[Shadows intermingle under the podium, layers upon layers of seats are filled.]

[In the front row are eleven disciples in black robes, joined by three high elders in red robes, with rows upon rows of apostles in attendance to observe the ceremony.]

[You stand on the podium, next to a blurry shadow in a grey robe...]

[Messiah: ...The Old World is on the verge of destruction, every faithful apostle has the hope to step through the gates into the New World.]

[The twelve disciples who follow the Savior with steadfast faith will be the first to enter the New World to spread the good news.]

[Today, we witness together the birth of a new guardian...]

[...]

The figure in the grey robe presiding over the ceremony is the ’Messiah’, the lord of the New World.

Lin Xun has no hint of reverence in him. He secretly sneers, thinking that the ’New World’ organization is fitting for villains, even their coronation words sound like a cult.

The script for the coronation ceremony is incredibly lengthy, so much so that Lin Xun feels drowsy. He can’t help but consider how the lengthy words of the ceremony might be why the Lord does not wish to crown any more disciples.

[...]

[For the most devout of guardians, we call their name with a sacred voice...]

[Please choose your new holy name!]

[1. Judas]

[2. Rufus]

[3. Roremont]

[4. Gusman]

[5. ...]

Lin Xun comes back to reality, recalling the previous instructions from Amos.

Although his title as ’Blood King’ is nice, it does not meet the disciples naming standards. The seeded player like Amos had already designated his ’sacred name’ before becoming the eleventh disciple.

Moreover, many disciples who are confident of themselves change their ’sacred name’ even before deciding to run for the competition.

Once their ’sacred name’ has been designated in the New World, their alias will no longer be ’Blood King’. Everyone will then call him by his ’sacred name’.

Lin Xun is slightly particular when it comes to choosing names, and not a single choice on the list satisfies him. He generates the list randomly a few times and still can’t find one he likes.

He hesitates a long time before pressing an option.

A private chat box pops up.

[Messiah: Have you not chosen your sacred name yet?]

Lin Xun smirks and promptly replies.

[Blood King: Your excellency, can I not change it? I think my current name is quite good.]

[Messiah: No, everything must follow the rules.]

Lin Xun frantically presses the random option, hoping for a pseudonym that’s at least a little pleasant to the ear.

The selection takes so long that even Amos from the audience couldn’t help but send a private message asking if something was wrong.

Lin Xun finally finds a passable name that vaguely corresponded to his ’Blood King’ in some way.

[You have chosen the sacred name – ’Cain’!]

[Messiah: The sacred name for the twelfth disciple is ’Cain’, who will faithfully follow the Savior, spreading the good news of the New World.....]

[...]

"So, Cain, huh. When rounded off, it’s pretty much the same as Blood King, isn’t it?"

Lin Xun is actually quite satisfied with this new name. When it comes down to it, the most important thing is having a well-known name.

The name ’Cain’ sounds so much better than something like Amos or Vesinu.

If some newcomers who don’t understand the situation join the New World, perhaps Lin Xun could use this name to attract some lost lambs.

It’s a pity that there are no names like Jehovah, Tathagata, or Odin in the list of sacred names. Otherwise, he would definitely choose one that is more impressive.

[Messiah: The Savior will not only provide the devout guardian with great teachings but will also grant steadfast disciples with a sacred authority...]

[You have gained the ’Disciple’s Robe’ (special equipment)]

[You have gained the ’Disciple’s crown’ (special equipment)]

[You have gained the control right of ’Disciple’s Sacred Mark’!]

[You have gained the control right of ’Hall No. 12’!]

Lin Xun is taken aback.

While the Lord continues the ceremony, he opens his inventory to check out the new equipment.

[Disciple’s Robe (special equipment): A small sign of the sacred flame is present on the left breast of the black robe, the flame not only signifies the destruction of the Old World but also the birth of the New World.]

[You can hide the ’Sacred Flame’ sign at any time, and the robe will appear as an ordinary black robe.]

[Wearing this equipment, you can hide your ’Soul Mark’ and show yourself in the ’sacred name’.]

[The effect of the robe not only covers ’Book of Letters’ but also ’Book of Athletics’ and any invasion function!]

[Disciple’s Crown (special equipment): A dazzling flame-shaped jewel is present at the center of the splendid crown, the flame not only signifies the destruction of the Old World but also the birth of the New World.]

[You can set the crown to be invisible while normally using the features of this equipment.]

[Wearing this equipment, you will be able to know the basic state of the apostles under your command who have been branded with the ’Sacred Mark’, including ’Soul Marks’, ’current difficulty level’, and ’times of passing the current difficulty’, etc.]

[Please note that both special equipments cannot be dropped, lost or traded normally.]

"The New World... it’s really impressive."

Upon seeing the capabilities of the two special equipments, Lin Xun finally understands how Amos knew of his alias ’Fire Transmission King’.

He also understands why Amos would affirm that his talent was extraordinarily excellent among the many apostles.

It turns out that as long as an apostle is branded with a disciple’s mark, a disciple can know the ’Soul Mark’ of the apostles under his command.
