Loss of Composure

Even so, none of them forgot the question that Modok had just blurted out, "Is the Freedom Temple good to Yun Xi?"

On the surface, everyone remained calm, but in their hearts, they were all secretly speculating about the deeper meaning and possible hidden secrets.

The suspicion that had been lingering in Fan Xiu's mind resurfaced, but the dense Light Rule emanating from Yun Xi didn't seem fake. Moreover, she had broken the bloodline restriction set by their main god and successfully learned the divine art of aura.

Thinking about this, he suppressed his doubts and did not want to discuss this matter in front of everyone.

Bai Luan, however, was very direct. He looked directly at Yun Xi and asked her, "Why does His Highness God of Light Divine Child possess such a strong power of the Freedom Rule?"

Yun Xi sighed softly; what was bound to happen would happen. Her identity was no secret to any of the Main God Successor, so there seemed to be no point in hiding it any longer.

"To be honest, I am the successor to the Statue of Goddess of Freedom." Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

In that instant of confusion, Fan Xiu found a reasonable explanation in his mind. No wonder Yun Xi's weak soul hadn't been devoured by the main soul; it turned out that this soul had grown strong and even accepted the inheritance of the Goddess of Freedom.

Fan Xiu's expression became complicated, his mind seemingly preoccupied with something. The others were also stunned by the news and couldn't quite process it.

With a speed visible to the naked eye, Bai Luan's indifferent expression vanished instantly, replaced by anxiety and inquiry. "Then do you know how Her Highness the Goddess is now?"

He stared intently at Yun Xi, his eyes filled with expectation and concern, as if Yun Xi's answer was the question he most urgently wanted to know at that moment.

Indeed, Bai Luan was not investigating whether Yun Xi's words were true or false; what he cared about most was the safety of Her Majesty the Statue of Goddess of Freedom.

His eyes were filled with worry and unease, and he leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to get good news about the Statue of Goddess of Freedom from Yun Xi immediately.

After staring at him for a few seconds, Yun Xi said in a heavy tone, "Her Highness the Goddess... has fallen."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luan's face turned deathly pale, and her body swayed involuntarily, as if she had suffered a tremendous blow.

Those around him also showed expressions of shock and grief.

Her Majesty the Statue of Goddess of Freedom had not appeared for thousands of years. Although Bai Luan had long prepared for the worst, he was still deeply saddened when this fate appeared before him.

The other members of the Freedom Temple behind him were the same; their eyes were red, and several girls even lowered their heads and sobbed silently. The entire Freedom Temple procession was shrouded in an atmosphere of sorrow.

Bai Luan struggled to control her emotions, her voice trembling as she asked, "Your Highness... how did you perish?"

When the discussion turned to the Goddess of Freedom, everyone else silently stepped back and avoided the topic. Only when Yun Xi and Bai Luan were left alone did Yun Xi slowly recount the whole story to him...

Yun Xi's voice was low and slow, as if each word carried a heavy weight. Bai Luan listened quietly, her hands unconsciously clenching, her body trembling slightly.

When Bai Luan heard that the Goddess of Freedom had been corrupted by Strange Item, her eyes became bloodshot.

His chest heaved violently, his teeth clenched so tightly that they clicked, and anger and pain churned within him.

"Damn you!" he couldn't help but roar, his voice filled with endless hatred.

At this moment, Bai Luan was no longer the indifferent person he had been at the beginning. When it came to Her Highness the Goddess of Freedom, he had lost his mind, and his eyes were full of murderous intent and gloom.

His breathing was rapid and heavy, and he seemed to Avatar into a ferocious beast about to go berserk.

Looking at Bai Luan like this, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

Then, his anger transformed into a deep sadness.

His body felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he slumped helplessly to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Yun Xi felt a pang of pity. It seemed that this High God of Freedom, Bai Luan, of the Freedom Temple must have had a rather close relationship with Her Highness the Goddess of Freedom.

Yun Xi sighed softly, stepped forward, squatted down, and said softly, "Please accept our condolences. All we can do is inherit the goddess's will and protect the Freedom Divine Realm."

After a moment, Bai Luan's emotions gradually calmed down. He stood up again and resumed his indifferent demeanor.

Then, he asked Yun Xi, "Your Highness, since that's the case, why didn't you choose the Freedom Divine Realm when you ascended to the God Realm?"

Yun Xi was slightly taken aback, then said, "As you can see, I cultivate not only the Freedom Rule, but also the Light Rule..."

Yun Xi looked at Bai Luan with an honest gaze.

Bai Luan frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully, "I see, no wonder..."

"Your Highness, are you truly the reincarnation of the God of Light Divine Child?" Bai Luan asked Yun Xi again.

Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't intend to tell him the truth. After all, this was the Temple of Light. It wouldn't matter if Bai Luan knew, but if Fan Xiu knew, wouldn't that undermine Lucius?

Yun Xi pursed her lips and said, "Bai Luan, there are some things that are not the right time to say now. You will understand them in time."

Bai Luan nodded in understanding.

But then, as if remembering something else, he asked Yun Xi, "Your Highness, I wonder about the goddess's divine status..."

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yun Xi naturally knew what he was talking about. She didn't hide it from him, but frankly told him, "The goddess's divine essence was devoured when I Becoming a God. This was also the goddess's intention, and Daka told me about it."

Bai Luan seemed to know Daka's identity as well, and at this moment he was completely convinced of Yun Xi's identity as the successor of the Goddess of Freedom.

To ensure that Bai Luan truly trusted her, Yun Xi took out the Divine Lord's Seal of the Freedom Temple.

The moment Bai Luan saw the Divine Lord's Seal, all his doubts vanished. He knew very well that if he wasn't the true successor acknowledged by Her Majesty the Goddess of Goddess of Freedom, he would be attacked the moment he took the Divine Lord's Seal.

At the same time, the power of the contract drawn to this divine artifact also made Bai Luan realize that this divine artifact could not possibly be fake.

Bai Luan's gaze hardened. He knew that from this moment on, he would follow Yun Xi and strive for the future of the Freedom Temple.

Bai Luan's gaze was fixed on the divine artifact that emitted a mysterious light, her eyes filled with awe and reverence.

He took a deep breath, then knelt on one knee before Yun Xi and solemnly said, "From now on, I am willing to obey Your Highness's orders."
