Dali forced herself to endure the stiffness in her body and the burning on her cheeks, immediately calming her mind and thinking rapidly.

"The source of light..." She silently recited in her heart, quickly searching through memories of sect scriptures, ancient legends, and recent information she had acquired.

"Reporting to you, Duke," Dali respectfully responded through the faith link, "Regarding the source of light you mentioned, several legendary holy artifacts recorded in the sect scriptures, such as the Heart of Dawn and the Eternal Light Seed, have long since become elusive, with no definite discovery reports for centuries. Dali... currently has no direct leads on this matter."

She paused slightly, as if contemplating her words, then added: "However, recently, in the border area of the Ashen Mountains and the Shimmering Wilderness in the eastern continent, an event possibly related to the source of light has occurred, drawing attention from multiple parties."

The Duke’s thoughts sent a slight wave of inquiry.

Dali continued her report: "There is an ancient relic buried under wind and sand for countless years. Based on the style of the remaining patterns, it’s highly likely to belong to a very early period of our Light Sect, or even a sacred cultivation site or temple from before the sect’s founding.

About two months ago, unusually pure light energy fluctuations began to intermittently emanate from that area, with a faint glow visible even at night, as if the dormant relic is slowly reviving under some influence."

"This matter is causing quite a stir, attracting the attention of multiple forces." Dali’s tone carried a hint of gravity, "The Four Gods Sect was the first to notice, sending exploration teams and establishing a temporary base around the relic, with frequent activities. Although they outwardly claim to be studying ancient civilizations and preventing energy from getting out of control, their intentions likely go beyond that."

"In addition," Dali added, "those blessed by the heavens have also been drawn to the situation. Robert mentioned to Dali that discussions have already appeared on player forums about the mysterious glow in the Ashen Mountains and a suspected large hidden quest area. Many player guilds and solo adventurers are gathering there, attempting to trigger tasks or find treasures. Some of Robert’s people have also infiltrated, collecting intelligence."

"What is the Light Sect’s response to this?" the Duke asked.

"The opinions within the sect are divided on this matter." Dali answered truthfully, "Some elders believe this may be a sign of the rekindling of light and advocate for quickly taking control and exploring, potentially finding lost inheritances or holy artifacts to restore the sect’s prestige.

Others take a more cautious approach, thinking the cause of the relic’s revival is unknown, and it’s already exposed to the Four Gods Sect and many blessed ones, and rash involvement might spark unnecessary conflict or even bring disaster upon the already declining sect. Currently, the sect hasn’t taken any official large-scale action, only dispatching a few spies to observe from a distance."

Dali concluded: "Duke, the revived ancient relic is the most likely known place to contain pure light energy or related artifacts. But its situation is complicated, with the Four Gods Sect watching intently, players mingling chaotically, and our sect internally divided. If you are interested in this, you must proceed with extreme caution."

The Duke received the information transmitted by Dali, swiftly analyzing it in his mind.

The border of the Ashen Mountains and Shimmering Wilderness... Light Sect’s ancient relic suspected to be reviving... Unusually pure light energy fluctuations... The Four Gods Sect intervened first... A large gathering of players...

This is indeed a development worth noting. A spontaneously reviving ancient relic of light likely contains an environment with a very high concentration of light energy, possibly sealing ancient light creations or knowledge.

Of course, the risks are equally obvious. As one of the actual rulers of the Oracle Plane, the Four Gods Sect’s involvement implies competition and potential conflict.

The gathering of players adds to the uncertainty, as they often act recklessly in pursuit of tasks and rewards.

Currently, there is already a significant number of Level 1 extraordinary professions among the player groups, and coupled with their fearless nature, their actual combat power is extremely formidable.

"Keep an eye on things here for me," the Duke thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, Duke. Dali understands." Dali respectfully agreed.

The Duke ended his communication with Dali, the link with the Divine Status slowly fading away.

The information Dali provided was valuable, a revived relic potentially containing a high concentration of light energy or artifacts is indeed worth attention.

He needed more information, and once Dali had new updates, she would contact him again.

However, for information gathering and intervention at the player level, he had a more direct candidate.

His consciousness once again sank into the Spiritual Sea, the Light Divine Status glowing faintly.

This time, the wave from the Divine Status did not lead to the Holy Daughter in a distant plane who was hastily wiping her body, but instead followed another faith channel, accurately connecting to Robert, who was on Mercury, just ending a session of Breathing Technique training.

Mercury, Robert’s personal gym.

Robert had just completed a set of high-intensity adaptive training, steam rising from his body, his muscles trembling slightly.

The extremely low concentration of free energy particles on Mercury made every bit of progress in the Light Divine Breathing Technique exceedingly difficult.

He closed his eyes, feeling the faint yet resilient warm current in his body, the Fighting Spirit refined by the Breathing Technique, which was his starting point as an extraordinary individual. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A High-tier Knight Attendant, this progress might be unremarkable in the Oracle Plane or Wizard World, but on Mercury, it was an incredible miracle.
