As a human, his popularity probably stemmed from that dream-like, natural aura he exuded.

The demons and Transcendents present were not skilled in combat.

But their perception was keen, and they were mostly enthusiastic and direct.

Inviting Tang Qi was the most normal way to express a desire to get close to him, and later, they simply pulled Tang Qi into the forest dance floor, immersing themselves in the joyful atmosphere, which included not only demonic girls but also some furry demon Big Men.

Fortunately, Tatalia Forest tonight was not open to ordinary humans; otherwise, if they barged in and saw this scene, they would probably faint from shock.

In joy, time flew by swiftly.

Soon, with the misty purple moon reaching its fullest, radiance showered down over the entire Divine Eagle Federation.

Midnight, twelve o'clock, was about to arrive.

The demons who had been playing the music wanted to continue; they did not include Bright believers among them and did not care about the rules of the Light Festival, but as the initial quiet, low chants overhead in the Federation's sky turned immensely large and shocking, they had to stop.

At this moment, the Divine Eagle Federation was becoming different from the usual days; the demons participating in the banquet looked up at the sky in unison. The night sky, which should have been pitch-black, was now diffused with points of light. The flickering points of light extinguished and vaguely revealed images of various cities:

In those thousands of cities, within each church, within each family, devout believers held their ancient scrolls. They sat cross-legged, with heads bowed, chanting the "Holy Words" recorded on the scrolls with utmost devotion.

Light Festival!

For the general public, it was just a grand holiday.

But for the believers of Light, tonight held an extraordinary significance.

Especially for all the Transcendent believers, those Priests, nuns, Bright Knights, warriors, Bishops... they were qualified to know about the recent "Thorn Event" and had even experienced that major event as participants.

For the entire Bright Church, that event was a strange disgrace. After Charles I inexplicably became the "Fallen Lord" and was banished to an unknown place in the Exotic Realm, the Church seemed somewhat panicked and unsure how to handle the aftermath.

This was also why?

The instigators of the event, Tang Qi and Rafael, the two primary culprits, had not been retaliated against by the Church.

Because before seeking revenge, the Church needed to confirm first.

Was their worshipped "Lord of Light" still that Supreme Divinity, representing Eternal Radiance?

Their fervent anticipation burst with unimaginable devotion.

The chanting voice gradually enveloped the entire Divine Eagle Federation.

Tang Qi's expression remained calm, holding a wine glass in the Fantasy Forest, listening with a host of demons to the increasingly grand and shocking voice:

"The World was originally Nihility, My Lord created the World."

"The Master said let there be Light, and so there was Light."

"Those who believe in My Lord may find peace."

"My Lord is the Beginning and the End; only by believing in Him and offering your Life, soul, and will to My Lord, can you be forgiven and reborn."

...

At this moment, not only the Federation's mysterious side but also the Transcendents beyond the Federation were paying close attention to everything on the New Continent.

Nobody could predict what would happen tonight.

Would the Lord of Light awaken?

If He awoke, what would He do?

Amidst these curious thoughts, suddenly, all the Transcendents raised their heads to look at the sky.

"It's here!"

The voices of many Transcendents were noticeably trembling.

Because at this moment, the commotion they felt surpassed any of their previous speculations, and was inconceivably more intense.

In a daze, the entire Federation, even the whole Origin Star, began to "activate," the world became surreal, and all Transcendents seemed to clearly feel the presence of the Spiritual Tide—this was the foundation on which they could wield Extraordinary Power.

It was like a river suddenly running wild, spawning a great number of whirlpools.

They looked towards their city in a somewhat stunned state, and the first to erupt was Jiatai City.

In the square, where the statue of the Lord of Thorns once stood, a large number of Bright believers had gathered. Under the leadership of an incredibly aged white-robed bishop, who appeared to have crawled out from a grave, they were chanting verses from the "Holy Blood Book."

"The Master says: Those who come into this world will decay, will deceive, will destroy, will rebel... By calling my name, these many sins shall be borne by Me; O believers of the Light, you shall find direction in your wandering, and you shall be reborn in the coming of the new era."

"Boom!"

It burst forth!

The sacred light points that filled the air suddenly coalesced into an incredibly thick pillar of light as the syllable "rebirth" was uttered, reaching straight into the heavens.

Starting from Jiatai City, the same scene that once occurred during the recent Thorn Event was now repeating.

As all the followers of the Light on Origin Star chanted with utmost devotion, robust, gentle "Pillars of Holy Light" were born seemingly eternal, rising from the ground into the sky, lighting up the darkened night.

One gap after another appeared, and immediately fused together.

In the blink of an eye, the Federation was no longer in darkness, but as if it had entered into daylight... Warm, gentle Holy Light, like sunshine, rained down, and everywhere on Origin Star one only needed to look up to see a supremely sanctified, bright kingdom, piercing through the night, about to merge with Origin Star.

That was a land filled with peace and joy, where life never decayed, no sin existed, and the souls of all living beings would enter final rest and obtain eternal bliss.

Land of Light!

At this moment, everyone on Origin Star was lost in a daze.

The Transcendents were nearly driven mad with excitement; they had envisioned the scene of the "Lord of Light" waking from slumber, most likely choosing between the Old Continent or the New Continent, the Church headquarters, to reveal miracles for the believers to worship.

But at this moment, they seemed to have guessed wrong, absurdly wrong.

"The Lord of Light, upon awakening, intends to merge with Origin Star?"

As this thought emerged, many Transcendents who were versed in Hidden Knowledge collectively shook their heads.

That was impossible!

Since the very distant Origin Era, Origin Star had never been ruled by any Divine Being, not even those at the Dominator Level.

The Lord of Light, just awakened from slumber, weak and feeble, had the audacious thought to bring billions of humans on Origin Star into Its Bright Kingdom?

Impossible!

Just as the big shots on the Mysterious Side unequivocally stated this, an unforeseen change occurred.

The "Bright Kingdom," which was about to merge with Origin Star, suddenly became dim, no matter how devotedly the believers chanted, that light, which had the power to turn Origin Star as bright as day, gradually faded, like a performance about to end, ready to leave the center stage.

This scene was witnessed vividly by all the Transcendents on the Mysterious Side.

And for most of the Bright believers who were just ordinary civilians, in a trance, they felt as if they had just been hit by a serious, collective illusion.

As the public began to doubt themselves, in the realm above the real world—the Extraordinary World—all Transcendents seemed to sense something.

Whether they were the lowest level Transcendents who had just left the ranks of the Contactors, or those who had advanced to the "Legendary Level," or even those big shots approaching Demigod Level.

They all raised their heads in unison, trembling uncontrollably; they abruptly felt an extreme fear, born from the depths of their souls—an uncontrollable fear.

They could sense that what they feared was not merely the Lord of Light.

Rather, one by one, existences like the Lord of Light, Supreme Divinities beyond reach, beyond profanity, beyond Divination...

"All Spirits Above Mystery? Are They... all awakening at this moment?"

Suddenly, an utterly absurd speculation that sent monstrous waves crashing through the minds of all Transcendents was on the verge of wildly taking root.
