Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
He remembered that when the number of devout believers in the local area exceeded 100,000, a message came from all realms saying that the suppression on the Gates of Heaven was decreasing and that it was trying to break free of some of its shackles, but the timeframe was unknown.
He checked several times along the way and found no changes, so he stopped paying attention. Unexpectedly, this recruitment effort directly led to success.
Snap!
Jiang Yan couldn't help but pat his head in frustration.
I told you not to be a miser!
With over 20 million faith points at his disposal, if he had recruited directly from the beginning, he could have not only brought about the change at the Gates of Heaven sooner, but also gained hundreds of thousands more faith points.
At this moment, the two angels of inheritance standing to the side suddenly moved and quickly wrote a sentence in the annals of holy light with their quill pens:
On the fifth day of the first year of the Holy Light, the Holy Lord did not inexplicably hit himself on the head.
The moment it was finished writing, the characters disappeared, and an invisible wave of law spread out.
The observing angels, the patrolling greatswordsmen, and the passing dwarves all felt a slight dizziness and completely forgot everything they had just witnessed.
Unaware of the situation, Jiang Yan quickly ran back to the Gates of Heaven and examined it closely.
Through the blessing of the angel's heart, it can be vaguely seen that two more of the dozens of chains behind this dazzling door have broken.
A supplementary explanation appeared on the building panel:
Through the arduous efforts of this building, it has finally broken through the suppression of the Epoch's will. Now, you can recruit one of the remaining 11 six-winged seraphim to descend.
Furthermore, since they entered legitimately, are not subject to the suppression of the epoch's will, and only abide by the rules of the various realms, their initial strength will be synchronized with the strongest under your command.
That's good. Jiang Yan's eyes lit up. If he remembered correctly, Adun, whom he had sent to guard the abyss passage, had also pledged his loyalty. So, the descending angels could reach the level of demigods?
This old man has finally come in handy!
Jiang Yan was so excited that he chose to recruit immediately.
[Ding! Because every angel longs to come to your side, they are engaged in a fierce battle for the spot to descend. Please wait patiently.]
Uh... you can do that?
Jiang Yan was both amused and exasperated. So, he had to fight his way out? But on the bright side, those who could stand out from the 11 Seraphim must at least be in the top three.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
About 15 minutes later, a bright light suddenly flashed through the Gates of Heaven, and a white figure stumbled out, tumbling twice in the air before regaining its balance.
She quickly straightened her clothes, her bright eyes scanning the surroundings before settling on Jiang Yan, and she excitedly exclaimed "Yay!"
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
She landed lightly on the ground and bowed to Jiang Yan with perfect angelic etiquette, which made her look elegant and lovely with her slightly round face.
"Lady Floria." Upon seeing her, the surrounding angels folded their wings and greeted her with serious expressions.
Jiang Yan was struck by this scene. He hadn't seen the other angels be so respectful when Annalia was around. Could she be the strongest among the Seraphim?
He immediately looked at the interface panels.
【Floya】
Rank: Unique.
Occupation: Six-winged ceremonial angel.
Rank: Third-tier Demigod.
Master the laws: the law of holy light, the law of ritual.
Faith Level: Blind.
Skills: Holy Light-type divine magic, ritual pronouncements.
Overall score: 490,000.
A ritual angel?
A bad feeling suddenly flashed through Jiang Yan's mind. This divine position and this skill didn't seem like the kind of thing that would make someone have explosive combat power!
"Um... Flora, where do you rank among the twelve Seraphim?"
"Oh, Holy Lord, don't ask such a profound question." Flora blinked twice, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Anyway, I'm not the weakest."
“Okay, then…” Jiang Yan was about to ask more questions when suddenly a golden light fell swiftly from the sky.
"Holy Lord." The newcomer bowed to Jiang Yan first, then said with a rather unpleasant expression, "Floya, what brings you here?"
"Of course, it was because I beat out the other seraphim that I won this precious spot to serve the Holy Lord ahead of time," Floria said proudly, raising her little face.
"Nonsense! You're second to last in rank, what makes you think you can overpower the other adults?"
"Annalia!" Flora bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "You're only third from the bottom, what right do you have to talk to me like that? Besides, I'm a demigod now, stronger than you!"
"Tch, so what? The top ten are still better than the top eleven," Analia said dismissively.
"Alright, alright!" Jiang Yan said helplessly, not expecting that the usually well-behaved Anna would actually quarrel with the newly arrived angel.
Of course, what I didn't expect was that the so-called "not the weakest" actually ranked second to last.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Anna lost her composure," Annalia said, bowing deeply in apology.
"Holy Lord, do you not like me?" Flora looked at Jiang Yan pitifully.
"No, no," Jiang Yan said with a wry smile. "But I'm quite curious, since you're ranked eleventh, how did you manage to get ahead of the others in the arrival?"
Floria glanced cautiously at Jiang Yan's expression, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he didn't seem to mind. She said, "Those strong guys didn't take me and the one who came last seriously. Then, while they were fighting fiercely, we secretly ran to the Faith Passage and took our spots. Hehe, I ran a little faster than the one who came last, so I was the one who came out in the end."
"I see." Jiang Yan nodded.
“Holy Lord, although I’m only ranked eleventh, I’m not that weak,” Flora added softly.
"Of course I know, but none of that matters." Jiang Yan smiled gently and said sincerely, "Welcome to Holy Spirit City and fight alongside us."
Floria was slightly taken aback, then smiled happily and once again performed the most standard angelic salute: "It is my honor, Holy Lord."
"Well, you have the strength of a demigod, so you can fly faster. I'm giving you a task: send this army of angels to Misty Valley as soon as possible to level up."
“No problem, leave it to me.” Floria bowed slightly, then walked energetically toward the angelic army lined up to the side.
Jiang Yan watched the other person leave and turned to look at another six-winged angel.
As a man with a childhood sweetheart, he vaguely understood the reason for her previous loss of composure, so he sent the newly arrived angel away.
Every angel longs to be valued and needed by the Lord; this is the highest meaning of their existence.
The sudden appearance of another six-winged angel, who was originally weaker than her but is now stronger, caused her to feel a sense of crisis and loss that she herself was unaware of.
Being able to properly care about the mental health of subordinates is an essential skill for any excellent lord.
Jiang Yan sighed silently in her heart and said softly:
“Anna.”
"Yes, Holy Lord, I am here."
"Don't worry, you will always be my most trusted angel."
"Ah! Really, Holy Lord? But I'm not even as good as Floria, who's second to last." Annalia's eyes suddenly filled with light, and her taut, snow-white wings trembled slightly involuntarily.
"Of course, I will always remember that you were the one who stood by my side when I needed you most."
Jiang Yan said with a smile.
