Nasha sighed lightly and said, "That’s just your dad’s and my opinion, not yours. You’re my only daughter, how could I not understand what you’re thinking? Don’t overthink things. Sometimes, marrying someone who loves you can make you a lot happier than marrying someone you love. I know you can’t forget about Ah Dai, but the matter is already settled and it’s impossible to change it now. You’re the acting Red Robe Priest of the church, symbolizing the sanctity of the church. Since you’ve decided to marry Ba Bu Yi, after you’re married, you need to be a good wife, understand?"
Xuan Yue’s face suddenly turned extremely pale. She’d never thought about how she was supposed to be a wife to Ba Bu Yi. Hearing her mother’s words, her heart ached intensely.
Seeing that her daughter hadn’t responded, Nasha knew Yue Yue wasn’t feeling well. She helped Yue touch up her blue hair, and said, "Alright, dear, take some time to calm down. When the wedding begins, your mom will come pick you up herself. She’ll take my daughter to her husband and tell you to forget all about the past, and use your heart to accept Ba Bu Yi. He’ll definitely be a good husband, just like your father. Oh, and you should put away the jade ring you’re wearing. As the bride, you can only wear the wedding ring Ba Bu Yi gave to you." After speaking, Nasha turned around and left her daughter’s room. She adjusted her White Sacred Robe, left the house, and started preparing for the wedding. Xuan Yue was left alone in the room, with a sorrowful expression and a blank look in her eyes.
The sun gradually rose, making its way towards the center of the sky. The Divine Mountain of the church suddenly sounded with a deep horn, "Ooo——, Ooo——, Ooo——"
In front of the Temple of Light, twenty Judges on each side held their gigantic horns high and signaled the beginning of the wedding. Thousands of Judges were arranged in a gigantic semi-circle under the leadership of the two deputy chiefs. Behind them were high-level priests from various regions. According to prior arrangements, the priests simultaneously began to chant their Prayer Charms in a sacred tone. The sound continuously echoed atop the Divine Mountain. These priests were all at least the presiding officers of a city’s Sacrifice Hall, numbering in the thousands. Leading them were the Red Robe Priests Mang Siu, Yu Jian, and six White Robes Priests, excluding Xuan Ye and Nasha. Within the sacred chanting, a pale golden wave of energy formed over the entire Divine Mountain, and the people felt a profound sense of reverence.
At the outskirts of the Divine Mountain, the ordinary priests began to chant the same spells as the high-level priests. Their chanting drew the believers outside the Divine Mountain, who were held back by the Holy Knights, into chanting along. They were all joining in a sacred prayer, not only extending congratulations to the soon-to-be-wed Red Robe Priest and Judge of Light, but also pleading for blessings from the Sky God. As the golden flow of energy from inside the mountain enveloped the believers, they all felt a clear sense of tranquility and strength in their hearts. Feeling this seemingly divine blessing, the believers became even more devoted in their chant.
The honored guests of the church, who were from three different empires and the Federation, all gathered early in front of the Temple of Light. Seeing this grand celebration held by the church, which hadn’t occurred in many decades, and hearing the powerful and solemn chant, they all experienced a sense of devotion.
After Mang Siu and Yu Jian finished chanting the Prayer Charm for the third time, they raised their hands simultaneously. The high-level priests of the church stopped their chant, and Mang Siu advanced a few steps before pressing one hand to his chest and touching his third eye with the index, middle, and ring fingers of the other hand. "Blessings of the Sky God, divine protection for all humanity." A golden light suddenly burst forth from him as the center point. Mang Siu spread his arms, and the ground in front of the Temple of Light started shaking violently. However, none of the Judges and priests showed surprise, they all watched Mang Siu, now enveloped in the golden light, with reverence.
Larthas stood beside Xi Wen, and they seemed like old friends. "Brother Xi Wen, look, this priest Mang Siu definitely has the skills of a master Mage. His Magic Level must be at least as high as mine. The church really is a place full of hidden talents! If all these thousands of high-level priests joined forces, even all the magicians from our two Guilds combined wouldn’t be able to take them on."
Xi Wen smiled lightly, and said, "After all, the church is the highest ruling power on the continent. How could they not have powerful forces? Otherwise, how could they get the three major empires and the Federation to willingly submit to them? Look, what Magic is priest Mang Siu using now? What’s his intention? This golden light is truly sacred!"
Larthas responded, "I’m not exactly sure what he’s doing. It seems like he’s not using Magic, but rather releasing his Magic Power. Perhaps he’s activating some sort of mechanism. We’ll see. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a wedding this grand."
Zhou Wen, who was standing nearby, said, "This Pope of the church is really pompous. We brought so many people, and he hasn’t even shown his face yet. And yet, he says he wants to ally with our Tian Gang Sword Sect. He hasn’t shown any sincerity."
Xi Wen glared at him and said in a low voice, "Don’t talk so much. Nobody will think you’re mute if you don’t say anything."
