"You seek our alliance, yet the Realm of Light has long stood apart from others," the Sovereign said.
Renxue stepped forward, her golden spear glowing. "Isolation won't save you from the Shadow God. Together, we can protect the God Realm."
The Light Sovereign hesitated, then spoke. "Prove your purity and resolve in the Trial of Light. Only then will we join you."

At the trial's end, the Light Sovereign smiled. "You have proven your worth. The Realm of Light will stand with you."
