"What's going on..."

  Before Jiang Chen could say "dare not," his expression suddenly froze, and he was stunned.

  He saw someone standing not far outside the Adventurers' Guild entrance, staring at him.

  This person was wearing a standard white robe and had a cross-like weapon strapped to their back.

  A Judicator from the Light Church!

  And when Jiang Chen's eyes met theirs, the person nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

  Clearly, they were here for him!

  Without bothering to deal with the Master of Life and Death anymore, Jiang Chen headed straight for the door.

  "Where are you going?"

  Seeing Jiang Chen suddenly leave, the Master of Life and Death was taken aback and said coldly, "Scared?"

  "I'm scared of you, you fool."

  Jiang Chen turned back, looked at the Master of Life and Death as if he were an idiot, and then sent a friend request, saying, "I'll come find you later!"

  "I'll be waiting!"

  The Master of Life and Death accepted the friend request and spat out a few harsh words.

  Outside the Adventurers' Guild.

  Jiang Chen quickly approached the Church Judicator.

  "Holy Envoy of the Mortal World."

  The person looked at Jiang Chen and called out.

  "What is it?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

  "The selection tournament for the blessing of light starts at 8 AM tomorrow. You need to register at the Judicator now," the Church Judicator said.

  "Register... now?" Jiang Chen asked.

  "Yes, now, or you won't be able to participate," the Church Judicator nodded.

  "Alright, I'll go now."

  With that, Jiang Chen followed the church official and quickly left the guild hall.

  Inside the Adventurers' Guild.

  Seeing Jiang Chen had left, Qian Xingtianxia also gave the Master of Life and Death a cold look and said, "You better clean your neck and wait for death!"

  With that, he left the guild with the Late-night Fairy.

  "Mortal World, Qian Xingtianxia, they all must die!"

  The Master of Life and Death said with a grim face.

  Meanwhile.

  Jiang Chen and the Church Judicator headed toward the Light Chapel.

  "How did you know where I was?"

  On the way, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.

  The first time he left the city, he was chased by people from the Light Church riding Griffin Beasts.

  Then, in the Chaos Forest, Gandalf found his location.

  And now, it was the same.

  It seemed like the Light Church always knew where he was?

  "This is an order from Bishop Bai Dingyang. He told me where you were," the Church Judicator replied.

  "And how does the bishop know where I am?" Jiang Chen asked again.

  "The bishop is guided by the God of Light, naturally omniscient!" the person said with a face full of reverence.

  Nonsense!

  Jiang Chen knew very well that this wasn't any divine guidance.

  But this method made Jiang Chen realize that the Light Church was indeed not easy to deal with.

  They had all sorts of trump cards and strange abilities.

  Plus, with that old immortal Pope, opposing the Light Church was truly unwise.

  "I must hide my intentions well, not let the Church know I have any dissent!"

  Jiang Chen thought to himself.

  After walking for nearly twenty minutes, a grand chapel appeared in view.

  Jiang Chen quickly went inside.

  At this time, there were few people in the outer hall of the chapel, and various monks and nuns had already begun to rest.

  Although the sky was still bright, it was almost 10 PM.

  However, Jiang Chen still saw a familiar figure, kneeling on the ground, wiping the already shiny floor with a cloth.

  "Eilili."

  Jiang Chen called out.

  The figure paused slightly, then quickly looked over following the voice. It was Jiang Chen's maid, Eilili.

  "Lord Mortal World!"

  Seeing Jiang Chen, Eilili's face lit up with a smile and she hurried over.

  "What are you doing?"

  Seeing the water stains on Eilili's clothes, Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

  "Cleaning the hall," Eilili replied with a smile.

  "Why are you doing this kind of work?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

  "The steward arranged it. I'm new to the Church, and newcomers have to do these tasks," Eilili said matter-of-factly.

  "What's the point of doing this? Stop it."

  Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively.

  "Huh?"

  Eilili was taken aback, hesitating, "But, the steward..."

  "What steward, I'll speak directly to Bishop Bai. You should be learning the theology and magic of the Light Church," Jiang Chen said seriously.

  To advance in the Light Church, the main path was to master theology and participate in theological exams.

  As for magic, the spells of the Light Church were undoubtedly among the most miraculous.

  Mind-reading, Holy Word, and that outrageous Great Prophecy, not learning them would be a real waste!

  "Theology? Magic?"

  Eilili's eyes widened in surprise.

  "What is it?" Jiang Chen asked.

  "Lord, you need to be a nun for at least a year to qualify to learn theology, and as for magic..."

  Eilili paused and said, "You need to have a magic talent to practice it."

  "Don't worry about it. I'll talk to Bishop Bai about theology, and as for talent..."

  Jiang Chen looked at Eilili and asked, "How do you know you don't have magic talent?"

  "They say only geniuses have magic talent, and I'm not a genius," Eilili replied earnestly.

  "It doesn't matter whether you have talent or not, and that's just what you think."

  Jiang Chen paused, then looked at the Church Judicator beside him, "Why are you still here?"

  "To take you to the Judicator."

  "No need, I can go myself. You can leave now."

  "Alright, please make sure to come and register in time."

  With that, the Church Judicator turned and left.

  After he walked away, Jiang Chen looked at Eilili and said softly, "You don't have to worry about these things. I'll find a way to solve them. Just promise me you'll work hard to learn theology and magic, climb as high as you can."

  "Only by standing higher will the light be closer to you!"

  Jiang Chen emphasized.

  "Standing higher, the light will be closer to me."

  Eilili repeated softly, her eyes lighting up, growing brighter.

  It was as if something clicked in her mind.

  "Yes, remember my words."

  Jiang Chen knew he had to plant a seed of ambition in her!

  The higher her position in the Church, the safer he would be in the future.

  "I'll remember, Lord Mortal World!"

  Eilili nodded earnestly.

  "Alright, go back to your room and rest."

  Jiang Chen waved his hand.

  "Lord, will you come back to rest? I want to serve you."

  Eilili said with a pure and earnest expression.

  But her words had an inexplicable hint of awkwardness.

  "Uh, we'll talk about it later, I have things to do."

  Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned and left.

  He still needed to go to the Judicator to register; he absolutely had to secure a spot for the blessing of light!

  His class was the Holy Light Envoy, and as long as he obtained enough Holy Light Power, his hidden class could still grow!

  And the blessing of light was a perfect opportunity to gain Holy Light Power!

  Soon, Jiang Chen passed through the chapel's outer hall.

  He followed an outdoor corridor to an ancient black building.

  This was the Skyward City Judicator.

  Jiang Chen quickly went inside.

  In the spacious room, there were dozens of people standing.

  There were Church Judicators, Church knights, and Church mages.

  They stood in neat formations.

  In front of this group, there was a square table.

  A burly man with a beard was sitting at the table, holding a list in his hand.

  "Is there anyone else who wants to register?"

  The bearded man, the head of the Judicator, Gway, looked at the crowd and asked.

  "Me!"

  Jiang Chen's voice rang out.

  For a moment, everyone inside looked over.

  Then, a buzz of chatter erupted.

  "That's the guy who wants to participate in the arena battle alone!"

  "Participating in the arena battle alone, is he crazy!"

  "Didn't expect him to actually come, he's got guts!"

  "He got our team captain demoted to guard the prison, don't let me meet him in the arena!"

  "Don't worry, whoever meets him will give your team a chance to vent!"

  "People who get into the Judicator through connections shouldn't exist!"

  ...

  Jiang Chen hadn't expected his arrival to cause such a stir.

  He didn't bother to pay attention, walking straight to Gway and, under the astonished gazes of the others, sat down in the chair in front of the table.

  "Head Gway, I'm here to register."
