The High Priest looked at the dense army of crusaders standing in the sky.
" Puisance…Ciel…Capital…Trne…Déclaration."The Kingdom of Heaven is his capital city, with his lofty throne…God's declaration." The High Priest sang praises of the forbidden spell that Nongyue had given him, the Kingdom of Heaven Rebirth. The High Priest's baby-like skin, which had originally been due to his successful cultivation, began to age rapidly and wrinkle.
"... Foi... la Rédemption... Avec... Virtuous... Au-dela..." It was only because of your virtue that humans could surpass you. Even so, the High Priest still sang praises for Nongyue. Following the High Priest's words, magic power gathered. A crack appeared in the sky, and traces of light leaked out from the crack.
“Circle……Misery……Ordre……Joy……CielPure As the High Priest finished his last sentence, his entire body seemed to have withered. This was because the High Priest simply did not have the ability to use the Great Forbidden Spell of Rebirth in Heaven. However, the High Priest could not let Nongyue be tainted at all, so he forcefully used the Great Forbidden Spell that Nongyue had given him. The magic power in his body was not enough for the High Priest to use up his life force. Using one's life to exchange for a forbidden spell that could release this divine spell, yes, it was a divine spell. This was no longer something that mortals could use.
The crack in the sky completely opened after the high priest finished chanting the spell. The crack split into a beautifully decorated door that emitted light. It shone on everyone.
Hearing, sight, touch... everything lost its meaning. Bathed in the light, everyone's body and mind relaxed. Those who had internal injuries from cultivation or those with chronic diseases were healed under this light.
However, everyone could feel that behind the " door " in the distance, there was a sense of oppression that was heavier than a mountain. It made people feel fear, but they could not help but feel a sense of worship.
"Thump." One of the Crusaders threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground, looking at the baby in the arms of the withered high priest with a crazy look.
This voice sounded like an order. There was a second one after the first one. One after another, people from the Cross Cult threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground. Soon, all the Cross Cult members prostrated on the ground and looked at the high priest who slowly descended from the sky with respect and fanaticism.
"You have betrayed the glory of my Lord.”The High Priest looked at the kneeling Crusaders and said calmly.
After waiting for everyone to look guilty, he continued,"Although you have abandoned the glory of my Lord, my Lord is merciful. Are you willing to return to the embrace of my Lord again?”
"We are willing to return to the embrace of our Lord.”All the Crusaders had thought that they were about to be abandoned by the Lord, but they did not expect to be saved by the Lord. They answered without hesitation.
"My Lord, your servant is about to return to your embrace.”Looking at Nongyue in his arms, the High Priest's wrinkled face revealed an ugly smile. That smile was ugly, but it was very sincere and reassuring.
The High Priest had used his life to defend Nongyue's glory, and he had used his life to stop an internal conflict within the Cross Cult. He used his life to pull these crusaders into the arms of his Lord.
The high priest waved his hand at a priest on the city wall, signaling him to come down. When the priest walked in front of the high priest, the high priest handed the Nongyue in his hand to the priest and instructed,"In the future, you will be the High Priest of the Holy Land of Jerusaem, and my Lord will be under your care.”
"High Priest, you?" The priest respectfully embraced Nongyue with both hands, his voice choked with sobs. He knew that the High Priest who had sacrificed everything for Nongyue was about to return his master's embrace.
"I'm just about to return to my Lord's embrace. You don't have to do this. You should be blessing me.”The High Priest's lips curled into a smile before he closed his eyes.
"The High Priest has returned to the embrace of my Lord.”The priest knelt in front of the high priest and shouted with a choked voice.
"Congratulations, High Priest, for returning to the embrace of my Lord.”In the Holy City, all the clergymen knelt on the ground and respectfully sent off this old man who had sacrificed everything for his faith.
The magicians and the representatives of other religions on the city wall looked at the old man with complicated expressions. There were indescribable expressions on their faces. There was admiration, fear, and even more relief.
No matter how much they admired this old man, they could never forget the scene just now. The door that opened in the sky, even now, no one had died under that spell. However, they did not think that the spell was just for show. That oppressive feeling, that kind of reverence and worship, all meant that this spell was no longer a spell but a 'law'. Now that the user of this technique had died, they heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they did not want to use this technique on themselves in the future.
However, how could Nongyue watch as this loyal servant of hers walked into death? Of course not. At this moment, Nongyue, who was in the arms of the High Priest, who had been designated as the next High Priest, began to emit a boundless light. This light was warm and gentle, and everyone could feel all the virtues in this light. Justice, compassion, love, and so on.
Nongyue slowly rose into the air as a pool flew out from her body. This pool was none other than the Angelic Resurrection Pool.
The Angelic Resurrection Pool absorbed the High Priest's body into the pool. Countless faith poured into the Angelic Resurrection Pool from all directions, transforming into the purest power of light. The High Priest's body slowly transformed in the Angelic Resurrection Pool. His body regained its youth, and his withered body was gradually replaced by a strong body. Slowly, the High Priest's body returned to the appearance of an eighteen-year-old. However, this was not the end.
"Puchi." A pair of wings emerged from the High Priest's back. The golden feathers on the wings indicated that the High Priest's status was different from ordinary angels. However, the transformation was not over yet. Two pairs of wings had grown out of the High Priest's back, which meant that the High Priest had already reached the rank of a Seraph, which was the upper three ranks of angels.
