Chapter 62: Chapter 60: The Temple of Light
The group arrived at the Temple of Light, a grand structure glowing with divine energy. Renxue's connection to the temple was immediate, her aura resonating with the sacred energy.
"This place feels... alive," Yueling said, her eyes wide.
Renxue nodded. "The temple is a source of pure light energy. If the Shadow God corrupts it, it will plunge the God Realm into chaos."
As they entered, the system chimed:
---
[New Trial: Protect the Temple of Light]
Objective: Defend the temple against waves of shadow creatures.
Reward: Divine Light Blessing – Enhances all light-based abilities.

The trial began, and waves of shadow creatures poured into the temple.
The Battle
Xiao Tian and Renxue fought at the front, their combined powers of light and dragon energy devastating the enemy.
Ling'er and Mei Lan held the sides, their fire and ice creating an impenetrable barrier.
Zhao Yue and Feng Yue worked from the shadows, ambushing enemies before they could reach the temple.
Yueling remained in the center, her healing waves keeping everyone energized.
Despite their strength, the creatures kept coming.
"This isn't enough!" Renxue shouted, her spear glowing brighter.
Xiao Tian turned to her. "The temple is connected to you. Use its power!"
Renxue hesitated, then closed her eyes, focusing on the temple's energy. Her body glowed with divine light, and a massive burst of energy erupted, obliterating the remaining enemies.

Feng Yue smirked. "I hope so. The Shadow God isn't one to take defeat lightly."
As the group prepared for their next challenge, their bond grew stronger, united by their shared purpose and trust in one another.
