Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 453: Chapter 182: Successfully Conquering the Saintess

David hung suspended in midair, his figure appearing particularly striking in the world of ice.

Though his appearance had transformed into that of a Barbarian, his eyes revealed deep wisdom and strength.

This sudden resonance of bloodline and soul left the Barbarian Race feeling both astonished and awed.

They began to speculate whether this being floating in the air was indeed their long-held faith, the Master of the Wilderness, the God of Barbarians.

David sensed the Barbarians’ doubt and anticipation, knowing it was time to reveal his identity and his connection with the Master of the Wilderness.

He slowly spoke, his voice carrying an irresistible power: "I am David, and I am also the successor to the Master of the Wilderness whom you worship.

"The power within me is connected to your bloodline, our souls resonate."

"From now on, I am your God, your power will be linked to me through sacrifice, and I will grant you strength and guidance."

David’s words echoed in the air, with each syllable deeply imprinting upon the hearts of the Barbarians.

They felt David’s sincerity and power, beginning to accept this truth.

Gradually, they knelt down, expressing their loyalty and respect to David.

In David’s Spiritual World, the Sacrificial Mark began to emit a warm glow, intertwining with the Barbarians’ Power of Faith, forming a powerful bond.

Through this bond, David could feel every believer’s faith and prayers, while the Barbarians could gain strength and protection from David.

David’s plan was a great success.

The Barbarian Race began to worship their new God of Barbarians.

He then began to use the Barbarian Race as an experiment, trying to gather the Power of Faith.

Moreover, changes to the Church could also begin.

...

On the Bright Continent.

The conflict between the theocracy represented by the Holy Light Church and the monarchy represented by the Royal Knight Order was growing more intense.

Whether god-given kingship or king-given theocracy should prevail, the conflict between the two was so sharp.

This also gradually led to the Bright Continent being divided into three parts.

Regions controlled by the Holy Light Church naturally adhered to king-given theocracy.

Meanwhile, kingdoms that joined the Royal Knight Order began to weaken the Church’s influence, implementing god-given kingship.

Another part remained unchanged, with theocracy and monarchy existing without interfering with each other.

However, with the emergence of the formidable Tier Nine Body Refining Mage Pengpa, the situation changed rapidly.

Pengpa was indeed too powerful, his strength was at the apex level on the Bright Continent.

Even when the Holy Light Church dispatched a Tier Eight Saint, Pengpa was able to defeat them in an extremely short time.

Pengpa’s appearance was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating waves upon waves.

His strength not only shocked the Holy Light Church but also put unprecedented pressure on those neutral kingdoms.

A Tier Nine Body Refining Mage, a nearly unmatched existence on the Bright Continent, his appearance undoubtedly disrupted the original balance of power.

Under Pengpa’s powerful intervention, the situation on the Bright Continent began to change subtly.

Regions that were originally neutral began to reassess their positions.

Some small kingdoms and duchies began to align with the Royal Knight Order in search of protection.

The Holy Light Church also realized the threat posed by Pengpa.

Some High-tier Holy Professionals began studying ancient rituals, hoping to summon more powerful Holy Spirits to oppose the Royal Knight Order.

The Silver Moon Saintess, residing in the core region of the Silver Moon Kingdom—the heart of the Royal Knight Order—was under significant pressure.

However, she also became increasingly confused.

She knew that Duke Frost Wolf held the Holy Scripture of Light and had the Pope’s acknowledgment.

Yet at the same time, Duke Frost Wolf was the head of the Royal Knight Order, a powerful Tier Eight Knight.

Moreover, under Duke Frost Wolf’s direction, the Royal Knight Order stood opposed to the Holy Light Church, vying for monarchy and theocracy.

It was under these circumstances.

A brand new Holy Light Sect suddenly emerged.

This newly emerged Holy Light Sect called itself the Dawn Sect.

The Dawn Sect rapidly rose on the Bright Continent, attracting many followers.

The core belief of this sect was light and rebirth, seeing the world in a twilight of old order with a new dawn on the horizon.

Followers of the Dawn Sect wore white robes, symbolizing purity and rebirth.

These followers often preached in public, spreading their faith and attracting many curious people seeking answers.

The leader of the Dawn Sect was none other than Duke Frost Wolf.

With the Holy Scripture of Light in hand, Duke Frost Wolf certainly had the credentials to establish a Holy Light Sect.

Duke Frost Wolf believed that the division and conflict on the Bright Continent stemmed from the split between theocracy and monarchy.

The doctrine of the Dawn Sect fused traditional religious elements with some new ideas, emphasizing that theocracy and monarchy were not oppositional but complementary.

They declared that by merging these two powers, a more just and harmonious social order could be established.

Only by combining the two could the continent truly achieve unity and strength, jointly fighting against the Demon Tide.

The teachings of the Dawn Sect quickly spread across the Bright Continent.

The Silver Moon Saintess felt concerned about the emergence of the Dawn Sect.

She was well aware of Duke Frost Wolf’s power and ambitions and knew the ever-deepening opposition between the Royal Knight Order and the Holy Light Church.
