Chapter 73.1: Departure to the Homeland of Order (1)

Rayne and Hela spent an eventful month in the monastery.

Finally, the monks of Remembrance Pure Land sent Rayne a piece of good news.

"Your Highness Rayne, you have completed the first test of Remembrance Pure Land. In the past month of cultivation, you have perfectly maintained the purity of your heart. Now, your soul has returned to peace and the degeneration and decay have left you. You have passed the sacred test of the lake. We will now allow you to pay your respects to the divine being of Remembrance Pure Land, the giant of the lake."

Therefore...

After using another golden item to pay as a ticket, Rayne finally had a chance to meet the giant of the lake.

The summoning ritual of the lake giant was held that night.

The monks brought Rayne to the lake beside the monastery.

In reality, the monastery and those monks were just a bunch of mortals who were disturbing the place for no reason.

The lake was the true Remembrance Pure Land.

Here, the monks began the sacred ritual of summoning the divine being in the lake.

Under the bright moon, almost everyone in the monastery was mobilized. In the quiet night, they chanted a sacred true name softly and set up a sacrificial altar.

They prepared sacrifices and used a spell to transmit their voices to the bottom of the lake.

This was their method of communicating with the divine being at the bottom of the Lake of Remembrance.

In theory, as the divine being of the Lake of Remembrance, the lake giant was not someone that anybody could meet just because they wanted to.

However, Rayne was an exception.

As the prince of the Haines Empire, he had a noble and prominent status; he must have visited Remembrance Pure Land because he obtained some information that tempted him.

Therefore, the monks tacitly agreed that this benefactor must have brought an Imperial Guard to Remembrance Pure Land for the sake of the lake giant.

The reason was simple.

The lake giant had an extremely alluring ability, possessing endless wisdom, knowledge of history and insight into the future.

After a mortal passed the giant's test, the giant could answer any of his questions.

Without a doubt, that was exactly the reason why Prince Rayne was here.

Unfortunately, the monks were only half right.

Rayne was indeed here for the lake giant, but he did not have any questions for the giant.

The long ritual lasted for a full three hours.

Ripples finally appeared beneath the quiet lake.

Thereafter...

Thereafter, under the guidance of the giant, the Lake of Remembrance established a connection with Rayne and absorbed all the Nether Realm corruption on him instantly.

The dragon and blood eyes blessings were extinguished rapidly.

Both Nether Realm doors in the eyes of Rayne had been suppressed temporarily.

The lake giant continued.

"If you wish for me to answer your questions, you will first have to endure my test and drink the water of the Lake of Remembrance. With that, you can no longer hide any secrets from my eyes. If your soul can withstand my scrutiny, I shall answer three of your questions and tell you everything you want to know."

Rayne: "No problem."

Therefore...

On the quiet lake, a ball of water floated into Rayne's hands.

Rayne raised the lake water and drank it.

Rayne said, "Alright, prepare yourself mentally, Respite."

"Alright... hmm?"

The lake giant was stunned.

Did this person just... reveal his true name?

As Rayne drank the water from the Lake of Remembrance, the final ritual began.

Rayne established a connection with the mind of the lake giant and his soul was fully displayed in front of the lake giant.

Rayne's memories were continuously injected into the mind of the lake giant—this divine being of Remembrance began its scrutiny of this lost soul that yearned to be guided.

The monks by the lake watched the ritual nervously.

In fact, all the monks of Remembrance Pure Land had a good impression of Rayne—after all, this generous guest had paid way too much.

They wondered if this guest could withstand the test of the lake giant and fulfill his wish after he paid the price of two golden items.

A monk said to Hela, "Imperial Guard, His Highness Rayne will be under some pressure under the watch of the lake giant. It will cause him pain, but please don't be nervous. He will definitely not be hurt."

However, Hela ignored him.

Although Hela was already tamed by Rayne, she still had the same arrogant attitude towards mortals other than Rayne.

As she ignored the chatter of the ant beside her ear, Hela focused on admiring her lover's charming back view.

She had to take a few more glances at her beloved Highness Rayne now... because her vacation in the capital was about to end the day after tomorrow.

On the other side.

As the ritual began, as expected, a pig-like howl sounded from the center of the Lake of Remembrance.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

An old voice mumbled incoherently as it shrieked.
