Under the gaze of thousands, the youth silently proceeded forward His posture see his emotions well, as he did not seehtly blew about his Orthodox Acade, but it was very clean, just like the feeling he gave to others

”This is Chen Changsheng?”

The crowd in front of the Palace of Great Brilliance buzzed with chatter and questions

Chen Changsheng had becoo Many people had heard of his naement, yet for many people, it was the first time they had laid eyes on him

It was only now that many people of the capital had a true iraceful and fine youngThirty-Six, not soave off a rather a ascended the stone steps, arriving in front of the palace, and turned to view the sea of people in the plaza

To his side was a square table of ebony, and placed on the table was a garland of thorns The sunlight spilled over the garland, causing it to exude a faint light

There was no gold or jade in this garland of thorns It looked very unrelories on the path of cultivation It had deep significance in the traditions of the Orthodoxy, and it also served as the emblem for the Grand Examination's first rank of the first banner

The Palace of Great Brilliance gradually fell quiet as the croaited thatin front of the palace gazed at the back of Chen Changsheng, as standing at the very front They each had different expressions—soardless of what they felt, they all could only wait for Chen Changsheng to obtain this weighty glory

Soe of rewarding the three people on the Grand Examination's first banner, had at soer in front of the palace Just who, then, would coht falling on the garland of thorns suddenly dispersed into countless strands They forht in front of the palace, a sphere of sacred, white light

Gasps of shock rose from the plaza of the Palace of Great Brilliance

The Sacred Light gradually faded and a tall figure slowly appeared

This was an elderly figure dressed in the Divine Robe, his head bearing the Divine Crown, staff in hand

Divine ust Qi enveloped the plaza

Countless cries of surprise rose up and then rapidly fell back into silence

Countless people prostrated on the ground towards the elder, everyone in the plaza lowering their heads like a tide

They were all paying respects to the Pope

The Pope who had rarely appeared before the common people in the past few years had unexpectedly coined this, and their shock was difficult to describe as they silently asked, why?

Was Chen Changsheng not a student of the Orthodox Academy? Didn't the Pope personally destroy the Orthodox Academy back then? Was the Orthodox Academy not the latest point of tension in the conflict between the new and conservative factions of the Orthodoxy?

Another elder besides the Pope appeared in front of the Palace of Great Brilliance: Archbishop Mei Lisha of the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education calmly accepted the staff from the Pope and retreated to the side

The Pope used both hands to raise the garland of thorns fro

Chen Changsheng was very much at a loss, mystified as to what he should do He subconsciously looked towards the archbishop on the side, and the archbishop ssheng and s to lower your head, how can you be crowned?”

These words were apparently speaking of the present situation, but they also see did not have tis He hurriedly bent his knee and lowered his head

The Pope placed the garland of thorns on his head, carefully adjusting it before finally feeling content ”I don't knohat the previous wearers ht, but I have always felt that these thorns are not that pleasant to the eye But on your head, they actually look rather spirited Not bad”

Chen Changsheng was still in a state of shock He could not co behind the Pope's words, but he could at least hear the Pope's praise

Not bad? Just how many youths could be called 'not bad' by the Pope? He had only ever heard of Mo Yu and Prince Chen Liu receiving this sort of evaluation; was it his turn now?

”Rise,” the Pope said

Chen Changsheng obediently rose He inadvertently raised his hand and felt the garland of thorns Only when the prickly touch of the thorns confirmed to him that all this was real did he finally cal his actions, the Pope s could clearly see the Pope's face

The Pope was an old man with an elderly face

It was a very ordinary face, itsthat his eyes were sunken very deep It was like an abyss, but it was nothing to be afraid of, as within was a blue ocean, azure skies, and sunlight
