The Pope held the scepter that symbolized the status and glory of the Saintess and handed it over to Gu Shengyin.
Everyone remained silent as they stared at this historic scene. The masters of oil painting and sculpting firmly engraved this scene in their minds. This kind of occasion was bound to be recorded in the annals of history and passed down to the world.
However, a scene that no one had expected occurred.
Gu Shengyin's hand hadn't even touched the scepter when that scepter made of the strongest and most precious material in the entire Aoqi Continent shattered inch by inch. It fell to the ground and was burned to ashes by the golden Godfire.
Gu Shengyin: "… …"
The Pope: "… …"
There was only one person who could do this.
Everyone looked at the high and mighty statue of the Light God. Many people had already knelt down.
The Pope looked at Gu Shengyin in confusion. Wasn't Hathaway the Saintess who was favored by God? But if God really favored her, why did he destroy the scepter?
After all, a Saintess without a scepter wouldn't be recognized by the masses.
Some nobles were already whispering that this Saintess's faith wasn't pure and caused God's dissatisfaction. That was why she destroyed the Saintess' scepter in anger.
Some people were already shouting that they should severely punish Gu Shengyin, the Saintess who caused God's dissatisfaction. This suggestion was actually approved by many people.
Gu Shengyin glanced over and saw that the speaker was someone from the Aquamarine Empire. The Aquamarine Empire was a new empire and was famous for its belligerence. It had always been at odds with the oldest empire on the continent, the Aoqi Empire. Hathaway was the niece of the Aoqi Empire's Emperor, so the people of the Aquamarine Empire naturally didn't want her to become the Saintess.
Unlike the people from the Aquamarine Empire who were gloating, the people from the Aoqi Empire were looking at Gu Shengyin with worry.
Heidi lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with schadenfreude. She couldn't wait for Gu Shengyin, the Holy Maiden, to be deposed. That way, she would have a better chance, wouldn't it?
The Pope did not believe that this was because the gods were dissatisfied with the Saintess. After all, the robe that Gu Shengyin was wearing was a gift from the God of Light.
Gu Shengyin ignored everything around her. She just stood there quietly, as if she was waiting for a result.
Sure enough, when the people of the Aquamarine Empire began to clamor, the high and mighty God finally responded.
A golden light rose from the statue, and an illusory figure walked out from the statue.
Many people felt a stinging pain in their eyes and had no choice but to lower their heads. Soon after, they realized who that person was.
God's Descent!
The entire Great Cathedral fell to their knees. Even the Pope did the same.
Only Gu Shengyin remained standing. It wasn't that she didn't want to kneel, but that she couldn't.
The moment she saw the figure, her first reaction was the same as everyone else's. However, an inexplicable force held her back.
The figure walked step by step through the void until it reached Gu Shengyin's side.
"The scepter of mortals is not worthy of your glory, my most devout believer." The God's low voice resounded in the Great Cathedral, resounding in everyone's hearts.
Gu Shengyin looked at the figure in front of her in shock. It was just an illusory figure, but it seemed to have the power to destroy heaven and earth. No one doubted the true identity of the person in front of them.
The God of Light.
