My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

Father Harlin agreed without delay and managed to compose himself.

He first took a few steps back, closed his eyes, and then began to chant a prayer.

As he chanted, a pure, sacred energy emanated from him.

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

He was somewhat familiar with this power; it was the unique energy possessed only by those who guided the gods.

This guy is also a Divine Guide?

A short while later, Harlin finished chanting, and a dazzling golden light shone on the ground in front of him.

Under Harlin's control, the golden light began to move slowly and steadily across the ground.

It looked as if they were drawing a formation diagram.

Sitting on Lin Mo's shoulder, Yin Xue's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a knowing look.

"I see."

"What did you figure out?"

Lin Mo asked in a low voice.

Yin Xue nodded his little head.

"This guy is also a divine guide; drawing this array diagram is his divine guide ability..."

Father Harlin spoke as he controlled the light dots to draw the array.

"Your Majesty the Demon King... you are indeed very knowledgeable. This is indeed one of the abilities bestowed upon high-ranking priests by the gods, namely [Divine Revelation]. Only heroes guided by this ability can unlock the Divine Revelation."

Lin Mo frowned slightly after hearing this, recalling his previous experience in Mingbei City.

"But I've seen a hero before who unlocked the Holy Revelation without going through this ritual."

He was referring to Zhou Buyan, who was cornered at the Mingbei City Church.

This caught Yin Xue completely off guard.

Father Harlin paused almost imperceptibly as he drew the array.

A hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

But under Lin Mo's invisible pressure and Yin Xue's curious gaze, he still revealed a secret:

"Actually... the power of the Holy Revelation is not 'given' to the hero by the gods."

"What?"

Lin Mo and Yin Xue were both taken aback.

Harlin continued to refine the array of flowing light on the ground while explaining.

"Each piece of 'Holy Armor of Light' bound to a hero contains immense potential and a unique growth path. When the hero's strength reaches level 30, the power of Holy Revelation will naturally awaken if a certain condition is met."

He paused, glanced quickly at the black sword in Lin Mo's hand, and continued.

"The ability of [Divine Revelation] is to foresee the conditions for unlocking Divine Revelation, and then convey these conditions to the hero. Once the hero fulfills these conditions, Divine Revelation will truly begin."

After hearing this, Lin Mo and Yin Xue's expressions became somewhat subtle.

Yin Xue even sneered out loud.

"Pfft! Good heavens! So your church and gods were just playing a game of information asymmetry? Hiding the instruction manual that came with the holy armor, and then you acting as the messengers, all while calling it divine revelation?"

Lin Mo sneered, "Isn't this just treating the hero like a fool?"

Father Harlin looked somewhat embarrassed and offered an awkward explanation.

"There's no other way. Those heroes have too much potential for growth. We have to use this method to control them."

Lin Mo then spoke again.

"So... what are the typical conditions for a Holy Initiation?"

That's what he's most concerned about.

"Most of them... aren't too difficult."

Father Harlin listed them.

"For example, fighting for a certain period of time in an environment with a specific attribute, killing a certain number of a certain type of monster, or reaching a certain emotional point... etc. These are usually goals that a hero may naturally encounter or achieve with a little effort during the growth process."

Lin Mo nodded to himself. In that case, this scam was pretty unethical.

They fooled almost all humans and heroes.

Even the former Demon King Yin Xue didn't know.

Finally, Harlin took about 10 minutes.

The golden magic circle on the ground has been completed.

As the light stabilized, it formed a complex circular array with a diameter of about three meters.

"Please...please stand in the center of the formation, holding your...sacred armor."

Father Harlin pointed to the center of the formation.

He had no idea whether Lin Mo's black sword could be recognized as a holy armor of light.

Without hesitation, Lin Mo stepped into the center of the array, where golden light flowed.

He held a black sword, the tip of which lightly touched the ground.

"Relax, I will try to communicate with your sword..."

Father Harlin took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and pressed his hands against the edge of the formation.

The entire golden magic circle suddenly lit up.

The light flowed like living water, attempting to entangle the black sword in Lin Mo's hand.

However, at the very moment the golden light touched the black sword—

hum! ! !

The black sword suddenly emitted a low, defiant tremor!

The deep patterns on the sword seemed to come alive.

It emitted a dim light, fiercely resisting and repelling the golden array light!

A cold, deathly aura burst forth from the black sword.

It almost shattered the entire guiding formation!

Father Harlin groaned, his face instantly turning pale, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the black sword in horror, it was instinctively resisting the probing of the Holy Revelation!

Is this really the Holy Armor of Light?

Just when he thought the ritual was about to fail and he might suffer a backlash, Lin Mo frowned and a thought struck him.

He forcefully suppressed the black sword's instinctive agitation, while simultaneously transmitting his mental energy and a faint sense of recognition to it.

The black sword's resistance subsided slightly, and its dim light receded, but its icy texture remained.

The golden array light finally managed to climb onto the sword's blade with difficulty, and Father Harlin sensed it and immediately began to decipher it.

He closed his eyes tightly and immersed himself completely in it.

His expression went from struggling to maintain his composure to disbelief, and finally to utter shock and bewilderment.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his body even began to tremble slightly.

This process lasted about fifteen minutes.

When the last glimmer of golden light faded from the black sword, and the array's light completely dimmed and dissipated.

Father Harlin collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

He was panting heavily, and the way he looked at Lin Mo was as if he were looking at some indescribable monster.

"How is it?"

Lin Mo sheathed his sword and asked calmly.

Yin Xue also flew closer out of curiosity.

Father Harlin swallowed hard several times, then stammered:

"I...I've presided over countless Holy Revelation guidance ceremonies, and seen all sorts of Holy Armor and conditions...but in my entire life...I've never seen...such...such demanding unlocking conditions!"

Lin Mo and Yin Xue's expressions both turned serious.

They had long been aware of the Black Sword's special nature, and the unique conditions for its Holy Revelation were also expected.

But judging from Harlem's reaction, it's probably not an ordinary case.

"explain."

Lin Mo was mentally prepared.

If it's really too difficult to achieve, then I'll just give up on this ability.

Anyway, I'm strong enough with my current stats.

Father Harlin took a few more breaths before announcing the conditions for the Black Sword's revelation in a trembling voice:

"Its... holy awakening condition is... to independently kill 20... Beast Kings of level 50 or higher."

Lin Mo: "..."

Yin Xue: "..."

The two of them spoke almost simultaneously, uttering the two words.

"this one?"
