Chapter 631: The Visit From Others
A month later, the situation in the Barisan continent had mostly returned to what it used to be, with activities thriving once again. The only difference was the many statues of Aldrian that had been built all across the continent. These statues, named Aldrian the Great, had become symbols of hope, reverence, and worship for people everywhere.
The poses of his statues might differ, but each one still conveyed his glory, making all who saw them revere him even more.
Even the group that worshipped Aldrian as their god had become more openly active, establishing places of worship where his statues were prominently displayed. Yet few criticized or looked down on this. Everyone understood how deeply Aldrian’s presence had impacted all of their lives.
Without Aldrian, none of them would still be standing on this continent. If some chose to worship him, then so be it. Many believed this was simply their way of showing gratitude to their savior.
These past few days, another matter has been drawing attention. Many places across the continent have turned festive, as something significant is about to happen. The celebrations are understandable, given the event’s connection to the continent’s savior.
It is the upcoming marriage of Aldrian’s parents, Aldrey and Irene.
Just over a week ago, the Flamecrest and Rivas families finally agreed on a date for the wedding, two days from now. This will be a marriage unlike any other in the continent’s history, as it will be celebrated across the entire land.
As Aldrian’s parents, Aldrey and Irene hold a position of their own in the hearts of the people. While they did not directly defeat a god, many still see them as part of the salvation that saved the continent. Without them, there would be no Aldrian. So when news of their marriage spread, people everywhere joined in the celebration.
This is also what both families hoped for—they wanted the people of the continent, who had just experienced a great calamity, to feel joy again and be swept up in the festivity of the marriage. They wished, at the very least, to help those still burdened by trauma or sorrow forget their pain for a moment and share in the happiness.
Moreover, Aldrian the Great himself announced that he would personally take part in the celebration by giving a lecture on cultivation on the day of his parents’ wedding. This news stirred great excitement and anticipation, as a lecture from Aldrian—the strongest person among them, would undoubtedly be of immense value.
Many were eager to hear his lecture, knowing that comprehension in cultivation is just as crucial as the energy required to advance. In some cases, cultivators are unable to progress not because of a lack of power, but because they lack comprehension, even when they have enough energy to break through.
A lecture from Aldrian would be a rare opportunity for many to deepen their insight and quickly raise their level of comprehension.
