"Wu~"
The refreshing breeze of the Heaven Realm blew across the entire square, and a melodious bell sounded from the distant bell tower.
Around the Angel Kingdom, the mist unique to the Heaven Realm kept rolling. From time to time, unknown small creatures would fly over the mist.
In the vast square, hundreds of Angels maintained an orderly formation. All of them knelt on one knee and slowly chanted ancient syllables.
Everything was so harmonious and quiet.
Ian was in a daze.
He hadn't lived with the Angels long, but through Karris's introduction, Ian knew that the Angels were born warriors.
These beautiful creatures were usually very attractive.
But on the battlefield, they were all brave, fierce, and valiant.
However, Ian did not expect this group of beautiful and brave living beings to have such a pious side.
While the angels prayed piously to the statue, Ian secretly sized up the eighteen-winged angel statue in front of him.
As they were too close, Ian could only look up.
The huge statue was almost unreachable in Ian's eyes.
The 18 wings on the back of the sculpture spread out like sharp blades, and its eyes seemed to be looking down.
The huge flaming sword in its right hand was like a lightsaber that could cut through everything at any moment!
He looked down on everyone with an awe-inspiring aura!
This was the evaluation Ian gave in his heart.
He couldn't help but sigh. "What kind of existence did the angel race lead when the person the statue represented was alive?"
The 18-winged angel was the highest form of the entire angel race. Its physical strength was even comparable to the 12 Main Gods.
Karris had even mentioned that once the supreme form of the eighteen-winged angel was completed, it was even qualified to compete with the Divine King!
Ian did not know what kind of concept that was, nor did he know how powerful the so-called Divine King was.
However, since this statue was an eighteen-winged angel, it must have been one of the strongest experts of the angel race when it was alive.
Moreover, since it could be worshipped by the entire angel race, it meant that not only was the original body of this statue powerful, but it also possessed some kind of powerful spirit or charisma.
However, he did not know who had such an existence.
Just as Ian was thinking about this, something unexpected happened!
Ian saw with his own eyes that as the angels prayed, the huge statue in front of him actually emitted a faint golden light!
The light first appeared in the statue's eyes before slowly covering its entire body like flowing water.
Then, the light around the statue surged!
Buzz!
In an instant, an almost inaudible buzz sounded from the statue. At the same time, the layer of light that enveloped the statue suddenly erupted!
Bright golden light covered the entire square, enveloping all the angels in front of the sculpture.
In the next moment, the angels who were covered by the light surged in strength!
Ian could feel that the group of angels seemed to have broken through a bottleneck. The divine power that belonged to the angels seemed to be emitted from every angel.
Even Marlena, who was hugging him, was glowing.
Marlena's strength also increased rapidly in the light.
"Great, the Spirit Purification Ceremony is a success!"
Feeling the increase in strength in her body, Marlena stood up happily.
How many years had it been!
It had been so many years since the Angel Race began to decline!
The Spirit Purification Ceremony had finally succeeded again!
Following Marlena's cheer, hundreds of angels cheered.
"This, this must be the power of the Holy Son!"
"That's right, it's the Holy Son. The Holy Son must have awakened the statue!"
"The prophecy did not lie to us. The Holy Son is the hope of our race. Our race will definitely prosper in the future!"
At this moment, be it the older generation of angels or the new generation of angel warriors, they all looked at Ian.
Before Ian appeared, every year's Spirit Purification Ceremony had never succeeded.
And now, once Ian had appeared, the Spirit Purification Ceremony had succeeded.
Therefore, the angels immediately thought that everything was brought about by Ian. Otherwise, why would the Spirit Purification Ceremony succeed with Ian's appearance?
When the two impossible coincidences were put together, it naturally made sense.
For a moment, the group of angels didn't bother praying. They came to Marlena and stared at Ian with burning eyes.
Gulp!
Ian swallowed.
I once had a dream. In my dream, I was surrounded by a group of angels. Their peerless faces appeared before my eyes. I could even feel the aura of angels…
For some reason, these words appeared in Ian's mind.
Suddenly receiving the attention of countless beautiful angels made him dizzy.
Ian quickly shook his head and revealed a sweet smile.
Seeing that the angels had made a breakthrough in their strength, Ian was sincerely happy for them.
After all, he was now dependent on the angels for survival. Whether Ian was willing or not, he and the angels were on the same boat.
As the angel race became stronger, it also meant that his backing had become stronger.
On the other hand, if the angels continued to decline or even go extinct, Ian's future would be very difficult.
Although he was not a member of the angel race, how could there be a perfect egg when the nest was overturned?
Those fellows who coveted the angel race would not let him off.
At this moment, Ian's ears were filled with the chattering of the angels. If not for the fact that he was still in front of the statue, the angels would have rushed to hug him.
However, just as the angels and Ian were immersed in excitement, things changed again.
The dazzling light on the tall eighteen-winged angel statue instantly converged. Then, as if it had been reborn, the light suddenly erupted again!
This scene shocked the angels present!
In the past, after the Spirit Purification Ceremony ended, the light on the statue would slowly converge, and after it converged, it would return back to normal.
But what was going on today?
Why would the Holy Light erupt a second time?
However, before everyone could turn around, the light on the statue gathered in one place and formed a pillar of light that suddenly poured into Ian's body!
Seeing this scene, the angels were all stunned.
This statue contained the holy power of an angel.
Marlena had previously told everyone that Ian was not from the angel race but from the human world.
Could this be the uniqueness of the Holy Son?
Not to mention the angels, even Ian himself was stunned.
The Spirit Purification Ceremony was used by the angels to increase their strength, but he was not an angel. How could this have anything to do with him?
