Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 866: Chapter 388: Inheriting the Divine Spirit’s Legacy Again (2)

It is the embodiment of light and wisdom, lovingly and majestically overlooking David: "Young man, you once chose courage and freedom, this belief will make you the new guide."

"I will remember it in my heart!" David responded firmly.

He felt a warmth washing over his soul, as old knowledge and wisdom gradually merged into his consciousness.

He could clearly see all the possibilities of the future, whether hope or darkness, all flowing in the sea of his heart.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lucia was also surrounded by radiance.

She felt the Holy Light Origin surge into her body like a tide, every inch of her skin filled with warmth.

The sensation was like rebirth, and she closed her eyes, wholeheartedly accepting this baptism.

A silvery stream of light streaked across the sky, surrounding Lucia, and she felt herself being purified and elevated, all the pain and struggles of the past dissipating with this force.

In that moment, she became stronger, purer, and her innate sense of mission began to awaken.

Just as the transformations of both were about to complete, a tremor again swept across the Holy Mountain, as if the entire world was cheering for their rebirth.

And when they walked out of the vortex center, the Earth was renewed.

From the ruins of collapse rose the light of hope, countless deceased guiding the lost toward a new future.

Sunlight spread across the Earth, and the wind blew through every corner, allowing everyone to feel the impending change.

As David and Lucia finished their trials and received the heritage of the Divine Spirit and the baptism of Holy Light, the surrounding space seemed to become unstable.

The core of the Holy Mountain behind them shook violently, light and shadow interweaving like a vortex, as if the entire world was trembling for their rebirth.

With a strong tremor, they felt an attraction pushing them outward.

The two began to run toward the center of the light vortex, where the energy was strongest, seemingly guiding them to the exit.

As they gradually approached, a gate shining with golden light appeared in front of them, it was the path to rebirth outside.

Complex and mysterious runes emerged on the gate, flowing with ancient and powerful energy.

She reached out her hand to the gate, gently touching it, and a gentle yet firm force instantly penetrated her entire body, a sensation like returning home, reassuring her.

Accompanied by a deep and harmonious hum, the gate slowly opened, endless light spilling down, enveloping the two.

In that dazzling light, they experienced a liberating rebirth.

As the light gradually faded, they finally walked out of the Holy Mountain space set by the Pope, returning to the Crystal Altar of the Bright Continent.

Afterwards, they entered the secret chamber beneath the altar.

Lucia activated the Saintess’ authority, the statue slowly moved, revealing a secret passage to the underground palace.

They passed through the shadow corridor, arriving at the core area of the underground palace—a gigantic Crystal Altar.

Around the Crystal Altar, seven sacred skeletons lay in slumber.

Their neural cords connected with the neural network of the walls, forming a perpetual consciousness transmission system.

David studied these skeletons and neural network carefully, finding an astonishing similarity to the Church’s method of gathering the Power of Faith from believers.

"It seems the Church is indeed using the network of believers to stabilize the Divine Base." David said solemnly, "These sacred skeletons might have been chosen as sacrifices by the First Pope for his experiments."

At that moment, the Crystal Altar suddenly emitted dazzling light, the fragments of the Pope’s remaining consciousness were activated.

Those streams of light gathered into continuously collapsing humanoid light spheres, each photon vibrating with forbidden knowledge about the divine format experiment.

David and Lucia focused entirely on receiving this information, gradually uncovering the truth of the First Pope’s plan to become a deity.

As it turns out, he attempted to gradually replace human bioelectricity through the Transcendence Ceremony, eventually transforming into an energy state lifeform.

The anchor network formed by the network of believers and sacred skeletons was the key to solidifying the divine format.

However, his plan did not succeed.

In the holographic records, David and Lucia saw the truth of the First Pope’s coronation.

When the triple crown touched his head, the life force of the seven Cardinals instantly withered, their souls forged into the first divine format base.

But at that moment, an unknown force suddenly emerged, disrupting the Pope’s path to divinity.

"It seems that becoming a deity is no easy task." David lamented, "Even though the First Pope had such a meticulous plan, he ultimately failed."

Lucia nodded, her eyes flickering with complex emotions.

Perhaps it was also because of this failure that drove the Pope to madness, leading him to do such things?

David’s thoughts wandered through turbulent memories, he focused his gaze on the crystal altar and its flashing patterns, attempting to find more clues.

He murmured: "If the First Pope’s plan failed, he would certainly try to regain control over everything, even possibly attempting to utilize the Power of Faith to achieve his goals."

Lucia nodded.

David continued to study the Crystal Altar, trying to decipher those complex and mysterious runes.

He discovered that some runes were very different from what they had seen before at the vortex center.

Those runes emitted a dim glow distinct from other information flows, seemingly hiding unspeakable secrets.

"These runes... seem to be about how to reshape the divine format and reconnect the life force." David grasped the revelation.

"Do you understand?" Lucia asked, sensing the energy in the air begin to fluctuate slightly.

"I think I understand part of it." David replied: "The information is not just about the path to divinity..."

At that moment, the Crystal Altar emitted waves of warm and gentle light, a strong yet ancient intent flowed into the minds of both.

David stood in front of the Crystal Altar, his thoughts surging like tides.

He realized that the Church’s foundation of faith was built on a distorted power structure, making countless believers sacrifices to the Pope’s personal desires.

Consuming believers’ souls to condense divine format, this approach not only deprived the innocent of their lives but was also a desecration of true faith.

"The Church has lost its way." He muttered to himself, his voice full of anger and reluctance.

"They should have joined the believers in becoming divine, not treating them as tools to fulfill personal desires."

Lucia held his hand tightly, sensing the emotions surging within him.

"Do you understand what this means? If we are to change all of this, we must find a new way to unite these souls, allowing them to regain control of their destinies."

She looked at the gradually awakening skeletons around them, hoping to find a breakthrough.

"Indeed," David nodded, "We need to convey a message to those who have been oppressed and consumed: true divine format is not owned by a single entity, but forged collectively by everyone brave enough to pursue truth and freedom. Only when every soul is respected and free can they truly achieve greatness."

As David’s words fell, the souls within those revived skeletons began to emit warm and gentle light.

They gradually realized the importance of themselves as individuals, not just silent acceptors of destiny, but began to yearn to resist bondage and pursue their true selves.

"We will redefine faith," Lucia said encouragingly, "letting everyone participate, making them aware that they’re not just pawns in the game, but true masters of their own destinies."

With her words, those souls sealed and oppressed for years awakened one by one.

David and Lucia felt an increasingly powerful energy flowing out from the Crystal Altar, a resonance from deep within their hearts.

It connected all the resurrected together, each soul became a part of this newfound power, they collectively converged a great light of justice!
