuwei can feel that the power of faith coming from the inner world has been steadily increasing over the past month.
This made Fang Wuwei curious about Thorin's development. He had been wanting to come and see for himself, but he hadn't fully grasped the Harry Potter universe magic book he got from Dumbledore, so the matter was put on hold until now.
The sudden thunder and lightning were hard to ignore, and many people were awakened from their sleep, opened their windows and looked up at the sky, where they discovered the thundercloud face.
Fang Wuwei's senses synchronized, and he realized that he was currently in a city that looked very prosperous. He could clearly sense the shock and bewilderment on the faces of the inhabitants of the other world below when they saw the strange phenomenon in the sky. However, what those people did afterward was still beyond his expectations.
Those who were still awake in the middle of the night were stunned for a moment after seeing him, and then their faces lit up with joy. Almost everyone under Fang Wuwei's gaze did the same thing: they all knelt on the ground, put their hands together in front of their chests, and closed their eyes with a pious expression.
Silent prayers, accompanied by countless streams of pure faith power, rose up like trickles of water and flowed into Fang Wuwei's body. He could clearly sense that the faith was condensing and settling within him, further solidifying his already firm foundation of divine power.
The simultaneous prayers startled Fang Wuwei for a moment. Before he could react, the clock tower in the middle of the city was struck, producing a loud sound.
A tremendous bell tolled through the night sky, accompanied by a night watchman's excited, voice cracking:
"The Lord Thor has descended upon the Holy City! The Lord Thor has manifested himself!!"
The sound echoed in the silent night sky, accompanied by the chimes, spreading to every corner of the city.
