Chapter 70: Third-tier Sanctuary! The Angel’s Little Trouble and Great Transformation

Another morning arrived.

Lynn had not slept the entire night.

Not because he was too excited about ascending in rank—though, admittedly, that was something worth celebrating.

But rather, how should he put it…

Now that the town had more people, and most of them came with their families, well—

Men and women, after all, had certain natural needs.

When the night grew quiet and deep, some couldn’t help but… express their affection.

Yet Lynn’s divine sense, which expanded with the increase of Holy Radiance, had now reached nearly two thousand meters!

As a result—

Certain indescribable sounds and images were pouring uncontrollably into his divine perception—

As if in ultra-clear 4K with surround sound!

“Good heavens, what kind of cultivation is this supposed to be?!”

Lynn ranted furiously: “Are you trying to temper the divinity of your angel? Because it feels like you’re tempering my willpower instead!”

His consciousness might have been human,

But his body was a stone church!

Neither male nor female, neither man nor woman!

His reproductive instinct was practically zero.

He only retained the basic human emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and delight.

So when he heard those sounds,

His head buzzed, and he felt a mix of awkwardness and guilt he couldn’t describe.

“Ascend! I have to ascend right now!”

Lynn gnashed his teeth.

“The moment I improve my control over divine sense, the first thing I’m doing is enabling a ‘Filter Mode!’”

“Otherwise, at this rate, your angel is going to end up with divine burnout…”

…With the morning prayer concluded—

【Holy Radiance accumulation has reached the critical point…】

【Ascend now?】

“Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up already!”

Lynn didn’t hesitate for a second and made his choice instantly.

In the next moment—

BOOM!!!

The entire church trembled violently!

Dazzling golden light burst forth from its bricks, windows, and doors!

“By the Angel above! Everyone, look at the Sanctuary!”

Countless voices screamed in astonishment.

The old, cracked stone walls of the church began to heal.

Their surface gleamed with a metallic luster, flowing with sacred religious patterns and reliefs.

It was as if the body of steel had been plated with divinity!

Its hardness had greatly increased!

The once uneven stone floor was now replaced by a seamless marble surface, smooth as a mirror.

From the altar all the way to the front gate—

Flawless and immaculate, like a work of divine art.

Sunlight streamed through newly restored stained-glass windows,

And crimson-gold, sapphire-blue, and emerald-green light danced across the floor—

Turning the entire hall into a breathtaking, ethereal masterpiece.

It was beyond beautiful.

But the most astonishing thing—was the church’s interior space!

The once cramped hall, where people had been packed like sardines, began expanding outward at an incredible speed!

The simple wooden benches were silently transformed into rows of intricately carved rosewood pews.

Neat and uniform—there were now at least eight or nine hundred seats!

The capacity had more than tripled!

Only the Angel Statue remained unchanged—

Still shrouded in divine haze, carrying the ancient air of time itself.

As if saying: Small scene. Calm yourselves~~

Of course, the believers praying inside didn’t see it that way!

“Another… another impossible miracle!”

“The Angel’s divine might is truly unfathomable!~”

Marianne had already fallen to her knees with practiced ease, her entire body radiating fervent devotion.

As for the newcomers—they had gone completely mad!

Shouts, prayers, and the thudding of knees on the floor filled the hall in chaotic harmony.

Everyone turned toward the altar, voices rising from the depths of their hearts.

“Ah~ Praise the Angel! Your glory is eternal! Your power everlasting!!”

“The Sanctuary has expanded!”

“It’s so beautiful!”

“More sacred than any church I’ve ever seen!”

“This truly is a land bestowed by the Lord!!”

At the edge of the crowd,

Liz and Ulf exchanged a glance, equally overwhelmed with excitement.

While others were marveling at the spectacle, they understood what it truly meant!

“The Sanctuary… it’s growing on its own!”

Ulf’s voice trembled, filled with disbelief.

Liz nodded firmly, her eyes shining with certainty. “Not growing—ascending!”

“The Angel’s power has been restored by another level!”

“This is what’s truly worth celebrating!”

Her understanding matched Colin’s perfectly—

They both believed that their Angel had slept for countless millennia and lost much of His strength.

Only through the faith of His followers could He gradually recover.

Never would they have imagined that, in truth, it was the reverse—

Their Angel was becoming stronger because of their faith and existence!

Transforming from a false god into a true one!

Liz, ever the most devout, dropped to one knee, Durandal held before her.

“The Sword of the Sanctuary shall forever follow my Lord!”

Ulf and the older believers followed in unison, their voices thundering—

“We shall forever follow our Lord!”

…

As for their fervent zeal—

Lynn wasn’t in the mood to care right now.

He was busy checking his “divine notifications”!

【Divine Upgrade: Second-tier Sanctuary → Third-tier Sanctuary!】

【Divine Sense Range Expanded: 1 kilometer → 10 kilometers!】

【New Passive Gained: Holy Light Baptism (Eternal)】

【Holy Light Baptism: Each morning, believers who pray within the Sanctuary shall be gradually strengthened under the Holy Light, growing closer to the Light and faith itself, never to harbor betrayal in their hearts.】

“Holy—!”

Lynn almost did a backflip from excitement.

Ten kilometers of divine sense!

Now his range for—ahem, monitoring the safety of his believers—was completely maxed out!

But that wasn’t even the highlight.

【Holy Light Baptism】—this was an outrageous perpetual-motion passive skill!

First off—it was completely free!

A permanent, passive effect!

Second—it was utterly game-breaking!

It could automatically cultivate powerful and loyal believers in bulk—

A root-level function to strengthen Holy Light Town itself!

“This’ll save me so much Holy Radiance~”

“And no more need to pick a group of people every few weeks just to enhance them!”

Lynn was thoroughly satisfied.

He glanced over his renewed status panel:

【Lynn Church】

【Divine Grade: Third-tier Sanctuary】

【Divine Arts: Holy Protection Sigil, Divine Descent Incarnation, The Canon of Grace, The Gate of Heaven】

【Passive: Holy Light Baptism (Eternal)】

【Divine Artifact: Holy Sword Durandal (Projection)】

【Holy Beast: Unicorn (Third-tier)】

【Holy Radiance: 10886/∞】

Finally,

Lynn looked down at the sea of kneeling believers—

Especially a few young couples who had stayed up late the night before, now praying devoutly with dark circles under their eyes.

Suddenly, he thought—

Perhaps that divine sense filter function… wasn’t that urgent after all?

“…Forget it.”

He smiled helplessly.

“The warmth of mortal life… truly soothes an angel’s heart—”

“…”

Yeah, right!

He was absolutely going to research divine sense filtering—seriously this time!

By tonight, he swore, he’d have that screening feature perfected!
