In the ninth layer of the Temple of Radiance.

  Lin Lei seemed to have been forgotten, abandoned here. Only the cold and stern bailiffs in purple robes brought meals to Lin Lei every day, and with his arm bones already broken, Lin Lei could only move his body, lowering his head to eat the food.

  In a dimly lit and cold secret room, Lin Lei spent his days in solitude.

  Life and death.

  Lin Lei didn't know, but Lin Lei wouldn't easily give up hope for life.

  These days, Lin Lei has also been thinking about why this revenge failed. This revenge process was all within Lin Lei's plan, even including Clyde owning the magical beast that Lin Lei had calculated. However, Lin Lei did not think that there would actually be a Holy Domain-level magic defense scroll!

  Creating magical scrolls is much more difficult than casting magic itself.

  To create a sanctuary-level magic scroll, whether it's the consumption of magical power or spiritual power, both must exceed that of directly casting a sanctuary-level magic spell. Lin Lei didn't think Clyde would have a sanctuary-level defensive magic scroll on him.

  Lindel Kowert also said: "Not to mention Clyde, even the Red Archbishop probably wouldn't have a defensive scroll of the Sanctuary level on him."

  With the power of Lin Lei's nine-level warrior transformation, plus Bebe's power. Logically, Clyde is undoubtedly doomed to die. Although Lin Lei's revenge plan seems a bit 'hasty', in reality, the success rate is almost 100%. However, the appearance of 'Fate Guardian' destroyed Lin Lei's plan.

  "Who would have thought that a kingdom's king has a Holy Domain Magic Scroll." Lin Lei was very unwilling.

  It's really frustrating.

  On a cold winter's night, the temperature was extremely low. The streets of Finlay City were sparse with people, and a small black shadow mouse stood at the corner of a street wall, looking at the distant towering Light Temple in the distance. The little shadow mouse just looked like that, motionless.

  Little Shadow Mouse 'Bibi' stays here from midnight till dawn.

  He didn't dare to enter the Bright Temple, because 'Bei Bei' was very clear that the Bright Temple was a sacred place where even strong practitioners of the Sacred Realm did not dare to trespass. If he, a demonic beast mouse, were to go in, he would definitely not be able to escape. At that time, if it were caught, Lin Lei would surely be even more heartbroken.

  It's daytime now.

  "Brother, I will definitely avenge you." Beibei took one last look at the Temple of Light and then disappeared into the streets.

  For nearly twenty days, Shadowmouse 'Bibi' has been thinking about avenging Lin Lei. However, he found that Clyde is now a startled bird, not only setting up magic arrays around him with the magician, but also having Caesar living next door.

  Shadow mouse 'Bebi' didn't even have a chance to steal.

  However, Bebe was very patient.

  He will wait, and keep waiting until the day Clyde lets his guard down, then he will suddenly appear and directly bite Clyde to pieces to avenge Lin Lei.

  Jade Orchid Calendar 9999 December 28 midnight.

  "Bang!"

  The door of the secret room where Lin Lei was located opened, and two white-robed priests directly entered. They didn't seem as cold as the bailiffs, but instead brought a stretcher and carefully placed Lin Lei on it, with both of them lifting Lin Lei together.

  "What's going on?" Lin Lei coldly glanced at the two white-robed priests.

  Two men in white robes were sacrificing, and as soon as they thought of Lin Lei's massacre that day, they felt a little intimidated in their hearts.

  "Lord Lin Lei, His Holiness the Pope is ready to treat your injuries." One of the female white-robed priestesses said softly.

  "Treat injuries?"

  Lin Lei's heart stirred, "Could it be that the Pope really wants to give me a way out?" Lin Lei didn't say anything more and remained silent. The two white-robed priests carried him forward, floor after floor, until they finally reached the top of the Bright Temple with Lin Lei in tow.

  At this moment, the top floor of the Temple of Light is empty, and in the central position, there is a complex octagonal magic array diagram. Eight ascetics with disheveled hair, wearing hemp robes and barefoot, are sitting calmly at the eight corners of the magic array diagram, while Haidens, the Pope of the Church of Light, wearing a set of bright white luxurious long robes, stands in the central position of the magic array diagram.

  On the edge of this top-level hall, there were three red-robed archbishops, two deputy judges with esteemed positions in the religious tribunal, and six 'superior deacons'. Each one of them was a ninth-grade powerhouse. With so many ninth-grade powerhouses present, it's possible to imagine just how powerful the Radiant Church is.

  "Let go, you can leave." Gilmer said aloud.

  "Yes." The two white-robed High Priests didn't dare to breathe, as the people in this grand hall were either incredibly powerful cultivators or the most mysterious 'Special Executors' of the Religious Court, along with three red-robed Archbishops and two Vice-Chief Judges.

  These are all big shots.

  Lin Lei was put down, and the two white-robed men hastily retreated with respect. The large gate closed once again.

  Lying on the stretcher, Lin Lei's eyes scanned over this large circle of people. With Lin Lei's keen eyesight, it was easy to judge that anyone in this top-level hall was an extremely powerful strongman, and probably not one of them was weaker than that ninth-grade strongman 'Caesar'.

  "Your Holiness, what are you going to do?" Lin Lei's voice was low and hoarse.

  Haiting glanced at Lin Lei and smiled faintly, saying: "Lin Lei, although the mistake you made this time is not small, however, after our internal discussion in the Vatican, we have decided to give you another chance. And now, we are ready to join forces to cast a spell to restore you to your best state."

  If Lin Lei had some understanding of the Light System magic, he would have easily discovered the loopholes in Haiting's words.

  "Grandpa Deling, it seems that the Temple of Light has made a big move this time." Lin Lei communicated with Deling Kwovar's soul.

  "What's going on outside?" Deling Kwovawt was cautious and didn't even dare to release a thread of his soul power.

  Because Haiting is a Sanctuary Apex powerhouse, once Delin Kowert leaves the Dragon Ring, the Pope of the Radiant Church will definitely find out.

  "There are twenty people outside, and it's estimated that even the weakest among them are ninth-level strongmen. Eight of the Ascetic Practitioners and the Pope of the Radiant Church are currently in a magical formation." Lin Lei said.

  Dellin Kowert's insight was much broader than Lin Lei's: "Lin Lei, to fully recover you only need a strong Light System Sanctuary to cast 'Light of Life' and you'll be fully recovered. It doesn't require such a big commotion, I think they're probably summoning the energy of the Light System Main God, otherwise it wouldn't require such a big commotion."

  The main deity of the Guangming system is not limited to one.

  However, 'The Lord of Light' is the most powerful one.

  "Summoning the power of the main god?" Lin Lei was shocked. "They're dealing with me and still summoning the power of the main god, what do they want to do?"

  "I'm not clear either."

  In the era of Deling Kurvate, both the Light Church and the Dark Church were still relatively weak, just two religions in the Pangu Empire. At that time, there were also few masters of the Light Church, and it was impossible to produce so many masters at once like today.

  "Your Majesty, the time has come," Gilmour said respectfully.

  Haiting looked up and nodded slightly.

  "Let's get started," said Hitchens calmly.

  The eight ascetics sitting in a circle immediately radiated a milky white glow on their bodies, and the thick light magic power poured into the magic array diagram. The entire magic array suddenly lit up, and a golden holy book appeared in front of Haitings. Haitings' own body also gradually emitted a golden light.

  Haiting turned over a page in the Bible.

  "Lord, you have given us everything." Hitchens said in a low voice, but his words were like thunder that resounded in the hearts of everyone present. At the same time, the golden light on the surface of the Bible shone brightly, and the holy white light in the magic array diagram also surged up.

  When two rays of light touched each other — "Hiss—hiss—"

  A straight beam of light shot directly upwards, entering the spire of the Temple of Light. Then it broke through the spire and shot up into the boundless dark night sky. The entire city of Fenley could clearly see that one holy white and gold intertwined beam of light piercing the clouds.

  In the grand hall on the top floor of the Temple of Light.

  Haiting suddenly looked at Lin Lei, and Lin Lei felt a thick power holding him up, causing Lin Lei to slowly float into the air, finally landing directly above the center of the magic array diagram. Which was right above Haiting's head.

  "Lord, have mercy on all people, and we must believe in the Lord."

  Haiting looked up, and his face radiated an exceptionally sacred light.

  "Hmm~~~"

  The entire sky above the Temple of Light began to shake, and a milky white halo started to appear in the sky above the Temple of Light. The range of this milky white halo was too large, and many people in the entire city of Fen Lai noticed it.

  "He who betrays his master shall be deprived of His gifts, but he who believes in the Master shall receive His blessings." Haiting turned to another page of the Bible.

  "Boom!"

  The heavens shook, above the Temple of Light, what was once an endless black night now had a milky white glow that was extremely eye-catching. In the center of the milky white glow, a rift suddenly tore open in space, and a beam of white light shot down from the sky at incredible speed.

  "Whoosh!"

  That white light, carrying a hint of pressure that made everyone's heart tremble, fell directly through the top of the Light God Temple tower and finally landed on Lin Lei's body floating above the magic array diagram.

  In the grand hall on the top floor of the Temple of Light.

  Haitings, eight ascetics, three red-robed cardinals, two vice-judges, and six high-ranking deacons all looked up at Lin Lei. The white light contained a sense of majesty that naturally inspired reverence and faith in Haitings' heart as well.

  Although it is just a thread of faith, it comes from the Lord of Light itself.

  A white light completely entered Lin Lei's body, and a faint white glow immediately appeared on the surface of his entire body. At the same time, Lin Lei's body was repairing itself at an astonishing speed. In almost the blink of an eye, Lin Lei's broken bones and wounds were completely healed. Lin Lei's physical condition was better than ever before.

  "Ah~~~~"

  Lin Lei's soul was groaning, and when that white light entered Lin Lei's body, repairing Lin Lei's injuries was only a secondary effect. The primary target of this white light was Lin Lei's soul. This white light obviously wanted to merge with Lin Lei's soul.

  Once the power of faith merges with Lin Lei's soul, he will never be able to escape the restraints of the Lord of Light and will forever be loyal to him.

  Just then - a power of terror to the extreme, directly from Lin Lei's finger on the 'Panlong Ring' transmitted out, through Lin Lei's body directly rushed into Lin Lei's mind. That terrible power directly wrapped up this 'Faith Power', and finally swallowed it up and disappeared without a trace.

  Then, this terrifying power once again rapidly passed through Lin Lei's body and returned to the Panlong Ring.

  "Uncle De Lin, what's going on?" Lin Lei asked anxiously.

  "I don't know, it's the power of the Ring of Dragon itself, that power is too terrifying, too, too terrifying." Delingko Wort could only say "too terrifying" with tension. Delingko Wort had possessed the Ring of Dragon more than 5,000 years ago.

  But Dirk Kowert had no idea that the Dragon Ring contained such a terrifying energy within.

  Dellin Kowert was very certain that this energy would turn even ten Saint Domain peak experts into flying ash in an instant if it were to attack people.

  "This energy is inexplicable, and as the master of the Dragon Ring, I can't even sense it, let alone use it." Lin Lei also understood in his heart that this energy was not so easy to use. In the past, when Delin Kowert was alive, he wore the Dragon Ring for nearly a thousand years and still couldn't bring out that energy.

  At this time, everyone in the grand hall on the top floor of the Temple of Light was shocked. Pope Haidens of the Church of Light, eight ascetics, three cardinals, two vice judges, and six attendants all looked at this scene with incredulity. In their view, Lin Lei's body did not produce any aura of a "Chosen One", nor was there a mark of light on his forehead.

  "How is this possible? We failed?" Haiting stared blankly at Lin Lei.
