Break Through the Enemy Stronghold!

The specializations drawn from the Extermination Order reveal just what kind of scoundrel this is.

Whether it's "Insane Murmur" that can control the mind and drive people mad.

Or it could be a "Foul Odor" that destroys the sense of smell and weakens perception.

Roger didn't really want it.

Although it's true that you can turn your expertise on or off.

But lately Roger's vigilance has been increasing.

This leads to increasingly lower sensitivity thresholds.

Even if it's a specialty.

He also had a sense of unease, as if being associated with something would make him unclean.

It took me a little time to convince myself that 'unused skills can be used up through the ' Specialization Crusher '.

Roger forced himself to look away from these two new expertise.

Inside the Earth's Core Cavern.

The moment the aura of the Ascended made its powerful debut.

All the Dragonkin knelt down in fear.

Very soon.

They realized that Roger was the great being who had answered their Conversion Prayer.

So they continued to kneel and worship.

They chanted monotonous, repetitive blessings and praises.

Faced with this group of terrified Dragonkin.

Roger did not linger in the same spot for long.

The existence of evil has been confirmed as a spiritual entity.

After the enemy was defeated and there were no other spoils of war.

Roger promptly disappeared from the spot!

A long time passed.

Only then did the Dragonkin, come to their senses.

They belatedly moved closer to the spot where Roger had just 'landed'.

Several Dragonkin, with reverent expressions, swept the sand from that land into a container and carefully preserved it.

After doing all this.

They talked incoherently for a while longer.

This led to the hasty completion of the High Priestess's funeral.

The evil that had been threatening the tribe's survival was thus eliminated.

The Dragonkin somewhat off guard.

However, that very night...

The converts, having regained their senses, held a grand celebration among the Treehouse.

Amidst the awkward chanting of the High Priestess's successor.

This group of Dragonkin worshipped the god who 'accepted' them.

And all of this.

Roger naturally took it all in.

He actually had a pretty good impression of these Dragonkin.

Although it is ugly and fierce in appearance.

But the Dragonkin were surprisingly simple and kind-hearted.

They were able to survive in such harsh conditions and uphold their principles.

This in itself is a miracle.

And then Roger arrived.

It's just a matter of finding a way to continue this miracle.

That night.

He did not reappear.

However, through position and perception.

He had a brief conversation with the New Dragonkin Priest.

From the mouth of the new priest.

Roger learned a great deal about the Dragonkin Tribe.

The most crucial one.

It's information related to evil deeds.

The Simba Tribe is a Dragonkin Tribe with a long history.

According to ancient records in the tribe.

This race existed before the great upheaval of the Eighth Historical Realm.

This has continued to this day.

They have weathered many storms and changes.

But it has never disappeared into the long river of history.

This is partly due to the protection of ancestors and deities.

On the other hand, it was due to the intelligence and strength of the Dragonkin themselves.

Let's talk about the former first.

The Dragonkin were an ancient group with a dual belief system of ancestor worship and deity worship.

They have a deep attachment to the will and spirit of their ancestors.

Through totems, stone carvings, and prayers.

They have preserved the most primal "Ancestral Power" throughout the ever-changing river of time.

These Ancestral Power are the guarantee of the tribe's continued Unceasingly Flourishing.

Correspondingly.

Every powerful Dragonkin who died left behind their power for future generations to use.

For a very long time.

With the continuous prosperity of the Simba Tribe.

The accumulated power of their Ancestral Power within the clan is also increasing.

The entire tribe prospered as a result.

But over a long period of time.

In the process of fighting against crises such as great changes in the world, natural disasters, and foreign invasions.

The accumulated Ancestral Power was slowly depleted.

This includes a long-term struggle against evil!

Even today.

The Dragonkin Tribe, driven to desperation, was able to send out such a strong "Conversion Prayer."

The remaining Ancestral Power played an indispensable role.

Regarding the worship of deities.

The Simba Tribe was a clan of Mystra in ancient times.

It is rumored that the Dragonkin's extremely high Magic Resistance is also a gift from Mystra.

For them.

Ancestor worship and deity worship are not contradictory.

In the monotonous social structure of the Dragonkin.

These two can coexist well.

However, this was accompanied by the disappearance of Mystra.

The Dragonkin Tribe gradually lost the protection of the gods.

That's how it slowly began its path to extinction.

Unless it's a desperate situation.

Dragonkin would almost never 'betray' their gods.

Even if this deity has not responded to their prayers for countless years.

Roger also happened to be in the right place at the right time by chance.

This newborn evil is more powerful than any before it.

It could indeed corrupt the minds of Dragonkin.

It was precisely because they foresaw this.

Only Dragonkin High Priestess would sacrifice himself to make a vow of conversion.

This promise is actually very important.

This means that from now on, the Simba Tribe can only be subservient to Roger.

If you break your vow again.

This tribe will be utterly hated by the gods.

It might even be rejected by the entire plane.

As for the latter...

The wisdom and strength of the Dragonkin are beyond doubt.

Don't be fooled by their ugly appearance.

But that's simply because it doesn't conform to human aesthetics.

Their charm is actually quite considerable.

Its overall attributes are also very high.

Their average level is even higher than that of the Horned Demon! You know that.

The Horned Demon is considered one of the best in Purgatory.

Roger glanced at it casually.

Most members of the Simba Tribe have better stats than the Horned Demons.

Unlike their close relatives—the weak Lizardmen.

Dragonkin were born with at least 40 Job Levels.

Adult Dragonkin are all guaranteed to be extraordinary.

Although there were no ascendants.

However, there are plenty of hunks who are almost ready to be promoted.

Such formidable overall strength is the prerequisite for their continued existence to this day.

See here.

Roger began to wonder how they could be troubled by a mere scoundrel! But soon...

He found the answer in the new priest's prayer.

turn out to be.

Evil is actually a general term for a type of demonic creature.

This monster has a peculiar characteristic.

Those who kill evil and their race will be infected with a curse called "Evil Name Fear".

It all started when the Simba Tribe encountered their first "evil creature".

They have been plagued by this curse for centuries!...

"Evil Name Fear: Greatly reduces the cursed's resistance to the Insane Murmur of 'Evil'; greatly increases the cursed's fear upon hearing the name of Evil;..."

This curse can be stacked repeatedly.

Every time an evil creature dies.

Those who eliminate evil and their clan will be burdened with at least one layer of evil curse.

See here.

Roger then realized what was happening.

There is no single evil.

These evil creatures have been harassing the Dragonkin Tribe for at least several hundred years.

Relying on the heritage of our ancestors and our own strength.

More than a hundred evil creatures have died at the hands of the Dragonkin.

It can be done every now and then.

Evil will inevitably arise from all of them.

Moreover, they are multiplying at an increasingly faster rate.

Drawn by the "Evil Name Fear".

Newborn evils swam in like a swarm of sharks drawn by the scent of blood.

It will rush to the Dragonkin Tribe as soon as possible.

Kill it.

The Evil Name Fear is compounded.

Don't kill.

Then the Dragonkin Tribe will completely lose themselves in the Insane Murmur echoing in the midnight! And wouldn't you know it...

The monster Roger killed was the strongest one in the last decade.

It is a truly Evil Lord.

The High Priestess was so desperate precisely because he had foreseen its existence.

This Evil Lord is highly likely to completely destroy the Dragonkin Tribe.

It's a pity.

It crashed into Roger.

On the data panel.

"Warning: You have been cursed by the Evil Lord (Evil Name Fear)"

"Curse Resistance (65%) in effect..."

"Fear Resistance (100%) is in effect..."

"You've been exempted from ' Evil Name Fear '!"

"Sixth Sense: You realize that to completely eradicate evil, you must eliminate its source. Do you wish to begin tracking it?"

Roger thought for a moment.

He himself does not have time to trace the source of the evil.

However, the hardworking and dutiful Little Wolf Cubs could be sent abroad for a while.

Roger then selected three wolves from the Injured Wolf.

After ordering them to trace the source of evil.

He then turned his attention back to the Dragonkin Tribe.

In general.

The Dragonkin actually had very high overall qualities.

Roger is highly suspected of trying to get a bargain.

"It seems like my luck is finally turning around!"

He thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

Immediately.

He then heard the Young Priest's devout and respectful request:

"May God grant us the Honored Name to use in our prayers."

"Let us serve and believe with all our hearts."

"Tip: You can convey your Honored Name and will to the first 'convert'."

Only in this way.

Only then can you truly gain their faith.

"Should we set ' Celestial God Body: White Turbid Serpent ' as the Honored Name for 'Converts'?"

"The Ascension Road: Honored Name Setting Successfully Completed!"

From this day forward...

Whenever someone silently recites the Honored Name of the ' White Turbid Serpent '.

You will then have a certain chance of sensing something.

If your relatives, believers, or converts recite this Honored Name.

You will have a very high chance of hearing his prayer...

After completing the operation according to the established plan.

Roger breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had actually wanted to create a pseudonym for "Divine Kingdom Practitioner" for a long time.

Using the Honored Name "White Turbid Serpent" was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Although his Celestial God Body was somewhat lewd and vulgar.

But it looks really good.

These thick, long, and ancient beasts are most likely to be worshipped by most races.

Roger only showed the Young Priest and the other Dragonkin a portion of the scene of his Celestial God Body "Devour Ruins" in the star trail.

This completely shocked the converting community.

Roger could hear their voices.

If at the beginning, the Dragonkin followed Roger simply because of his Conversion Prayer and their simple nature...

Now.

Faced with the powerful appearance of the White Turbid Serpent.

Their level of religious devotion increased by an average of 3 percentage points!

Just a few minutes later.

A drop of golden liquid formed in Roger's cell.

The drop of golden liquid spun around in the cell.

It was eventually swallowed whole by the Celestial God Body.

On the data panel.

"Record: You have obtained 1 drop of Faith Essence"

"Faith Essence: Mysterious Object will inevitably be formed when believers first convert or embrace faith."

This is a product of the Power of Faith after it has been highly sublimated.

If you grasp the principles of ' Divine Kingdom Practice '.

You can use the Faith Essence to create divine spells, upgrade divine spell levels, expand your divine kingdom, and so on.

Note: In the current state, the Faith Essence has no additional effect on you.

Roger is not yet an official Divine Kingdom Practitioner.

It's a waste to leave the Faith Essence lying around.

This thing will disappear quickly if you don't use it.

He simply fed it to the snakes.

In any case, this Celestial God Body will be his God Side a deity in the future.

Consuming the Faith Essence has many benefits for its growth.

Here.

Roger thought the matter was over.

After all, cultivating faith is not something that can be done overnight.

Trading two specializations, a drop of Faith Essence, and a powerful group of converts in one transaction is already a huge win.

Who knew what would happen after the Faith Essence was formed?

Roger received another prayer from the Young Priest.

But this time...

The other side is performing a sacrifice!...

"Hint: The Dragonkin Priest Kuban sacrificed a treasure."

"You have obtained one Pure Land Pearl."

"Pure Land Pearl (Dharma Treasure)"

"Status: Depleted Power (can be reactivated with Qi)"

"Uses: The Pure Land Pearl can be used to purify, expel, and resist Aberrant Matter;

When you possess 36/72/108 Pure Land Pearl.

You can set up ' Ten Directions Pure Land Grand Formation ' of varying sizes.

This array can completely expel Aberrant Matter.

in addition.

In the formation.

No one can use Extraordinary Strength other than aura.

The moment I received the Pure Land Pearl.

Roger saw a blurry scene before his eyes.

That was the scene of the Dragonkin Priest leading their tribes to worship and activate the Pure Land Pearl!

"No wonder these Dragonkin didn't turn into monsters!"

"There's actually something this good!"

"This is a magic weapon... Which Qi Refiner crafted it?"

Roger gently stroked the Pure Land Pearl.

He was trying to glean more information from it.

Unfortunately, the precious pearl has been lost for too long.

The mark of its owner has faded very much.

Roger could only vaguely make out the shadow of a bald man.

It's somewhat similar to the style of members of the Zen Gate sect.

However, Roger's specific identity remains unknown.

Besides the Pure Land Pearl whose power has dried up.

This time, the Young Priest, who was sacrificing the Dragonkin, even presented a "Secret Medicine Formula" of considerable value!...

"Secret Medicine Formula: Spring Field Wind"

"Spring Field Wind: A herbal mixture made primarily of ' Enlightenment Flower ', ' Queen Demon Vine Roots', and ' Dark Blue Toad Papules'."

After taking it.

It can significantly enhance resistance to ' Earth's Core Toxin '.

See here.

Roger randomly picked up a Dragonkin from the list of converts and glanced at him.

Um.

The data is indeed excellent.

However, his resistance to common toxins is only 600 points.

Only the targeted toxin resistance (Earth's Core Toxin) column has an astonishing 1744 points! So that's why.

The Simba Tribe obtained this Secret Medicine Formula a long time ago.

By taking large amounts of secret medicine.

The Dragonkin Tribe has accumulated astonishing targeted resistance in their bloodline.

Even now.

Even though there are no finished "Spring Field Wind" products left in the tribe.

But the newly born Dragonkin are still not afraid of the Earth's Core Poison Gas.

"That's the fundamental reason why they weren't wiped out by the poison gas!"

"Both the Pure Land Pearl and the secret formula..."

"This Dragonkin Tribe is indeed very rich in history."

Roger, of course, accepted the sacrifice from the Dragonkin without a second thought.

He desperately needs the Secret Medicine Formula.

The Pure Land Pearl is also in dire need of recharging.

Roger decided to keep it for himself.

All they need to do is return it to the Simba Tribe periodically so they can expel the Aberrant Matter.

certainly.

In response to the sacrifice.

Roger also provided some food and weapons.

I also gave the Young Priest a level 5 XP boost.

The rank of Young Priest is not high.

But he holds a very high position.

He was chosen as the target for XP Infusion.

Roger doesn't mind giving away experience points.

It also allows you to significantly boost your reputation and faith.

It can be said to be extremely profitable.

After doing all this.

Roger left some traces in the Simba Tribe.

Without looking back, he headed towards the coordinates at the Earth's center.

Several hours later.

Traversing the intricate underground caves.

The world in front of Roger suddenly became incredibly empty.

On the data panel.

Hint: You have discovered ' The Earth's Core World - Giant Beast Paradise'

This message accompanied the message.

The natural landscape before Roger's eyes had undergone an astonishing change—

The first thing to disappear was the ubiquitous Earth's Core Poison Gas.

After reaching a certain critical point underground.

The continuously erupting poisonous gas seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

There were no signs of any toxic gas explosion in the surrounding environment.

Secondly, a vegetation environment resembling Spring Field appears.

Moist and warm.

Lush greenery.

This was Roger's first impression of the Earth's Core World.

Immediately afterwards.

Several enormous dinosaur-like beasts roared and sped past overhead.

Illuminated by the glowing stone walls and moss.

Roger could see their scales and feathers! His Historical Knowledge told him so.

These creatures are real ancient dinosaurs! Their average level is above 89.

Roger once thought it was a giant Thunder Dragon.

They were utterly insignificant compared to these real prehistoric behemoths! In that instant.

It was as if he had entered a primitive world.

He moved nimbly and swiftly through the territories of the dinosaurs.

The erosion of this area by Aberrant Matter is clearly less than that on the surface.

But Roger noticed.

At least half of the dinosaurs were still turned into monsters.

Roger did not make a move.

It's just because I have other things to do.

About an hour later.

Roger finally arrived at the location indicated by the coordinates.

That was a mountain range deep within the Earth's Core World, with no end in sight! Above the mountain range.

A storm-like weather event is brewing!

Boom! Thunder and lightning!

Hint: You have discovered the ' Great Secret Realm - Dinosaur Manor '

"Should we enter?"

"Sixth Sense: You have sensed the presence of Slaughter Mask."

This is the gateway to the Dinosaur Manor and the Eighth Historical Realm.

And he's waiting for you on the other side of the 'portal'.

"Hehe..."

Roger paced back and forth outside the door for a long time.

After a while.

He stepped through the doorway.

But then it retreated swiftly.

Immediately afterwards.

Roger resolutely carried out the most crucial step of the plan! Escorted by a gentle breeze.

He vanished directly from the land outside the 'gate'!

"Notification: You have used 'Long-lasting Fragrance'!"

"Fragrance Lingers: You've Returned to the Alchemy Castle"

"Currently accessible Land of Lingering Fragrance: Winter Melon Island;"

Observer's Cabin; Simba Tribe;

The Earth's Core World: Pterosaur Nest

The scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.

Roger returned to the sparsely populated Alchemy Castle.

"I immediately activated ' Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing '!" "Constantine!"

"I am coming!"

Roger's eyes held a determination to kill.

Then, decisively locking onto the alchemist's aura! Heading straight for the heart of the enemy!
