Chapter 2097
Chu Kuangren was not surprised by the Radiant Goddess's arrival.
After all, he had learned of his current situation from Lil Ai, and it was normal to encounter the Radiant Goddess inside the Holy Radiant Church.
Now, he was busy coming up with countermeasures in his mind.
If the Radiant Goddess wanted to deal with him, he had no choice but to leave.
'I wonder if I can contact the Divine Destiny Temple and leave this place.'
If he could not do that, he could only use the Tempest King's willpower manifestation to do so.
However, he did not know how long it could last.
'This willpower manifestation can kill everything below the Monarch Realm, so what about... a Monarch Realm cultivator?
"Are you... the heretic?"
The Radiant Goddess looked at Chu Kuangren in front of her and suddenly asked.
Chu Kuangren was shocked that she knew about him being the heretic that had been going against the Radiant Church.
'Oh, right.'
He had the Darkness Ruler Amulet with him, so it was no surprise that she knew who he was.
'This is good. I was just thinking about how to conceal my identity, but it looks like I don't need to worry about that anymore.'
"What? The heretic!"
"How can he be the heretic? There's such a powerful Radiant aura coming from his body."
"That's right..."
The female servants beside them started to debate.
However, the Radiant Right Sky King did not hesitate. She immediately stepped forward with an ice-cold look on her face.
There was without a doubt that she would become the most terrifying killer weapon with just an order from the Radiant Goddess.
"There's no need to worry, Ming Fei."
The Radiant Goddess patted the Radiant Right Sky King's shoulder and looked at Chu Kuangren with immense curiosity.
He was clearly a heretic who went against the Radiant Church, yet he suddenly possessed such a dense Radiant aura as if he was the embodiment of light.
It made her interested in the secrets behind that drastic change.
"Sit," the Radiant Goddess said while pointing to a stone stool nearby.
Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before he sat down. Then, he said calmly, "So, Honorable Goddess, what are you planning to do with me now?"
"You can start by telling me where my foolish younger brother is and how you met him."
'Foolish younger brother?'
Chu Kuangren froze for a moment. When he realized who it was she was referring to, he was stunned.
'The Dark Demonic Ruler is the Radiant Goddess's younger brother?'
'Now, this is a shocking piece of news!'
"I met the Demonic Ruler purely out of coincidence, so I'm not sure where he is at the moment," Chu Kuangren lied.
"In that case, why has he given you his Ruler Amulet?"
"He wants me to find him some recovery items."
As for that, Chu Kuangren did not attempt to hide it.
'Lies should contain a mix of truth and falsehood to make it difficult for people to distinguish what's true.'
"As I thought, he still hasn't fully recovered." The Radiant Goddess seemed to have expected it. As the one responsible for his injuries, she would surely be the one to understand his condition the most.
"Where do you get your Radiant aura from?"
"This is a power that has been hidden inside my body. It only revealed itself recently."
"Why are you opposing the Radiant Church?"
"What else can I do?" Chu Kuangren shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression, "You guys have been trying to kill me from the very start. Did you think I was going to stand there and let you do whatever you want?"
The Radiant Goddess pondered for a while and thought his actions were reasonable.
She then channeled a ray of white light at her fingertip and instantly shot it into Chu Kuangren's body, inspecting him thoroughly.
It might be hard to tell at first glance, but upon close inspection, she was shocked.
Every inch of his flesh, every strand of his hair, and every cell inside his body was brimming with a dense Radiant aura!
Even the Radiant Goddess did not possess such a body.
'It's as if he's the embodiment of light.'
'No, there's no as if.'
'He is the living embodiment of light!'
The Radiant Goddess was astonished.
Immediately afterward, she looked at Chu Kuangren with a fiery gaze. It was as if she was looking at a priceless treasure.
Chu Kuangren could not help but shiver under her gaze. The Radiant Goddess did not seem to want to kill him. However, that gaze of hers...
He shuddered.
"Lil Ai, the Radiant Goddess is not lusting after my body, right?"
"No, no. I'm a man with a family, for heaven's sake. I must not give in. Although the Radiant Goddess is powerful, I'll summon the Tempest King's willpower thought form and fight for my life."
Lil Ai felt speechless when she heard Chu Kuangren venting his concerns. "Master, please compose yourself."
"Your body... It's exceptional."
The Radiant Goddess looked at Chu Kuangren and said with uncontrollable excitement.
Startled, Chu Kuangren quickly said to Lil Ai, "Look, Lil Ai, what I said is true! This Goddess is really after my body!"
"Analyzing the current situation, planning optimal retreat strategy..."
"Strategy one obtained, simulating... Strategy one unsuccessful."
"Strategy two obtained, simulating... Strategy two unsuccessful."
"Strategy thirty-three obtained, simulating..."
Within an instant, Lil Ai had simulated dozens of retreat strategies.
The female servants, too, were shocked to hear what the Radiant Goddess said.
'Has her Holiness... regained the passions and vitality of her youth?'
Even the Radiant Right Sky King's gaze toward Chu Kuangren slowly turned cold.
However, the Radiant Goddess was calm. She was not the least conscious about what she said. "Your body is filled with endless Radiant energy. This energy is extremely powerful, and if its potential is fully unleashed, you can surely reach the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm within a hundred thousand years!"
The Grand Dao Realm was categorized into the Life Mastery, Supreme Spirit, Supreme God, Supreme Saint, and Supreme Honorable stages.
Cultivators in the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm were second only to the Monarch Realm cultivators, and achieving such a level was hard.
It was not achievable with time and effort alone.
Too many factors had to be considered, such as Opportunities of Fortune, level of understanding, talents, and more. Not one of those factors could be missing.
Becoming a Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm in a hundred thousand years?
If word about that spread, people would think she was crazy.
However, those words were spoken by none other than the Radiant Goddess. All everyone could do was look at Chu Kuangren in shock and admiration.
"I can't believe he has such potential!"
"Becoming a Grand Dao Supreme Honorable cultivator in a hundred thousand years? This person is more talented than the Radiant Right Sky King."
"That's right. This is just inconceivable."
The Radiant Right Sky King frowned as she looked at Chu Kuangren. However, she remained silent.
Chu Kuangren shot her a glance. 'She seems to bear some hostility towards me.'
However, it was not too strong.
"Oh, you're too kind, Honorable Goddess. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Chu Kuangren smiled, stood up, and was about to leave.
However, he discovered that a Radiant Enchanted Barrier had been cast around him.
With his current level of strength, it would take him a lot of time to break through that enchanted barrier.
"A person of your talent and caliber should remain in the Holy Radiant Temple. I can personally teach you how to wield the Radiant power contained inside your body," the Radiant Goddess said.
'Personally teach me?'
As soon as he heard those words, even Chu Kuangren found the treatment too good to be true.
The Radiant Goddess was not just anyone.
She was a Monarch-class Transcendentalist and one of the most powerful beings in the Infiniverse. If she wanted to have a disciple, the line of hopeful individuals would stretch as far as most of the entire universe.
Chu Kuangren could not help but ponder.
The Radiant energy inside his body was extremely powerful, but wielding it was still a problem for him.
It was similar to his vitality qi back then.
His vitality qi was extremely powerful, but it became stronger after he obtained the Vitality Qi Divine Celestial.
The same thing could be said for his Radiant energy.
