What if you ascend to the wrong world?

The astral gods are different. Most of them have not paid attention to humankind for many years, and even the churches that believe in them have not received any more divine pronouncements.

In this situation, choosing the still active Lord of Dawn as the breakthrough point is undoubtedly the most appropriate.

After all, at this stage, he couldn't possibly break into the Astral Plane, indiscriminately capture gods, and become an enemy of the high-ranking beings of the entire world.

"what happened?"

The voice came from behind; it was Irene Wett.

She walked through the garden and came to Ye Tu's side, looking in the direction Ye Tu was facing.

But I didn't see anything.

"It's nothing, just setting a 'bait' for Him." Ye Tu pointed to the sky.

"The Lord of Dawn?" Irene Vitte raised an eyebrow slightly. "How can you be sure He will take the bait?"

After spending these past few days with Ye Tu.

Her views on the existence of 'gods' have also changed to some extent.

In the past, she would never have described the Lord of Dawn in this way.

But while perspectives may change, the facts remain the same.

The difference between gods and mortals is beyond imagination.

Aside from faith, gods have almost no needs from the world.

What kind of bait could possibly lure such a transcendent being?

“He will,” Ye Tu said with a smile.

The legends that circulate throughout the Dawn Empire tell of Cyril's corruption and depravity by the Apostles of Original Sin.

Is the Lord of Dawn truly powerless to stop it?

No, absolutely not!

Take Lyle for example. Although his [Hidden Eye] is special, he is still too insignificant compared to a high-ranking being like a god.

If the Lord of Dawn truly wanted to stop it, a single holy flame would have burned Lyle down to just his two eyeballs.

Therefore, all of this is actually the result of His letting things go unchecked.

The purpose...

It is naturally an 'Ancient God'!

According to the Dawn Legend, the Lord of Dawn defeated the Ancient God before the first sunrise, bringing the first rays of dawn to the world, but he was also injured by the Ancient God and lost some of his authority.

That's the legend, but what's the truth...?

It's not hard to guess.

The Immortal's Shadow is a special existence born from the fusion of the power of the ancient gods and the pollution of the immortal path.

Next, whenever Lorne, who has been influenced and transformed by it, exhibits unusual behavior, the Lord of Dawn will definitely take action.

Chapter 30: The Ultimate Secret Sword Chapter

The next morning.

In the Holy Tribunal, Lorne slowly awoke.

The countless ancient cryptic texts flickered in his mind, making his head throb and his whole being feel dizzy.

After a long while, he managed to sit up with difficulty.

But they found a middle-aged man with chiseled features and a cold, hard demeanor standing at the foot of the bed, his golden-white divine robes revealing his identity.

"Your Highness Declan?!"

Lorne was startled and was about to get out of bed.

But what happened last night left him feeling weak. He tried several times but could only barely get out of bed. He couldn't even stand steadily, let alone perform the proper rites.

"Have a seat first," the middle-aged man said coldly.

His tone, like his appearance, was devoid of warmth.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Declan."

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Declan Evans.

One of the three... now should be called one of the two major bishops of the Dawn Church, who has been confirmed to be the future head of the Holy Inquisition.

What happened last night?

Without any preamble, Declan went straight to the point and asked.

"last night……"

A hint of confusion flashed in Lorne's eyes.

His intuition told him that something very important had happened last night…

This is very important!

But no matter how hard he tried to recall, his memory of last night was a blur.

"I have no idea."

"Don't know?" Declan frowned.

In the past, Lorne would have been terrified and filled with unease by such an almost interrogative tone.

But now, he felt nothing at all, and simply shook his head:

"Yes, I don't know why, but I seem to... not remember anything from last night."

"..."

Declan was silent for a few seconds.

"Someone will come and question you later."

He didn't doubt that Lorne was lying.

After all, he had used divine magic to examine Lorne's memories while Lorne was still unconscious.

Not only Lorne, but the other three Holy Radiance Warriors who were still unconscious also lacked their memories of the previous night.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will cooperate."

"Ah."

Declan nodded slightly and then turned and left.

If it weren't for the bizarre events of last night, a first-level apprentice Saint Radiance Warrior like Lorne wouldn't even be qualified to meet him.

after a while.

Having regained some strength, Lorne was about to stand up and stretch his body.

He had just picked up the greatsword leaning against the wall.

creak~

A young-looking pastor pushed open the door and entered.

"Let's go."

His tone was somewhat cold.

"Don't talk too much. Just answer whatever I ask when we get there."

Although they are all clergy members of the Dawn Church.

A priest has the potential to become an archbishop, or even run for pope.

And the Holy Radiance Warriors...

Even if you reach the top, you'll only be a Paladin Commander.

But a priest is a priest, and a Holy Light Warrior is a Holy Light Warrior.

From the perspective of priests, especially those who were originally Holy Light Warriors and later became priests, Holy Light Warriors should be honest and dutiful.

“Okay.” Lorne remained unusually calm.

In the past, he would feel somewhat uncomfortable with the pastor's attitude, even if he didn't say it out loud.

But today there was none at all.

After last night's events, his state of mind seemed to have undergone some extremely subtle changes.

……

……

More than an hour later.

After confirmation by the three bishops of the Holy Tribunal, it was determined that Lorne had only fainted due to shock.

As a result, he was not only released from the Inquisition, but also given a day off.

As for doubts...

Actually, there are some.

But that wasn't enough for them to expel Lorne from the Church of Dawn.

After all, every Holy Warrior swore an oath before the statue of the Lord of Dawn before receiving the blessing.

To rashly expel someone would surely show that the Lord of Dawn is blind and cannot even discern whether his followers are devout.

Unless it is the Pope, at least one of the two archbishops must agree.

Otherwise, no one would dare to take that risk.

"last night……"

In the passage leading out of the Inquisition, Lorne, clad in heavy gold and white armor and carrying a greatsword, frowned as he recalled the past.

What exactly happened last night?

He remained standing outside the Inquisition until he walked out of the passage and stood completely outside the Inquisition.

The hazy memories became clear at this moment, replaying in his mind.

A blurry shadow, mutated teammates, tentacles covered in fine downy feathers, and...

The Ultimate Sword Chapter!

Suddenly, they could understand a small portion of those incomprehensible ancient cryptic texts.

It can absorb and exhale the energy of heaven and earth!

Cleanse the body of impurities and miasma, refine the spirit to its ultimate truth, seek immortality, and search for longevity!

The secret sword is singular; wherever the heart leads, nothing is beyond its reach!

Even from just a few words, one can sense the profound mystery contained within.

This is a supreme forbidden manual that leads directly to the realm of gods and can be practiced by mortals!

Lorne stood there, stunned.

As a Holy Warrior, the Lord of Dawn possesses the sharpest spear and the strongest shield in the world. What he should do now is to immediately turn back and report all of this to the bishops and even Lord Declan!

but……

But another voice was in my heart.

Faint, yet impossible to ignore.

They won't believe it.

Going back now will only put me in danger.

Never relinquish the power to decide your own safety to someone else!

The hesitation lasted only three seconds.
