Chapter 126 -126-The Ritual Begins
Village Chief John took this matter extremely seriously. He dared not be careless. Seeing Thomas inquire, he maintained a solemn expression and nodded firmly.
"Thomas, we’ve been planning this event for several days now. There will be no mishaps."
John understood better than most—today was a critical day for the ritual. Deus Initium would be watching them, observing every person in the town.
If this ritual could satisfy Deus Initium, many of His devotees might receive divine blessings, furthering their journey along the path of awakening.
Some might even be chosen to become deities under Deus Initium’s command.
In an atmosphere that was both festive and solemn with anticipation, Thomas took a deep breath and walked steadily to the altar at the front of the town square.
As he stepped onto the square, the gentle morning light broke over the horizon, casting a thin veil of light over everything in town.
Behind Thomas, the town’s devotees had already gathered. Each held offerings in their hands, their faces stern with reverence, all gazing toward the temple at the front.
Whether they were native townsfolk or newcomers who had joined over time, every single one of them understood deeply just how important Deus Initium was to their lives.
Without Deus Initium, they would have nothing they had today.
If the town wished to continue to thrive and prosper, it would need the guidance and protection of Deus Initium.
