The secrets hidden beneath the altar should have been known only to the elder priest.
The high priest, however, somehow learned of this.
With God no longer responding, everyone except the most steadfast among them began to harbor other thoughts.
People like the high priest who covet the inheritance, those who want to leave the world to fight for survival, and many others who simply follow the crowd.
With their encouragement, the Land of Faith underwent a complete transformation in less than a thousand years.
The high priest ultimately failed to inherit the God of War's legacy, after all, he was not the chosen child.
His survival to this day is largely due to the faith that led to the sacrifices made for him.
The Fairy standing nearby explained, "Faith is not the exclusive privilege of gods."
"Ordinary people, or even cats, dogs, grass, and trees, can all be provided with the Power of Faith as long as they are genuinely believed in and worshipped."
"It's just that God's divine power is all-powerful, and with more believers, he can gather even more faith."
"In that situation, the God of War of God of War had fallen, his followers were all suppressed, and the world was locked down."
"The high priest stepped forward at that time and made various promises to them."
"In other words, the high priest was the hope they had no choice but to believe in."
Lord Mist shrugged his shoulders. "In the end, he was treated like a leek, and not even the roots were left."
The spirits clung tightly to the wall; due to their large numbers and limited space, they were squeezed and deformed, which actually made them look somewhat cute.
"Won't the Preacher turn us all into fanatics?"
"I've already told them what happened, they shouldn't be like that."
"Tch~ When have heretics ever kept their word?"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
"..."
The noise from the spirits was giving the Fairy a headache.
"Shut up!"
The space Soundlessness instantly.
The Fairy looked around at the assembled spirits. "Let one of you come forward to lead."
The old man floated out. "What year and month is it outside now?"
The Fairy spoke, " The Land of Faith has opened, and the legacy has been inherited by the one chosen by the God of War."
Upon hearing this, all the spirits were overjoyed.
The old man trembled all over. " Good Good Good! We haven't let God down after all!"
The Mist Lord poured cold water on their hopes. "But he's about to die, and his legacy is about to be taken by a traitor."
The spirits panicked. "What's going on?"
The Fairy succinctly and quickly explained the situation outside.
"So now we need a way out."
The former high priest sighed, "He has Fusion with the world; only by killing him can we find a way out."
"To truly kill him, we must employ a two-pronged approach, simultaneously destroying both his spirit and his world."
"But both of these are very difficult to achieve."
The Fairy frowned. "Just tell me how to do it. We have experts here too."
The former high priest said in a deep voice, "Find the World Stone, destroy the World Stone, and the world will be torn apart by the power of the Abyss."
The Fairy looked at the Mist Lord.
The Mist Lord nodded. "No problem, the brothers outside are already in action."
The former high priest continued, "This place was originally Land of Faith for the Sun God, and even now we are still protected by divine power. Otherwise, we would have long since vanished into nothingness, instead of our spirits being suppressed here."
"If you can release us, we will deal with his spirit."
"At that time, we will unleash the divine power that protects us and drag him down to hell with us."
At this point, a worried look appeared on his face as he gazed at the stone tablet and said, " The Spirit-Suppressing Stele is immune to all forces other than those of the physical body."
"We can only leave by destroying the Spirit-Suppressing Stele, but only Level Nine Martial Artist can do that."
None of the three people present met this requirement.
The Mist Lord Level Seven, while the Fairy and Ma Yan Level Eight.
The old man sighed, "Everything is predestined."
" Level Nine physical strength..." The Mist Lord smiled slightly, "Easy!"
With a snap, the Mist Lord pointed his fingers. "Next, please welcome the Circus's First Shield to the stage!"
Rumble--
The ground trembled slightly, accompanied by a muffled rumble of thunder.
All the spirits turned to look at the entrance, where a Strange Beast with seven or eight limbs charged in, braving the raging flames outside.
Bang--
Brother Devour turned sideways and slammed his Iron Mountain Lean the Spirit-Suppressing Stele, instantly creating a crack on its surface.
The old man's eyes widened.
What kind of world is it like outside right now?
The Strange Beast and the warrior were actually cooperating.
Just as Brother Devour was about to ram the dome a second time, the black flames outside surged, relentlessly licking at the dome-shaped space.
The Mist Lord's expression changed. "We've been discovered."
The old man scoffed, "Keep going, that fire can't harm us."
"Find the World Stone quickly; we must act simultaneously."
Bang bang bang--
The Brother Devour relentlessly charged, causing more and more cracks to appear on the stone tablet.
The high priest on the mountain of corpses was clearly panicked. He steered the mountain toward the place where the spirit was suppressed, trying to stop it.
However, Qin Ze would never give him a chance to go there.
As the Sword Case whistled, the mountain of corpses beneath the high priest's feet was continuously dismantled, forcing him to distance himself from Qin Ze.
After several rounds of combat, he also discovered that Qin Ze was a close-combat monster.
After creating some distance, several chains made of Wandering Corpse locked onto Qin Ze from all directions.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Is it possible that I'm actually a ranged mage?"
The dragon and phoenix sang in harmony, dozens of golden lightning bolts struck down, and surging blue flames spread out from beneath his feet, stirring up a monstrous wave.
Qin Ze asked on the Local Area Network, "Have you found the World Stone yet?"
The Dharma King rampaged through the sea of Wandering Corpse, shouting, "We're looking! What's the rush?!"
The earth has been divided into countless small pieces.
However, the World Stone has no legs and cannot move; it remains in its original position.
The Dharma King charged forward in the direction he remembered, but the number of Wandering Corpse was too great; even a whirlpool of Tide was no match for them.
The high priest, fully aware of the importance of the World Stone, laid a trap around it.
The Dharma King gazed at the endless black ocean ahead and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Give me acceleration!"
Having said that, he wrapped himself up in layers of lightning, turning himself into a dumpling.
The Giant Overlord behind immediately understood the Dharma King's meaning, and he swung his bone club and struck the Dharma King heavily.
Bang--
The Dharma King's multiple layers of lightning shield shattered, transforming into a shooting star that plunged headlong into the endless ocean.
"Depend on!"
"Next time, we'll have to let Brother Devour do this job again!"
Even with prior preparation, his small frame was nearly shattered by the Giant Overlord's blow.
Sizzle--
During the journey, the Dharma King restarted the engine, increasing the speed once again.
He carved a straight path through the horde of corpses, and the World Stone finally appeared below.
The Dharma King's entire body Electric Energy Surge, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, descending from the sky.
"Shatter the darkness with thunder!"
The Wandering Corpse along the way were all electrocuted, the lightning flashing wildly, clearly visible even from the city walls.
Boom--
The Dharma King's full-force attack slammed into the top of the World Stone.
However, the imagined scene of the World Stone shattering into pieces did not occur.
Just then, the World Stone, which had only been asleep for a short while, let out a sharp, explosive cry, "Are you trying to kill me?! Can't a stone even sleep?!"
