Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 210 Praise the God of All Things!

March 1, 18 noon.

when!when!when!
As always, twelve bells rang out in succession, white steam spewed out from the chimneys on the top of St. Roselle's Church, and hymns of praise echoed inside and outside as the huge gears and levers turned.

On Roselle Square outside the church, all pedestrians stopped at this sacred moment.

Audrey was among them, accompanied by her personal maid Anne, and Susie who was squatting quietly beside them.

"I hope everything goes well." Audrey lowered her eyebrows slightly and murmured softly.

As she was thinking, Audrey suddenly felt something - someone was watching her.

She glanced to the right calmly, away from the crowd, and saw a lady in a black dress. Her face was covered with a thin black veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. But Audrey was sure that the lady was secretly observing her.

Audrey folded her hands in front of her belly, but secretly used her left hand to touch the ring on her right index finger.

Nearby was the Saint Roselle Church, where not only the Saint-level Archbishop but also the Great Sage of the Steam Church was inside. If the other party really wanted to do something, she would take Anne and the others to the church as soon as possible.

As if she noticed Audrey's little action, the lady in black veil and black dress just chuckled. Her laughter was not loud, but for some reason, it seemed to be just right for Audrey's ears.

She knew Audrey had discovered her snooping, but she didn't care and never thought about hiding.

Besides, Audrey was not her target.

"Is this ring given to you by your husband?"

Audrey looked at the lady who was approaching slowly, and heard a gentle voice in her ear.

Audrey didn't show any extra expression, just a polite smile and said politely:

“This is a coming-of-age gift from my friend.”

She didn't expect the other party to come over and talk to her, but this made Audrey even more alert.

Her intuition told her that the lady in front of her was definitely not simple.

As for any extraordinary person, they will not doubt their intuition. Because their intuition is not just intuition, but more of a spiritual warning!

"Friends? Coming of age present?"

Although she couldn't see her expression clearly through the black veil, Audrey still caught a hint of playfulness in the lady's eyes.

"I have to go now. See you next time."

The lady glanced at the church whose bells had stopped ringing, smiled and waved to Audrey.

But before Audrey could react, the lady had already taken a step ahead of her and walked slowly towards the St. Roselle Church in front.

"Ash Black?"

The lady in the black dress whispered the name in her heart, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

That's a really nice name.

"What does she want to do?"

Audrey looked at the lady in the black dress walking into the church, and she was stunned and began to doubt her own judgment.

Is she a little too sensitive?

The other party might really be just an ordinary Steam believer who happened to come to the Steam Church to pray on this day.

As for why he peeked at her, it wasn't anything strange in itself.

When I was in Backlund, people often did this, but most of them were men. And when they were caught peeping, they didn't panic, but took the initiative to come over and talk to her. This was not difficult to understand.

The girl frowned slightly. Although the logic made sense, she always felt that something seemed wrong...
-
Inside St. Roselle's Church, the ashes are carried on a special train that stops inside the church.

Yu Jin was sure that this was the train that brought them to Intis yesterday, but after only one day, the interior of the train looked very different. The carriage that was originally filled with luxurious compartments and berths was now filled with seats, and most of these seats were filled with people.

They are all members of the Mechanical Heart, including Ikanser and others who came from the Kingdom of Loen.

For them, the purpose of entering the world of painting is obviously different from that of embers, which seems to have more special meaning to them.

when!
At the moment when the bells outside the church stopped ringing, a bell suddenly rang inside the church, accompanied by a series of pious chants:

"Ring the bell once, push the lever, start the piston and pump!"

On the steam train, the expressions of all the Mechanical Heart members became extremely pious.

when!
Another bell rang out through the church.

"Toll the bell twice, press the button, the engine ignites, the turbine ignites, and breathes life into it!"

Woo~!

The front of the special train was spewing out mist, and the melodious whistle heralded the start of the journey.

when!
"Ring the bell three times, sing in unison, and praise the God of All Things!"

"Praise the God of All Things!"

"Praise the God of All Things!"

Inside the carriage, the members of the Mechanical Heart began to praise devoutly.

After the prayer, the special train started slowly and moved forward slowly along the track.

At the same time, Ikanser, who had finished praying, looked at Yu Jin. Perhaps thinking that Yu Jin was puzzled, he lowered his voice and took the initiative to explain:
"This is a prayer ceremony within the Steam Church. It is not open to the public and will only be used during major ceremonies."

"Praise the God of All Things?" Yu Jin's expression was a little subtle.

"Cough cough."

Ikanser coughed twice and said vaguely: "This was also proposed by Emperor Roselle. He has always hoped to change the name of the Steam Church to the Mechanicus and change the name of the God to the God of All Machines. This rude request was of course rejected by the great sage, but the ceremony was retained..."

The God of Steam and Machinery was actually the God of Craftsmen in the past, and it was only under the influence of Emperor Roselle that he changed his name to the current one. But this obviously did not conform to the wishes of Emperor Roselle, so he insisted on changing the Church of Steam to the Mechanicus, and the God of Steam and Machinery to the God of All Machines. He even promoted various religious rituals of "Praising the God of All Machines" within the Church of Steam, which can be said to be a thief with an unyielding heart.

The God of Steam and Machinery obviously did not agree to Emperor Roselle's "nonsense", but he did not refuse it either.

He himself is undoubtedly not disgusted by the title of 'God of All Machines', otherwise he would not allow such a set of rituals to be passed down and spread openly among the core members of the Steam Church. "Maybe he wants to become the 'God of All Machines', but encountered some obstacles?"

Yu Jin already had a vague guess in his heart that the God of Steam and Machinery might not want to become the 'God of All Machines', but he must be hindered by some force. Or maybe he himself does not have enough confidence or strength to become the true 'God of All Machines', so he has been secretly promoting it within the church instead of announcing it publicly.

Changing one's honorific name might be a taboo among true gods.

For example, the name of the goddess of night is:

Goddess of the night, who is higher than the stars and longer than eternity, you are the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Disaster and Fear, the Lord of Sleep and Silence.

It contains not only the Goddess of Night, but also the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Disaster and Fear, and the Lord of Sleep and Silence.

The moment the Goddess of Night took these honorific names, the other true gods had to stay away from similar honorific names. At least until now, there has been no overlap of honorific names among the seven true gods.

Even though the God of War and the Goddess of Night were hostile to each other, they never used their own names to gamble and try to seize the name of the Goddess of Night. Similarly, the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Lord of Storms were also hostile to each other, but they never used their own names to confront each other head-on.

This reminded Yu Jin of the ancient sun god, whose honorific name was:
O Lord who created everything, You are omniscient and omnipotent; You are the source of all greatness; You are the beginning and the end; You are the God of gods; You are the ruler of the vast starry sky.

'The Omniscient and Almighty', 'God of Gods', 'Ruler of the Vast Star Realm', just from the names alone one can tell that the Ancient Sun God is far more powerful than the seven existing gods!

However, when the Ancient Sun God fell, the newly born True Creator clearly inherited the title of Creator, but did not dare to inherit the full honorific name of the Ancient Sun God. Instead, he changed his honorific name to:
The Lord who created everything, the ruler behind the veil of shadows, the fallen self of all living beings.

There is no doubt that this series of honorific names are related to the corresponding authority of the true gods.

"In other words, the authority held by the God of Steam and Machinery is not enough for him to become the God of All Machinery?"

Yu Jin tapped the table lightly with his index finger, as if he had realized something.

If the God of Steam and Machinery wants to become the true God of All Machines, he may have to reach the height of the ancient Sun God. But if he can really do all this, the Steam Church will not be the weakest of the seven orthodox churches.

Of course, it is possible that what the God of Steam and Machinery lacks is not authority, but a name -

Ohm Messiah.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Yu Jin seemed to understand something, Ikanser couldn't help but ask.

He was actually a little nervous. Could it be that what he said just now made Yu Jin have blasphemous thoughts? If that was true, wouldn't he become a sinner of the Steam Church?
"nothing."

Yu Jin shook his head, denied it, and looked out the window.

The winding track continues to extend inside the church, and all of this undoubtedly also applies the change of the laws of physics, because there is obviously not enough area inside St. Roselle Church to lay such a long track.

Through the car window, Yu Jin could already see the end of the track extending to the left.

It was a huge door nearly eighty meters high. Above the two tightly closed doors, there was a huge triangular holy emblem engraved. The solid triangle was filled with symbols such as steam, gears, and levers.

That is the symbol of the god of steam and machinery!

Rumble!
The special train was getting closer as it meandered along the track, and in the process, the huge door slowly opened inward amid the turning of gears and the roar of the engine and turbine.

The track leads all the way to the inside of the huge portal that is a hundred meters high.

It was not dark inside the gate, but was filled with bright sunlight.

But when I looked up, I could not see any trace of the sun. I could only see the magnificent dome that was taller than the portal and over a hundred meters high!
Under the sunlight, Yu Jin could easily see the scene inside the huge palace—

At the end of the tunnel, there is a magnificent mural that is almost as high as the dome.

Without the need for anyone else to 'explain', Yu Jin had already recognized the essence of the 'mural'; it was a painting of the world!
Woo~!

The special train blew its melodious whistle again and accelerated suddenly as it passed through the winding track and the front of the train faced the entrance.

Yu Jin has lost the vision of the painting world, but can clearly feel the emotion of 'excitement'.

It's not his emotion, it's the emotion of this special train, it's excited!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The special train sped past, rushing through the gate at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary steam train, and rushed towards the mural at the end of the hall!
boom!
No one tried to stop it, and no one warned anyone, and the front of the car just crashed straight into the mural.

However, there was no scene of car crash, loss of life or train derailment.

Because the front of the train dragged all the carriages connected to it into the "mural" together!
Woohoo~! Woohoo~!!!

The whistle of the special train began to sound continuously like some cheerful music, echoing throughout the two trains, allowing everyone to feel the excitement of the special train.

And the moment they passed through the painting, everyone's vision, including Ember's, was 'refreshed'.

There was still bright and warm sunlight overhead, but the original hundred-meter-high dome had long since disappeared. The train was still speeding on the track, but the track was suspended above the clouds, with white clouds floating below, but there was no support at all!

The track suspended in the air continued to extend forward in a certain curve, with no end in sight. At the rear of the car, in the direction they came from, the track continued to extend backward, but there was no trace of any dome or temple.

Below the special train are countless chimneys towering into the sky, spewing out large amounts of white mist, as well as countless cities made up of various mechanical parts such as gears, levers, steel, and bearings. They stand on the barren land like islands floating in the boundless ocean!
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

Ikanser looked at the "cities" moving forward below, his face showing visible excitement and enthusiasm. Not only him, but all the members of the Mechanical Heart had the same enthusiasm on their faces.

This was the first time for all of them to enter the world of painting. For most of the members of the Mechanical Heart, this was the only opportunity they had in their lifetime.

But when Yu Jin saw this scene, he did not feel any joy, but frowned instead.

The content of this painting world looks quite steampunk and extremely magical.

But this world is just like the world in the Aurora Society's painting, giving him almost the same feeling. It is just an unqualified fake.

Yu Jin remained silent. He was a little disappointed, but he was not ready to go home.

He planned to go and see the core of this world, the place where the "fire" was kept.

If exists.

Woo~!

The melodious whistle sounded again, and Ember looked forward through the window.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at a station.
