"Bai Lushi."
Those within the White Church who have attained a certain status and position are bestowed the na "Bai."
Of course, this is rely a symbol of status and position. Typically, "strength" is not part of this consideration. In this world, true power is acknowledged with the title "Saint." For instance, the Saintess, Charlette of the Hero’s team — she is acknowledged as the mightiest within the church today. Even stronger than the Pope.
The most exalted person in the Muguang Cathedral is Bai Lushi.
Basically, unless it’s a special ti, you can always see this devout follower in the main hall of Muguang Cathedral, serving the great deity. Although an old relic, he appears as a kind and amiable elder, earning great respect in people’s hearts.
Children also adore this elder.
It’s no easy task to make such an old figure, a conservative, make a mistake. But for Rose now, it is the perfect ti to test her new power.
When she stepped into the Muguang Cathedral, eyes naturally turned towards her.
No words were needed, no expressions required. Just standing there, she could capture all attention.
Frankly speaking, among those visiting Muguang Cathedral, while Rose could be considered beautiful, she wasn’t exceptionally stunning. After all, this was the Human Central Empire, the Capital of the Central Empire. Noble ladies and madams, so of whom were devout in their faith, others simply showing off their identities. Either way, those who had the luxury to frequent the church were often nobles, resulting in many beggars on streets not far from the cathedral.
After all, these nobles occasionally showcased their benevolence with generous alms to the beggars.
Of course, the beggars gathered here were organized, the "strong" among beggars. Genuine frail beggars couldn’t survive in such a competitive place — yet, no one said to purge them. After all, there were connections behind them. These beggars were "sensible," not offending those they couldn’t afford to offend.
Rose did not restrain her power. If it were a deity, if it were "Them," they should rightfully draw everyone’s gaze.
It was a naturally noble existence.
Bai Lushi’s eyes were drawn to her.
This was unreasonable.
As the one being attracted, Bai Lushi realized the anomaly almost instantly. He wasn’t a so-called strong person, yet through his day-in-day-out devotion to the deity, his heart was unshakeably steadfast. Even the most beautiful of won couldn’t captivate his attention. Moreover, the appearance of the woman before him was ordinary.
This woman walked straight towards him.
She had sothing to discuss with him.
What was it?
The elder, in a daze, realized his body was trembling.
Why tremble?
Was it fear? No, absolutely not. He didn’t harbor such feelings. Even if death approached in an instant, he had the confidence to face it calmly. Even before the Demon King, he wouldn’t feel any fear. He had long dedicated everything to the great deity.
Then what made him tremble?
Ah!
It was the divine.
He saw the smile on the girl’s face, and suddenly he felt the greatness and sanctity.
Heart sincerely spiritual...
The girl extended her hand towards him.
"Thou, who serves with loyalty."
Bai Lushi instinctively bowed his head, the divine hand resting on his gray-haired head. The divine glory descended upon this devout follower at this mont.
"I see your contributions, I rember your sacrifices," Rose’s voice seed to co from a distant ti and space, "The Demon King has already begun to resurrect, a new disaster is about to arrive. As my devout follower, are you ready?"
Bai Lushi knelt loyally, honoring this "deity": "I shall use my life to hinder the Demon King’s resurrection."
"That is not your task. That is the duty of the Saintess. As my loyal follower, what you need to do is to wholeheartedly assist the Saintess."
"Yes! I will heed your teachings faithfully!"
The divine left.
They left behind a wooden carving, a carving of Saintess Charlette, the face on it was vague — it was an extension of the divine’s will. Perhaps Saintess Charlette...
Bai Lushi harbored a terrifying speculation, perhaps Saintess Charlette would once again defeat the Demon King, then receive divine favor, ascend to the "Celestial Realm," leave the mortal world! She was already beginning to possess the attributes of the divine!
This thought filled Bai Lushi’s heart with irrepressible excitent. If soone like him could have a wish, if soone like him could have a need, it would be as he imagined. He devoted his entire life to the divine, and if he truly could ascend to the Celestial Realm, beco a servant of the divine... it would be the greatest recognition of his life.
He did not envy Saintess Charlette, he only yearned, desired — the divine had already noticed him, was aware of his dedication, aware of his efforts, descended beside him... that was once the honor exclusive to Heroes... he should be sufficiently satisfied, yet this also made him see a glimr of hope.
He would bestow the greatest strength to Saintess Charlette on the day of the divine creation.
To let Saintess Charlette have the power to defeat the resurrected Demon King!
He needed to write to the church! Within the church, their attention to the Demon King’s resurrection was insufficient! They only knew the Demon King had regained his left hand, only knew the forr Hero possibly colluded with the Demon King... they deed it as not posing a threat, they believed even at full power, the Demon King was vanquished — even if the Demon King regained thirteen components, he was not invincible... that was erroneous.
The divine will had descended. If ignored, the world would once again be shrouded in that shadowy darkness.
This matter must be prioritized, but... as long as he well assists Saintess Charlette, it will not be an issue.
Ah~ how fortunate he was, to shoulder such a mission!
...
"It’s going to succeed." Mohe suddenly smiled, glancing at the side at Doro, "Mr. Doro, what do you think, if I had used so cunning tricks when we fought back then, could I have won against you?"
"Cunning tricks, you an?"
"Imagine for yourself."
Doro was silent for a mont, finally slowly speaking: "I wouldn’t have any confusion back then, even if you had any tricks, it would ultimately end in a confrontation of strength with ."
"So confident? What if I made you accidentally kill your comrade, what would you do?"
"I’d hate you, then kill you."
"Eh~ quite a good answer."
