Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 834:Stance Of Church Of Light

The two then settled down facing each other. After their previous exchange, both had gained a better understanding of one another's abilities. Gu Cheng sat calmly while Ethan seemed to be contemplating something.

Gu Cheng could perceive that Ethan wanted to ask him something, so he spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist, is there any matter you want to ask?"

"I want to seek your guidance about cultivation, discuss the Dao and see if it's possible to learn a few moves from you."

"You want to learn a few moves?"

"Yes!" Ethan nodded and spoke.

His body refinement had paused. Unless there was a gift from the System, it was hard to make another breakthrough. That was why he wanted to seek Gu Cheng's guidance in body refinement.

The previous sword exchange had also given him a brief glimpse of the Sword Path. Although it had only been a short exchange, Ethan had gained some insight into the difference between his swordsmanship and that of a cultivator.

He wanted to know more about sword moves and other techniques to see if he could refine and extend his strength. With Gu Cheng's experience and cultivation, there was no doubt that Ethan could learn something valuable from him.

"In that case, I, too, want to seek guidance about the way of Knights and Magic," Gu Cheng asked as he cupped his fist.

Ethan smiled and extended his arms before cupping his hands, copying Gu Cheng's gesture.

"Very well. Then let us teach one another."

The two looked at each other before bursting into good laughter. Their previous exchange had already established a certain understanding between them, and now they could openly discuss their respective paths without any hesitation.

They then began discussing the things they knew, with Ethan explaining the way of Knights and Magic while Gu Cheng shared his understanding of cultivation and the Dao. Neither held back their knowledge, and both listened carefully as the other spoke.

For the two, this was not merely an exchange of techniques, but also an opportunity to learn about an entirely different path of power.

Holy Chamber

A group of old men wearing neatly dressed white robes stood inside the Holy Chamber. A glamorous light shone across their bodies, and their presence filled the entire place with warmth. Each of them carried a dignified aura, and their calm expressions reflected the years of experience they had accumulated.

They were the Elders of the Church of Light. Their gazes shifted toward the man seated at the head of the chamber, who held a staff in his hand.

Beside him stood a golden-haired old woman with a gleeful expression. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and her gentle face carried a warm smile as she stared ahead at the centre of the chamber.

"Henna, my child. Have you carefully examined things?"

Her voice was soft and warm, yet it carried a hint of intimidation mixed with worry.

"This isn't an easy affair to manage. Something that involves another world, if not handled properly, may disrupt the balance of the world."

She eyed Henna curiously, with undisguised concern.

Henna was someone who would take her mantle in the future. As the Mother Saintess, she had always hoped that Henna would succeed her and lead the Church of Light. In such a situation, she didn't want things to go wrong and end up affecting Henna's future promotion.

Henna bowed her head slightly before explaining.

"Mother Saintess, the man is of good nature and harbours great goodwill towards us for freeing him from the clutches of soul imprisonment."

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"At present, he is staying at Blanks leisurely, spending his days there. Even if there was a chance to go to his world, he didn't dare to disrupt the space and order, which might have endangered this world."

Her words eased the tension in the chamber, and several Elders exchanged glances. However, everyone understood that this was only the situation for now.

The existence of a person from another world was not something they could simply ignore. Even if he had no ill intentions, there were still many unknowns surrounding him.

Henna then turned her gaze toward the man seated at the head of the chamber.

"What do you think about it, Your Holiness?"

Everyone turned towards the man at the centre.

The Pope of the Church of Light, Aurelian Solvane, sat quietly on his grand seat. His long white hair fell neatly over his shoulders, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles that reflected the passage of countless years. His eyes were a clear golden colour, and they carried a calmness that seemed to see through everything before him.

He wore a pure white papal robe embroidered with golden patterns, and a golden staff rested in his hand. A faint divine light surrounded his body, yet it did not feel oppressive. Instead, it carried a deep and sacred presence that made even the Elders stand with reverence.

As the Pope of the Church of Light, he stood at the pinnacle of the Church's authority. His strength had long since reached the highest realm known to the Church, and his connection with the Goddess of Light was far beyond that of an ordinary Saint.

He thought for a moment before speaking.

"Though he harbours no ill intentions, at the end, he is a being belonging to a different world."

His golden eyes swept across the chamber before he continued.

"Someone who might be able to live long enough might pose a certain risk to our world. Still, we can't just beat him and throw him out."

Everyone's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Even if Gu Cheng was from another world, he had not committed any crime against them. Moreover, he had already been subjected to years of imprisonment and experimentation. Simply driving him away would not solve the matter.

Henna raised her chin and asked, "So what should we do, Holy Father?"

The Pope gently tightened his grip on the staff and looked toward the sacred symbol of the Goddess of Light behind him.

"I will seek the guidance of the Goddess. After all, such a matter requires the intervention of the Divine."

The chamber fell silent as the Elders lowered their heads in respect. The matter involved another world, and even the Church of Light could not make such a decision carelessly.
