Pope's Order and Imperial Protector's Order

Just as Wen Qing was still thinking about these matters, the door to his room was suddenly pushed open.

Hearing this, Wen Qing immediately hid the book recording the history of the First-Generation Angel God in his hands. He turned toward the doorway and called out:

"Who is it?"

After his voice fell, there was no reply. Wen Qing walked to the door and saw a man completely wrapped in a black robe, his face impossible to make out.

Seeing this, Wen Qing asked:

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man did not answer Wen Qing's question. Instead, he took out a token engraved with the image of a Six-Winged Angel.

This person was naturally Snake Lance, sent by Jin Hao. Snake Lance then said to Wen Qing:

"You recognize this token, don't you?"

Hearing that, Wen Qing looked at the token in Snake Lance's hand, and his eyes widened the next second.

The reason was simple. Wen Qing recognized it as a token from Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, one of the two tokens representing the greatest authority within Spirit Hall.

One was the Pope's Order, and the other was the Imperial Protector's Order. Both represented Spirit Hall's authority, but they differed in certain ways.

The Pope's Order bore the Martial Souls of the strongest or most influential forces and Titled Douluo of the current era on Douluo Continent. Moreover, not all Pope's Orders were held by Spirit Hall members; half of them had been given to the Upper Three Sects.

As a result, the Pope's Orders had to be replaced and remade every hundred years.

But the Imperial Protector's Order was different. There had always been only six Worship Hall tokens, and none had been remade from the time of the First-Generation Angel God until now.
