The Great Hunt of Sang Continent Grotto officially began.
The Four Continents advanced from four different directions.
Beyond the outer ring of the Awakening Experiment zone lay a vast, boundless primeval forest. Back in the days when the Church of Storms plundered its followers, this place had already been a savage wilderness overrun by beasts.
The Source Matter Tide stirred up by the Ice Sea anomaly had, through years of accumulation, brought subtle and mysterious transcendent changes to this land.
The creatures living here... had shown signs of "transcendence" long ago!
That was why the Holy City had set its sights on this place long ago.
More than one transcendent creature had once appeared here. The Holy City had conducted many experiments in Sang Continent Grotto and plundered no small amount of resources.
Of course, before the Awakening Experiment began, the number of beast spirits had been nowhere near as vast as it was now.
The yearly capture count had likely been fewer than a dozen.
A medium-sized Source Energy Airship hovered above the outer ring of Sang Continent Grotto.
A young man draped in an azure Church of Storms robe stood with his hands behind his back. His skin was golden like wheat, and his eyes gleamed the same brilliant gold.
Saint Gadie, the youngest of all the saints of the Church of Storms.
He was also the only Fourth Order.
"Gadie, has the hunt begun?"
A dignified voice sounded within Gadie's Mental Sea.
"Spring Plow, it has begun."
Gadie spoke to "that person" across the Mental Sea.
The Holy City had a total of six "saints."
The Church of Storms possessed enormous faith and deep roots. These six saints jointly ruled over seven major territories and twenty-two states.
The strongest saint among them bore the title "Spring Plow."
