Chapter 134：Maleficent

Once the power of light left the body, it would dissipate, even thousands of years ago, the most powerful light priests couldn't retract it. In the Ninth Heaven above, the God of Light saw this scene and couldn't help but be surprised. As far as he knew, in the entire continent and including the spirit world, whether it was humanity or gods, only he himself could do this.

He really is worthy of being my Little Believer.

He laughed pleasantly, but of course, he was also very concerned about the child's inexplicable temper, he pondered on it, then blamed it on the insidious Deputy Bishop.

It was certainly not the way of the Light God to let the Deputy Bishop be banned under heaven and earth in a superficial way. He decreed an oracle and ordered the whole continent to expel the blasphemer. So, the only place the Deputy Bishop could seek refuge was the Dark Abyss, the demons would certainly entertain him.

Zhou Yun Sheng's harvest today was quite fruitful. He didn't know how he compared to the protagonist in strength, but in Joshua's memory, the power of light could only hurt evil, and in order to wound, it must be constantly condensed into a solid. In the last thousand years, no light priest could cultivate to that extent.

So, when the protagonist used a condensed golden light to pierce through Joshua's shoulder, everyone worshiped him. There was no doubt that he was the most powerful light priest in the last thousand years.

Currently, Zhou Yun Sheng could easily re-create his trick, so it seemed that the gap between him and the protagonist was not large, enough for self-preservation.

This was all Brainless Sheng's blessing. Without his wholehearted devotion to the God of Light, Zhou Yun Sheng would not be so powerful.

Fine, we'll keep this going, everything is worth it! Zhou Yun Sheng clenched his fists, he was repeating the same cheer up speech to himself every day now. After giving himself a good psychological boost, he climbed out from the pool, dried his body and wrapped in a bathrobe, and was ready to go to bed when the door was knocked.

He opened the door barefoot and the Bishop walked in.

He met Joshua wearing only a thin bathrobe, water droplets flowing down from his hair, causing the fabric to become translucent. It clung tightly to Joshua's chest, sketching his slim and graceful figure vividly. His extravagant grace assaulted the senses.

The Bishop had no time to take in the view before his pupils started stinging. He choked and quickly said, "I came to tell you that the Father has lowered an oracle and expelled Colin from the continent. My child, your Father has given you justice, remember to thank him tomorrow." When his voice faded, the stinging sensation in his eyeballs disappeared.

The Bishop was astonished by the Father's strong possessiveness. For a mortal, isn't this pampering love too heavy? But he didn't dare dwell on this idea, he wished the boy a good night and left.

Zhou Yun Sheng didn't put this matter in his heart. Even without the Bishop's reminder, the fanboy would undoubtedly cling to the Light God's statue in gratefulness tomorrow, kneeling and licking its instep, all intelligence gone.

He rolled over and hugged his pillow for a moment, and drowsily thought as he fell into sleep: Why was the marble floor so hot today? Like a dragon breathed on it.

The Deputy Bishop had his light power reclaimed by the God of Light, this was undoubtedly bad news for the Sagya Kingdom. Their temple was now the weakest temple, when the dark war intensified, two light priests simply wouldn't be able to hold up the light circles and prevent the soldiers from being eroded by the demons, so the Sagya Kingdom had to ask other countries for help.

If they had to pay countless treasures and watch other countries carve up their land, the Sagya Kingdom would downgrade from a first-class power to a subsidiary country.

The King couldn't accept such a result, so he sat across from the Bishop with a depressed expression.

"You don't have to worry at all, Joshua is strong enough to support the entire Kingdom. He will be the most powerful light priest in the last thousand years." After being punished twice by the Light God, the Bishop had no doubt about Joshua's favor.

The King raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so sure? As far as I know, his qualifications are very common, and his strength is not outstanding."

After a momentarily pause, the Bishop said, "I can only tell you that he is very blessed by the Father. His hair, his eyes … …"

The hint was enough for the King to remember the legend, he looked surprised, then he silently nodded and said, "Well, I hope everything goes as you predict. But for insurance, I will immediately send troops to search for a child with the power of light. I always felt that the test at 3 years old is too late, I want to change the test age to one year, and the test will be taken every year until they're 18. I don't want to miss any potential children."

The Bishop nodded, "Your idea is very good. I agree, the Kingdom needs more light priests."

The Bishop was already very old, it was a chore for him to travel. Joshua was in the prime of youth, and the God of Light was watching out for him, they should let him out to exercise.

Thinking of this, the Bishop opened, "Let Joshua accompany the Second Prince."

"What did you say?" The King saw only the Bishop's mouth moving, but there was no sound.

The Bishop realized that this was the work of the Father's word ban. He understood not being able to talk about the Father's activities, but he couldn't even say such ordinary words? Did the Father not want to let Joshua leave the temple?

He speculated for a while and said the sentence once again, but no sound came out, he gave a helpless sigh, "Then let me accompany the Second Prince on his travels."

The King was also more confident about the Bishop's strength and experience, his age was not a problem, either way, they had carriages. He nodded and accepted the offer.

At the same time, Zhou Yun Sheng finished his cultivation in the trial pool, put on his robe, and walked silently to the outer hall. He looked around and made sure that there were no outsiders, then locked the temple door from the inside and walked up to the Father's statue with a wildly pounding heart. He clung to the statue's legs, burying his flushed hot face in its lap.

"Father, my mind is very chaotic. I don't want to do anything else but snuggle at your feet, and quietly feel your body temperature. I know this is wrong, but just this once, okay? Next time, I'll obediently kneel at your feet in prayer. You punished Colin because his wickedness tarnished the sacred vocation of the light priest, and he embraced the dark priesthood. But can I think of it as your love and affection for me?"

He smiled and gently rubbed the statue's knee with his cheeks.

The hot, gentle, and soft sensation transmitted to the Light God's body, the Light God stared at his knees, revealing a trance like expression. This feeling was so wonderful, much more wonderful than he had imagined countless times. He couldn't help but think more greedy thoughts: What if the real person was snuggled up to my feet?

He would hold him up and put him on his lap, press him into his broad chest, and never let him go back to the mortal world. But now was not the time, he was too timid, he had too much sensitive low self-esteem, he would definitely be frightened by him. And as long as he stayed with him, he would inevitably discover his other side. What kind of expression would he reveal at that time?

Surprise? Despair? Maybe even hatred?

His heart stung in sharp pain at that thought. The Light God frowned, unwilling to think further about it. When he came out of his depression and looked back, the Little Believer had fallen asleep on the statue's lap, his mouth curved in a sweet smile.

The Light God put his avatar in place of the statue and raised his hand to gently cover the Little Believer's head, his fingers smoothing his hair, rubbing him with affectionate eyes.

So be it, he could live like this for a while and quietly watch him grow up.

————–

Zhou Yun Sheng was brainless in the day, rational at night, he lived with this divided soul for two years. For those two years, because of the constant infusion and integration of divine power, his mortal flesh and blood had slowly turned into a body of a pure god. Of course, he wasn't aware of this.

As for the world's leading protagonist, he followed the Second Prince and the Bishop back to Gagor, after an audience with the King, he was walking toward the temple at an elegant pace.
