Chapter 860: Lanci and Sigrid's Monastery Date_3
Sigrid vividly narrated.
She and Violet couldn't help but talk again about the goddess's deeds.
"Is that how the Northern Continent's version goes? But the mercy of the Moon Goddess protects not only humans but all living creatures."
Violet was full of emotion.
"Actually, in our ancient murals, the Wolf Clan has a connection with the Moon Goddess since the Divine Era..."
Once the two started talking about the Moon Goddess, they couldn't stop, from the praises of the Silver Moon and Healing Goddess to myths, their worship of the Moon Goddess was apparent.
Lanci stood by with arms crossed listening to their chat, quiet as a big gray cat.
Legend has it that the Wolf Clan was a race created by the Silver Moon Goddess during the Divine Era, making the Moon Goddess an ancestor of ancestors for them.
For ordinary followers of the Moon Goddess, they wouldn't have this kind of closeness and reverence towards the Moon Goddess.
So Lanci couldn't interject much, listening quietly was the greatest respect.
"By the way, did you hear? The Cerryti Empire might lean more towards revering the Moon Goddess rather than the War God soon."
Violet spoke to Sigrid while glancing again at Lanci.
She had just heard this internal news from a War God companion.
"No."
Both Lanci and Sigrid shook their heads.
After resolving the Cerryti Empire's turmoil, neither of them cared about Cerryti's affairs anymore, nor did they have any desire to interfere. The future of the Cerryti Empire should still be up to the people of the Cerryti.
But hearing Violet's words, they understood a bit of what Violet was trying to express.
On the land that is now the Cerryti Empire, there were once three massive countries: the Seross Empire, the Elsayia Holy Domain, and the Vensi Free Federation.
The Seross Empire worshiped the God of War and Sword.
The Elsayia Holy Domain worshiped the Silver Moon and Healing God.
The Vensi Free Federation worshiped the God of Storm and Freedom.
The Cerryti Empire was founded mainly from the ultimate victor, the Seross Empire, so the War God has always been the most revered deity by the Cret Royal Family.
However, now a new era has begun.
Even the newly crowned emperor is no longer from the Cyrus Royal Family, so there is no need to steadfastly revere the War God, who is associated with war sensitivity. The next goal is cessation of war and maintaining peace, so the Moon God and Wind God are more suitable to replace the War God's current status in the Cerryti Empire.
Generally speaking, most large countries will have a main god they have worshiped since ancient times, sometimes more than one.
For example, the main gods worshiped by the Hutton Kingdom are the Gods of Destiny and Reincarnation, while the main god worshiped by the Poseen Kingdom is the God of Love and Will.
As for the Cerryti Empire, since it was formed by merging three countries, the War God, Moon God, and Wind God can all be regarded as the main deities worshiped by Cerryti, and the headquarters of the largest Moon God Church and Wind God Church on the Southern Continent are both located in the Cerryti Empire.
The Sixth Army God Shuicang Jade Violet is the Moon God High Priest, and the Eleventh Military God Emerald Simon Luo is the Wind God Chief; no matter whether to promote the Moon God or Wind God in the Cerryti Empire, it is very convenient for those inside the Army God.
"Then why not simply make the Goddess of Destiny the new main god of Cerryti, the new emperor happens to be the Great Priest of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, so becoming the Holy Emperor would directly unite divine and royal authority."
Sigrid asked.
"..."
Violet fell silent.
The Talia cat in her hand also looked at Lanci.
Talia felt that Lanci and Sigrid completely shared one brain, with identical thoughts.
Lanci had once taken a historical step backward.
"Forcing the Church of the Goddess of Destiny to become the new main god church of the Cerryti Empire isn't good, Loren and Artemis don't want to do that, after all, it's important to respect the local residents' culture and historical traditions, and the Goddess of Destiny is not a deity needing urgent evangelism like an Evil God."
Lanci thought for a little while and answered Sigrid.
Loren, being a reluctant emperor only going in to put out fires, wouldn't do something that turns history backward.
"Yes, in the end, they might make the Moon God the main deity."
Violet informed them of the imperial discussions' outcome.
Loren's faith is quite subtle; he himself is a Great Priest of the Goddess of Destiny, and his best spells and divine arts have many connections with the Wind God.
But in Simon Luo's view, now it is still the symbolic significance of the Moon God that is most fitting for the Cerryti Empire.
"So in the end, maybe a modern Temple of the Moon Goddess should be built, not just limited to ancient relics like the Saint Kray Monastery, but rather a Temple of the Moon Goddess constructed by the current people of the Cerryti Empire, in memory of innocent sacrifices and to remember the gentleness and mercy of the Moon God."
Violet continued to speak.
"Then your status in the empire would have to rise to the level of the Pope."
Lanci preemptively congratulated Violet.
"Although I'm glad that the Moon God can be worshiped by more imperial people, I actually don't want to bear so much power..."
Violet sighed.
For her, power is not convenience, but entirely responsibility.
"For example, just deciding how to finalize the construction plan for the Bulida Moon Temple is going to give me headaches for the coming period. I really wish the great craftsmen from a hundred years ago could revive."
Violet now nearly wishes to be able to lie on a sickbed as a way to rest one more day.
"I do know an expert in civil engineering, but her temper...if you ask her to handle infrastructure, she might get very angry."
