If she hadn't agreed just now, she would have become a corpse now! With the purple-clothed woman's strength, she had no doubt that she could kill herself...
Seeing An Ran's sudden change in expression, the purple-robed woman continued, "The leader originally told me to place my inheritance on the Death Mountains. After a thousand years, someone will appear who is the most suitable successor. After all these years, I've finally waited for you."
"How did your leader know about my presence?" An Ran felt as if all this had been planned by someone a hundred years ago. She was extremely unhappy with the feeling that her fate was in the hands of others.
"Our leader is a prophet. Her predictions never go wrong. She predicted this for me on her deathbed. You don't have to feel uncomfortable. In this world, our leader is the only prophet. That's her gift."
After hearing this, An Ran relaxed a little, but she was surprised that there actually was a prophet. Prophecy was really something beyond belief. If one could know what would happen in the future now, then what could not be done?
As if knowing An Ran's thoughts, the purple-clothed woman explained, "The abilities possessed by a prophet are indeed enviable, but there are also many constraints. After the leader's abilities became known to others, many people set their sights on our leader. They forced the leader to predict for them, and with each prediction, the leader's body would become weaker. Otherwise, our leader would not have died at such a young age, and I also died while rescuing the leader." When she said this, the purple-clothed woman's face seemed to have a little more emotion, but more of it was hatred.
"As far as I know, the leader of the Church of Light possesses supreme power. Everyone in the Church of Light exists to eliminate the Dark Organization. How could your leader be forced by others?"
An Ran couldn't help but frown and raised her own questions. Before coming, the vice-principal and Venerable Mo Shang frantically supplemented them with some common sense about the Holy See of Light and the dark organizations. Why did the purple-clothed woman's words sound a little different from what they knew?
The purple-robed woman sneered, as if recalling the trivialities of the past. "We in the Church of Light do aim to fight against the Dark Organization, but over the past tens of thousands of years, the Church of Light is no longer the pure Church of Light it once was!"
"A thousand years ago, a gifted young man recruited by the Church from outside was not content to fight against the Dark Organization in obscurity. He wanted to become famous and rule the vast continent. So he secretly colluded with the Dark Organization and gave the Dark Organization our Church of Light's defense map during a battle. That battle was the most devastating loss for our Church of Light!
"In that fierce battle, we lost nearly two-thirds of our members from the Holy See of Light. In the end, in order to save the lives of the rest of us, the Lord Leader asked us to leave early and cover our retreat. He knew that even if he failed, the Dark Organization would only capture her and not kill her!"
"The leader single-handedly bought back time for our Church of Light to recuperate, but she was captured by a dark organization!"
An Ran listened silently to this vicissitudes of the past. She really had no say in these things, but she felt sorry for the prophet and the woman in purple in front of her. How helpless they must have been at the time. Although this talent was good, it cost her life.
"The leader said that you are the most suitable to be my successor, and you also have to take on a mission, which is to join our Holy See of Light. I want you to fight the Dark Organization to the death!"
"I don't think I can help you." An Ran shook her head. She also wanted to help the woman in purple, but she felt that she had too many burdens. It was already difficult to solve the problems she was carrying. The fight to the death was too heavy.
Hearing An Ran's answer, the purple-clothed woman's expression changed: "Why?"
"...You may not know this, but I will indeed be an enemy of the Dark Organization. However, you also said that the Holy See of Light is no longer the Holy See of Light it once was. I don't want to join them, nor do I want to agree to a life-and-death struggle with them. I have more important things to do in the future, and this hatred is too heavy."
An Ran still frowned and did not answer. She could never agree to such a thing lightly. Most people would probably just agree to it and then ignore it after obtaining the inheritance. However, she could not do such a thing.
"In fact, what you are carrying does not conflict with joining the Church of Light. If you join the Church of Light, the power you possess will be enough for you to accomplish what you want. The most important thing in this world is strength. In fact, in addition to personal strength, cultivating your power is also very important.
After all, one person can never defeat an entire sect, right? I believe in our leader's prophecy, and I also believe in your ability. You are the one sent by God to end this war!
An Ran's expression relaxed a bit. It was undeniable that the purple-clothed woman's words had touched her. It was indeed difficult for the four of them to face all this alone. The four major families in the imperial capital alone were not something he could resist on his own, let alone this dark organization that had been passed down for ten thousand years...
If he could become an important member of the Holy See of Light, then he would have the ability to protect their family!
Before leaving, the purple-robed woman told her, "My inheritance isn't limited to this place. In another palace in this place, that's the true inheritance. My lifelong skills are all there. It can help you gain sufficient strength more quickly. But you must remember one thing: you must never slack off in your cultivation because of my skills."
"Things you get from the outside world will never be as good as what you gain through your own cultivation. Do you understand?" The woman in purple seemed particularly serious when she said this.
She knew clearly how tempting her skills were to practitioners. At first, she had hesitated whether to do so or not. After all, she might slack off in her practice after gaining them, which would be counterproductive.
Hearing this, An Ran nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I definitely won't!" Having experienced so much, her character is far superior to that of ordinary people, and she knows this very well! But she won't refuse either. After all, being able to quickly embark on the road to success and get closer to her goal is also excellent.
When An Ran came out of the stone tablet, Xu Errong had already come out, but An Yu and Jun Zichen were still inside the stone tablet.
