Chapter 271 Promotion! Five Levels of Destiny!
Evening.
As the sun gradually faded and a faint trace of pale blue moonlight emerged from the dim sky, the church was "under martial law" again.
This time, no one was allowed to approach the Holy Office within a hundred meters. Mayyev even received a warning mission, and he and the carefully selected clergymen were guarding the entrance to the Holy Office from the inner courtyard.
In the Holy Office, Luo Xiu came as promised and met with "Senior Deacon" Hubert here.
"I'm ready, Master Hubert."
Luo Xiu said to Hubert solemnly: "I have felt that I have resonated with the 'Sea of Spirituality' again, and I can touch that 'door' again."
He has indeed made all preparations. According to the requirements of being promoted to the upper hidden profession of "Holy Light Judge" in his memory, he has now met all of them.
He had also received all the kill rewards in his mailbox, and as a result, he settled for a "rare" quality specialty - "Tuner", which is a rare specialty that slightly speeds up the natural recovery of mana and slightly shortens the cooldown of skills.
He did not save the reward for killing "砠头" until he was truly promoted to "五重命道", thus avoiding the probability reduction of the level gap.
Hubert's face showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that the time for Luo Xiu to choose "promotion" would come so quickly.
But he soon accepted it, just nodded slightly, and pushed the box containing the "Obsidian Key" on the table in front of Luo Xiu again.
"Open it, Luo Xiu." Hubert said, "Take out your 'Obsidian Key', I will protect you by your side."
"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded and opened the black box as Hubert said.
A deep, dim light shone through the black box.
In the box, there was a black key that was emitting crystal-like reflections.
It exuded a pure breath, and its dark appearance could not conceal its rich spirituality.
Luo Xiu solemnly took the "Obsidian Key" out of the box, and felt that the crystal-like surface was not as cold as it looked, and even exuded a hint of warmth.
"Then, I will enter the 'Sea of Spirituality', Lord Hubert."
Luo Xiu finally said to Hubert solemnly: "Everything from now on is up to you."
After seeing Hubert nod lightly, Luo Xiu opened the task panel and opened the detailed page of the promotion task [Road of the Saint].
All task goals have been achieved, [Promotion Task: Road of the Saint (Nightmare Difficulty)], which is now in the "Completed" state and can be settled at any time.
"—— Mission Completed."
Luo Xiu gave a clear instruction in his mind.
At the same time when Luo Xiu gave the completion instruction, the panel in front of him suddenly glowed with dazzling golden light.
The light became brighter and brighter, and it kept changing in Luo Xiu's vision, while new text content appeared.
[Completed the promotion task: The Path of the Saint (Nightmare Difficulty)]
[You have completed a fifth-level "Altar Ceremony", and obtained enough "Moment" divinity from the ceremony, and obtained all "Glorious Judgment" attribute value upgrades. You have proved that you are qualified to go further. ]
[Task settlement...]
[Completion rewards: Basic experience +120,000, skill slots +10, skill slots +10, free attribute points +50]
[You will meet the "Obsidian Gate"]
[...]
When Luo Xiu browsed to the end, the light on it suddenly bloomed and completely engulfed Luo Xiu's figure.
Under the shining golden light, Luo Xiu's consciousness became trance.
He felt that his consciousness was being affected by some external force and was leaving his body.
And a vast, boundless "sea of spirituality" was gently wrapping him.
The warm feeling like being in a cradle made Luo Xiu slowly close his eyes.
...
When Luo Xiu opened his eyes again, he saw the familiar scene in front of him.
The deep void at the end of the field of vision, and the scenery like stars in the distance... The long stairs leading to nowhere appeared in front of him, guiding him to the depths.
After four months, he once again came to the "sea of spirituality" belonging to [Glorious].
He heard solemn chanting floating from afar, and a pure, surging white light ball floated up and down in front of Luo Xiu.
Sometimes it floated up the long steps, and sometimes it floated back, gently touching Luo Xiu's body.
Is that some kind of "guiding" glow? This little thing did not appear in the previous few times... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and followed the light ball onto the long steps.
The chanting that reached Luo Xiu's ears became clearer and clearer. At the same time, on both sides of the gradually rising long steps, vague white figures kneeling at the deepest part appeared.
They wore different clothes, but they all symbolized the identity of [Glorious] believers. They crawled and knelt, chanting vague prayers:
"——I pray to the sun for a moment..."
"——I pray to the sun for a moment..."
"——I pray to the sun for a moment..."
They looked pious, but they only repeated this prayer.
When they passed through the believers and reached the middle of the long steps, these white figures disappeared, and the vague and pious prayers soon faded away.
But the solemn chanting was still there. When Luo Xiu went deeper into the direction of the end, the white figures on both sides appeared again.
But they were no longer the appearance of "believers" - they had wings on their backs, their faces and postures were flawless, they were wearing loose holy robes, shining holy armor, or naked, showing only the purest and most holy body...
- They were all "angels"! They were "winged angels"!
But they were not real "winged angels", but just statues standing here. They held various weapons blessed with glorious divinity and pointed in the only direction - the end of this long staircase, the "obsidian gate" that sealed the five-fold destiny power of [Glory].
When the chanting sound reached Luo Xiu's ears, it became more ethereal and clearer. Indistinctly, at the end of Luo Xiu's vision, he had seen the "door".
The door made of obsidian stood there quietly. Golden or white light continued to emerge from behind the door. Luo Xiu could clearly feel that the power of "entering the sainthood" he pursued was constantly surging behind the door.
…
Under the divine guidance, Luo Xiu finally came to the "Obsidian Gate".
The long steps behind him gradually disappeared, and the sacred chanting also returned to silence. In the entire "Spiritual Sea", it seemed that only the "Obsidian Gate" and Luo Xiu's figure in front of the gate were left.
On the "door" that seemed to be carved from a whole piece of black crystal, like all the previous "supernatural gates", there was a simple lock hanging.
After standing in front of the door for a while, Luo Xiu took out the "Obsidian Key" from his arms.
The moment he handed the "Obsidian Key" into the "Obsidian Gate" lock, Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened.
[…]
[You have opened the Obsidian Gate and glimpsed the world behind the door. ]
[You lost the "Obsidian Key"]
[...]
In front of Luo Xiu, his panel suddenly popped up new content.
[Spiritual sublimation! You have advanced to the fifth level of destiny! ]

【……】
These new contents refreshed a long string on the panel in front of Luo Xiu.
At the moment when the heavy obsidian door slowly opened, the surging and sacred spirituality contained in it instantly burst out from the gap and completely engulfed Luo Xiu.
The spiritual surge like a huge wave swept and slapped him, and the surging momentum was more violent than the previous time.
The surrounding scene had gradually faded and disappeared in Luo Xiu's eyes, leaving only the bright light emanating from the "Obsidian Gate", reflecting the vague outline of the "gate".
Facing this storm-like spiritual tide, Luo Xiu took one step and two steps firmly in the direction of the light in front of him until he passed through the obsidian door.
...
Just like the last time he entered the spiritual sea belonging to [Glorious], the moment Luo Xiu really stepped into the door, the storm-like spiritual tide disappeared in an instant.
The surroundings returned to silence, and the origin that continued to emit bright light finally showed its complete form in Luo Xiu's vision.
The huge, towering palace, which seemed to be carved from equally huge black crystal, appeared in full view of Luo Xiu.
In the middle of the hall, there stood a column as before.
Those were two "obsidian columns", each carrying a different power belonging to [Glorious].
Luo Xiu walked forward quickly.
He had come to the first obsidian column, and a hazy golden light flashed across the column surface, revealing the ancient and sacred words engraved on it.
At the same time, new content popped up on Luo Xiu's panel.
[Advanced to the fifth level of "Glorious" destiny, obtaining a profession...]
[Your profession is "Holy Light Judge", you will be promoted to "Bishop of Judgment"]
[If you confirm the promotion, please touch the "Judgment" column]
[...]
This is not a "hidden profession", but a higher-level profession that continues the "Great Blessing of Judgment" of the [Glorious] profession in the previous "Triple Destiny".
If the conditions for the "hidden profession" to continue to be promoted in the fourth destiny cannot be met, it will return to being promoted to an "ordinary profession", which is a guaranteed mechanism for "promotion".
Luo Xiu quickly browsed the text on the panel, and then walked towards another obsidian pillar.
There was nothing engraved on the other obsidian pillar, only a faint glow on the outline, and the pillar was sealed with a rich and surging [Glorious] spirituality.
Luo Xiu then reached out and touched this obsidian pillar!
——Buzz! A strong spiritual surge emanated from the surface of the obsidian pillar.
When Luo Xiu touched the surface of the obsidian pillar, obscure, ancient, and sacred texts gradually emerged on it——
Along with Luo Xiu's panel, new content also emerged.
[Obtaining a hidden profession...]
[Condition 1: You have the profession "Holy Judge"]
[Condition 2: Your "Divinity" attribute is greater than 850]
[Condition 3: You have obtained the skill "Glorious Judgement" All attribute values have been improved]
[You have obtained the hidden profession - "Divine Apostle"]!
[...]
The spirituality sealed in the obsidian pillar began to flow into Luo Xiu's body frantically.
An unprecedented sense of power was constantly surging, and in Luo Xiu's body, he realized that he was undergoing a tremendous change from the inside out, and every bit of flesh and blood, even every cell, was enjoying this sublimated change.
At the same time, new content appeared on Luo Xiu's panel.
[You obtain the extraordinary profession: Divine Radiance Apostle (lv.1)]
[The level of the lower profession "Holy Radiance Judge" is inherited]
[The level of "Divine Radiance Apostle" is increased to lv.40, and the profession "Holy Radiance Judge" is lost]
[Obtain the professional skills of "Divine Radiance Apostle": Divine Radiance Oracle (Glorious, lv.1)]
[Divine Radiance Oracle (Glorious, lv.1): You pray to the Sun-casting Moment and become its apostle with piety. Moment has cast a glance and will send down an oracle soon.]
[You will gain strength from the Moment Oracle. Periodically, Moment's will will actively send down an oracle to you. Completing Moment's oracle will gain rich and permanent "Moment God's Gift". 】
【……】
【Obtain the "God's Glory Apostle" professional skill: God's Glory Descent (Glory, lv.1)】
【God's Glory Descent (Glory, lv.1): You summon the Glory of God. After releasing the skill, the "God's Glory" field will be opened to a large area, lasting 30 minutes, with a cooldown of 1 day.
"Glory" destiny extraordinary people in the "God's Glory" field will have all attributes increased by an additional 20%, gain a 50% health shield, and gain a buff effect of increasing all damage caused by 20% and reducing all damage received by 20%;

【……】

【……】
When all the contents of the promotion to "Apostle of Divine Glory" emerged, the scenery in the distance, like a group of stars, began to shatter again.
The invisible force once again drove Luo Xiu out of the "Sea of Spirituality" unstoppably.
The picture in front of him shattered, and the obsidian hall and the giant pillars that carried the power quickly dissipated and lost in the gradually blurred vision, and his consciousness also fell deeply into the spiritual wilderness.
…
When he woke up again, Luo Xiu finally saw the familiar scene in the real world.
Hubert was in front of him, watching him quietly.
"My promotion...is complete."
Luo Xiu said to Hubert a little weakly:
"I opened that 'door' and finally stepped into the threshold of the saint."
...
