Chapter 52 The Goddess Isis

Adam was completely stunned.
In his line of sight, the enormous silhouette of a tree loomed in the very center of the universe, giving off an intense sense of focus that could not be diverted.
From here, even at such a distance, you can feel its grandeur and immensity. So, if you were to approach it...
Would it be even more awe-inspiring? Making one realize they are like ants under a tree?
And for some reason, he looked at the distant world tree, looked at the huge shadow of the tree canopy, as if he could feel a certain familiar divine power contained in it.
That feeling seemed to be hidden in the depths of his memory.
As Adam pondered, Pierre and Sejohn had already walked towards the other side of the cliff and shouted for Adams to follow.
Regaining his thoughts, Adam fixed his gaze deeply on the towering World Tree and, recollecting his thoughts, walked towards Pierre and others.
……
Adam followed Pierre to the water-based Kingdom of Isis, crossing a massive lake.
The Kingdom of Isis, unlike the Kingdom of Les, has a large population not only in the capital city but also in numerous towns.
It has only one country.
On the volcanic island, people continue the tradition of living together in one place.
This has resulted in a crowded feeling as the population grows.
Adam followed them onto the street and proceeded towards the direction of the council hall, which was located on a higher ground to govern the kingdom.
However, they were not heading to the council hall, but to a temple of higher status dedicated to praying to the gods.
That is the temple for praying to the deities, built at the highest point of the island on the lake.
Adam, who was waiting at the staircase leading up from the foot of the mountain to deliver Queen Ianna's command, felt a little uncomfortable.
It was not the excitement or unease of seeing an acquaintance, but a strange and inexplicable feeling of oppressive confinement.
He seemed to sense an unexplained oppression.
He turned his head left and right, but did not find anything unusual. But where did this inexplicable and eerie feeling of confinement come from?
Thinking about this, Adams waited for the reply allowing him to meet.
Pier and Xihan urged Adams to hurry, feeling honored.
Remember, not everyone has the privilege to visit the Temple of Prayer and meet the priestess Inanna, let alone being the first queen.
After ascending a row of stairs, Adams finally reached the highest point of the Kingdom of Isis.
The Temple of Prayer to the Gods.
But upon stepping foot here, the sense of oppression only grew stronger.
However, he didn't show it on his face. He quietly surveyed the surrounding guards and soldiers and found that their expressions were serious and devout, seemingly without symptoms like Adam's.
They are different from Pier and Sihan, with calm and indifferent expressions.
Instead, Pier and Sihan have devout and fervent expressions on their faces, as if they see something, bowing down on the steps ahead and worshiping a huge idol on the open space ahead.
His face was crazy, and he would occasionally look up at the sky.
But Adams looked towards the sky and didn't see anything unusual.
Just as Adams was contemplating whether or not to interrupt their worship, a voice seemed to emerge from the depths of time and made him stand frozen in place.
"Xiao Adams, you're back."
Adams, hearing this familiar tone, stood still and turned his head towards his side.
It was a figure he was familiar with, although the passage of time had left traces on her body, he could feel the affection in her eyes full of doting.
Adams is agitated and exclaims, "Sister Iana!"
Adams wants to hug Iana, but he realizes that she is no longer the same as before, and he himself is no longer a child.
So he stood still, unable to suppress the excitement that was trembling within his body.
Sensing Adam's excitement, Iana smiled gently and approached him, just like she used to when they were children, gently stroking his head with her palm.
"You've grown up, Adams."
"You all have grown so tall."
Ianna's voice was full of emotion, and her expression showed no extra shock that Adams was still alive.
Because Ianna knew that Adam disappeared when he was still on the volcanic island, she didn't believe like everyone else that he was dead. She knew that Adam was still alive, although the details were ambiguous.
Now, looking at Adams' return, she couldn't help but guess that Adams was the one taken away by Leis and brought back to the Leis Kingdom.
On the other hand, Adams on the other side felt a mysterious force binding her body disappear after Ianna touched her head, as if she could once again mobilize the power of her body.
Adams faced Inanna and asked his question.
"The power is bound?"
Inanna smiled and looked at Adams, opening her mouth and saying, "Adams, you followed them back."
"So you must also understand our current beliefs, right?"
Hearing Inanna's gaze towards Pierre and Séan still worshiping the giant statue, he now noticed the abnormalities of this deity.
Could it be...
Iana noticed that he was paying attention and spoke up: "That is the god Isis."
"It is the current belief of the people, the new deity worshipped by the people of the volcanic island who once believed in the gods of the era and the goddess Isis."
"When the people who were once unable to understand why the gods did not lend them a helping hand, and when they did not want the tragedy they had experienced to happen again, the gods they believed in remained indifferent."
“所以他们塑造了新的神明，给予祂信仰，而在这神性信仰的滋润下，众人的信仰愿力有了目标的指引归宿。”
“它们传递到这个神像之上，经由神像浸染神性，祂仿佛有了介于真实与虚幻的神秘的雏形之体。”
"Only by having faith in Him and perceiving the power of secrets, can one catch a glimpse of His form and harness His mighty strength."
As if explaining to him, Ianna revealed the secrets of the Kingdom of Isis.
"The power of secret magic?"
"Adams couldn't help but utter the word as it sounded familiar to him."
"Seeing Adams' puzzled expression, Ianah gently spoke: 'It was once the path to immortality bestowed upon the people of Isis by the god of the era, En.'"
"Its former name -"
Before Inanna could say it, Adams trembled and already guessed it, the divine nature that was cast into the world from the Starry Universe, embodied in the New Moon.
"Divine factor."
Adams muttered softly.
Inanna smiled at Adam, knowing he was someone who had experienced the baptism of mythology, and he still remembered everything from the mythology.
She was relieved by this.
"Since you're back."
"Then let me show you the deity shaped by the masses, the goddess Isis."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Inana's voice as she spoke to Adams.
Ianna reached out her right hand towards Adams, as her hand got closer and closer to Adams' pupil, her palm emitted a purple glow.
Adams did not feel afraid.
He did not dodge, and she believed that Ianna would not harm him.
Looking at Adams, who trusted her, Ianna's eyes flashed with complex light. Then, with a thought in her mind, a light spread from her hand pressed against Adams' head.
Adam's pupils seem to flicker with a mysterious light.
Gazing at the seemingly unhinged Adam, Ianna shouted loudly, like a prophet of the gods.
"Look up, Adam."
"I worship the divine!"
Adam seemed to have a devout heart towards the gods in his mind.
He slowly and reverently lifted his head as if controlling it, looking up at the vast sky that was originally empty.
But at this moment! The sky turned into a mysterious and eerie purple space, a huge figure seemed to fill the boundless mysterious and illusory sky!
That is-
"Isis God!"
Adams devoutly shouted His name.
