Chapter 1277.
Within the underground temple, Wang Chen opened his eyes.
In front of him, there was a dark golden finger ring suspended!
The shape of this finger ring was extremely simple, and the whole thing was plain and unadorned, but the divine light contained a thick and heavy condensation within it, and it was not a mortal object at first glance.
Wang Chen let out a long breath.
At this moment, he had already exhausted his accumulated spiritual energy, and even the source power that had originally filled his body was gone, and even his spiritual power had been drained.
Strength had temporarily dropped by ninety-nine percent!
All of his efforts had been rewarded with this ring in front of him.
And this finger ring in front of him was the one he had just poured all his efforts into, using the Star Core Gold Pillar that carried the Source Fire to refine it successfully.
Wang Chen stretched out his hand, took off this finger ring of incalculable value, and wore it on the ring finger of his left hand.
A mysterious feeling instantly hit his heart.
Wang Chen couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
This finger ring was just like the Cang Qing Ring, not only did it contain the source power of this world and was able to become the Dao Standard of the Star Ocean Great World, but it also formed its own space that could hold everything.
Its capacity even greatly exceeded the Cang Qing Ring!
Wang Chen tried it out and easily took the Heavenly Luo Evil Punishing Net in and out again.
The consumption of himself was minimal.
He touched his second World Source Treasure and was incomparably satisfied.
Its name should be called: the Star Ocean Ring.
The harvest this time was too great, far exceeding Wang Chen’s goal of descending to this realm.
With the power of this Star Ocean Ring, Wang Chen was able to lock onto the Dao Marker of the Haotian Realm, so now, as long as he wanted to, he could immediately rejoin the Haotian Realm.
However, Wang Chen did not do so.
Since he had descended into this great world so far, he had also created quite a few karmic consequences, and returning suddenly without making proper arrangements would definitely leave traces in his dao heart, which would not be conducive to his cultivation.
Even though he had the Star Ocean Ring, he could descend again, but the Star Ocean World’s status was extremely high, far from being comparable to the Cang Qing Small World, and the cost of descending was extremely high, so naturally he couldn’t be as capricious as he wanted to be.
Suppressing a trace of impulse within his heart, Wang Chen began to search this temple.
As a result, quite a few goodies were found, including a large number of information files.
Wang Dust flipped through some of the information and gained a detailed understanding of this divine temple.
The World Source Flame he had obtained had been dug up more than fifty years ago, and the location was right here.
Due to the properties of the source fire, anyone who came close to it would be burned to ashes, and not only were there no way for all the instruments to detect it, they would be damaged within the illumination of its light.
Therefore the miners who unearthed it worshipped it as a divine fire and kept it secret.
At that time, there were fifteen miners who saw the source fire of the world, three of them died under the source fire, and the other twelve, after the illumination of the source fire, all awakened different supernatural abilities.
In order to protect this sacred fire, these twelve miners formed a secret society, forming the Sacred Fire Society.
With the help of their superpowers, these miners soon developed a certain power on Senghai Star, and continued to expand the power of the Sacred Fire Society, and even opened a mining company.
Over the past fifty years, the Sacred Fire Society had more than ten thousand members and controlled hundreds of thousands of peripheral members.
Although many of these members had long since left Mori Hai Xing and went to other life planets for development, for them, this place was the holy power of faith, and those who were in a position to do so would come on a pilgrimage once a year to accept the baptism of the holy fire.
Relying on the funds gathered by these members, the Sacred Fire Society built temples and dungeons around the source fire, guarded by the most devout believers day and night offerings.
Because the Society of the Sacred Flame itself is not allowed to see the light of day, and according to the laws and regulations of the Empire, it is undoubtedly a banned cult, so they colluded with the rebel forces to obtain all kinds of prohibited materials, and produce and manufacture all kinds of “primitive” weapons.
The Society of the Holy Fire became a force in the rebel forces of the empire!
And through long-term offerings, these believers have also mastered some of the techniques of borrowing source power, enough to deal with the invading enemy.
After all, high-tech weapons had no use here, and S-ranked battle clerics couldn’t withstand the combined spiritual attacks from the Holy Fire berserkers.
As a result, they encountered Wang Dust.
For Wang Dust, although this so-called Sacred Fire Society’s mastery and use of source power wasn’t even a furtive one, it still posed a certain threat to him.
It’s a pity that the ability of these guys still stays at the most superficial level, knowing what they know and not knowing what they don’t know, engaging in a completely primitive worship that trip, naturally can’t be defeated by Wang Chuan who has opened up.
Regarding more secret files of the Sacred Fire Society, Wang Dust didn’t have time to read them one by one.
He deposited the useful things into the Star Ocean Ring, left the temple and came outside to the dungeon, and woke up the imperial soldiers who were captured by the rebel forces – dozens of sergeants from the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet.
Then Wang Dust found another tunnel to the surface.
What happened next was simple.
When Wang Dust got in touch with Meng Liangao, he learned the news that the geomagnetism of Senghai Star had returned to normal and the special energy fluctuations had completely disappeared.
This was obviously the result of him taking away the source fire!
At Wang Dust’s suggestion, Meng Liang’ao informed the upper echelons of the empire through the space station while sending a battalion of fighters down to take control of the underground city that had originally been the lair of the rebel forces.
It took three to four days of tossing and turning until the arrival of a task force before the dust settled.
Since Wang Dust had obtained a batch of confidential information of the Holy Fire Society, a manhunt for the members of the Holy Fire Society as well as the rebel forces was launched in the empire with great vigor.
By the time Wang Chuan returned to the TK043 space fortress, the latest information passed from above showed that the number of arrests had exceeded 50,000 people, and the scope of involvement was getting bigger and bigger, vaguely forming the trend of a storm!
But these were no longer relevant to Wang Chen.
He had already completed his mission and left the circle of right and wrong that was Senghai Star according to the plan, so no matter how big the storm was in the outside world, he stayed safely in the TK043 space fortress, exploring the path above the seven rings of spiritual energy.
A month later, Wang Chen once again received a commendation from the Imperial Military Department.
He was promoted to the rank of Major in the Imperial Army and was also knighted as an Imperial Third Class Sir!
The lowest rank of an imperial noble was a baron, and if an ordinary citizen wanted to become a noble, then they had to become a serjeant first.
Sirs are clergymen, and are divided into five classes in total.
Third Class Sir belonged to the medium rank of sergeant, although there was no hereditary power, within the system of the empire, it was already more than 95% of the people who also possessed the cornerstone for promotion to the nobility.
Of course for Wang Dust, not to mention the district Sir, even if he was given a real nobleman’s identity, it wouldn’t make much sense.
But to say that there were no benefits at all would definitely be wrong.
First of all, his salary was tripled, and there was also the allowance of a third-ranked knight, and he was given a two-week vacation.
This allowed Wang Chen to have time to return to Taiwu Star and meet up with his two girlfriends.
