Episode 12 – The Descent of the Gods Chapter 17 – The Mysterious Religion

Looking at the three people in front of him, Walton, Gates and Sessler, Linley’s heart was actually a little worried.

After all, he had said before his closed-door cultivation that this closed-door cultivation was very important, so don’t bother yourself until it’s too important. But even so, Walden and the others still came to invite themselves, clearly the situation was very dire.

“Could it be that the crisis lurking in this continental war has manifested itself?”

Linley was apprehensive, but he remembered Lord Beirut’s warning.

Walden, Gates, and Sessler looked at each other, slightly silent for a moment, Sessler looked at Linley and spoke, “Lord Linley, you’ve been in seclusion for more than five years now, in these five years, with the start of the war, a lot of things have happened on the Yulan continent, it’s impossible to say in a single moment, it would be better for us to go out first, however, and then slowly talk about it.”

Linley nodded slightly.

On the way back to the surface from the ground, Walden quietly inquired, “Brother, have you reached the God Realm?”

The Gates and Sessler duo also immediately both looked towards Linley.

After all, Linley had initially estimated that he could become a god within ten years, and now it had been almost six years.

“Still a bit short.”

Linley shook his head with a faint smile, “If you guys hadn’t come and interrupted my cultivation, I’d probably be almost there in another half a year.”

Linley had a strong desire to become a god in his heart, and with the Speed Upanishad cultivated to this day, Linley also clearly felt that the divine realm, was that much more within reach.

It was only the last hint of a breakthrough, because the Speed Upanishad was originally a fusion of the two realms of ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ imprints, and a single ‘fast’ or ‘slow’ realm reached the greatness. Slow’ realm reached great completion, one could become a lower god. And when the Speed Upanishad was truly consummated, Linley would be a Mediate God.

Cultivating the Speed Upanishad. There would only be a bottleneck before becoming a Mediate God.

Whereas becoming a Lower God, no bottlenecks would appear.

For example, Desiree, Fahn, Rosalie, and Suddenly Lei were all stuck in the last step, probably because the arcana they comprehended were all relatively low level in the elemental laws. In the infinite universe, amongst the countless realms, most of the Saint realm powerhouses were comprehending lower level arcana.

Linley was able to comprehend the Speed Upanishad. There was also a hint of luck involved.

Although he would almost become a god in half a year, but now that Walden and the others had come to invite him, Linley would naturally come out. After all, between cultivation and loved ones, loved ones were still the most important. If his loved ones and friends had any difficulties, would Linley be able to continue his cultivation to become a god, alone and unconcerned?

In the hall of the Dragonblood Castle.

A large group of people were gathered here, and Linley sat quietly in the main seat, listening carefully to Walden’s narrative. Recounting the numerous things that had happened over the past five years or so.

“A large number of Jedi Saint realm powerhouses popped up?”

Linley couldn’t help but be puzzled in the back of his mind as he heard Walton recount some terrifying powerhouses that had sprung up during the course of the war. “Listening to Walton the way he put it, the strength of most of these powerhouses exceeds that of an Ultimate Saint realm warrior, to the point where it’s comparable to Desiree and Turquoise Thunder and the rest of them.”

Linley could completely judge.

It was important to know that, under normal circumstances, a Saint Realm Ultimate Warrior should be considered a second level powerhouse in the Saint Realm, second only to the Saint Realm Limit. It was on the same level as the dead Hastings, Useno, and the rest of them.

“Catching up to the Saint Realm Thunder Dragon in speed, and also defeating the Saint Realm Thunder Dragon in one move.”

Linley was also astonished by the strength of the two major Saint Realm powerhouses of the Luo Luo Empire today.

“A large number of powerhouses comparable to Desiree and Rutherford have sprung up. This ……”

Linley was somewhat puzzled.

The group of mysterious Saint realm powerhouses that had sprung up in these five years of seizure were all very strong.

It seemed that every single one of them possessed the strength of the Saint realm limit.

“Not right.”

Linley frowned, “These powerhouses definitely didn’t exist in the past, and if they did, they definitely couldn’t escape the attention of the Martial God and his people.”

Linley was very sure of this, but since they didn’t exist in the past, it was clear that these powerhouses should have been here for more than five years. They had come to the Yulan continent realm.

“Otherdimensional powerhouses?”

Linley was shocked by his own deduction.

“Neither should they.”

Linley instantly vetoed it again, “So what if it’s an otherworldly plane? It’s hard to believe that the strong people of the otherworldly plane. Must every single one of them have reached the Saint realm limit?”

The Yulan continent realm. To other realms, it was also an ectoplasm.

This otherworldly realm’s strong people. It was only right that they were strong, but they shouldn’t all be this strong!

“Brother, there’s also, over this period of time, a mysterious religion has appeared in our Baruch Empire, believing in a deity called ‘Muba’.”

Walton frowned and said, “Brother, you said earlier that no other religions are allowed to exist within our empire, and we have tried to suppress and exterminate this religion. But it doesn’t work.”

Walden shook his head.

Linley couldn’t help but blush when he heard this.

A mysterious religion?

Who needed the power of faith? The answer was without a doubt – God!

“Go on.”

Linley immediately looked at Walden, “How is it that the religion can’t be destroyed?”

Walden nodded his head and continued, “Firstly, there are hidden powerhouses in this mysterious religion, and secondly, this religion is indeed somewhat capable of producing divine miracles! Because of the miracles appearing, this has caused quite a few people within our empire to truly believe and trust in this deity ‘Muba’.”

“Miracles?”

Linley’s face brushed white.

“What’s wrong, brother?”

Walden, Gates, Anke, and a large group of others all looked at Linley in confusion.

Linley had also talked carefully with Desiree and the others about many things about gods because he was going to cultivate into a god. He clearly knew …… that the power of faith was very beneficial to a god. So, for example, the Martial God, within the O’Brien Empire, only the subjects were allowed to believe in the Martial God.

Other religions, all of them, were not allowed to exist.

And many of the miracles could only be performed by gods utilizing the Law Arcana.

“An unknown religion can have miracles born, then ……”

Linley’s heart trembled, “This religion within our Baruch Empire has a god-level powerhouse behind it!”

“Walden, Sydney.”

Linley immediately ordered, “All of you listen to me, it’s fine to suppress this religion to continue practicing it, but remember, don’t increase the intensity of the suppression. Never force this religion to fight with our empire, at least …… not now.”

The entire group of people in the hall were somewhat perplexed.

After all, aside from Linley, how long had it been since Walden, Gates, and the others had reached the Holy Realm? It was Sessler. Although he had some experience, it was only experience in the mundane world, with some understanding of necromancy, his knowledge of the divine realm was still far inferior to Linley’s.

“One by one, remember them all!”

Linley said solemnly.

“Aye. Walden, Sydney, and the others still answered affirmatively. To Linley’s orders, they would not disobey.

Only then did Linley let out a sigh of relief in his heart, there was no doubt that the other party was a God-level powerhouse!

After all, this power of faith was useless until it was at the God level.

Since it was a God-level powerhouse, Linley was naturally unwilling to offend.

Even if Linley himself reached the God level, Linley didn’t want to easily antagonize the other party, after all, he had first entered the lower gods, and how long it had been since someone else had reached the God level was not something Linley could imagine.

“Brother. Recently, there was also an appalling matter that occurred within our Baruch Empire that took place in the Blue Lion City ……”

Walden began to recount the ‘Dead City’ incident in detail, also recounting the deaths of the city’s inhabitants as well as some of the suspicious points.

Linley was puzzled even as he listened, and at the same time, his heart also paid attention.

The residents of a city land had almost all died in one night.

This was something that could be even more creepy than the slaughter of a city during a war. After all, it was a bit too weird.

Throughout the hall, everyone else was clueless. After all, there were no clues at all. And now that there were a little too many mysterious and powerful people in the Yulan Continent, they were clueless, and at the moment, Earth Linley was similarly confused, not knowing how to investigate the murderer.

“You just said that this sort of thing had also happened within the O’Brien Empire?”

Linley suddenly inquired.

“Yes, just over a month ago.”

Walden replied.

Linley nodded slightly, “In that case, you guys stay in the castle. I’ll make a trip to the O’Brien Empire’s Martial God Mountain.”

After all, this Dead City incident. It had just occurred within one’s own empire, while the O’Brien Empire had had it for over a month.

Moreover, in terms of Saint Domain experts, it was also the Martial God Sect that was stronger. The Martial God Sect was also stronger.

More than a month had passed. The Martial God Sect might have some clues.

“Brother, aren’t you going to eat with us?”

Walden and the others were surprised. Linley had only just gotten out of customs, and without even having dinner with everyone, he was going to go to the Martial God Mountain, which was a bit too hectic.

“No.”

Linley had long since made up his mind in his heart.

Once this matter was resolved, he himself would continue to go into seclusion to cultivate, after all, Linley was only that much further away from the Divine Realm True Land.

At this moment, as the sky darkened, a vague and indistinct phantom instantly pierced out of the Dragonblood Castle and flew into the sky, disappearing at the end of the western sky.

“That Lord Beirut’s words really weren’t false, there is indeed a crisis lurking in this Yulan Continent.”

Linley also felt a hint of heartburn, that mysterious religion represented a god-level powerhouse, how could Linley not be afraid of a god-level powerhouse suddenly appearing in a realm?

This represented that the protagonist of this crisis was, I’m afraid, a god-level powerhouse.

Without reaching the divine realm, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t even have the ability to get involved and resist.

“This time, when the matter is resolved, we must immediately seize the time to cultivate and reach the divine realm as soon as possible.”

Linley’s heart was even more worried when he thought of the Dead City incident, he had a feeling that this bizarre Dead City incident should contain some terrifying secrets behind it.

Facing the strong wind, Linley flew at breakneck speed.

“It seems that this Yulan Continent is about to usher in an unprecedented storm.”

Linley whirled his body like a stream of light across the long sky.

Martial God Mountain.

Linley’s arrival was naturally received personally by the temporary leader of the current Martial God Mountain, ‘Fahn’, and the two of them began to talk directly in one of the living rooms of the Martial God Mountain, where Fahn had been practicing hard for more than five years and just hadn’t broken through to the Divine Realm.

“Linley, you’ve come this time, for the Dead City incident?”

Fahn spoke first instead.

“Yes, Farn, do you have any clues?”

Linley immediately pursued.

Fahn couldn’t help but have a bitter smile on his face, the dead city incident that had occurred within the O’Brien Empire over the past month or so had naturally annoyed him enough, and when the same thing happened in the Baruch Empire, it was only natural that he, who paid attention to such things, would quickly learn about it.

“The clues are a little bit.”

Faun said helplessly, “It was the mysterious expert who killed almost everyone in the city with speed one by one, in one night.”

“Oh?”

Linley was startled in his heart, “Killing one by one?”

To kill 100,000 people was indeed fast for a Saint realm powerhouse. If the speed soared to its limit, I’m afraid that if the body passed by, the people in that area would die. Hundreds of meters of distance in a second, killing dozens of people this was not difficult for Saint Domain powerhouses.

Killing a hundred thousand people was just a matter of an hour or two.

If it was an earthly powerhouse like Linley, I’m afraid the speed would be much faster.

“What’s he doing that for?”

Linley was puzzled.

Saint realm experts had such strength, but to a Saint realm expert, what benefit was there to killing ordinary people? Not only was there no benefit, but once discovered it would definitely cause other Saint realm powerhouses to resent and be hostile, even to the point of making a move against him!

“I’m not sure.”

Fahn shook his head and said, “Actually, the reason why I discovered this clue was also a bit of luck. It was when my Eighth Senior Brother was flying outside, he stumbled upon a mysterious silver-robed powerhouse who was actually killing people within a small city. He immediately shot out in anger …… Only unfortunately, that silver robed strong man unexpectedly did not take the battle and directly fled. That silver robed strong man is very fast, my eighth senior brother is also not as good as. But that silver-robed person, at that time, had already killed thousands of people, and those thousands of deaths looked exactly like the people who died in the Dead City incident.”

Linley nodded slightly.

Eighth Senior Brother, ranked so high, was obviously also a strong person who had cultivated for thousands of years in the Martial God Sect.

“En?”

Linley and Fahn looked towards the northeast at almost the same time, a terrifying energy fluctuation was coming from the northeast, although that intense energy fluctuation had faded to almost imperceptible after tens of thousands of miles. But how strong were Linley and Fahn?

They could detect a Saint realm expert battling within thousands of miles.

Now this, terrifyingly extreme energy fluctuation, how could they not notice it, to them, that terrifyingly extreme energy fluctuation was like the sun in the night.

“What happened?”

Faun said in surprise.

But just as he opened his mouth, his and Linley’s expressions froze.

“Any Saint realm powerhouse or God realm powerhouse who goes on a killing spree in the eighteen principalities of the Northern Domain or disrupts the peace of the Forest of Darkness will be killed without pardon!”

A hoarse voice resounded in the minds of all Saint realm powerhouses and God realm powerhouses in the Yulan Continent almost in an instant.

All the powerhouses were dumbfounded and shocked in an instant.
