Arrival in the Divine Court World
The bishop only knew a concept of the Divine Court: that thousands of years ago, a hero broke the level 100 limit and gloriously became a servant of the Gods. He knew nothing about the relationships and strengths among the Gods.
But Ming Yuanwu could figure out what those gods were doing.
They graze the earth, harvest faith, and Suppression the development of the Mortal Realm; otherwise, [Eldran] wouldn't have endured thousands of years of utter wasteland.
Ming Yuanwu's gaze was never on the Demon King or the Mortal Realm. He was always contemplating the world and the Gods.
He wanted to go home. Back to that world without gods, demons, or heroes. Although you needed money to live a decent life in that world, it was a million times better than this corrupt one.
"Alas, but I still need to improve my strength. Darkness has descended, and I have no power to change the suffering in the Mortal Realm; I can only strengthen myself first."
Ming Yuanwu took out the list the bishop had given him.
"You can go on a rampage in the slums. After darkness falls, the slums become more dangerous than monster caves in the wild. Killing these rioters and maintaining Order is practicing the way of the hero."
"They can also hunt down heretics, such as Scholars who have been promoting new doctrines, or rebels who want to overthrow the country... This one has already been overthrown."
Ming Yuanwu fell into an even longer silence, sensing that the people of this world had a different understanding of the way of the hero than he did.
"So it was the way of the Gods' dogs, not the way of the hero."
After looking around for a while, Ming Yuanwu chose a mission to hunt monsters in the wild. It didn't matter how strong or weak the monsters were, since the Myriad Church of Myriad Machines would send people to escort him anyway, and there wouldn't be any powerful monsters around the capital.
It appears to be a humanoid monster with an unknown skull that has occupied a key transportation hub, making it difficult to transport food from outside into the capital. However, a coup is taking place in the capital, leaving no one to clear it out, so the Church of Myriad Machines has taken on this task.
"Speaking of which, if one becomes stronger by following the ways of the Gods, is the Essence of that power truly one's own?"
With this question in mind, Ming Yuanwu and the Church members went to exterminate the monster.
[Su Luo: Approximately how much longer until you reach the location of this new civilization?]
[Song Shige: About seven more days, they're coming from the opposite direction at full speed. What civilization is it?]
[Su Luo: It's primarily a faith-based civilization, but it seems to have elements of Mana and technology, making it a hybrid civilization. It's extremely large, and I saw humans among the species.]
[Song Shige: Humans...]
[Su Luo: No need to be disappointed so soon. There are still Gods. We'll see how things turn out. The Faith Side can't survive in the Land of Darkness.]
That makes sense. The World Rules of the Land of Darkness do not generate Power of Faith, and civilizations Faith Side simply have a hard time surviving; they are inherently flawed.
Su Luo stopped communicating with Song Shige and began to focus intently on the situation ahead.
The Laboratory had arrived in front of this giant structure, and Su Luo could clearly sense the difference in space.
The space containing this colossal structure has a... fragile feel to it.
However, this sense of vulnerability is slowly fading, becoming like the space of the Land of Darkness.
The gravity is about two and a half times, and it is increasing at a very slow rate. It seems that the environment of this world, which was pulled into the Land of Darkness, is moving closer to the Land of Darkness.
This might explain the inconsistent gravity environment in the Land of Darkness; places with abnormally high gravity environments may be the ruins of other worlds.
Su Luo glanced at the large sphere at the very center and decided not to go in yet.
There are some terrifying and undisguised beings among them. We don't know how strong they are, but there are definitely at least level 10 Lords.
However, Su Luo didn't know why they were all staying in the large sphere at the very center, and he couldn't sense any powerful auras from the smaller spheres around them.
After pinpointing Jingjing's location, Su Luo drove the Laboratory directly towards the corresponding small sphere.
"When will the Warships arrive?" Su Luo asked Yun Xiaoxiao.
"It's mostly finished. If you need it, you can build the unmanned version now. The first batch will arrive in about ten days."
Yun Xiaoxiao understood what Su Luo meant.
The problem is they're short of cannon fodder. Although the Warships aren't weak, they're no match for the large sphere at the center.
"We've also moved the industrial integration system here. We have resources here, so let's prepare for a long-term battle. We'll start by infiltrating and gathering information."
During the conversation between the one person and the machine, the Laboratory had already entered the giant structure, located in the strange substance between the spheres, and the Laboratory's shield energy inexplicably began to decrease rapidly.
"What's this?"
Su Luo collected some and looked at them.
A highly mixed mixture of energy and matter, within which Su Luo discovered extremely low-quality Power of Faith, various kinds of trashy emotional power, physical remnants of Curses, and all sorts of other garbage...
It's like a giant junkyard, containing everything imaginable and posing a tremendous threat. Su Luo estimates that even creatures with 20 Attributes would be injured inside.
"These things don't function as the connecting or stabilizing spheres; something else connects and stabilizes them. These things are just junk."
That being said, Su Luo still controlled the Laboratory to screen and absorb some inferior Power of Faith, and then placed the [Scales of Supreme Goodness] on it to begin converting it into pure Power of Faith.
The efficiency was very low. Su Luo suspected that this inferior Power of Faith was filtered garbage, full of impurities, and the Power of Faith converted was very small. But every little bit counts.
Jingjing probably just found the nearest sphere and entered; this small sphere was located on the outer perimeter of the entire giant structure. Su Luo arrived there shortly afterward.
But before entering, he first circled the entire sphere and found that this world was quite interesting.
The surface of the sphere is covered with a very thick membrane. Su Luo calls it the "World Membrane".
Its main material is quite peculiar, and the energy it uses for operation and repair is primarily the Power of Faith. It can isolate the influence of the external garbage dump and can also filter and collect the Power of Faith.
Meanwhile, outside the World Membrane, there is a long pipe that connects to the large sphere at the center.
After the faith within the small sphere dissipates, it is collected and filtered by the World Membrane. Those of medium quality are retained by the World Membrane to maintain the operation of the World Membrane and the pipelines.
The lower-quality materials are screened and purified, and the waste is discarded. The highest-quality materials are transported through pipelines to the central sphere.
A very mature Power of Faith farming system.
Su Luo nodded secretly, feeling that it had some reference value.
As Su Luo led the Laboratory through the World Membrane, her gaze fell upon the chaotic and dark human world...
