Chapter 109: Pilgrimage journey

Yao City is the holy land of this world.

The prophet Hamira is in the temple of the holy land.

Is it just a walk in the park to go on a pilgrimage?

Could it be that the prophet wants to meet me, the god Yao, in the higher-dimensional world?

No way... No way?

Lu Yao felt strange no matter how he thought about it.

He decided to focus his perspective on Yao City and see what Hamira was up to.

At this time, the prophet Hamira had already left the temple. She was dressed in a black robe, imitating Isabella’s attire.

The scholars in the city came to bid her farewell.

"May the god be with you."

"You will definitely complete the pilgrimage and prove the sanctity of the holy city!"

"Go, go, prophet. The sun and the stars will guide you."

Hamira did not speak.

She left the crowd in Yao City and walked west on foot.

Lu Yao’s perspective was fixed on her head.

Without horses or camels, Hamira moved slowly. She was already sixty years old, a true old person in the pixel world, and there was a symbol of weakness on her head.

It started raining along the way.

Hamira took shelter under a rock, holding the "Gospel of the Gods" in her hands: "Praise you, our Heavenly Father and Savior, God Yao..."

She recited the scriptures in the book over and over again.

After the rain stopped, Hamira set off again. She crossed the hills and entered the mountains to the west. In front of a ruin covered in green grass, she stopped.

An exclamation mark appeared above Hamira’s head.

"This is the place where God Yao expelled the evil god Jack, and the remnants of the divine aura remain."

The female prophet knelt towards the ruins.

White dots appeared in the ruins, flying towards Hamira and merging into her body.

A light bulb lit up on top of Hamira’s head.

"The power of the gods is so immense, majestic, holy, loving, and selfless..."

She had a new LVup↑ icon above her head.

Lu Yao double-clicked on the character.

...

[Prophet Lv9] Hamira

Attack 0 Defense 2 Knowledge 6 Mana 1 Luck 1 Morale 3

[Abilities]

Wisdom Lv5: Wisdom is the key for the apostle to listen to the will of the gods. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

Theology Lv2: Proficient in spreading the belief in the gods, able to keenly discover the traces left by the gods, and comprehend and improve through observing miracles.

...

Hamira’s level increased by one, and her theology skill also reached level 2 at some point.

Lu Yao realized that it was the skill of [Theology] that was taking effect. As long as he observed miracles, he could gain comprehension and improve his level.

Even the remains of miracles could trigger it.

Lu Yao continued to observe.

Hamira left the mountains, took a boat at the port, and arrived at the former sea island of the Eastern Sea Clan. It had now become an entrance to the abyss.

She walked to the middle of the island. Broken stones were scattered everywhere, and the mud and straw houses of the Eastern Sea Clan had long since decayed and collapsed, with weeds everywhere.

Hamira knelt down and prayed again: "The miracles of God Yao, like a storm, blow away the dust of the past..."

After a while, the LVup↑ icon appeared again.

Hamira could sense the aura of Lu Yao’s miracles.

He reached level 10.

Then, she continued her pilgrimage along the path of Lu Yao’s miracles, constantly searching.

The Light God monument on Mingyue Island, the Yangwu God ruins in the eastern grasslands, the areas where the Skeleton God statue had appeared, and finally, the old battlefield of the Teng God in the eastern continent...

In the end, her level stopped at LV12.

Lu Yao also understood. The so-called pilgrimage was for Hamira to worship along the places where he had fought as a god, to feel the traces of the gods’ existence.

A reminder suddenly appeared on the screen.

[Prophet Hamira has completed the first pilgrimage.]

[Hamira has become a legend.]

Lu Yao’s eyes lit up as he watched.

Promoted to a legend?

He opened the data panel of this prophet.

...

[Legendary Prophet Lv12] Hamira

Attack 0 Defense 2 Knowledge 9 Mana 1 Luck 2 Morale 3

[Abilities]

Wisdom Lv5: Wisdom is the key for the apostle to listen to the will of the gods. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

Theology Lv2: Proficient in spreading the belief in the gods, able to keenly discover the traces left by the gods, and comprehend and improve through observing miracles.

Martyr: Willing to sacrifice for spreading the gospel of the gods.

Legendary: Possessing legendary experiences, with high prestige and charisma.

...

So that’s how it is.

Because she completed the pilgrimage, Hamira obtained the title of [Legendary].

Lu Yao was also happy for the little character in his heart.

As the last clan leader of the Eastern Sea Clan, she led them through a change in belief and brought the people back to the land and forest.

After becoming a prophet, she tirelessly spread the belief in the gods. Hamira led the cultural export of faith from Yao City, greatly enriching Lu Yao’s inventory of faith.

In her old age, Hamira achieved feats that the little characters had never done before, completing the first pilgrimage alone.

Her life witnessed the succession of the gods, the rise of the Garlic Tribe, and the establishment and prosperity of the city. She was truly a worthy legend.

When Hamira returned to Yao City, almost the entire city came out to greet her.

The streets were crowded with people. They surrounded the prophet who had completed the pilgrimage and offered cotton and grapes, expressing their praise and respect warmly.

"Amazing pilgrimage! You are the pioneer of the future!"

"Prophet, you are the greatest follower of the gods!"

"You are the legend of our era, and the guide for all of us."

"You are the beacon for everyone."

...

Facing all the praises, the prophet Hamira’s expression remained unchanged.

She calmly said, "No, my friends. The gods are the beacons for everyone. I am just a shadow standing under the light."

"Even without awareness, the gods are leading us."

She returned to the temple and knelt in front of the statue, continuing her duties as a prophet.The status bar above Hamira’s head was getting worse, with a new symbol of coldness added. The gray ghostly figure was also incredibly clear, indicating that she could die at any moment.

Lu Yao also felt that, compared to other heroes, Hamira had worked too hard.

After death, she should go to Sanilo for a good rest and retirement.

You’ve done well enough.

Lu Yao activated the miracle "Scorching Sun". However, he maximized the entire Scorching Sun, turning it into a warm sunlight enveloping the temple and its surroundings.

Hamira seemed to realize something.

A smiley face symbol appeared above her head.

"Thank you, merciful God, you are indeed watching over us. Such warm sunlight is the best reward for me."

"Please forgive your clumsy and old servant, who can no longer continue to spread your faith."

"I firmly believe that one day you will illuminate the whole world, dispel all the gloom of the old days, and turn this world into the best earthly paradise."

"Praise you, our Heavenly Father and Savior."

A white light emanated from Hamira.

Her shriveled body fell to the ground, displaying "Death".

And numerous white lights flew into the temple’s bonfire.

The upper right corner of the interface showed Faith +120.

Lu Yao was slightly surprised.

It seemed that the ability of the "Martyr" had been activated.

...

Martyr: Willing to sacrifice for the spread of the divine gospel.

...

Death God Scott came to the temple, but did not call out Hamira’s soul.

Lu Yao asked Isabella about the situation.

"Sir, Prophet Hamira has become a martyr. She has given up everything and turned into the fuel for your faith’s fire."

"She has completely disappeared."

Lu Yao felt somewhat complicated.
