Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Chapter 11: The Descent of the Spirit Realm (2/2)

Lucius rose respectfully, bowed, and walked over to pick up a vase from a nearby table, memories of practicing with a vase as a weapon for years unexpectedly surfacing in his mind.

“What a miraculous ability, is this the true Extraordinary power?”

Beyond that, the Spiritual Power contained within his soul also received a modest guaranteed boost.

Lucius was tremendously excited, and Irene also took a deep breath.

She knelt devoutly before the black cross glowing inside the transparent bottle, immense admiration surging within her once again.

The Fischer family will forever be grateful to the great Lord of the Lost!

My Lord!

How magnificent!

Many people in the Claud World had collective dreams of a very unusual world.

It was a snowy woodland with towering forests that blocked out the sky completely. Looking around, the ground was covered with leaves turned to white ash.

The burnt-out ashes formed tall trees reaching dozens of meters high, blocking the vast expanse of pure white sky above.

There were no constellations or sun in the sky, nothing at all.

Those who intruded into this place took a long time to find their way out.

Upon waking, many felt an inexplicable intense fear.

The world behind that woodland seemed to be an unprecedented new realm, with that strange place holding immense dangers and opportunities alike.

The Extraordinary Exponents who dreamed of it felt an even stronger sensation, and countless individuals even perceived a black cross glowing in the deepest part of the sky, instinctively bowing their heads, not daring to look directly at It.

What exactly were those dreams and the things shown within them?

The people of the present world do not yet know.

In the very center of the Lorne Empire on the Ouden Continent, within the great cathedral of the Salvation Church.

An old man in a white robe knelt before the magnificent statue of the Light of Salvation, dozens of meters tall, with his eyes tightly shut and hands clasped together.

He had received an oracle from the Light of Salvation, seeing a prophecy about the future of the world.

The Pope saw a future where time, space, and physics were in chaos—tracts of land sinking one after another, everything collapsing and crumbling in the destructive Spirituality, heralding a complete end.

Endless lava and solid ice fell from the sky simultaneously, the brilliance of civilizations extinguished one by one, until the entire world was left with nothing but tranquility and silence.

In the end, he slowly opened his eyes.

“The end, the most crucial element for the end of the world has arrived.”

“It has taken on the form of the Lord of the Lost, and has already bred an exceedingly evil faith in the east of the Ouden Continent.”

The purple-robed bishop behind him looked towards His Holiness the Pope, waiting for his subsequent directive.

“Go, deliver a message to all the kings.”

The Pope’s voice was old yet firm, leaving no room for doubt.

“Any person on the continent, humans, sub-humans, or even foreign race—as long as they find heretics in the east who worship that Lord of the Lost and strangle the emerging evil in its cradle, can become a saint of the Salvation Church.”

“A saint?”

The bishop showed an incredulous look, hardly believing what he was hearing; the number of “saints” throughout the thousands of years of long history of the Salvation Church was incredibly few!

The Pope continued, “Yes, that person will receive a thread of Divine Power from the Light of Salvation!”

In that moment, the bishop thought the Pope had gone mad, deciding on such a measure; the Divine Power bestowed by the Light of Salvation could change the world’s structure, so precious it was!

Yet, the Pope took a deep breath as if he aged a dozen years in a moment and said:

“Any hesitation you show is an act of irreverence, and you should repent. Carry out my command immediately.”

His next words left the bishop stunned, his mind blank.

“You must understand that it is not a command from my heart, but an oracle directly issued by the Light of Salvation itself!”
