The meeting lasted from late at night until the early hours of the morning, and judging from the atmosphere, it was time to end.

During this time, Ron vaguely heard things like monthly large-scale inspections and the distribution of divine magical artifacts...

These matters were nothing more than distractions to Ron, and finally he saw all the officials stand up.

Is the interim joint meeting finally over?

The group of officials seemed to be waiting for the Pope to speak.

It's the same old story, almost always. Unlike when facing two empresses, this time, I should just be more natural. (?? ??)

Ron's eyes remained slightly narrowed, as if he had genuinely been dozing off, but his words were as usual, seemingly profound yet actually casual: "Gentlemen, the duchy is your duchy, there's no need to look at me like that..."

"Since we rarely get together, I, Ron, hereby declare that if you have any free time, you are welcome to visit my Sandy Territory. I, Ron, will certainly have my people treat you well."

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope."

"We have long admired His Holiness the Pope's territory and will certainly visit it with generous gifts."

"..."

The one who arrived with such generous gifts was Harry, the president of the Magic Crystal Guild. The others offered only verbal compliments, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to be interested in Sandy Territory as well.

Ron stood up after speaking and was the first to leave. In fact, the others were waiting for him, since he was the Pope.

"No need for formalities, everyone is a guest... Goodbye, everyone!"

...

Soon, only a portion of the high-ranking officials of the United Principality remained at the scene, and Yuna naturally followed Ron.

The remaining people actually discussed it for a while: Why would Pope Ron suddenly extend an invitation?

The duchy is your duchy, there's no need to look at him like that... Could it be that Pope Ron is really just fulfilling his religious duties like this?

Thinking it best to promote His Holiness the Pope's name more often, even though His Holiness the Pope didn't mention promoting His Holiness's name even once during the joint conference...

...

After discussing the Pope's words, these people talked about cooperating with the Carlo Magic Empire, and naturally the Vita Continent was mentioned at the meeting.

An unimaginable imperial expedition, the newly formed duchy's decision to cooperate, military rations, magical weapons, personnel recruitment...

The meeting was too important, and there were still many things to do. These people naturally understood the importance of the barrier. Seeing that they would not leave anytime soon, President Pigu of Yaheng once again activated the barrier with magic.

"The Tulip Merchant Guild will be managing the affairs of the Duchy through its agents. President Yuna mentioned this at the previous meeting. What do you think we should do?"

The president of the Magic Crystal Guild spoke first: "Our Magic Crystal Guild does not have agents in the New Principality; I, Harry, will personally oversee things..."

...

...

These guys actually talked more openly after they learned that Yuna had left with them. Tulip had a papal-level power behind it, so some things were really hard to discuss.

Finally, at dawn, people saw the Conrad Chamber of Commerce and the Darren Chamber of Commerce leaving the capital building one after the other.

Harry, the president of the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild, also wanted to buy Soul Stones from Piggu, the president of the Asia Merchant Guild.

"No, no, His Holiness the Pope means we must not offend His Holiness the Pope."

"But, but this matter..."

“Alright, President Harry, this is a serious matter, as I, Pig, know. Besides, I have also signed a magic contract.”

"That's all we can do." President Harry sighed. His God was at a critical moment, and President Harry really didn't want any unforeseen accidents to happen. Fortunately, His Holiness the Pope had considered many things beforehand.

His Holiness the Pope extended an invitation before leaving; could it be that His Holiness the Pope is leaving soon?

That won't do, his affairs aren't settled yet! Harry thought, he should at least know His Holiness the Pope's specific plans.

It's not appropriate to discuss the matter of obstructing the Church of the Gods openly at the meeting. Does His Holiness the Pope imply that we can only wait until the next meeting in Sandyland?

This is taking far too long! President Harry was anxious for God.

...

Overthinking is never a good thing. President Harry has been worrying for nothing for so long; if he had come to find Ron sooner, everything would have been clear...

Ron only thought that these people were like human-shaped magic crystal mountains, so going to Sandy Territory would be a good idea! What other ideas could he possibly have when inviting people to a tourist destination?

Magic crystals are great, but even Ron, the Pope, is just as vulgar!

In the capital, in Ron's temporary courtyard.

It was noon.

He and Yuna returned a little earlier. Unlike the others who stayed up all night for another meeting, Ron came back to meditate and take another nap.

I feel like I'm in a pretty good state now.

"Vivian, take Xiaota out for a bit. Have Uncle Arno watch over her. Rita and I have some things to take care of!"

“Yes, young master. Little Ta, Vivian has some fun things here.” Vivian called to Little Ta, who was standing next to Rita.

Ron's companions already had various ideas for dealing with the little imp, Little Tower. Vivian took out a small toy from her storage ring, a tiny windmill that attracted the imp's attention.

Ron really lived like a nobleman; even his maid had a storage ring.

Inside the mansion, Ron once again had Rita activate the divine magic barrier.

"Rita, I want to see the goddess!"

Upon hearing this, Rita remained silent... After a long while, she slowly closed her eyes, and at the same time, her hands clasped together.

Suddenly, a holy aura emanated from Rita.

Angels are worshipping God!

Sacred and wondrous...

It's hard to describe the feeling, but the key point is: 'Rita, you don't need to pray to me!'

As the angels prayed, Rita knelt down before Ron as if no one else was around... Just then, the divine aura within the barrier became too intense.

As the critical point approaches, Rita's angel wings gradually emerge, and a majestic power quietly descends.

I'm dizzy.

Once again, Ron fainted.

In the last scene of the dizzying scene, I still remember Rita looking so holy, and at that moment Ron had a kind of illusion that 'I am God'.

An inexplicable willpower brought Ron back to his senses. What god? What kind of self-awareness did he have?

Besides, that's Rita! She should never be a target to be looked down upon.

Before he fainted, thankfully, he regained consciousness, and thankfully, he didn't have to actually face Rita's pilgrimage to him.

All sorts of thoughts, all in a fleeting moment, and no one knows what Ron was struggling against in vain, but Ron's face, even after fainting, still carried a slight smile.

Rita is still the same Rita, an angel of the material world, on a pilgrimage, with His Holiness the Pope to protect before her.

The dimensional void, also known as a corner of the spacetime turbulence, is a divine kingdom.

Regarding the divine kingdom, Ron examined the scriptures of both religions, and his understanding was vastly different from his last visit.

That time, it seemed that Linda was favored by God; this time, the angels in the material world personally prayed to God.

This time, the divine power of mortals entering the divine realm had a different effect. As Ron's consciousness first appeared in the divine realm, he had a strange feeling.

Before his consciousness and soul entered the Void Realm God Kingdom, the divine spells applied to him were much stronger than the last time.

The practical effect was that Ron's mortal eyes were able to see things in the divine realm so clearly.

That's how things are in this world. Being able to see is a skill, but it doesn't mean that things that can't be seen don't exist.

Living beings established divine kingdoms. In the chaotic flow of time and space, these divine kingdoms were like singularities, mysterious creations of divine beings.

Last time, it seemed he encountered angels. This time, Ron saw even more in the divine kingdom, such as sacred mountains and sacred springs, and it seemed that the legendary Holy Spirit was being born in the sacred springs...

Although Ron was very curious about the birth process of the Holy Spirit of the Divine Kingdom, after watching for a while, he was immediately brought into the Divine Gate by a divine force. On the other side of the gate were the gods of the temple.
