God's Guidance

In the sea area not far from Yesael City, a group of Yinsai Kingdom soldiers patrolled the sea's surface, led by two young priests riding bizarre shrimp. They were among the juniors recently granted the priestly status by Yesael, the King of Wisdom.

The young priests, following the King of Wisdom's orders, had already scoured this sea area time and time again. One of them finally couldn't help but ask, "Is the God-Given City really here? We've counted every stone in the sea here. If such a large island truly existed, we should at least find some traces of it!"

The other priest beside him chuckled, looking at him. "Are you questioning the great King of Wisdom? Or are you doubting God's power?"

The young priest immediately fell silent, not daring to say more. "Understood! I will earnestly continue the search. The King's decree is the King's decree."

Although the other priest had warned the young priest, he also believed their search to be futile.

He sighed and once again recited the story circulating in the Yinsai Kingdom.

Everyone knew it, but each time it was told, it felt different.

"Ense, the blasphemer, killed his own younger brother, Boon, and seized the Ruhe beast (Fusion Monster) God had bestowed upon Boon. Ense used the power God granted to the Trilobite Men, intending to murder the firstborn of God, his great father, Redlichia, the King of Wisdom."

His voice was melodious as if chanting a great epic.

"Such a grave sin, occurring in the God-Given Land and the King of Wisdom, at the foot of God's palace. Disappointed and saddened, God brought divine punishment upon the subjects of the Yinsai Kingdom. The descendants of the sinner were forever exiled to the demonic abyss of the deep sea, and the subjects of Yinsai could never return to their former home."

"Oh, God! When will You forgive our sins and once again cast Your glory upon the Yinsai Kingdom?"

After singing this widely circulated poem in Yinsai, he shook his head.

"We mortals, without God's forgiveness, how could we ever set foot in God's palace again?"

Although both priests felt this journey was destined to be fruitless, they still diligently and meticulously carried out the King of Wisdom's decree.

They split into two routes and ventured deeper along the sea area.

The young priest, leading a squad of soldiers, stirred up the waves. As they swiftly traversed the sea's surface, he spotted a streak of gold in the distance.

In the pure azure sea, that brilliant golden hue was remarkably eye-catching.

"What's that floating on the sea?" he wondered. "Let's take a look."

The group rushed over, and the priest on the bizarre shrimp extended his bone spear, scooping up the golden flower named the Sun Cup from the sea's surface.

The crowd had never seen such a thing before. They had never even seen anything golden, except for the sun in the sky.

"What is this? The same color as the sun. How incredible."

The priest caught the scent of the flower's fragrance, and he couldn't help but lean in closer. Then, as if by reflex, he took a deep breath.

The pollen of the Sun Cup, along with its unique cells, entered the young priest's body through his breath.

No one could have foreseen that this originally unremarkable God-made object, when combined with the young priest's mythical blood, would undergo an earth-shattering change.

The mythical blood underwent a qualitative transformation, just as a Fusion Monster would devour the organs of other lifeforms and graft them onto its own body.

The first-generation mythical blood of the Wisdom Path, through the Sun Cup, perfected a portion of its gene fragments, taking a new step forward.

Golden fluorescence emanated from the priest's body in waves. The priest unconsciously released the Sun Cup in his hand, letting it float.

The wisdom power had granted the priests eyes that could see through the hearts of others, the ability to read minds and communicate with any life. However, their power had never been able to directly affect any other object.

But at this moment, everything changed.

His power could leave his body and directly influence the outside world.

As the golden fluorescence radiated from his body, the entire squad of soldiers beside him caught a whiff of a fragrance that directly affected the depths of their minds.

In shock and horror, as if their consciousness had been seized, they found themselves unable to move.

Their forms were fixed in place as they slowly sank beneath the seawater.

Fortunately, they were able to survive in seawater, so their lives were not in danger.

The young priest of God, at this moment, was completely unaware. His eyes emitted a golden light, and his consciousness suddenly appeared on a golden island.

He saw the place where the Sun Cup had once been.

He stood on the shore, with a dense golden flower sea swaying beside him.

The flower sea extended along the coast, and a magnificent city was buried within the Sun Cups.

"Where is this?" he muttered, looking around in a daze.

He didn't understand how he could suddenly appear here when he had just been at sea.

How could there suddenly be such an island, filled with a flower sea that resembled a celestial realm?

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Until he saw the city without walls and the marsh surrounded by stones, he immediately realized, his pupils instantly dilating to their limit.

Although the young Trilobite Man had never seen it with his own eyes, he had heard of this place countless times.

"The God-Given City."

"This is the God-Given City."

He raised his head and gazed towards the center of the island, where he saw the colossal pyramid.

Atop the pyramid, amidst the radiant light, a faintly visible temple could be seen.

"And... The Yinsai Temple."

He finally understood why this object possessed the same color as the sun.

It was something that had flowed out from the God-Given Land, the Sun Flower blooming at the foot of God's palace.

On the other side, in Yesael City, the bloodline of the wisdom power had changed, and Yesael, wearing the Crown of Wisdom, was the first to sense it.

"Who is it? Who has perfected the wisdom power?"

He activated the King of Wisdom's power and immediately saw the source that had triggered the change, calling out the name of that young priest.

"Schlode!" It meant oath, a name the royal family was fond of using.

Yesael, the King of Wisdom, swiftly rode his Fusion Monster to this sea area, with the Yinsai Kingdom's guards following closely behind, tightly surrounding the area.

Under the gaze of thousands, the priest of God, Schlode, nervously rode his bizarre shrimp and stopped beneath the Fusion Monster.

In front of this mythical lifeform, the massive overlord of the sea was like a tiny shrimp.

Schlode came before the King and knelt, presenting the God-made object he had obtained.

"Great King of Wisdom, Schlode presents to you this God-made object. May God's glory forever shine upon the Yinsai Kingdom."

The moment Yesael saw the golden flower, he exclaimed its name.

"The Sun Cup!"

He had seen the name of this flower before and learned its name from his father.

It was the God-made object Mother of Life, Shelly, held in her arms, possessing a brilliant color akin to the sun in the sky.

He had never thought that among the many God-made objects, this seemingly unremarkable thing would have such a connection to the wisdom power.

In an instant, he felt as if fate had already been predetermined.

It seemed as though God's gaze, from above the river of time, had long foreseen this moment.

"Oh, God! Was all of this arranged by You?"

In his mind, Yesael recalled the words his father had said to him when he was young: "Yesael, do not be afraid. God has arranged everything."

His sharp gaze turned to this young priest.

Such a thing could only exist in God's palace; it was impossible for it to appear here.

"Where did this come from? What did you see?"

Facing Yesael's gaze, Schlode's body trembled.

He explained what had just happened to him and everything he had seen.

Upon hearing this, Yesael's face showed a joyful and relieved smile, while the elderly Trilobite Man beside him was so excited that he danced with joy.

"The God-Given Land."

"He saw the God-Given Land."

Yesael raised the Sun Cup high, as if holding a supreme sacred object.

This feeling was one he had only experienced when he faced the Crown of Wisdom in the past.

With tears in his eyes, he laughed and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"This is—God's guidance! God has not abandoned us; He has once again granted us a future."

"As long as we follow God's guidance, we will surely obtain His forgiveness."
