Chapter 1904: Eighth Seraphim vs Eye of Darkness (Part 45)
On the day of the Creation Ceremony, all angels wore their most luxurious and formal attire.
Gu Shengyin was no exception.
However, she was unable to lift her spirits.
When she arrived at the venue, Lucifer looked at her with great concern: "Gallia, you look a bit unwell."
Gu Shengyin forced a smile and came up with the excuse of an old injury acting up and not having rested well to muddle through.
She glanced around; the celebration was about to begin, all angels and foreign dignitaries had already arrived.
She looked at the dazzlingly beautiful Holy Spirit Flowers on either side of the road, and at the little angels with garlands on their heads joyfully flapping their small wings in the air.
Everything was peaceful and beautiful.
Lucifer frowned in confusion: "Why hasn’t Massiah arrived yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, that familiar figure appeared above on the Divine Throne, high and apart from all living beings.
"God!" Lucifer bowed down.
Following Lucifer’s actions, all creatures on the sides paid their respects to the Divine Throne.
Gu Shengyin saw that Messiah appeared with God.
Many foreigners who came to the celebration curiously looked at the Holy Son Messiah, who personally arrived under God’s escort.
They had heard of his great name in the mortal world, and now seeing him, he indeed seemed very favored.
God’s indifferent voice resonated throughout Heaven, announcing the official start of the Creation Ceremony.
The angels prayed, sang hymns, the Angel Legion demonstrated their strength...
After a series of routine ceremonies ended, God stood up.
The entire plaza suddenly quieted down.
God said to Messiah, who stood silently to the side: "Messiah, come to My side."
Messiah was somewhat bewildered, but he still walked out at once.
Gu Shengyin lowered her gaze.
God summoned Messiah to His side.
All were in an uproar.
The position Messiah stood at already far exceeded that which a seraphim should approach the divinities.
Lucifer also frowned.
He was a particularly meticulous seraphim, the laws of Heaven were drafted by him single-handedly, naturally, he found such transgression hard to accept.
But this transgression seemed to have the approval of God, as He did not speak.
God’s subsequent words, like a thunderclap, resounded in the ears of all beings.
"Holy Son Messiah, as My Successor of the Gospel, born noble. Messiah shall be My right-hand man, the most noble among all beings."
All eyes turned to Lucifer.
God’s words placed the Vice Lord of Heaven, Lucifer, in a difficult position.
Under God, the Seraphim Chief was the most respected.
This notion had been deeply ingrained in the hearts of all creatures. What made Messiah any different?
Lucifer’s expression suddenly turned pale.
He did not evade but instead raised his head to look directly at God: "God, I do not understand."
His gray-green eyes were filled with sheer bewilderment, this turn of events was completely unexpected.
Messiah was himself dumbfounded.
He did not feel this was an honor at all, almost the instant God’s words ended, he sensed countless gazes falling upon himself, as if needles were prickling his back.
Messiah almost wanted to cry in his heart: he did not want this supreme honor, truly.
He never thought he was superior to His Highness Lucifer.
The seraphim all looked at God in shock, then looked at Lucifer in confusion, seemingly unable to comprehend why God suddenly uttered such words?
