Xinxia raised her hands high.
The rising sun shone brightly, radiating a heavenly glow.
Golden sunlight streamed down from the clouds, instantly transforming the sacred mountain into a divine temple, bright and holy.
The supreme Light Element power flowed through everyone; some who had not advanced for a long time would advance because of it, and even Super-Order Mages would benefit from the Light Element.
Light Element is the only magic system in the world that can grant people permanent enhancement, and it is absolutely powerful in battlefield support.
The light slowly faded, but Xinxia became even more radiant. Threads of light gathered on her, weaving into a golden feathered robe, like a deity descended upon the world.
The believers prayed from the bottom of their hearts and knelt in reverence.
Just as people were devoutly giving thanks, a bright and holy goddess soul appeared behind Xinxia.
"Pathenon Temple Soul!" Merola exclaimed in surprise.
Many Parthenon Mages observing from other locations showed equally shocked expressions.
The divine soul, which had been missing for many years, had appeared, and as soon as it appeared, it recognized Ye Xinxia!
They were very clear about what the Pathenon Temple Soul meant.
From this moment on, many Parthenon Mages changed their view of Xinxia.
The Apollo Gaze Ceremony concluded.
As the light dissipated, the fervent prayers of the believers grew even more intense.
The Apollo Gaze Ceremony was just the beginning; there was still a whole month until the Goddess Enthronement Ceremony, during which various rituals and activities would be held.
People from all over the world would also gather, as the influence of the Goddess Enthronement Ceremony was much greater than that of the World Cup.
Quite a few people from China also came to observe the ceremony.
Mu Ningjiao came.
Qin Yun came.
All members of the National College Team came.
"What is Zhao Kun San doing? Xinxia is about to become a goddess, and he's not even coming to the ceremony," Mo Fan muttered in the hotel, looking at the notification on his phone that showed the other person's phone was off.
He was quite enthusiastic, contacting everyone he could reach.
Zhang Xiaohou, Mu Bai, Zhao Kun San, Zhou Min.
Of course, not everyone would come.
As for whether Mo Fan was worried about Xinxia's safety, Jiang Yuan had already contacted him, so he could rest assured.
Days passed, and Athens Acropolis became increasingly lively.
A class reunion was also held incidentally.
"Brother Fan, I really regret not going to see the National Government finals in person, I regret it so much!" Zhang Xiaohou cried, drinking wine.
Perhaps he was naturally suited to be a military mages, or perhaps it was fate, but Zhang Xiaohou still became a military mages.
Now he had already received training from the military and was progressing towards becoming a core member.
Because of this, it was very difficult for him to take leave.
When the Venice National Government finals were held, he was on a mission and only found out it was over after the competition had ended.
"It's fine if you didn't see it. In a few days, Xinxia's Goddess Enthronement Ceremony will be truly spectacular!" Mo Fan said, putting his arm around Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder.
The two of them, arms around each other, soon started laughing.
Zhou Min, Zhao Kun San, and others sitting at other tables also started chatting.
"Hey, why didn't the grumpy guy come?" Mo Fan suddenly remembered someone and asked.
"Who is the grumpy guy?" Everyone was confused.
"It's Mu Bai," Mo Fan said.
"I don't know, he seems to be in seclusion," Zhao Kun San replied.
"Alright, I wanted to see his grumpy face again, it's been a long time," Mo Fan said regretfully.
In fact, for Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhao Kun San, and the others, the conflicts from high school had long passed; that was just youthful recklessness and nothing major.
They were classmates, so there was no need to make things too awkward.
Besides catching up on their recent lives and past events, they also talked about the prominent figures Jiang Yuan, Mo Fan, and Xinxia.
Speaking of Jiang Yuan, Zhou Min curiously asked Mo Fan, "Why didn't Jiang Yuan come to the ceremony?"
"He's a busy man now, I don't know what he's doing all day, so he probably doesn't have time to come," Mo Fan replied.
"Alright," Zhou Min pursed her lips, picked up the wine on the table, and drank it, suddenly feeling very lonely in her heart.
The light of youth was growing brighter and brighter, and she could only bury that feeling deep in her heart.
After all, they would be people from two different worlds in the future, and there would be no more intersection.
Everyone drank and chatted, the unfamiliarity from not seeing each other for a long time slowly disappeared, and they talked more and more.
When Mo Fan mentioned that Jiang Yuan had already become a Super-Order Mage, everyone was stunned into silence.
...
...
The day of the Goddess Enthronement Ceremony finally arrived.
The roadside was adorned with flower lanterns, which would emit brilliant and colorful light on the streets at night.
People had worked tirelessly in preparation for this day.
In the original timeline, Salang would cause a disaster during this ceremony, leading to the Titans besieging the city and widespread devastation.
However, in the timeline completely altered by Jiang Yuan, Salang seemed to have no intentions regarding the ceremony.
After all, most of the people she sought revenge on were already dead, and on that day, Jiang Yuan exposed her long-hidden identity, which truly made her incomprehensible.
After escaping from the Pathenon Temple, she had quietly hidden herself, no longer clamoring to create suffering and disaster; she had become a transparent person during this period.
The ceremony began.
Xinxia sat on a float woven with olive branches, dressed in a white robe symbolizing the goddess, and wearing an olive wreath on her head, slowly passing through the crowd.
She looked so pure and kind.
She smiled and responded to the cheers of the believers, and the goddess soul behind her flickered, making the believers' cheers even more fervent.
The float finally stopped beneath the Athena statue in the central square of Athens Acropolis, where a noble crystal platform awaited the new goddess to step upon.
Xinxia walked up step by step, under the gaze of tens of thousands.
She faced the crowd, a smile on her face.
The Hall Mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, also appeared. She came to Xinxia's side and smiled, "Xinxia, you are finally going to become a goddess."
All the scenes of Jiang Yuan ascending the temple that day seemed to have been forgotten by her.
Unsure what Pamir was thinking, Ye Xinxia smiled and replied, "I am just a lucky person. I am honored to be able to become a goddess."
"Then come, swear before billions of believers," Pamir said.
Xinxia nodded, then looked at everyone below. Her words echoed in everyone's minds.
"I, Ye Xinxia, will become the new generation goddess of the Pathenon Temple."
"Hereby, I swear!"
"I will inherit the divine light of Athena, illuminating every believer who believes in her, bringing light to all darkness in the world, and hope to all suffering."
The oath was powerful.
Xinxia solemnly recited, and the believers listened intently.
Their expressions were solemn.
Once the recitation was finished, Xinxia's name would be engraved on the divine stele.
Mother of the Temple Pamir watched quietly, a flame seemingly burning in her eyes.
