After killing Platini, Sun Fei did not appear on the mainland, nor even in the Iduna City. This was to create the illusion that he was still entangled with Platini and had no time to spare, thus keeping the Church in a state of complacency. Only in this way could he achieve his goal of taking Allianz City in one fell swoop.
Sun Fei's previous act of rescuing Adam Johnson and others was a strategic move.
This hidden move ultimately proved extremely effective. Johnson and several other Extreme Dao experts from the Eastern Region Continent, along with their armies, remained hidden in the forests of the Ruhr Mountains. Furthermore, Sun Fei used his divine power to bewilder the Earth Spirit army, so the Earth Spirits did not convey the news that these people were still alive to Platini's direct descendants.
When the expeditionary armies of the Everton Empire and Sunderland Empire from the Eastern Region Continent arrived at the Naples front, Johnson, Fellaini, and others secretly infiltrated the Barracks, explained the details to their respective troops, and easily orchestrated the defection of these armies.
With the support of the Eastern Region Empire's army and the meticulous planning of strategist Old Arjen, the Northern Region Empire achieved a resounding victory, completely thwarting the Holy Church's offensive along the Bay of Naples and even taking the opportunity to launch a counterattack into the Central Region Continent.
In two consecutive military-level battles, the Northern Region Empire emerged victorious and triumphant.
At this time, many people were still looking forward to the outcome of the so-called 'Battle between the Human Emperor of the Northern Region and Platini,' unaware that this legendary acting pope had already passed away a month or two ago.
For the past month or two, Sun Fei has been hiding in the God King Hall [ Sky City ], trying to digest the results of that battle.
The greatest gain was naturally the refinement of the pure Holy Power of the acting Pope Platini, which was nearly at the peak of the God King Eighth Heaven. In terms of both purity and realm, this power was the most fruitful one that Sun Fei had obtained since he mastered the Divine Domain Great World and the [ Scepter of Creation ].
With the Divine Domain Great World and the [ Scepter of Creation ], Sun Fei felt as if he had cultivated the [ Star-Absorbing Great Method ] from a martial arts novel in his previous life. As long as he refined his opponents, he could gain power inexhaustibly, which was simply taking a shortcut.
It took Sun Fei a full month to completely refine the power from Platini and integrate it into his Divine Domain Great World.
At this time, Sun Fei's integration with the Divine Domain Great World had exceeded fifty percent. In terms of personal combat strength, he had already surpassed the God King Ninth Heaven and was approaching the middle to upper level of the God King Tenth Heaven realm.
This is an incredible leap.
More importantly, for Sun Fei, this is not the end.
Besides killing Platini, Sun Fei also killed at least twenty Earth God King during his trip to the Goblin Realm. He refined their original power and absorbed it into the Divine Domain Great World Divine Domain Great World, where they floated in the sky like more than twenty dazzling Sun.
Although these primal forces are not as rich and powerful as Platini's, they are still the primal forces of God King Level being, and are extremely precious resources for Sun Fei.
It took another month for Sun Fei to completely refine the primordial power of these twenty-odd Earth God King.
His integration with the Divine Domain Great World reached 56%, approaching the God King Tenth Heaven Great Perfection. Just one more step forward would bring him to the God King Great Perfection realm, which would be equivalent to having one foot in the realm of the Main God.
Having refined these primal forces, Sun Fei was not in a hurry to leave seclusion.
He continued to absorb the immense Power of Faith coming from all directions, beginning to construct and transform it. With the Power of Faith, he strengthened the foundation of his fusion with the Divine Domain Great World, consolidated his realm, and at the same time, diligently studied the book [ The Demon King's Sharp Sword ], striving to thoroughly master the various martial arts techniques and secret manuals contained within, and to open up his own path of martial arts.
As the Northern Region Empire grew in power and influence, Sun Fei's reputation on the Azeroth Continent also rose to an incredible height.
In this era of calamities, more and more common people turned to believe in Sun Fei. In addition, the incredible Power of Faith that erupted after Pato and the other twelve [ God Warrior ] were Cleansing meant that Sun Fei was almost always enveloped by endless Power of Faith.
Fortunately, this Power of Faith is invisible and intangible, so others cannot see it; otherwise, Sun Fei would have no reason to go anywhere.
Meanwhile, after rumors of internal strife circulated at the Holy Church headquarters, the Northern Region Empire suspended its offensive against the Holy Church, a move also at Sun Fei's behest.
The prophecy about the end of the world had always weighed heavily on Sun Fei's mind.
In fact, in Sun Fei's eyes, neither the Earth God nor the Holy Church were the most terrifying enemies.
What's truly terrifying are the world-destroying demons of prophecy and legend, who treat the entire Azeroth Continent as their hunting grounds, slumbering somewhere and awakening at an unknown time. The last era of gods and demons was destroyed by these extraterrestrial demons, and this era of the Human Clan will likely suffer the same fate.
Against this backdrop, Sun Fei did not want to completely ignite a civil war among the Human Clan.
Although the Holy Church is at a disadvantage, it is still a formidable force, like a centipede that has died but not fallen, or a lean camel that is still bigger than a horse. If the Northern Region Empire wants to completely destroy this behemoth, it will likely have to pay a huge price, inevitably resulting in mutual destruction, which will weaken the Human Clan and make it even more difficult to fight against the extraterrestrial demons that lurk in the shadows.
Therefore, after news of internal strife broke from the Church, Sun Fei halted his military operations against it to avoid pushing them too hard and causing them to reunite.
The best-case scenario would be for a new power to replace the former Church faction, which might give the Northern Region Empire and the Church room for negotiation.
Sun Fei sat high in the temple, watching the development of the continent's trajectory.
Time passed uneventfully, and about half a year went by.
In the past six months, the elven race of the Southern Region Continent has finally been completely wiped out. Those elven races, driven to extinction by the enraged Human Clan army by these murderers, numbered over one hundred million and were forced into the Sea of Mist on the edge of the Southern Region, where they were reduced to dust.
The only regret is that the Human Clan army did not find the legendary Goblin Realm, so it is impossible to determine whether there were any survivors.
The Southern Region Continent has returned to the embrace of humanity.
The Northern Region Empire dominated this process. In fact, the ten Gold Saint, including Robben, Garcia, Deisler, Drogba, Pierce, Oleg, finally achieved their glory, their fame spread far and wide, and they attained the status of Demigod.
Prior to this, they had been imprisoned by Sun Fei in [ Sky City ] for a full year. With the help of the miraculous cultivation of this city of miracles and various other methods, they finally broke through one after another, their power surged, and they reached a level of strength worthy of their title as 'the strongest golden warriors under the Human Emperor of the Northern Region '.
Sun Fei's painstaking efforts were not in vain.
Apart from the elusive Spirit King Akinfeev, the twelve Gold Saint have all become unparalleled masters admired throughout the continent.
The Southern Region Continent was redefined, with spheres of influence being redefined.
The Northern Region Empire naturally benefited the most, followed by the Elf Clan, the Dwarf and Gnome Alliance, and other major empires that participated in the war against the gnomes—excluding, of course, the Church, Juventus, and the Barcelona Empire.
Everything is thriving.
Having survived a near-annihilation crisis, the Human Clan seems to have completely pulled through.
At that very moment, an extremely startling message suddenly came from the Holy Church headquarters Holy Mountain Sicily Island.
