At that very moment, ten thousand pilgrims truly witnessed something exhilarating and inspiring—bright bodies radiating brilliant beams of light, like the sun itself shining forth. The magnificent light enveloped them, revealing the true glory of the divine, the very glory of our Light God. "Our Light God, you have conquered the mighty demon Abaddon, who ruled the cosmos, you have redeemed us, rescued us from darkness, and led us toward the path of light!" Ten thousand pilgrims fell to their knees, bowing in reverence. Highlight, Ying'er, and the Goddess of Victory stood together, with Highlight standing at the highest point, receiving the faithful prayers of the people. Highlight gestured for everyone to rise and addressed the ten thousand pilgrims: "The true sovereign of Mount Saint-Michel is the Great Angel Saint-Michel!" As Highlight spoke, the white-clad Great Angel Saint-Michel appeared in the sky, smiling kindly upon the ten thousand pilgrims. The crowd erupted in cheers. Finally, this French holy mountain has returned to the hands of Saint Michael, the great archangel. "Victory! Victory!" someone shouted in the crowd. It turned out that many French citizens had already recognized the goddess of victory and had gathered around her in a frenzy. Watching the crowd surge toward her, the goddess of victory, speaking fluently in French, said, "The light has been granted to all—victory is now near!" "Clapping! Clapping!" the crowd erupted in applause. "We welcome the goddess of victory back to the Louvre!" someone boldly proposed. The goddess smiled and said, "Excellent!" Yet she glanced toward the god of light, Hengliang. Hengliang immediately understood her intention—she wished to return to the true divine realm and would not remain on earth. Hengliang beamed and addressed the crowd, "Close your eyes for five minutes—then the goddess of victory will return to the Louvre!" The people closed their eyes. Gao Liang was watching the Goddess of Victory, swiftly carving on a block of marble. Soon, his diamond-fingered hand shaped the figure to be identical to the Goddess of Victory—only missing a head. As she departed, she gently kissed Gao Liang on the lips and said, "I'm leaving! Everything else now rests entirely with you!" With that, she soared into the air. Gao Liang nodded and replied, "You can count on me!" Five minutes passed, and then people gasped as they saw the statue of the Goddess of Victory—yet there was no trace of the living goddess present. Gao Liang chuckled and addressed the entire French populace, "Though this is a statue, it is the very embodiment of the Goddess of Victory—look! At her eyes, at her lips..." "Wow! Her eyes are blinking! Her lips are slightly open!" the crowd exclaimed in delight. "Hurry and bring this lively, spirited statue back!" A French official issued an order, and thus, everyone rallied together to transport the statue of the Victorious Goddess to Paris. The statue, restored and highlighted, stands proudly at the Louvre Museum in Paris, drawing attention and admiration from people around the world. Though the statue is headless, today, through our refined and perfect carving, the harmony between the head and the body achieves a seamless, complete unity. There is one head and one body—combined, they form a whole human figure. Having only the body, without the head, feels as though a soul is missing; having only the head, without the body, lacks true outward beauty. The Victorious Goddess embodies a sense of triumph—a vibrant, exhilarating excitement, a feeling of pride and confidence, of rising with spirit and grace. The sculpted head of the portrait is truly outstanding—it's a masterpiece of art. No artist in the world has ever managed to capture the perfect head of the goddess of victory, yet our high-light has achieved this feat. The scene then shifts to Mont-Saint-Michel. Inside the church of Mont-Saint-Michel, a solemn ceremony takes place. The archangel Saint Michael personally serves as a witness, bearing witness to the love between Gao Liang and Ying'er, Zhang Yuping, Chen Yuting, Dong Jiao, and Yu Die. Immediately following, a grand wedding ceremony is held, with everyone in attendance offering heartfelt congratulations to the couple—a perfect match of talent and grace. Gao Liang and the five beautiful women press their hands tightly together, holding on so firmly they seem afraid they might fly away. The six of them walk together down the red carpet, each of the five women dressed in elegant, pristine white wedding gowns, more beautiful than celestial nymphs. Their faces are beaming with joy, making them the happiest people in the world. Highlighted, dressed in his best suit, moved with the grace of a gentleman, commanding and dignified—a refined Eastern beauty, his face bearing the warm smile of a successful man. At that moment, Father Saint Michael, the heavenly patron of the church, came forward to officiate the wedding ceremony. After a prayer, he looked solemnly upon the happy couple and said: "Mr. Highlight, do you solemnly promise to marry these five noble women—beautiful, gentle, kind, and intellectually brilliant—your wives, to love them, comfort them, honor them, and protect them as you love yourself? And throughout your life, regardless of their wealth or poverty, health or illness, will you remain faithful to them, cherish them, and love them deeply, until the day you leave this world?" "I do!" Highlight gazed深情ly at his companions—Ying'er, Zhang Yuping, Dong Jiao, Chen Yuting, and Yu Di—and declared with unwavering determination. Father Saint-Michel nodded, then solemnly addressed the joyful young ladies—Ying'er, Zhang Yuping, Dong Jiao, Chen Yuting, and Yu Die, saying: "Ladies, would you each be willing to marry the young man standing beside you—handsome, charming, kind, and talented—as your husband, to love him, comfort him, respect him, and protect him, just as you love yourself? Would you remain faithful to him, devoted and affectionate, through thick and thin, whether he is poor or wealthy, sick or healthy, and stay by his side, loving and supporting one another, until the end of life?" "We are willing!" With tender glances fixed upon Gao Huang and in soft, heartfelt voices, Ying'er, Zhang Yuping, Dong Jiao, Chen Yuting, and Yu Die replied. As soon as the words were spoken, thunderous applause erupted, and flowers and ribbons began to rain down. Large balloons floated gracefully in the air, suspended with long banners bearing the messages: "For Life," "Forever," and "A Hundred Years of Harmony!" Long streamers of colorful balloons filled the sky above the venue, greatly enhancing the atmosphere—what a magnificent sight! At the site, couples exchange wedding rings as symbols of their marriage. After the six couples happily exchanged and fastened their rings, Father Michel praised them warmly, saying: "The rings are made of gold, symbolizing that you will offer your most precious love—like the most treasured gift—to each other; wearing them with you signifies that your love will accompany you wherever you go; gold never rusts or fades, representing that your love will endure forever; and the circular shape of the rings symbolizes an unreserved, continuous love—never broken or ending."
