CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 570: IF YOU BLOSSOM, THE BUTTERFLIES WILL COME BY THEMSELVES_2

As for that pathetic power, he really doesn’t care for it.

Dark Corrosion, natural disasters, light and darkness, this world is incredibly interesting, and Lette just can’t let go.

"Divine Envoy, if there’s no issue, could I invite you to the Light Cathedral tomorrow to participate in the ceremony?

We’ve prepared a very fitting position for you.

Once you complete the ceremony, you’ll become a part of the upper echelons of the Light God Sect."

Upon hearing this, Lette slapped his thigh: "Your Holiness the Pope, this is truly wonderful. To be able to serve the Light Divine Court, and let the great light shine across the world.

I, would be honored!"

"Very well, then tomorrow morning, I’ll dispatch a procession to escort you. It’s settled."

The Pope, seeing Lette agree so readily, had joy filling his brow, and felt somewhat relieved.

It seems that he’s also a lover of power.

Since it’s a relationship that can be bound by the exchange of benefits, that means he’s a future ally, and everything can be negotiated.

No news could be more thrilling than this.

The Pope was truly afraid that Lette would be a resolute martyr, a fanatic that would be stubborn and unyielding.

He had met too many such people and had killed many more.

Once entangled by such people, the future would be dim indeed.

Fortunately, this Divine Envoy is not.

Indeed, he traveled thousands of miles for what they all covet.

To put it nicely, it’s like-mindedness.

To put it harshly, it’s collusion.

The Pope left joyfully, but not long after, Aloe hurriedly brought Jenny to the residence of the envoy.

"Divine Envoy, Divine Envoy!"

She shouted as soon as she entered, waking up the whole envoy.

"I heard you."

Lette stood on the second-floor balcony, hands behind his back, looking at the two in the courtyard: "Come up, let’s talk inside."

Seeing Lette, Aloe immediately pulled Jenny and rushed upstairs.

From the sound of footsteps at the stairway, it was clear that Aloe was very angry, on the verge of losing control.

Following her, Jenny had a helpless expression.

After seeing Lette, Jenny shrugged at him: "It’s your own mess, deal with it."

"My mess?"

Lette looked baffled: "I don’t recall doing anything absurd these days."

"You did! Divine Envoy! You just did something outrageous. How could you agree to them?

You... you!"

Aloe said, and tears burst forth, she couldn’t speak coherently through her sobs.

Lette helplessly looked at Jenny, who sighed, and explained the whole situation.

It turned out that after Aloe took Jenny home, she had a fierce argument with her father, the Red Archbishop.

The usually affectionate father-daughter duo found themselves at odds again over the interpretation of the Light Teachings and the future direction of the Light God Sect.

They argued from night until day and shouted from day until night, until the Light Knight Captain’s mother could no longer stand it and silenced them with a shoulder throw each.

Under the threat of another throw, the two hadn’t argued further for two or three days.

Of course, part of the reason was because both their voices were gone, unable to withstand another round of intense debate.

But to truly concede, that was impossible.

In fact, in the father-daughter battle, the Holy Daughter Aloe, being the daughter, held some advantage.

As a young genius, Aloe was greatly influenced by Lette’s Light Theory, learning quickly and even able to infer other principles.

And incidentally, she learned Lette’s sophistry.

Applying it slightly, she easily demolished the Red Archbishop’s arguments.

But, alas, his strong status advantage, being the head of the household and her superior outside, was undeniable.

In any case, both were highly focused on Lette’s activities these days.

It was needed for their work, and to find leverage against each other.

The calm three days passed quickly, and they both felt the process was too bland, lacking highlights.

Until just now, when Lette agreed to the Pope’s ceremony and prepared to formally join the Light God Sect and take a key position.

This indeed gave the Red Archbishop leverage and crushed his daughter.

Defeated in debate, Aloe was upset, which is why she sought out the Divine Envoy to get clarity.

Seeing Aloe still crying, Lette didn’t expect his actions would become ammunition for the father-daughter battle.

"Aloe, why do you dislike me joining the Light Divine Court?"

"Divine Envoy, I feel you shouldn’t collude with those people! If you join them, you’ll be tainted.

Is this your true intention?"

Lette laughed heartily, then looked down with a compassionate gaze.

"Aloe, do you remember when I spoke to you at the Holy Mountain?

In this world, there are many lights.

Lighthouses are light, torches are light, and the sun is also light.

Light guides the lost home. It tears apart the darkness and brings back a slightly warm harbor.

Right?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Lette extended his hand, and a sphere of light slowly appeared.

"But if a ship drifts into darkness, too far from the shore to see the lighthouse’s guiding light, how shall we save them?"

"This..."

"It’s simple, I’ll become the light."

Lette spread his arms, his entire being radiating holy light.

"I will board the ship! I will guide the way!

If darkness covers all, I shall be the last ray of dawn in that darkness, shattering it with thunder!

Bring the lost ships back to the world!

Remember, Aloe!

If we always stand outside the darkness, there will always be places light cannot reach.

Only by entering can we reach the darkest heart!

Only then can we truly, thoroughly dispel the darkness!

If not prepared to perish with the darkness, how can we battle it relentlessly?

As they say!

If I don’t enter the darkness, who will?"

Hearing this, Aloe knelt with a thud, tears the size of beans falling onto the floor.

"Divine Envoy! You are so great! Your noble soul is as blazing and magnificent as the sun!

I once doubted you, and now I am... ashamed beyond words!

Please punish me! Punish me severely!

Let me pay for my ignorance and foolishness!"

Hearing this, Lette stood before Aloe: "You should indeed be punished.

I will punish you by asking you to apologize to your father."

"Ah? What?! Why?"

"Your argument with him is your fault. I taught you knowledge not to win arguments, but to guide believers.

You focused only on winning or losing, forgetting the original purpose of faith.

If you’re like that with your father, how will you face the public?

Apologize to your father.

Not because your views are wrong, but because you shouldn’t immerse yourself in debates over right and wrong.

Your need to debate shows your lack of confidence in your views.

If you hold to your beliefs, how can others’ doubts shake you?

If you bloom, the butterflies will come."

Hearing this, Aloe felt she understood, yet also not quite.

This seemingly paradoxical yet philosophical statement excited her greatly.

"Divine Envoy, Aloe understands, Aloe will apologize to my father right now!"

After the Holy Daughter Aloe spoke, she turned and left; Lette quickly signaled Jenny to continue protecting her closely.

Jenny understood and swiftly followed.

But before leaving, she quietly left a stack of letters for Lette.
