Chapter 520 Omonres
As people from all walks of life arrived, time slowly passed and the sun gradually reached overhead. Although the summer festival was in early summer, the temperature was not low at this time. The central square was crowded with people, and many people were sweating profusely, but this did not dampen their enthusiasm.

Although a considerable number of citizens had already gathered in the square, a large number of citizens were still pouring into the long streets on both sides of the square. The long queue seemed to stretch for a thousand meters.

As the host, Li Ming stood behind the Pope, and the Saint was beside him. The three of them were located on the highest of several platforms, which was also the position closest to the statue of the God of Light.

The other platforms were basically filled with princes and ministers from various countries. The scale of this year's summer festival was far larger than before. Even some kingdoms with the Church of Light as their state religion had their kings present in person.

Ordinary people may not be aware of the undercurrents within the Holy City, but it is different for the politicians who are extremely sensitive to the situation. Many of them have speculations about what is about to happen, and their expressions are very complicated.

Li Ming also looked calm as he looked at the Pope wearing a purple robe and a crown made of pure gold. Twelve gems on the crown were shining brightly. Each of them was an elemental gem. They could be made into the most advanced magic items individually, but here, they were only because of their own luster.

The old Pope sitting on the throne squinted his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep. Apart from his gorgeous clothes, he seemed to be just an ordinary old man.

Of course, if you really regard this old Pope who is nearly two hundred years old and has controlled the Church of Light for more than a hundred years as an ordinary old man, then you are a real fool.

It is impossible for him not to know about the turbulent undercurrents in the Holy City, but he still sits on the Diaoyutai and must have his own plans.

Then Li Ming looked up and saw the surging crowds around him. Overlooking the believers who were still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the summer festival, Li Ming felt inexplicably heavy in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

The Saint Girl couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you sighing? This is a happy day."

"Yes, happy days." Li Ming responded indifferently.

The two looked at each other and seemed to have some tacit understanding.

Finally, the sun came to the top of the statue of the God of Light. At noon, a golden light fell, reflecting on the glow of the white jade statue, and it actually emitted seven colors of light. It was truly five colors and ten lights, gorgeous and colorful!
At the same time, the Holy Orchestra of the Church of Light slowly entered the venue, and the majestic yet gentle music instantly spread throughout the entire square. Through the spread of magic, no matter where you are in the holy city, you can clearly hear this wonderful music.

On the streets on both sides, teams of the Imperial Guards of the Church of Light, dressed in gorgeous armor, appeared. The horses they rode were all first-class divine horses. Behind them was the ceremonial guard holding various ceremonial vessels. Behind them was the exhibition car, on which sat priests from different regions. They all came to participate in this summer festival.

Divine arts were sprinkled all around as if they were free of charge. Every person covered by the holy light felt as if bathed in divine grace, their whole body relaxed and happy.

This can be considered a small benefit in the Summer Festival. After all, if you ask any priest of this level to treat you, the cost will definitely be a figure that is enough to bankrupt an ordinary family.

As the teams arrived at the square one after another and formed neat lines, the sound of sacred music gradually stopped.

Two giant golden drums were brought to the foot of the statue in the square at some point, and two small giants with Titan blood appeared, holding drumsticks. Although they only had a tiny bit of blood, it was enough to make them three or four times taller than an ordinary person. Even so, they were only barely level with the giant drums.

The drumstick was as big as a man. If they were not of the blood of Titans, they would not be able to lift it.

Then the two men beat the drums vigorously.

Boom!Boom!thump...

The heavy drumbeats seemed to strike at people's hearts! The sound of the drums spread far and wide, and the people who heard the drums in the distance gradually stopped making noise... Everyone knew that according to the traditional ceremony.

The protagonist of the Summer Festival, His Holiness the Pope, is about to appear!
After the twelve drum beats ended, the old man in front of Li Ming finally opened his eyes. Although his life was about to end, his eyes did not appear cloudy, but instead revealed a ray of wisdom!

Li Ming quickly stepped forward and together with the saint helped the old Pope to his feet, but the old Pope shook his head, and suddenly straightened his back, and stood up as if he had a last burst of energy. His eyes also became sharp, as if God had returned his lost time to him.

As the old Pope stood up, everyone present, whether they were nobles or royal officials, whether they were alien elves or magic masters, all stood up, adjusted their clothes and appearance, and paid their respects to the old man.

He, Omonres, was born into a noble family and had extraordinary talents. He enjoyed the best education since childhood, but he also worked his way up from the bottom of the church to where he is today. During the more than 100 years that he was in charge of the Church of Light, he devoted himself to it until his death.

For more than a hundred years, the Church of Light and the Eighty-Eight Demon Gods, the Source of Chaos, have been fighting endlessly, but they still maintain extremely strong strength. He has made an indispensable contribution to this.

Although the Church of Light is the Church of the True God and the God of Light is one of the strongest gods, the current strength ranking of the Church of Light on the continent is definitely at the forefront in history.

All of this can be largely attributed to him. He has a long-term strategic vision, is eclectic in employing people regardless of their background, has a broad vision, acts decisively and vigorously, is strong externally, vigorously develops the sect, and internally reconciles the struggles between major factions and focuses on cultivating the next generation. Throughout the history of the Church of Light, there are not many people like him.

His contributions to the Church of Light are obvious to all. Even though he is old now and no longer as wise and powerful as he used to be, he is still an elder who deserves respect.

At least Li Ming was able to become the Son of God. The Pope made a lot of efforts and cleared many obstacles for Li Ming. After all, Li Ming had nothing except the so-called divine favor.

Looking at the old man's current appearance, Li Ming suddenly lost consciousness for a moment. He didn't understand why the power of time was so strong that it made him change so much, becoming timid and indecisive. Li Ming didn't believe that he would give up everything just because his death was approaching.

"Your Holiness, what are you thinking about?"
