571 – The Whole World Is God – 1
Stopping believers due to the Council, obtaining a blank check to rebuild the temple, and Tanian’s surprise pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Several events occurred one after another, but I no longer have to worry about it. The Makgora will quiet down over time, the reconstruction of the temple will be handled by the working staff below, and Tanian’s pilgrimage to the sacred site is still taking place in the eastern part of the continent.
Therefore, Carl, a worker of the empire, returned to being Carl, a natural person who enjoyed honeymoon and childcare leave.
“Ta-da, Pediya, look at this.”
Along with several stuffed animals to give as gifts to Pedi.
“Awww!”
Peddie, who had been lying on Titi’s stomach as a pillow, blinked at the massive barrage of gifts and rolled over to get up on all fours.
It’s a satisfying response. As expected, our pedi must like animals.
‘It’s worth preparing.’
After seeing Pedi crawling over, I placed the dolls that were packed in her bag on the floor one by one.
Unlike the minister who only prepared one messenger, I prepared everything. Representative examples include endangered tigers that can only be seen in zoos, white bears that can be seen in the northeast corner of the continent, giraffes running around in the grasslands west of Juven, and elephants that eat snacks with their trunks.
Lastly, there are pandas that do not exist on this continent.
‘It’s perfect.’
We prepared everything that the baby might be interested in. If even one of these is not chosen by Peddie, it would be because Peddie hates animals or is born with the heart of a lion.
“Abuuu!”
Peddie quickly crawled over, quickly turned his head, tapped the nearest stuffed tiger with his hand, and smiled.
Among many, many animals, a tiger. It is truly a strong choice.
‘I will grow up to be a strong warrior.’
With a happy heart, I gently touched Pedi’s cheek her her. Seeing as he instinctively chooses strong animals, it seems that the blood of the brave Krasius flows through our Peddies as well.
I decided to forget for a moment that the strongest land animal is the elephant.
“Knife? What is this?”
And a while later, Mar, who returned from checking the supplies in the mansion, could not hide his embarrassment when he saw the zoo made up of dolls. The opening of this zoo was a surprise that I didn’t tell anyone.
“Our pedi gift. Isn’t it cute?”
“…It’s cute.”
Mar’s expression her also melted at the sight of Pedi smiling brightly while holding a doll in both hands.
“But isn’t that too much?.”
“It’s a zoo, so there should be something like this.”
If you could count them on one hand, it would be a zoo. You have to be at least 50 or 60 to be worthy of being called a zoo.
‘I’ll have to buy more next time.’
She promised, wrapping her arms around Mar’s waist, who smiled faintly as if she had no choice.
The primary goal is to obtain 100 dolls, and the secondary goal is to retrieve all animals of each type that exist on the continent. The ultimate goal is to fill Pedi’s room with dolls.
It doesn’t matter if Pedi gets tired of the doll. Because we have triplets, cherry blossoms, and the sea.
The Temple of the Eternal Blue Sky is being built in a strictly northern style using Shati’s knowledge.
– I hope that new startups in the future will be like these days.
Thanks to this, faith in the eternal blue sky has become even greater.
Gods officially recognized by the Dawn Church, temples proudly rebuilt in the centers of each great territory, and restoration of northern culture actively promoted by the center of the empire. It would be even more strange if such good news occurred one after another and our faith did not become stronger.
‘So are you now moving to the North instead of the World Tree?’
– Well. I’m going to think about it.
Weird. He is clearly having a conversation in the form of voices echoing in his head, and the image of the eternal blue sky is seen lying down in front of the TV, scratching his stomach. Is this auditory visualization or something like that?
– It’s nice to have my own temple, but there are few places as comfortable as the World Tree. Which would be better, a temple that has just been rebuilt or a world tree that remains in the history of the continent?
‘Wasn’t the World Tree revived last year?’
– Anyway!
When the justification was refuted, Eternal Blue Sky quickly changed its mind. I really doubt that they are holding on because it is too much of a hassle to move.
– I’ve gotten stronger these days, so I see and hear a lot more, right? The continent was very noisy.
Still, it seemed like he was desperately trying to change the subject, so I joined him for now.
If I stimulate the eternal blue sky, which feels good for no reason, and then fall into the sorrowful sky of dark clouds, I become tired and Constantina becomes bothered. Such a disaster should be avoided.
– Perhaps because of the commotion, the energy of Enen spreading across the continent became a little faint.
…?
‘Yes?’
However, an unexpectedly serious topic emerged.
Isn’t that a big deal? If the power of God that dominated the continent weakens, true paganism will emerge to take advantage of the gap, or opposition groups that claim that the Council was wrong will become more rampant.
– Oh, it’s a temporary phenomenon, so don’t worry too much. Suddenly two more people are sitting at the table where I used to sit alone, so I need to adjust my posture. It feels exactly like that.
‘Ah, yes…’
I don’t know what it feels like, but God said it was so, so I passed on it.
Moreover, although the eternal blue sky often shows a sad appearance, he is also a stagnant god who appeared in the world before Enen. The experience here is overwhelming.
– But, if this was in the past, it wouldn’t be a big deal if I became weak for a while, right? When there are many gods, it is normal for the god’s power to fluctuate.
After saying that, the eternal blue sky remained silent for a while. As if he was wondering how to say his next words
Unstable. He said earlier that it was a temporary phenomenon and not to worry, but he is now acting in a way that makes me worry.
– Uhm… Have you ever read the Dawn Church Bible?
‘Yeah, whatever. I roughly saw it.’
And I nodded at the words of the eternal blue sky that broke the silence.
I’m not a devout believer, but I know the basics. If you are a noble and are too ignorant of doctrine or the Bible, you will be misunderstood as a heretic.
– At the end, it says that the evil spirits are sealed in a cold land and the sun is always watching, right?
I shook my head for a moment at the words of the eternal blue sky, who was strangely familiar with other people’s religious bibles.
The last chapter of the Dawn Church’s Bible feels like the Book of Revelation in terms of the entire world of possession. A strange chapter with an atmosphere that contradicts the existing Bible content, and compared to its popularity, few people actually know the content.
‘It certainly seems like there was such content─’
The moment I answered, recalling a memory from the past, a cold sweat ran down my spine.
‘…Isn’t it?’
Therefore, I first denied reality. That’s not what I think. The evil spirit is just a metaphor.
In fact, the Dawn Church Bible contained more indirect metaphors than direct allusions. Even the theologians of the Dawn Church said to the evil spirits sealed in the harsh cold, ‘Let us suppress human sin and evil through the power of faith.’ I believe it was interpreted in the same way.
– There really are evil spirits. During the religious war, Enen gathered together the gods who were particularly noisy and sealed them away.
‘…’
– However, Enen’s power to maintain the seal has weakened a bit… If you are unlucky, it may pop out again…
I didn’t want to hear any more.
I didn’t want to know that the evil spirit was real and not a metaphor, and that it turned out to be an evil spirit and not an evil spirit.
Damn.
The frigid land where Enen sealed the evil spirits was a familiar place to me.
It is an area further north than the north where nomads live, and a place where even nomads spit and run away due to the dirty weather comparable to Siberia. That place was the sanctuary of evil spirits.
‘Somehow.’
The question was finally resolved. It was strange that the nomadic god, who had taken a step back from the religious war, knew so well about the evil god, but it was only because he was sealed in his backyard. If there are evil spirits in his backyard, you will know even if you don’t want to know.
…
‘Why are you there?’
Soon, a fundamental question arises. Of all the wide, wide continents, why was it sealed in the northern backyard?
If you think positively, it is a place where there are no intelligent beings, including humans, so it is a safe seal. But if you think the other way around, if the seal is released, wouldn’t the North be the first to suffer damage? The eternal blue sky condoned sealing it in such a place?
Could it be that he has been a fanatic since then?
‘…Probably not.’
I had a sad and profane guess for a moment, but I quickly put it out of my head.
If the evil spirit had really been defeated like Hogu, the eternal blue sky would have been crying and complaining. Since that wasn’t the case, it seems like the seal was selected through a fair process.
I want to believe so. The sadness of the eternal blue sky in my heart has already reached its lowest point. There is no place to fall anymore.
“Your Excellency.”
While we thought it was a mutual agreement for the dignity of the eternal blue sky, magicians from the Crasius family came rushing in.
“Oh, are you here?”
He nodded while looking at the 10 wizards. At this level, you will be able to use enough teleportation to get to Seonginji and enough cold protection magic to protect yourself from the harsh cold.
In fact, having just one Trixie is more reliable than having 100 wizards, but taking Trixie, who has to take care of triplets, to the northern tip of the continent is a bit much. It would be better to take several wizards from the family.
“It may be a bit dangerous. As I said before, I will definitely provide compensation, but if you change your mind, tell me now. It will be difficult to come back midway.”
“If I can serve you, I can go anywhere with pleasure.”
I laughed at the words of the wizard standing in front.
“Then let’s go. Be careful about distribution.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
I looked at the wizards who were bowing down and quickly putting on a fur coat. No matter how magical it is, you have to dress warmly because you’re going to a place like Siberia.
‘It’s my daughter.’
I smiled bitterly as I felt the fluffy texture that did not suit the weather. Now, I am in charge of the task of checking whether the evil spirit’s seal is intact. Even daily uniforms are amazing at this level.
Of course, I am also human, so I don’t want to take on this type of work,
‘Because it’s near the north, it can’t be ignored.’
Going to check for yourself whether the seal of the evil spirit is intact vs. Ignoring it and then being robbed by the evil spirit that was later released.
The terrible choice was enough to make even the head of the family who enjoyed vacation move.
