Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 475: Invitation from the Holy Court

When Luo Xiu opened his eyes again,
He finally saw the familiar scene again.

He was still in the holy temple, and he himself was sitting in the middle of the holy temple, and on the three holy thrones at the top, the three saints, "Archbishop of Justice" Sid, "Knight of the Sun" Ariana, and "Deacon of the Council" Leviland, were staring at him quietly.

Luo Xiu still felt a little groggy, but when he saw the three saints at the head of the temple, he clearly realized that he had returned to the real world.

He is back, having successfully completed the promotion of the "Sixfold Destiny" and returned safely.

It was obvious that this body had not yet fully adapted to the power gained after the "promotion" -

Luo Xiu stood up from the ground. He still felt a little hot, and his movements were a little shaky when he stood up - just like the feeling of people with low blood sugar in his previous life when they suddenly stood up from a squatting position. His eyes went dark at first, and he felt a little dizzy.

After that, he felt something burning inside his body like a flame.

An unprecedented sense of power finally emerged from his body!
It's like a torrent that has just burst through a floodgate, gushing outward uncontrollably and madly!

At this moment, the unprecedentedly active spiritual energy around Luo Xiu had completely spread outward, surrounding him like a storm.
These surging spiritual powers carried an unprecedented scorching temperature. The white carpet where Luo Xiu was standing was already burning with golden flames, and above the outline of Luo Xiu's body, an unprecedentedly bright and dazzling golden light was emanating.

At this moment, Luo Xiu looked like a shining golden man - the spiritual energy surging from his body had already begun to burn fiercely, and the storm that spread out from it swept the "holy flame" into one ring of fire after another that flashed with fine golden light. The scene around him had begun to distort, distorted by the scorching heat!
But Luo Xiu himself did not feel any obvious burning sensation.

Those "stormy" spirits did not hurt him, on the contrary, he only felt warm.

When the discomfort from returning from the "Sea of ​​Spirituality" gradually dissipated, his consciousness and his body gradually adapted to returning to the real world. At this time, Luo Xiu could clearly feel the connection between himself and the surging spirituality overflowing outward, so he slowly raised his arm.

And when he raised his arms, those spirits began to wrap around him as if attracted by some powerful force.

The spirituality was surging and rejoicing, and Luo Xiu had gradually felt that he would soon be able to fully control these surging spiritualities.

The surging [Glorious] spirituality was now as substantial as a physical object, spreading out in patches of golden light in Luo Xiu's field of vision. Luo Xiu stared at them, and at the right moment, he suddenly clenched his palms -

hum!
Instantly, a deep rumbling sound was heard from the surging spiritual vortex.

Scattered pieces of golden light, with flickering dots of light suddenly blooming, then gradually fading and dissipating.

The spiritual storm was suppressed.

And that surging power gradually returned to Luo Xiu's body like a small torrent.

The air around him finally stopped distorting, and when the surging spiritual energy had almost completely returned to his body, Luo Xiu slowly raised his arm and turned his palm upward, gathering the spiritual energy in his palm.
It was in Luo Xiu's palm - a bright golden flame suddenly bloomed, then contracted, bloomed again, and contracted again, and so on.

After seven cycles, Luo Xiu dispersed the spiritual energy he had mobilized and slowly lowered his arms.

A calm, satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this moment - he has confirmed that he can fully control the new power he has gained after being promoted to the "Sixth Level Destiny".

Now he has become the "Holy Winged Envoy". After Luo Xiu fully mastered this new power, he has clearly felt that the bottleneck feeling like shackles in the "Fifth Destiny" has completely disappeared.

The power he possessed now was probably only one-third, or even one-fifth, of the upper limit of the power he could control at the level of "Sixth Fate".

He couldn't wait to conduct some experiments with his newfound power.

Also, he wanted to learn some skills and techniques that could only be mastered after being promoted to the 'Sixth Level Destiny'.

But not yet, because he is still in the "Lord Temple".

He was still being watched by the three "saints" sitting on the holy throne.

Luo Xiu then slowly raised his head.

He looked at the three "saints" in front of the holy throne at the top of the temple: Archbishop Sid, "Sun Knight" Ariana, and "Deacon of the Council" Leviland, who were also looking at him with a smile.

"You succeeded, Luo Xiu."

Archbishop Sid smiled and said in a calm and gentle voice:

"You remembered my reminder. In the spiritual sea of ​​Mirror Crystal, your desires were not swayed by temptations and illusions. You did a good job."

"I can feel that your essence has been sublimated. We have indeed witnessed the 'ascension' and the birth of a saint with the sixth destiny of [Glorious]."

"Now, you are the Archbishop, Luo Xiu. You can sit with us."

"..."

As he spoke, Archbishop Sid started walking towards the bottom of the temple.

The "Sun Knight" Ariana and the "Deacon of the Council" Leviland also followed him, walked down from the Holy Throne, and came in front of Luo Xiu with Archbishop Sid.

Because Luo Xiu has successfully ascended - the current "Luo Xiu Carlos" is at the same level as the three saints present, as well as Sid, Ariana, and Leviland.
Then, according to the holy laws formulated by the "Holy Court", the three saints can no longer regard Luo Xiu as a bishop of a lower priesthood, but should regard him as having the same authority as the saints of the "Sixfold Destiny".

This is first reflected in the fact that the three saints should first step down from the throne and change their attitude from looking down on Luo Xiu as a superior to looking at him at eye level as an equal.

When Sid, Ariana and Leviland came to Luo Xiu, Archbishop Sid looked Luo Xiu up and down, a smile appeared on his face again, and he asked Luo Xiu gently:

"First of all, we should all be grateful for the guidance and protection of the Sun."

"You have successfully advanced to the 'Sixth Fate', Luo Xiu. This is a blessing from God for our entire Songyuan Diocese, and even for the entire 'Holy Court'."

"So, now that you have been promoted to the 'Sixth Fate', what kind of priesthood have you obtained from the 'Mirror Crystal Pillar'?" "..."

"I am now the 'Holy Winged Envoy', Archbishop."

Luo Xiu also had a faint smile on his face, and he nodded respectfully and humbly to Archbishop Sid.

As Luo Xiu was saying this, the air behind him suddenly became turbulent like ripples on water, rippling into layer upon layer of folds, and bursts of bright golden light burst out from it.

Six rays of light and shadow of "holy wings" flashing pure white and brilliant golden light gradually emerged behind him. That was the most important symbol of being the "Holy Wing Messenger"!
……

When Luo Xiu said the name of the priesthood "Holy Winged Envoy" and fully spread out the six holy wings shining brightly behind him,
It was visibly apparent to the naked eye that Archbishop Sid and Deacon Leviland both had expressions of surprise on their faces.

At first they were surprised and astonished, but soon the expressions on their faces turned into joy.

And under the paladin helmet of "Sun Knight" Ariana, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation of "Ah", and the shock of the three saints was fully revealed.

If they had only heard Luo Xiu say that the result of his promotion was to become a "Holy Winged Envoy", they would not have believed it too much - but when they saw the six holy wings shining with sacred light behind Luo Xiu, the doubts that had arisen in them naturally dissipated.

They knew very well that the "Holy Winged Envoy" was a very rare priesthood in the "Sixfold Destiny" of [Glory].

The number of the previous profession "Apostle of Divine Light" in the entire Holy Court is already rare, and as for the "Holy Winged Envoy", there are only two in the entire Holy Court.

Even the current "Pope" of the Holy See, Pope Lorenzo of the "Holy Crown", only became the "Bishop of the Divine Crown" when he was promoted to the sixth level of the destiny of [Glory].

The Pope became the "Holy Pivot of the Divine Crown" in the "Seventh Path", broke through the "Seventh Path" of human limits, and was promoted to "demigod" in the "Eighth Path", then he became the "Celestial Priest of the Divine Crown". He was therefore given the honorific name, which is "Holy Crown" Loland.

The reason why it is the "Holy Crown" instead of the "Divine Crown" is because that great emperor - "Emperor Augustwell the Great" is also a demigod of the [Supreme] - that "Supreme Emperor" did not allow Pope Lorende to use the title crown of the "Divine Crown", so Pope Lorende is the "Holy Crown", but there is no doubt that he has also obtained divinity.

As for the two people who had truly become "Holy Winged Envoys" in the current "Holy Court" system - those two are now in the "Holy Court" of the imperial capital, and have both been promoted to the seventh level of destiny.
One is a cardinal, the second cardinal of the “College of Cardinals”;

The other one is the current "Knight Master Templar" of all the Knights Templar in the Holy Court——

The legendary "Dragon Blood Knight" Demoster, his main occupation is a Paladin, but he has also been promoted from the "Priest" promotion path all the way to the Holy Winged Envoy of the Sixth Fate. He is an existence who has tempered both his main and secondary occupations to the extreme under the [Glorious] promotion system.
Under the Holy Crown Pope, it can be said that "Arch Knight of Dragon Blood" Demosthenes is the most powerful force in the Holy See.

When they learned that Luo Xiu's promotion to the "Sixth Destiny" resulted in him becoming the "Holy Winged Messenger", this was undoubtedly explosive news for Archbishop Sid, Ariana and Leviland.

They knew what the appearance of a third "Holy Winged Envoy" among the clergy of the "Holy Court" meant.

It is not just a matter of the "Apostle of Divine Light" who can directly hear the oracle taking a step forward, it also means the emergence of a qualified archbishop who has the potential to be promoted to "demigod".

Not all saints of the "Sevenfold Destiny" are qualified to be promoted to demigods, and the "Holy Winged Envoys" naturally have an advantage in this regard.

In the legends preserved by the "Holy Court" from the Age of Gods, it is said that the first apostle of "Great Sun's Moment" was the first "Holy Winged Messenger". He was later promoted to "Lord of Wings of Light" and finally became a demigod, becoming the first "Pope". It was also he who founded the first "Holy Court".

However, the Holy See has now lost the specific methods of being promoted from a "Judge of Holy Light" to a "Apostle of Divine Light", then to a "Messenger of Holy Wings", and finally to the "Lord of Wings of Light".

Therefore, in many cases, the promotion of priests to these hidden priesthoods basically depends entirely on talent and luck.

In fact, when the "Second Cardinal" was promoted from the "Holy Wing Envoy" to the seventh level of destiny, he did not eventually become the "Lord of Wings of Light", but a lower-level cardinal priesthood "Holy Cardinal of Shining Wings".

He also has the qualifications to be promoted to "demigod", but overall the hope is slim.

Of course, to truly become a "demigod", there are other more complicated factors.

But no matter what, the emergence of a new six-fold destiny "Holy Winged Messenger" still gave Archbishop Sid, Ariana and Leviland new hope.

Among them, Archbishop Sid was the most excited.

Because he was once a "Holy Light Judge", he was surprised enough when he learned that Luo Xiu was promoted to a "Divine Light Apostle". Now that he learned that Luo Xiu had become a "Holy Winged Messenger", Archbishop Sid was almost speechless with excitement.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful and complicated.

While Archbishop Sid was having many complicated thoughts, Leviland, the "Deacon of the Board of Directors", looked at Luo Xiu and spoke slowly:

"Luo Xiu, first of all, on behalf of the Holy Court, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion."

"You are now the 'Holy Winged Envoy'. I will go back and report your promotion to His Holiness the Pope. Now, in accordance with the instructions given to me in advance by His Holiness the Pope, I extend an invitation to you—"

"When Her Excellency Ariana and I arrived at Songyuan Diocese, we discussed this matter with His Excellency Archbishop Sid. We invite you to go with us to the Holy See to meet the Pope - we invite you to become a member of the Holy See's bishops' group."

"Luo Xiu. You are obviously qualified to become the Holy Cardinal of the Holy See."

"We will train you as a quasi-Cardinal. You will receive the most thorough protection and the greatest amount of resources."

"Of course, this requires full consideration of your wishes."

"..."

After a pause, Leviland, the "Director and Deacon", looked at Luo Xiu with a golden light in his eyes and asked clearly, word by word:

"So, Luo Xiu."

"Tell me your answer—what is your wish?"
