Chapter 426: The Scarlet Goddess and the Fleeing Ceramic Figurine

Winter turned to spring, and life began to stir once more.

This year, the northeastern territories of Suinhor experienced an unusual period of stability. The large-scale famines and waves of refugees that had troubled previous years were mostly absent. While pirate activity persisted along the coastal cities, there was now at least some capacity to address the issue.

Over two months ago, the Moonlight Territory, the City of Fire Protection, and Maya Territory were officially renamed Moonlight Province, Fire Protection Province, and Maya Province.

Dozens of other scattered territories, both large and small, were gradually being merged into several larger administrative regions. Osis permitted the minor nobles to keep their lands and most of their original authority. He required only that they temporarily follow the orders of the Governors he appointed and adhere to the kingdomʼs laws.

Inside the royal study.

King Osis looked energetic and in high spirits, his condition unusually good. ”Summer is almost here. What do the harvest projections look like for this year?”

The Prime Minister presented the figures, placing a document on the desk. ”This was just reported today.”

King Osis reviewed the report and nodded with satisfaction. ”These results are extraordinary. We owe our thanks to Kurmis for introducing the Brown Ball Vine and to the blessings of the Life Sovereign.”

Food was the cornerstone of everything, even in this extraordinary world.

With food, Suinhor could ensure stability, drive its industries, and support a growing population. This was the only way to nurture more Ability Users.
King Osis stood, paced the study for a moment, and then appeared to reach a decision.

”Approve the Alchemistsʼ requests. Provide them with everything they need, but do not allow the construction of temples.”

”Permit the Contract Lawyers of the Witch Spirit lineage to enter Suinhor. Let them assist in drafting a new legal code, and ensure they receive the official positions and freedoms they seek.”

This decree was truly groundbreaking and unlike anything that had come before.

The Prime Minister paused in surprise. ”The temple...”

What he truly wanted to ask was if the Scarlet Goddess had granted her approval.

Osis, however, told the Prime Minister something else entirely. ”Apostle Oran and Sukob sent me a secret letter. They asked that I, along with the Chief Divine Servant of the temple, offer it as a sacrifice to the divine being.”

The Prime Minister immediately rose to his feet and asked in a grave tone, ”What are they trying to do?”

Osis raised his hand, gesturing for the Prime Minister to sit back down and remain calm.

”The two of them wish to revise the old laws so that faith is no longer divided by territory but instead becomes a matter of individual free choice.”

”Everyone would have the freedom to choose their faith, and the servants of the gods could move freely to share their teachings.”

The Prime Minister grew agitated at once. ”Your Majesty, surely you did not agree?”

Osis shook his head immediately. ”How could I agree to such a thing? It is not even within my power to do so. I merely offered the letter as a sacrifice to the divine being, together with the Temple of Fire Protection.”

He paused briefly at that point.

”However, the letter was offered to the divine being, and the divine being gave no response whatsoever.”

The Prime Minister said, ”It seems the Goddess has refused.”

Osis replied, ”No, my Prime Minister. If the Goddess had refused, it would not have been like this.”

”Based on what the Goddess has previously told me, I can sense that the division of faith will no longer follow the old ways.”

”This is the inevitable course of history.”

The Prime Minister protested, ”How could the Goddess agree to such a thing? It would be the same as handing Suinhor over to other divine beings.”

Osis said, ”But at the same time, the Executive Nation of Ten Thousand Serpents, the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, the Thunder Kingdom, the Yellow Sand Kingdom, the Wasteland Witch Kingdom, and even lands beyond Ruhe Beast Island will witness a significant rise in the Goddessʼs followers.”

”The divine beingʼs faith will not weaken. Instead, it will grow and spread even further.”

With this change, the Trilobite Symbiotes would no longer be limited to Suinhor. They could step into any nation and begin shaping the future of the entire Snake People civilization.
