The power displayed by Witch K surprised her, making her question the meaning of life. If the Creator had truly awakened, did it mean she had been abandoned?

Or perhaps, witch K accidentally completed the ritual, and is using that to plan something?

"Sylvia, what are you doing here?" Magana asked warily.

Although Rosalin was more skilled than her, the two knew each other better, and Magana knew Rosalin well, making it unlikely that the latter would actually kill her.

But Sylvia is different.

This woman is insane; when she gets ruthless, she'll even kill her own people!

Sylvia ignored Magana and looked at Rosalin, continuing, "Since you're also a member of the Witch Society, you should know where the transformation ritual is located, right?"

Rosalin frowned. "What do you want to do?"

"I'll take care of them for you, just take me there."

"Sylvia, are you joking?" Rosalin was amused. "The Hand of Darkness and the Gate of Janus have been fighting for centuries, and now you want me to cooperate? On what grounds? Just because you're the Pope of Janus?"

Sylvia's lips curled slightly upward. "Because I have received the Creator's attention."

"!!!"

Rosalin and Witch K both showed expressions of surprise.

Magana looked puzzled.

She couldn't understand.

How did Sylvia get involved with the Creator again?

"That's impossible." Witch K scoffed. "Sylvia, how could a pope Janus Path, possibly receive the attention of the Creator?"

"Of course, it's because of my piety!" Sylvia spread her hands, her long robes flowing like outstretched wings. She abandoned her usual coldness and nobility, speaking in an arrogant tone, "The gods have fallen silent, order is collapsing, and a chaotic world is about to descend upon the earth. No one can stop it! But this world belongs to the supreme creator, Balshatt, and only His resurrection can save the Rhea Continent!"

"Rosalin, I have been chosen by the Creator and am qualified to embark on the path to Divine Path. If you take me to the Land of Transformation, once I have completed my transformation, I will rebuild the Witch Society, gather faith, and offer everything for the Creator's arrival!"

Rosalin: "..."

Sister, the way you're saying things makes it sound like you're waiting for an evil god to descend.

She remained silent for a long time, sensing the change in Sylvia's aura; it was indeed somewhat different from before.

Furthermore, she had been wondering why Sylvia would instigate the internal strife within the Gate of Janus. If she had already abandoned the Janus Path and turned to the Creator, then all of this would make sense.

"Okay, I'll take you there, but I don't need your help to deal with them."

Rosalin wanted to verify it. She didn't believe that the Creator's resurrection would abandon her. She would know once she went to the place of the transformation ritual and let Sylvia try it.

If Sylvia succeeds, then the Creator's resurrection is inevitable. Although it's somewhat regrettable, Rosalin will still fulfill her duties as a witch.

But if Sylvia fails... she can pray at the ritual site to verify whether the witch K is a traitor or a loyalist.

"No! Rosalin, you can't take her!" Witch K said in a deep voice, "That's the biggest secret of the Witch Society."

Sylvia smiled faintly, "What, are you afraid that I'll complete the ritual and take your place in the Witch Society?"

Sylvia smiled.

She was confident that once she got there, she would succeed.

Sylvia originally came to the Southern Continent to find Ryan, who promised her that he would take her to the place of ceremony once Lin Qi was put on the papacy.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed the Witch Society amongst themselves.

She didn't want to wait any longer.

Since there's already a chance, why pin your hopes on Ryan?

After all, she was someone who had been watched over by the Creator. Whether it was Ryan or the witch K, they had only come into contact with those secrets earlier than her. If the Creator hadn't been still asleep and unable to respond to requests, how could Ryan have been qualified to negotiate with her?

Now is the best opportunity for her to embark on the Divine Path!

"Let's go, Rosalin, it's time to set off." Sylvia smiled inwardly. She knew Rosalin would agree because she understood the latter's feelings at this moment, that feeling of pleading without getting a response. Over the years, she had tried countless times and was certain of Janus's silence.

"Good."

"Stop right there!"

Without hesitation, Witch K activated the Hubert's Dagger, Dagger merged into the void and shot towards Sylvia.

But Sylvia simply swung her scepter, sending the Dagger flying.

"Janus's Scepter..."

Witch K gritted her teeth, her gaze fixed on the scepter in Sylvia's hand. It was a Divine Artifact, and the heirloom of every pope of the Gate of Janus.

She completely overwhelms Hubert's Dagger in terms of level, and Sylvia is stronger than her in terms of strength. If the two of them were to fight, she would have no chance of winning.

"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise I will finish what Rosalin didn't do."

As Sylvia spoke, she glanced at Port of Misi below.

The meaning is self-evident.

"Rosalin." Witch K looked at her old friend with a last glimmer of hope.

"Walk!"

Rosalin waved her hand to open the Chaos Channel, gestured to Sylvia with her eyes, and then stepped into the passage.

Sylvia smiled slightly and followed, but stopped abruptly just before entering. She paused, turned back, and said calmly, "Tell Ryan I'll be back for him soon. I hope he'll still have the courage to negotiate with me then."

Swish!

The Chaos Channel closed again.

"Hey! Hey! You just left like that?" Magana flew to Witch K's side and said with exasperation, "Why didn't you fight her?"

Witch K scoffed, "Why don't you go?"

"I can't beat them. I haven't even reached the Eighth Tier yet, but aren't you the Church's Grand Protector? And that place is very important, right? Is it really okay to let them go there?"

"..."

Witch K thought to herself, "Even the Grand Protector can't defeat him, so what can I do?"

However, Witch K also had her own ideas. She knew Rosalin; the latter didn't want to cooperate with Sylvia, but just wanted to verify her suspicions... Alas, it seems the Creator really didn't bestow any divine decree upon Rosalin. It's also my fault; I've been following Ryan around these past few days and completely forgot about Rosalin.

Because of Rosalin's special identity, Witch K did not intend to expose herself easily. The Primal Church was developing too rapidly and would definitely attract other forces to join forces to attack it.

Rosalin will be in the shadows while she's in the open, catching them completely off guard.

But to everyone's surprise, Rosalin became anxious.

"I should have talked to her before entering the City of Desire ..." Witch K muttered, then looked at Magana, "Do you have a way to contact Ryan?"

Magana asked in confusion, "Didn't you go to the City of Desire with him?"

He's gone, I can't find him.

"What!?"

Magana glared, "You lost Grand Duke Ryan?!"

Witch K's lips twitched slightly. "You little brat, you dare to talk to me like that? It's only because of Ryan that I'm doing this. Otherwise, I'd let you experience the consequences of provoking an adult."

"Tell me quickly, is there any way?"

"Yes, you don't?"

Magana suddenly laughed.

As expected, in Ryan's heart, I, the Grand Duke, am not some nobody on the roadside.

Can it fight? What's the use of being able to fight?

"If you find him, contact him immediately and tell him what happened here. I'll go check out the ritual site first."

Leaving behind a single sentence, Witch K opened the Chaos Channel and stepped inside.

"Hmph, once I break through to the Eighth Tier Grand Duke, I'll slaughter you all!"

Magana said angrily, then pulled out a mirror and quickly contacted Ryan.

Despite my anger, I still need to get down to business.

However... even she couldn't handle a battle between three top- Eighth Tier experts, so what's the point of telling Ryan? Oh well, let's contact them first.

On the other side.

Inside the Imperial Castle of the Augustus Empire.

Ryan, who was discussing national affairs with Vainay and Ina on his luxurious bed, felt the ripples in the mirror and stopped charging.

"Oh, it's the Grand Duke? Why did you suddenly come to see me?"

The headquarters of the Witch Society, the Babel Tower.

"We're here." Seeing the familiar scene, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Rosalin's eyes. She hadn't returned for many years in order to hide her identity.

Sylvia looked up at the towering tower that reached into the clouds, her face filled with undisguised excitement.

The transformation ceremony... finally... finally, we've reached this point!

"It's a good thing I came to the Southern Continent. If I had waited for Ryan, with that cunning guy's personality, he might have made some outrageous demands. Hmph, I'll deal with his matter later... Creator Balshatt, grant me the power to embark on the Divine Path!"

Phew! It's almost over. The plot actually sped up a bit. On one hand, I haven't had enough energy lately, and on the other hand, there are some flaws in the setting, which makes the Alts characters feel underdeveloped and makes writing very difficult. And... I've been having really bad luck lately! I'm taking Chinese medicine, and last week I found out my tooth is decayed and I need to do a root canal. I'm so... (?_?)

Chapter 221 Powerful Integration, Unifying the Continent!

Ryan never expected that a war would break out in the Southern Continent while he was only gone for a short while.

No, it's not a big deal that they fought, since he started it, but Rosalin's appearance was indeed somewhat unexpected.

I never expected that guy to be a member of the Witch Society. He's been hiding his identity and biding his time for so many years without anyone noticing. Judging from the Grand Duke's description, he seems to be disappointed because he wasn't 'chosen'?

Ryan was speechless. If you wanted to be watched, you should have said so earlier! I've been watching you in the Misty Space every day, from morning till night without a break!

It's all Witch K's fault! Why didn't she say something so important sooner? Otherwise, she could have joined forces with the Hand of Darkness and taken over the Southern Continent long ago.

However, what Ryan didn't expect was that Sylvia would suddenly appear and join forces with Rosalin.

Considering the harsh words the other party uttered at the end, it's obvious even to a fool that this Pope couldn't wait any longer; she desperately wanted to become a god.

Then Ryan laughed.

You've become a god, and now you want to cause me trouble? Is the problem with you or with me?

Alright, since you want to change your faith, then I'll have to give you a proper conversion.

After finishing his business with Vainay and Ina, Ryan found a quiet place and calmed himself down to wait.

With his current strength, it doesn't really matter where he is; he can get there in just a few minutes.

So Ryan didn't go to the Babel Tower, but went directly to the Misty Space.

Because the conversion ritual involves praying to Him, it means He can definitely hear the voice and respond to it to some extent.

Sylvia previously projected stars into the Misty Space; if the other party is sincere enough this time, the same thing will surely happen. Then... heh~

Ryan waited patiently.

Looking up now, you can see another 'Milky Way' in the misty starry sky.

That is a reflection of the Path of Wisdom.

After the two paths were projected in, the power of the Misty Space was enhanced, and Ryan's own strength also increased, but he felt that the increase was not significant.

After reaching the level of a god, refining another Faith Path is not of much help, but Ryan did gain another memory, and the two memories can be merged together.

He felt that once he had collected all four copies, he should be able to unlock his past life memories.

Suddenly.

A star within the Misty Space lit up with a bright light.

"They've arrived?"

Ryan reached out and touched the stars with his Mental Power. As the light rippled outwards in concentric circles, a phantom image appeared on the stars—a scene of Sylvia performing a transformation ritual!

Adele had been to the ritual site before, so Ryan was quite certain that Sylvia was kneeling in the center of the ritual array, her hands clasped tightly in devout prayer, silently reciting incantations.
