Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Once an object containing the Primordial Spirit Core is discovered, it will quickly be divided up and become difficult to preserve.

The combination of these two circumstances makes it easier for the Abyss Shallow Layer to retain obtainable Primordial Spirit Cores.

After hearing the intelligence from the All-Knowing Crystal, Wu Chang couldn’t help but think of his top-ranking elder brother, the Brocade Chamber of Commerce.

Their large-scale acquisition of dungeon-produced antiques seems very much like they are searching for the Primordial Spirit Core.

Why didn’t the Four Major Organizations notice anything? The reason is easily explained, the Abyss Third Layer is completely cut off from the lower realm. A group of players from the Abyss Second Layer, even if the Primordial Spirit Core was placed right in front of them, would not notice it.

But why is the Brocade Chamber of Commerce searching for the Primordial Spirit Core?

Wu Chang asked the All-Knowing Crystal: ”Do you have brothers or sisters scattered throughout the Desolate Realm, held under the control of others?”

With the buying power of the Brocade Chamber of Commerce, they must have tasted the benefits. If they had an All-Knowing Crystal in their possession, its status would definitely be better than the one in his hand.

The All-Knowing Crystal flickered a few times, as if sensing something, and after a moment, it responded:

”I cannot sense the existence of other All-Knowing Crystals.”

Wu Chang appeared thoughtful, wondering if it was unable to sense them or if there were none.

The background of the top-ranking elder brother is becoming increasingly intriguing.

However, at the moment, he still had another matter to attend to.

Part of his body began to transform into a snake, activating the Abyssal Python transformation, increasing his Energy Attribute to 240 points.

He extended his scale-covered arm, his fingers moving through the air, energy flickering at the fingertips, using the air as a canvas to draw complex runes in the air.

As soon as the runes formed, they scattered to the corners of the cave, embedding into each other, forming a cycle and composing a whole entity.

This was the Reincarnation Talent brought by the Knight of Strife, Mystical Mastery.

Relying on Mystical Mastery, Wu Chang could bypass mystical items and materials, using energy to directly construct a mystical ceremony.

Coupled with his Eye of Breaking Method, it allowed him to organize mystical ceremonies anytime and anywhere without restriction.

The ceremony he arranged at the moment was an extension of the Earthly Divine Kingdom, a small-scale Second Divine Kingdom.

As a lone wolf player, Wu Chang was always frugal, seeing no need for waste. How could he bear to waste the Power of Faith from this mountain?

Half an hour later, Wu Chang exhausted all his internal energy, even drinking a bottle of Energy Activation Potion, finally completing the layout of the mystical ceremony array within the cave.

He panted heavily, leaning against the altar at the center of the cave, looking excitedly at the runes spread throughout the interior of the cave.

The Earthly Divine Kingdom is indeed one of the pinnacles of Mysticism in the Desolate Realm, an entity whose construction by an entire organization would take years. Even a small-scale Second Divine Kingdom was not something a single person could complete in a short time.

Fortunately, the Second Divine Kingdom was originally the New Cosmos Sect’s plan, and the Zheng family had already laid the foundation before he came to complete and modify it. If he had started from scratch to build the Earthly Divine Kingdom, even four or five energy slots might not have been enough.

He slapped the last mystical rune onto the altar, and all the runes in the cave lit up simultaneously, beams of faint light shooting out between the runes, intertwining into a complex net centered around the altar.

The brightness of the light net increased, the light accumulating on the altar, transforming into a beam that shot towards the sky, piercing through the Tan Mountain’s body and into the sky.

A few breaths later, the Second Divine Kingdom within the Tan Mountain Cave was linked with the Divine Kingdom in the Terminal Sea Region of the deep sea.

The two Divine Kingdoms echoed each other, using the Power of Faith within the Tan Mountain as energy, rapidly expanding along a line between two points.

When the Power of Faith within Tan Mountain was exhausted, the entire Gao Mu Country, and even the seas around it, were enveloped by Erin’s Divine Kingdom.

Thanks to the New Cosmos Sect’s bosses for sending the Divine Kingdom, I will finish your prepared plans properly.

Wu Chang walked out of the cave, casually tossing the already-useless Sun Immortal Seal to Cui Chengze as he passed, and shouted towards the row of Starlight Gang leaders headed by the Cyan Dragon standing outside the Tan Mountain Cave:

”Call it a day!”

The subsequent developments unfolded just as Wu Chang predicted, or rather as he orchestrated.

Though the White Plain Mountain Runners stirred up quite a commotion, the starting point of their actions was absolutely just. With the official’s positioning and media and public opinion guidance, not only did the Starlight Gang not suffer any negative impact but instead seized the opportunity to greatly boost its popularity.

As for the items among the White Plain Mountain Runners, whether the damage suffered by the extremist believers was too severe doesn’t seem to concern anyone.

The extremist believers were thoroughly eradicated, and the New Cosmos Sect became a scattered force. With the joint effort of Wu Chang, Cui Chengze, and the official parties, in less than a month, over a thousand New Cosmos Sect lecture halls throughout Gao Mu Country transformed into a new religion—the Eternal Light Sect.

The God worshipped within the Church was none other than the Eternal Pure Light that protected the hero of Gao Mu Country as they returned home.

Within a month of consuming the New Cosmos Sect, Wu Chang traveled with Erin while simultaneously combating illegal religions, bringing the law to the leaders of seductive cults and guiding their followers into the light.

Thanks to a robust intelligence network and the Starlight Gang’s powerful hard strength, they managed to handle, at the least, four or five culprits in a day, and at the most several dozen. This number only accounted for those taken down, while many timid sects dissolved or fled upon hearing the news.

Passing by their own cathedral, Erin would occasionally display miracles to gather faith and console the lost believers after a religious purge.

Within a month, they nearly transformed the Cult Museum of Gao Mu Country into a graveyard for cults.

This is the simplicity and elegance of the warfare of faith in a new era.

A month later, following the full rebranding of the New Cosmos Sect, it instantaneously became the largest religion in Gao Mu Country.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Bright Central Cathedral in the Capital saw the attendance of the president, seeking to win back public support, who officially declared himself the first formal believer of the Eternal Light Church.

The momentum of the Eternal Light Church surpassed the New Cosmos Sect by a considerable degree, with nearly 70% of the nation’s population registering as formal believers.

With the faith harvest from the Silent Route Plane complete, it was time for Wu Chang and Erin to leave.

An hour before departure, Li Yubin timed her arrival perfectly outside Wu Chang’s office.

Upon reuniting, Li Yubin had changed a lot; she no longer carried the giant camera she was almost inseparable from, her work attire replaced by the elegant suit of high society, her face adorned with a pair of frameless glasses, slightly obstructing her sharp and piercing gaze.

She seemed to have matured a bit, but Wu Chang could still feel that at her core, she remained the pure and passionate reporter.

Upon meeting, Li Yubin said the first line: ”After this operation, I’ve thought long and hard, and simply revealing the truth isn’t enough; only by truly mastering power and violence can we genuinely eliminate those parasitic vermin.”

”Therefore, I’ve decided to enter politics and aim to run for the presidency in the next election.”

Wu Chang clapped without sarcasm, ”I’ll help you.”

Li Yubin smiled, ”Thank you.”

”It’s only right.”

One moment they were discussing serious matters, the next, Li Yubin suddenly asked, ”Are you leaving?”

Wu Chang felt a slight jolt; he controlled himself not to look back, maintaining composure as he replied, ”Gao Mu Country is too small; it’s no longer suitable for me. I’m planning to go abroad and take the Eternal Light Church worldwide.”

Li Yubin asked, ”Will you come back?”

Wu Chang: ”I probably will.”

Li Yubin softly said, ”I’ll wait for you.”

After Li Yubin left, Wu Chang turned to look at Erin, letting out a few awkward chuckles, ”It’s getting late, Miss Erin, we should be going.”

He recalled a particular mention Erin had made during their time together, regarding the upgraded effects of the Saint’s Legacy Mask, which made their connection more intimate, with Erin inheriting some of his non-talent abilities.

For example, the ability to see emotions.

The emotions Li Yubin just displayed seemed quite intense; he hoped Erin’s focus remained on the computer and didn’t look over.

Erin slightly tilted her head, casually asking, ”Off early and back early?”

Hmm, that line carried a bit of an aggressive tone.

Wu Chang pretended not to understand, saying, ”It’s about time to head back to Blue Star.”

The time flow between the past dungeons and the real world was 1440:1. They had spent forty days in the Silent Route, circling Gao Mu Country more than three times, yet less than an hour had passed in reality.

At this moment, not long had passed since the True Self’s interview on ”This Week’s Hot Topics,” and the Management Bureau’s actions had just commenced, it was the calm before the storm.

One could foresee that regardless of the World Dungeon information revealed by the True Self or the intelligence regarding the Realm of Reason brought by Xu Dejun, they were bound to unsettle the Desolate Realm.

Anticipating the impending upheaval, Wu Chang stretched and lay down on the bed.

Best to lay low for two days, let the situation build up, then go watch the spectacle.
