“I’m not sure. Everything was fine before you came. I learned those two skills from the Bishop. But for now, I’ll take you to find other members of the Blazing Sun Sect.”
Ruo Li had already taken off her black robe, her silver hair looked exceptionally smooth, and her delicate face attracted the gaze of many indigenous people.
However, her status in the Blazing Sun Sect seemed a bit special; the gazes of those people contained undisguised reverence.
Mu Yang recalled Ruo Li’s talent and estimated that this was why she had gained a considerable position in the Blazing Sun Sect.
This space, opened with the divine power of the Blazing Sun, was vast, somewhat like a secret realm in cultivation novels. It not only had mountains and water but even a sun.
But there weren't many people living here, only the size of a small town. Many had succumbed to the Blood Sun’s erosion and fallen.
The followers of the Blazing Sun Sect rebuilt a simple church and a Blazing Sun statue within the space, but judging by its scale, it was more than a hundred times smaller than before.
“May the Blazing Sun protect you, Son of God who does not belong to this era.”
As soon as they stepped into the church, a beautiful woman wearing the same style of bishop's attire appeared out of nowhere.
“May the Blazing Sun protect you.”
Mu Yang didn't know what to say, so he could only respond with that phrase.
“This is Vienia, the Vice Bishop of the Radiant Sun Church. You can ask her any questions you have. What the Bishop knows, she also knows,” Ruo Li whispered, reminding him.
Vienia nodded at her words. She was determined to replace the Arch-Bishop.
Now that the Arch-Bishop was not here, she was the Arch-Bishop!
“I have heard the title ‘Blazing Sun Son of God’ from the Bishop, but why can you recognize me at a glance? What is the purpose of this Son of God? What is the status of a Blazing Sun Saint within the Sect?”
Seeing that someone could answer his questions, Mu Yang stated his doubts one by one.
“The reason I can recognize you is because of the aura of Blazing Sun divine power on you. Besides the Son of God, only the Pope and Blazing Sun Heroes can withstand the divine power of the Blazing Sun.”
“Before the disaster, the Son of God was the sole future leader of the Blazing Sun Sect. One might not appear in a thousand years. His power is connected to the Blazing Sun, possessing incredible might. ‘A thought changes heaven and earth, a rage desolates a thousand miles’ is the impression people have of the Son of God’s great power.”
Vienia paused for a moment, her gaze towards Mu Yang shifting from longing to regret, and continued, “But unfortunately, the Blazing Sun has now turned into the Blood Sun. We don’t know what connection there is between them, but the Blazing Sun indeed no longer responds to the prayers of its followers. This is why I said you shouldn’t belong to this era.”
“As for the third question, I think you must have seen that pseudo-saint outside who was corrupted by the Blood Sun, right?”
“Yes.”
Mu Yang nodded slightly. Not only had he seen it, but the Blazing Sun had also killed it, and the treasure chest was still on him.
“Saints are the most devout followers of the Sect. Legend has it that their souls enter the Divine Kingdom after death, achieving eternal life. But the saint you saw was not a true saint. It is rumored that he was supposed to be chosen as the Son of God, but the Blazing Sun did not choose him, and his fragile faith collapsed as a result.”
“After falling into the Blood Sun, its obsession became even more deeply rooted. If you were to appear before it now, it would probably chase and kill you relentlessly.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Mu Yang suddenly understood. No wonder that saint tried so desperately to kill him, muttering “Why” — it turned out he was jealous that he had become the Son of God.
But he didn't feel that the Son of God identity was of much use. Without the Blazing Sun to communicate with him, it was no different from an ordinary person.
“However, although the Son of God can no longer directly communicate with the Blazing Sun and borrow its divine power, you can still learn the spells of the Blazing Sun Sect. The Son of God’s cultivation speed has always been very fast.
I remember there is a legacy in the ruins of the church, a relic from the previous Son of God. But unfortunately, that pseudo-saint has been occupying it, and even the Arch-Bishop and I together are no match for it. But if you need it, we can hold it off, and then you can go find that relic.”
Vienia’s eyes revealed a resolute determination, seemingly willing to bear the risk of potential death for this.
“That’s right, if you want to, we can set off now.”
The Arch-Bishop, who had been playing the role of a contemplative, walked out from behind Mu Yang, placed his left hand on his shoulder, and said with equal determination.
“...Are all of you in the Blazing Sun Sect so elusive? You walk without making a sound.”
“This is a required course for members of the Sect. In order not to disturb the worshipers who are praying, our footsteps must be very light.”
The Arch-Bishop said with a serious expression.
“Why don’t I remember this required course?”
Vienia looked puzzled, seemingly confused but actually undermining him.
“I just added it. What’s it to you?!”
“Arch-Bishop, what great authority you wield! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Son of God! I propose that you immediately abdicate the position of Arch-Bishop to me!”
“Lloyd, I am the Bishop! I reject your proposal!”
“Vienia, you will regret this!”
The two bishops, one main and one vice, started an inexplicable argument. Ruo Li’s expression remained normal. She quietly closed the door with a “bang,” clearly indicating that they often had disputes.
“That pseudo-saint outside is already dead; you don’t need to hold it off. I want to cultivate Blazing Sun spells. Can the two of you teach me?”
After the two gradually quieted down, Mu Yang finally revealed the truth that the pseudo-saint was dead. He wasn't afraid of them taking the relic.
Because if they needed it, they would have taken it long ago. The fact that it remained there clearly meant it couldn't be taken away or touched.
“Son of God, if you wish to cultivate Blazing Sun spells, you must first swear an oath before the Blazing Sun to join the Blazing Sun Sect.”
“Alright.”
Under the witness of the Arch-Bishop, the Vice Bishop, and a host of Blazing Sun followers, Mu Yang swore an oath before the Blazing Sun statue to join the Blazing Sun Sect.
【You have joined the “Blazing Sun Sect”. Faction favorability has been activated. Current favorability: 0/10000 (Revered)】
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to get that relic. Non-Sons of God cannot touch it; forcibly touching it will only result in being burned or even killed by the Blazing Sun divine power hidden on its surface.”
Before leaving the statue space, the Arch-Bishop, like Ruo Li before him, put on a black robe of good quality and handed one to Mu Yang.
