Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1081 The Truth About The World [Part 2]

"Please, take a seat." Quiana made a gesture for Lux to sit on the chair beside her bed. "Make yourself comfortable."

The old lady smiled before sitting on top of her bed.

What she was going to ask the Half-Elf was a question that had been bothering her for a long time, even before the Purple Plague infected her body.

"Lux, when you became the Necromancer of Heaven, I felt a surge of Divinity ripple across Solais," Quiana said. "I will not lie to you. I have long thought that the Gods have abandoned Elysium because they no longer answer our prayers.

"But, when you broke through that wall, I faintly felt the power of Divinity. This power could only come from a God, which means that my original assumption is wrong. Lux, are there still Gods in Solais and Elysium? Have they not abandoned us?"

The Half-Elf didn't expect that Quiana would ask him this kind of question. However, a faint memory appeared inside his head.

It was the time when Cai was telling him things about her family, and she mentioned her Grandma a couple of times in that discussion.

Quiana was the previous High-Priestess of the Rowan Tribe.

During her era, the Gods of Solais and Elysium were still present.

However, before passing down her position to her daughter, Dahlia, she had sensed that the Gods and Goddesses, whom she offered her prayers to, had become silent.

It had been many years since she last heard their voice.

Even Dahlia, who had become the High Priestess after her, felt that there was no longer any connection to the Divine Beings that watched over the mortals of the world.

It was as if all of them had vanished at the same time, not even saying words of farewell to their believers, who had dedicated their lives to worshiping them.

Lux pondered a bit before making up his mind.

Since Quiana had decided to only talk to him without bringing her husband, Maximilian, inside her room, he understood that what they were going to talk about would remain inside the room.

"The answer is Yes, and No," Lux replied. "The Gods, at least, almost all of them, have abandoned both Solais and Elysium."

"Almost all of them?" Quiana looked at Lux with a solemn expression on his face. "Does that mean that there are still Gods that remain here in our world?"

"Only Two Gods remain," Lux answered. "One protects Elysium, while the other wants to protect Solais. While I cannot tell you the identity of these two Gods, I know that they are doing their best in order to secure a future for both worlds, especially Solais."

"… So they have not abandoned us," Quiana closed her eyes. "They still care for our worlds."

A tear streamed down the side of Quiana's face, making Lux's heart ache.

This old lady had suffered a lot from the Purple Plague, and yet, her hope that the Gods hadn't abandoned them, kept her going.

Hearing that there were still two Gods that had remained to protect Solais and Elysium, the sadness she had felt when the Gods stopped talking to her, lessened drastically.

"Did they say anything to you?" Quiana asked after regaining her composure. "Anything that could help save Solais?"

Lux nodded. "They asked me to find the Pillars of Eternity."

After saying these words, a look of surprise flashed on Quiana's face.

"The Pillars of Eternity," Quiana said softly. "The Five Divine Artifacts that have the power to bend the laws of the world to their will. Do you know their location?"

Lux shook his head. "I don't. Do you know, Grandma?"

"I only know the location of three of them," Quiana replied. "When the Pillars of Eternity were gathered in the past, the Leader of the Champions that came from another world, tried to convince the others to use the power of the Pillars to ascend to Godhood.

"He believed that once they became Gods, any kind of problem will be fixed. Tempted by his words, some of the Champions sided with him, while the others refused to join his ambitious plan.

"They believed that they should do as the Gods had asked of them and do their duty properly, so that they could return to their home world. But, the Leader of the Champions, and those who sided with him refused.

"In the end, a great battle between the two sides tore through the fabric of time and space, destroying the lands of Solais.

"They refer to this battle as the Hundred-Year-War because even after the battle of the Champions ended, the war still continued for a hundred years."

"A bitter expression appeared in Quiana's face as she looked at her hands that had seen the passage of time.

"In the end, the Leaders of the Champions emerged victorious and vanquished all opposition.

"However, in the middle of his Ascendance Ceremony to become a God, the Goddess of the World, Edaine, descended from the Heavens and forcefully snatched one of the Pillars, representing hope.

"This caused the ceremony to fail, forever scarring the Leader of the Champions. Although she had succeeded, she also received the backlash of the world, stripping her of her Divinity.

"The injury she received back then was too great, so after her power as a God was taken from her, she perished.

"A God, even though she had been stripped of her Divinity, is still a God. This means that if they died, they would cease to exist.

"In order to stop this from happening, the Gods bound the Pillar that she had snatched away from the Champion to her immortal soul, allowing her to safely enter the Cycle of Reincarnation.

"But, this method was far from perfect. Because of this, the Goddess would enter an infinite cycle of death and rebirth, and would always live a cursed life."

Quiana looked at Lux with a solemn expression on her face.

"One of the Pillars would be in her possession," Quiana stated. "Also, since she is a Goddess, she will always be reborn as a girl. Her body is cursed, so all the cursed ladies in the world have the potential to be her reincarnation. And this includes… your lover, Aurora."

The old lady sighed. "Of course. This is only a possibility. There are many cursed individuals in the world, and some of them are worse off than the others. But, even though Aurora's curse has been sealed, I am very familiar with the curse afflicting her body. She is this generation's Lady of Misfortune, correct?"

Lux nodded. "She is."

Quiana also nodded her head in understanding. "The Second Pillar that I know of, fell into Elysium. The place where it fell became a Holy Land, and an organization known as the Divine Army of Light was founded in that place. I have every reason to believe that one of the Pillars is with them."

"I already know of this," Lux commented. "We already have an agreement concerning the Pillar in their possession."

"That's good then." Quiana smiled. "The last pillar that I know of fell into a very dangerous place, alongside the Leader of the Champions, who was chosen by the Gods to save this world."

Lux had a very bad feeling after hearing the old lady's ominous words.

"The Third Pillar that I know of, which is the Golden Lion, fell into the Abyss," Quiana stated. "And its owner, the Leader of the Champions, is very much alive."
