The carriage traveled along the main road, heading towards the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

Aaron sat inside the carriage, contemplating in his heart.

My trip to the Church of the Evernight Goddess this time is not just about choosing a faith, but more importantly, communicating with the Evernight Goddess to gain Her assistance.

With my own disguise alone, I can barely deceive Beyonders of the Black Emperor and Arbiter pathways at the demigod level and conceal my uniqueness.

However, as the Duke's eldest son and future title inheritor, if I go to Backlund and want to achieve something there, I will inevitably have to meet King George III of Loen.

And the current George III is at least Sequence 2, and most likely already Sequence 1, attempting to accommodate other Black Emperor pathway Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics.

Facing an angel of the Black Emperor pathway at this level of authority, He can see through my uniqueness at a glance.

In this case, not only will my plans be difficult to complete, but my safety cannot be guaranteed either. Without solving this problem, I cannot go to Backlund.

But now that the curtain is about to rise, I have to go to Backlund.

Now, the only way is to communicate with the Evernight Goddess, obtain hidden protection, and request the Goddess to use Her authority over Concealment to conceal my uniqueness.

With the Apocalypse approaching, whether the Evernight Goddess wants to cultivate a strong helper when the Apocalypse arrives or desires the water of the River of Eternal Darkness, I have the potential to be invested in.

Thinking of this, Aaron slowly exhaled, making up his mind.

-----------------

St. Francis Cathedral, the headquarters of the Church of the Evernight Goddess's East Chester County diocese.

St. Francis was a saint during the founding period of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, active in the late Third Epoch, and recorded in various sacred texts, so Francis is also a common name among people who believe in the Evernight Goddess.

The church building as a whole is tall and solemn, as if woven from the night sky, built with black stones. The walls are carved with strange patterns, and a sense of peace and tranquility washes over you.

The carriage slowly stopped in the large square in front of the church. It was already night, the crimson moon hung high, and everything was tinged with a faint scarlet.

An elderly gentleman, dressed in the missionary attire of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, with snow-white hair that was meticulously groomed and a kind and serene face, stood beside the church, accompanied by several priests.

Matthew Adams, one of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, in charge of the Church of the Evernight Goddess's East Chester County diocese.

He is a Sequence 4 "Nightwatcher" of the Darkness pathway, honored as the "Ring of the Goddess," and wields a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact.

Aaron recalled his father, the Duke of East Chester's introduction in the carriage, and walked towards the Archbishop with his father.

Matthew Adams came forward proactively, drawing a Crimson Moon by touching his chest four times clockwise as he walked.

"Praise the Goddess. Welcome, Duke of East Chester and Lord Aaron. Please follow me into the church to confirm your faith."

Without unnecessary pleasantries, the group entered St. Francis Cathedral.

Upon entering the church, a solemn and peaceful scene came into view. Tall arched ceilings supported the entire space, and crimson moonlight streamed through the stained-glass windows, casting a faint scarlet glow on the stone floor.

The interior of the church was simple and elegant. Stone pillars extended along the aisles, bearing the weight of the entire structure. The walls were covered with ancient murals and frescoes depicting stories from the Bible of the Night and images of the saints. Rows of pews were neatly arranged in the center, quietly awaiting the faithful who came seeking peace.

A solemn and peaceful atmosphere permeated the interior of the church. Faint candlelight dotted various corners of the church, emitting a subtle fragrance. Although it was nighttime, the sense of piety within the church was still strong, with praying believers scattered in various corners.

Matthew Adams led the Duke of East Chester and Aaron into a private prayer room at the back of the church, where Matthew Adams would guide Aaron in becoming a follower of the Evernight Goddess, with the Duke of East Chester supervising nearby.

-----------------

After the usual questioning and a simple ceremony, Aaron officially became a follower of the Evernight Goddess.

Aaron frowned. Since entering St. Francis Cathedral, he had stopped concealing his uniqueness, even actively drawing upon some of the dark gold mist.

"There was no abnormal reaction even like this. It seems the Evernight Goddess's attention is mostly on Sefirah Castle right now, constantly monitoring it."

"No wonder as soon as Klein descended from Sefirah Castle, that Sequence 1 'Attendant of Mysteries' Beyonder characteristic dropped from Sefirah Castle into the Forsaken Land of Gods."

"However, in this case, I will have to take some risks. I hope the Goddess, seeing that I am already a follower of the Night, will not directly send down divine punishment."

Aaron took a deep breath, touched his chest four times clockwise, drawing a Crimson Moon, and facing Archbishop Matthew Adams and his father, the Duke of East Chester, he said with a slightly guilty look:

"Praise the Goddess. Archbishop, may I pray to the Goddess alone here?"

Facing this slightly abrupt request, Archbishop Matthew Adams smiled and replied in a gentle tone: "Of course, Lord Aaron. No follower of the Goddess would refuse such a request."

The Duke of East Chester frowned slightly but said nothing, leaving the private prayer room with Archbishop Matthew Adams.

After the sound of footsteps faded, Aaron waited for a moment, then got up and walked to the deepest part of the private prayer room, facing the wall, his thoughts racing.

Arranging a wall of spirituality could easily be detected by Archbishop Matthew Adams and his father, the Duke of East Chester, both demigods, which would be difficult to explain. Moreover, with mutual supervision, there's no need to worry about someone eavesdropping on my prayer.

Aaron sat on the floor of the prayer room, facing the holy emblem of the Night on the wall, while spiritual energy surged, connecting with the dark gold mist at the infinite heights of the Mind World island, and praying in a low voice.

"You are the Evernight Goddess who stands higher than the cosmos and more eternal than eternity."

"You are the Lady of Crimson, the Mother of Concealment."

"You are the Empress of Horroe and Misfortune, the Mistress of Repose and Silence."

Aaron paused, maintaining the connection with the dark gold mist, still feeling no abnormality.

He sighed, adding the last sentence with a wry smile: "Amanises."

That's right, Amanises, the true name of the Evernight Goddess.

This approach was the last resort, chanting the true name of a deity to attract the attention of a true god, dangerous but extremely effective.

Silently, Aaron's figure seemed to be erased by an eraser, disappearing bit by bit.

In the prayer hall, Archbishop Matthew Adams and the Duke of East Chester seemed to sense something, suddenly turned their heads, their pupils trembling.....
