Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
The Supreme Dome, Divine Kingdom of the God of Light.
The God of Light, Bayedell, was reclining lazily on his throne.
Before him floated a book page emitting a faint glow, recording the poignant love story “Chasing the Cow and the Ghost.”
“Oh! Praise Ouranos! What a deeply moving love story!”
Bayedell’s eyes welled up with tears, his gray beard trembling with his lips.
Two palm-sized cherubs, conjured from holy light energy, giggled as they wiped his tears.
Unlike the handsome, radiant knight rumored in the lower realm, Bayedell’s true appearance was that of a barefoot old man with a gray beard, wrapped in a bath towel.
He had a perfectly square face, muscular, bare legs, and hairy calves beneath his towel.
“I really wish I could see their stage play… King of Winter truly knows how to come up with interesting little things…”
Bayedell sighed. Unfortunately, as a supreme god, he could not leave the lower realm. While he could send an avatar, doing so just to watch a play seemed too extravagant.
Perhaps he could have his angels perform for him?
“Lord, a most peculiar incident has occurred.”
An angel, clad in armor, flew in and knelt on one knee, reporting respectfully.
“Oh? What peculiar things could happen in my Supreme Dome? Don’t tell me Lewenstein is waking up? No, if he wakes up, just knock him out again!”
Bayedell put away his somber demeanor, sat upright on his brilliant throne, and looked solemn.
“Lord, it is not that matter.”
Upon hearing it wasn’t about Lewenstein waking up, Bayedell relaxed and summoned the magic book page again, preparing to continue watching “Chasing the Cow and the Ghost.”
However, what the angel said next almost made him throw himself off the throne.
“The divine grace statue we cast for you this month has suddenly disappeared.”
“Without any warning, even the divinity you left on it has been completely erased.”
“Huh?!” Bayedell was completely stunned.
“Are you sure you’re not joking?”
“How could such a large divine grace statue just vanish?”
“Could there be a mistake?”
Hearing this, the angel’s once fair and handsome face turned a ghastly color.
“Apologies, Lord. The divine grace statue disappeared out of thin air during the casting process by our artisans. We hadn’t even begun to sculpt your likeness.”
Bayedell’s expression flickered. The angel was not lying, nor was he bewitched by the Abyss. He could tell.
So, this meant his divine statue had vanished right under his nose?
Who possessed such unimaginable power?
After all, in the entire upper realm, although his body was still recovering, he was the pinnacle of divine power.
Could it be that entity from the Abyss?
“Never mind. There’s no point in dwelling on it now. I’ll see who stole my divine statue first!”
Bayedell muttered softly, his eyes flaring with divine majesty, bathing the entire hall in a golden light.
These divine statues were meant to store faith for his recovery.
He had been severely injured in a battle a thousand years ago, his divine body contaminated, making it difficult to absorb faith and convert it into divine power.
After years of recuperation, he had improved significantly and could at least absorb some faith.
Thus, the faith accumulated from the lower realm over the years was stored in these divine statues.
When he fully recovered, he could immediately draw upon this stored faith, refine it into his divine power, and rapidly return to his peak state.
Then, he could face the impending world crisis.
Losing a statue wasn’t a major issue; he could simply create another one.
However, this concerned the dignity of his Supreme Dome!
It concerned the dignity of himself, the God of Light!
Moreover, since the culprit could steal the statue from his angels without detection, they were at least his equal.
Bayedell was eager to see who dared to be so audacious!
However, no matter how he channeled his divine power, his eyes could only perceive a swirl of mist.
“How is this possible? My perception as a supreme god has been blocked?”
“Could those guys have descended already?”
Bayedell’s heart tightened, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Investigating those disgusting beings always came with endless murmurs, but this time, it was just a hazy mist, nothing more.
“Who could it be?”
Bayedell leaned back on his throne, questioning his existence.
“The World Will? Or perhaps the Creation Dragon Lord?”
But why would these two supreme beings want his divine statue? It made no sense! They could easily create one themselves if they needed it!
Bayedell was utterly perplexed and could only let it go, burying the question deep within his heart.
“Go and create another one. That statue was actually a gift I gave to an old friend. You don’t need to concern yourselves with this matter anymore.”
“Yes.”
The angel did not dare to question why the God of Light’s attitude had changed so drastically. He bowed respectfully and then withdrew.
Watching the departing angel, Bayedell breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing for the Church of Light was its dignity.
Meanwhile, in Winter City.
【Please host set the appearance of the blank divine statue. Current options include Loli, Ruo Yi, Host himself, Bai Yao, You Ye, and other awakened maids.】
“What else is there to say? Of course, it should be set as me!”
King of Winter felt he was the natural choice for this. He could bear the pressure of being worshipped and admired by everyone. He couldn’t bear to let his loved ones experience such harsh pressure. King of Winter was, first and foremost, a man of integrity!
【Divine statue appearance confirmed. Please host determine the pose of the divine statue.】
“I can choose the pose too? So bold?” Xi Wei’s face lit up. Since he could choose the pose, he definitely wanted the coolest one.
Xi Wei stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then drew the long sword behind him and planted it in front of him. He crossed his hands on the hilt, gazing into the distance towards his bedroom’s balcony with a majestic expression.
“System, this pose, please.”
【Does the host wish to confirm?】
“Confirmed, confirmed, stop dawdling!” Xi Wei urged impatiently in his heart.
“Ouch!”
A surprised cry came from behind him. Bai Yao, while circling the stone statue, had tripped over some vines that were pressed down by the statue’s base.
Inertia carried her forward, and she lunged directly at Xi Wei’s back.
At this moment, Xi Wei was caught off guard. His attention was entirely focused on the system. He was in his castle, surrounded by familiar people, so he wasn’t particularly vigilant.
Therefore, this push caught him squarely. He quickly turned to catch Bai Yao, preventing her from falling. At that very moment, the system captured Xi Wei’s current posture.
Xi Wei’s expression was peculiar, his hands held forward in a half-princess carry of Bai Yao, his body slightly crouched, his rear sticking out. After a distortion, the blank divine statue assumed the exact same pose.
