Chapter 3055: Identity Card of the Kingdom of Radiance~
The main hall is the tallest building within the Great Temple and even the entire Holy City; it is in no way inferior to the skyscrapers of Xia Duo's hometown, yet it is even more magnificent.
A beam of Holy Light descended from the direction of the sun at the zenith, landing straight in the center of the main hall. At first, when outside, Xia Duo had simply assumed it was a lighting effect.
But upon entering the main hall, he discovered that the beam of Holy Light actually penetrated the building, landing in the center of the hall and converging upon a statue with a blurred face.
The reason it was blurred was mainly because the statue was wreathed in Holy Light, and Xia Duo dared not look directly at it, only vaguely perceiving the other's indistinct features.
He followed behind Divine Envoy Richi to bow before the statue, after which Richi continued his introduction: "The history of this statue can be traced back to the very beginning of the Kingdom of Radiance; it was established by the first group of my Lord's believers who reincarnated here."
"Fortunate to receive my Lord's pity and protection, the believers and followers who gathered thereafter grew more and more numerous, and only then did we have the Kingdom of Radiance of today."
So the Holy City was actually the initial starting point of the Kingdom of Radiance, and the Kingdom of Radiance was not originally established by the Lord of Radiance, but by believers who reincarnated here after death.
It was almost exactly the same as the development process of the Daxia Divine Kingdom!
Listening to Richi speak of the history of the Kingdom of Radiance, Xia Duo seemed to see the Daxia Divine Kingdom of tomorrow, standing alone in the Outer Planes, providing shelter for souls with compatible affinities.
By that time, the Daxia Territory in the Material Plane must have developed to be very prosperous as well!
It was not just the strength that was terrifying; the fact that one was constantly under the gaze of a Divine Envoy was even more terrifying.
……
And the Library, which should actually be called the Archives, preserves all the documents and materials of the Kingdom of Radiance; it is not just books, and only the parts open to the outside are considered a library.
If the Soul-Binding Spell is proven effective, there will be even more penalties.
"Of course, once you come into contact with other layers of the Holy City, the corresponding Permission Level will naturally be possessed."
"This here is the Rainbow Bridge, Mage Xia Duo, what have you thought of?"
……
"There is indeed a significant deviation between the rumors and the reality. As I just said, the entire Great Temple exists simultaneously within the Multi-layered Holy City. In such a situation, do you really think there is a need for a dedicated passage?"
In Xia Duo's understanding, it was actually an Identity Card for residents of the Kingdom of Radiance, but since he was an outsider and a living person from the Material Plane, this Holy Seal was kept separately, similar to a non-registered identification document.
However, Richi did not explain immediately, but instead said, "Let's go! I will take you to see the Rainbow Bridge, and you will likely be able to guess."
Just as Xia Duo wanted to say he didn't know, a squad of Divine Envoys covered in battle scars walked out from the rainbow. Seeing Richi to the side, they only nodded without speaking, and only stopped to bow when passing the statue of Divine Envoy Musi.
Fortunately, Xia Duo never thought about causing trouble in the Kingdom of Radiance, otherwise, he would be racking his brain right now on how to run away, rather than standing calmly in place waiting for the follow-up tour and explanation.
The so-called Rainbow Bridge is actually a Portal, manifesting as a rainbow that shoots straight into the sky, and no matter from which direction one looks at it, the arrangement of colors appears the same.
"Then how can one obtain full Permission Level?"
Seeing that Xia Duo was interested in the Multi-layered Holy City, Richi added more fuel to the fire, "What we are going to visit next is the Rainbow Bridge, which is rumored in the Li Jie to be able to traverse the Multi-layered Holy City."
Xia Duo looked at Richi curiously; he knew that since Richi mentioned this topic, he must be willing to reveal some information.
The vast majority of Divine Envoys do not need any Divine Magic or Spells to distinguish lies or see through disguises; using Divine Magic would make them even stronger, and it is very difficult to deceive them.
Speaking of this, Divine Envoy Richi's expression turned solemn as he looked at the angel statue not far away, "If the function of the Rainbow Bridge were merely to traverse the Multi-layered Holy City, how could it be possible for a Seraph Divine Envoy to guard it here long-term!"
"Your phrasing is a bit strange, but the meaning is correct. The main function of the Rainbow Bridge is not to traverse the Multi-layered Holy City, but to deploy personnel to or withdraw them from the Eternal Night Battlefield."
Although the Holy City has a record of Xia Duo's identity, if someone were to obtain this Holy Seal and then impersonate Xia Duo to come to the Holy City, the Holy City would not care, unless Xia Duo himself came to expose the fraud.
Because Xia Duo provided relevant data on the Soul-Binding Spell, although it has not yet been verified and recognized by the Holy City, this act itself was enough to earn him an entry qualification for the Library.
"Then the Rainbow Bridge is—"
It wasn't until that squad of Divine Envoys left that Xia Duo reacted, suddenly realizing and saying, "So the Rainbow Bridge is the Kingdom of Radiance's rapid troop deployment system!"
After all, the identity corresponding to the Holy Seal is Xia Duo; a fake is ultimately a fake.
……
At the moment, he only obtained one Holy Seal, which is different from the Blessing Holy Seal that Divine Envoy Taide gave him before; the Holy Seal obtained this time is called the "Radiant Seal".
After seeing the main hall, Xia Duo, under Richi's guidance, visited the Judgment Court and the Library in succession; the former is the highest authority in the Holy City, and currently, Richi works in the Holy City Management Department under the Judgment Court.
The next moment, the angel statue actually emitted a crisp metallic sound—"Granted!"
Just as Xia Duo thought Richi was about to start his explanation, the other party actually bowed to the angel statue: "Lord Musi, I am bringing this mortal Mage to visit the Rainbow Bridge; please forgive any disturbance!"
The Library and the Rainbow Bridge are not in the same area of the Great Temple, but visiting other places along the way meant it didn't take much time to go directly there.
"Mage Xia Duo should have heard the rumors about the Multi-layered Holy City. That rumor is true; this library, or rather the entire Great Temple, exists simultaneously within the Multi-layered Holy City. Your reading permission only allows you to see books collected in the Primary Holy City."
No wonder no one has ever been able to sneak through the Rainbow Bridge without permission! With a high-level Divine Envoy staring at it twenty-four hours a day, where would there be an opportunity to sneak through!
Bypassing the angel statue, one arrives at the square where the Rainbow Bridge is located.
"Could the Rainbow Bridge also exist simultaneously in the Multi-layered Holy City? Does Divine Envoy Richi's meaning seem to be telling me that the rumors about the Rainbow Bridge are not true?"
Xia Duo was startled, not because he was frightened by the statue speaking before him, but because he remembered that there were countless similar statues in the Holy City. If every one of them represented a high-level Divine Envoy, that was what was truly terrifying!
However, it is not an easy thing to commit fraud in the Holy City. Radiant Priests in the Mortal Plane have Divine Magic like the Perception of Reality to distinguish lies, and the Divine Envoys of the Holy City go without saying.
Very soon, Xia Duo arrived in front of a large square under the guidance of Divine Envoy Richi, and stopped before a tall angel statue leaning on a sword with both hands.
