God's Path

From the mouths of several believers,

Linsey and Alvitte confirmed a fact.

These Sky Island Cities of the Outer Ring World were insular and almost completely cut off from the outside world.

So obtaining any useful information here was practically impossible.

Naturally, Linsey and Alvitte had no intention of lingering.

They immediately changed direction and stepped onto the black bridge built by the believers.

Linsey and Alvitte also kept their promise.

They untied the ropes binding the three captives, but did not lift the suppression on their source material, continuing onward just like that.

The bridge built by the believers was quite unusual.

Its material had clearly been infused with source material. Its texture lay somewhere between steel and wood; it swayed slightly beneath their feet, but not violently.

Linsey and Alvitte carefully crossed the bridge.

They reached the other side. The neighboring sky island was even smaller than the last one, and they easily found the bridge leading to the next island.

"That's good news."

Linsey shook his head with a sigh.

"These believers came from the Middle Ring World."

"So as long as we follow the paths with these black bridges, we won't have to worry about heading in the wrong direction."

Alvitte, however, was more serious.

"But moving forward this way also means we'll run into more believers."

They crossed another sky island.

On the next island, they discovered a camp belonging to the believers.

Other than those who had gone to attack the city, those left behind in the camp were believers who had only just Awakened, or simply ordinary people.

Just observing from outside the camp, Linsey and Alvitte could see how impoverished these people were.

The effect of faith revealed itself at that moment.

Their standard of living was worse than that of the
