Divine Light Continent.

With the intervention of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, the situation has become vastly different from before.

In the past, the Divine Light Continent was dominated by three major powers.

Among them, the Divine Light Cathedral was the most powerful, followed by the Divine Light Dynasty and the Mage Guild.

The Divine Light Cathedral stood aloof, above the royal authority, ostensibly not intervening in worldly affairs, yet its influence was felt everywhere behind the scenes.

As for the Divine Light Dynasty, it governed the entirety of the continent.

Orders were to be followed without question.

Every word and action dictated life and death for all beings.

Finally, the Mage Guild, while also not governed by the Divine Light Dynasty, did not stand above worldly concerns like the Divine Light Cathedral, positioning itself as an independent, top-tier power.

The three powers complemented each other, thus ensuring the governance of the Divine Light Continent remained stable and unshakable by external forces.

For countless years.

The Divine Light Continent had seen some exceptional individuals attempt to overthrow the Divine Light Dynasty’s rule, but they were all decisively suppressed.

However.

This was the former Divine Light Continent.

Since the appearance of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall, everything has changed.

A force known as the Snow Mountain Holy Hall suddenly emerged, sweeping across the Divine Light Continent at an extraordinary pace, defying the Divine Spirit, disregarding the Cathedral, even openly confronting the Divine Light Dynasty.

Because of this.

The Divine Light Dynasty was enraged.

It dispatched armies multiple times to suppress it, but never succeeded in destroying the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

Even.

The Divine Light Cathedral sent the Divine Light Archbishop, Frank, to personally take action, yet he returned defeated, nearly perishing at the hands of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

This battle.

The Snow Mountain Holy Hall gained great fame.

Vaguely.

It had the qualifications to become the fourth top power on the Divine Light Continent.

...

In the towering, majestic mountains, there stands a grand hall, surrounded by endless divine light, invoking an involuntary urge to worship.

This is the location of the Divine Light Cathedral.

Inside the hall.

An elder, robed in white and with white hair and beard, sits at the head position, behind him a towering angel sculpture, its features indistinct, but seven pairs of wings unfold, exuding a vast aura.

The elder is none other than the current Pope of the Divine Light Cathedral—Baites.

Beneath him.

A young man in white battle armor, with a handsome and somewhat otherworldly face, hangs his head low, full of shame.

"This subordinate has failed in the duty at hand, I ask for the Pope’s forgiveness!"

Frank’s voice is deep, containing a scarcely restrained anger.

As a Divine Light Archbishop, unmatched across the Divine Light Continent, to suffer defeat at the hands of a newly emerged power, filled him with rage.

At the crucial moment, if not for Frank utilizing a Supreme Treasure bestowed by the Divine Spirit in the past, he might not have made it back alive.

Recalling that battle.

Frank’s heart was both enraged and faintly fearful.

Yes.

Fear!

He never imagined that someone could possess such power.

Baites slowly said, "The Snow Mountain Holy Hall is an external evil force, attempting to invade our Divine Light Continent and bring all beings to ruin.

I have reported this matter to the Divine Spirit, and a Divine Oracle will soon be delivered."

Upon hearing this.

Frank suddenly raised his head, eyes filled with surprise and delight.

Divine Oracle!

If the Divine Spirit were to intervene personally, dealing with the so-called Snow Mountain Holy Hall would be a mere trifle.

After all, the Divine Spirit’s power is immeasurable, and Frank had once glimpsed just a fraction of that power, a terrifying force.

Or rather.

It’s a magnificent power beyond all mortal beings.

In the face of such power, Frank felt as insignificant as an ant.

It felt as though with a slight gesture, or even just a glance, he could be obliterated.

At this moment.

The angel statue behind the Pope’s throne suddenly emitted divine light, and an immense divine power spread throughout the hall.

Pope Baites and the others now looked on with reverence, rising to face the angel statue, immediately kneeling and bowing.

"Welcome, My God!"

As the words fell.

A phantom enveloped in divine light appeared before everyone.

Its features were unclear, and even the number of wings remained indistinct, leaving only an overwhelming voice that entered their ears.

"In fifteen days, the Divine Envoy shall descend to purge the evil!"

After the brief words, the divine light-encased phantom slowly faded away.

Yet the lingering divine power signaled the occurrence of what just transpired.

At this juncture.

Baites straightened up, the usually calm and indifferent facade now showing an uncontrollable excitement.

"The Divine Envoy is about to descend, the Snow Mountain Holy Hall is certainly doomed, but this matter must be kept confidential, so as not to let the evil ones find out and escape beforehand!"

In the end, Baites’ gaze turned exceedingly cold.

In his view, with the descent of the Divine Envoy, the downfall of the Snow Mountain Holy Hall was inevitable.

To him, this force that dared to openly challenge the Divine Light Cathedral and damage its dignity was utterly enraging.

But years of self-restraint kept him from showing too much emotion openly.

Yet.

If given the chance, Baites would have eagerly exterminated everyone in the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

Now.

The arrival of the Divine Envoy is the opportunity to annihilate the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.

If news leaked, allowing the Snow Mountain Holy Hall to receive information, how would the Divine Light Cathedral restore its honor?

Upon hearing.

Everyone else was equally excited and nodded.

"Rest assured, Your Holiness, we know how to proceed!"

"With the Divine Envoy’s arrival, those damned evil forces will soon meet their end, I only regret not being able to personally dispatch them!"

Frank’s gaze was icy, his words brimming with killing intent and a trace of barely perceptible regret.

For once the Divine Envoy acts personally, he would have no opportunity to act himself.

After all.

Any Divine Envoy is truly among the ranks of the Divine Spirits.

The Divine Light Cathedral worships the Light God, the ruler of the Divine Realm, and under the Light God, many Divine Spirits exist.

These Divine Spirits are the Light God’s messengers in the world, thus respected as Divine Envoys.

Baites said, "As long as the evil is eradicated, it doesn’t matter who takes action, and with the Divine Envoy’s arrival, if we can satisfy the Envoy, we might be granted a Divine Gift."

Hearing the words ’Divine Gift’, everyone’s eyes lit up with fervor.

In the entire Divine Light Cathedral, few have truly received a Divine Gift, but each who has, has become a top-tier powerhouse on the Divine Light Continent.

For instance, the Pope Baites before them, or the Divine Light Archbishop Frank, among others.

Thus, all high-ranking members of the Divine Light Cathedral held great expectations for the Divine Gift’s existence.
