Pilgrimage

How glorious and magnificent it was!

Lan Nuo saw him as if he were seeing the very light, the Holiness source, the embodiment of all justice and Radiance.

and.

And the one he had always imagined in his heart.

Lord of Heaven is not like a kind and gentle elder, Supreme and Radiance Lord, who embraces all things with his heart and washes away all sins with his Radiance.

He must be kind and gentle.

But this fleeting glimpse today...

It allowed him to see a true Lord of Heaven.

He is an incomparably handsome Monarch, a Divine Might majestic Emperor, and an invincible and domineering war god.

He calmly leaned on his longsword, sitting on his glorious Throne, his eyes looking down with confidence, standing shoulder to shoulder with the ten enormous Monarch of the Defiled World sitting on their dark Throne outside the Supreme Firmament, showing no sign of being inferior.

Lan Nuo glanced at those ten dark and malevolent beings and felt utterly powerless against them, his head spinning, a deep malice assaulting his heart.

But with Him present, the Heaven's Will the ten directions and the oppressive malice of the Defiled World emanating from the King of the Defiled World were kept out.

His inextinguishable fighting spirit ignited the Supreme Firmament and the earth, and also ignited the morale of countless Angel and Holiness Warrior of all races on the Great Wall.

Just seeing him ignited a fighting spirit within Lan Nuo.

"As long as my lord lives, I will fight to the death!"

"So this is the Lord of Heaven we've always revered and worshipped; He truly has been on the front lines of this Defiled World's war!"

"For countless years, I have never left!"

At this very moment.

A strange emotion welled up inside me.

then.

Right in front of this magnificent Great Wall.

He couldn't help but kneel down, just like the Ascendant around him, and knelt devoutly before that holy figure.

"How can mortals possibly behold the majesty and Glory of our Lord!"

"Your will is the direction our swords point, your glory is the hope that guides us!"

They were in tears.

"Pilgrimage! Pilgrimage!"

"Today I finally have the honor of catching a glimpse of His Majesty's face; I am overjoy

Beside.

The Angel leading this group of Ascendant were used to their actions and did not interrupt them.

Instead, we wait patiently.

Because these Ascendant like Lan Nuo mostly came from mortal realms that had already established Holiness Order and spread the Lord of Heaven faith.

When they were born, the world was already singing praises of the Lord's Glory and mercy.

It can be said that they grew up bathed in Glory.

However, since the faith was not sown by the Lord himself, the spreading of Glory and faith was the work of His Angel.

Although mortals have seen the statue of Lord of Heaven Yuliel, they have never seen the real person.

Statues and real people are two different concepts.

The feeling of a deity comes from the acceptance of faith by ordinary people.

Therefore, the image of God gives ordinary people the feeling of what they perceive as benevolence, tolerance, kindness, and gentleness.

His most important image is that of a loving father!

These impressions came from the stories of Lord of Heaven told by Angel Angel, most of which were compiled by Lucifer, including the Sacred Scripture, the Chronicles of Paradise Mountain, and the Origin Myth of Angel.

The image of a benevolent father stems from the interactions between Jesus and Angel like Lucifer in these Myth, leading mortals to perceive Jesus as a benevolent father.

He loves His daughter, He loves His people, He loves His Warrior.

This is how mortals perceive Lord of Heaven, and it determines their faith.

only.

The great Lord needs no faith.

Therefore, such faith acts upon the idol, giving it Divinity.

However, since the source is Transcendence One like Jiang Yuu, these Divinity are just that —Divinity.

Moreover, those who exploit Divinity are all earthly Church of Radiance, and have nothing to do with the Lord.

However, Lord of Heaven allowed them to use it.

After bowing reverently on the earth bathed in golden sunlight

Lan Nuo stood up, this time.

His gaze hardened considerably, and he gripped the Knight's sword even tighter.

His companions also stood up one by one, their expressions and postures similar to his.

Seeing that they were all almost ready, the Angel captain who was leading the team finally spoke.

"Let's go, ahead lies the Defiled World, the Great Wall defense line."

"I will lead you to your respective legions and chapters."

Like Lan Nuo.

Many of the Ascendant present chose to join the warband of a particular Angel.

Because their hometowns were almost all redeemed and restored to order by that Angel.

Rather than being incorporated into a unified Ascendant Legion, they preferred to join the ranks of the Angel who had redeemed their world.

This is the most basic respect and trust.

The leading Angel carried them into the air and flew towards the city wall.

The Great Wall is incredibly tall, even taller than the highest mountain in the world.

This is the Great Wall, comparable in size and height to a planet.

However, as powerhouses at the Twelve-Winged Star Saint Grade, they were very fast.

Not long after.

They flew over the area covered by the Great Wall and arrived at a section of the wall that seemed to be interwoven with Radiance and darkness.

Although it's said to be on the city wall, in everyone's eyes it's no different from a continent.

Numerous buildings were constructed on the city walls, including towers, palaces, drill grounds, pastures, alchemy workshops, transportation hubs, ports for Sky City, and even city-like military outposts for various legions.

For example, their current location is a recruitment center comparable to a city.

The area atop the city walls was practically a world unto itself.

And at the end of the continent on this city wall lies an endless, murky, and gloomy Defiled World.

There were towering towers stretching as far as the eye could see, and defensive weapons.

Countless Radiance figures unleashed their power at the edge of the city walls, attacking and slaying the Defiled World enemies that surged in from the darkness.

The deafening shouts of battle were incessant.

But no place in this Defiled World has ever been able to break through the defenses of the Radiance.

But in Lan Nuo's senses.

Let him step onto the city wall.

It was as if I had suddenly moved from the Land of Radiance to the edge of Radiance.

The interplay of light and shadow here, filled with the atmosphere of war, is completely different from the scene of the City of Ascension behind.

Beneath His feet lies the Radiance, walled earth, and looking up He can still see the radiant and majestic figure of Lord of Heaven and the Golden Sun in the sky. This is also the manifestation of a Emperor as great as Lord of Heaven.

During his years of training, Lan Nuo learned His story: He and His people died in battle, but after His death He transformed into the sun to protect all people.

And at the end of His sight.

First, there are ten enormous and eerie Throne hanging high above the Supreme Firmament. On these Throne are ten blurry figures whose faces are indistinct, like ten black suns that could fall at any moment and crash down on this magnificent Great Wall.

Then came endless darkness and grayness.

Before the Great Wall, they were like Radiance and darkness separated by only a thin line.

Countless gray shadows tried to emerge from the darkness and haze, but were blocked from the Radiance.

Lan Nuo knew that these were the enemies they were about to face.
