Chapter 209: Chapter 207: The Heartfelt Thoughts of Saintess Sofia of the Bright Holy Sect in the Central Holy Domain!

Outside the Holy Light Cathedral of Holy Cross Academy, Lin Tianming visited alone.

At this time, most of the students from Holy Cross Academy were in training, so there weren’t many people in the Holy Light Cathedral.

Although Lin Tianming was not a believer, as the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." He too casually worshipped the statue of the deity on the central altar for less than a second, before finding a spot to sit down.

On the stage, a priest of the Holy Light Cathedral was counseling those seeking inner peace.

Even though he was non-believer, Lin Tianming was nevertheless curious to hear what was being said since he was visiting.

The Holy Light Sect of the Xiluo Domain and the Bright Holy Sect of the Central Holy Domain worshipped the same deity, known as the Light God.

But after endless ages, this deity was considered to be fictional by most people around the world, with only the faithful believing in its existence.

Rather than believing in the existence of a Light God, it would be more plausible to believe that Divine Realm Demons are gods.

In a certain sense, a Divine Realm Demon that transcends the realm of Mortals could also be considered a god, even though not recognized by humans.

While Lin Tianming curiously observed the people and objects within the Holy Light Cathedral, a beautiful woman wearing a Holy Robe and radiating the aura of Light, as if the Light Goddess herself had descended to earth, caught his eye.

The beautiful woman, who had the air of the Light Goddess descending to the Mortal World, did not look like a person from the Xiluo Domain.

But she didn’t resemble the Jiuzhou people either, and looked more like the people of the Central Holy Domain whom Lin Tianming had previously encountered at Lava Demon Mountain.

Noticing Lin Tianming’s gaze, the beautiful woman, appearing like the Light Goddess in human form, flashed a faint smile at Lin Tianming.

"Do you also believe, my friend?"

"I am not a believer, I’m just curious and came in to take a look."

Despite Lin Tianming not being a believer, the woman did not get angry and maintained her holy smile.

"Although I’ve never been to Jiuzhou, I have heard that most Jiuzhou people are non-believers. May I sit here?"

Lin Tianming didn’t mind the holy woman sitting next to him.

"Sure, you are not from the Xiluo Domain, are you?"

"Mm, I am from the people of the Central Holy Domain. I was invited to visit and study at Holy Cross Academy and decided to come see the Holy Light Cathedral while I’m here."

Indeed, as he had guessed, the woman’s features were distinctly those of the Central Holy Domain people.

Through her words, Lin Tianming learnt that she too was invited to visit Holy Cross Academy, and was curious about her specific identity.

"May I boldly ask, since you were invited to visit Holy Cross Academy, does that mean you are a student from some High-level Awakened Academy in the Central Holy Domain?"

The woman nodded, "Yes, I am a first-year student from the Bright Academy in the Holy City of the Central Holy Domain, but I have another identity as well. Would you like to know?"

"Another identity... what might that be?"

Lin Tianming was successfully piqued by the woman’s curiosity, and awaited her response.

The woman said directly, "I am also the Saintess of the Bright Holy Sect of the Central Holy Domain. My name is Sofia. Now that I’ve told you my name, how about you?"

The Saintess of the Central Holy Domain’s Bright Holy Sect, Sofia?

Lin Tianming did not expect her to have such an identity and looked at Sofia a bit more closely. He then told her his own name.

"Lin Tianming."

"So, you are the Jiuzhou person from Holy Cross Academy who became wildly famous for smashing two Knight Statues."

Somewhat surprised that his story was known even to Sofia from the Central Holy Domain, Lin Tianming also felt a bit embarrassed.

"I hope it’s alright. I didn’t mean to break those two Knight Statues."

Who would have thought Saintess Sofia from the Bright Holy Sect would offer him a gesture brimming with respect.

"Whether it was intentional or not, I must express my gratitude on behalf of the Central Holy Domain Holy City, Lin Tianming."

Confused as to why Sofia was thanking him, Lin Tianming was puzzled about the reason.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for destroying those two Knight Statues."

Sofia’s answer only made Lin Tianming even more baffled.

"Why thank me for breaking the Knight Statues?"

When this question came up, Sofia glanced at the people inside the Holy Light Cathedral.

Even though no one was paying them any attention, she beckoned Lin Tianming with a hand gesture, indicating that he should go outside with her to talk.

Understanding what Sofia meant, Lin Tianming followed her outside.

Only after they had gone outside did Sofia reveal the true reason for her gratitude to Lin Tianming.

"The Slaughter Aura contained within these Knight Statues from the Holy Cross Academy was drawn from the Holy Cross Army of Xiluo Domain when they invaded the Central Holy Domain. It absorbed the Slaughter Aura from the battlefield and was combined with a Divine Power Crystal obtained from a Secret Realm to create them.

For the people of Xiluo Domain, this is a Holy Object symbolizing their former military glory, but for us from the Central Holy Domain, these Knight Statues, which absorbed the Slaughter Aura from the Holy Cross Army’s invasion, are proof of the persecution inflicted upon the Central Holy Domain.

You destroyed these two statues, which to us symbolize evil, and for that I naturally owe you my thanks."

After Sofia’s explanation, Lin Tianming also recalled the ancient enmity he knew of between the Central Holy Domain and Xiluo Domain.

In the ancient times before the Demon Tomb was sealed, the Bright Holy Sect of the Central Holy Domain was the original denomination that worshipped the Light God.

When it spread to the Xiluo Domain, people suffering from the persecutions by Divine Realm Demons sought solace and began worshipping the fictitious Light God of the Bright Holy Sect.

Due to ideological disagreements with the Central Holy Domain, the Xiluo Domain created their own sect, the Holy Light Sect, still devout to the Light God.

Since the Light God’s faith originated from the Holy City of the Central Holy Domain, Xiluo Domain launched the Holy Cross Army to invade eastward, attempting to seize the sacred birthplace of the Light God’s faith.

There were no victors in this eastward invasion by the Holy Cross Army of Xiluo Domain and Central Holy Domain; both sides suffered heavy casualties.

If one must identify a victim, it would certainly be the Central Holy Domain, who was arbitrarily invaded by Xiluo Domain.

From this war for legitimacy that took place hundreds of years ago, relations between Xiluo Domain and Central Holy Domain have always been quite poor.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming understood why Saintess Sofia from the Bright Holy Sect of the Central Holy Domain was thanking him.

This matter was sensitive; being from the Central Holy Domain, Sofia certainly couldn’t speak ill of Xiluo Domain in the Holy Light Cathedral in front of so many Xiluo Domain People.

Having figured it out, Lin Tianming said, "I see, I understand now!"

"In any case, thank you, Lin Tianming, but let’s end our conversation here for today. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave now!"

Saintess Sofia from the Bright Holy Sect thanked Lin Tianming once more for destroying those two Knight Statues, then took the initiative to bid him farewell.

Having met the pure and beautiful Sofia from the Central Holy Domain today, Lin Tianming felt quite pleased.

"If you’re busy, then go ahead. Next time we’ll find a chance to have a good talk over dinner!"

Waving goodbye to Sofia, Lin Tianming was about to stroll around other parts of Divine Martial City, but then a thought jolted through his mind.

[Seeing that you’ve destroyed those two Knight Statues, I won’t trouble you this time in Xiluo Domain, but our grudges from the past life won’t end like this!]
