Chapter 336 · Volume 1

I'm Not Becoming the Pope

Facing the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Olivia did not hide the truth and frankly admitted that she had become a Controller.
“Fortunately, I had the Goddess's help; otherwise, the Controller rank wouldn't have been so easy to reach.”
Olivia was humble, giving all the credit to the Radiant Goddess.
Regardless, the fact that she had become a Controller still sent a massive shock through the crowd.
After all, that was a Controller.
This was the end of transcendence, the ultimate path for all transcendents.
Yet Olivia, at such a young age, had already reached this end.
“Perhaps it is time for you to take over as the Pope of the Radiant Light Church,” Adam couldn't help but suggest.
He had some understanding of the matters between Controllers and the gods, and he knew he no longer had a way to become a deity. His future path was to have the Radiant Goddess transform him into an angel.
Becoming an angel would at least make him more powerful than he was now and grant him a much longer lifespan; it was indeed the best choice.
However, the Radiant Light Church needed a Controller to hold down the fort, so he previously had no choice but to remain as the Pope.
But with the appearance of a second Controller, everything could now change.
Olivia immediately understood what Adam meant and hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no, no, I don't think I can be the Pope.”
“Why? You are already a Controller. There would be absolutely no problem with you becoming the Pope,” Adam said with a smile.
“Because the Goddess asked me to work hard within a year, I probably shouldn't take on any official positions for at least this year,” Olivia said cryptically.
When the others heard this, they wouldn't understand what it meant, but she believed Adam certainly could.
And indeed, he did.
When he heard that the Goddess had given Olivia a one-year requirement, Adam's pupils constricted violently.
Did the Radiant Goddess think so highly of Olivia? To actually have her strive to become a deity.
Adam's mind was in turmoil for a moment, filled with considerable shock.
However, since this was the Goddess's requirement, he naturally couldn't force Olivia to become the Pope.
Adam gave a bitter smile and finally said, “In that case, I will have to continue serving as the Pope.
“However, you are no longer just a Titled Saint. Now that you have become a Controller, you shall be the Divine Maiden of the Radiant Light Church.”
The position of Divine Maiden was mostly vacant within the Radiant Light Church.
This was because the position corresponded to a Controller.
Generally speaking, a second Controller would only be named the Divine Maiden if the Pope was still in office and the second Controller was female.
Yet, more often than not, when a second Controller appeared, the first would often become an angel, allowing the second to become the Pope.
Therefore, the position of Divine Maiden had truly not been filled for a very, very long time.
But now, due to Olivia's unique circumstances, she could only hold the position of Divine Maiden.
From now on, the Saint of Miracles would be the Divine Maiden of Miracles!
Of course, Olivia didn't care much about the position; after all, it was just a title.
Olivia didn't interact much more with the others because she felt the whispers in her ears growing more intense. She needed to find a secluded place to deal with them properly.
The Divine Language a Controller could hear was not constant; sometimes the whispers were more intense, and sometimes they were more peaceful.
A Controller needed to respond differently depending on the situation.
Thus, not long after, Olivia left the church headquarters.
She flew into a remote mountain range in the main world and landed beneath a waterfall.
The mountains were a world of silver and white; thick snow had accumulated on the trees and the ground, creating a vast, boundless expanse as far as the eye could see.
“When did it start snowing?”
Olivia scanned her surroundings and couldn't help but sigh.
The change of seasons was always so sudden that she hadn't felt it deeply.
But there was no helping it; after becoming a transcendent, she found it harder to stay close to ordinary life. This phenomenon became increasingly apparent as her class rank rose.
Olivia didn't have much time to admire the scenery, as her attention quickly shifted back to the Divine Language she was hearing.
The so-called Divine Language was a negative influence, yet it could also serve as a beneficial aid.
‘Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me: what exactly is the content of the vague Divine Language I'm hearing?’
Olivia chose to seek help from the magic mirror.
And to this question, the magic mirror quickly provided an answer.
【Master, what you are hearing is information regarding the Laws of Ice and Snow. The specific content is...】
The magic mirror began to speak slowly.
In fact, most of the time, the Divine Language heard by a Controller described various profound subjects.
If one could understand and comprehend it, they would gain immense benefits.
However, the Divine Language was less a language and more a resonance of laws, making it very difficult for anyone to understand.
So even if the content was highly beneficial, people couldn't truly profit from it; instead, they would suffer many negative effects.
But these problems were non-existent in front of the magic mirror.
Olivia indeed couldn't understand what the whispers were saying, but with the magic mirror's translation, she understood.
Laws of Ice and Snow?
The world itself was actively telling her the laws of ice and snow?
If she could master these laws, wouldn't she be able to control ice and snow at will?
Laws were the power wielded by deities.
Olivia was deep in thought. With the help of the magic mirror's translation, she quickly grasped the content of the Divine Language and mastered it.
Unknowingly, a large amount of ice and snow began to float around Olivia, continuously circling her.
As her thoughts shifted, the ice and snow began to change shape, forming a magnificent city of ice and snow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The appearance of that city was somewhat similar to Kaliron, and Olivia stood at the top of its tallest clock tower.
In a short amount of time, Olivia gained an extremely profound understanding of the Laws of Ice and Snow.
This situation left Olivia herself feeling somewhat shocked.
The Divine Language, which all Controllers both loved and hated, had been cracked just like that for her.
The magic mirror was truly... truly amazing!
With such a cheat, Olivia no longer had any interest in collecting divine treasures.
Listening more to the Divine Language and mastering more laws was the greatest way for her to improve.
Becoming a deity within a year didn't seem like such a difficult task after all.
