2099 I Only Represent Myself, But I Can Make An Exception This Time

“It’s you, the heretic!”

Radiant Left Sky King’s eyes widened in shock when he saw Chu Kuangren.

Although his hair color and his aura had changed, the Radiant Left Sky King remembered that face well.

After all, Chu Kuangren did destroy his projection clone outside the Tempest Palace with a single slash.

How could he have forgotten it?

Moreover, he had been looking for a chance to rid himself of that humiliation.

When the Radiant Right Sky King was sent to attack the Black Flame City, he wanted the Radiant Goddess to send him there instead of her.

It was because he knew that Chu Kuangren was most likely going to be at Black Flame City.

However, the Radiant Goddess sent her more trusted Radiant Right Sky King there in the end.

He originally thought Chu Kuangren would die at the Right Sky King’s hand.

However, he had no idea what was going on.

‘Why is he in the Holy Radiant Church?’

“Well, who do we have here? It’s the Radiant Left Sky King, I see.”

Chu Kuangren looked at the Radiant Left Sky King with a sarcastic expression.

The Radiant Left Sky King was instantly angered. His Radiant Great Dao immediately surged. “How dare you, heretic! Do you think you can step foot into the holy church as you please?”

“Stand down!”

The Radiant Goddess bellowed sternly and looked at the Radiant Left Sky King with a cold gaze.

Radiant Left Sky King felt a chill run down his spine.

He had rarely seen the Goddess enraged like that. Previously, the Goddess would always reveal her anger only when dealing with the Dark Demonic Ruler.

That was the first time she had shown her rage toward her subordinates.

However, that was also the first time the Radiant Left Sky King had experienced the might of a Monarch Class Transcendentalist. From just that instant, he knelt involuntarily, shuddering.

“Please calm down, your Holiness. I merely wish to get rid of the heretic.”

“How insolent! He’s not a heretic but my church’s Child of Light!”

“The Child of Light?”

The Radiant Left Sky King quickly raised his head and looked at Chu Kuangren with disbelief. “This… How is this possible? He’s clearly a heretic.”

“Open your eyes and see whether he’s a heretic or not!” Ming Fei uttered indifferently.

The Radiant Left Sky King immediately observed Chu Kuangren’s body.

An incredibly pure and powerful Radiant qi seemed to be emanating all over his body. That Radiant qi was even on par with the Radiant Goddess herself.

It was as if he embodied the light itself.

No one who saw him would think of the darkness or relate him to a heretic.

“Is he not Chu Kuangren?”

The Radiant Left Sky King started to suspect that he had made a mistake.

“He is indeed Chu Kuangren, the person who was once an enemy of the church. However, I have appointed him as the Child of Ligh,” the Radiant Goddess said calmly.

“Your Holiness, allow me to explain the details to him,” Ming Fei said with a bow.

“Very well. Now, follow me, Chu Kuangren.”

Chu Kuangren stood up and left with the Radiant Goddess.

While they were strolling around the Holy Radiant Church, Chu Kuangren said, “I’m afraid many in the church will be hostile to me like the Radiant Left Sky King.”

“It doesn’t matter. With me around, no one can lay a finger on you.”

“Heh, such mighty protection frightens even me, Honorable Goddess.”

Chu Kuangren rubbed his nose.

Ever since he arrived at the Great Hongmeng Universe, he had been living off someone.

First, it was his disciple, the Tempest King, and now, the Radiant Goddess.

“The church and other forces have discovered a Spirit World. Seeing that many Prodigies and Outliers will be there, I’m sure this will be a great chance for you to gain experience. You have my permission to go check it out,” the Radiant Goddess said.

“Is that so? How exciting.”

Although that was what Chu Kuangren said, he wore a look of indifference on his face.

He had never underestimated the people in this world.

However, he had never underestimated himself too.

Prodigies?

Who would dare call themselves a Prodigy before him?

Unless they were Outliers on the same level as the Tempest King, he would never pay attention to them or take them seriously.

“You possess extraordinary talents. However, the Prodigies of the Infiniverse are not weak either. It’ll be good for you to go there. It will broaden your horizons.”

“Very well.”

“Another thing. As the Child of Light, I want you to represent the Radiant Church and represent me to participate in the excavation of this Spirit World!”

The Radiant Goddess looked at Chu Kuangren with a burning gaze.

Chu Kuangren’s eyes flickered in realization. He knew she wanted him to state his allegiance on whether he would join the Radiant Church.

“I have always only represented myself… However, I shall make an exception for you this time.”

The Radiant Goddess was originally a little disappointed to hear the first half of Chu Kuangren’s answer. However, her eyes lit up with delight when she heard the other half.

Although he did not make his allegiance clear, the fact that he could make an exception was already a step in the right direction for her.

She was not in a hurry. After all, it would take time to gain Chu Kuangren’s loyalty, which could not be done overnight.

To think that a Monarch Class Transcendentalist was trying so hard to win over a young cultivator.

The Radiant Goddess could not help but lament.

She was only doing so because he was the Child of Light, the only being in legends that could face off against the Doomsday Darkness.

“I shall look forward to your performance in the Spirit World.”

“In that case, I shall take my leave.”

With that, Chu Kuangren left.

Since he had stayed in the Holy Radiant Church and made use of the Radiant Goddess’s resources, he would not mind doing something for her in return.

‘The path to not being a freeloader always starts from oneself, after all.’

…

The Radiant Church and the Holy Radiant Church were based in different locations.

The holy church was located in space.

Meanwhile, the Radiant Church was located on one of the Great Hongmeng Continents.

Besides the very few individuals who obtained the Radiant Goddess’s permission, even the Radiant Church’s leaders were not allowed to enter the holy church.

Inside the church, the Radiant Left Sky King had returned from the holy church.

He was still a little dumbfounded.

‘Chu Kuangren is the Child of Light?’ That fact alone shattered his worldview.

He could not bring himself to accept the fact that a heretic, who had teamed up with the Dark Evil Dragon, was now the Child of Light.

However, since Chu Kuangren was hand-picked by the Radiant Goddess, he could not defy her will.

The Radiant Church Leader came to him and said, “Honorable Radiant Left Sky King, does the Holy Goddess have anything to say about the appearance of the Hongmeng Spirit World this time?”

“Her Holiness said that the Child of Light will soon arrive here. When that time comes, he shall lead the elites of the church toward the Spirit World.”

“The Child of Light?”

The Radiant Church Leader was shocked. After all, he knew about the legend too.

However, he did not expect the Child of Light to appear this time the Great Hongmeng Universe opened.

“I understand.”

The Radiant Church Leader’s expression was serious.

According to ancient legend, the Child of Light was the only one who could fend off the Doomsday Darkness. His position was on par or, if not, almost as high as the Radiant Goddess.

Seeing that such a being was coming to the church soon, he had to act cautiously.

It did not take long for the church to prepare to greet the arrival of the Child of Light with great fanfare.

“I wonder what the Child of Light looks like. How exciting indeed.”

“In all my years here, I have never heard of the Child of Light before. How did he appear out of nowhere?”

“Perhaps he has been cultivating in the holy church all this time.”

“That’s possible too.”

Many Bachelor and Maiden Saints had gathered to discuss the Child of Light.

However, one of them did not seem in the mood for it.

His name was Bachelor Saint Lang, and he was an extremely talented cultivator, even among the Bachelor Saints. He was already in the Primordial Mystic Five Realm, almost on par with most Grand Priests and the Church Leader.

“Bachelor Saint Lang, are you still thinking about Bachelor Saint Tao?”

A Maiden Saint noticed Bachelor Saint Lang’s somber mood and could not help but ask.

“Sigh. It’s time you let it go, Bachelor Saing Lang.”

“Let it go? How do you expect me to let this go? My younger brother died at the hands of a heretic. I won’t stop until I take revenge for his death!” Bachelor Saing Lang said.

The Bachelor Saint Tao he mentioned was none other than the one who went to the Tempest Palace to fight for the inheritance but was killed by Chu Kuangren in the end.

That matter had weighed heavily on his mind ever since.
