Chapter 20

Little Price stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

Young Price heard Mogrem's words, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Genius? This title had accompanied Young Price from childhood, and he had never thought that anyone in Moonlight City would be more talented than himself. In Young Price's heart, if anyone had more talent than him, they would be in a distant, larger city and wouldn't be much stronger than him. Young Price had always been confident in his talent.

But everything before him shattered Price's long-held belief. Did he misjudge? Even if he did, the three priests present wouldn't have made a mistake. The priest of the Dawnlight Church hurriedly left, presumably to consult with his father, the Bishop of the Dawnlight Church, Lord Price. The priest of the Justice Church earnestly invited Junming to join the Justice Church, which directly proved that Junming was more talented than himself.

Young Price's pride was instantly defeated, and he looked at Junming in disbelief, his mind blank. At this moment, Young Price no longer felt the anger he had when he saw Jiang Junming's talent in sensing divine power. Instead, he felt more lost.

Talented, well-connected, and guided—these things made Young Price proud, believing that no one else could match him. But where did that poor boy come from? How could he so perfectly receive and release divine power? How could he receive an invitation from the Justice Church?

The priest of the Justice Church, seeing that Jiang Junming seemed to still be confused, thought to himself with a smile that he must be too happy to understand. Then, he suddenly thought that the young man might not understand the concept of changing faith, thinking that once one believes in a deity, they cannot change their faith. Looking at his innocent expression, the priest of the Justice Church thought it was possible.

With this thought, the priest of the Justice Church, Mogrem, felt even more confident. He cleared his throat lightly and said confidently, "The Goddess of Care and Aid is even weaker than a minor deity, and the manifestation of divine power is unstable. So, it's very easy for believers to change their faith. Don't worry about that."

The priest of the Guardian Church, hearing the priest of the Justice Church, didn't have time to report to the Bishop. He quickly stepped forward, cleared his throat lightly, and interrupted the priest of the Justice Church, saying, "Junming, as the priest of the Justice Church said, changing faith is very easy. You can also consider joining the Church of the Guardian God. Here, you will receive the most perfect faith, protecting your friends, family, and beliefs. The church will give you the greatest support."

After the priest of the Guardian Church finished speaking, he felt that his words lacked strength and was somewhat ashamed. The priest of the Justice Church could at least say that the Goddess of Care and Aid was a servant of the God of Justice, making it easier to change faith to the God of Justice and Fairness than to the Guardian God. But what about himself? Besides these words, he didn't dare to promise anything more to Junming.

Hearing this, the priest of the Justice Church turned and glared at the priest of the Guardian Church.

The priest of the Guardian Church glared back at the priest of the Justice Church, thinking, "Only your Church of Justice and Fairness can recruit Junming? Why can't our Church of the Guardian God?"

The crowd around them, which had been mildly agitated, was now discussing with envy and jealousy. Everyone was talking about how lucky that poor boy Junming was, as if he had suddenly risen to the top, becoming a priest of the Justice and Fairness Church, something they could only dream of. Even more so, the two major churches' priests seemed to be arguing over the poor boy, glaring at each other. Although they didn't come to blows, it was almost that bad.

But when the priests of the Justice Church and the Guardian Church glared at each other to recruit Jiang Junming, the surrounding crowd fell silent, no longer discussing or envying. They were stunned by what was happening. What were those important people saying? Arguing so openly in front of so many people, so brazenly, with no restraint? It was too unbelievable.

The priest of the Guardian Church glared fiercely at the priest of the Justice Church, showing no sign of backing down, not caring about the face-off with the priest of the Justice Church.

What a joke, a priest of the Justice Church versus a genius youth who could perfectly receive and release divine power. Anyone would know which was more important.

Jiang Junming didn't know what the two priests were doing, still immersed in the divine power he had just felt. From the holy emblem of the Temple of Justice and Fairness, he could sense divine power, but when it came to himself, the power he released was slightly different. Could it be that the AI brain had successfully analyzed and allowed him to release divine power? The AI brain was truly amazing, worthy of being an explorer from a Level 10 civilization!

This supernatural power made Jiang Junming ecstatic. The AI brain had successfully analyzed and deconstructed divine power! As for what the two priests were arguing about and why, Jiang Junming had no idea.

The priests of the Guardian Church and the Justice Church were still arguing, and the young men who had participated in the test were ignored, even the once-first-genius of Moonlight City, Young Price. Everyone's attention was on Jiang Junming.

Even within the Alliance of the Light Temples, there was competition and contention. The stronger one's power, the higher one's influence in the Alliance. Like the Church of the Goddess of Care, which, due to its weakness, had almost no say in the Alliance and was largely ignored. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where priests from several churches openly vied for a youth recommended by the Church of Care.

After a few minutes, the two priests were still arguing heatedly when a stern and deep voice said, "Ridiculous! In front of so many believers, you two are disgracing the Alliance of the Light Temples."

The priest of the Dawnlight Church was most afraid that the child named Junming would be persuaded to change faith to another church while he was informing the Bishop of the Dawnlight Church, Lord Price. Other churches were not as weak as the Church of the Goddess of Care, and it would be impossible to get him back. When the priest of the Dawnlight Church returned and saw the priests of the Justice Church and the Guardian Church still arguing, and no one had persuaded the youth named Junming, he felt a weight lifted from his heart.

Bishop Price of the Dawnlight Church, upon hearing the priest's account, understood even more clearly what the child named Junming meant. Without hesitation, he rushed over. After scolding them, he ignored the red-faced priests of the other churches and walked directly to Jiang Junming.
