Chapter 239 - 204: The Great Council Meeting that Decided History_2
Due to its massive scale and public nature, it was widely proclaimed and hence became known as the Great Council.
The Great Council—a meeting that would profoundly influence and even determine the rise and fall of countless kingdoms in future generations—was born in Ajia’s New Rule Garden. It made its first appearance in the world amidst fiery debates and sharp exchanges.
The attendees included not only well-known believers from the land of Ajia but also Elf Priests from the distant Ancient Elf Kingdom.
After praying together, the Great Council formally commenced.
The first to raise an objection was a female believer named Marire. She began by declaring that the Prophet was not a mere Stone Slave but an Angel sent from the realm of the Subordinate Gods.
She said,
"If the Prophet is not an Angel, then how can we explain the miracles he has performed? If he is not an Angel, why would God entrust to a mere mortal the important task of spreading the Ancient Language?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a wave of cheers and praise erupted.
There was no shortage of believers who shared Marire’s views, from common slaves to nobles. They believed that Prophet Noen’s lowly origins were merely surface appearances.
To support this, Marire cited passages from three Holy Scriptures:
"An Angel descended to Earth in the form of Basel, faced persecution from men, and was redeemed by God’s mighty power.
