He had the most legendary carving master out of the entire Aoqi mainland carve his visage, yet there was no way to portray his personage. Although he was just sitting there quietly with his eyes closed, nobody could ignore his existence.

Those angels watched him with unconcealed longing and adoration.

"En?" He seemed to feel something. His eyelids slightly trembled, and he opened his eyes.

That pair of golden eyes were more dazzling than any kind of light in the world.

He felt a pure power of faith. It had already been a long time since believers could bring him such a cozy feeling.

The Light God curiously looked for the source of this faith. He saw a human girl piously praying at his own image with her head lowered. That steady flow of faith was coming from her body.

Suddenly, there was an intense feeling that welled up in the Light God's heart. He felt like he should recognize her. He wanted to see what the girl looked like.

God's wish was only a thought but Gu Shengyin suddenly lifted her head.

The Light God stared at her appearance, entranced: Her long golden hair was carefully bundled up behind her head, and a silver, delicate chain adorned with a sparkling and translucent blue-colored crystal was on her forehead. Even more clearer than the crystal was her pair of eyes that looked like the azure sky, as if all ten thousand things could be seen by her eyes.

This girl possessed beauty that even the angels of Heaven wished for.

The Light God frowned at his thoughts. He felt that she should not look like this. However, if she didn't grow up into this appearance, then what should she look like?

Long black hair? There was this thought in his mind.

Wait, wasn't that the color of darkness?

The Light God couldn't help but laugh. No one could conceal anything in front of God. This girl had an innate Light body and could not be related to the Dark.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that the girl had already finished her prayers and was about to get up.

Right now, Gu Shengyin very much wanted to cover her face with her hands. She actually began praying in front of so many people without any scruples. Surely at this moment, those of the Vatican would be under the impression that she was a person full of tricks.

She let out a sigh. No matter what, for the position of the Holy Saintess' seat, she still had to try her best.

Just as she was about to turn and leave —

A ray of light rose from the scepter in the hand of the portrait of God and projected towards Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin's entire body was immersed in dense light. This felt too comfortable that she couldn't help but groan.

As he watched her eyes fall half-shut in satisfaction, the Light God gently laughed, his eyes held a touch of love that even he was not aware of.

The angels in Heaven looked at each other in dismay. They did not know what happened to actually make God so happy.

In the Great Hall, everyone was stunned by this scene. In addition to the Bishop and the Saintess candidates who had arrived with Gu Shengyin, the Pope and the red-clothed Cardinals had rushed towards the Great Hall when they sensed it.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Gu Shengyin, who was being baptized by the Light God under the shrine.

"God!" The Pope immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

The rest of the people snapped out of their daze and also knelt on the ground.

The Light God did not pay attention to them. He sensed that his believer was unable to bear more Light power and withdrew his holy Light.

Gu Shengyin opened her eyes with a blank face.


Chapter 4

She did not understand what had just happened.

"System?" She asked hesitantly.

System: "The host has received the most powerful gift of the world — the Light God's love."

Gu Shengyin: "It's really unintentional..."

The idols had been restored to their original state and the bishops stood up one by one.

Gu Shengyin only felt that the holy-looking, white-haired Pope was staring at her like she was a rare treasure.

She unconsciously inched in the opposite direction, and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something different about her body.

The Pope seemed to understand her misgivings, and used holy magic to form a light mirror, allowing Gu Shengyin to see her reflection.

Her facial features had not changed, but upon her porcelain forehead, there suddenly appeared a golden God insignia. The gilding was complex and gorgeous, with a shining radiance. Embellishing Hathaway's originally peerless face, she was now even more beautiful and holy.

This was the honor that God gave his most beloved.

The Pope had already collected himself. He smiled and looked at Gu Shengyin. "Child, are you Hathaway?"

Gu Shengyin curtsied to him and nodded her head.

The Pope, who had been examining Gu Shengyin, was discomforted by her curtsy. Where in the world would there be someone who could afford her curtsy?

The Pope made a decision and he turned away, avoiding Gu Shengyin's curtsy.

He saw the surprised eyes of the bishops behind him, but the Pope did not explain. His knowledge in Light magic was close to the level of a demigod, so naturally he could have a higher perception of certain things.

Just as Gu Shengyin was curtsying to him, he instinctively knew that if he accepted her curtsy, he would receive extremely bad consequences.

"The status of the Holy Saintess of the Holy Church is on par with this old man's position. Hathaway, you do not need to curtsy to me." The Pope kindly told Gu Shengyin.

This statement directly recognized (confirmed) Gu Shengyin's status as the Saintess.

The Red Cardinals behind him held no disagreements. They had all seen clearly. The Light God himself had placed his holy blessing upon her, indicating that she was recognized and the God was satisfied with this candidate.

At this point, their opinions were no longer relevant.

However, the other candidates were discontent.

"Why? Isn't there still another test? We haven't been tested, so why have we been eliminated?" A girl standing next to Heidi was not convinced.

Heidi sneered internally. Although she shared the same opinion as this girl, it was brain-dead behavior to say such words at this time.

Sure enough, the Pope looked at them coldly. He was only polite to Gu Shengyin because she was a Saintess favored by the God of Light. The girl actually dared to question the decision of the Holy Church.

His voice darkened: "This is the will of the Light God. If you have doubts, you may question God."

The girl instantly shrunk in on herself. Raise an objection to God? Everyone had seen just now that God was very satisfied with Hathaway, and he personally placed the blessing of God upon her.

If she went to pray, God probably would not even give her a look.

Gu Shengyin's appointment as the Holy Saintess was settled.

Like the original story, Heidi and another girl named Vivian became personal maids of the Saintess.
