After a long time, the huge resonance force that originated from the Holy Mountain, or more accurately, from the Hall of Light, finally subsided. However, Chen Rui could feel that the "special sense" of the Origin of Creation still existed. If he could maintain this kind of feeling, his understanding and application of the Origin of Creation would definitely be greatly deepened.
Glalin once said that gathering the three holy objects and obtaining the recognition would allow one to obtain an incredible feeling and possess a power that was far beyond that of a Holy Level. This sentence did not seem to be a bluff. Today, Chen Rui finally felt this "incredible feeling".
Not only Chen Rui, but for Ben Hong who desired to create the Origin of Creation, this temptation was also quite big. Even the soul hidden in the six-star mark could not help but tremble a little. However, both Ben Hong and Chen Rui were very clear that "Arthur" only had the strength of a Garrison-Level. This was the enemy's lair, and there were terrifying enemies like Raphael and Michael. Now was definitely not the time to comprehend. If they accidentally exposed themselves because of a small mistake, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, Ben Hong endured the pain and blocked the sensing power to prevent the breath from leaking.
Different from Ben Hong, Chen Rui had the good stuff called [Deep Analysis]. He quickly "engraved" that feeling into his memory. On the surface, nothing unusual could be seen. With a slight thought, he put away the three holy objects.
Fandis showed an undisguised admiration, "Your Holiness Arthur, I didn't expect that you could cause such an amazing miracle the first time you came to the Holy Mountain. Obviously, you are a person favored by God. The 'Holy Son' is indeed worthy of the title. The coronation ceremony of the Holy Son will be held in three months. Before that, you will temporarily live in the Hall of Holy Light in the Holy Light City. After the coronation ceremony, you will officially live in the Holy Mountain's God's Seal Peak. "
God's Seal Peak was the first of the three main peaks of the Holy Mountain. It was also the place where Pope Fandis lived. It was the highest spiritual symbol of the Church of Light. Fandis' action showed his stance and attitude — although "Arthur" was "chased out" of the Long Huang Empire by Rex and even broke off the father-son relationship, it was different in the Holy Mountain. I, Fandis, would not monopolize power like Rex. Without a doubt, "Arthur" would be the next Pope.
As a matter of fact, Fandris might have had the same fear and unwillingness as Rex did. He represented Michael's side, and 'Arthur' was obviously Raphael's. However, now that Michael was in a deep sleep and Gabriel had not been seen for many years, only the awakened Raphael was in control of the situation.
Since "Arthur" was personally promoted by Raphael and was recognized by the three holy relics, especially the Crown of Thorns, his position was naturally unshakable. According to Raphael, "Arthur" had also made an unimaginable contribution, which was to destroy one of the three main altars of the Black Death Apostles!
The main altar that the Church had been searching for for many years was actually destroyed by "Arthur". The one who did it was actually "Arthur's" guardian and Raphael himself who was summoned by "Arthur". However, "Arthur's" contribution was undeniable.
Under such circumstances, even if Fandis had any ideas, he could only keep them to himself. Although the Pope held the highest authority in the Church and had limitless glory, he was actually just a chess piece in Michael's hands, or an ant in the eyes of the three angels. If he really broke Raphael's taboo, he would definitely be killed. The most Raphael could do was to inform Michael and raise another person to take the throne.
"As you wish." Chen Rui showed a respectful expression. He did not seem to be in high spirits because of Fandis' announcement or the "miracle" he had caused. Instead, he seemed humble and low-key.
Fandis nodded, he was very satisfied with Chen Rui's attitude and personally brought him to the Hall of Holy Light.
The Hall of Holy Light stood on top of a giant tower, allowing one to see the entirety of Holy Light City at a glance. It was the core of Holy Light City, and it was said that many miracles had occurred there. It was a sacred place where one could listen to the teachings of the gods. Without the permission of the Pope and the Patriarch, even the Cardinal Bishops could not easily enter.
The Hall of Holy Light was protected by powerful magical matrixes, and the entrance was guarded by a large number of Knights of Radiance. In the headquarters of the Church of Light, there was basically no problem of security. It was more of a symbol and authority.
After a while of feigning civility, Chen Rui sent Fandis and the others away and settled down in the Hall of Holy Light.
The resonance of the three holy items with the Origin of Creation made Ben Hong's heart race. Although this feeling was far from being able to directly see the Book of Creation, it was still a very rare feeling. It was much safer than sneaking into the Shrine of Light at the peak of the Holy Mountain. Therefore, Ben Hong immediately left the hidden six-star mark and began to modify the magical matrixes of the entire hall. She wanted to change the magical matrixes into a special matrixes that could amplify and attract external forces. With her strength, the Knights of Radiance would not be able to detect the movements at all.
After Ben Hong left, Chen Rui immediately asked Isabella, "Inni, what happened?"
Previously, during the welcoming ceremony outside the city, he clearly felt the strong spiritual waves from Isabella. The source seemed to be one of the three magnates, the Saintess of the Blessed Shrine, Eudora?
Isabella revealed a bitter smile, shook her head, and did not speak.
"The structure of the magical matrixes on the rooftops outside seems interesting. Let me go take a look." Rolla suddenly spoke. Although the fairy Miss Long usually liked to play dumb to prank people, when it was really time to play dumb, she would not ask for the root of the matter.
Chen Rui understood Rolla's intention. He nodded to her and watched the fairy Miss Long walk out of the hall. When he looked at Isabella again, her blue eyes were actually a little red.
Sure enough, at the beginning, she was trying hard to suppress some kind of emotion.
"Inni?"
"Nothing, I just feel stupid." Isabella lowered her head, and her veil was immediately soaked with tears. Her trembling voice was filled with regret. "It's really indescribable stupidity."
Chen Rui did not ask much. He held her hand and sat down facing her. It was definitely not an ordinary thing that could make Isabella, who had always been calm and resourceful, lose her composure like this.
Isabella leaned her head on his chest, and her shoulders shrugged slightly. All Chen Rui could do was to kiss and stroke her hair lovingly.
After a while, Isabella finally stopped sobbing. She said with a hoarse voice, "I finally understand why the Breeze Shadow Boots are in the Holy Mountain of Light."
Chen Rui's heart moved. More than a hundred years ago, Isabella, who was still an ignorant girl, was bewitched by a man from the human world. She was so devoted to that man that she did not hesitate to turn against her family and become enemies with her sisters. She stole the clan's highest artifact, the Breeze Shadow Boots, and gave it to the man. As a result, the man immediately abandoned Isabella after getting the artifact. He also cast a fatal Seal of Light Annihilation on her, and finally disappeared.
This man not only deceived the girl's feelings for the artifact, but also killed her secretly. It could be said that he was extremely vicious.
Last time, Chen Rui took back the Breeze Shadow Boots from the Light Shrine in the battle of the Holy Mountain of Light and returned it to Isabella. The man from the human world that year must be related to the church. Chen Rui originally wanted to avenge Isabella, but unfortunately, he could not find out who this person was.
From what Isabella said just now and the emotional fluctuations before, that man was actually …
Chen Rui suddenly thought of what Isabella had said before she was seriously injured by Broc. "That man only has eyes for the artifact. Even when I took the initiative to offer myself, he showed restraint. It was not until he got the artifact and mercilessly abandoned me that I realized that he actually hated women and liked men!"
To be able to resist the attraction of Isabella's stunning beauty and even disdain taking the initiative to offer herself, and also like men, Chen Rui naturally thought that the man was a "gay".
Now it seemed that there was a fundamental concept that was misguided before.
"Men"!
Those who didn't like women and liked men were not only "non-mainstream" gays, but also — women!
The Saintess was a woman!
By the way, in the battle of Starlight Academy's Star Tower trial, Chen Rui once defeated the four-winged angel Ze Hongen, known as "God's Exploration". He once revealed that the "Seal of Wind" was related to a woman …
It turned out that this was the truth of that year!
Chen Rui shook Isabella's hand, "Are you sure it's her?"
Isabella knew that Chen Rui had understood and nodded, "Although her appearance was hidden, that temperament and intuition … even if she turned into ashes, I would still recognize her. Not only that, she also used a secret technique to devour a secret treasure of the Belphegor Royal Family, 'Lightning Heart', and my own power. Now, there is still a remnant breath of the secret treasure on her body that has not been completely absorbed. I can clearly feel it through the 'Evil Blue Tear'. "
Sure enough, the person who cheated away the Breeze Shadow Boots was the Saintess Udora who disguised as a man!
Chen Rui was shocked, "Your power was devoured by her? Why didn't you tell me about it! "
"I'm sorry." Isabella's head lowered even more.
"It's nothing." Chen Rui sighed and shook his head, "I'm just blaming myself. I didn't know you had suffered so much."
The incident with the Breeze Shadow Boots left a fatal wound in Isabella's heart. Because of this, her temperament changed greatly, and she almost died with hatred. Although it was slowly healed by the comfort of true love, she was definitely not willing to reopen this scar.
Isabella leaned her whole body into his arms and smiled bitterly, "I deserve it. I hurt my father, Sabrina and those people. It's all because of me … In the 100 years before I met you, I hated everyone, but I hated myself the most."
"Everything is over. Forget the hatred and self-blame, okay?" Chen Rui hugged the trembling body in his arms tightly, "We have a better life and a more hopeful future."
"You have proven all your promises with your actions. If the biggest misfortune in my life is meeting a 'man', then the biggest fortune is meeting another man." Isabella put her face on his heart, "I only know the value of what I have after losing it. I understand what you mean. I'll listen to you, my man."
Chen Rui nodded. In any case, I must vent my anger. I can't let Isabella suffer in vain back then.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, I was just stupid back then." Isabella took a deep breath and gradually calmed her mind, "Her original strength was not strong. After devouring the power of me and the secret treasure, her strength improved greatly. It was certain that she was very proficient in the secret technique of camouflage, so she concealed her gender and appearance. As a weak woman, going to the dangerous Demon Realm alone was a good way to protect herself. It was just that although her devouring secret technique was as vicious as her heart, the secret treasure of the Belphegor Royal Family was not so easy to devour. In addition to the power of fire, that 'Fiery Heart' also had a powerful power of wind. After she got the Breeze Shadow Boots from me, she was afraid that a long delay would cause trouble, so she forcefully devoured it in a hurry, leaving behind future troubles. Judging from the breath I felt just now, the impact of the wind backfire still exists today. Unless I use some special power to expand my own power of fire to an extremely large 'amount', then I can completely integrate those wind powers. "
"Duoduo!" Chen Rui blurted out. Now he fully understood why Udora believed in a way to absorb the power of phoenix back then. It was to completely eliminate the backfire of the 'Fiery Heart'!
