She breathed rapidly and closed everything.

"Why is the last passage of the church reform about the Saint’s Calamity and Twilight of the Gods?"

"What was he thinking back then?"

Mother of Great Bliss quietly put away this chaotic scribble. She felt a peculiar sensation; it was probably best that no one else saw it. Although in the Ferren realm, everyone researches some taboos—even she herself had studied a pink magic book—everything here should remain sealed.

"What a pity."

"Why did he suddenly abandon the church reform?"

Could it be that negotiations with the Joyful Goddess didn’t go well?

Without the support of a Divine Spirit, church reform is indeed difficult.

Compared to the Joyous High Priest taking power, the Mother of Great Bliss would rather see Duncan hold the church’s supreme authority. After all, if Duncan were in charge, she would be second-in-command, below him and above all others. But now, within the church, the one leading the charge is the Joyous High Priest, while she, as the Grand Matron, has been completely sidelined, left only with a flock of frivolous singers from the Joyful sect.

Back when the Master of Revels was alive, the Joyful sect still had some capable individuals.

Nowadays, the faction of the Master of Revels has been nearly wiped out by the Torture Church, and the people around the Mother of Great Bliss are mostly priests who excel more in bedchambers.

The Crimson Performer is now mostly out of her control.

With the evolution of doctrine, many envoys of joy have turned to the Joyous High Priest; those left with the Mother of Great Bliss are old hedonists.

They’re remnants of the past dynasty, basically just waiting for death while indulging.

"My lord is truly ruthless!..."

The Mother of Great Bliss, slightly forlorn, returned to her luxurious villa. Without the power of the Grand Matron, all she had left was a life of hedonism, lying around, indulging day by day.

A crazy idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

"If that man could really ascend to godhood!"

"Then..."

"Could I join his church and become his High Priest?"

With this thought, the Mother of Great Bliss immediately felt a burning passion within. She was also a Legendary Level Priest, with close ties to Duncan, and she still had many Joyful Priests loyal to her. Although their power was rather ordinary, they were beautiful and genuine priests.

In the future, whether for missionary work or as a public face, they were first-rate beauties.

Apostasy!

This bold idea made even the Mother of Great Bliss feel somewhat rebellious.

No,

It should be a change of faith.

This phrasing was acceptable.

The Mother of Great Bliss trembled with excitement, a mix of fear, exhilaration, and a sense of revenge against the Joyful Goddess Lierla. She had never entertained such a wild idea in her life; the tension drove her to subconsciously clench her legs, almost like the sensation of needing to urinate.

Betraying the faith of a Divine Spirit.

As long as that man truly ascends to godhood, and as long as he’s willing to accept her, she would bring her Joyful sect to change her allegiance.

Even if she couldn’t become Shepherd Leader, she could be an Archbishop, and she was one of the Divine Spirit’s most cherished lovers.

If Duncan were truly successful in ascending, he would wield Weak Divine Power or Demigod Power.

And the Joyful Goddess Lierla would merely be one rank higher in Weak Divine Power.

If all this came to be,

The Mother of Great Bliss’s status would be entirely different.

In Eastern terms, she would have shared in the virtue of assisting a dragon’s rise, and she might very well become one of the first priests in Duncan’s church.

Everyone’s perspectives differ depending on their positions.

The goddesses of Bright Water Realm contemplate completely conquering Duncan, making him submit beneath them, whereas the Mother of Great Bliss, who ordinarily indulges and is somewhat of a layabout, doesn’t mind submitting to Duncan, even ready to pose in whatever way he desires.

Once the thought of pledging to Duncan arises, it feels as if the world has broadened.

Already almost entirely sidelined, the idea of completely turning to Duncan began to grow wildly in the mind of the Mother of Great Bliss.

She wants revenge on the Joyful Goddess Lierla; just like she was abandoned, she too would abandon the old faith.

At least that man is truly generous.
