"You don't need to worry about this at all." Valena smiled slightly, "These believers heard that the Holy Mother's Summer Palace is going to be built near the settlement, and they are all very excited, saying that they can finally accept the Holy Mother's blessing, and they are very eager to meet you, Holy Mother, to kiss the land you have walked on, and to admire your holy posture."

Luo Quan widened her eyes upon hearing this: "That doesn't need to be so exaggerated; does the land I walked on have the effect of prolonging life? It's really unhygienic; please don't do this."

"You don't know, Holy Mother." Fafreya took over the conversation, "In the Dawn Code, the Holy Mother is the purest and most flawless person in the world; the land she has walked on symbolizes the Heavenly Father's compassion for the world and is full of holiness and blessings.

Believers kissing the land is also to obtain this blessing; it's a good thing."

"So will you kiss it too?" Luo Quan looked at the Saint and the Bishop curiously.

"That wouldn't happen; I have other ways to obtain blessings." Bishop Valena shook her head and said.

The Saint's answer was: "When I was still a believer, I also kissed the land that the previous Holy Mother had walked on.

However, after I became the Saint, the previous Holy Mother left the Universe Star, and I didn't have this opportunity.

If the Holy Mother is questioning the firmness of my faith, I am very happy to prove it with actual actions."

Saying this, the Saint knelt down and crawled to Luo Quan's side.

"Don't, don't!" Luo Quan was quick-witted and hurriedly pulled the Saint up.

She was just making a joke; she didn't expect this Saint to be so straightforward, saying she would kiss it and then actually doing it.

If she really wanted a blessing, wouldn't kissing her face be more direct?

But if it were according to the Dawn Code, kissing her face would probably not be obtaining a blessing, but a proper act of blasphemy!

"Since you have all decided, then start the work here, but keep it a little further away from the believer settlement to avoid disturbing their lives."

Having said this, Luo Quan did not refuse the church's kindness again.

If Bishop Valena misunderstood her meaning and really moved these believers away, would it be okay if it spread out?

"The Holy Mother is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see poor believers, so after the Holy Mother's Summer Palace was built, she drove all the surrounding believers away."

Once this kind of rhetoric spreads, her reputation will be completely ruined.

In fact, she just didn't want to start a major construction project in this place that is like a paradise on earth, and then use the extravagant Summer Palace to pollute the pure hearts of these believers.

After all, as the Holy Mother, she still wants to bring some positive things to everyone.

However, seeing Bishop Valena so persistent, Luo Quan finally nodded and agreed.

After enjoying the bird's-eye view, Bishop Valena pulled with both hands, and everyone's perspective immediately moved from the sky to the front of the Summer Palace.

First, outside the Summer Palace, there is a perfect circular high wall, enclosing everything inside.

In the center of the ring is the location of the Holy Mother's Summer Palace; it is a symmetrical building with a spire, very Gothic in style, elegant and beautiful.

The color of the Summer Palace is white all over; looking from afar, it seems to be shrouded in a layer of white snow, blooming with holy white light under the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful." Luo Quan exclaimed involuntarily; thinking that this would be her new home in the Universe, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"It's even more beautiful inside." Bishop Valena smiled and pulled with her hands again.

The view moved to the interior of the Summer Palace, starting with the main hall.

"This is the holy hall where the Holy Mother listens to the prayers and confessions of believers; here you can spread the holy light and the teachings of the Heavenly Father to the believers and bestow blessings upon them."

Valena introduced to Luo Quan while walking: "There will be a pool in the center of the holy hall; after completion, the seeds of the Dawn Spring will be brought from the Holy City and placed in it. As long as you are here, Holy Mother, the Dawn Spring will continuously gush out from the pool, bringing health and faith to the believers."

"So this is water without a source?" Luo Quan asked curiously; she still couldn't understand why a spring eye would be connected to her existence; it couldn't be that because her name is Luo Quan, she would have quantum entanglement with this Dawn Spring, right?

Fafreya nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case, but it can also be regarded as being produced because of you, Holy Mother."

Valena continued: "In the holy hall and your bedroom, Holy Mother, there will also be many artworks created by believers.

These believers are all famous artists in human history, and these artworks are all authentic; if they can be illuminated by your radiance, Holy Mother, they will surely become more valuable."

"How can it be so magical." Luo Quan laughed, but she wasn't particularly interested inwardly.

She has never liked doing this kind of pretentious thing; after all, she herself could easily fill the entire holy hall with handed-down musical scores, paintings, and sculptures, and the signature would all be her own.

So there is absolutely no need to use the works of the Universe people to support her own scene.

By comparison, she prefers those powerful treasures.

For example, divine swords and holy armor that can improve combat power, or heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can quickly improve cultivation; these are all good.

But she was embarrassed to speak up and could only pin her hopes on whether Bishop Valena would know how to handle things.

Perhaps seeing that Luo Quan's interest was not very high, Bishop Valena really asked: "Holy Mother, these are all meeting gifts prepared for you by the Pope; what else would you like yourself?

No matter what kind of rare treasures they are, we can do our best to prepare them for you and then send them to the Holy Mother's Summer Palace!"

"This is already a lot; what else do I need?" Luo Quan waved her hand, pretending to be humble.

Valena smiled: "You are too simple, Holy Mother; this can only be considered basic treatment among the treatments of previous Holy Mothers.

Thinking back to those Holy Mothers a thousand years ago, most of the treasures they asked for were not in the church, and we even had to launch a holy war because of this."

"Such people can also be Holy Mothers!" Luo Quan was shocked, "Isn't that clearly trampling on human life for one's own selfish interests!"

Valena nodded in agreement: "So that was also the most turbulent period of our Dawn Church, and these Holy Mothers later became the typical examples in the scriptures of being bewitched by demons."

"That's a good reason." Luo Quan chuckled and instantly lost interest in asking for wealth, lest the Dawn Church launch another holy war or something because of her.

However, seeing Valena looking at her, Luo Quan felt that if she didn't speak up, she would think she was too embarrassed to ask and keep asking.

So Luo Quan decided to ask for some simple gemstones: "Just like gold and silver jewelry, diamond rings, necklaces, and the like will do; no need for too many or too good; after all, I only have one neck and ten fingers; I can't wear them even if there are more."

"Uh... Holy Mother, forgive my shallow knowledge; what kind of treasure is this diamond?" Valena suddenly looked troubled and asked Luo Quan.

She still knew about gold and silver; after all, the reserves of this stuff in the entire universe are fixed; use a little and there is a little less.

So even in the Universe civilization, it belongs to precious metals, and the price is not cheap; whether it is ordinary people or nobles, they all like to use it to make jewelry to show off their nobility.

But this diamond, she really hadn't heard of it; it sounds like a tool used with electric drills and well-drilling machines.

At this time, Luo Quan also remembered that diamond is a term on Earth; it might exist in the Universe, but it might not be called diamond, so she explained what this thing was.

When they heard Luo Quan say that this is carbon element produced under high temperature, extremely hard, and with a dazzling appearance, everyone suddenly realized.

"So it turns out the Holy Mother is talking about Shining Stone."

Valena called out the name of this kind of stone, while Saint Fafreya was tearful: "You are truly too simple, Holy Mother; in order to avoid wasting manpower and money, you actually only asked for Shining Stone as a gift.

Your noble character is truly beyond my reach!"

"Is this thing not worth much?" Luo Quan felt a drum in her heart and turned to ask Ye Zhining.

"Although Shining Stone looks beautiful, its preparation is too simple, and artificially made Shining Stone is far better looking than naturally generated ones.

If you like this kind of treasure, I can give you a Shining Planet; that is a planet twenty times larger than Earth, completely composed of Shining Stone."

"A diamond planet twenty times larger than Earth?!" Luo Quan's mouth grew as big as a hippopotamus; if fans were here, they would definitely shout that the Abyss Maw has reappeared in the world.

After listening to Ye Zhining's description, Luo Quan knew how cheap diamonds, or Shining Stones, were.

No wonder the Saint and the Bishop were so moved; I don't know if they were really moved or were laughing at her for not knowing the goods.

But compared to those Holy Mothers who made the Holy See launch holy wars to please them, her request was really easy to satisfy.

It can't even be called a request, but a mere lift of a finger.

After all, Ye Zhining could take out a diamond planet twenty times larger than Earth; even if the Dawn Church is a bit worse, letting the Divine Blessing Federation help raise funds, getting a diamond about the size of Earth is probably not a difficult matter.

At this time, Bishop Valena said: "You don't know the local customs of the Universe, Holy Mother, so it is understandable that the gifts you proposed have some deviations.

However, this does not mean that the Dawn Church will be stingy with your treatment; everything that should be given to you will not be missing.

In short, although Shining Stone is pure and dazzling, it is ultimately too cheap.

If you like similar treasures, Holy Mother, we can immediately start preparing."

"You guys decide; I'm afraid I'll make a joke again if I open my mouth." Luo Quan chuckled and decided to leave the solution to this problem to the Dawn Church.

She really didn't know what was precious in the Universe; if she accidentally asked for something worthless, it would be a laughing stock and a waste of time.

Hearing Luo Quan say this, Bishop Valena also nodded repeatedly, saying she would definitely report to the Pope and then give her a satisfactory answer.

"By the way, actually, rare treasures and such don't matter; what I really want are weapons and equipment, the kind that can improve combat power.

Or miraculous medicines; those that improve cultivation after eating them are also good."

Seeing that the topic was about to end and Valena still hadn't gotten what she really wanted, Luo Quan finally spoke up.

Valena was clearly stunned by Luo Quan's request, then smiled: "Your request is really special, Holy Mother; you actually want to directly improve personal combat power instead of those external things.

However, you don't know that the church attaches great importance to the safety of every Holy Mother; we will arrange at least ten Templars to protect your safety.

These Templars all practice the Templar War Method and can condense the phantom of a six-winged seraph; even a powerhouse at the Dao-Entering level cannot break through the defense line they form.

Besides that, you can also choose ten trusted close people to become Holy Servants; after passing the Road of Light Selection, these Holy Servants will obtain unparalleled power, and together they are enough to kill a powerhouse at the Dao-Entering level!

With these two protective forces, plus being in the territory of the Saint Tang Heavenly Dynasty, I believe no one can do you harm.

If you really feel it's not safe enough, you can also additionally recruit a Holy Crusade Army; after receiving the Holy Mother's blessing, the combat power of these Holy Sword Armies will far exceed that of ordinary holy monks.

When the quantity reaches a certain level, the power is also quite terrifying."

Originally, Valena thought that by giving three plans in a row, she could make the insecure Holy Mother feel at ease.

However, she still shook her head: "Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand; I still prefer the feeling of power being in myself; no matter how powerful others are, it is ultimately someone else's, not my own.

I always have times when I am alone; what if I encounter trouble at this time and the guards cannot support me in time? Wouldn't that be dangerous?

So improving oneself is the hard truth."

"But didn't the Pope give you a Dawn Meteor necklace?"

Valena looked at Luo Quan very uncomprehendingly: "This treasure not only has the effect of blocking a fatal blow for you, but after the shield disappears, it will also directly summon the Holy Paradise and teleport you directly to the church's holy land.

Please believe me, no one can hurt you there."

"I believe in the power of the Dawn Church, but I still prefer to believe in myself." Luo Quan insisted on her own thoughts.

Bishop Valena blinked and lowered her head: "I fully understand your thoughts, but you have just broken through to the third stage now; wanting to quickly improve your strength is not that simple.

Miraculous medicines can indeed be immediately effective, but this kind of behavior of pulling up seedlings to help them grow will always have a negative impact on your future cultivation limit.

So what specific methods to use and which path to take to reach the peak, these all need to be discussed in the long run; I really can't give you a definite answer for a while."

"It doesn't matter." Luo Quan smiled and shook her head, "I'm not in a hurry; this matter can be taken slowly; haste makes waste.

My idea is that you can give me some cultivation resources for me to use first; we can talk about the plan later."

Valena nodded: "If this is the case, I will report to His Majesty the Pope later and let him decide."
