Leveling the Holy City, Founding the Art of War Mansion / Organizing the System, Changes in Cultivation

The complete destruction of the Holy City is nothing. Lu Jun may be able to act arrogantly for a while, but if he wants to seize power smoothly and occupy the power vacuum that has been vacated, it will not be so easy and will cause waves.

If an angel betrays them, the situation is very different. Not only will they directly inherit the legal lineage, but their own people will also condemn them, inevitably sealing their fate and ensuring their eternal infamy.

"Shaga! How dare you?!"

"Gabriel, don't forget you are also Seven Archangels of the Holy City!"

Even if you can be a dog for a while, it won't last. You'll be dealt with sooner or later!

Several Archangel roared and warned Gabriel.

Hehehe, Lu Jun reached out and an invisible force descended, directly sealing the mouths of the Archangel, who could only glare angrily with their eyes wide open.

He looked down at Shaga and said indifferently, "Have you thought it through?"

Lu Jun cherishes talent and is unwilling to indiscriminately kill innocent people. He also intends to deal with this woman from the perspective of post-war governance. However, if she remains stubborn and unyielding, he will show her no mercy.

Upon hearing Shaga Gabriel silent for a long time. Under the threat of death and the approaching torment, the cracks in her heart grew wider and wider.

She couldn't imagine her own situation; the dark fate of women in war was far more terrifying and tragic than that of men. She could only say dryly, "I heard you've mastered Fusion Magic. It's a magical revolution. Will you promote it to the whole world?"

This statement indicates that Shaga has completely sided with Lu Jun, but is simply offering him a way out.

Saliel and his companions were filled with impotence, rage, and despair.

Lu Jun revealed his appreciation for the man's pragmatism, saying, "Of course, I made a promise to the person who developed this method."

"Very well, I surrender and am willing to accuse the Holy City of its sins."

Gabriel lowered his head, the restraints loosened, and his gaze swept over the Archangel who were being tortured while suspended in mid-air. His expression was complex, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. Finally, he said in a low voice, "The Inquisition Court is distorting the truth, using the pretext of investigating witchcraft, sorcery, and forbidden arts to eliminate dissidents."

"Many geniuses in the Magic World have died unjustly."

"The Holy Court, under the secret direction of the Archangel, fabricated a non-existent crime to frame Parthenon's Holy Son Wen Tai, and instructed the thirteen Great Judge Official to cast a black mark."

Shaga became increasingly agitated as she spoke; she had long been uncomfortable with some of the Holy City's practices, and now justice was being served.

"There's also the hidden Holy Shadow Organization, whose members are all forbidden from using spells. Anyone who threatens the Holy City's status is blacklisted! The sudden deaths of some important figures in the past are all related to them. The specific assassins are as follows."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's smile deepened. He had already activated the Triangular Dimensional Mirror to project the events here onto the entire Magic World, including the scenes of the Holy Shadow Forbidden Kuye infiltrating the Ancient Capital and the Archangel attacking Tang Yue and Lu Mei.

This is both an exposure of the angels' sinister ways and a deterrent to the major powers in the world. Anyone who dares to cross the line will be caught and tortured with all kinds of cruel tortures, even their entire family and nine generations will be punished.

Gabriel Shaga's speech was eloquent.

With the immense power of the four divine beings protecting him, Lu Jun, with a thought, retrieved one core member after another from the vast sea of Holy City, including the Holy Court, the Inquisition Court, and the Holy Shadow Mage. There were tens of thousands of them, regardless of whether they cursed or begged on their knees.

He didn't just pursue the chief culprits among the Seven Archangels; he also investigated and punished all the core members, pillars of society, and even the lower-level, blindly following members who committed evil.

However, Lu Jun was too lazy to torture this kind of person, so he simply killed them to give them a quick death. With a flick of his finger, the Tai'a Sword split into billions of sword lights and slashed down.

Whoosh whoosh!

With a sudden, sharp sound, numerous members were decapitated, their eyes wide open in death. Blood splattered across the Holy City, and a mist of blood fell from the sky, staining the pure white and sacred city body crimson and turning it into a mournful, blood-red color.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Lu Jun collected these high-quality mage souls into the underworld, so that they could be made into undead or resurrected and commanded in the future.

This drastic measure has truly shocked all those who are paying attention to this area.

Lu Jun never intended to be a good person this time, and he disdained hypocrisy. He was here to be Evil God, a great demon king.

Chapter 646 The Holy City Ripped Off, the Bing Ce Fu is Established

Holy City.

The Archangel, including Saliel, Michael, and Raphael, had empty expressions.

It's over, everything is over. The Holy City's elite and core forces have been wiped out in an instant. Even if they manage to escape this calamity by chance, having lost a large number of subordinates, they will no longer be able to control the world situation and will be completely confined to a corner of the Holy City.

Besides, would Lu Jun possibly let them go?

With the complete annihilation of its loyal elite forces, its core base has begun to falter once again.

The millions of residents of the Holy City were deeply shocked to witness the Archangel himself defecting from their side, coupled with a bloody massacre.

Finally, some of the weaker ones broke down in tears, crawled on their knees to Lu Jun's feet, and begged for mercy, "I'm willing to kill the angels! I know Michael the angel's relatives! Please spare my life!"

Soon, at his pointing out, several disheveled noblemen and women were pulled out from among the commoners, their faces filled with fear and unease, glaring angrily at the group of troublemakers.

Seeing this, Lu Jun laughed loudly and looked at Michael mockingly, saying, "Using any means necessary, even targeting other people's relatives, how about that now?"

Michael completely broke down, his expression twisted and ferocious as he shouted, "I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong! The human world cannot tolerate Evil God like you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun mocked, threw out the Tai'a Sword, and said to the men and women who were either Michael's family members or his wife, "I'll give you a chance: kill Michael, and I'll let you live."

Upon hearing this, the Archangel' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and they cursed with fury, "Heretics! Devils!"

One of the noblemen trembled, staring at Lu Jun with a face full of fear, then looked at his uncle, and finally said with a ferocious expression, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I want to live!"

"I made some minor mistakes in the Holy City in the past, but instead of helping me, you, as an angel, severely punished me. Since you are impartial and incorruptible, don't blame me for only seeking to live today!"

Michael's nephew was filled with jealousy and resentment. His identity as an angel did not bring him any benefits. He was restricted in terms of resources and was constantly monitored for fear of affecting his family. He had no freedom whatsoever.

While other noble children shone brightly and became high-level Super Rank mages, he was still lingering at the Intermediate Level. Fearing public criticism, he missed many opportunities. How could he not resent it?

At the same time, all the relatives, families, and clansmen of the Archangel were found, and those who were occasionally overlooked were eagerly brought to them by various national powers.

Then the Forbidden Curse Mage responsible for guarding him silently bowed to Lu Jun and left.

The Western Continent was terrified. Even ordinary Emperor were not confident in dealing with them, let alone the Dominator Emperor and the Rooftop Emperor. They were two major stages apart and could only submit and rise and fall.

Ah!!

The torture began, and the screams of the Archangel echoed through the heavens.

Lu Jun's Reincarnation Double Pupils reflected these scenes that violated human ethics: sons killing their fathers, wives killing their husbands, subjects rebelling against their rulers, and Saliel being abandoned in the Demon Beast realm. Every commoner stepped forward, taking knives and forks to cut his flesh, subjecting him to a thousand cuts.

After a day and a night, the torture ended, and millions of the Holy City's inhabitants were disoriented, lifeless, and devoid of faith.

On the cross, only six white skeletons remained of the Archangel, their flesh and internal organs devoured. Yet they were not dead, suspended by a strange life force, enduring the entire process.

The angels like Michael are beyond description as having a deathly still heart; they are no longer human, their minds twisted into demonic forms. Anyone who falls into this state will absolutely undergo a drastic personality change.

Lu Jun chuckled, half of the anger in his heart finally dissipating. He didn't intend to let the remaining angels go so easily. As the master of life and death, he could easily control the dead and the living, the living and the dead, and those who remained in a state of neither life nor death for a lifetime.

He opened up the underworld where the Death Godhead resided, and took the Archangel into the underworld, making them pawns under his command, tormented and driven for eternity, and used by his enemies.

"From this day forward, the Holy City is destroyed!"

Lu Jun slapped down, obliterating the buildings and symbols of the Holy City, the powerful sound echoing throughout the world.

Not only that, he said in a low voice, "From now on, my Bing Ce Fu will take over the Holy City's forces!"

His calm voice wasn't loud, but it was full of warning.

The Five Continents Magic Association, and even various forces, were initially overjoyed at the destruction of the Holy City, feeling that they had finally returned to the era of their past tyranny. But the next moment, their faces fell, for one big one had left, and an even bigger one had arrived.

Although Lu Jun loathed the Holy City, he had to admit that unifying the Magic World was a step forward, and he even needed to go a step further than the Holy City to become an authoritarian ruler.

At this stage, he has decided not to interfere too much with the existing rules and regulations, and to carry out reforms after things have gradually stabilized and become more familiar with them.

This unexpected situation has come to an end, but its impact is far-reaching. The collapse and replacement of order is destined to require a long period of upheaval and adjustment.

At this moment, Lu Jun stood atop the Holy City, his gaze distant and leisurely. He had just finished the great battle with the Sea Monster and was preparing to seize a new opportunity to expand his power. He planned to consolidate his foundation before plotting against the Holy City.

Unfortunately, the world does not change according to human will.

The Holy City wasn't one to passively await its demise; it intervened directly, disrupting the plans. While destroying the Holy City might be satisfying, it has become an insurmountable obstacle, requiring a lot of cleanup and digestion.

Lu Jun sighed, "Very well, I must work harder on my own cultivation and refine the four divine cores... no, the five."

In his perception, as the angels were all destroyed and the Holy City collapsed, the pillars of faith of millions of devout residents crumbled, and endless evil faith poured in from them and even from the Western Continent.

Rumble!

Around Lu Jun, beside the four divine cores and four worlds, another divine core phantom appeared. It was a thirty-six-petaled lotus platform that was half black and red and half holy blue. The boundless spiritual power shook the void, thus opening up a dreamlike and magnificent fantasy world.

The five divine attributes have been united!

His aura was even more terrifying; he wasn't even a novice among the Rooftop Emperor. Of course, it would take some time before he could convert his enhanced combat power into cultivation.

Within Lu Jun's Spiritual World, the five elements of life, death, mind, water, and chaos advanced by leaps and bounds.

In particular, water and chaos represent a vast difference; the former advanced to a forbidden spell in one fell swoop, while the latter reached Super Rank, condensing the Supernatural Power of chaos.

In addition, the Metal Element is also making good progress. The repeated wars and the resulting global turmoil have absorbed a lot of its essence.

He also needs to go into seclusion to sort out these advancements in his cultivation and fully grasp his realm.

At this very moment, in the Ancient Capital of Kyushu, the Bing Ce Fu learned that Lu Mei, Ding Yumian, and Tang Yue were all coming to the Holy City with a group of core members to take over the Holy City's industries. There were many things to do, and much commotion ensued.

In short, Lu Jun will be staying in the Holy City for a while, and the world is entering a new era, requiring all parties to adjust their strategies and adapt to the times.

Chapter 647: System Overview and Changes in Cultivation Level

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

So many major events have happened during this period that the world is overwhelmed. First, the Pacific Empire, which came with great momentum, was defeated in the Nine Continents. Then, the Cold Moon Eye Demon God, one of the world's ten rulers, the Deep Sea Undead Queen, and the Sea Monster Emperors were all wiped out.

The war potential unleashed by the Nine Provinces in this battle shocked the West; at least for now, no country has the resources to rival the Dominator Emperor.

Just as the influence of the Nine Provinces was rising sharply, the Holy City died suddenly. Because of the many dark things that Gabriel exposed, and Lu Jun projecting the real evidence into the world, everyone felt that the Holy City died for good.

Finally, Lu Jun, the central protagonist of this series of hot events, has become the de facto number one human by successively slaying Sea Monster and destroying the Holy City.

The power vacuum left by the Holy City was completely inherited, and with the strong support of the Nine Provinces, although the world order was profoundly affected, it remained largely normal, and no one dared to provoke Lu Jun.

Of course, with the rise of the Nine Provinces and the decline of the Holy City, a clear shift occurred where the East was stronger than the West.

Moreover, Lu Jun, an Easterner, clearly occupies the power of the Holy City and is above the five major Magic Association. No Westerner can ignore this. Traditional noble families such as the Imperial Dragon Victoria Family and the Giant's Enemy Tuers, are vying to surrender and come to visit him.

At this moment, in the Holy City of the Alps.

The original Holy City was filled with a sacred, solemn, and dignified religious atmosphere. Under Lu Mei's leadership, it underwent a major transformation, with black and yellow as the main colors and brown and red as accents, forming an architectural style reminiscent of ancient Eastern architecture.

The personnel of the Bing Ce Fu have a basic grasp of all aspects of affairs. Fortunately, the management scope of the Holy City is not large, and they are not involved in specific political affairs. They mainly act as a supreme judge and sword bearer, maintaining military preparedness year-round to deter the heroes of the Magic World.

With Lu Jun still alive Gabriel having surrendered, the deterrent effect of the Swordholder remains. The remaining core structures, such as the Holy Court, the Inquisition Court, and the Holy Shadow Organization, can be gradually filled in.

It requires Lu Mei, Jun Yaojin, Professor Yuan, and others to grow into powerful individuals, and for the graduates of the Three Thousand Ancient Capital to advance to higher Super Rank, in order for it to function effectively.

Moreover, Lu Jun had already decided to reform the system, first abolishing the Inquisition Court and then establishing a [Calamity Academy] to gather Calamity Bringer and young talents who practice forbidden and evil arts. This would not only be to properly cultivate their talents but also to provide responsible supervision.

The Holy Court was retained, and the [Bing Ce Guard] was reorganized. This organization was actually just a tool for the Holy City to act as the world's ruler, cloaked in the righteous guise of the Magic Covenant... Of course, it had to be retained, and the original guard members were incorporated into it.

The only change is that the ideology has shifted from maintaining the Holy City's authoritative rule to regulating the dark side of various countries, at least to eliminating the lawless and unchecked activities of the former Black Malicious Wolf Society and the Black Vatican.

Including the Holy Shadow Organization, he knew that every power had its dark side. Having this organization was better than having no weapons to monitor inside and outside when things came to a head. It was just renamed [Shadow Guard], and its members were drawn from a group of undead who couldn't see the light of day.

That's right, they're just the Archangel, Su Lu, and other disguised and anonymous tools, simply being used as waste.

To some extent, the newly established Shadow Guard has become the most powerful organization in the Bing Ce Fu.

In addition, Lu Jun plans to add institutions, establishing a [World Research Institute] and a [Fusion Academy].

The former, with Feng Zhoulong as dean and Professor Yuan Shaga and Yuan as vice deans, gathers magical researchers from all over the world to contribute their talents to the advancement of magic.

There's no need to worry that the three of them can't control the researchers in the entire magical society. With the Fusion Magic and the Water Cycle project to revitalize the Northwest, their reputation will be at its peak.

In order to promote magical innovation, the latter has recruited all the geniuses and talents of human society. If the Calamity Academy is aimed at a small number of special monster groups, then the Fusion Academy is aimed at the elites of various forces.

Currently, Lu Jun's design of "one hospital, two wards, and two academies" can be said to encompass all the functions of the Holy City, and even exceed them by a large margin.

In any case, the reorganization of the five major organizations is a highly progressive move, far better than the original Holy City group that occupied social resources but did nothing of substance.

Lu Jun thought that since he had overthrown the Holy City, he should do something meaningful, otherwise how could he demonstrate his righteousness and greatness? Once many achievements were made, great scholars would naturally defend his actions.

In particular, the three new institutions—the World Research Institute, the Fusion Academy, and the Calamity Academy —form a stable tripartite balance.

The Research Institute can study the principles of magic on freaks and other abnormal beings, develop new technologies, promote them, and dispel fear and superstition. Meanwhile, the two universities are competing with each other in a healthy way.

After Lu Jun planned out the five major institutions, he went into seclusion. The specific planning was organized by Lu Mei and other trusted confidants. In just half a year, the establishment was finally completed. A Research Institute and two universities were recruiting students from the public, which immediately caused a great stir.

The first principal of the Calamity Academy was Ding Yumian, and the first teacher was Lu Wei Xi. Both of them were Calamity Bringer, so no one would suspect that this was a trap. The magical freaks who had hidden themselves away because of the power of the Holy City were secretly tempted.

The Fusion Method taught at the Fusion Academy are renowned for their power, attracting numerous noble families who eagerly seek to gain a favorable position in the new wave of reforms. The World Magic Research Institute is no exception.

It was against this backdrop that magical families from the Western Continent, such as the Victoria family of the Dragon Royal Family, the Victoria family, enemies of the giants of the Parthenon Temple, and the Riden Royal Family Spain, came.

Even the Jiuzhou Zhao, as well as members of the forbidden Five Continents Magic Association, requested a visit.
