Chapter 308

Sylvia murmured to herself.

She tried, verified, and did it repeatedly, traversing countless fragments of Inner World space and enduring hardships before finally finding information about the true creator. To become a god, she could not stop here.

"Just as the Primal Witch mentioned, the Creator seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, and it appears that sufficient power is needed to awaken Him. However, I currently have no way to definitively sense His presence... It's a pity that even within the Church there are no records of the Creator. Did Janus usurp the throne? Or is it for some other reason?"

Sylvia raised her head and glanced at the enormous Statue of Janus in front of her.

Suddenly.

She reached out and grabbed at the air.

A magical letter landed in my hand.

"From the Saintess?"

Sylvia read the contents of the letter into her mind, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"The Primal Church? Belief in the Creator? The Primordial... is it a force created by the Primal Witch? Never heard of it for thousands of years, yet it has appeared now. Perhaps this is proof of the Creator's resurgence."

Sylvia's eyes flickered slightly.

She was determined to investigate thoroughly.

"Hain."

Her voice echoed through the empty palace.

"Pope!"

Before long, the palace gates opened, and a man dressed in silver armor walked in, kneeling on one knee before Sylvia.

"Your Holiness, you're finally back!"

"Hain, what's been happening on the mainland lately?"

Sylvia has been gone for a while, and she is still unaware of the situation outside.

"Your Holiness, the Arcadia Empire invaded the Northern Continent, but failed. Ultimately, the Saintess intervened and facilitated peace talks between Arcadia, Augustus, and the Northern Federation."

Sylvia nodded slightly. "She certainly has a talent for this kind of thing... Arcadia must have paid a heavy price for it, right?"

"No, that's not the case. Chosen of the Gods has emerged in the Arcadia Empire, Saintess, as Honorary Bishop, has admitted him to the Church... However, I've discovered something very interesting that you, Your Holiness, might find interesting."

Sylvia raised her eyelids. "What is it?"

"The Chosen of the Earth God one of Arcadia is Ryan."

"Um?"

Sylvia was taken aback.

She suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Janus had given a divine oracle, instructing 'Lin Qi' to bring Ryan to the church.

"Just who exactly is this Ryan?"

Chapter 192 The Great Church Purge, the Second Brother Unifies the World

Night falls.

Port of Misi is a stronghold of the City of Desire.

The kerosene lamp burned quietly, illuminating the figures of the people inside the room.

"... Elder Hyde's latest order is for us to seize control of Port of Misi as soon as possible; we don't have much time left."

"There's no time to lose, why don't we act tonight? The preparations are already complete."

"That being said, the Blood Cult army that appeared some time ago is still missing, and there's this Primal Church that's suddenly appeared in Port of Misi. I'm afraid there are other forces that also want to seize Port of Misi."

"We must indeed be wary of the Blood Cult's army. As for the Primal Church, I've never heard of it; it's probably just a rabble."

"Too many changes have occurred; we can't wait any longer."

What do you think?

Inside the room, the people at the core meeting of this stronghold of desire exchanged glances and finally reached a consensus—tonight, we will rise up!

Due to the failure of the City of Desire's plans in the Northern Federation, coupled with the overly stable situation in the Northern Continent, the City of Desire has temporarily decided to shift its focus in the struggle for faith to the Southern Continent.

Coastal cities like Port of Misi, which are prosperous and bustling, are key targets for various churches. The City of Desire had been developing its presence there for half a year, but only recently shifted its focus and decided to take over this port city.

"It seems everyone agrees." The leading man, wearing a hood, nodded slightly. "In that case..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud, rough knocking sounded on the door.

Bang bang bang!!!

"Primal Church, open the door!"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

"Primal Church?"

"What's going on? How did they know we were here?!"

"No, the Primal Church is still in its early stages and doesn't have many members. How dare they come looking for trouble?"

"Go out and take a look!"

"Prepare for battle!"

As the saying goes, skill breeds daring. Those present were all key figures placed in Port of Misi by the City of Desire, mostly third or fourth-tier experts, with some even reaching the fifth tier. Would they fear a mere newly risen small church?

However, before they could even leave, the door to the house was blasted open with a loud bang, and what rushed into the house was not the followers of the Primal Church, but a group of soldiers wearing blood-red armor!

"Damn it! It's the Blood Cult's army!" The people of the City of Desire were shocked.

"Run! It's the Blood Cult!"

The Primal Church? Tiny trash.

Blood Cult Army? A killing machine!

Even the army supported by the Ring of Abundance was completely wiped out. These people simply couldn't possibly win, so there was no need to say more; all they had to do was run for their lives.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered in despair that the barrier of the Inner World had already been deployed at the same time the Holy Blood Army stormed in. The barrier released by Shally was impossible to break unless one was Seventh Tier Transcendent.

Kill! Leave no one alive!

At the front of the crowd, the Holy Blood Army, clad in blood-red armor, roared, his entire body bathed in crimson power, as strong as a war god.

Since Shally received the title of Holy Blood Angel, the entire Holy Blood Army has undergone a further transformation. In particular, the officers who had already distinguished themselves in the Holy Blood Army have seen their strength increase dramatically, and their speed has become unbelievable.

Their advancement differs from that of ordinary Supernatural Being; it is tied to the entire Holy Blood Army and influenced by the Blood God's Will and Shally's strength. And what these two types of individuals have in common is—kill, kill, kill! The more they kill, the stronger they become!

The most powerful officers in the Holy Blood Army have now reached the fifth rank, which completely transcends the qualification limit between mortals and extraordinary beings. Ryan calls these people the Holy Blood Guards.

Sizzle!~

With a swift stroke, the officer's blade cleaved through the Magic Power shield, the power of holy blood tearing it in two!

The battle erupted inside the house. Some people used their strength to break through the encirclement and rushed outside in an attempt to escape, only to find in despair that there were even more Holy Blood soldiers outside.

On the towering, spire-like rooftop, Shally stood beneath the suspended moon, her bright eyes gazing indifferently at everything.

She didn't intervene because it wasn't necessary.

As long as she is here, the Holy Blood Army will not lose.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the outcome was never in doubt: the group of villains who attempted to rebel in Port of Misi were all killed.

Once the battle was over, Shally removed the barrier, then waved her hand, and a mist enveloped all the soldiers, putting the army back into stealth mode.

"To the next outpost."

She said indifferently.

Tonight, just like back in Berman City, she is the Underground Emperor sweeping away all forces!

The next day.

As the sun shone brightly over Port of Misi, the entire city suddenly descended into chaos.

The bloodshed went unnoticed during the night, but in the morning, strongholds filled with blood and corpses were discovered one after another. The Port of Misi's defense forces were immediately mobilized, and the entire city was placed on high alert.

"City Lord, something terrible has happened!"

Inside the castle, an officer hurried up to Lady Winchel.

"General Aide, don't rush, let's talk things over." Winchel, with his long golden hair, spoke with an air of Winchel, taking a sip of his tea and slightly raising his eyelids. "You're an old general of Port of Misi, yet you're still so impulsive."

"City Lord!" General Aide said anxiously, "Something terrible has happened! Almost everyone in the church strongholds throughout Port of Misi has been killed! The City of Desire, the Hand of Darkness, the Eye of Dawn... all those strongholds, big and small, some of which we were monitoring, and others we didn't even know about, are all gone!"

"Hmm~" Winchel responded lightly, then leaned back in her chair, stretching lazily. "Isn't that a good thing? I've wanted to get rid of these forces for a long time, and now that someone has done it for us, that's perfect."

"But City Lord, the fact that someone could accomplish something like this overnight is enough to show how terrifying their strength is. I'm worried that they may have ill intentions."

"Have the city defense troops suffered any casualties?"

"No."

"Someone from our church is dead?"

"No... no."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Ed asked in confusion, "Lord City Lord, is this one of your methods?"

Winchel chuckled. "General Aide, just do your own thing. Don't worry about things that aren't your business."

Seeing this, Ed confirmed his suspicions.

Indeed, besides the Ring of Abundance, what other power in Port of Misi could achieve this?

It seems the church sent experts to help the City Lord eliminate external threats.

After Ed left, Winchel glanced at the corner of the yard behind him, and soon after, Sesia came out.

"I didn't expect you to actually do it. So what's next? What is the Primal Church going to do?" Winchel looked at Sesia warily. The latter was stronger than her. If Jonathan hadn't given her a heads-up beforehand, she would never have been able to meet Sesia.

"Although the strongholds inside Port of Misi have been eliminated, the major powers will definitely send people over once they receive the news. You've offended quite a few forces this time, and Port of Misi will likely become the target of everyone's attacks."

"Knowing this, why did you still agree?" Sesia crossed her arms, puzzled. "There's something I don't understand. You're the City Lord of the Ring of Abundance, why are you helping us?"

"Heh~ The so-called City Lord is just a nice-sounding title. In the face of absolute power, these are all illusory things. Besides, this is Jonathan's idea. I'm helping you not because I acknowledge any creator, but purely for Jonathan's sake."

If it weren't for Jonathan's influence, Winchel would have sent a message to the Ring of Abundance long ago, and started suppressing the Primal Church from the very beginning.

She might not be able to defeat Sesia, but the Ring of Abundance, as the largest faith organization of the Earth Goddess, has quite a few seventh-tier powerhouses within it.

"Just for that Jonathan? You're willing to betray the Ring of Abundance?" Sesia found it unbelievable.

"You're quite the character," Winchel scoffed. "I seriously doubt you're even from the Southern Continent. The so-called Church is essentially no different from the Kingdoms and Empires; faith is just a convenient tool for governance. Besides, does my faith in the Earth Goddess conflict with my betrayal of the Ring of Abundance? Who says the Ring of Abundance represents the Earth Goddess?"

Sesia was taken aback. Could it really be calculated like that?

That makes sense, since the Goddess never truly acknowledged the Ring of Abundance. The so-called struggle for faith is essentially the same as the wars between empires.

At the human level, it's simply a matter of self-interest.

"Next, the Primal Church will completely occupy Port of Misi. You need to make all your men become members of the Primal Church. Can you do that?" Sesia asked.

"That's no problem. You can have all the resources of Port of Misi. My condition is that you must guarantee my position City Lord and help me resolve any troubles when other forces attack Port of Misi."

"Don't worry about that. Whoever comes, we'll handle it."

Having reached an agreement, Sesia left quickly. She believed that Winchel wouldn't dare to deceive her. Although the Primal Church had few people in Port of Misi, they were all experts, especially Miss K. She thought that she would be able to control her after advancing to the seventh rank, but she found out from their last meeting that K was still unfathomable!

She didn't know just how strong Witch K was, but she knew she was no match for her.

With such a mysterious master present, one can imagine how powerful the Primal Church must be. The Church has probably been developing in seclusion for over a thousand years. Even Arcadia could not possess such a foundation.

Sesia's only worry now is that Ryan might be in danger staying with the Primal Church. What if the Primal Church turns its back on him? In any case, she is determined to protect Ryan.

Even Sesia herself didn't realize that Ryan's position in her heart had begun to surpass that of the Twin Emperors. Although she still subconsciously thought that she was protecting Ryan according to His Your Majesty's orders, in reality, she had slowly begun to take Ryan's shape.

In the following days, with Winchel's tacit approval, the Primal Church emerged and began to openly spread its faith in Port of Misi.

Previously, it was all petty theft; the church's influence was developing far too slowly.

With official backing and the elimination of other church forces, the initial expansion went very smoothly. In just three days, Ryan lit up hundreds of stars in the Misty Space!

However, the light from these stars was very faint. He discovered that the stars reflected in the Misty Space by powerful believers were much brighter than those of ordinary people.
