I Became The Vampire Progenitor
Chapter 160: The Breath-Taking Profession – Divinely Favored One

Holy Priest??

Li De was utterly astonished at this title, wondering what on earth was going on?

Seeing Emi’s excitement, he knew it wasn’t something simple. However, he didn’t rush to ask. After all this time, he was no longer the impatient rookie he once was.

Calmly watching Nilo’s increasingly powerful aura, his eyes remained indifferent.

But Emi couldn’t contain his excitement and spoke with unimaginable enthusiasm.

"Lord Progenitor, this is absolutely a blessing from the Creator. To have a Holy Priest among us is truly magnificent!!"

Li De glared at Emi in annoyance. This rascal always spoke in half-sentences. What exactly was a Holy Priest?

Seeming to sense Li De’s irritation, Emi revealed an awkward smile and quickly explained.

"A Holy Priest is a Divinely Favored One."

"Divinely Favored One?" Li De raised an eyebrow. "Explain."

Watching Nilo still undergoing the transformation by faith energy, Emi gradually calmed himself. His eyes reflected deep reminiscence as he spoke profoundly.

"Legend has it that only believers whose faith in their deity reaches the pinnacle can become Holy Priests. Becoming a Holy Priest is even rarer than becoming a Transcendent Mage by countless times!"

Li De narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Nilo with renewed interest. Rarer than becoming a Transcendent Mage??

"What constitutes reaching the pinnacle of faith? Zealots?"

"No, even Zealot believers willing to sacrifice their lives for their deity fall far short of the pinnacle. This is a matter of a higher level." Emi’s expression turned serious.

"To become a Holy Priest, a believer must reach absolute unconditional faith in their deity, unwavering regardless of the deity's actions.

For instance, if people initially worshipped the God of Justice, but one day the God of Justice fell into temptation and abandoned his justice, most believers would collapse and leave.

Even loyal Zealots might waver.

But Holy Priests will not. They are the most loyal members of the entire order.

Even if the God of Justice fell and became an evil, bloodthirsty abyssal demon, they would follow and fall with him.

This steadfast faith transcends divine duties and morality, representing the firmest belief.

In other words, even if you were no longer the God of Dawn, the Holy Priest would maintain an unshakable faith in you."

Emi’s tone carried deep awe. Only someone who had worked in the temple for so many years could understand how difficult it was for a Holy Priest to appear.

People had selfish motives. Many joined religious orders hoping to gain the deity’s favor, to obtain power, food, wealth, etc.

Though such motives didn’t corrupt their faith, it could never reach the pinnacle.

Thus, becoming a Zealot was already extremely difficult, let alone achieving a higher level of faith.

The Knight God, acknowledged by the pantheon of gods, didn’t even have Zealots in Green City. Imagining the difficulty and incredibility of reaching a higher level of faith was staggering.

Li De nodded thoughtfully.

Faith that transcended everything.

He looked at Nilo’s near-perfect pale face, puzzled.

Why did this girl trust him so much?

He didn’t understand. It seemed he hadn’t done anything, and this was their first meeting.

At this moment, Li De subconsciously ignored his identity as the Progenitor of the Saintlight Vampires and the Lord of Dawn.

He failed to realize the immense impact his actions had on the lowest rungs of society, those who were always sacrificed and forgotten.

Why did the Dawn Order quickly gain human trust? Why did the believers grow so rapidly? It was all because of him.

He hadn’t experienced winter watching loved ones starve to death due to lack of food.

Hadn’t experienced the tragedy of beastmen massacres and plundering.

Hadn’t endured various nobles’ vampiric oppression and enslavement.

Hadn’t lived through the plight of powerless commoners in this world.

Li De found it hard to imagine the extent of respect and admiration the downtrodden masses had for him, who gave them everything.

Coupled with the daily propaganda of his greatness by the City Hall and Propaganda Department.

Thus, the residents of Dawn City not only lived a life beyond their wildest dreams but also underwent various ideological transformations, with both material and spiritual aspects firmly under his control.

Under these circumstances, the residents of Dawn City had already reached maximum respect for him.

Nilo’s appearance might involve coincidence, but it was certainly not accidental. It was merely a small fruit of his long-term efforts.

What seeds you sow in the planting season will bear corresponding fruits in the harvest season.

Nothing happens without reason.

If he had to thank anyone, he should thank himself.

In the room heavy with religious atmosphere, Nilo was like an angel descending from the divine realm, holy and flawless, supported by two energies.

The two energies intertwined; the golden energy was solemn and dignified like a knight wielding a sword, The white energy was benevolent and pure, like a smiling compassionate priest.

Though they didn’t merge, they complemented each other brilliantly.

Under the influence of sacred attribute-filled energies, Nilo’s delicate face became even more captivating.

It wasn’t the sensuous beauty of ordinary women but a benevolent beauty towards humanity.

And her black hair, transformed by the two energies, now carried a faint holy light.

Like angel wings, inspiring reverence.

Compared to Nilo, the other two girls bestowed with faith energy were infinitely ordinary.

They merely closed their eyes, their auras slowly strengthening.

Compared to the huge commotion caused by Nilo, it was like raindrops falling into the sea, insignificant.

Nilo felt her soul reach a new height under the nourishment of golden and white energies. Even without opening her eyes, she sensed that everything in the world had changed.

Previously undetectable magic swirled around her, seemingly controllable with just a blink.

A newly sprouted mulberry branch peeked into the room through a half-open translucent window. A small bat hung upside down on the eaves outside, sound asleep.

Inside, Lord Kachar and Master Emi watched her with expressions full of joy.

Nilo enjoyed this sensation of perceiving the world with mental force. Just as she wanted to observe more, the spiritual imprint left by Li De in her mind was assimilated by the sacred power at this moment.

Happiness, joy, goodwill—Nilo sensed the emotions conveyed by the owner of the imprint in her mind.

And this made her even happier. The lord’s approval was her motivation to move forward.

Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed. Time continued until the other two girls successfully transitioned and left the office with jubilant hearts, while Nilo still hadn’t opened her eyes.

Three sun-hours later.

The surrounding magic suddenly accelerated its flow, like a dragon opening its mouth to devour lake water, drawing in magic from all directions into Nilo’s body.

The power within Nilo’s body rapidly increased, and her level soared imperceptibly to outsiders: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, stopping only at Level 6.

Ten minutes later, the dense magic began to dissipate slowly, and Nilo finally regained control of her body.

Upon regaining control, she felt everything had changed.

The dense magic swirling around her body was several times clearer than before, easily controllable if she wished.

It was a very peculiar feeling.

Nilo knew this was the spellcasting ability bestowed upon her by Lord Kachar.

Now, she was different.

She had become a legendary priestess. From today onward, she would follow in Lord Kachar’s footsteps, becoming an eternal follower.

She was fearless. For Lord Kachar, she was willing to give everything.

Nilo gazed at Li De with deep admiration and respect.

This was her faith—the deity who brought her from hell to the kingdom of gods, her one and only.

Li De, who had been waiting all along, raised his lips into a high arc when Nilo opened her eyes.

"Ding~ Dawn Order priest—Nilo Grace, her faith in you has broken through limitations to reach the pinnacle, triggering special rules, successfully transitioning to become a Holy Priest.
