Chapter 397
Half a month quickly passed. The churches of the seven Gods were currently heading towards the Unrepenting Abyss.
The non-believers of this world, after they died, their remnant souls would be drawn by the Unrepenting Abyss to the final destination of the non-believers. Then, in endless remorse and pain, they would forever sink into oblivion and become lost souls.
Negri had already done some research on the Unrepenting Abyss, using the bones of the non-believers and the elven remains to summon the elven warrior Lorl and a large number of dead souls from the Unrepenting Abyss.
And now, these dead souls had become Negri's Night Attendants.
The elven Lorl had always existed within the Unrepenting Abyss, Negri had borrowed her hand to head towards the Unrepenting Abyss, where he discovered the truth of the Unrepenting Abyss.
The so-called 'final destination of the non-believers' was actually the final destination of everyone in this world. The remnant souls that had been sent to the Divine Kingdom would all be collected and used for this God's Offering Day to make the fruit even more delicious.
Even if the majority of the people living here were the descendants of the warriors who had fought for the seven Gods, the seven Gods didn't feel any discomfort when they used the souls of their descendants to feed the fruit.
Believers gave everything they had to the Gods, and this everything naturally included their descendants, didn't it?
Not to mention, for long-lived beings like the seven Gods, they didn't care about their so-called descendants at all. The only reason they cared about and protected their descendants was because their descendants were the continuation of themselves. As long as their Paths weren't destroyed, the seven Gods would be able to survive until the end of the universe.
Their descendants were nothing but creatures that carried their own information, chess pieces and bargaining chips, products of research, bodies that they could descend upon, nothing more.
Unless their Paths were involved, Path level Combatants would always be extremely selfish, because they were fully focused on implementing their own Paths.
Within the Unrepenting Abyss, all the Origin Energy that the Moon Tree world absorbed from the void of space was stored here. To ensure the production of Origin Energy and allow the fruit to quickly ripen, the seven Gods had cursed the elven Heroic Spirit Burial Ground, transforming it into the Unrepenting Abyss, using the resentment and madness of living beings to seal this place off.
The curse of the seven gods had jointly created the Unrepenting Abyss, so the God Offering Day required the seven gods to activate it together in order to retrieve the Source Fruit. This was the balance and restraint between the seven gods, but now, this balance had been broken.
Red Tears and Eulogy of the Depths had fallen into Life Bearer's trap and fell into a deep slumber, at least for now. This meant that one of the Seven Gods had found a way to break the balance of the Seven Gods' curse.
And this solution was provided by Negri.
Before Negri had even become a world virus, Eternal Heat had already arrived in front of him. The reason why Negri was able to cooperate with Eternal Heat was because Negri had used this as a bargaining chip to reach an agreement. Under Eternal Heat's protection, Negri had successfully transformed into a world virus.
The Sun Shadow church's procession was moving through the desolate night. Amidst the long procession, Green Negri was hiding in the shadows, observing the procession. During this God Offering Ceremony, the reformed Night Watchers had become the covert protectors of the procession.
Green, who had been promoted and made a fortune in Lohr, had become the person in charge of security for this ceremony. Speaking of this lord Green, there was quite a story behind him. He had been kicked out of the church's knight training camp, then stayed at home, until his older brother Reid, who was a Red Sun Knight, died. To avenge his brother, he joined the Night Watchers.
Although the sinner Snake Demon Isrig had yet to be apprehended, as a Night Watcher, Lord Green had purged the previously chaotic and disorderly Night Watchers organization, further proving the necessity and correctness of the church's reformation.
This was the church's official statement regarding Green.
In truth, not too long ago, Green Negri had met with the so-called sinner who killed his brother Isrig and instructed him on the next step of development. As a smurf, Green felt that he was quite successful and managed to become one of the top brass of the organization. Although due to his faith, he couldn't become the true leader of the Sun Shadow church, he still managed to grasp a small portion of the church's power.
On the other side was a Perfect Knight of the church, Counier, who had become a Divine Knight. On the other side was Chromie, who had just returned. After successfully completing his mission, he had become the director of the Saint Hunters. The three outstanding youths of Lohr had now become the upper brass of the Sun Shadow church.
However, this upper brass was a bit pitiful. Green was a smurf created by Negri, while Chromie had turned into a half-elf and became a traitor. Although the church's development was quite successful, with the number of believers and influence of the church greatly increasing compared to before the reformation, there were quite a few traitors who had infiltrated the upper brass, so it was unclear whether this reformation was a success or a failure.
After a while of contemplation, Green retracted his thoughts. What was the point of a traitor like him thinking about such things? It would be better to develop a few more spies within the church and poach them to increase the Hermit Order's strength.
The scenery around them was becoming more and more desolate. The closer they got to the Unrepenting Abyss, the worse the environment became. Ordinary people couldn't even get close to the outer perimeter of the Unrepenting Abyss.
The Unrepenting Abyss could only seal off the majority of the world's Source Energy, occasionally allowing a bit of Source Energy to leak out. This Source Energy had created quite a few Wicked Soul Awakened, who were wanted by every church and listed as absolute sinners. Because they had stolen the wealth of God, once they were killed by the church, they would be sacrificed to God. The Source Energy that had released their [Origin] needed to be extracted once again.
Meanwhile, a small portion of the Wicked Soul Awakened who hadn't been captured had been hiding in the Academic City, but there was no place for them to hide anymore, while the rest were hiding outside the outer perimeter of the Unrepenting Abyss.
Perhaps it was due to the aggregation of Source Energy that these people who had released their [Origin] through Source Energy wanted to obtain even more Source Energy from the Unrepenting Abyss.
And now, as the Sun Shadow church's troops moved forward, Green could sense that someone was keeping an eye on them. An undisguised malice was constantly following them, as if to purposely create some sort of pressure.
"Are they all working together against the Sun Shadow church?" Green scowled. He was only a high-ranking attendant that Negri had created based on Green's information and carried some of Negri's characteristics, not a clone, so although he was decent, he was only decent.
Because of this, the Wicked Soul Awakened in the Unrepenting Abyss were nothing more than a bunch of stray dogs. In the past, even when they came for revenge, they had to be extremely cautious, not daring to openly display their malice like this.
Only with the secret support of other churches would they dare to do so.
