Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2769  Authority

Forget it.

The primary goal of this journey was still to find the protective net of the death realm orb.

Besides, the Holy Realm wasnʼt just home to the Mist Temple as a Demon Suppressing Temple.

There were other Demon Suppressing Temples to farm later.

With this thought in mind, Fang Heng stopped delaying, returned to the first floor of the Demon Suppressing Temple, and reversed summoned the sacred tree, Abe Akaya. He erased the traces of Abe Akayaʼs magic array.

After finishing all of this, Fang Heng walked to the entrance of the temple and pushed open the grand door.

Hmm?

What was going on?

Seeing the scene in the square outside the Demon Suppressing Temple, Fang Heng stood there for a moment, stunned and confused.

The entire area outside the Demon Suppressing Temple had now gathered with Holy Realm guards and priests.

What did this mean?

Had his identity been discovered?

Fang Heng scanned the crowd, wondering if he should just break through and escape.

At this moment, all the gazes in the square were fixed on Fang Heng, their eyes filled with both respect and fear.

They had all personally witnessed how Fang Heng sealed the monsters from the seventh floor of the Demon Suppressing Temple one by one.

By now, seeing the Great Sage Godʼs Punishment imprint on Fang Hengʼs forehead, everyone no longer had any doubts about his identity.

The Holy Realm paladins and priests bowed to Fang Heng, while the Holy Realm believers in the back directly knelt.

”Greetings, Great Sage! We welcome you, Great Sage!”

Huh?

Fang Heng had just been thinking about how to break through and join Bai Mu and the demonic seed group when he saw the believers kneeling in the back of the square and heard the Holy Realm guards speaking. Only then did he realize.

Right!

The Great Sage.

This group of people, unable to see through the holy weaponʼs effects, mistakenly believed his identity had advanced to the Great Sage after his successful progression.

The commander of the Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion stepped forward, taking one knee in front of everyone, and publicly addressed Fang Heng, reporting, ”Great Sage, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I lead the 156 members of the Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion, and we are here to follow your command.”

A game prompt appeared in Fang Hengʼs retina.

[Hint: The player has successfully advanced to Great Sage (Godʼs Punishment). The player has gained the loyalty of the Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion.]

”This...”

Fang Heng was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Hain, thinking to himself, Is this for real?

But...

Would Hain follow him back to the Zombie Apocalypse once he returned?

Doesnʼt matter, one step at a time.

Fang Heng was no stranger to handling such situations. While pondering internally, he remained calm on the surface, raising his hand and saying, ”Rise.”

”Thank you, Great Sage.”

Hain stood up, glanced at Archbishop Tami, and led the Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion members to stand behind Fang Heng.

Hain had a clear mind.

The Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion was founded by the previous Great Sage who held dominion over Godʼs Punishment.

Since the establishment of the Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion, the entire legion had always followed the orders of the Great Sage.

They didnʼt care about others; as soon as a new Great Sage appeared, Hain immediately expressed his loyalty.

Everything was now centered on the new Great Sage!

Moreover, Hain had great confidence in Fang Baiʼs strength.

After all, he was the kind of person who could single-handedly clear the seventh floor of the Demon Suppressing Temple!

Fang Bai would definitely lead the Godʼs Punishment Knight Legion back to its former peak.

No! He might even surpass that peak.

Seeing that Archbishop Tami didnʼt react, Hain spoke up, ”Archbishop Tami, do you have anything to say?”

Archbishop Tami felt a little awkward.

Things were happening too quickly, and he hadnʼt figured out what to do yet.

In theory, he was the acting head of the Sub-God Pillar now.

And Fang Heng was a more legitimate Great Sage than he was.

There was no need to think about taking the position; he was just an acting head. The real head of the Sub-God Pillar would never fall to him.

But the bishop faction and the Holy Paladin faction were different.

He was just a temporary leader. What would happen if the real Archbishop came back and found out that he had lost control of the God Pillar position?

It wouldnʼt be easy to explain...

”Great Sage, I am the acting head of the Sub-God Pillar—Tami. Iʼve already reported your arrival to the Great Sages of the God Pillar. The situation is urgent, and you may not be familiar with the situation here. I suggest I assist you in handling the matters of the God Pillar. Do you think this is feasible?”

Fang Heng looked at Tami, even more confused.

What was the meaning of this?

Assist him?

Oh right.

Fang Heng suddenly realized that the Twelve Sub-God Pillars of the Holy Realm were managed by the Twelve Sages.

Now that he had advanced to the Great Sage, it meant he was the true master of the Mist Temple Sub-God Pillar.

However, although the rule was clear, after so many years, it was still uncertain whether he, the newly advanced Great Sage, would be able to gain real authority.

It was clear that Archbishop Tami didnʼt want to relinquish power so quickly, so he used the idea of ”assistance” as an excuse.

Fang Heng quickly understood.

It would likely take some effort to wrest control from Archbishop Tami.

Forget it.

The time to meet with Bai Mu and the others was fast approaching, so he needed to hurry and go join them.

”Alright, then Iʼll leave it to you, Archbishop Tami.”

”Itʼs my duty, my duty.”

Archbishop Tami breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At least for now, he had managed to stabilize Fang Heng.

”Great Sage, the crowd here is too gathered. We should go to the God Pillar Temple. There are many matters I need to report to you.”

”No, weʼre going to the Teleportation Temple. I have some important matters to handle.”

Although Archbishop Tami was a little confused, as long as Fang Heng didnʼt ask for anything excessive, he agreed without hesitation, ”Of course, please follow me.”

The Holy Realm crowd gathered outside the Demon Suppressing Temple cleared a passage and watched as Fang Heng and his group departed.

”Archbishop Tami, do you know anything about the situation at the Mist Temple in the lower realm?”

A thought struck Archbishop Tamiʼs mind, and he wondered if the Great Sage was starting to question things.

”Are you referring to the previous demonic seed invasion?” Archbishop Tami responded with a serious expression, his tone alert. ”Weʼve already made adequate preparations. As for the news from the Mist Temple about a demonic invasion, weʼve already dispatched a team to investigate.”

Originally, Archbishop Tami had planned to send more people to investigate thoroughly.

However, when he encountered this matter with Fang Heng, he couldnʼt let it go, so he hastily came to investigate. As a result, the issues at the Mist Temple were temporarily put aside.

”From the initial reports, it seems the lower realm might indeed be facing significant trouble.”

Archbishop Tami paused, then explained, ”An hour ago, we began preparing a Holy Realm knight to lead a team to the lower realm for investigation. They are about to depart.”

”Alright, Iʼll lead the team to the lower realm myself.”

”Ah, you... personally going?”

Archbishop Tami was taken aback. He wasnʼt sure of Fang Hengʼs intentions and hesitated, not daring to agree right away.

Hainʼs expression darkened as he asked, ”Archbishop Tami, do you have any concerns?”

”No, no concerns.” Archbishop Tami quickly shook his head. ”Alright, Iʼll arrange for it right away.”
