Chapter 3059: Golden Dragon Divine Envoy, Regional Integration
"Divine Envoy Kafa!"
"It's actually you?!"
Kafa was clearly also surprised by Xia Duo's appearance here. More importantly, he had sensed the Radiant Seal on Xia Duo; he had not expected that upon meeting again, the other party would have obtained the official status of the Kingdom of Radiance, and as a mortal at that.
"It is me. May I ask, Divine Envoy Kafa, are you here to find me?"
"Yes!"
Mentioning business, Kafa's mood became more complex. "I am on duty today. I just sensed a spacetime fluctuation in the Holy City and came to investigate. I didn't expect it to be you!"
"Spacetime fluctuation? Is it this city district ahead?"
Xia Duo somewhat suspected that the Golden Dragon City District ahead, which differed greatly from Netherese style, was the direct cause of the Holy City's spacetime fluctuation, but he also found it hard to believe. What right or ability did he have to cause such a major change in the Holy City?
But if this Golden Dragon City District had existed all along, then why would Divine Envoy Kafa speak of a spacetime fluctuation?
Seeing that Xia Duo was still in doubt, Kafa had an obligation to explain. "Yes, just now the spacetime around you changed, and the city district in front is a part of that change!"
Hearing this answer, Xia Duo's confusion deepened, and he hurriedly pressed, "Divine Envoy Kafa, are you saying that this city district ahead was created because of me?"
"This question is a bit complicated to explain. Simply put, yes, but not entirely. Let's go! Let's find a place to sit in the city district ahead, and I will explain it to you slowly!"
Saying this, Kafa walked toward the Golden Dragon City District first. Xia Duo's curiosity had been piqued, so he followed right behind.
To be honest, a Divine Envoy and a mortal standing in the street was indeed a bit too eye-catching. Xia Duo himself didn't really care about such things, but in the Holy City, this probably didn't count as orderly behavior.
……
Entering the Golden Dragon City District, Xia Duo had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if the scenes he had once seen in Saville's memories had turned into reality, and yet this reality might have been born because of him.
As they walked, a tall humanoid creature with a dragon head and dragon wings on its back suddenly intruded into the path Xia Duo and Kafa were taking.
Kafa greeted the other party familiarly. This scene once again increased the doubt in Xia Duo's heart; if Kafa and the other party knew each other, then was this Golden Dragon City District still born because of him?
But if it wasn't, then why did Kafa say that just now?
To be honest, the gains from this trip to the Outer Planes had already exceeded the sum of the previous several times, even giving Xia Duo a feeling of subverted cognition. This feeling did not arise from nothing, but because what he had seen and heard this time was truly too exaggerated.
Soon, Divine Envoy Kafa found a platform extending from a slender, tall tower. Of course, the "slender" and "platform" here were relative to golden dragons; for a human-sized being, it was still very huge.
Even the Golden Dragon Divine Envoy who had just greeted Divine Envoy Kafa was a full three meters tall in non-dragon form, a head shorter than Divine Envoy Kafa.
Only Xia Duo, although considered tall among ordinary humans, still paled in comparison to the Divine Envoys. Most of the Divine Envoys he had seen so far were taller than him—not counting those like the Holy Light Divine Envoys who did not possess a human form.
……
The Golden Dragon Divine Envoy did not keep following Xia Duo and the others; halfway there, he transformed into a golden dragon and left. Xia Duo watched the other party go, seeing him finally land on the highest tower in the Golden Dragon City District, motionless, like a golden Statue.
Xia Duo himself came with Divine Envoy Kafa to a platform extending from the waist of a slightly shorter tower on the edge of the Golden Dragon City District. From here, one could overlook the entire Golden Dragon City District, and even other regions further away.
"You must have many questions, right? For example, why I think that Golden Dragon Divine Envoy 【is who he is】, and why this city district is like this. I will answer these questions one by one."
Upon arriving, Divine Envoy Kafa did not break his word and immediately began to explain. "Let's start from the root of it all—the Kingdom of Radiance. What kind of state do you think the existence of the Kingdom of Radiance is?"
"It should be built from nothing by Reincarnators who practice the path of the Lord of Radiance, right!" Xia Duo pondered for a moment and gave this answer.
Because he really wasn't very clear about what state the Kingdom of Radiance was in; he hadn't even fully figured out the Daxia Divine Kingdom, which was closely related to him!
Fortunately, this question didn't really require Xia Duo to give a very correct answer; it was just a clue Kafa gave to guide his thinking. Kafa did not evaluate Xia Duo's answer but gave his own explanation—
"The Kingdom of Radiance exists in the beliefs of all my Lord's believers and followers. They believe there should be such an orderly kingdom, so the Kingdom of Radiance was born, and then my Lord granted it protection.
"However, among so many of my Lord's believers and followers, whose kingdom is the most in line with my Lord's path? This question is something only my Lord can answer, but He will not make decisions for us; He will only give reminders when we deviate from order.
"Speaking of this, you should have already thought of it: the current Kingdom of Radiance is actually jointly shaped by the beliefs of all my Lord's believers and followers."
Hearing this answer, Xia Duo felt deeply shocked, not entirely because of the Kingdom of Radiance, but because he thought that if the Outer Planes could create a new kingdom based solely on thoughts and beliefs, then wouldn't the Ziyou Wangguo be very easy to realize?
The Outer Planes lacked the physical gravity of the Material Plane; as high as thoughts could fly, the boundaries of a kingdom could extend just as far.
Suddenly, Xia Duo thought of the Boundless Wilderness. This was indeed an infinitely vast territory, but it was likely more related to the limits of thought; its essence might be closer to "nothing is outside its greatness, nothing is inside its smallness."
"Then, such a massive city district, could it be shaped by the power of one person alone? How do you explain that Golden Dragon Divine Envoy?"
"Xia Duo, since you already know the essence of the Kingdom of Radiance, do you still not understand the essence of the Outer Planes? It is actually the same as the Kingdom of Radiance, only the subject of the shaping is different. The Outer Planes are shaped by the deepest thoughts and beliefs of all Souls after being filtered through the Astral Plane."
Having said this, even if Xia Duo were slow, he understood. It was very close to his previous guess, which was—this Golden Dragon City District had actually existed all along.
It was just that, before today, this Golden Dragon City District might not have belonged to the Kingdom of Radiance, until it merged into the Kingdom of Radiance through his connection just now.
As for why the Golden Dragon Divine Envoy knew Kafa, Xia Duo speculated it might be because of the Lord of Radiance. After all, Divine Envoys could not be created out of thin air; they were essentially an extension of the Lord of Radiance's power, or rather, the Lord of Radiance found a controller for His spare power.
The promotion of a Divine Envoy must have obtained the consent of the Lord of Radiance.
To put it more bluntly, that Golden Dragon Divine Envoy was very likely promoted by the Lord of Radiance Himself during the process of this Golden Dragon City District merging into the Kingdom of Radiance.
In this situation, it was not strange that the other party knew Divine Envoy Kafa.
Essentially, all Divine Envoys know each other.
