Chapter 2098: The Legend of the Child of Light and the Doomsday Darkness, It's You, the Heretic!

"I'm the strongest being who has mastered Radiant Dao and a Monarch Class Transcendentalist. As I mentioned earlier, you have the potential to reach the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm within a hundred thousand years. However, that's if you can fully harness the Radiant energy within you. To achieve this, you will require proper guidance.

"As for this, I am the most suitable candidate you can find.

"Besides receiving my guidance, you can make use of the Holy Radiant Church's resources too."

Seeing Chu Kuangren's pondering look, the Radiant Goddess raised her offer.

Even the Radiant Right Sky King was a little shocked by that.

She opened her mouth, wanting to speak. However, she eventually chose to put her faith in the Goddess's judgment.

"For you to offer such favorable conditions, what is your goal?"

Chu Kuangren stared intently at the Radiant Goddess.

"My goal is to watch you improve and grow stronger," the Radiant Goddess said.

'I knew it. She really is after my body.'

Chu Kuangren pouted to himself. He believed in acts of kindness that did not require anything in return.

However, he did not believe it would happen between him and the Radiant Goddess.

After all, not long ago, he was busy fighting against the forces of the Radiant Church that she established.

"If you don't make those conditions clear, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here in this holy church peacefully."

"Alright. Have you heard of something called... the Doomsday Darkness?"

Chu Kuangren's eyes flashed. He gently nodded. "I have."

How could he not know of it?

After all, a portion of the Doomsday Darkness's power was present inside his body. However, why could the Radiant Goddess not detect its presence?

"I've helped you to conceal it from her." Lil Ai answered.

Chu Kuangren silently gave Lil Ai a big thumbs up. 'Well done, girl.'

His instincts told him it would be better if the Radiant Goddess did not discover the Doomsday Darkness inside his body.

"The Doomsday Darkness truly does exist. If it appears, light will be consumed from the world, plunging it into a doomsday apocalypse. According to the Radiant Tribe's prophecy, the only thing that can go against the Doomsday Darkness is... the Child of Light!"

'The Radiant Tribe?'

Chu Kuangren took note and remembered that name. Then, he asked, "Where's proof of this?"

"The Radiant energy inside your body is unimaginably pure and dense. It's as if you are the light itself. This is already proof."

Chu Kuangren finally understood the situation.

The Radiant Goddess wanted to nurture him as the so-called Child of Light so that he could fend off the Doomsday Darkness in the future.

"Interesting. What about my past hostilities with the church? Does it not bother you?"

"The light will forever be willing to accept a child who wandered astray."

For the Radiant Goddess, defeating the Doomsday Darkness was her greatest calling.

As for the Child of Light, he was the key to defeating the Doomsday Darkness.

Compared to that great calling, whatever Chu Kuangren did in the past could all be overlooked.

"Since you have sincerely offered me so, Honorable Goddess, I shall stay for a few days," Chu Kuangren said.

He might as well take advantage of the Holy Radiant Church's power to further master the Radiant energy inside his body.

"You will not regret this decision."

The Radiant Goddess stood up and left. Before that, she said to the servants, "Take care of the Child of Light."

...

"Do you have any doubts, Ming Fei?"

After the Radiant Goddess left, she noticed the odd look on the Radiant Right Sky King, Ming Fei's face.

Ming Fei nodded. "Yes, Goddess. Even if Chu Kuangren is the Child of Light, his actions before clearly show that he's a heretic. How can you be so sure that he'll help you defeat the Doomsday Darkness when he becomes stronger in the future?"

"The Child of Light will forever be against the Doomsday Darkness. At the end of the day, only one will be left standing. That's all you need to know."

The Radiant Goddess has made her words very clear.

She did not care whether Chu Kuangren was a heretic, a good person, or a bad one.

She only cared about one thing, and that was whether Chu Kuangren would be strong enough when the time came for him to face off against the Doomsday Darkness and whether he could prevent that great catastrophe!

"Understood." Ming Fei nodded.

...

The Holy Radiant Church was a huge location that existed somewhere in space in the Great Hongmeng Universe.

The place where Chu Kuangren resided was known as Yalan Palace.

Here, he gradually became familiar with the Radiant energy inside his body. That energy was so powerful that it allowed him to master the Radiant Great Dao, making him a Grand Dao Realm cultivator.

The first stage of the Grand Dao Realm was Life Mastery.

At that stage, he had gained control over his destiny, transcending the control of his home universe's Great Dao.

Having been a being that exceeded the bounds of his universe's Great Dao, Chu Kuangren did not obtain much from that.

After the Radiant Goddess left, the Radiant Right Sky King, Ming Fei, brought over a bunch of cultivation scriptures about Radiant Dao.

With Lil Ai's analysis and his high level of cognizance, Chu Kuangren eventually mastered all the Radiant Dao cultivation techniques. His speed of learning was unfathomable.

On that very day, Chu Kuangren was practicing his cultivation in an open space somewhere in the Holy Radiant Church.

He raised his hand, channeling large amounts of Radiant Great Dao energy into a white spear and launching it into space.

With just one attack, a huge explosion erupted in space.

His Radiant Dao power immediately shattered dozens of planets, and that was not even ten percent of Chu Kuangren's full strength.

Immediately after that, he began practicing another Radiant Dao cultivation technique.

His Radiant Great Dao energy surged, causing dozens of light beams to rise into the sky, eventually forming a great light prison.

Both the Radiant Goddess and Ming Fei were watching him from afar.

"He is more talented than I imagined," the Radiant Goddess said with a hint of nostalgia. "He's even more impressive than Ming Dao back in the day."

Ming Fei stood behind her, not uttering a single word.

Ming Dao was a forbidden name in the Radiant Tribe because it was the Dark Demonic Ruler's true name!

The Dark Demonic Ruler was once a genius of the Radiant Tribe. He possessed incredible talents and abilities, which only the Radiant Goddess herself was comparable to.

However, he became too addicted to researching the Doomsday Darkness.

Eventually, the Doomsday Darkness infected him, causing him to renounce the light and embrace the darkness. That was how he became the Dark Demonic Ruler everyone knew today!

He even established the Darkness Tribe, which had been against the Radiant Tribe and the Radiant Church!

In her rage, the Radiant Goddess removed every record of the Dark Demonic Ruler from the Radiant Tribe's scriptures. She, too, had been at war with him for countless years.

"Your Holiness, the Radiant Left Sky King seeks an audience with you."

One of the servants came in and said, "Let him in."

Soon after, the Radiant Left Sky King, dressed in golden robes, approached. He noticed Chu Kuangren practicing his cultivation nearby. However, because Chu Kuangren had his back toward him, the Radiant Left Sky King did not see his face. He just found the person's figure familiar.

"Speak. What's the matter?"

"Your Holiness, this is the intel the church obtained. It states that the Radiant Church, along with the Heavenly Formation Palace, Apocalypse Martial Society, and other forces, have discovered a Hongmeng Spirit World. However, the church has suffered great losses from the war with the Darkness Tribe. They wish to consult your Holiness on whether we should deploy Grand Dao elites to excavate the Spirit World."

"The Hongmeng Spirit World, huh? This can be a great opportunity to sharpen one's fangs."

Radiant Goddess looked toward Chu Kuangren nearby.

Feeling her gaze on him, Chu Kuangren stopped his cultivation and walked toward the crowd.

The Radiant Left Sky King was curious as to who the unfamiliar person in the holy church was.

At the sight of that person's face, his eyes widened in shock. "It's you, the heretic!"
