"Does the ancient Moon God Mosela wish to return to the Prime Material Plane?"

The gods of the Order Pantheon frowned deeply.

Being under the command of Luoseda, the God of Order and Justice, they all possess a sense of justice to varying degrees.

Even if some of the ancient evil gods who were once mad and ravaged the land have regained some of their sanity, they will never allow them to return.

It's strange, really.

These ancient Old God, who were once utterly insane in the Prime Material Plane, surprisingly regained some of their sanity after being banished by the seven Greater God and the Lady of Truth.

The gods of the Prime Material Plane were unaware of the reason.

Fortunately, these Old God were tainted with the resentment of too many living beings. Even though they originated from the very source of the world, the Prime Material Plane did not welcome the return of these Old God who had committed evil deeds and kept them out.

Therefore, they could only resort to such methods employed by former believers to secretly infiltrate the Prime Material Plane in an attempt to find a way back.

Moon God Mosela, is one of them.

Over the years, her former followers have tried countless methods, but all to no avail.

However, many of these believers did not genuinely want this Old God to enter the Prime Material Plane; they were more interested in using Mosela's power for free to gain an opportunity for Transcendent.

The Grand Duke's ancestors were among these freeloaders, and they had absolutely no faith in the Moon God Mosela.

He never imagined that one of his descendants would actually believe in this Old God, willing to give everything for him, even his own daughter, just to bring this Sun and Moon into the Prime Material Plane.

"Your Majesty, Mosela wants to enter the Prime Material Plane again. Shouldn't we stop her this time?"

A Greater God clad in Knight's armor frowned and asked.

"Of course we must stop them, but in the past, Lady Moweidina, the Lady of Truth, has always known about the Old God ' actions before we did, informing us as if she possessed an omniscient perspective, able to see all the evil in the world."

"But this time, Lady of Truth made no move, which suggests that she has other ideas about this coming of the Old God."

"Then let's see what kind of ceremony this earthly duke will hold this time, and how he will bring that Moon God into the Prime Material Plane."

"And this is a good opportunity for us to find Lady of Truth and see what she's planning to do this time."

"We understand."

All the gods nodded.

"Then, we can prepare to head to the Seluolamu Duchy."

"Your Majesty, the Seluolamu Region is primarily the domain of the worship of the Goddess of Abundance Taruiya. Should we inform Her Majesty Taruiya?"

A deity draped in a gray robe asked.

"No need. Mosela already knows about this arrival."

Luoseda spoke.

The two Greater God had already discussed this situation.

The gods of the Order Pantheon departed one by one.

Luoseda remained on her own Divine Throne, gazing towards the distant Divine Kingdom of Truth.

As a god who lived through the ancient times of the Old God, and Knight of that ancient city in bygone eras, he naturally knew more secrets.

"The Moon God Mosela and the Goddess of Wisdom Moweidina were very close."

"They even jointly established a city of faith, without distinction between 'you' and 'me'."

"This time, it's clearly a sacrificial ritual. Why didn't Lady of Truth stop it beforehand? Instead, she seems happy to facilitate it."

"If this woman sides with the Old God this time, should I raise my sword against her?"

Luoseda fell into a long silence.

A few months later.

When the moon is full and the stars are few.

Eastern part of the continent, the Kingdom of Seluolamu.

This Human Race Kingdom is located at the foot of the ancient Seluoxilun Divine Mountain, and it is also the place where the relics of the three gods of Seluoxilun are preserved the most.

The three Old God of Thero here are the most numerous heretics, and a large portion of them are even nobles of the Kingdom.

After all, the vast majority of those who have access to and the ability to explore the ruins of the Old God are Transcendent nobles.

What ability do ordinary people have to explore ancient ruins?

Aisiweite Duchy.

It was late at night.

In the center of an open-air training ground within Aisiweite Castle stands a tall, silver-grey altar, upon which rests a tattered Holy Grail of the Moon.

This is a sacred object used by the ancient Moon God Mosela to hold the moon's essence and bestow it upon her believers.

However, this divine artifact was already damaged and had exhausted its power during that divine calamity.

Even so, the Holy Grail still possesses a strong aura of the Moon God.

This is the key to contacting the Old God Mosela, who exists beyond this world.

A group of pagans, dressed in silver-black robes and wearing hoods, surrounded the tall, silver-grey altar, praising the bright moon in the sky with fervent actions and songs.

Above the clouds in the sky.

The gods of the Order Pantheon stood behind Luoseda, Goddess of Lamplight, watching the commotion at the altar below, asked curiously.

"Father God, what are they singing and dancing about?"

"That's an ancient hymn of praise used by priests in the Moon God Temple. It was clearly lost long ago, yet it's being performed here again."

Luoseda answered in a deep voice.

Should we stop them now?

"Wait a little longer, until Lady of Truth appears."

Below.

Around the altar.

As the ancient hymns of praise resounded between heaven and earth, the bright moon in the sky seemed to be stimulated, and began to shine brightly, then cast a clear light down from the sky, enveloping the holy chalice on the altar.

And just then...

A gaunt old nobleman, wearing a ducal crown and aristocratic robes, led a frail young girl with a terrified expression to the edge of the altar.

Old Duke Aisiweite's seductive voice rang in the young girl's ears.

"Weiweil anai, my dear granddaughter."

"Haven't you always wanted Transcendent power?"

"Now, step onto that platform, and you will gain Transcendent power, becoming a strong person like your sister, admired by the world."

"But Grandpa, I'm scared."

The girl trembled violently, her face pale.

She had already sensed that something was wrong; this was completely different from what her grandfather had told her before.

This was clearly an evil ritual, and she was very likely the sacrifice for it.

"I don't need this Transcendent power, Grandpa, I want to go back."

"I don't want to compete with my sister for Prince William's affections anymore."

The girl's voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs.

"That's not up to you, Weiweil anai."

The Duke remained expressionless.

"Someone, take her upstairs."

"Yes."

Behind the Duke, a Knight clad in black armor stepped out. With a gentle lift, he carried the petite girl to the altar.
