Conditional Exchange

Since they were all in the same city, all god-level experts could communicate via divine sense, so the other god-level experts had naturally known of Sean's arrival for a long time.

"Sean." Mi Piaozheng was very enthusiastic upon seeing Sean, and the other several Lowgods were the same, greeting him politely one by one.

"Mi Piaozheng, everyone." Sean nodded in the direction of the group to show goodwill, though he only paid real attention to the other four.

He already knew that within the Radiant Church, of the 11 Lowgods, only four had actually become gods independently; the others had all become gods by refining a Godhead.

The situation was similar for other sects and even the god-level experts from the oceans outside the Zhongyuan Continent; among god-level experts, more than half had become gods by refining a Godhead.

Sean still held those who became gods independently in higher regard. In a material plane, anyone capable of becoming a god independently possessed great perseverance and was worthy of a little respect.

"Come, sit." Mi Piaozheng said with a smile, gesturing for Sean to take a seat.

It was a round table with no head seat, which seemed to indicate that the god-level experts within the Radiant Church had no distinction between superior and subordinate before this.

This made sense; they were all Lowgods, and even if there were gaps between those who refined a Godhead and those who became gods independently, it usually wouldn't be very obvious.

In the original story, the War God had refined a Godhead, while the High Priest had become a god independently, and before Linley was born, neither could do anything to the other.

After everyone was seated, Mi Piaozheng took the lead and said, "Sean, this time, I want to thank you very much on behalf of the Radiant Church for your help. Otherwise, in that previous battle, once Huoqi's light magic array was broken, even if we few managed to escape, I'm afraid we would have only been able to flee to the Higher Planes or the Divine Planes.

And the entire church would have been completely wiped out; I'm afraid not a single one of our relatives or friends would have escaped."

God-level experts also had families, friends, and even disciples; they were not aloof beings without emotions. Protecting the church so fiercely was actually mainly for this reason.

"You're too kind, this is what I should have done." Sean said with a smile: "The church raised me when I was young, and besides, I have friends here as well."

"Good, then we also welcome you to become a member of our church." Mipiaozhen laughed.

"No problem." Sean nodded, then asked: "So, since everyone is here today, is there something else?"

"There is." Mipiaozhen said: "There is one thing we need to ask for your help with."

Sean asked: "Is it about dealing with Patrick?"

"It has something to do with him." Mi Piaozheng said: "Although we now have 11 god-level experts, we can only gather together, because once we scatter, it is highly likely that we will be ambushed by Patrick. You also know that we cannot sense his divine consciousness."

"So what are your thoughts?" Sean nodded and said.

A Midgod's divine sense could not be detected by a Lowgod; even having a set of three Sovereign Artifacts plus being a super divine beast could not change that.

In other words, even if Patrick were in Qingyue City at this very moment, they wouldn't know.

Unless he got very close to Sean, which would be enough for his Darkness Laws to sense the abnormality in the surroundings.

And among everyone present, besides Sean, I'm afraid no one else could withstand an ambush from a Midgod. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

Even Sean was unwilling to live under such a threat for long; he also wanted to resolve this trouble as soon as possible so that he could conveniently obtain the Power of Faith.

"If Patrick wants to run, it's hard for us to surround and kill him, but if we had a larger number of god-level experts, perhaps there would be a chance." Mi Piaozheng said.

11 Lowgods were certainly not afraid of one Midgod, but that was on a head-on battlefield. If this Midgod were smart enough to roam and ambush, it would be a disaster for the Lowgods.

However, if their numbers were higher, the probability of surrounding Patrick when he appeared might be a bit higher.

"You mean you want the Lowgod Godheads I have?" Sean naturally understood what these people meant immediately.

"Yes, but we won't take them for free. Over the years, we have had a large number of treasures in our hands, including Soul Golden Beads, which can all be used for exchange." Mi Piaozheng said.

"Soul Golden Beads? Those are good things. An exchange is fine, but I also need the Power of Faith." Sean paused and said.

In the Higher Planes, the price of Soul Golden Beads was far higher than that of Lowgod Godheads, perhaps because there were too many Lowgods in the Higher Planes.

After all, the lowest level of life in the Higher Planes was the Saint-level, and with the suitable environment, there were naturally more Lowgods, making it much easier to obtain Lowgod Godheads.

In the material plane, Lowgods were very rare, and they were harder to kill. However, Soul Golden Beads were different; once a Lowgod who cultivated the Death Law appeared, they could launch a "Darkness Turmoil" to refine Soul Golden Beads. Without other god-level experts to stop them, the number of Soul Golden Beads would certainly not be small.

Fortunately, the huge cost of teleportation between planes blocked this price difference; otherwise, who knows how many material planes would have suffered.

This might also be a way for Sovereigns to protect the material planes.

Since Lowgod Godheads were more important in the material plane, Sean naturally had to negotiate the terms. Moreover, he still had a dozen Amethysts; with a soul-defending Sovereign Artifact, there was no difference between Amethysts and Soul Golden Beads to him.

"Power of Faith?" Mi Piaozheng was not surprised and said: "It is only right that you obtain some territory after becoming a god-level expert, not to mention that you saved the entire church. I will arrange for a territory with sufficient area and population to be allocated to you, so that the people in this territory will believe in you."

"Territory? Is there any left now?" Sean asked.

"Of course there is. How vast is the area of our Radiant Church? It's only been a dozen years, and the Darkness Church actually has no ability to take over these areas. Patrick's main goal before was to kill us." Mi Piaozheng said with a smile: "Throughout the entire Zhongyuan Continent, except for a few places, our previous territory is still under our control.

However, if something happened to us, they wouldn't be able to hold it for long. Now that the Darkness Church has suffered heavy losses, it is even more impossible for them to have the ability to take over. No matter how strong Patrick is, he is only one person; how could he have the ability to manage such a large territory!"

"That's true." Sean nodded and said: "However, my requirements don't stop there. What I want is all the Power of Faith currently held by the Radiant Church."
