Chapter 954: Chapter 48: Baptism of God_3
Xuan Yue clenched her teeth, now she could no longer care about the behest of Prophet Pu Lin, and spoke to the Pope, "That’s because Prophet Pu Lin said, Ah Dai and I might be the Saviors who will save the continent."
Upon these words, the Pope, Xuan Ye, and Nasa were all stunned. Xuan Ye’s voice trembled slightly, "What did you say? The prophet of the Pu Yan clan said you are the Saviors? How is this possible, no, he must be guessing wildly." As a Red Bishop, he was very aware of the importance of the Savior to the Holy Church. The millennium catastrophe was approaching, and the Church was facing a severe test; it was very likely to lose its ruling position over the continent. And the one who could change all that was the new generation of Savior spoken of by God Feather before his demise. They had been searching for this Savior for many years.
Although the Pope was also uneasy, he was comparatively calmer and said in a deep voice, "Yue Yue, tell grandfather, why would Prophet Pu Lin say so? I know that the prophets of the Pu Yan clan possess some special abilities that even our Church does not have. Did he tell you something?"
Xuan Yue nodded and replied, "Grandfather, do you still remember your original speculation about the Savior? It was those few words."
The Pope spoke, "Originally, with the help of the Prayer Charm and the support of numerous priests, I had deduced the words: good, evil, dragon, phoenix, love. Is that what you are referring to?"
Xuan Yue nodded, "Yes! Prophet Pu Lin did the same, the difference is, although he did not possess your magical strength, he sacrificed thirty years of his life to obtain a more accurate divine guidance. The complete prophecy was: the union of goodness and evil, the unification of light and darkness, led by Phoenix’s Blood, passing through numerous barriers, bound by Dragon’s Blood, eternal love."
Hearing Xuan Yue’s words, the Pope could no longer stay seated; he abruptly stood up, turned around, facing the image of the Sky God, muttering, "The union of goodness and evil, the unification of light and darkness, led by Phoenix’s Blood, passing through numerous barriers, bound by Dragon’s Blood, eternal love. Yes, this must be the true guidance." He then turned back, grabbed Xuan Yue’s shoulders, and said, "Yue Yue, keep talking, what else did Prophet Pu Lin say? Do not miss a single word, tell me everything."
Xuan Yue, seeing the Pope’s anxious manner, began to regret a little, but at this moment, she had no choice but to speak, "It’s because of this guidance that Prophet Pu Lin said Ah Dai and I are the Saviors, Ah Dai being the main part of it. Think about it, the union of goodness and the Sword of Hades. And as for the light and darkness, Prophet Pu Lin said it represents me and Ah Dai; I practice the sacred Light Magic, and he wields the evil Sword of Hades. You all understand the last two lines without me explaining. That’s why Prophet Pu Lin gave the Dragon’s Blood to Ah Dai. Now, the Dragon’s Blood no longer belongs to our Church, you cannot use your power to forcibly take it!"
The Pope and Xuan Ye were extraordinarily stirred. They had not expected that the Savior, whom they had been searching for so many years, was right under their noses. The Pope pondered deeply, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "It seems that Prophet Pu Lin’s prediction is eighty percent accurate."
Xuan Yue joyfully said, "Grandfather, then you won’t send people to take the Dragon’s Blood from Ah Dai anymore. Originally, Prophet Pu Lin didn’t want me to tell you this, saying it’s better to let things take their natural course. But if I hadn’t spoken up, you might have harmed Ah Dai."
The Pope nodded slightly and instructed, "Xuan Ye, tell the Judgment Chief to dispatch four Holy Judges to protect this boy named Ah Dai. However, they must not act rashly unless absolutely necessary, understood? Let’s proceed as Yue Yue said, let things take their natural course."
Xuan Ye was also very regretful now. He understood very well what the Savior represented. Initially, the first Savior, God Feather, because he saved the continent, was respected by all and successfully established the Holy Church above any nation. If Ah Dai really was the Savior of this millennium catastrophe, as Xuan Yue suggested, he represented—God. And he had been opposing God, distancing the Church from divine guidance. What could happen from this, no one could predict, he had greatly underestimated Ah Dai. "Yes, Father, I’ll go right away."
Xuan Yue clearly relaxed a little, holding the Pope’s arm excitedly, "Grandfather, thank you. I’m relieved now." The highest position in the Holy Church Court of Judgement, naturally, can be occupied by the Judgment Chief, who is on par with the Red Bishop, followed by two Deputy Judges, then come the six Holy Judges. The power of the Holy Judges seems not inferior to those second-generation disciples of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, even compared to the three Chief and Deputy Judges, the difference is minimal. Of course, that’s just how Xuan Yue felt.
From the highest to the lowest, the positions in the Holy Church Court of Judgement are as follows: Judgment Chief, Deputy Judge, Holy Judge, Judge of Light, Golden Armored Judge, Silver Armored Judge, and Ordinary Judge. Given Xuan Ye’s status, when he went abroad, he should have been accompanied by the Judge of Light, but as the twelve Silver Armored Judges had almost grown up with him, always ensuring his safety, he always took them with him. Holy Judges directly obey the Pope’s command; even the Judgment Chief does not have the authority to use their power without the Pope’s directive. Although the Court and the priests are two separate systems, their highest authority is the Pope; the strength accumulated by the Holy Church over a thousand years is so profound that even a Red Bishop like Xuan Ye does not fully understand it, only the Pope could mobilize all this power.
