After the goddess of Dawn woke up, although she had not recovered from her injuries, she was able to maintain the operation of the kingdom of God herself, and she had the strength to descend to the next god. Through the introduction of the covenant party, Richard learned that St. Catherine's relationship was very close to the goddess of dawn, she was a relative of the goddess of dawn, and from the bloodline point of view, she was the great-grandson of the goddess of dawn's sister.

This St. Catherine was one of the earliest followers of the goddess of the dawn, and in the age of wizards, she followed in the footsteps of the goddess and entered the plane of the dawn.

In the wizarding era, the rule wizard was the master of this world, no god dared to preach openly, and the Dawn Church was only a secret religion at that time, and did not dare to enter the core of the wizard's territory.

After decades of secret preaching, countless sacrifices, and the unpopularity of the wizarding empire, the Dawn Church accumulated tens of millions of believers in a short period of time, and the goddess successfully ignited the divine fire and succeeded in sealing the gods.

This process was extremely difficult, according to the Covenant Party, there were hundreds of followers who entered the Dawn Plane with the Goddess back then, and only a dozen of them survived to become a goddess. Among these people came out nine legends, two demigods.

The awakening of the goddess and the coming down from God is undoubtedly good news for the Dawn Church. Moreover, according to the covenant party, this descending relative of the goddess of the dawn will come with a powerful artifact.

The Bible of the Dawn Church records many secrets of antiquity.

There are several types of Dawn Bibles, the first is the Severe Cutting Board, which hides a lot of key information, and is basically used by ordinary believers and grassroots pastors, and this is the first Bible that Richard can see.

The second is the normal version, this kind of holy text is basically used by the high-level clergy in the Dawn Church, recording a lot of secrets of the Seven Gods and even the wizard era, including some of the early experiences of the goddess, the plane that the goddess went to before lighting the divine fire, and so on.

But there is still a blank on the core issue of the goddess and the seven gods.

The current situation of the gods of the Dawn Church is incomprehensible even to the upper echelons like Richard.

It is also rumored that there is a mystical version of the Bible, which cannot be divulged and is only taught to the legendary priest class.

In the entire Dawn Church, there are only two and a half people who are proficient in this kind of writing, and Rosie has not been promoted to a legendary priest for a long time, so he is not proficient in this mysterious writing.

The holy scriptures are used for preaching, and like the holy fire lit outside the church door, it has the ability to absorb the power of faith, and it is through the holy fire outside the church, the Bible in the hands of the believers, that the goddess can receive the power of faith into the kingdom of God.

Therefore, as long as they want to spread the faith, promote the demigods, and ignite the heart of the divine fire, the saints will record the major events they have done in the Bible.

The revision of the Bible is also a very serious matter for the church, especially when it comes to saints, and it is even more cautious, and sometimes in order to find out the reason for a thing, the shaman who wrote the Bible will enter the kingdom of the goddess in the state of the soul and personally inquire about the person.

The Covenant Pope spoke for most of the day, and Richard found out a lot of secrets from him, and when the secret meeting was over, the Covenant Party left Richard alone, and then took him to the top floor of the church.

The top floor of the Dawn Church is the bell tower, which is also the true core of the Dawn Church, which not only enshrines the artifact Dawn Bell, but also houses the body of the Sage of the Dawn Goddess, so that the goddess can descend in her real body.

The body of the Goddess of Dawn, a sage, was her body before she became a god. The goddess was originally a powerful magician from the Flange plane. Due to the suppression of the gods of the flange plane, it was impossible to spread the faith on a large scale, so he could only leave from the flange plane, pass through the wind element plane, and enter the dawn plane by chance.

Within the crystal wall system where the Dawn plane is located, there are more than hundreds of planes, and these planes are located in the sea of stars, and the physical rules are roughly the same among the major planes.

In addition to these hundreds of material planes, there are also super-large planes such as the Abyss, the Source Sea, the Shadow, the Underworld, and the Four Elements within the crystal wall system, and these super-large planes are all connected to hundreds of material planes.

Among the super-large special planes, there are many gods with powerful divine powers, which are the planes with the highest energy level and have a very high danger.

Under normal circumstances, even when a legendary wizard enters, security cannot be guaranteed. Even if the gods break in, they may be killed and imprisoned.

It is rumored that Workin, the goddess of wealth, was imprisoned by the Demon King on the Abyssal Plane.

The Goddess of Dawn also took a lot of risks back then, and only then did she take hundreds of followers to enter the Dawn Plane through the plane passage built by the wizards.

At that time, the Dawn Plane was still called the White Tower Plane, and it was under the control of the Rule Wizard.

Rule wizards don't need the power of faith, they only need to master the power hidden in the elements and the source sea, and then transform through the World Tree, which is more similar to the Demon Lord and the Undead Lord.

Although the sphere of influence of the rule wizard is far inferior to the multi-faceted gods with powerful divine powers, it is also a real sitting tiger, and in the case of mastering the World Tree, he can use the power of the plane's origin to be stronger than the gods in the White Tower plane.

Even the God of Radiance, who was powerful in his divine power, did not dare to enter the realm of wizards in the strongest form of the body of a saint.

Because wizards don't need the power of faith, the oppression of the bottom is extremely serious, and ordinary people not only become bloodline experiments in large numbers, but even low-level wizards will be killed at will, in a precarious environment.

This special environment is very conducive to the missionary work of the Goddess of Dawn, and the Goddess of Dawn also uses a special method to contact the Starlight Alliance.

Through the cover of cooperation with the Starlight Alliance, the Goddess of Dawn gradually gained a firm foothold in the new plane, and in less than a hundred years thereafter, she ignited the divine fire and successfully became a god.

The Goddess of Dawn's kingdom was in the kingdom of Paramet, a region of the Offaland Wizarding Empire, which was not valued by the Wizarding Empire at the time due to its large population, due to the lack of magic wells.

After the goddess of Dawn was enshrined, she immediately cooperated with the four gods of brilliance outside and launched a counterattack against the rule wizard, in the process, their alliance helped the two demigods to succeed in sealing the gods in the White Tower plane, and then the inside and outside joined forces to defeat the rule wizard in one fell swoop and seize the White Tower plane, but the Starlight Alliance was exposed in advance, and Shao Gongyuan failed to promote the rule wizard and died in the hands of the Offland Wizard Empire.

In order to commemorate her exploits, the seven gods signed a contract with the gods, renamed the White Tower plane to the Dawn plane, and recorded the deeds of the god of dawn in the Bible of that year.

However, with the passage of time, the Bible has been constantly revised, and the Goddess of Dawn's military exploits have been continuously diluted, and now the believers of the Seven Gods no longer understand what happened in the wizard era, and the glory of the Goddess of Dawn seems to have disappeared into time. There is only the Church of God of Justice and Justice, and there are still some old versions of the Bible in circulation.

In the bell tower on the top floor of the Cathedral of Dawn, there are not only the bodies of the saints of the Goddess of Dawn, but also the bodies of five demigods.

A demigod is a transcendent who has ignited a divine fire, refined divinity, and has divine power, and is already a kind of spiritual body, with almost eternal life, and his combat power is usually far stronger than that of the legendary fourth order.

If a Legendary Fourth-Order Profession wants to fight against a demigod, he must rely on the role of an artifact. The closer one's profession and soul are to the artifact, the more powerful the artifact can be, and there are often legendary fourth-order priests who rely on the power of the artifact to defeat the demigods. On the contrary, it is a legendary fourth-order magician, who can only flee for his life when he encounters a demigod, and basically cannot compete with it.

Because the magicians of the fourth order of the legend are basically shallow believers, and they can't play the role of an artifact at all, the Church of Truth has developed for more than tens of thousands of years, and it is still a weak-level god, and the ungodliness of the magicians is also the fundamental reason.

Although the magicians are not religious, the strength of the Church of Truth is not weak, because the believers of the God of Truth, the core are magicians and scholars, although the number of believers is relatively small, but the combat effectiveness is very strong. Moreover, some mage lords will also promote their subjects to believe in the god of truth.

The biggest difference between demigods and gods is that they do not have a godhead, cannot form a priesthood, cannot establish a divine kingdom, cannot give believers divine magic, and are unable to condense the incarnation of gods. Perception and magic resistance are not comparable to gods, but because they have divine powers, they can hurt gods to a certain extent.

When Richard arrived at the bell tower of the Dawn Cathedral, he saw an old man at the door at first sight. The old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, and although his face was old, he was not the same as the Pope, and he seemed very energetic.

"Richard Saint, let me introduce you, his name is Francis, he is the leader of the ascetics, after the goddess awakened, he has been promoted to the legendary paladin and elected as the new cardinal."

The ascetic nodded at Richard with a gentle gaze, Francis was a silent man, he was a true fanatic, and his profession was a rare paladin in the Church of Dawn.

Paladins are a very powerful profession with a strong restraining effect on evil, they have no less physical and combat skills than warriors, more powerful magic resistance, and their hand-to-hand combat ability is a few points stronger than that of warrior professionals.

In addition, the paladin also has spell abilities, and is proficient in the three aspects of defense, healing, and fighting evil, and has mastered more than 50 kinds of spell abilities. Although not as comprehensive as the mage, it is far more than the bloodline knight.

You must know that Silver, a legendary elf, has only seven bloodline spells mastered.

The magic power of the knight professional comes from the bloodline, but the professional of the paladin comes from the gods, and the class template is equivalent to the special advanced version of the knight.

The ascetics under Francis's command were basically holy warriors. The status of the holy warriors in the church is a few points higher than that of the priests.

The promotion of the legendary paladin is simple to say, but difficult to say.

First of all, you need to be devout to the goddess, you must be a true believer or above, such as Richard, Rahimine, Senna and other shallow believers, although the strength is very strong, the goddess also attaches great importance to it, and sometimes it will give the gods, but because the faith is not pious, even if you reluctantly become a priest, holy warrior and other special professions, there is basically no future, and it is difficult to be promoted.

Secondly, the promotion of the legendary paladin requires a strong will and an extraordinary body.

If one's own will and body can refine the power given by the goddess, then they can be promoted smoothly.

Mastering the power of legends is not an easy task. Especially the goddess of Dawn, a god who has been promoted by magicians, has mastered almost all spells, and it is even more difficult for his priests and holy warriors to be promoted.

According to the godhead level of the Goddess of Dawn, two avatars can be condensed and four believers can be promoted to the Legendary Realm. In the past, when the goddess was asleep, in order to save power, the Dawn Church would generally grant the priest a promotion to the legendary realm.

Now that the goddess has awakened, Francis has filled the gap and become the fourth legend. The status of the Legendary Paladins within the Church is basically the same as that of the Legendary Priest, and they are the most trusted people in the Church.

Generally speaking, legendary priests hold three positions: pope, high priest, and cardinal. Among them, the pope and the high priest are priests, but there are many cardinals, and the chief cardinal can only be a legendary priest.

The chief cardinal, despite being the third in the clergy of the Holy See, is the successor of the pope. Generally speaking, when the pope enters the kingdom of God, the chief cardinal takes over the office.

The main reason why the legendary paladin could not hold the top three positions was that his moral purity was too high, and it was difficult to unite all the cultists. So he could only act as an ascetic, the leader of the Inquisition.

The number of secondary cardinals varies, but there can be only a maximum of five. Although this position is not a real position, it has a very important position, equivalent to a vice-pope.

The Church of Dawn has three secondary cardinals, namely the legendary third-order magician Racine, the legendary second-order magician Senna, and the legendary fourth-order knight Wallace. The three secondary cardinals, Racine in charge of the Red Moon plane, Senna guarding the princess's mausoleum, and Wallace as the head of the Templar Order, each took on the responsibility of his own.

The cardinals of the Church, among the hundreds of legendary professionals in the Dawn Plane, are all ranked among the top powerhouses, and their gold content is self-evident.

The ascetic Francis had just been promoted to the rank of legend and became the second cardinal, which shows how much the church valued the legendary priest. After all, for a church organization, the pastoral profession is the core, and the leading power of the church must be in the hands of the pastoral profession.

Seeing that the Covenant Pope had brought a stranger to the bell tower and sensed the majestic dawn divinity in this person, Francis immediately understood that it must be Richard the Divine who had ascended the bell tower.

After all, among the three gods of the Dawn Church, only Richard was the youngest.

In fact, more than 30 years ago, Francis had a relationship with Richard.

Richard's soul had just come to this world and was possessed by a high demon, and Francis had been an ascetic who followed the Pope's covenant to Black River City.

In order to avoid alarming outsiders, the covenant party, Francis and his party did not reveal their identities, and even Richard was ignorant for a long time because his soul was disturbed by demons because he had just crossed over.
