The blazing pillar of fire instantly transformed into rising black smoke.
The black energy was everywhere, constantly crowding into Daoist Miao's body.
Although Daoist Miao will not split open again, the pain he is enduring now is no less than when he split open before.
The Fairy looked puzzled. "This is clearly the Land of Faith of the God of War, so why are there other faiths here?"
Qin Ze didn't understand the intricacies of the situation and asked, "Is this strange?"
The Fairy nodded. "Of course it's strange."
"It's like finding a brand new graphics card in a goblin cave."
Qin Ze suddenly realized. "I understand."
Miss Sword Case whispered, "What's a new graphics card?"
Qin Ze casually said, "It's adult stuff, kids shouldn't pry into it. You'll understand when you grow up."
Miss Sword Case: "..."
The Divine Markings on Daoist Miao's body had almost completely turned black, and his skin was constantly bulging and concave, as if something was burrowing in and out of his Flesh and Blood.
Qin Ze was at a loss. "What do we do now?"
The Fairy sighed, "It depends on his fate."
"A belief of dubious origin is Corruption his Source of God."
"If he can pull through, then everything will be fine."
"If I can't make it this far, I'll have to start a new account."
Qin Ze didn't think that Daoist Miao's fragile little body could survive.
Where did this new card come from?
What is the high priest doing?
The Mist Lord replied, "Meditation, the kind where you're oblivious to everything around you."
"If you could meditate in such an immersive way like him even once, you wouldn't be far from becoming a god."
"With you all immersed in this, that's enough." Then, Qin Ze frowned slightly. "Could it be that I guessed wrong? It has nothing to do with the High Priest?"
Thousand Faces, having witnessed the situation from Qin Ze's perspective, said, "If Daoist Miao doesn't survive, the Source of God will very likely become Relic."
"The Corruption Source of God is no longer the complete Source of God of War."
Upon hearing this, a flash of lightning suddenly struck Qin Ze's mind.
"Depend on!"
"I know what happened."
The two women turned to look at him at the same time, completely baffled as to what was wrong with him.
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "How did you get in?"
"Us..."
Before the Fairy could speak, Ma Yan interrupted her.
"Is this something that can be discussed?"
Unaware of Qin Ze's background, Ma Yan remained somewhat wary.
The Fairy rolled her eyes. "What's wrong with saying this?"
She waved her cane. "I recently changed jobs, and feeling the faith here, I brought her here to search for treasure."
"When we arrived, this world had only opened a small crack; we were the first to visit."
"Afterwards, we made our way to the altar and encountered a muscular burly man hiding nearby."
"Without saying a word, that bastard launched a sneak attack."
"After forcing us onto the altar, they suddenly opened the entrance, and we're trapped here."
Qin Ze finally found out who the anonymous poster was.
"The posts you made?"
The Fairy nodded. "Asking for help isn't shameful."
Qin Ze smirked. "You know how to ask for help."
As expected, the high priest had been lying from the very beginning.
Besides Daoist Miao, he can also open the entrance to the Land of Inheritance.
It's likely that the high priest had already been there, and the switched faith was his doing.
With the Source of God of War Corruption and Daoist Miao dying, the Source of God became Relic, which gave him an opportunity.
The Fairy asked Ma Yan, who was standing to the side, "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Ma Yan's face remained impassive. "What else should I add? You're practically asking what color your underwear is."
The Fairy nodded, then said to Qin Ze, "She's wearing black today."
Ma Yan really wanted to strangle the guy next to her.
She couldn't understand how Qin Ze, with such an ordinary-looking face, could have captivated the Fairy so completely.
Qin Ze steered the conversation back on track. "It's the High Priest."
"He opened the Land of Faith ahead of schedule, which was supposed to open when Daoist Miao reached Level Nine."
"He manipulated his faith."
"He was afraid you'd disrupt his plans, so he trapped you here."
Time flows differently in the Land of Faith compared to the outside world.
What may have been several days of Abyss outside is but a few hours to the Land of Faith.
The magical creatures at the entrance to the wall serve as both guards and selectors.
Even without Miss Sword Case, as long as Daoist Miao shows his face, the magical creatures will let him in.
The Fairy shook her head. "Impossible."
"He is the high priest of the God of War, and has unwavering faith in God of War."
He will not betray any believer, no matter who betrays him.
Qin Ze was more convinced that the evidence was irrefutable.
"It was the God of War who betrayed us first."
The high priest suddenly appeared at the entrance, looking at everyone present with a cold expression.
Qin Ze was taken aback. "What's your opinion of him?"
The Mist Lord looked at the High Priest, who was still meditating. "He's still here."
After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously approached, only to find that it was just a projection.
The high priest is certainly cautious.
Without knowing the existence of the Mist Lord and others, they fabricated their own testimony of presence.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.
The Fairy swung her staff and unleashed an energy blast, but the high priest easily blocked it.
"You really do have thick eyebrows and big eyes."
" The God of War was truly blind to have chosen you as his high priest."
The high priest disagreed. Looking at the Daoist Miao, who was nearly unconscious, he said softly, "We never betrayed you; it was the gods who abandoned us first."
"According to outside time, this place will be sealed off for ten thousand years, or even several thousand years in world time."
"The God of God of War's divine power sealed off this world, and it will only open automatically after a set time."
The high priest's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression. "But why must we be locked in this cage until we die?"
"He asks us to offer faith every moment, yet never answers our prayers. Does He truly consider us His people?"
Miss Sword Case said in a voice only Qin Ze could hear, "Is it possible that the God of War is already dead, unable to respond even if he wanted to?"
The high priest looked up, tears streaming down his face. "I have diligently guarded this place for ten thousand years, only to end up with nothing."
"I gave my life, my freedom, and everything for the God of War!"
"But He abandoned us, treating us like worthless weeds."
The high priest spread his arms and rose into the air. "Taking advantage of the approaching opening time and the weakening of divine power, I risked half my life to forcibly open the world."
"I have never betrayed God."
"Today, I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine!"
The same black energy surged from the High Priest's body, interacting wildly with Daoist Miao.
Seeing this, the Fairy said, "It's his faith."
Qin Ze was stunned. "Can someone who isn't a god have the Power of Faith?"
boom--
A powerful pressure surged into the sky.
Intense flames, accompanied by black mist, overturned the altar and soared into the sky.
The blonde woman and the Holy Temple Army, who had reached the city center, stopped in their tracks.
The blonde woman's expression darkened as she looked at the "pillar supporting the sky" that was a mixture of two different powers.
" Yan Miao is here."
