Chapter 489: The Forbidden Existence

The Holy Priestess stopped in front of the statue which stood tall in the center of the hall.

The flickering candles around the room cast a soft, flickering glow on her face as she gazed up at the stone figure.

The statue represented a divine being, which had granted their blessings to the people of this continent through her. It was because of discovering this statue that she had managed to rise to this extent in this cruel world.

From being an insignificant person that was rejected by the Sword Emperor, to becoming the Holy Priestess that ruled over the continent, it was all thanks to the statue which allowed her to connect with the divine being.

Throughout the entire Holy Church, she was the only person who had seen this statue. The secrets of the statue, its true purpose, and the mysteries within it were known only to her.
