How to wear a goddess statue

Time is like the Yilu River, flowing forward without stopping.

Its flow rate is consistent, and its footsteps never stand still.

The past time itself has no meaning, but humans like to divide it into sections and call them eras.

At the same time, people are always talking about those who are particularly outstanding, those who are invincible and reach the pinnacle in their respective eras, those most shining stars in the historical starry sky, those famous people who have achieved and led the era. people--

During the handover period between the ancient Solancia kingdom and the empire, this representative was undoubtedly Eleuil.

Eleuil-Soran-Rotaslera.

This is the official name of the king engraved on the king list of the temple and written in every historical volume.

Every Sauran king has a title, which is different from the real name given at birth. The title is usually obtained at the time of coronation and named according to the gods they believe in.

It's like Rhodes Laila, which means "protected by the god Rhodes".

In addition, only kings who have made extraordinary achievements are eligible to add the title "Soran" between their real names and titles to form a complete king name to show their glory and nobility.

Just her accomplishments before ascending to the throne are enough to earn Eleuil the title of Solan, but in her historical scrolls, and in the records under the king list, the feats of the first empress are far more than these.

In the first year of the era of Rhodes Laila, King Eleuil was crowned and married to God.

In the third year of the Rhodes Lara era, Eleuil personally set out to conquer the country of Kasnier, and the sails of the fleet covered the sky and the sun. In just half a year, the army swept across the entire peninsula. In the same year, Kasnier destroyed the country and the royal family.

In the fourth year of the Rhodes Lara era, many small countries that had provided materials and armaments for Kasna in the Great War were liquidated one by one and merged into the territory of Solancia; the small countries that chose to stand on Solan's side in the past were preserved, willing to or Due to the situation, Ailuil was made king and he was reduced to a subordinate state.

In the same year, King Eleuil summoned outstanding young children from Soran's royal family and affiliated royal families to gather in Acht, and limited age ranges, regardless of gender, to study in the royal city for a long time.

In the ten years of the Rhodes Laila era, the army led by King Eleuil has already traveled all over the continent, excluding the areas where the environment is harsh and unsuitable for human settlements.

At this point, Solancia's territory has expanded to a point where no one has ever been seen before, and no one will come after, becoming the unique master of this land.

In the 11th year of the Rhodes Laila, the kingdom entered the period of unified empire.

——It’s not just Solancia. In the history of the big and small countries in this world, there has never been a shortage of monarchs advocating martial arts and fighting all over the world, and there has never been a lack of war madmen who live as long as they want.

They are the conquerors, leaving behind an unimaginably vast territory for their successors, leaving a great mark in the history of the world.

But such rule is often difficult to maintain, because of the militarism, the foundation is unstable, and because they themselves are the guarantee of the stability of the regime, once the overlord is gone, the building will collapse.

Eleuil, who is famous for her ability to conquer and fight well, could have embarked on this path, expanding her territory like a beast that dominates the territory, until she dies. She was in the glory of the world, and she left the empire to disintegrate Split, no future generations can match.

However, the trajectory of the empire did not develop in this direction after all.

Taking the 12th year of the Rhodes Lala era as a turning point, Solancia focused on stable development. The emancipation of slaves was implemented step by step, military defense and water conservancy and transportation projects began to be constructed, corruption and collusion were suppressed, and regional power was gradually transferred from various regions. The city lord took it back...

Reform is bound to encounter resistance, especially decrees such as the emancipation of slaves and the collection of power that touch the interests of many people. The royal clan and local nobles who are unwilling to hand over their power and power try to jointly oppose a series of decrees. Naturally, resistance is futile.

As the first queen of the empire to expand the territory, Eleuil's control over Solancia is unparalleled.

In the same year, Aleuil screened all the young children of the royal family who were studying in the royal city. After undergoing rigorous and comprehensive selection, a young girl was selected as the heir to the throne, that is, the crown prince.

In the 17th year of Rhodes Laila, the reform has achieved results and has been developing steadily. The position of the city lord who has been deprived of power has gradually turned into a void. The officials appointed and dismissed by the emperor really hold the real power.

In the early autumn of this year, the Temple of the Goddess of War located in the Acht Temple Complex was completed, and Queen Eleuil served as her own priest, and she was also the only monarch in the history of the empire who also served as the priest of the God of War.

After her, every High Priest of the God of War will be a member of the royal family, except for the emperor himself.

In the 20th year of the Rhodes Laila, the queen abdicated due to illness and crowned the 23-year-old crown prince, and the empire was changed to Yuan.

Eleuil.

This name, as king, emperor and god, is engraved in the temple and the royal court at the same time, engraved on the golden throne that was damaged for unknown reasons and recast by unknown skilled craftsmen.

Regarding the whereabouts of the queen after she abdicated, there is no clear record in the imperial history, and there are different opinions in the unofficial history.

Some people say that she stayed in the imperial capital Acht to recuperate, and instructed her successor to handle government affairs; some people said that she was extremely ill and died secretly not long after; The illusion of voluntary abdication.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the queen was not buried in the Solancia Emperor's Mausoleum, and there is only a tall white stone obelisk standing side by side with many previous kings and successors, and nothing else.

What happened to Queen Eleuil after she abdicated?

People who know the answer to the question have never kept their mouths open. At most, they will look at each other tacitly with old friends who also know the same thing, and then smile mysteriously and apologetically at the inquirer.

However, what is the truth?

Thousands of miles away from the prosperous and prosperous imperial city of Acht, far away from the focus of the empire's sight, the city of Kadela, which was once located on the border of the kingdom and is now the junction of the livable area and the province of Sanur, is holding a funeral.

The soul that returned to the Kingdom of God in the mourning of the crowd belonged to the most respected old man in the area, named Mu Ya.

She is the priest of the Cadella Temple and the mother of the high priest of the river goddess in the imperial city. She has been in this position for decades, until the last day of her life, she died without illness or disaster.

The high priest Rhea personally baptized the mother.

At the moment when the water drops of the Ilu River hit the forehead of the deceased, the soul of the old priestess escaped from the shackles of the body and emerged slowly.

The stern and solemn features on that face have not diminished compared to those in the past.

The translucent soul first looked at the daughter with nostalgia, and then looked behind the mourning crowd.

There, the silver-haired god invisible to humans smiled and greeted.

Beside the god, a tall and straight woman was very close to the god, but she was only wearing a hood, so she couldn't see her face clearly, and a few strands of black hair flowed out from under the hood.

As if sensing the gaze of the priestess' soul, she gave a solemn farewell gift.

The moment he turned around and was about to leave, the wind passed through the forest, lifted the brim of his hat slightly, and briefly revealed a pair of golden eyes.

Rotas tilted his head slightly, and raised his hand to hold the brim of Eleuil's hat.

"go home."

According to the official statement, His Majesty Eleuil, who had abdicated due to illness, was very healthy at this time, and responded with a radiant and radiant face: "Well, let's take a walk before going back? It's been a long time since we went to the market together."

As he said that, he pinched the half-empty and half-real fingers of the god very naturally, and clasped his fingers together. Perhaps it seemed a bit like holding the air to outsiders—but now no one is looking here.

As a result, Rhodes changed from a spirit body to a real body, and the image of a black-haired, blue-eyed female official appeared beside Eleuil, and the touch between her fingers quickly solidified.Soft, cool and slender.

Contrary to the reason for his abdication, Eleuil was not affected by the illness at all.

In terms of age, Aleuil is nearly half a hundred years old, but her appearance is fixed at the time when she was just crowned, and her physical strength and spirit have always remained at the peak, never declining. It seems that time has only favored her and stopped flowing on her body.

This is true.

As the body of a demigod, Eleuil will not age, and his appearance has remained unchanged for 20 years. This is an excellent proof of the theory of reincarnation, but the queen does not plan to sit on the throne for a long time.

Yes, at the moment when the Wheel of the Empire was on the right track and was able to leave the Queen and run steadily on the track, Eleuil decisively claimed that he was sick and ran away.

Rhodes: "..." Not bad.

As promised one day in the past, the river goddess and the retired queen came to Kadela and lived in the secret wilderness in the mountains outside the city, living a leisurely life without the disturbance of many government affairs and many people.

However, Rhodes is okay, Eleuil is not a character who can live in seclusion in a stable house - although she really wants to live in seclusion with Rhodes.

The river goddess knew this, and she knew Eleuil as she knew herself, so after a year of seclusion, the two embarked on a tour around the continent.

Go to an ordinary town in the empire, visit the local scenery like an ordinary traveler, taste the special food, and record the local customs by the way.

Go to the depths of the Sanur wasteland and explore the real forbidden desert in a more distant direction. No one knows it, and there is a water god walking with it.

Beyond the archipelago in the southern waters, there is only the shadow of a single boat in the blue sea and blue sky, and groups of dolphins jump out of the water behind the boat, jubilant like giant fish in Lake Gadar.

When they were in the empire, the two occasionally contacted old acquaintances in the imperial city through the golden eagle sisters, and learned about their old friends.

Once, they ran into Romul, who looked like a bard, in a small city in the eastern part of the empire. He was surrounded by a circle of children listening to stories. With several upturned heads, the two sides looked at each other and nodded at each other. He indicated that he never met again after that.

Every three to five years, the two would return to Acht, and even attended the inauguration ceremony of Eleuil's tombstone.

For those who will not age, the passage of time may be more difficult to measure.

Mortis, who is also the captain of the Royal Guard for life, and Neymar, the only blood relative, has fulfilled his long-cherished wish as a general to guard the border, and Shalu, who has entered the trial court to fight for the liberation of all slaves.

Luca, who cut his straw hair short and replaced his father as the city magistrate of Elulera, Kopal, who resumed his female attire and went to the imperial city to take up important positions, and Ahino, who lived a peaceful life away from the province of Sanur.

These people have returned to the underworld successively over the past few decades.

Until the crown prince selected by Eleuil passed away in office, and the throne was passed on to the next successor, Eleuil's physical condition remained as usual.

The human gods of Solancia usually die as human beings, and after many years, their souls will instinctively come to the temple where they are enshrined, and wake up in the temple.

However, Eleuil was the first to become a demigod in a human body. She has no signs of aging or death, and there is no precedent for reference. No one knows how she will become a god.

But one day, Aleuil fell asleep without warning.

There is no ambiguity, he is really asleep, his breathing is steady and his body is warm.

Calculating the years and months, it has probably reached the limit of human lifespan, and Rhodes suddenly guessed that this should be the period of deep sleep before becoming a human god.

Taking the sleeping Eleuil with her, Rhodes returned to the kingdom of the gods she had just bid farewell to - she and Eleuil had only attended the feast of the kingdom of God a few months ago.

"Sleep!"

"I'm going to become a god."

"Great, I thought Eleuil would always remain in a semi-god state, so it would be too nerve-wracking, right?"

"It turns out that the demigod's promotion will suddenly fall into a deep sleep. This is a very representative case, but the whole process is difficult to reproduce..."

The Lord God colleagues joined the discussion one after another.

In the end, the god of the sky—due to a round of sleep after the battle, he woke up in a random old posture—struck his long beard and suggested: "Send Eleuil to the God of War Temple to rest. Don't worry, it shouldn't be It's been too long, you were a special case when you slept for a thousand years, in comparison, her soul was not damaged."

Rhodes thought so too.

However, after Eleuil was settled, Rhodes also lay down beside her.

Above his head is the dome of the temple symbolizing the starry sky of the empire's beliefs. Lotus turned his face sideways, looked at his lover's sleeping side face, and smiled lightly, with a little uneasiness about the uncertainty of the future.

In the palm of the river goddess, there is a light golden spar.

It was to prevent Aleuil from losing his memory after becoming a god, and asked the God of Wisdom Nerd to make a memory spar.This is the domain of his theocracy.

This spar has been made a long time ago, backing up all the important pieces in Eleuil's memory, especially the memories with Rhodes.

The most recent memory storage update was at the last banquet.

After waking up this time, will Aleuil remember?

Remember everything about being human, remember Rhodes.

Rhodes wasn't sure.

But in any case, it was Eleuil, her true love.

His eyelashes drooped, and Rhodes also fell into a deep sleep.

------

A hundred years passed.

In the kingdom of the gods, inside the temple of the Goddess of War, the air mechanism gradually changed, the weapons hanging on the four walls vibrated, and the stars on the dome flickered.

Affected by the fluctuations in the surrounding aura, the silver-haired river goddess slowly opened her eyes.

The moment he woke up from his deep sleep, Rhodes immediately realized that Eleuil was about to "wake up", and the Goddess of War would wake up in her full divine body.

Rotas squeezed the memory spar in his palm tightly, and held Eleuil's hand beside him with the other hand, passing between the slender honey-colored fingers, interlocking.

She waited quietly.

Finally, Aleuil's breathing and heartbeat stopped at the same time, and this was precisely the manifestation of being molded into a complete god body, because gods don't need breathing and heartbeat.

A moment later, on that familiar and glamorous face, the black eyelashes moved, and the eyelashes were raised, revealing dazzling pupils like molten gold.

Rhodes called in a low voice: "Ailu."

Turning around with dazed golden eyes, he looked over.

A brief pause.

Rhodes held his breath unconsciously, the edges and corners of the memory spar piercing his palm.

Will it be needed?

It's not surprising that humans and gods seal up their memories, and Luo Dasi has experienced it before, even so, there is still a kind of subtle unwillingness.

The two gods looked at each other without blinking.

Suddenly, Aleuil's eyes were slightly curved, and the corners of his lips curled up in a pleasant and intimate arc.

The reappearance of breathing and heartbeat is a habit brought about by human beings. The Goddess of War bent her knuckles and held Luodus' hand instead.

"Rhodos."

Aleuil said, and then hugged her sideways, the imitative breath of the gods fell on the neck, itching slightly.

For a moment, my heart settled down.

Rhodes closed his eyes and said softly, "Welcome back, Ailu."

From the past to the future, the long lives of gods and civilizations, they will spend with each other.

The author has something to say:

I've been a little busy these days, and I've been struggling with how to write this episode, so the update is two days late, sorry!

This is the end of the story of becoming a god, the next chapter should be about the gods descending to enjoy modern technology (?)
