When Furan opened her eyes, she saw a book covered in text before her. The title of the book appeared on its surface—*Holy Light Prayer*.
The title was written in red lettering, while the text inside was black, and traces of handwriting remained on the pages.
"I praise the Lord of Radiance, for that light is warm like a furnace fire, and those blessed shall not fear the bitter cold..."
"We feel the mercy of our Lord, who allows believers under His illumination to be unharmed by blades and untouched by darkness..."
"I see those who are disrespectful..."
Furan briefly flipped through the book and, finding that it was all praise for a certain god, lost interest.
But after the light faded, she felt as if her body had changed.
She lightly summoned her Panel to check what new things she had acquired.
[Name: Furan
Class: Radiant Priest (One Star)... (Omitted)
Attributes: Constitution 3.7, Spirit 13.5
Skills: Howling Gale (Mastered) (Proficiency: 12/1000): Summons a gale to inflict strong, repeated cutting damage on the target.
Light-Praying Art (Proficient) (Proficiency: 3/10000)
Radiant Shield (Proficient) (Proficiency: 0/10000): Creates a shield on the body's surface upon use that can block all attacks.
Holy Strike (Proficient) (Proficiency: 0/10000): Attaches light to a weapon; upon striking an enemy, it erupts in fierce radiance, dealing damage.
Radiant Blessing (Proficient) (Proficiency: 0/10000): Guides divine power to slightly enhance the target's attributes.
Sacred Word Prayer (Proficient) (Proficiency: 0/10000): After reciting the *Holy Light Prayer*, the next Radiant-type Priest skill receives a certain bonus, the specific bonus depending on the sentence recited.
Radiant Ray (Proficient) (Proficiency: 0/10000): Condenses the power of light and shoots a ray toward the target... (Omitted)
Trait: Agent of the lord of radiance (God has chosen you, and you may also represent God.)
Light in the Blood (Light flows with your blood; whenever this light manifests outside the body, it causes your body to heal automatically.)
... (Omitted)]
Furan felt quite pleased seeing the large chunk of content added to her Panel.
She hadn't expected that her Radiant Priest class would actually increase her Constitution. Although the increase was small, it was still an increase.
Furthermore, her Spirit attribute was also affected, increasing by another small amount. Her Spirit had now reached a terrifying 13.5, far exceeding her Constitution.
She also received a pile of skills, which was easy to understand. Although she had previously obtained the Light-Praying Art from a book, this new book was already filled with text, meaning the god had naturally bestowed the skills upon her directly.
What puzzled her most was the Trait section. Light in the Blood was easy to understand—it was a passive self-healing ability. But what was the Agent of Radiance?
The information she had access to didn't even contain the term 'Agent,' which must be the result of that damned Factionalism at work.
The description of this Trait made it sound incredibly powerful. She could represent God?
This surprised her. She remembered that the first page of the documents she had read clearly defined these deities.
[The gods reside in the Astral Realm. They are not stars, yet they can represent stars. The principle of their birth is unknown.
In the Material Realm, They can only rely on believers; in the Spirit Realm, Their great power is unstoppable; in the Astral Realm, even Legends are but dust beneath Their feet.]
Furan raised an eyebrow. Although the description seemed powerful, she still didn't know what the Trait was for, nor did it offer any opportunities for her to borrow money by representing the Lord of Radiance.
At that moment, a line of golden text appeared on the book's cover.
[How about it? My power is mighty, isn't it? Should I tell you what Divine Arts there are and how to cast them?]
"No need."
Saying this, Furan began casting Divine Arts. Although it was her first time casting them, it felt as if she had done so hundreds of times before.
She first applied Radiant Blessing to herself, carefully sensing that the Divine Art provided a 5% bonus to all her attributes.
She then applied a shield to herself, putting on all the available buffs before continuing to speak.
"Alright, the Divine Arts you gave me are decent, but they still can't beat that Tier 2 dragon!"
Although she felt that the Divine Arts provided were quite comprehensive—with shields, damage, ranged attacks, a passive ability for automatic health recovery, and damage-boosting skills—the problem was that she felt they ranked at best as high-tier among Tier 1 abilities. There was no way they could defeat a Tier 2 monster.
The golden text on the book did not reply immediately but began flickering rapidly, seemingly in shock.
Furan knew that the god opposite her was probably wondering why she cast Divine Arts so proficiently and why she clearly understood the effects of every single one.
This was all thanks to her Panel. She felt that the god, like the Spirit Realm, had given her a large number of skills, but only knew that there was a mechanism like 'Enlightenment' that allowed her to release the skill by pressing it.
But she was different. Once registered on the Panel, all information was displayed, and it could even directly help her improve her casting technique, making it genuinely feel as if she had practiced for many years.
The golden text on the book jumped around before finally coalescing into a single sentence.
[That's not enough. You've only just recovered this Temple, and the people of Monsa haven't believed in me yet...]

Alant was still a bit confused when he was dragged out of the cell.
He was immersed in future sorrow and reflecting on the failure of this operation.
But suddenly, the door was opened, and several people rushed in and dragged all of them out.
His first reaction was: Had these past few days passed so quickly? How could it be time for the execution when he hadn't even seen the sun rise a few times?
Only when he regained his senses did he realize that the people who had dragged them out were strange.
They had developed some draconic features: some had grown wings, others sharp claws, and nearly all of them had dragon scales on their bodies.
These were the characteristics of the dragon transformation potion, Alant judged subconsciously after carefully identifying and sensing the strength of these individuals.
But he was also confused. While this was the effect of a normal dragon transformation potion, he knew that the dragon transformation potion appearing in this Trial might not be normal.
The Guards did not have these features, so they must have used some method to eliminate these characteristics, which usually provide some assistance.
So why did these draconic features suddenly appear on these people now?
Alant and the other Spirit Realm Rangers were led into a large room.
Then these 'Half-Dragon People' walked straight out, leaving only the Spirit Realm Rangers in the room.
Just as they were all baffled, wondering what this meant, the room door was pushed open, and a woman who also possessed draconic features walked in.
Only this time, the Spirit Realm Rangers recognized her: she was also a Spirit Realm Ranger.
"It's you!"
