Chapter 172 – The Lover Of A Goddess
Meanwhile—
In a realm of light and gold, where everything was painted in mystical glow and sacred brilliance, a young man, looking barely twenty, sat alone in the middle of a golden ocean atop a single golden rock.
Everything was gold.
The sky. The water. The very air shimmered like it had been blessed by divinity.
Even the young man.
He had golden hair and deep, burning eyes that looked like two miniature suns. His robe was golden too, with white divine threads forming the face of a stunning woman across his chest.
Elijah Stoneheart.
The Champion of Light.
And just like the rest of the champions, Elijah had changed. But him… maybe more than anyone else.
Five years had passed in the outside world—but in this realm? Ten.
Ten years of pain. Of pushing every single boundary of mind and body. Ten years of getting stripped from every weakness, refined again and again in divine light and flame.
