National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

”Where did that Archbishop Guerrero from the Bright Holy See go? That staircase made of pure light just now, could it have led to the Celestial Kingdom?”

Xia Chengli’s glistening eyes widened as she curiously gazed at the sky, which was gradually becoming overcast again.

The bizarre Evil Spirit aura and energy fluctuations suffusing the Black Continent Grassland were simply too potent.

Even after the recent, overwhelming surge of Light Attribute power, the atmosphere was quickly being consumed, returning to a dark and oppressive gloom.

However, the sight of Archbishop Guerrero’s departure had deeply shaken all the members of the imperial forces present.

He had simply ascended a staircase that led into the depths of the sky and vanished just like that.

”As expected of the Bright Holy See. It must lead to the Celestial Kingdom.”

”To the Celestial Kingdom? Isn’t the Celestial Kingdom for people who have died? Does that mean the Archbishop from the Bright Holy See is already dead?”

”If you have something sensible to say, say it. If not, shut your mouth. People like you who talk so much crap and are so malicious are bound for Hell. You couldn’t get into the Celestial Kingdom even if you tried.”

”Are all you followers of the Bright Holy See this extreme? I was just making a casual comment. Look how worked up you are.”

Breaking news: someone saw Archbishop Guerrero return to the Bright Holy See’s holy land with his people.

Some viewers in the livestream chat were already starting to argue.

However, the last scrolling comment quickly captured everyone’s attention.

Soon, someone quickly went to a search engine.

Sure enough, someone had already recorded a video.

The video showed the holy land of the Bright Holy See.

On the solemn and serene Holy Land Square, the dense crowd was utterly silent.

Every heart was filled with immense reverence and anticipation.

Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, casting a dappled pattern of light and shadow,

draping the sacred ground in a thin, golden veil.

Just then, a brilliant rift suddenly split open the sky.

It was a light unlike any from the Mortal World—vast and pure, as if a celestial river from the deepest heavens had burst its banks.

A torrent of sacred power surged from the rift, forming a blindingly brilliant pillar of light that poured straight down upon the square.

This pillar of light wasn’t static. Instead, with a gentle yet firm strength, it slowly wove itself together, extending through the air,

eventually forming a staircase that led to an unknown realm.

Each step radiated a soft and holy radiance, as if the gates of the Celestial Kingdom were slowly opening,

inviting the mortals below to glimpse its mysteries.

At the end of the staircase, wreathed in clouds and mist, one could faintly see an Archbishop in magnificent ceremonial robes—Guerrero.

His face was benevolent, his eyes twinkling with the light of wisdom and compassion.

Following behind him was a group of Bright Holy See members, also bathed in holy light. Their steps were steady,

each one seeming to respond to some ancient and solemn rhythm,

as they slowly descended from the clouds to the Mortal World along this staircase of light.

With their descent, the entire square was shaken by an invisible force, and the air filled with an indescribable solemnity and sanctity.

All the followers stared with wide eyes. Some clenched their fists, tears welling in their eyes.

Others fell to their knees in excitement, muttering to themselves, expressing their awe and gratitude for this miracle.

In the crowd, phones and cameras were raised, and the sound of shutters was incessant.

Every lens tried to capture this fleeting miracle, to freeze this soul-stirring scene in time forever.

These videos spread like wildfire across the internet at an astonishing speed.

Major social media platforms and news websites were instantly swept up by this sudden frenzy.

People forwarded, commented, and shared, expressing their own shock and emotion.

Every detail in the video was endlessly scrutinized,

from the dazzling colors of the light pillar to Bishop Guerrero’s serene gaze,

to the devout expressions of the followers—every detail became a hot topic of discussion.

In an instant, this scene at the Holy Land Square became the focus of global attention.

It not only brought unprecedented comfort to the souls of countless followers,

but also allowed the world to once again witness the mighty power of faith and the awe-inspiring reality of miracles.

”Don’t tell me Archbishop Guerrero of the Bright Holy See suffered a setback on the Black Continent Grassland, and now he’s putting on this whole show just to flex and show off the Bright Holy See’s strength?”

”The thing is, you need real strength to be able to show off like that. The distance from the Black Continent Grassland to the Bright Holy See’s holy land is nearly halfway across Blue Star.”

”One moment he’s on the Black Continent Grassland, and a few seconds later he appears in the holy land of the Bright Holy See. That kind of display of spatial power and speed is terrifying.”

”As expected of the Bright Holy See I follow. Truly powerful factions are indeed low-key and reserved.”

”Then why did they suffer a setback on the Black Continent Grassland?”

”Then why don’t you ask the Human Race Supremacy Association to try pulling a stunt like that at the Bright Holy See’s holy land?”

The netizens in the comments section had mixed reviews about this move by the Bright Holy See.

”I don’t know if this was the work of a master from the Bright Holy See or if they used some kind of Holy Artifact.”

”But I have to say, regardless of the method,”

”their mastery over space has reached a level that would astonish even gods and ghosts.”

Chu He also watched the video on the phone Lin Zuoguang handed him. It showed the events that had just unfolded at the Bright Holy See’s holy land.

He could tell at a glance that the video was real, not CGI.

”Looks like the situation on Blue Star is even more complex than we imagined. Every faction is hiding their trump cards and won’t play them unless absolutely necessary.”

”Even though the Bright Holy See demonstrated such powerful control over space today, I’m sure they still have other aces up their sleeve.”

Lin Zuoguang sighed. ”I never would have thought that after one trip to the Black Continent Grassland, Ye Lingyun would become the supreme controller of the Vampire Clan.”

”It’s just a pity we didn’t manage to kill that Yang Haichao from Leland Academy.”

Xiao Yu sighed regretfully.

Their original plan had been to enter the Rainbow Welfare Institute,

find Yang Haichao—the one who was always going on about how much sweeter the air was in the Lighthouse Empire—

and take care of him before completing their mission for the Martial Arts Academy’s ranking tournament.

They stayed on the Black Continent Grassland for a few more days.

Chu He had Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, and Lin Zuoguang stay behind with the other students from the National Road Academy to conduct a six-month special training program.

After all, the tempering from this Martial Arts Academy ranking tournament hadn’t produced the expected results.

Chu He put Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, and Lin Zuoguang in charge of leading the team,

and ensuring everyone’s safety.

However, he didn’t tell them that,

when he left, he had left behind a clone created from his He Transformed and Free Great Method.

Its purpose was to truly guarantee their safety.

After all, Blue Star was full of hidden masters, and all sorts of characters were constantly emerging.

Then, Chu He took Xia Chengli and returned to the Great Xia Empire.

Chu He then taught Xia Chengli another Secret Technique he had mastered.

Xia Chengli was overjoyed and immediately went into seclusion in a secret chamber at the National Road Academy.

After returning to his manor, Chu He went straight to its secret chamber.
