Chapter 1024: The Holy Glory Platform

Holy Blessing Summit.

Rich faith power, vast plaza, magnificent angel sculpture.

Looking at the familiar scene, Chen Rui couldn’t help but feel emotional in his mind.

The last time he came here, he used the identity of ‘Paul’s subordinate’, and he also became the Holy Light Guardian Knight out of forced courtesy. In addition to getting the Snow Dallet Flower for Yini, that time, he also gained 1 of the most important people in his life, Little Phoenix Duoduo.

“Your Holiness Arthur?” Eudora’s voice brought Chen Rui back to his senses.

“Your Holiness Eudora.” Chen Rui said apologetically, “I was distracted by the power released by Sir Raphael’s statue just now. Please forgive my rudeness.”

“Sir Raphael’s glory shines throughout the Holy Blessing Summit, and you can sense the power of God’s closeness everywhere.” Hearing Raphael’s name, Eudora didn’t dare to neglect, “Your Holiness doesn’t have to be so restrained. You are the Holy Child personally selected by Sir Raphael, and you have an unimaginable ancient inheritance. It is only a matter of time before you become the next pope. In the future, the Holy Blessing Summit will shine even brighter because of the existence of Your Holiness.”

“Your Holiness Eudorahas has overpraised. I would still need Your Holiness’ advice in the future.” Chen Rui bowed slightly to Eudora, which was already a fairly formal etiquette.

Although there was no official canonization, the upper levels of the church knew that ‘Arthur’ was favored by the Supreme Angel Raphael, and he was even able to enter the Hall of Light, the highest forbidden place on the Holy Light Mountain. Not to mention becoming the Holy Child, even the pope’s throne was already in his bag. In terms of current actual status, it was by no means under the 2 archbishops, Eudora and Pusmeer.

“Your Holiness and I are in the same fraction of the Holy Blessing Summit, so there’s no need to be so polite. Let’s go.” A slight smile seemed to appear behind the Holy Lady’s veil, and the holiness revealed a graceful aura.

Eudora was extremely slender and taller than Chen Rui. She had blue hair and blue eyes, exuding an ethereal temperament all over her body as if she was extraordinary.

Chen Rui had a vague sense of familiarity when he first saw Eudora, and now he finally understood why.

Because of Tiffany.

Eudora and Tiffany’s temperament were somewhat similar. Tiffany had a dual personality. What was similar to Eudora was not the girl who looked a little charming in the Bloody Empire trade fair, but the ‘Satan’s apprentice’ in the Mountain Seckred. In comparison, Tiffany was a bit more cold and arrogant while Holy Lady Eudora gave people a more amicable feeling. People who come into contact would involuntarily feel close, but they dared not have blasphemous thoughts.

Along with Eudora was the apprentice of the Holy Lady, half-elf Miranda, who had a brief encounter with Chen Rui, and some of the main knights and members of the Holy Blessing Hall. Strangely, he didn’t see Tiffany whom he wanted to see most.

Chen Rui followed Eudora all the way to the Holy Blessing Hall and took his seat in the hall. Eudora introduced Chen Rui about the general situation of the White Cliff as well as the personnel and facilities of the Holy Blessing Summit. This included some steps and etiquette that should be paid attention to in the canonization ceremony.

Although Eudora’s tone and attitude had always been neither humble nor arrogant, it gave people a very comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.

“Okay, Your Holiness Arthur, that’s basically it.” Eudora stood up gracefully, “Sir Raphael’s biggest purpose was to bring you here for the canonization ceremony in 2 months… no, it’s less than 2 months; 56 days later to be precise. The canonization ceremony will be held at the Holy Blessing Summit, and the specific location is the Cloud Platform. The current layout of the Cloud Platform has actually only completed the main part. Just in case, Your Holiness needs to give it a try first. Your Holiness, please come with me to the Cloud Platform.”

“Okay.” Chen Rui knew that this was the highlight of the day, so he stood up.

The Cloud Platform was a wide open space, which was not as big as the plaza with Raphael’s statue, but much bigger than the Snowy Summit Stage where the Snow Dallet Tree was originally located. Construction was currently underway to build a large platform.

This platform was obviously used to hold the conferring ceremony of the canonization ceremony. It was about 2 stories high, but the shape was quite peculiar. Judging from the scale of the appearance, about 2/3 of the progress had been completed.

Eudora took Chen Rui to the platform step by step. There was also a small altar-like structure on the platform, and 10 men dressed as knights stood under the structure.

“Your Holiness Arthur, these 10 people are the Silver Splendor Guardian Knights of the Holy Blessing Hall.”

Upon hearing Eudora’s introduction, the 10 knights turned to Chen Rui and bowed in unison. Chen Rui nodded and asked, “Your Holiness Eudora, what should I do?”

“Your Holiness is going to board the Holy Glory Platform and then activate the power of the Crown of Thorns’ ‘[Divine Blessing]’ to convert these 10 knights’ physiques into Body of Light Blessing.”

“This…” Chen Rui frowned, “Your Holiness Eudora, to tell you the truth, although I was able to activate the ‘[Divine Blessing]’ power of the Crown of Thorns, I can convert ordinary physique into light-element physique, but the success rate is not high. Let alone 10 knights, even if it is 1, it is impossible to succeed all at once.”

“In the dictionary of God, there is no word ‘impossible’.” Eudora smiled lightly, “For the archangels closest to God, they also have the magical power of turning ‘impossible’ into ‘possible’. This is the purpose of you coming to the Holy Blessing Summit.”

Chen Rui frowned and looked at the Holy Glory Platform, “Could it be that this Holy Glory Platform…”

“Yes, Your Holiness Arthur, now you step up and stand within that red circle. Then, please unleash the full power of the Crown of Thorns.”

Chen Rui walked up to the Holy Glory Platform according to her words and came within the range marked with a red circle with a diameter of about 5 meters. The crystal-clear Crown of Thorns appeared on his head.

This red circle was actually a collection of complex ancient runes. After he walked into the red circle, Eudora seemed to have activated some kind of special power. Chen Rui only sensed that the special power emanated from the red circle. A string of symbols gathered in the air. These were exactly the ancient runes. These sentences or phrases were very special. Even at the level of Chen Rui, he could not fully understand the meaning of them. Right now, he could only quickly remember them in his mind, and discuss them with Zola later.

Those runes were fleeting, turning into a circle of light that enveloped Chen Rui.

Chen Rui felt that a strong and powerful faith power poured into his body in an instant. Not only faith power, but also a more special power. In his soul, there seemed to be a strange scene of a planet that was half light and half darkness. Day and night alternate, brewing mysterious and huge breaths.

This kind of ‘illusion’ should be caused by that kind of power, but the specific scene varied from person to person. The higher the level, the more one could comprehend the mystery. Chen Rui secretly confirmed it with his own star kingdom. There seemed to be many new insights in subtleties.

However, this comprehension did not last long. Under the effect of the Holy Glory Platform, the light of the Crown of Thorns instantly became bright. Chen Rui’s thoughts flowed, suppressing his strength at the Demon Emperor level as he activated the [Divine Blessing].

A pure white light covered the bodies of the 10 guardian knights. The breath of these 10 knights quickly began to change. Their faces looked a little painful as if they were undergoing some kind of transformation.

The light of the Crown of Thorns lasted for nearly 5 minutes and gradually dimmed, and the power of runes in the red circle disappeared, but the light on the 10 guardian knights did not disappear. They seemed to be wrapped in a light cocoon. The situation inside could not be seen clearly.

After about half an hour, the light cocoon gradually solidified before they cracked one by one.

The hair color of the 10 knights all turned silver white, and the body exuded a rather mellow light element power. 1 of the knights seemed to have obtained the [Body of Light Blessing].

“That’s great!” Eudora smiled happily, “Your Holiness Arthur has successfully converted 10 guardian knights.”

Chen Rui let out a long breath with a trace of exhaustion in his eyes, then he slowly stepped off the stage. “This is thanks to the magical power of the Holy Glory Platform. If it weren’t for it, I would definitely not be able to succeed.”

“Your Holiness Arthur is too humble. Your performance is much better than I expected, and even quite perfect. You have integrated the power of the Holy Glory Platform so quickly and successfully converted at one time.” Eudora’s eyes fell on the guardian knight who seemed to have the [Body of Light Blessing], “Right… my most loyal Sandro the knight, the light breath on you is particularly pure. You will go to the Astrology Hall of the Star Summit to do a test later. If you really have the [Body of Light Blessing], you will be directly promoted to Holy Light Guardian Knight, and I will report to Sir Raphael for you to participate in the next holy apprentice selection.”

Sandro, who was hit by luck, was overjoyed and thanked Eudora as well as Chen Rui excitedly. After the 10 knights left, Eudora said, “Your Holiness Arthur, you may have discovered that the Holy Glory Platform’s power buff is closely related to the strength of the owner of the Crown of Thorns. I take the liberty to say that although the 10 knights were successfully converted, I’m afraid that Your Holiness is still far from enough if it were 100. Therefore, please don’t be complacent, Your Holiness, and continue to work hard to train and integrate the power of ancient civilizations to ensure that there are no mistakes in the canonization ceremony.”

“I understand, thanks Your Holiness for the reminder and encouragement, I will definitely keep it in my mind and will not fail Sir Raphael’s expectations.” With that said, Chen Rui looked at the Holy Glory Platform with a curious expression, “Your Holiness Eudora, can I ask you something?”

Eudora smiled, “Your Holiness, please say.”

“I got the inheritance of the ancient civilization, and a considerable part of it is related to the magic circle. The Holy Glory Platform contains the mystery of the power of ancient runes, which is equivalent to a complex magic circle.” Chen Rui carefully looked at the surrounding facilities, “This magic circle should be based on something. It triggers special power that buffs faith and light power, especially the power of holy relics. I feel that this ‘source’ is very special, and it seems to have a beneficial effect on my spiritual imprint fusion and strength growth. Can Your Holiness please tell me what exactly is the ‘source’ of this power?”

“I didn’t expect Your Holiness Arthur is also a magic circle master? Or… grand master?” Seeing that Chen Rui did not deny it, Eudora was slightly surprised, “I’m not proficient in magic circles. This is the spirit gathering magic circle created by Sir Raphael himself. As for the ‘source’ that Your Holiness is asking about, it involves a recent incident at the Holy Blessing Summit, which is actually… a person.”

“A person!” Chen Rui’s pupils shrank suddenly. Originally, when he felt the planet alternating between light and darkness in the illusion, he felt that something was wrong. Now that he heard Eudora’s answer, an ominous omen surged in his mind immediately.
