  As Lu Zhiyu put his hand on Cetisius’ forehead, Cetisius felt the infinite knowledge and power from Lu Zhiyu’s palms pouring into him. An inexplicable feeling and joy surged in his heart.

  “This is a revelation. God has chosen me to be His spokesperson!” he exclaimed.

  The dark sun of the underworld gradually became full, and Cetisius opened his eyes and immediately saw the projection of the sun of the underworld in the sky. It was expanding.

  At this time, people in the city of Pusuote discovered that, as the sun set, a strange sun rose slowly from the top of the heavenly palace and a large number of priests poured out into the palace. At this moment, all of the monks looked at the great palace that rose high in the center, many of them exclaiming in wonder.

  “What is that?”


  “Is that a sun?”


  “How can there be a dark sun?”


  All of the people of Pusuote walked out on the streets. Nobles, businessmen, hawkers and farmers were all shocked as they looked at the rising dark sun. They didn’t understand how this could be happening. But, they knew that the sun was rising from the direction of the palace.

  The heat and light of the sun radiated throughout the city of Pusuote, making the deepest parts of everyone’s souls feel touched. This was the awareness that was attracted by the sun. Living people couldn’t feel the light of the sun of the underworld, but one’s awareness and one’s soul could feel its warmth!

  “That is coming from the direction of the palace!”


  “This is a miracle!”


  Many people shouted, and at the moment, the noise of the outside world was in sharp contrast with the silence in the great palace. At that moment, Lu Zhiyu saw Cetisius stand up slowly. They looked at each other, and Cetisius began to shed tears.

  “Are you leaving?” he asked Lu Zhiyu.

  As he was standing outside the palace, the night wind blew Lu Zhiyu’s robe, and the stars all over the sky seemed to shine again.

  “The God of the sky is in charge of the space world! The God of death is in charge of the underworld, and you are in charge of the earth!” When Lu Zhiyu said this, he saw his body and robe blowing with the wind and gradually turning into smoke. They then disappeared into the air.

  Cetisius looked at Lu Zhiyu as he was disappearing. His whole body was shaking with excitement, while his breathing became more and more heavy.

  “Please don’t leave! Everyone in Batko needs your salvation!” Cetisius begged.

  As Lu Zhiyu did not say a word, Cetisius looked in the eyes of Lu Zhiyu and suddenly understood something. A gentle smile spread over his face, holy and innocent, like a newborn child. He then exclaimed, “Gods are in heaven, the dead are in the underworld, and the living are on the earth. I am the one who will save Batko!”


  Then, following the disappearance of Lu Zhiyu, all of the bronze statue ghosts within the palace also disappeared, and the heavenly palace began to expand rapidly. It was as if it had broken away from its shackles.

  Cetisius managed to get the holy book of the heavenly palace finished and divided into three volumes: the book of the gods, the book of the living, and the book of the deceased. The book of the living was widely publicized as being the rulebook for the guidance of gods to the human world. The priests of the heavenly palace also used it as their guiding book to spread the beliefs of the heavenly palace to all believers.

  The holy book depicted the ideal world in Cetisius’ mind. People would go to the underworld where the trial would be held. Good people would then start a reincarnation, while the wicked ones would suffer forever. There were also a lot of debates about law and philosophy in this book, which Cetisius used to regulate believers’ behaviors.

  The book of the deceased recorded the divine incantations of the underworld’s and the present world’s priests. He decided who would become priests to master the divine incantations.

  Only Cetisius knew the contents of the book of the gods. It was said that this book recorded the keys that could access the Divine Kingdom, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people. This was especially important because in the Divine Kingdom people could avoid the trial of good and evil.

  Following the completion of the three holy volumes, the beliefs of the heavenly palace were completely rebuilt and the prestige of Cetisius grew even more. Everyone revered his noble qualities and all of the believers in the Pusuote region knew his name and called him a saint on earth.

  At this time, the high priest of the heavenly palace was still the Anke Pusuote, which was the first high priest who was selected by Lu Zhiyu. Now, Anke became the one who limited the development of the heavenly palace. He was also an important obstacle for Cetisius in expanding the belief of the heavenly palace.

  Anke Pusuote was not only the high priest of the heavenly palace, but he was also the leader of the Pusuote family. As such, he had great influence over the Pusuote region and held a great amount of both religious and bureaucratic power.

  The growing prestige of Cetisius and the legends about him that were circulating among the ordinary people made Anke Pusuote become suspicious of his loyal subordinate. In fact, from the moment that Cetisius received the inheritance of the gods, a deep jealousy was ingrained within him.

  After all, Anke Pusuote was afraid of losing his position. He liked the feeling that he was high and that everyone was looking up to him.

  All of this had made him afraid that Cetisius would take everything away from him. So, he began to suppress Cetisius’s power and prohibit his speeches and beliefs from being spread inside the heavenly palace.

  However, with the completion of the holy book, the influence of the heavenly palace was gradually increasing. Hence, more people in Pusuote began to accept the beliefs of the heavenly palace, and everyone began to become believers.

  They all contributed this to Cetisius’ teachings. After all, it was he who, at all costs, personally guided the priests of the heavenly palace to various poor villages and towns and proclaimed his beliefs.

  This made Anke Pusuote angry to the extreme. In the eyes of everyone, he was just a high priest who sat by doing nothing. Yet, no one knew the great efforts he had made for the development of the palace. Plus, several wins in diplomatic warfare were to his credit, but all of this was unknown by the masses!

  “The development of the palace was my doing! He is lucky to get the inheritance of the gods and help compile the holy book. Why him? And why was my effort not recognized?” Anke was obviously feeling sorry for himself.

  The competition between Anke and Cetisius had become even more fierce. Inside the heavenly palace, the people had also split into two groups.

  Cetisius remained respectful of Anke, as he was his former master, not to mention that Anke was the first high priest appointed by god and his position was unshakable. As such, Cetisius would never deal with Anke unscrupulously.

  However, with the increasing hostility inside the heavenly palace, something Cetisius feared and was unwilling to see was bound to happen……
