Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 978: Chapter 411: Rekindling Resentment

The Soul Light Cathedral, once Sirena’s First Church, was regarded as a miracle in itself for its existence.

The power source of the Soul Light Church is twofold: firstly, the special bricks containing Blood Moon Power made from the living corpse materials inside the cathedral, and secondly, people’s faith and the Tree of Miracles.

Before Wu Chang left the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon, he didn’t demolish the Soul Light Cathedral, but he used the Soul Cleansing Banner to exorcise the living corpses within the Blood Moon Bricks and also destroyed the Tree of Miracles in the church.

In the third month after he left the plane, due to the cessation of miracles and the rise of the Soul Light Sect, the cathedral lost its faith and collapsed on its own.

At this moment, the Soul Light Cathedral still remains in ruins.

The ruins are engraved with runes, serving as the central node for the entire miracle-guiding ritual, where the believers’ power of faith and life force is flowing towards it through the ceremony.

Sent by Leman as a Divine Envoy into the plane, the White Wolf’s power naturally could not be compared to Simmons’. The moment Wu Chang and Erin appeared, he sensed it and walked out from the central node. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

The White Wolf looked at Wu Chang and Erin, showing no embarrassment of being caught secretly doing bad deeds but rather displaying an air of a victor, saying:

”Indeed, the faith of this plane is related to you.”

Wu Chang had already guessed that the White Wolf was looking for them; he wasn’t surprised by the White Wolf’s words. Compared to the White Wolf’s reaction, he was more surprised by the White Wolf’s origins.

He sized up the White Wolf and said, ”I didn’t expect the Bright Society to cooperate with the Peaceful Sect to such an extent just to find me.”

The expression on the White Wolf’s face froze, incredulously, ”How did you figure it out?”

Wu Chang smiled slightly, speaking with an innate tone:

”There’s a scent of forgery about you.”

The timing of the White Wolf’s appearance was too coincidental; the Peaceful Sect had not sent anyone into the Midnight Graveyard Plane for such a long time, yet once they did, a Divine Envoy appeared.

Besides, he had heard Han’er mention that the White Wolf paid special attention to the Eternal Light Sect, making it easy to deduce that the White Wolf was here for him.

Initially, he thought perhaps it was because Leman had hit a wall multiple times on the Steam Phantom Plane, or maybe because he had been too harsh on Leman before, causing Leman to send someone to seek revenge.

But one thing puzzled him: after he had thwarted the Steam Dungeon, Leman should have had some awareness of his power; why would even after crushing Leman’s projection, Leman continue to send subordinates to their deaths?

The instant he saw the White Wolf, Wu Chang understood the reason for this disharmony.

He sensed the aura of Imaginary Divinity from the White Wolf.

He had encountered many divinities, whether Abyssal native deities or Divine Seeds, even deep-layer Abyssal deities like Leman and Kristen.

Compared to the divinity gathered from these roots, Imaginary Divinity carries a uniquely superficial feeling.

In Wu Chang’s eyes, the light emitted by Imaginary Divinity feels vague and unreal, akin to a photo taken out of focus.

The weaker the power, the stronger this feeling; at the level of Mercury and awakened Amber, this superficial aura is already very faint. Compared to them, Hercules’ divinity is somewhat lacking, and the divinity within the White Wolf is particularly evidently tenuous.

A brief glance was enough for Wu Chang to recognize that the divinity within the White Wolf was merely a Divine Seed about to mature.

The so-called miracle guiding ritual was actually a ceremony to expedite the maturation of divinity.

In Wu Chang’s eyes, the difference between Imaginary Divinity and regular divinity is apparent, but the White Wolf could not comprehend what Wu Chang was saying, shaking his head and stating, ”Deliberately mystifying.”

Wu Chang did not intend to explain to the White Wolf and said:

”Before you came in, did Mercury tell you that if you’re caught by me, you’d better voluntarily confess? If you wait for me to act, you’ll suffer.”

The White Wolf’s mouth slightly curled up, unconcerned about Wu Chang’s threat.

Before entering the Midnight Graveyard Plane, he had some understanding of Wu Chang’s achievements, but not much, only knowing he had embarrassed the Bright Society leaders.

Among the Desolate Realm players, achieving this was quite impressive, but it was still inadequate to deal with him.

Realm of Reason players entering the Desolate Realm would be suppressed by the plane’s barrier from the Abyss; even divinity could not exempt this suppression.

The divinity suppressed by the plane barrier could produce very limited effects, far inferior to divinity in its complete state.

His power was not as formidable as the Bright Society high-levels, but he awakened in the Desolate Realm with a Divine Seed within, and his divinity could exert all its effects in the Desolate Realm.

Now, as the Divine Seed matured continuously, immense powers emerged within him; under the infusion of Divine Power, he felt invincible.

To put it somewhat provocatively, once the Divine Seed matured, he believed he could defeat the projection of the Bright Society high-levels.

He said to Wu Chang, ”You might as well boast now, but when my divinity awakens, you’ll learn what cruelty truly means.”

After speaking, the White Wolf’s body transformed into flowing light, transported through the Mystical Ceremony to another ritual node.

He intended to use this method to buy time for the divinity to mature.

A flash of light occurred before his eyes, and once his vision stabilized, he found himself at a ritual node far from the Soul Light Cathedral.

Looking at the Transcendent guarding the node, he was about to speak but saw the Transcendent’s body collapse to the ground, followed by Wu Chang and Erin appearing in front of him out of thin air.

The White Wolf’s heart jolted, preparing to transport to another area immediately, but Wu Chang called out before the White Wolf could leave:
