Chapter 72: The Test from the Dragon of Light

When they neared the core region of the church, even Leisha could not set foot there.

Lorne walked alone through the long corridor.

In the end, he arrived in an extremely huge hall.

What appeared before him was a huge hall with a radius of several hundred meters.

It was like a square.

There was nothing around them, only white stone pillars and pale golden flowers.

As he surveyed his surroundings, the space in the hall suddenly distorted, and then a grand light shone. In the gentle light, countless holy light feathers fell. Then, huge holy dragon wings flapped, and an incomparably huge dragon descended in the hall.

“Young adventurer, your growth is much faster than I imagined.”

The Dragon of Light looked at Lorne with its golden eyes and said solemnly, “However, this is not enough to control the power of the Divine Radiance.”

“Please enlighten me, Dragon God.” Lorne said respectfully.

Although he was invincible among the players, in front of this Dragon of Light, such a level was nothing to be proud of.

The Dragon of Light looked at him in satisfaction and asked, “Young man, do you know the true origin of the Divine Radiance?”

Where did the Divine Radiance come from?

Lorne was just a new player who had just entered the game. How could he know the origins of such a high-level power?

As such, he shook his head.

“The Divine Radiance is the origin power left behind by the Divine Dragon of Order before it sacrifices itself.”

“If we can master all its energy, it will be equivalent to possessing the supreme power of the Divine Dragon of Order.”

“However, after countless years, this power of origin gradually dissipated, and it was shattered one after another by huge battles, causing this power to gradually lose its original divine power.”

“Fortunately, the first Dragon of Light figured out a way to preserve the Divine Radiance and gradually nourish it.”

“That is to use faith!”

“The power of faith produced by the billions of creatures of the Order faction is the best nourishment for the Divine Radiance. It can maintain the Divine Radiance for countless years and even make up for a portion of its deficiency.”

“This is also the reason why the Church of Light was born.”

“Today, the Divine Radiance has gradually grown stronger, but unfortunately, in this day and age, no one can control this power anymore.”

“The Dragon of Light has always been the one with the greatest hope of controlling it, but over the years, no one has really done this.”

“Therefore, I have to look for other users.”

The Dragon of Light explained the situation.

Finally, its gaze refocused on Lorne, and it asked him in an authoritative voice, “Young adventurer, are you willing to accept this challenge?”

As soon as he finished speaking, at the same time, a warning system notification sounded.

Ding!

“Game Announcement: Your answer will affect the Dragon of Light’s opinion of you. Please answer cautiously.”

This was a multiple choice question?

That was not right.

This should be a freebie question.

Any normal gamer should know what to choose.

From the Dragon of Light’s words, it was obvious that he wanted to pass on the most, most, most powerful strength in the world to him.

How could he refuse such a good thing?

Lorne answered decisively, “I will master the Divine Radiance and purify the entire Divine Realm!”

Forget about the difficulty for now, he had to make his stand clear on such a matter.

Only then could he obtain the most rewards.

“Young man, you did not disappoint me. Although you are very weak now, you have a fearless heart. In that case, I will issue you the most difficult mission. I hope you can withstand my test.”

The Dragon of Light looked at Lorne in relief.

The next second, the system’s voice sounded again.

Ding!

“Congratulations! The Dragon of Light appreciates your attitude. You have received a gift from the Dragon of Light: Dragon of Light’s affinity+10, Dragon Race of Order Reputation+100.”

“Congratulations! Your epic mission [Divine Radiance – Prelude] has been completed. Reward: Reputation+100,000, Dragon Race of Order Reputation+100.”

“Congratulations! Your epic mission [Divine Radiance (1)] has begun!”

A series of notifications appeared.

The reward excited Lorne.

In just a short while, his reputation with the Dragon Race of Order increased by 200 points!

Not only that, but he also gained 100,000 reputation points.

Of course, most importantly, it was the Dragon of Light’s affinity.

It was one of the most powerful existences in the world.

With its good impression, he would definitely have a chance to come into contact with more high-level missions in the future.

Other than these rewards, the Divine Radiance mission that Lorne had also changed.

[Divine Radiance (1)]

Quality: Epic

Content: The Dragon of Light, Hamut, believes that you have the potential to inherit the Divine Radiance, so he has decided to give you the most stringent test. You must go to the ruins of the war to search for the dragon souls and bring back five [Dragon Souls] to the Dragon of Light. The more dragon souls you bring back, the more generous the reward will be.

War ruins?

Dragon soul?

This seemed to be another difficult task.

Lorne had a very clear feeling.

At this moment, the Dragon of Light also began to narrate.

“It was a huge mountain range. It was originally the best place, but in the war a thousand years ago, it was covered by the flames of war between order and chaos and became a lifeless forest.”

“Almost all races gathered together, including humans, elves, orcs, giants, dragons, abyssal demons, undead, and abyssal lords. They began an intense war that lasted for several years.”

“The warriors of the Order faction used their lives to defend the peace of the Empire. Their blood has stained the entire mountain range, and their bones have propped up the towering mountains. They have brought peace and stability to us.”

“But unfortunately, countless demons and undead from the abyss died there. Their bodies were the source of the chaos. Dark blood corroded the mountain range, and the aura of the undead covered the entire forest. The souls of the dead soldiers were also imprisoned in the ruins.”

“They were once the most glorious warriors of the Empire. I hope that they can rest in peace in their homeland, so I hope that you can bring back the souls of some dragons and let them be free under the holy light to be reincarnated.”
