"Inner continent, God of Conspiracy?"
The Candelabra Goddess sat gracefully on a high chair, casting a cold glance and spoke indifferently.
Although she was startled by the other’s silent approach, her expression remained unchanged.
"It’s my honor to be recognized by Lady Sitheko."
Conrad smiled.
His deep eyes locked on the other party.
After a brief silence, without any warning, a terrifying fla erupted, enveloping them both.
Buzz——
With a loud bang, the two True Gods vanished without a trace.
The surrounding scenery reverted back to its original state.
The burning colored sky disappeared, and the intense heat dissipated.
The players were bewildered, unsure of what had transpired.
Only Chen Lun knew that the two True Gods had tacitly left and gone to another battlefield.
Chen Lun gazed at the twilight, deep in thought.
When the Candelabra Goddess attacked earlier, he noticed sothing amiss within the terrifying flas.
’Within the Candelabra Goddess’s flas lies the integration of ten pathways: the inner continent’s Sun, Dark Sun, Constellation, Flesh, Conspiracy, Earth, Deep Sea, and the outer continent’s Plague, Winter Bell, and Clamor... Perhaps this is the limit of the Sequence Zero of the Holy Fire pathway.’
Chen Lun pondered.
’The Candelabra Goddess is undoubtedly the strongest True God of the outer continent, which is the fundantal reason why the Holy Fire Faith dominates here... But why do I still sense a discordant note?’
He had a strong intuition.
That discordant note might very well be due to the Candelabra Goddess lacking the complete Sorrow and Joy pathway power.
With Ring Duke’s understanding of the Holy Fire pathway, He would never easily allow the Sorrow and Joy pathway, especially its knowledge, substance, and authority, to fall into the outer continent.
Therefore, the Candelabra Goddess using Plague, Winter Bell, and Clamor as substitutes might be a reluctant move.
’Is it because the absorbed and integrated pathway powers conflict and don’t harmonize? Or is there sothing special about the ancient Sequence of the Sorrow and Joy pathway that was born locally... Or, since Plague, Winter Bell, and Clamor are outer god pathways, they are isolated without the neighboring pathways to moderate?’
Chen Lun couldn’t find an answer.
But he knew, when he reached this stage in the future, he must not touch those three outer continent pathways.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Chen Lun lowered his head and looked at the Rainbow God in his hand, saying lightly:
"Your goddess ran off with another man."
The expression of the Rainbow God Lakru twisted and contorted imdiately.
An uncontrollable wrath ignited within him.
His entire head burst into brilliant mythical flas.
"You... You dare desecrate the goddess! Damn outsider!"
Lakru’s voice beca distorted, turning extrely sharp.
Chen Lun chuckled and shook his head.
An invisible force enveloped the head in his hand.
[You’ve used ntal Steal on the target ’Lakru’!]
[Willpower check in progress...]
[Target’s willpower is 165 points, your willpower is 180 points, check successful...]
[Mystical Weight check in progress...]
[Your Mystical Weight prevails, check successful!]
In just a split second.
The complete knowledge of the Holy Fire pathway contained in the Rainbow God’s mind was entirely stolen by Chen Lun.
Knowledge below the level of a Demigod, he had long mastered.
What he needed were the ultimate secrets of angels, sub-gods, and direct ascension to True God.
Now he had it all.
’Holy Fire Sequence Two [Cupbearer], Sequence One [Seven Cores], Sequence Zero [Candle Official]... Excellent.’
Chen Lun smiled.
It was only then he realized that starting from [Cupbearer], the Holy Fire Angels and even Deities could draw more and deeper powers from other pathways.
It was no longer a simple absorption and fusion of "knowledge"!
They could also digest "Mystical Substance" and even utilize "authority"!
Divinity is inherently unique and indestructible. Even the Holy Fire cannot violate this iron law to absorb and integrate it, but the Holy Fire can use it as "fuel" to enhance its intensity and borrow the authority contained within!
A flicker of amazent passed through Chen Lun’s eyes.
He had already estimated the upper limit of the Holy Fire pathway exceedingly high, but now it seed even more powerful than he’d imagined...
At this ti, the Rainbow God in his hand realized sothing, roaring in shock and anger:
"Outsider thief! You not only desecrate the goddess but also the Holy Fire, stealing my master’s power—"
Puff!!
Chen Lun, unimpressed by the hysterics, clenched his hand and instantly crushed the Rainbow God’s head.
[You killed ’Rainbow God’ Lakru, gaining 20000W experience points and 1000 regional fa points!]
[Your regional fa has risen to 10356 points, with an epic fa of 345 points!]
He turned around and waved his hand casually.
The Holy Fire pathway knowledge imdiately flowed into Dannie Lucius’s mind.
Simultaneously, two palm-sized blue fireballs flew into Dannie’s hand... These were the two portions of unique Holy Fire divinity left behind after the Rainbow God’s death.
In the next mont, the players present noticed that the giant figure in pale clothing gradually beca translucent and then dissolved.
And Dannie, holding those two blue flas, ascended into the sky with her eyes closed.
Dannie’s white hair and long dress fluttered as her aura soared continuously.
Her accumulation had already been sufficient, and now, with the subsequent mythical knowledge and unique divinity of the Holy Fire pathway, her promotion was a natural progression...
Mr. Jing Yao once said that the ceremony was rely a tool to aid digestion. Even without a ceremony, in theory, one could ascend.
In this mont, Dannie bypassed the ceremony and ascended directly.
Because the challenge of ascension in the Holy Fire pathway does not lie in the ceremony, but in whether enough knowledge, substance, and unique divinity of paths outside one’s own have been mastered.
These were not obstacles for Dannie.
Aside from the Sorrow and Joy, Destiny, Nature, and Magic paths she had originally absorbed and integrated as [Door of Fire]... This ti, she also burned the Flesh and Conspiracy path power of the Corruption pathway, totaling five path powers.
Only to see the pale fire on Dannie gradually turn into a brilliant array of colors.
"——What the hell?! Ascended to an angel just like that?!"
The players looked incredulous.
For nine years, they had watched Dannie rise from an ordinary person, ascending at a rate beyond imagination. Becoming a Demigod had already amazed them, and now she ascends to eternality before their eyes.
This...
It’s too BUGGY!
This hack isn’t supposed to work like this?!
A mont later.
Dannie opened her eyes mid-air, an overwhelming aura dominating the entire scene.
Her jade-like eyes lightly glanced over to the blue fla priests who had hurried from the Holy Land Klein but dared not advance.
"All mbers of the ’Pale Serpent’ rcenary Corps, attack the Holy Land Klein imdiately, leave none of the clergy who believe in the Holy Fire alive!"
Dannie’s cold words echoed through the entire scene.
The expressions of the blue fla priests changed drastically.

Sun Continent.
With the help of the Naturalist Sect, the Generous Council, the Madman School, the Dawn Church, and Byron, Tresor’s counteroffensive was unstoppable.
Coupled with Arno’s strategic leadership, in less than two years, Beelzebub and Shuoli were defeated in succession.
It can be said that the originally chaotic continental situation began to stabilize and unify as early as half a year ago.
But until today, only on this extrely special day can it be announced that the century-long war, which lasted nearly seven years, has finally ended...
Because today is the last day of the Solar Calendar year 4430, and also the first day of the Pale Calendar year 1!
A brand new empire has been declared—
Dawn Empire!
The Sun Continent opens the curtain on the Sixth Era, the Pale Era!
Beelzebub and Shuoli completely capitulated to Tresor, even including Byron, and the three vassal kingdoms were all incorporated into the new empire’s territory!
And in the Dawn Empire’s capital, the forr Amber City of the Gem State, now renad "Amber Spett" Central District, a huge circular plaza is thronged with crowds.
A mighty and solemn guard team maintains order.
Queen Anna Tresor stands hand in hand with her brother Arno Tresor on the high platform, welcoming the gradually dimming sunlight, announcing the major news of the Dawn Empire’s establishnt to the citizens.
High above, the Sun was mostly covered in darkness.
The oppressive atmosphere of the previous era seed to lift with the establishnt of the new empire, and people’s hearts were filled with hope, true to the na "Dawn"...
"Dear citizens, today we gather here to witness the birth of a new era..."
Queen Anna, suppressing her inner excitent, opened her speech.
She unequivocally extended her gratitude to her brother and the many churches that provided assistance.
But more importantly, she conveyed a ssage to the citizens.
War is no more, peace shall last forever.
The densely packed crowd on the plaza raised their heads, equally excited, with many in tears.
This day, they had waited so long for.
And just as Queen Anna was halfway through her speech.
Countless people began to exclaim.
Because the sky had let out a piercing, holy golden radiance, straight down upon the high platform, enveloping Crown Prince Arno beside Queen Anna.
"What is that?"
"Is it holy light?"
"Under the Proud Sun! The rumors weren’t false! Prince Arno Tresor is the reincarnation of an angel, fulfilling the wish of peace by unifying the chaotic lands, and now he is ascending once more!"
"Praise the Proud Sun! Praise the great Arno Tresor Your Majesty!"
The crowd erupted in excitent.
With his short white hair, Arno smiled serenely and raised his head, floating into mid-air.
Two golden globes of light fell from the sky, embedding themselves into Arno’s brow, and in the next second, he gradually regained his forr strength and authority.
A long-haired man dressed in earthen colored cloak stood quietly in the corner of the plaza, holding a scroll and feather pen, recording sothing, then softly spoke:
"Life shines forth a light of humanity through him; even when darkness prevails, the Proud Sun will rise again..."
Strangely, this sentence resonated in the hearts of every citizen of the empire.
People inexplicably felt a strong emotion called "protection," their faces moved and tears flowed.
He is the firstborn of the Sun, the angel who guards the citizens!
He is the Undying Proud Sun!
The body of the Proud Sun turned into a brilliant golden light mid-air.
He glanced down at his crying sister, then at the senior mbers of the various churches... lastly, he directed his gaze towards the corner of the plaza, exchanging a nod of acknowledgnt with Sitheko, who was recording the mont.
Buzz!
The Proud Sun transford into a golden light, vanishing into the horizon.
Immortal Realm, Heavenly Fields.
A new and bright Proud Sun rose.
And this ti, a man enveloped in golden light slowly descended... it was the reborn Proud Sun Arno, who had reclaid his authority.
He walked through the Heavenly Fields, coming directly to the white throne under the Holy Tree.
And tightly hugged the gentleman in black attire who had been waiting there.
"Thank you, Jack."
The Proud Sun took a deep breath and expressed his gratitude.
Chen Lun looked at him, and a weight was finally lifted from his heart.
"No need to thank , Arno."
He responded with a smile.
"You once died for ... how could I ever be at peace if I didn’t bring you back to life."
Arno was slightly taken aback.
Then the corners of his mouth lifted, revealing his signature bright smile.
In truth, Chen Lun’s inner joy was equally hard to contain.
Both because of a friend’s complete resurrection and the completion of his own Promotion Ceremony...
[Promotion Task Complete: Virtual Ouroboros!]
[Gained Main Occupation "Sequence One - Ouroboros (Destiny Faction)"]
[You have chosen to perform two Promotion Ceremonies simultaneously, you will receive imnse ceremonial feedback...]
[You have fully digested and mastered the three power domains of the Path of Destiny: "Transformation," "Diffusion," and "Harvest!"]
[You have received the hidden sovereign title—]
["King of Angels!"]
