342: Break through level six and protect the immortal spirits.

The Pope's affairs benefited from the Holy Council and the Tower of Radiance established by Tang Ping, so many matters did not require his personal effort, leaving him quite leisurely most of the time.

Because of the scarcity of talent, the previous generation of Popes needed to rely on the power of the Ten Great Holy Bloodline Families, the Holy Knight Legion, the Holy Mage Legion, the High Council of Elders, and Descendant of God families to better control the territory. Therefore, representatives from these forces participated in the discussion of most affairs.

The power of the High Council of Elders within this structure was actually very small.

But now, the Holy Council is above all else. Tang Ping did not lack management personnel; however, the Holy Council had strength restrictions, requiring one to be at least a High-level Magician or a Glory Knight.

The Tower of Radiance, on the other hand, had no strength restrictions. As long as you had enough talent, you could participate in the Holy See and contribute your light and heat to this land.

The first seat of the first generation of the Tower of Radiance was Anqi, from the family of Earl Amida in Soto City, who was the other person besides Kaya to follow Tang Ping back then.

If the Holy Council is the center of power that the strong yearn for, the Tower of Radiance is the only one in the hearts of all young men and women.

No matter what field you are in, as long as you reach the Master level recognized by the Tower of Radiance, you can join the Tower of Radiance!

It is precisely because of this system that many people stay up all night, perfecting themselves and constantly tapping into their own potential, even unearthing the glorious skills of the lost era.

The Holy Territory is becoming prosperous at an unprecedented speed.

At the same time, because of the appearance of the radiant sacred flowers, the dark magical beasts in the Dark Forest are significantly decreasing, while many normal magical beasts not eroded by darkness are gradually increasing.

Although the radiance of the radiant sacred flower only covers a range of one thousand meters, this range is constantly expanding as the town residents' faith in it grows.

When the sacred flowers of thousands of Radiant Towns all develop wisdom and become spirits, perhaps the Dark Forest will completely become history.

Time passed for another twenty-plus years. Wofilo Town can no longer be called a small town. Benefiting from the faith of fifty thousand people over twenty years, the coverage of the radiant sacred flower has expanded to five thousand meters, even connecting with the three nearest manors.

In the thousands of Radiant Towns, the growth of the sacred flowers varied due to population differences, but the range of radiance was basically above three thousand meters. Three thousand meters was already a significant territory.

"I've reached the limit. With my current physical strength, I can no longer support a larger Azure Realm. Then I will use this current Azure Realm to lay the most solid foundation for my breakthrough to level six."

At that time, the Azure Realm spanned thousands of miles and could already be called a complete small world. Thanks to the azure ancient tree, the status of this small world could be said to be extremely high.

"Before that, the position of Pope can be officially passed to Kaya."

With his help, Kaya had already broken through to Legendary Great Knight, a realm equivalent to the fifth realm, Legendary Magician. He was already the strongest in the Holy See, second only to Tang Ping and Sophia!

After all, under the rule of the entire Holy See, even after nearly a hundred years and the diligent governance of two generations of Popes, there are currently only five Archmages and seven Radiant Great Knights.

That's right, twenty-plus years later, in just over twenty years, a total of seven knights of the fourth realm were born, namely Radiant Great Knights.

And Kaya had already become the Holy Son twenty years ago as the first Radiant Great Knight. The world was incredibly shocked by this; after all, no one expected that the third Pope would be a knight.

Because of this, there was great controversy among the world. After all, everyone knew that knights were far less powerful than magicians, and a knight becoming the Holy Son also directly infringed upon the interests of all magicians.

Originally, everyone thought Anqi would become the next Pope. After all, she had become the fifth Archmage of the Holy See, the youngest Archmage, and was also the Tower Master of the Tower of Radiance, possessing unparalleled influence.

The common people also worried that a knight would not be able to lead them to continue growing stronger.

But it wasn't until Kaya proved everything with his strength, single-handedly defeating three Archmage Cardinals, that his position was solidified in one battle.

At that time, Kaya's true strength was actually that of a fifth-realm Legendary Great Knight, but even when suppressed to the Radiant Great Knight realm, he still easily defeated the other Archmages.

The status of the Holy Son was beyond doubt.

Everyone knew that the status of knights would undergo a complete change from then on.

And so it was. Three years later, the second Radiant Great Knight appeared in the Holy See, who was also the first Knight Golden-Robed Elder of the Holy Council.

In the following decade or so, knights welcomed their own highlight moment, with seven Radiant Great Knights being born one after another.

Today, five of them are Golden-Robed Elders of the Holy Council, with a status equal to that of a Cardinal.

As for the other two, they did not belong to any faction. One of them was a true genius who established a Knight Guild after becoming a Radiant Great Knight.

As for the other Radiant Great Knight, there was the shadow of a bloodline family behind them.

Now, the bloodline families have completely retreated from the world and rarely appear in the sight of others. However, those familiar with the situation know that the patriarchs of the remaining six bloodline families are all existences even more powerful than Archmages.

December 12th, the Holy Festival.

According to the records of the Holy See Calendar, in the 100th year of the Holy Calendar, the second Pope, Townsend Saint, passed the throne to Kaya Glory.

On this day, the Holy God revealed that from now on, the term of office for each Pope shall not exceed sixty years. After abdication, they may ascend to the Kingdom of God and shall not descend to the mortal world unless the Holy See is on the verge of collapse... In the center of the Dark Forest, Tang Ping, who was in seclusion, completed the final step of incorporating the Azure Realm into his body.

The realms of his two abilities also simultaneously advanced to level six at this time.

And the dense life aura from the Azure Realm swept through the surrounding thousand miles without restraint.

A magical scene appeared. The originally black trees restored their proper appearance at this moment, with lush green trees and blooming flowers. The land eroded by darkness was completely restored to purity.

"I can go back now."

Tang Ping stood up, his original aura instantly retracting, while attributing these things to miracles through an oracle.

However, before leaving, Tang Ping still needed to do one thing. He prepared to use the power of his Azure Realm to forcibly awaken all the sunflowers and help them develop wisdom.

To completely become Guardian Spirits.
