Chapter 231 Shaya: Actually, I am the Father of All Gods (Two-in-one)
“Kin Kola.”
Rosha repeated the vocabulary in her heart.
She felt a sense of bewilderment.
However, looking at the crimson-gold field, and the plump, distinct, and abundant maces.
Rosha’s gaze was involuntarily drawn into it, and she found it difficult to regain her senses for a long time.
If—
The farmlands of the Kingdom of Loertala could also possess such a magnificent scene…
Then, in the current kingdom, there would probably not be so many people forced to leave their homes and sell their property to become slaves or refugees due to famine.
And her father would not have contracted an eye disease purely from hunger.
Looking at the light golden field, Rosha could not suppress the yearning and longing in her heart.
However, it was at this moment.
Rosha’s heart suddenly startled.
Because in her vision, she clearly saw—
On the golden field, the human who was originally gently extending his hand and caressing the head of the maiden who closely resembled the Goddess of Abundance, suddenly turned his head and slowly looked at Rosha.
In those pitch-black eyes, there was no majesty that Rosha imagined deities should possess, but rather an extraordinary clarity…
It made Rosha involuntarily think of the beautiful starry sky she saw lying alone in the fields when she was a child.
What is going on?
Rosha subconsciously looked back, only to find nothing behind her.
The gaze of the human youth seemed to be truly looking at her.
This was something she was unable to understand.
In the past, although Rosha had heard legends of revelations and God’s Chosen in the Kingdom of Loertala,
Even for the most devout believers, the revelations they received during prayer were merely a piece of ethereal prophecy or words, or a scene that was difficult to understand.
Even so, those lucky people who received revelations would be revered as the chosen of the gods by believers, hailed as true God’s Chosen, and gain unimaginable prestige and status.
She had never heard of a God’s Chosen who received a revelation being able to see such clear scenes during the revelation, and even the figures in the revelation could look at her so vividly.
“It seems—”
“The abundance that I believed in has taken a completely opposite path after being entrusted to you.”
A calm and distant voice sounded in Rosha’s ears.
The black-haired, black-eyed human youth looked at Rosha quietly.
However, his gaze was incredibly distant, as if he had already seen all the traces of time imprinted on her, her life and past, through Rosha as a medium.
Even the Kingdom of Loertala on the Western Continent.
After a long time, the human youth slowly withdrew his gaze.
Then, he looked at the beautiful maiden beside him.
His originally gentle and calm gaze was now tinged with a hint of severity.
“Abundance.”
“What you’ve done is not up to par.”
Rosha saw that facing his stern gaze.
The maiden who resembled the Goddess of Abundance somewhat guiltily lowered her head.
“However, fortunately—”
“Everything can still be remedied and compensated.”
The black-haired, black-eyed youth sighed softly.
Then, he turned his gaze back to Rosha’s side.
“There is an old saying in my homeland: a child’s fault is the father’s fault, and a teacher’s fault is if the teaching is not strict.”
“Although it was Abundance’s mistake, as her elder, I also have responsibility.”
He slightly turned his body and gave Rosha a deep look.
“It is no shame to come from humble beginnings; to be able to bend and extend is a true man.”
Those indifferent words echoed across the entire vast golden plain.
Immediately after.
Rosha felt a sudden surge in her mind.
Before her eyes, lines of light golden text and corresponding graphics slowly appeared.
As the most ordinary farmer in the Kingdom of Loertala, Rosha was illiterate… that was a privilege only noble lords possessed.
But… when those texts and images appeared—
Rosha felt a clarity in her mind.
Countless fragments of knowledge and memories emerged in her mind.
Then, they were imprinted into her spirit.
…
When Rosha finally came back from the dazed state of dizziness.
The vast and boundless golden fields before her eyes, along with the two figures on the plain, had disappeared.
In their place was the icy cold Prayer Room of the Church of Abundance.
In front of the Prayer Room, the statue of the goddess cast in silver still stood solemnly, appearing magnificent and majestic.
However, at this moment.
Recalling what she had seen and heard in the golden field earlier.
Looking at the statue of the Goddess of Abundance before her, Rosha’s state of mind was drastically different from before.
“What were you doing in the Prayer Room just now?”
“Why did you stay so long, and you didn’t react when I called you… Do you know you’ve gone over your time by several minutes?”
Outside the Prayer Room, the guard looked at the thin and small Rosha with a trace of suspicion.
Immediately after, his gaze suddenly became sharper.
“When you were praying, did you suddenly hear a very ethereal voice from another world, as if from the heavens?”
“Or did you see scenes that do not exist in reality?”
Hearing the church guard’s inquiry, Rosha felt her heart skip a beat.
But then, she put on a bewildered expression: “A voice from another world…”
“Guard sir, what are you talking about?”
“I was just so excited seeing the noble statue of the Mother Goddess that I didn’t hear your voice.”
The guard glanced at Rosha, tutted, and waved his hand impatiently.
“You may go.”
“Remember, if you go over time again next time, I will charge extra.”
If she could discover a new God’s Chosen who had received a revelation within her affiliated church and report it to the Church of Abundance.
Then, as a clergy member of this church district, she would naturally receive commendation from the Headquarters of the Order of Abundance.
It was precisely for this reason that, after sensing a slight clue, the guard had spoken out to test her immediately.
However, it was clear that this little girl had not become that lucky person. The guard did not believe that Rosha, who looked young and had not seen much of the world, could deceive him.
Actually, upon careful consideration, it was understandable.
All the God’s Chosen of the Church of Abundance in the past… came from wealthy noble families.
How could such a dirt-poor girl from the boondocks be favored by the Mother Goddess?
“Okay.”
Rosha nodded respectfully and then walked out of the Church of Abundance.
She felt her heart beating very fast, fearing that the guard behind her would notice something and call her back.
It was not until she walked out of the town and started on the road home that Rosha finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, for a moment, Rosha wanted to confess her received revelation.
To receive a revelation from the Goddess of Abundance was a great blessing.
As long as one became a God’s Chosen, one could become an important figure recognized by the Church of Abundance, receive an audience with the King and the Patriarch of the Order of Abundance, and become a true figure in high society.
Given Rosha’s background, this was undoubtedly a meteoric rise.
That was why the guard did not ask further, because he thought no one could resist such a temptation.
But at the last moment, Rosha still suppressed the urge to confess.
Although she came from humble beginnings, Rosha was not stupid.
Even though the scenes she saw in the Prayer Room were very similar to the rumored revelations…
In reality, Rosha knew very well that this was different from past revelations.
The beautiful maiden, although slightly immature, was undoubtedly the Goddess of Abundance herself in appearance and attire.
Then, who was the black-haired, black-eyed youth beside the beautiful maiden, who looked no different from a human?
The status of that youth appeared to be even higher than that of the Goddess of Abundance, who was called the Mother of Earth.
Although the other party looked human and quite young, Rosha knew very well that such a great deity could not be measured by their appearance regarding their true race and age.
Being able to stand beside the Goddess of Abundance, and even casually pat the head of the maiden who closely resembled the Mother Goddess, meant that he was at least a deity of the same status as the Mother Goddess.
Furthermore, based on their conversation…
He seemed to be the Mother Goddess’s elder?
Countless doubts and confusions echoed in Rosha’s mind.
She had also considered whether it was a hallucination caused by her excessive fatigue and exhaustion from traveling…
However, the knowledge that suddenly appeared in her mind was so clear.
“Wood ash.”
“Fruit peels, eggshells, dry grass, pine needles.”
“Nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer.”
Rosha mentally recited the knowledge that inexplicably appeared in her mind.
It was the formula for a fertilizer called “Kin Kola.”
Her family’s dry and barren farmland, if cultivated normally, would inevitably yield a meager harvest. Unless they sold their property, it would be difficult to survive this famine.
But—
If that fertilizer, as she saw in the dream of revelation… could bring vitality to the entire field.
Then, their family’s famine might not be insurmountable.
“If I could replicate that so-called ‘fertilizer’ in reality…”
Returning to the village, to the leaky hut.
Such a thought arose in Rosha’s heart.
And then, it could no longer be stopped.
…
Several months later.
Rosha looked at the land before her, which was dark and fertile, in stark contrast to the barrenness before.
And the flourishing wheat, each grain round and full.
Her emaciated and thin figure swayed slightly.
Beside her, the middle-aged man suffering from an eye disease and greatly reduced vision stared at the field for a long time, rubbing his eyes again and again, before he could confirm that the scene before him was not an illusion, but a tangible reality.
This was a sight that this father had never witnessed in decades of diligent farming.
Not all land in the Kingdom of Loertala was unsuitable for cultivation, but the most fertile soils had long been seized by the nobles.
Or, strictly speaking, according to the nobles, their devout faith in monthly donations to the Goddess of Abundance had moved the Mother Goddess to bestow the blessings of abundance upon the lands owned by the nobles.
And only the most barren parts were left for commoners like them.
But… now these originally barren lands were radiating a vitality far richer than the fertile fields occupied by the nobles.
In this case.
Not only would her family not have to sell their property to survive this famine.
They could even save some surplus grain to deal with potential natural disasters and man-made calamities in the coming year.
Or they could exchange some grain for daily necessities with traveling merchants.
“Thank the Mother Goddess.”
“For bringing abundance to me and my family.”
Rosha’s father knelt on the fertile soil, devoutly drawing a cross on his chest.
Being visually impaired, he was unaware of the things Rosha had tinkered with. He thought that his earlier request for Rosha to take all their property to the Church of Abundance in town had been effective.
It was the Goddess of Abundance who had responded to Rosha’s prayer, bestowing the blessings that should have belonged to the nobles upon their land.
Beside him, Rosha had also wanted to draw a cross on her chest like her father.
For the residents of the Kingdom of Loertala who believed in the Goddess of Abundance, praising the Mother Goddess had long been an ingrained daily habit.
But then.
Rosha suddenly remembered what she had seen and heard in that Prayer Room.
Although she had indeed seen the Goddess of Abundance on the golden field.
But the one who enabled her to create the fertilizer called “Kin Kola” and help her family overcome the famine…
Was the black-haired, black-eyed youth beside the Mother Goddess.
From beginning to end, the black-haired, black-eyed youth clearly held the dominant position, while the maiden, who seemed to be the Goddess of Abundance in her youth, was obedient to him.
Even.
According to their conversation.
He was the one who personally bestowed the authority of abundance upon the Goddess of Abundance.
“The beautiful maiden beside the black-haired, black-eyed human should be the Goddess of Abundance before she became a god…”
“Or rather, without him… the Mother Goddess would not exist at all.”
Rosha’s eyes narrowed.
She felt as if she had inadvertently discovered a huge secret.
Casually bestowing authority created a god.
And the Goddess of Abundance, the Mother of Earth, trusted and relied on him so much.
Such an existence was clearly a greater and more revered being than the Goddess of Abundance.
Also…
The way the Goddess of Abundance obediently let him pat her head, and guiltily lowered her head without daring to retort when facing his stern gaze, seemed very familiar to Rosha.
Her heart suddenly moved.
Wasn’t that how she behaved when she was with her father as a child?
In other words, the black-haired, black-eyed human youth was actually the father of the Goddess of Abundance?
The King of the Gods?
Or – the Father God?
…
Rosha’s daze lasted for a long time. After a long while, she finally came back to her senses.
Looking at the harvested land before her.
And not far away, other farmers whose fields were still barren, with sallow and thin faces, looked at Rosha’s land with envy.
At this moment, Rosha made a certain resolution in her heart.
Not just to protect herself during the famine.
The fertilizer called Kin Kola could benefit more people.
It could allow more subjects of the kingdom to be free from the suffering of famine and displacement.
Moreover—
She wanted to reveal that truth to all the believers of the Mother Goddess.
That unrevealed truth, hidden behind history.
The one who created the Mother Goddess, bestowed her the authority of abundance, but remained anonymous, unknown to the world—
The “Father of All Gods.”
