Chapter 15 The Old Man's Question
"Thank you for the gift from the Lord of Light," the old man said respectfully.
"Baptism of Light".
Before the old man could react, Father Luke baptized him. Bathed in holy light, the old man felt warm all over, as if he had become several years younger. His back pain, leg pain, and other ailments seemed to have been completely cured after this baptism. The most obvious thing was that his hunched back could straighten up again.
Before he knew it, the baptism was over. The old man felt the changes in his body and was so excited that tears streamed down his face. Although the baptism had no effect on Father Luke and the others, it was like a second life for him, something he could never repay. It gave him enough time to accompany his grandson as he grew up, and he might even be able to hold his great-grandson.
A confluence of factors led the old man to become a near-fanatic at this moment; he was just one step away from becoming a fanatic.
"Congratulations, Grandpa, on your newfound life!" Ling Xiao congratulated him.
"Congratulations, congratulations! This old man thanks the envoy for the gift. By the way, may I ask why His Majesty the Lord of Light made Ling Xiao the Holy Son of Light?" the old man asked cautiously.
After all, this involves both inheritance and bodyguards. Given the old man's life experience, he couldn't believe that such a good thing existed in the world.
“Becoming the Holy Son of the Lord of Light means that as long as His Highness’s cultivation is sufficient and he passes the Lord of Light’s test, His Highness can become the new Lord of Light,” Father Luke explained patiently.
However, Father Luke's explanation did not lower the old man's guard; on the contrary, it made him even more wary. The old man spoke again, "Since the Lord of Light is so great, why does my eldest grandson need to inherit his position?"
"The Lord of Light has been a god for countless years and has achieved great things. However, life as a god is very boring. The Lord of Light wants to go out and have some fun. Only by cultivating a new Lord of Light to take his place can the Lord of Light leave in peace."
"What did the Lord of Light see in my grandson? You must know that my grandson and I are just ordinary people." The old man remained vigilant and continued to press for answers.
"The Lord of Light has three reasons for appreciating your grandson. First, his martial soul attribute is the ultimate light, and His Highness's talent is extremely high, perfectly matching the Lord of Light's legacy. Second, His Highness's kindness, filial piety, and other excellent qualities. You must know that the Lord of Light must maintain mercy towards his believers. Third, His Highness's decisiveness towards enemies is like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. To become a qualified Lord of Light, one cannot always be merciful. After all, even an extremely kind deity cannot avoid having blood on their hands. You must know that mercy towards enemies is cruelty towards oneself and one's believers." Father Luke showed no sign of anger towards the old man's questions and patiently explained.
"Thank you for the introduction, envoy," the old man said respectfully.
At that moment, the old man's doubts were completely dispelled, and his faith level naturally rose to the level of a fanatical believer. Ling Xiao saw the old man's thick lines of faith and nodded in satisfaction.
It is very difficult to cultivate a fanatical believer. Among ten thousand devout believers, there may not be a single fanatical believer. To become a fanatical believer, one needs to dedicate everything to God.
It can be said that fanatics are all madmen. In their eyes, even if the gods send them to their deaths, they will carry it out without hesitation. Even if their enemies are gods, as long as their gods give an order, they dare to draw their swords against the opposing gods and risk their lives.
