Chapter 503 Asking God to Decide!
The Fischer family meeting had progressed to its latter half.
To this day, too many people were eligible to participate in a Fischer family meeting.
Including the direct descendants of the Fischer family, their spouses and other relatives by marriage, along with key members from the families of “Noble Blood,” and a small selection of promising individuals from the Dawn Church.
Indeed, over a hundred people were qualified to attend the meeting.
However, they merely had the opportunity to listen in, yet people still regarded it as a supreme honor.
For any Blood Receiver of the Dawn Church, the chance to go to the Grand Hall was considered their ideal.
Only the Fischer Family’s direct descendants, the “Noble Blood,” and a few important relatives of the Fischer family were truly eligible to speak in the Grand Hall.
Those who could ultimately vote were even fewer.
The Fischer family had still not expanded the voting rights by much; essentially, only the adult direct descendants of the Fischer family and very few others like Christine’s husband, Andre, had the right to vote in the Grand Hall.
According to the prophecy abilities of the Path of Revelation, they could ascertain an important message.
In thirty years, the powers of the false gods would completely vanish from this world.
While that proved on one hand that false gods were merely false gods and their powers were limited, it also undeniably spelled huge crises.
By then, the Fischer family would likely be besieged by forces from all over the world.
Although the Fischers were already very powerful, they still needed more strength, which was the fundamental reason why Darren proposed to reveal the secret.
“I think there’s no need to continue discussing; let’s just vote now.”
As Darren returned and sat down, his first request was to conduct a family vote immediately.
Because conservative and radical views couldn’t be changed in a short time, possibly not even within a year or two—since no one could temporarily persuade another—it was better to just start voting.
A vote?
Felix looked at his radical father and then at those who had the right to vote, pondering what the final outcome could be if they proceeded with the vote.
“I think there’s a better approach.”
At that moment, Archer spoke up.
As the High Priest of the Dawn Church, his status was quite high, albeit usually slightly lower than the two Family Heads, but at times even his authority surpassed theirs.
Decades had passed, and he no longer had the fragile demeanor of earlier days, though his body was still thin and small—of course, nobody would underestimate him for his stature.
Anyone who dared to belittle Archer, even if he himself didn’t react, would be retaliated against by the fanatics of the Dawn Church.
“What?” Felix asked.
“That is naturally… to consult our great God! Let God decide!” Archer’s voice suddenly rose.
“Great Lord of the Lost, who has granted us immense power, which inherently belongs to the divine, and we are merely the enjoyers!”
“Now that such a significant proposal is to be decided, revealing the power that belongs to the Gods to the world, how are we mere mortals qualified to vote on it?”
He paused briefly, then continued.
“Only through conducting a grand Sacrifice, earnestly praying, and asking the great One’s opinion, can we determine the correct path for our future!”
Archer’s voice was louder than ever, and everyone looked at each other.
Compared to the Fischer family’s internal vote, the will of the great Lord of the Lost always had a higher priority, without a doubt.
Even Darren had to nod.

“Good, I agree with your idea.”
On this matter, there was no need for a vote; everyone was persuaded by Archer’s proposal.
In the center of the Grand Hall, a majestic altar made of pure gold now towered, adorned with various Sacrifices, from the most precious gemstones of the Fischer family to grain symbolizing bountiful harvests—all manifesting reverence for the Lord of the Lost.
The altar was surrounded by blazing flames, casting light on everyone’s faces as if igniting their souls as well.
“Let us begin.”
With the start of the Sacrifice, Archer, clad in lavish traditional attire and holding a scepter, slowly entered the center of the hall.
He chanted ancient hymns in a melodious and solemn voice, as if capable of transcending the boundaries of time and space to converse with the great Lord of the Lost.
Every one of Archer’s movements and gazes brimmed with reverence and devotion to the divine.
Soon after, numerous priests from the Dawn Church came forward one after another, presenting their prepared Sacrifices to the great Lord of the Lost through the altar.
A mysterious power suddenly emerged in the Grand Hall.
Karl silently watched this scene.
He had been observing.
Yes.
It was time.
Powerful fluctuations burst from the depths of the Holy Relic Bottle on the altar and instantly permeated the entire Grand Hall. Members of the Dawn Church knelt on the ground and felt the divine presence descending beside them!
Suddenly, an unprecedented anomaly occurred between heaven and earth!
“Boom!”
The originally serene sky was torn apart by dazzling rays of light, as if constellations were falling and miracles were manifesting.
Numerous lights intertwined in the air, forming mysterious patterns, each containing ancient and profound powers that inspired awe.
At that moment, a warm and soft light rose slowly from the altar, carrying an indescribable power that seemed to penetrate the heart and reach the depths of the soul.
As the light ascended, a clear yet incomprehensible voice, yet one whose meaning could be understood, echoed deep within Archer’s heart.
It was the voice of the Divine, the arrival of the Divine Oracle!
The great Lord of the Lost had agreed!
The Power of Consecution and all information regarding Him could now be made public and shared with the world!
Hearing the Divine Oracle, tears of joy and gratitude streamed down Archer’s face, feeling an unprecedented strength and courage within!
“The great Lord of the Lost, He has allowed it!” Archer said, and Darren could not help but smile uncontrollably.
The arrival of the Divine Oracle filled the Fischer family with joy and astonishment!
Felix and the others were undoubtedly delighted and confirmed without any question about the greatness of the Lord of the Lost.
This had always been the highest level of directive for the entire Fischer family and the Dawn Church.
And it was the most important foundation.
“Finally…” Darren let out a sigh; he had never quite expected that this day would indeed come. The Fischer family had now accumulated enough power to reveal the secrets of the Consecution and God without fear of being obliterated over matters of faith.
Over a hundred years ago, there were only a few members in the Fischer family, far fewer than now…
“Everything is about to change now!”
“O great Lord of the Lost, I praise You, thank You for choosing my proposal!”
——
Sunlight penetrated the mist and calmly filled the entire Nasir City.
Many Cyart people bustled orderly throughout the city corners until the Fischer family sent people from the Dawn Church to gather many citizens, claiming everyone would together witness an important secret.
“Please go to Central Square.”
“Central Square.”
“At two o’clock in the afternoon, the Fischer family will announce something significant.”
In the city square, a grand podium had already been built.
The podium, made of exquisite wood, was surrounded by various flowers and green plants. As the crowd gradually gathered, the atmosphere in the square became increasingly fervent.
“What’s going on?”
“Why have they asked us to come?”
“Strange, but if it’s something the Fischer family is revealing, it’s definitely very important.”
The citizens murmured amongst themselves, speculating about the revelations the Fischer family was about to make.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the High Priest Archer of the Fischer family ascended the podium.
He was dressed in magnificent attire, holding a scepter embedded with gemstones, took a deep breath, and began his speech in a clear and firm voice:
“Citizens of Nasir City, thank you for coming here today to witness what our Fischer family is about to reveal… an important secret about God!”
“For a long time, our family has guarded this secret, considering it our most precious treasure, but today we believe it’s time to share this secret with the world, to let more people feel the power and wisdom of the Divine!”
Archer was thrilled deep inside; the Power of Consecution was such an important matter, and now its existence was finally to be revealed. What excited him even more was…
The Dawn Church could finally preach in the light of the sun!
The great Lord of the Lost!
God!
Finally, to be revealed to the public!
Even if it was only in the Eastern Continent controlled by the Fischer family that they could preach, it still was gratifying.
Many citizens knew those “rumors” that the Fischer family served an Evil God, but most didn’t believe them. At this moment, they were clearly stunned.
The Fischer family was about to reveal all secrets?
What they were about to disclose, could it really be about that…
“Our Fischer family is about to disclose about God… He truly exists; He is the most magnificent Divine! He has bestowed upon us true power!”
