Chapter 1282: Chapter 578: Ridiculous Destiny

At sunset, the blazing sun sank in the west.

The sun, high in the sky, seemed to exhaust its last fierce rays, casting a dim and gentle glow upon the world.

Like molten gold, it flowed over mountains, forests, and wastelands, cloaking everything in a warm and nostalgic hue.

Day and night met at this moment, the boundary between light and shadow blurred, submerging everything in this fleeting, tranquil splendor.

A halo trailed behind him, stretching into long, wing-like bands of light; wherever it passed, even thick mist retreated, not dispersed, but as though silently dissolving like ice meeting the sun.

The shadows at his feet were so faint they nearly ceased to exist, as if even darkness itself was unwilling, or unable, to approach this favored child of light.

And in this world favored by the Sun, one figure stood out distinctly.

He seemed to be especially favored by the sun, with a great deal of light and heat falling upon him.

He seemed exceptionally favored by the soon-to-be-hidden sun, as light flowed around him in the surrounding space.

Whether it was the warm dimness or the flickers reflected by rocks and dry grass, all seemed to be drawn by an invisible force field.

Automatically, continuously flowing into his body, joyfully merging into his every inch of skin, every strand of hair.

The almost plundering brilliance stained Herbert’s originally snow-white hair with a layer of dazzling, flowing gold.

Like an incandescent lamp, he seemed to radiate light and heat from the inside out.

Around him, all glory automatically flowed into his body, merging into every inch of his skin.

That glaring admiration stained his white hair with a layer of resplendent gold.

He looked like the sun walking in the mortal realm.

He wasn’t the incarnation of the Divine Spirit, but no one would doubt the depth of divine favor he enjoyed as a Divine Apostle.

Because they understood, this special change came from the gaze of the Divine.

When His vision fell, His authority would automatically capture the rules there.

All glory pouring into the body meant that the lucky one was constantly watched by the Divine.

What a degree of attention this was!

Everyone would believe—the newest Sun Apostle was beloved by the Divine.

Things had developed to this point, even Herbert himself was almost convinced.

Since it has come to this, I’ll just consider myself favored by Alberta!

Well, if I suffer a little loss, I won’t explain much more.

By now, not because of being favored but being viewed as an "eyesore" by the Sun God... let’s act as if it doesn’t exist.

Alright, let’s happily decide on that.

Herbert cheerfully decided, preparing to introduce himself to others openly.

Let them envy him good and well.

However, one should take care ahead of time.

And if later, encountering core members of the Sun Church, then it needs to be... more specifically stated.

Envy to death!

Heh↑ Heh↓

But, at certain times, there are exceptional situations.

Like the current scenario... This silent Epic Heroic Spirit seemed not to envy the "Divine Favor" upon Herbert.

The Legion Commander’s gaze calmly watched the young man step by step towards him from the mist.

His eyes penetrated the dazzling radiance, directly landing upon Herbert himself, as if that overwhelming grace was merely a trivial backdrop to him.

In his eyes, there was relief, a hint of ease, and a reflection of contemplation.

That complex gaze stirred Herbert’s heart slightly, feeling like the Legion Commander was watching a scene long predicted.

Did he guess?

Herbert stopped at a neither too near nor too far distance from the Legion Commander, smilingly tilting his head and asked:

"It seems you’re not surprised?"

This guy was so certain I would appear here? So unthinkingly waiting for me?

And after hearing this question, the Legion Commander did not answer, instead slightly lowering his eyes, softly muttering.

He merely slightly lowered his gaze, like falling into some distant memory, softly muttering.

The voice was low and hoarse, bearing the marks of time’s erosion.

"Surprise? Am I surprised now? I... haha."

He confusingly asked himself several times, then suddenly smiled wistfully.

The Legion Commander shook his head, raised his eyes, and slowly said: "No, actually I’m very surprised now."

His eyes lit up with a fiery light, steadfastly staring at Herbert.

"I am really unwilling to predict such elusive things, but you really did show up..."

"Though it has been so long, you appeared just as they said."

They? A prophecy?

Herbert slightly raised his eyebrow, not expecting to hear such a reply at this moment.

This guy means he’s been waiting for me all along?

Could it be that someone once prophesied something to him?

Herbert wanted to inquire further, but the Legion Commander’s emotions escalated from calm to excitement.

His eyes suddenly shone with fiery light, as if lava surged beneath ice, steadfastly staring at Herbert, word by word saying:

"Though it has been so long, so long that even time itself is almost losing its meaning... yet you appeared exactly as ’they’ said."
