Priest

At the base of the Steel Pyramid was an arched doorway several meters high, which served as the entrance to the Main Church.

Church clergy members in robes hurried through the metal archway.

The robes varied in color and style—the best way to distinguish the identity of the clergy.

Looking around, most of the clergy passing through the metal archway were wearing white robes.

Chen Fan subconsciously glanced at the "guide" in front of him.

Hmm, the white robe is the same color, the same style...

Chen Fan nodded inwardly. It seemed these clergy members, like his guide, were the grassroots of the Church—Deacons.

Although Chen Fan's actions were subtle, the white-robed Deacon leading the way still noticed Chen Fan looking around.

He couldn't help but frown.

This batch of God Chosen should have been to the Main Church before. Even though this God Chosen in front of him had missed two Divine Decrees, he shouldn't be acting like this, right?

Could it be...

Thinking of Chen Fan's behavior along the way, the white-robed Deacon shook his head almost imperceptibly, casting aside the fleeting thought that had crossed his mind.

Perhaps, as the God Chosen's mother had said, the identity of a God Chosen had brought considerable pressure to Chen Fan.

"Keep up with me."

The white-robed Deacon, who was supposed to silently complete his guiding task, reminded him in a deep voice, "Don't look around."

"As a God Chosen, you should have the dignity of a God Chosen."

Chen Fan's expression froze, and he quickly restrained his small movements.

Just as he was about to follow the white-robed Deacon's steps, a dark figure entered Chen Fan's line of sight head-on.

The white-robed Deacon, who had been walking normally, also stopped.

He bent his knees slightly, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed respectfully to the front, saying, "Priest, greetings to you."

Priest?

A new clergy member?

Chen Fan quickly raised his head and glanced.

It was a tall man in a black robe.

The wide black robe and hood completely concealed the person in the darkness. A pair of red mechanical eyes stared intently at the world outside the black robe.

Unlike the simple white robes, the black robe was made of more exquisite material, and it was embroidered with a large number of profound patterns and designs in silver thread.

Whether from the clothing or the white-robed Deacon's behavior, there was no doubt that the Priest in the black robe held a higher position in the Church.

"Carlisle, well done."

A hoarse voice with a heavy metallic taste came from under the black robe: "The third Divine Decree has not yet begun, you are not late."

"Go, the Lord will remember your hard work."

"When the time is right, the Lord will bless you."

Hearing this, the white-robed Deacon Carlisle immediately showed a look of joy: "Thank you for the Lord's grace!"

Chen Fan, standing behind the white-robed Deacon, was stunned.

Without any substantial reward, a few light words could make someone grateful to the point of tears.

Damn, what kind of top-notch pie-in-the-sky technique is this?!

Just as Chen Fan was shocked by this pie-in-the-sky method, the black-robed Priest suddenly turned his head and shifted his gaze to him.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, he extended his right hand from the wide black robe, turned slightly to the side, and gestured towards the steel archway in front: "God Chosen."

"Please follow me, the third Divine Decree is about to begin, and the other God Chosen have already arrived."

Looking at the metallic arm in the sunlight, Chen Fan's pupils widened slightly.

Mechanical Prosthetic!

Like this white-robed Priest named Carlisle, the black-robed Priest had also undergone Human Body Mechanization Modification!

But this was not the fundamental reason for Chen Fan's shock!

Using the reflection of the Mechanical Prosthetic in the sunlight, in that instant just now, Chen Fan caught a glimpse of the scene inside the black robe's hood.

It was a completely modified mechanical face!

Slightly different from Carlisle, there was no skin visible on this face, only intricate pipelines and a cold metal shell engraved with complex patterns.

At first glance, Chen Fan even thought he had seen a robot!

"God Chosen."

The black-robed Priest's tone was cold. Apart from the honorifics, there was not a trace of respect: "Please hurry, you don't want to miss the third Divine Decree, do you?"

After speaking, the black-robed Priest did not stop and turned directly to walk towards the metal archway.

Chen Fan looked at the black-robed Priest's back and subconsciously turned to look at the white-robed Deacon in front of him: "Carlisle..."

"God Chosen sir, please go quickly."

Carlisle wore an ugly but gentle smile on his face. "My task is complete."

He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice to remind him,

"Lord Quinton is quite strict, please be careful."

Chen Fan looked at Carlisle in front of him with a stunned expression. Even he hadn't expected this white-robed deacon to say such a thing. "You..."

After a brief surprise, Chen Fan recovered and expressed his gratitude to Carlisle. "...Thank you, I will be careful."

Carlisle didn't speak, merely bowed and stepped back a few paces.

After bowing to Chen Fan, he turned without hesitation and quickly walked towards a steel pyramid not far away.

Watching Carlisle's receding figure, a hint of solemnity appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.

It sounded like this black-robed priest named Quinton wasn't someone easy to get along with. He wondered if it would affect his subsequent plans...

He suppressed the unease in his heart, turned, and quickly followed Quinton's steps.

A steel archway over three meters tall stood silently at the base of the pyramid. The door was engraved with a large number of complex patterns. Under the sunlight, these patterns shimmered with brilliant light, adding a touch of sacredness to the Main Church out of thin air.

Although the exterior of the Main Church was slightly different from what Chen Fan had imagined, Chen Fan still sincerely believed that the interior of the Main Church should be a magnificent holy place filled with religious and cultural atmosphere.

Given the massive exterior of this Main Church, even if there weren't grand murals and sculptures inside, there should at least be some murals full of religious meaning, right?

After all, his home had a portrait of the Goddess that covered an entire wall. A Church as large as this couldn't possibly fail to even produce a mural, could it?

Thinking of this, a faint sense of anticipation and excitement arose in Chen Fan's heart – this was undoubtedly the best way to gain a deeper understanding of the "False God."

With good luck, he might even find some information about the False God's origins and "achievements."

Therefore, as he followed Quinton's steps, he instructed One in his mind:

Remember to record everything you see in the Main Church. You might be able to analyze a lot of information from it!

One naturally agreed wholeheartedly to Chen Fan's request:

Don't worry, this unit is equipped with ultra-high-definition holographic photography function. The shooting effect will definitely exceed your imagination!
