Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Looking at Li Xingzhou, who seemed at a loss and tried his best to look away but still managed to steal a glance, Jiang Wanzhao thought her younger brother's expression was adorable.

She straightened up, crossed her arms, which accentuated her broad-mindedness, while Li Xingzhou's pupils contracted, as if he were focusing on something.

"Good morning..." Li Xingzhou coughed lightly, "Is there something you need?"

Jiang Wanzhao had already noticed the changes in Li Xingzhou's body, so she was extremely satisfied and did not continue to tease him. Instead, she took out a cell phone, ID card and passport from her chest: "You said you wanted to travel last night, so I got the relevant documents for you. You can go wherever you want. What are you standing there for? Come and get them."

"What, do you want me to deliver it?"

Li Xingzhou decisively walked up to Jiang Wanzhao, took the slightly fragrant item from her hand, and casually asked, "Are you willing to let me go?"

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm a controlling person?"

Jiang Wanzhao said lazily, "I have a lot of things to do, do you expect me to stay home and take care of you every day?"

Now that there's Jiang Xuetang at home, I can't just walk around in front of Xingzhou dressed in revealing clothes every day.

It's enough to know that this brat has a tendency to say one thing but mean another.

Then, quickly send him out to play, lest he be bewitched by Jiang Xuetang.

"Oh."

"Go have fun." Jiang Wanzhao tightened her arms around him. "I only have two things to say. First, remember to come back before the 2nd of next month."

"Your birthday."

"No, don't you want to see the coronation ceremony?"

"understood."

"Secondly..." she lifted her arm, which accentuated her shapely figure, "You are not allowed to associate with disreputable women."

Two o'clock...

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but glance at her, and saw that Jiang Wanzhao turned around and walked out of the bedroom after she finished speaking.

Does it feel like she's playing hard to get?

Moreover, how did my self-control get worse?

Just because he kissed Jiang Xuetang?

Ha~ It seems I really need to go to the Vatican to cleanse myself of my sins.

……

The Nine Realms of Xuanhuang, the East is illuminated by the dawn, and the West holds the starry sky.

In the century following the Great Cataclysm, the Holy Light Church descended upon this place, dispelling darkness, bringing light, and spreading the Gospel.

Twenty-three empires and duchies from the five continents of East, West, South, North, and Central were established here, with theocracy as the supreme authority.

The Northern Continent of Stars, the Land of Revelation, the Center of the Papacy's State Affairs.

As the central location of the Holy Light Church, this place attracts many tourists. Except for private areas, people can freely enter and exit other areas.

After getting off the plane, Li Xingzhou walked along the golden road under the bright light, wearing sunglasses. Everywhere he looked, there were devout believers of all skin colors.

Li Xingzhou learned from Jiang Xuetang that the Holy Light Church was merely a follower of the Skywing race. In addition, he had read relevant materials on the way here, and he knew even more that when the Skywing race descended to earth, they effortlessly absorbed the faith of the entire Starry Sky Realm.

He wasn't surprised by this, since the local history had always been based on this belief, and now that a priest had descended from heaven, it would be their fault if they didn't bow down and worship.

Judging from the words and actions of Cardinal Winston, who is known as the Son of Light, the goal of the Holy Light Church is now to spread the Gospel to the world of enlightenment.

Unfortunately, it always ended in failure.

"Sir, are you a believer?"

A priest dressed in black robes walked over carrying a book, and the golden halo behind his head was dazzling.

As Li Xingzhou strolled through the church, he glanced around and noticed that anyone with the characteristics of the Qiming Realm's human race would be questioned by the pastor.

"No."

Why don't you believe me?

Li Xingzhou thought for a moment and said with great interest, "When I was a child, I wanted an airplane. I went to pray to a priest, but I still didn't get one."

The pastor sighed softly, "You've done it wrong. You should have hijacked a plane first, then flown it here. The priest would have forgiven your sins."

What the heck... they're not even going to act anymore?

Is that really what they say?

"Because man is born sinful, he is a sinner."

The pastor declared passionately: "Once you become a believer, the priest will bestow light upon you and cleanse you of your sins."

Li Xingzhou asked curiously, "Then what sins have you committed, little boy?"

The priest stared at Li Xingzhou in astonishment: "Is this a sin?"

Li Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then what counts as a crime?"

"Do you see that woman kneeling down in repentance over there?"

"I saw it."

"Her husband came home last week and told her that he was having an affair and that the mistress was pregnant. The mistress wanted to take her place, but she always trusted her husband."

"Why?" Li Xingzhou became genuinely interested.

"Because she knows her husband is infertile, and if she tells him the truth, he will know that his two children are not his."

"So her crime was cheating?"

"No, it's a lie."

Li Xingzhou laughed. Isn't this just choosing the lesser crime to brainwash people?

"In that case, my sins are indeed great. It seems that only the Pope can absolve me of my sins."

The priest looked at Li Xingzhou with disdain and asked dismissively, "Tell me, what crime?"

“The crime of resisting Jiang Wanzhao.” Li Xingzhou said, while releasing some of his own aura.

The pastor's expression changed: "Honored guest, please wait a moment."

The pastor left in a hurry, and the news that Jiang Wanzhao would ascend the throne on a chosen date, riding the wave of Longxing Island's great victory, had already spread like wildfire throughout the world the day before yesterday. Indeed, quite a few people have come to see His Holiness the Pope in the past two days.

All of these are related to this matter.

This person's aura is second only to the cardinals, he is no ordinary person, and it is worth reporting to the authorities!

Li Xingzhou stood still, clearly feeling the tall, imposing, mecha-like knights on both sides of the church fixing their gazes on him, their eyes filled with hidden sharpness.

According to Western hierarchical classifications, these knights belong to the eighth rank of Star Knights in the knightly hierarchy.

Equivalent to a Qi cultivator at the eighth level of the Qiming Realm, the Returning to Truth Realm.

These people shouldn't turn into magical girl knights or knight warriors, right?

The thought had barely crossed Li Xingzhou's mind when he saw a brown-haired youth in front of him receive a blessing from an archbishop, and suddenly golden light shone around him as he donned a holy robe.

"Hahaha, I finally feel it! My inner universe is burning!"

?

Another transformation?

Li Xingzhou frowned. Is the only way for ordinary people to gain extraordinary power through transformation?

While I was pondering this, I saw the pastor hurriedly return.

"Honored guest, His Holiness the Pope requests your presence."

······

Chapter 31 Then please, Pope, speak up, I'll go out now.

The main sanctuary of the Holy Light Church is not a single room, but a precisely calculated theology.

Its depth is a kind of taming—starting from the bronze gate inlaid with reliefs of the seven virtues and the seven deadly sins, one's gaze and consciousness seem to be drawn into it.

On both sides are twenty-four Corinthian columns, whose shafts are not smooth marble, but are carved with spiral scrolls depicting the suffering of saints throughout history and the light brought by angels sent down to earth by God.

Walking here, Li Xingzhou could feel as if he were stepping on the spine of time, but his steps did not falter in the slightest.

Not only did he not have any, he also brazenly looked around.

The dome disappears into a dark height that is difficult to measure with the naked eye, but that is not the limit of architecture, but rather a divine height that believers cannot fathom.

Just one glance at it makes you feel incredibly small.

For Li Xingzhou, this feeling had not occurred for a long time.

No wonder they are hailed as the strongest Skywing Clan in this world.

Li Xingzhou looked ahead. The light here was not for illumination, but for law, for order, and for a strict hierarchy.

The Supreme Light represents the Pope, the Light of Order represents the Cardinals, and the Humble Light represents the many believers.

At the far end of the hall, behind the altar, on the three steps, stands the ivory throne, symbolizing the Pope. It is inlaid with the bones of a giant beast and whale teeth, and the ends of the armrests are roaring lion heads.

The seat was very high, with its back against a huge stained-glass window whose colors and composition exuded majesty and violence, above which was a picture of the Seraphim's final judgment.

Pope Hill III of the Holy Light Church sat enthroned upon her, the backlighting casting her as a majestic silhouette, while the sword of the seraph on the stained-glass window seemed to emerge from behind her shoulder—

The spokesperson of God on earth is visually integrated with the power of judgment in the Kingdom of Heaven, weaving together to form the most undeniable implication.

Li Xingzhou stopped in his tracks.

"Since you have seen the Pope, why don't you bow down?"

A majestic and ethereal voice emanated from the cardinal beside the pope. In an instant, light appeared on the twenty-four giant pillars, and the profound gospel, like the sound of heaven, struck straight to the soul.

"Naturally, it's because..."

Li Xingzhou stomped heavily on the black and white marble checkerboard floor and leaped to his feet: "The Pope sits too high, I don't like it!"

boom!

A primordial energy, more dazzling and intense than gold, surged forth from Li Xingzhou's body, crashing down upon the Pope seated on his throne like a blazing sun.

Li Xingzhou came here for the Cup of Heaven in the Pope's hands. Now that he has seen it, he lays his cards on the table and stops pretending!
