Chapter 226: Divine source (Part-2)

Antonio sighed and chose his duty and looked at them.

"Lord Ludura, please let me out of here. I have duties to do."

"Are you sure? You are going to miss a great opportunity for your future cultivation. You may regret it for the rest of your life for letting go of this opportunity."

"Huh? What do you mean?"said Antonio.

"You have received blessings of the sword of the king constellation but below this land lies a greater power. Which can strengthen your destiny and world blessings. Not only your but princess Ava bloodline blessings will also receive strengthening. If you guys meet certain conditions. I can't fully guarantee that it will happen, still there is a large chance and one time opportunity. This is also the reason I am inviting you two."

Ava was quite interested in seeing the divine source. As she had also read about it in sacred texts of church and knows that it lies in heavens beyond her reach. So, it's a great opportunity and she is excited to see it and looked at Antonio who had folded his hands and again fell into the dilemma of what to do.

'Should I go or not. My duty is also important yet this is a great opportunity to strengthen my powers for future and will most likely increase my strength and it will also benefit the kingdom in the long run and it's quite tempting nor am I making any loss aside from dealing with some greedy and overproudy nobles.'

Thinking about all the issues, Antonio sighed. He gave up his eagerness for adventure and curiosity to know more.

While, others wait for his reply patiently.

"Let's go, I also want to see. What kind of relic is this divine source."

Ludura nodded and looked at Leo who was still kneeling down.

"Leo, you don't need to kneel anymore."

Leo who was kneeling stood up and looked at others. Not daring to look straight at Kai and avoiding him, he looked at Ludura who was smiling at him.

"This is going to be a great opportunity for you also and may even change your destiny."

Leo hesitated but didn't openly deny Ludura good intentions.When he heard his lord shaking his head,"You don't need to feel inferior Leo. You are my most beloved follower and it's also your destiny which has led you to me. Think of this as a karma of your good deeds of past life."

Hearing that Leo can only nod his head. Not knowing this is one of the greatest right decisions he has ever made and will change his future forever.

Seeing that everyone is ready, Ludura didn't delay further.

Before naked eyes of everyone present. The god idol at the centre of the temple went through change. With vines retrieving from the idol causing the already damaged idol to collapse.

Leo was shocked and looked at Ludura,"Lord this?"

"Don't worry, It's nothing but an idol. We can always create a new one. I already knew this would happen; this is the first time in billions of years that I am releasing the seal of the status under which the secret entrance is buried."

After the collapse of the idol, vines moved and surrounded the base made up of stone and pulled it to the side. Revealing the secret entrance in the form of a dark cold tunnel with rocky staircases going downward with the sound of a cold wind breeze coming out from within it.

Kai came forward and looked into the channel and tried to sense. How much deeper is the tunnel instead he found that he cannot sense anything, his magic senses were getting blocked and pressured by an unknown force.

Alice also looked and shook her head. In her current state, she had lost most of her power at the peak of law ruler form. Aside from some basic power of templing with law power which she used to break into Ludura domain, she is nothing aside from peak magic champion.

"Let's go, the source is on the other end of this tunnel."

"Lord Ludura, what about your domain? Will it not break?"questioned Ava.

She was concerned that the domain would break after they entered the tunnel. Returning everything to normal and entrance exposure to the general public. Especially to slaves who come to pray here from time to time on random days.

"Don't worry as I have said before this place lies above the source of divine power which is also the source of my divine power. It will sustain my domain for two to three hours without any problem."

Ava nodded.

With everyone gathering before the entrance.

Ludura entered first who used his divine power to brighten up the tunnel making it easier to walk followed by Kai, Alice, Ava, Leo and Antonio.

Kai who was walking in front would from time to time look behind to make sure nobody is left out or missing and noticed that Alice and Ava were secretly glimpsing at each other with curious looks.

On the other hand, Leo was still nervous and respectful to Antonio, not daring to walk before him and avoid talking with him.

To him Antonio was crown prince and a citizen of Theothia Kingdom. Difference between their status is too large to not understand what kind of status is to be a god's most beloved follower.

It was quite an awkward atmosphere for Kai as he walked beside Ludura and whispered into his ears.

"Ludura, why did you make him your apostle? I don't think you would make such a decision without any reason even if you are in your current weakened state."

A thin smile appeared on Ludura's face as he kept moving forward without turning around.

For sometime he didn't receive any answer from him and unexpectedly received a Ludura message from mind transmission.

"Like it, tell you. It's due to his past good deeds and karma. His family has for many generations been playing the role of my apolste and taking care of my last temple in the world and always has been faithful to me. More than the royal family who treat me like their personal guardian and take my protection for granted. The status of apostle basically allows me to keep him safe and help him in trouble. Least I can do."

"Is that all? Ludura I don't think you had revealed information about god's source to his ancestors. So, why are you sure that he will not reveal it to others? When he has such a weak mental strength?"

"Because, his destiny is special."said Ludura for the first time on turning around and said in a low tone so that others cannot hear.

"He is the reincarnation of the holy emperor of the human race. One of the ten most powerful magic Emperors and my precious student who ruled the world with nine others after your death."
