Having someone with knowledge about what was happening was truthfully astounding. At least she won’t look like an idiot among all these people.
Diamond nodded her head and gave a glance at the high priestess, who was standing respectfully with her eyes closed, probably praying.
How could she not know?
Thanks to the enthusiastic supporting system, eager to fill her in. Diamond found herself having depth religious lessons that spanned a very long duration. Unfortunately, she still failed to find out which deity blessed her. Otherwise, she would be worshipping directly instead of being confused.
That old lady was knowledgeable as well, probably celebrating inwardly for being in the presence of the deities despite the spiritual being weak.
The others were a bit clueless when they heard the two talking about the issue of the deities.
Zara, seeing that happening, couldn’t help but start explaining as she walked towards her deity.
"These three deities are part of the light faction and were mostly worshipped by females!" Zara explained as her eyes landed on the statue on her left. "The deity there is the goddess of fertility. Whenever women wanted to conceive and continue their family’s line, they would worship her. If you have any problems in that department, just worship her earnestly and she will grant your prayers.
The one on the right is the goddess of love and marriage. As her name implies, she dealt with issues regarding love and marriage.
And the one in the middle, she is my deity. The goddess of health. She healed all illnesses and ailments.’
As she talked about her goddess, Zara couldn’t help but speak affectionately.
Her parents, hearing her saying something like that, couldn’t help but take a double look at the deity, the one who had been helping their daughter during these turmoil times.
If it wasn’t for her, their daughter would be buried six feet down right now, but thanks to her, they got another chance at being with their daughter.
They couldn’t help but close their eyes and offer their gratitude. They weren’t devout worshipers, but for their child, what can’t they do?
As Zara spoke, she unconsciously found herself walking towards her goddess. In her eyes, her statue was shining bright like a diamond, especially her right arm. There was something on that arm and her instincts told her that it was that armlet of sadness she wanted.
But how did it even get there?
There was no answer, but that was fine, as she could ask the goddess another time if she appeared in her presence again.
Zara stopped in front of the standing statue, and her gaze locked on that arm, she sensed the armlet was on.
While she did that, all eyes were literally on her. And Diamond wore a mysterious smile as she watched the whole thing.
Zara raised her hand for a brief moment before she dropped it.
Others, wondering what she was up to, gasped in shock upon seeing her going down on her knees.
This was the first time Lena and Cade had seen such a scene. Their daughter knelt to no one and yet there she was, kneeling in front of that statue.
They understood that she was her deity, but was it really necessary to kneel when she was still in that condition?
Nonetheless, they didn’t stop her and just watched her continue what she was doing.
Zara kowtowed to the statue three times before getting on her knees, a smile on her face, making others wonder what just went on in that short time.
Diamond, witnessing all that, glanced at the statue and smiled mysteriously once again, her actions seen by Amir, who had been finding her actions a bit mysterious.
Zara, after standing on her feet, moved towards the goddess’s arm, raised her gloved hand and with gentleness in her actions and a glint of respect and worship flashing in her eyes, she touched the arm she suspected.
And the magic happened.
----****----
It happened like a movie, took everyone by surprise that by the time everyone realized what had happened, Zara had fainted again.
"Hurry! Carry her! we need to take her to the house!"
Diamond looked at the scene with a dumbfounded expression as Amir was carrying Zara, who had fainted holding the golden vine armlet in hand and couldn’t help but take a look at the statue that no longer looked desolate but invigorated instead.
It all happened in a moment.
One second Zara was touching the arm, and the next a bright light flashed, forcing everyone to look away. In the presence of the deity, how dare mortals’ glance at the deity?
The light flashed for a brief second and when it dimmed, Zara was on the ground, holding the armlet. Meanwhile, the deity looked much better, as if she had been released from some prison.
However, from Diamond’s perspective, she could sense that the aura of death in the temple was diminishing. Ever since the goddess was released; she could see the green energy spreading throughout the temple.
Even the other deities were benefiting from it. if she wasn’t mistaken, it wouldn’t take much longer before the deities recovered.
Seeing this, she couldn’t help but wonder if the era of the deities was coming again.
[The deities are pleased. For setting them free and helping one of the blessed children, they bless you.]

’I can’t believe that after being dormant for so long, that deity found someone!’
’I never thought that she could find anyone.’
’But this one is pretty good.’
’Um, greedy, unconditional but has a good heart.’
’Is that why you gave her that kind of blessing?’
’Hehe, just fulfilling her wishes. Don’t act as if you didn’t do the same?’
’Hehe, consider it as helping. We all want to thrive, don’t we?’
’Indeed!’
’Let us just hope that your saintess will come out a winner this time!’
’With that person by her side, I no longer have to worry!’
