At that moment, everyone who witnessed the scene trembled, cloudy tears welling up in their eyes.
What a magnificent spirit he possessed! Anyone who thought about it would know that rekindling the Great Sun was not something that could be accomplished with a casual snap of the fingers. To prevent Eternal Night from descending, their Divine Chosen must have paid a price and endured hardships beyond an ordinary person's imagination.
And more importantly...
For an entire day, rumors slandering their Divine Chosen had spread everywhere. Some people had even openly called him a great demon who had infiltrated their Church.
What utter nonsense! An outrage to gods and men alike!
Had they ever seen a great demon stand by their side at a time like this? Had they ever seen a great demon rekindle the Great Sun and bring hope to the world once more?!
An image instantly surfaced in their minds: their Divine Chosen standing alone atop the High Tower, his expression resolute. Despite suffering grievous injuries, he still faced the extinguished Great Sun, desperately pouring all his strength into rekindling it.
They remembered that saying.
There was no such thing as a peaceful life; there were only people shouldering the burden for you.
"Divine Chosen!!"
At that moment, the surrounding Clerics and Exorcists dropped to their knees almost in unison, tears streaming down their faces. Like a ripple centered on Lin En, the wave of kneeling spread throughout the entire Street District.
"Please, no matter what, you must take care of yourself! We need you to lead us! The entire Church needs your leadership!! You must not fall!"
"Yes! Divine Chosen, you must look after your health!"
"If you would accept it, I would gladly give ten years of my life to extend yours by a single second!"
