Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

Zeus City, located in the interior of the Temple Alliance, is not yet considered the core area of ​​the alliance, but it is a town far from the front lines and almost never experiences demonic calamities.

On the map of the Temple Alliance, Zeus City is located in the southeast. The closest of the six major temples is the Magic Temple, followed by the Warrior Temple.

Zeus City has three most magnificent buildings, even the city lord's mansion pales in comparison, and the most luxurious of them is the Zeus branch of the Magic Temple.

The Magic Temple is the wealthiest of the six temples, so even the Knight Temple and Warrior Temple, which are of equal status, are far less impressive than the Magic Temple.

At this moment, a sacred ceremony is being held inside the Magic Branch Hall.

A dozen or so boys and girls, around ten years old, stood together, while on the stage stood a middle-aged man dressed in a magic robe.

A magic crystal was fixed to a pillar, surrounded by elf statues of various colors. The middle-aged man placed his palm on the magic crystal, and wisps of red liquid flowed into it.

Elemental Awakening is a unique awakening ritual for magicians, allowing these children to formally embark on the path of magicians.

The middle-aged magician is the Awakener in charge of the Awakening Ceremony.

At the middle-aged magician's signal, the boys and girls stepped forward in an orderly fashion and completed the awakening process under his guidance.

The middle-aged magician sometimes shook his head, sometimes frowned, and only very rarely did he smile.

Until a boy stepped onto the awakening platform and reached out his hand towards the magic crystal.

The boy's expression was more composed than the previous awakened ones, but his eyes could not hide a trace of eagerness and longing.

The middle-aged magician was already used to this. He had presided over the elemental awakening for countless children. This child must have been repeatedly reminded by his elders at home and knew the importance of elemental awakening.

"Follow the methods taught by your mentor, relax your mind and body, clear your mind of distractions, and focus on feeling the presence of the elements."

The middle-aged magician repeated his monotonous words before pouring red magic into the magic crystal.

The boy began the process he had practiced countless times, gradually calming his excited emotions.

Other children are too young to understand, but doesn't he know better? This is a moment that will determine the fate of his future!

Gu Ao didn't know why he came to this unfamiliar continent. It wasn't until he heard words like Temple Alliance, professional, and demon race that he realized this was the world of the Throne of Gods.

No one knows why a child who could not find his parents would suddenly appear in Zeus City, which had never been invaded by demons. However, he was taken in by the city's orphanage and has lived there ever since.

Fortunately, the orphanage was very close to the Zeus branch of the magic temple, and occasionally magicians would come to the orphanage to teach meditation and the secrets of sensing the elements, which gave him the innate conditions to come into contact with magic.

In the orphanage, he was seen as a child with "magical talent" by the magic teacher, which earned him the opportunity to participate in this year's Elemental Awakening—normally, he should have participated in the one held two years later.

Gu'ao wasn't worried about whether he had magical talent; his performance during his studies and the attitude of his teachers were enough to prove that he had some talent in magic and elements. At this moment, his only hope was that his innate spiritual power could be as high as possible.

If he possesses the talent to join the Demon Hunters, then his many plans will have a chance to be put to the test.

Innate spiritual power is different from that of the neighboring Douluo Continent. After all, the Douluo Continent also has martial spirits, and innate spirit power is only one of the references; while innate spiritual power is like the final judgment, and is the only standard for judging talent on the Holy Demon Continent.

Barring special circumstances, the highest level of innate soul power is level ten, and the highest level of innate inner spiritual power is one hundred points.

If one's innate soul power is at level one, there might still be a chance to save them. But if one's innate spiritual power is only ten points, then there is truly no hope.

Unlike the Douluo Continent, the Holy Demon Continent doesn't offer as many opportunities to defy fate. And given the current conflict between the Holy and Demonic Realms, the few remaining opportunities are not something that just anyone can covet.

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant. The next moment, the light patterns on the ground began to emit an increasingly intense glow, and Gu Ao immediately felt a warm sensation all over his body, an indescribable comfort.

The middle-aged magician's indifferent expression was instantly shattered. In his eyes, Gu'ao's body lit up completely, and the magic crystal shone with dazzling light like a small sun, illuminating the entire room.

What shocked him even more was that the surrounding elven statues began to light up on their own, with seven of them shining brightly. The seven colors of light intertwined and surged in the air, emitting halos that converged towards Gu'ao in the center.

Blue, red, yellow, cyan, gold, black, and silver—seven colors of light intertwine and reflect each other among the ancient artifacts, crystals, and sculptures. Except for the final silver, which is slightly dim, the first six colors are extremely bright and dazzling, with each other's brightness seemingly indistinguishable.

Even so, the slightly dim silver color was a stark contrast to the light displayed by the previous awakened ones, like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

The light lasted for several minutes before gradually fading away. The middle-aged magician came to his senses, his eyes fixed on the magic crystal, and he swallowed hard.

"Ninety-one...ninety-four...ninety-five...ninety-seven! Ninety-eight!!!"

The middle-aged magician's voice grew louder and louder, trembling with excitement. When he looked at Gu Ao again, his eyes were completely different, filled with unparalleled fervor.

------

Not far from Zeus City, in the suburbs, an old man dressed in a silver magic robe stood in mid-air, with a pair of silver wings made entirely of spiritual energy on his back.

Suddenly, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, and circles of silver light rippled outward from him, spreading through the air like ripples on water, illuminating the space around him.

Then, he slowly turned his head and gazed intently toward the city of Zeus.

------

Zeus's branch temple of the Magic Temple.

At this moment, a guest arrived at the Zeus branch temple, and all the magicians stood aside, not daring to breathe.

The old man stared with fanaticism, muttering to himself, "Blessed by the seven elements, or perhaps the child of the six elements... What a pity, what a pity..."

The old man shook his head repeatedly, as if examining a piece of exquisite jade with minor flaws.

Gu Ao heard the old man's words clearly and felt an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart. He had understood everything from the other man's words!

In the Knights' Temple, those with an innate spiritual power of seventy are called Angel of Light; those with an innate spiritual power of eighty are called Divine Protection; and those with an innate spiritual power of ninety or more are called Children of Light!

Other temples have similar names; simply replace the first two characters with the corresponding temple's vocabulary.

Blessed by the seven elements, a child of the six elements.

The other party's regret was that the space attribute representing silver did not reach ninety, and he, wearing a silver magic robe, was undoubtedly a space magician. He regretted that Gu Ao could not best inherit his mantle.

The old man straightened his expression and asked Gu Ao in a solemn tone, "Child, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Suppressing his inner elation, Gu Ao quickly began to think: he was naturally happy to have a backer, although he already had some suspicions, he still wanted to confirm whether this backer was really reliable.

"You are...?"

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed heartily, not taking Gu Ao's offense to heart. In his view, Gu Ao's barely concealed excitement was because he had encountered an unexpectedly important person.

After waving away the branch hall master who stepped forward, the old man said with a gentle expression, "Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Yu, I am an elder of the Magic Temple, and a ninth-order magic god. If you become my disciple, you can come with me to the main hall to cultivate."
