Chapter 792: Chapter 429 Interpretation of Scriptures_2

Xiulote bowed his head in silence. The closer his soul came to the Chief Divine, the closer he was to going to the Divine Kingdom. After the death of the Elder Priest Olte, the independence of the Otomi Priesthood would gradually be stripped away. In fact, in Xiulote’s heart, he did not wish to see the Otomi Priesthood become independent.

"Excellent! Elder Priest Uguel, your understanding of the teachings of the Chief Divine is profoundly deep. The Chief Divine reigns over the sun and the thunderbolt. He is both warm and merciful, and strict and resolute. The spreading of our religious duties should be the same!"

Hearing these satisfying words, the High Priest nodded slightly and spoke decisively.

"Decree: In Xilotepec City and in the Land of Jontal, establish religious tribunals to handle civil religious affairs for a period of two years! After two years, depending on the faith situation in both places, we will decide whether to continue."

"Praise the Chief Divine! May His glory scatter across the land!"

Many High Priests saluted simultaneously, and with this, the religious duty was considered planned. Soon, the flame of religious judgment would ignite in the peripheral districts of the Alliance, strengthening the spread of the faith in the Chief Divine.

After completing the salutations, a priest carrying the decree hurried down from the Great Temple. Then, the grand hall returned to solemn quietude.

"Supreme High Priest Xiulote, you recently reported to me the miracle of the Sky God in the Lake District."

The High Priest pondered for a moment and then spoke loudly.

"Now, in front of the Elder Priests, you may elaborate further."

"By your command,"

Xiulote smiled, nodded in greeting to the Elder Priests, and then slowly began to speak.

"The Divine Revelation Place in the Lake District received enlightenment from the Chief Divine. The Divine Revelation Priests learned the Principles of Nature of the Chief Divine and with the mighty force bestowed by the Chief Divine, were able to lift a huge rubber paper ball two hundred meters into the sky! Recently, the miracle of the sky in the Kingdom of the Lake came from the Divine Revelation Place’s creation."

"What! Lifted into the sky?"

"A huge rubber paper ball?"

"The Principles of Nature of the Chief Divine?"

"Again, a creation of the Divine Revelation Place!..."

The High Priests whispered amongst themselves, and low murmurs of discussion arose in the grand hall. A few Elder Priests exchanged glances, silent, but deep in thought.

"Exactly!"

Xiulote nodded solemnly. He paused briefly, then simply began to explain.

"Fellow Chief God Priests, in the Alliance’s traditional ceremonies of worshipping the Rain Divine Tlaloc, there’s a prominent part. It involves taking out the intestines of a Jaguar or a mountain lion, tying off one end, blowing air into it, then sealing it completely. Afterward, the Sacred Fire is briefly applied to this air-filled intestine, and it flies up to the top of the Temple..."

Upon hearing this, the priests nodded. It was a traditional ceremony, proving that the Rain Divine controlled the wind. Sometimes, Temple Warriors would shoot arrows to burst the ascending air-filled intestine, mimicking the sound of thunderbolts. The common folk held great awe for such ceremonies. However, as the singularity and elevation of the Chief Divine deepened, the subsidiary Rain Divine’s ritual processes had been greatly simplified, and such ceremonies had not been held for several years.

"The Chief Divine is supreme and mighty, He also controls the force of the wind, and His power far surpasses that of the Rain Divine!"

Xiulote paused to set the tonality for the invention of the hot-air balloon. To the powerful Divine Priesthood, most new inventions are defined as either sacrilege or miracles by a single pronouncement. In reality, what was invented did not matter. Who invented it, and who controlled it, was what mattered.

"Therefore, by the power of the Chief Divine, the Divine Revelation Place in the Lake Region made a rubber paper ball several meters in diameter, using the power of the Sacred Fire to lift it into the sky! The rising paper ball was adorned with the emblem of the Chief Divine, to proclaim His glory to the citizens on the land!"

Low murmurs of discussion rose again. Hearing this, the Elder Priests’ eyes lit up. A flying Divine Object that could soar into the sky, symbolizing the Chief Divine! The value in spreading the faith was naturally self-evident.

"Excellent! Supreme High Priest Xiulote, truly you have received Divine Revelation, spreading the light of the Chief Divine!"

Elder Priest Uguel’s round face quivered, showing a benevolent smile.

"Such a flying Divine Object is also urgently needed by the Alliance’s Divine Revelation Place. It would be best used at the upcoming New Year’s grand ritual!"

Hearing this, the few Elder Priests present nodded in agreement and looked towards Xiulote. After Xiulote’s departure, the Divine Revelation Place of the Alliance had gradually been marginalized, staffed with many people by the High Priests, and had now almost lost its capacity for research, turning into a primarily manufacturing camp of craftsmen. Without strong guidance and oversight from the upper echelons of power, it was really difficult for an institution and system ahead of its time to endure.

"Respected Elder Uguel, when I came from the east, I brought a new flying Divine Object, prepared for use in the upcoming wedding ceremony. Currently, this Divine Object is placed in the village on the North Coast of the causeway."

Xiulote smiled gently, well-prepared.

"All the Elder Priests are invited to inspect it. Once it successfully flies during the ceremony, the Divine Object will remain at the Alliance’s Divine Revelation Place. The accompanying Divine Revelation Priests will also provide guidance, enabling the Divine Revelation Place’s craftsmen to master the manufacturing skills!"...

"Very good! Supreme High Priest Xiulote, you have done very well!"

The High Priest smiled slightly and told the Elder Priests of the Priesthood. "

"The Divine Revelation Place in the Lake District has received Divine Revelation, studying the teachings of the Chief Divine, mastering the power of creation... Decree: The Divine Revelation Place in the Lake District shall focus on the study of the doctrine, creating Divine Objects beneficial to the Priesthood. The explanations of the doctrine by Divine Might University shall not fall under the supervision of the High Priesthood, nor shall they enter the Calmecac in Lake Capital City!"
