The God of Light smilingly looked at the stunned faces of his followers.
Wu, looking at this one this way seems to be rather pleasant.
His right hand slowly lifted up, and the golden light of heaven and earth's power gradually formed in his hand until the light faded. The object in his hands was shown to Gu Shengyin.
A silver scepter.
"This is the honor this one is giving you." The God of Light delivered the scepter before Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin roused from her stupor and extended her hands to carefully receive the scepter God had bestowed her.
The God of Light seemed to chuckle and leaned down. Gu Shengyin felt a slight feeling of coolness upon her forehead. She looked up, but the figure of the Holy God had already disappeared.
"My follower, do well, and pass on my brilliance." Only this statement was left lingering in her ears.
Only after the God of Light's aura had completely disappeared from the Holy Cathedral did people dare raise their heads.
They looked at the Holy Saintess who stood alone on the platform high above, holding the noble and beautiful scepter in her hands. Their eyes were filled with awe and envy.
The Light God favored her to this extent. At this point, who would dare say a word about her status as the Holy Saintess?
The people of the Blue Sea Empire were already regretting their aggressive words from before.
The Pope was excited. There was a Holy Saintess of the Holy Church that was deeply loved by the God, this clearly was a good thing for the Holy Church, right?
He couldn't suppress his joy and announced, "I declare that from today, Hathaway Louis will be the Holy Saintess of the Holy Church, and she will become the messenger of the God of Light, bringing the brilliance of God to every corner of the Aoqi continent!"
No one spoke even half a word of objection.
Heidi hung her head, completely filled with ten thousand points of envy.
Why? Why does God favor and deeply love Hathaway so much? I clearly am just as faithful to the God, am I not?
When Gu Shengyin returned to her quarters, she was still completely dazed.
"System, tell me, why does God treat me so differently?" She thought it over a hundred times but still could not find the answer.
System: "Within the three thousand worlds, this world counts as one of the high-level worlds. The God of Light is a powerful first-tier god. I can only protect my existence is from discovery by him and I have no way of investigating the God of Light."
Gu Shengyin was rather thrilled. "That is a god! I have never met a god before. It's a pity that I didn't get to see his appearance though."
System: "......I hope this sentence is never known by a certain being."
Gu Shengyin took out the scepter the God of Light had bestowed upon her.
The entire scepter is silvery-white, and the details of the craftsmanship were all beautiful. The top of the scepter was inlaid with a huge blue spar. Even if it was quietly placed there, Gu Sheng could still feel the powerful Light magic contained within it.
According to Hathaway's memories, there were no magic crystals in the Aoqi continent that can have such powerful energy.
It was highly likely something from the realm of God.
Gu Shengyin looked at her scepter and looked at her gorgeous robe. She then thought of the noble and magnificent statue in the Great Cathedral of the Light. The silent system spat out a sentence: "The God of Light loves luxury and beauty, I really believe it now."
Looking at it, anything related to the God does not seem to be low-key at all.
Gu Shengyin, whose bones were full of love for noble and luxurious things, was smiling so brightly her eyes were sparkling: Such a thick thigh, I will hug it.
Chapter 8
In just a few days, the news had spread across the entire Aoqi continent that the new Saintess Hathaway was deeply loved by the God of Light.
"Hathaway, recently the Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire asked for help. The northern side of their empire was invaded by the Dark forces. In the future, you will represent the Holy Church of the entire Aoqi continent. Going to the Deep Blue Empire now would be a good start...."
The Dark? The Dark forces were exiled by the God of Light ten thousand years ago to the dire lands opposite the Aoqi continent, separated by an endless abyss known as the Land of Death.
How did they cross the endless abyss to reach the Aoqi continent?
Gu Shengyin had no reason to refuse.
Two days later, she was ready to go.
Of course, since it was the Saintess traveling, the procession was luxurious.
The Holy Church not only sent hundreds of pastors to follow, but also assigned the elite of the Knights of Light to protect the safety of the Saintess, as well as two Cardinals and several bishops.
Even if it was the Pope traveling, it would not be on par with this.
"Saintess, the head knight of the Knights of Light is requesting an audience." Heidi came in and informed Gu Shengyin in a whisper.
Gu Shengyin noticed that her (Heidi) face was a bit flushed.
"Invite him in." Gu Shengyin said.
When Carlos came in, Gu Shengyin understood why Heidi's face was so flushed.
The head of the Knights of Light was not only young, but also a rare beauty.
He had a head full of pure blond hair and dark blue eyes more mysterious than the sea. When he laughed, it seemed as if the whole hall was infected by his brightness.
Any one of the three Knights was at least a legendary swordsman.
To be the head of the three top knights, he must be a Sword Saint.
A Sword Saint was already the most powerful of the swordsmen of the Aoqi continent.
With such a handsome and powerful knight, it was no wonder that Heidi would be tempted.
"Good day, Saintess." Carlos entered and knelt to Gu Shengyin in a Knight's salute.
"Good day, Lord Carlos." Gu Shengyin greeted him.
"The Knights of the Light are prepared."
Gu Shengyin nodded: "I am ready as well."
The Saintess of the Holy Church was traveling, and even brought along such a large contingent. Naturally, the whole continent would be aware of the news.
Every place they passed had countless people trying to meet the Saintess, but Carlos blocked the majority of them.
"May the Saintess not blame me for making these decisions." After their group had stopped to make camp for the day, Carlos came to apologize.
"Lord Carlos is doing very well. Of these people asking for audience, there are not many who are truly faithful."
Carlos held a smile within his heart: This Saintess is indeed just as the rumors say, utterly faithful to the God of Light.
The journey was without delays and soon they arrived at the Deep Blue Empire.
The Deep Blue Empire had received the news a few days ago, and the Emperor brought all the members of the royal family to welcome Gu Shengyin at the gate of the city.
"The Saintess has arrived! With the Saintess and these Lords here, the crisis of my Dark Blue Empire can be lifted!" The Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire said emotionally.
"Host, this person had no emotional fluctuations when he spoke," the system cautioned.
Gu Shengyin glanced at the Emperor: It was an act, and she did not know what plan the Emperor had prepared for her, requesting for them to come to this Dark Blue Empire.
"Saintess, the Deep Blue Empire has hosted a welcome dinner for you." Heidi came in.
Her hostility to Gu Shengyin had decreased a lot. The reason was simple: The Saintess could not marry or have a romantic affair.
She, as a maid to the Saintess, had no such restriction.
After seeing Carlos, she was very glad that she was not selected at the time.
