The changes in the Dark Cathedral naturally drew the residents' attention. However, after Dark Bishop Palmer had exploited the residents of Shelter City to the bone, they were more than willing to have a different city lord. When they learned that the new city lords were the daughters of the Warm Nest, beings from the Abyss, the residents nearly cried out.
They had finally gotten rid of someone who worshiped the Abyss, only for someone originating from the Abyss to arrive directly afterward.
However, after Ayesha/Delona removed the "Soul Dark Mark" from every resident in the city, more than half of Shelter City's residents rushed toward the teleportation tower at the city center. They intended to leave this place.
Su Xiao had a rough idea of what Shelter City would ultimately become. A faction supporting the city lord would emerge and manage the entire city. If the faction's several decision-makers truly cared about Shelter City's future and worked to maintain and develop it, then everyone could coexist peacefully.
If that faction harbored evil intentions, the current city lord was the contemporary "Fated Advance." She could package the entire faction and send it to a distant place in the Abyss with the "Power of Wishes," where they could reunite with Dark Bishop Palmer.
By dusk that day, Bubu Wang had finished remodeling the Dark Cathedral. Although it was still a seven-story building, it no longer resembled a cathedral. It looked more like an ordinary building. At first glance, aside from being taller, it was hardly different from the surrounding structures.
However, its defensive power was extremely formidable. Even if an outside enemy attacked and Shelter City failed to sink into the Dark Sea immediately, this building would certainly be the last structure remaining in the city under the enemy's fierce assault.
