The Turning of the Tide

In the Coiling Dragon world, the gap between the God-level and the Saint-level is so vast that it absolutely cannot be made up for by sheer numbers; a single Divine Domain is enough to render any peak Saint-level expert completely unable to move.

Of the eleven Lowgods present, three had gone off to slaughter the Saint-level experts who had come to participate in the siege of the Radiant Church.

God-level experts have divine sense that covers ten thousand miles. Given such a distance, combined with the large number of Saint-level experts already within the Radiant Church, those from the Darkness Church basically had no chance of escaping.

When a God-level expert—even one who became a god by refining a Godhead—wants to slaughter Saint-level experts, the latter generally have no power to resist, no matter how many of them there are.

This is also why, before Sean reached the God-level, he never dared to encounter a God-level expert, choosing instead to hide and scurry about.

It was fortunate that, back then, he was like an ant in the eyes of the God-level experts and was not paid any mind, which allowed him to successfully survive until today.

It was also thanks to the manifestation ability in his mind; otherwise, without the innate talent of a God-Eater Rat, his achievements by this day would have been at most the Saint-level.

He likely would not have known how long it would take to become a god. Previously, while in the Miniature Plane Space, after becoming a god through the Laws of Darkness, his Darkness divine clone specifically cultivated the Laws of Darkness, while his Saint-level original body began to re-cultivate the Earth element.

Unfortunately, in an environment where the concentration of elemental laws was over a hundred times that of the Zhongyuan Continent material plane, he was still only cultivating the simplest Mysteries of Earth Element, yet even at the final step, he could not break through no matter what.

However, it was not without benefits. While in the plane space, by studying the large number of books on Earth-style magic brought from the early Radiant Church, combined with some introductions from the original work, Sean successfully gained an entry-level understanding of Earth Pulse.

Before the Mysteries of Earth Element were fully mastered, all he could do was fuse these two mysteries.

It was just that as long as he remained at the Saint-level and had not become a god, there was no change in terms of combat power.

"Satisfying. After this battle, the Darkness Church will no longer have the ability to contend with us," a Radiant Lowgod said.

"Indeed," another person said. "It is a pity that Patrek remains a great threat. With him around, we can never be at ease."

Mipiaozhen also nodded and said, "Correct. Everyone, let us stay gathered together for the time being. As long as we are together, Patrek will not dare to come looking for us, especially while Sean is still here."

Everyone looked at Sean again. The fact that they could deter Petrick today was still thanks to Sean.

Otherwise, if the ten of them joined forces and the Radiant Magic Battle Formation were broken, Patrek would only need to slowly maneuver around to kill them one by one. If that happened, the entire Church would be doomed.

"I just don't know if there are any other God-level experts within the Darkness Church," Sean said with a frown.

In reality, even for him, now that he was completely exposed, it was not convenient to run around alone anymore; one Patrek was already difficult enough to deal with.

If the Darkness Church had a few more Lowgods and they suddenly surrounded him together, he would actually be at risk if he did not use Sovereign Power.

"That is hard to say, but even if there are, I suspect there would only be one or two," Mipiaozhen said. "Sean, every time a God-level expert becomes a god, the Laws of Heaven and Earth descend."

"The most recent time, which was when Patrek broke through to become a Midgod, we all felt it. We only made preparations for defense after we investigated it later; otherwise, if a Midgod had suddenly attacked, we would not have been able to stop it at all."

"Unless they became a god by refining a Godhead, it is impossible to hide from other God-level experts in this plane. And those who become gods by refining a Godhead have limited potential, so the threat is relatively smaller."

Speaking of this, everyone, including Mipiaozhen, looked at Sean with curiosity once again. Becoming a god in such a short time was one thing, but why had they not sensed the descent of the Laws of Heaven and Earth? Given the strength Sean displayed, it was impossible for him to have become a god by refining a Godhead.

However, since Sean was unwilling to speak, they could not ask too much.

"Hmm, that makes sense, but we must still be on guard. As long as Patrek is not eliminated, the threat to us is too great," Sean said, nodding.

Actually, it was fine; he had manifested the Miniature Plane Space. Otherwise, becoming a god on the Zhongyuan Continent plane would certainly have alarmed all the God-level experts of the entire plane.

If there were a Midgod nearby, he would have been in danger. For ordinary people, having a powerful Lowgod nearby when becoming a god was equally dangerous.

In terms of danger, the Coiling Dragon world is eternally present. The Godhead in the head of every God-level expert is a supreme treasure.

"It is good enough that we can hold our ground for now," Mipiaozhen said helplessly.

Even if there are many Lowgods, it is very difficult to kill a Midgod.

"Everyone is tired as well. Let us go back and rest first. In a few days, we will hold a grand banquet in Qingyue City to celebrate properly. After so many years of living in fear every day, we can finally relax a little," another person said.

"Sean, what do you think?" Mipiaozhen asked.

"No problem, I don't mind," Sean said.

He needed faith power, and the prerequisite for obtaining it was to let everyone on the continent know his name. Therefore, keeping a low profile was meaningless.

If he could reach the Midgod realm with the help of faith power, then Patrek, who was giving them such a headache now, would be killed in one move before him, whether by innate divine ability or pure material attack.

Most importantly, once he reached the Midgod level, there would be too many good things he could manifest, enough to increase his strength countless times over.

After the God-level experts killed a large number of Saint-level experts from the Darkness Church, there were still a large number of troops brought by the Darkness Church, experts below the 9th rank, and so on. The God-level experts naturally would not take action against these people; that would be too embarrassing.

Subsequently, the eleven God-level experts returned to Qingyue City, and Mipiaozhen even arranged a palace as a temporary residence for Sean.

The imperial palaces of the mortal world were far inferior to this place. Sean only needed to scan with his divine sense to discover over a thousand maids and guards.

Becoming a God-level expert meant obtaining unprecedented status, power, and even the power of life and death.

However, these were merely icing on the cake; what was truly important was the improvement of his strength.

In the evening, inside a mansion in Qingyue City, Leilia was pondering what had happened today. She also knew where Sean was staying and thought about going to find him, but she always felt it was inappropriate.

"Leilia." Outside the room, Sean's voice rang out.
