The junior priests of the Church Court were looking at Yuan Danqing and Song Yi, who had received Golden Level Skills as rewards from Lin Ye. To say they had no thoughts in their minds would be a blatant lie.

One could say that things like Golden Skills were something they never dared to dream of while within the Church Court.

From the outside, people might think they had favorable conditions within the Church Court, but only they knew it was just pretending to be better off than they actually were.

Many had already forced their parents to sell all their possessions just to squeeze into the circle of the Church Court.

But even so, after entering the Church Court, they found they hardly gained any real benefits.

Just like the Holy Prayer Meeting, they, as members of the Church Court, could participate, and their harvest would be slightly better than that of the unassociated Holy Light Professionals.

However, they were well aware that the truly good resources and positions within the Church Court were reserved for the members of the Twelve Noble Families.

Many who prided themselves on having decent Holy Light Talents depleted their family's wealth, believing that entering the Church Court would allow them to fulfill their ambitions. Instead, they found themselves performing menial tasks day in and day out.

As for cultivation resources, they were almost entirely unrelated to them…

Their original ambitions withered away completely in the grinding daily routine that stretched on for years.

Now, many priests witnessed Lin Ye taking the power of the Holy Flame, establishing a Holy Flame Domain outside the City of Light, and bestowing six Golden Skill Runes, and, at this moment, they were wavering.

Since it was all the power of the Holy Light, why should they tether themselves tightly to the Church Court's war chariot?

A seed thus silently planted itself within the hearts of countless priests present.

After granting the six Skill Runes, Lin Ye transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the night sky, leaving behind a crowd of either fervent or dazed people, continuing with their respective revelries or bewilderment.

"Ha, just left like that, not even bothering to greet me, the hardworking and meritorious one, allowing me to show my face in front of the world, bah!"

Liang Houyun spat, deeply despising Lin Ye's behavior of taking the spotlight and leaving.

As for Liang Jintian, his expression was grim, and it was only at this moment that he noticed that many buildings within the Church Court had suffered varying degrees of damage.

"That imbecile Nangong Dou..." Liang Jintian was burning with anger.

These unnecessary losses were undoubtedly all caused by Nangong Dou.

At the time, Nangong Dou accidentally touched the Holy Flame and, while writhing in the intense pain of being continually burned, created quite a commotion.

The disturbance caused by a Hundred-level Powerhouse was certainly not small.

Fortunately, it did not affect the stands here; otherwise, the casualties could have been unimaginable.

Even so, this time the Church Court had completely lost both face and substance.

He couldn't even reach the Holy Core to discuss the next steps.

At this time, he noticed that the Holy Light Crystal Mother on the Holy Stele, which could connect with the City of Light, was gone.

Without the Holy Light Crystal Mother, he could not contact the Holy Core!

But soon, he also indirectly contacted the Holy Core…

"Archbishop, the Central Church Court has issued a letter, and the other three Church Courts have also sent letters asking what exactly happened here."

The Steward hurriedly approached, speaking in a lowered voice.

This Steward, who usually wore a cold expression, now showed a somewhat dejected and worn-out look.

He probably never imagined that by following Liang Jintian's instructions to allow Lin Ye to join the Saint's Prayer, this would be the outcome.

But then, who could have known Lin Ye would achieve such a degree?

…

That night, in almost all places with Holy Flame Sect churches, the believers fell into absolute frenzy and excitement!

For their Archbishop, Liang Houyun had just announced that the newly formed Holy Flame Domain, condensed by the Saint Flame Pope, would henceforth be the supreme sacred site of the Holy Flame Sect!

This was just like the Church Court having the City of Light; the followers of the Holy Flame Sect now also had their own sacred place!

Historically, Church Court followers loved to attack Holy Flame Sect followers by claiming that the City of Light was under the control of the Church Court, asserting that the Church Court was orthodox...

But today, all of that was completely rewritten.

The Holy Flame Sect also had its own sacred site, its own foundation; they were no longer considered mere fake believers.

Most crucially, all of this resulted from Lin Ye separating a portion of the Holy Flame's power from the original City of Light.

On this point alone, even if the Church Court wanted to criticize Lin Ye, they would need to carefully consider how to phrase their accusations and from what angle to approach it.

After all, Lin Ye was originally the controller of the Holy Flame; he was currently the only Holy Flame Professional.

If not for this, Lin Ye wouldn't have been able to separate and take the power of the Holy Flame.

So, merely from this perspective, aside from impotently raging, the Church Court could do nothing.

The most damning part was that later that night, the Holy Flame Sect issued a public announcement declaring that in the future, this day would be celebrated as a festival named the 'Nirvana Festival,' signifying the rebirth of the Holy Flame's power in the hands of their Pope.

As for Lin Ye, who stirred up such a massive ordeal, he was now in a blank white space.

"Still a chaos, compared to the City of Light, the gap is still too wide."

Lin Ye muttered.

This space was the newly born Holy Flame Domain, and at the moment, apart from the constantly rising white flames, there was nothing else.

If one must say, it would be the surrounding twinkling points of light.

These were all Holy Light Crystals, and among them, the few extremely bright ones were the Holy Light Crystal Mothers, whose emitted light was clearly beyond comparison to ordinary Holy Light Crystals.

"It's unimaginable why those eternal old folks of the Holy Core hoarded so many Holy Light Crystals," Lin Ye sighed as he gazed at the light dots.

Although he spoke thus, Lin Ye was quite clear about their intentions.

After all, rarity increases value; if a large number of Holy Light Crystals flooded the market, could they still fetch a high price?

Wouldn't they become common goods that could be bought with just a few thousands of currency, like other crystal materials?

To maintain high profits, the Holy Core deliberately strangled the flow of Holy Light Crystals to ensure their profit.

As a result, Lin Ye could grab such a massive quantity of Holy Light Crystals just in one go…
