Chapter 1737: Chapter 119: Difficulties and Obstacles
“Bang!”
After interrogating the steward, the old man immediately decided to take action against the problematic Viscount Hank. Learning from the last lesson, this time he knocked the person out first.
For Sanctuary Powerhouses, “The Kingdom of God” is equally a mysterious place. If he hadn’t had suspicions about the Divine Spirit’s fall and chose to observe cautiously, he would also have been one of the explorers of The Kingdom of God.
With the information at hand, the old man could basically determine that the upheaval in the Kingdom was related to the large-scale exploration of The Kingdom of God.
His intuition told him that not only the Falcon Nobles were parasitized, other factions involved in the exploration of The Kingdom of God had more or less been infiltrated.
The upheaval commenced with the Falcon Kingdom, only because they were isolated overseas, conducive to sealing off news, not drawing the Human Alliance’s immediate attention.
Realizing this point, the old man didn’t hesitate and directly decided to take the captive to seek help from the Human Alliance.
Before leaving, he also sent a notice to the Sanctuary Powerhouses on the island. The others could only fend for themselves, as in the uncertain situation of how many nobles had been parasitized, the old man dared not trust anyone.
…
Inside The Kingdom of God.
“Ancestor, the Falcon Kingdom is completely in our grasp. But our power has not yet recovered, leaving some to slip through the net!”
Even though the Ancestor remained sealed, the group of purple-robed men dared not show any disrespect.
The entire species was created by this Ancestor before them, and the bloodline suppression had long seeped into their bones.
“A few slipping through the net is nothing; since the gods have fallen, they can’t return any time soon.
In the long future ahead, the enemies we need to face are this worldly bunch.
First, stabilize the situation, and when the other factions take action, we can seize the opportunity to expand towards the continent.”
The hoarse voice came from within the barrier, showing that this “Ancestor’s” state was not good.
Being confined within The Kingdom of God for countless years, with the soul nearly obliterated, who would have thought the gods ended up in trouble at the last moment.
Not appearing in the worldly realm for thousands of years wasn’t due to the Divine Spirits’ unwillingness, nor because the world restricted the exhibition of divine power.
The real reason lay in the battle from ten thousand years ago, where even though the gods defeated the foreign invasion, they themselves were heavily injured.
This originally wasn’t a big deal; after some healing, they would recover.
Unfortunately, the omnipresent Power of Faith was unexpectedly poisonous. When the gods realized something was wrong, their souls had already been contaminated by the Power of Faith.
They tried all kinds of methods but couldn’t remove it; after fighting hard for thousands of years, the Divine Spirits eventually couldn’t resist and fell.
“Ancestor, are you suggesting the gods might return?”
The group asked fearfully.
After the Sanctuary clan’s invasion failed, they were imprisoned by the gods for ten thousand years. If not for the Ancestor preserving their souls, they would have long turned into world nourishment.
Should the gods return, everything they possess might vanish into thin air.
“Those who have lived for centuries can’t die so easily.
The Kingdom of God is no longer what it used to be, even if the gods return, they must start over in cultivation.
Pay more attention normally; if you discover any extraordinary talents, send people to capture them immediately. I want to personally develop them into part of our race.”
…”
Upon hearing their Ancestor’s explanation, the originally fearful group instantly regained their composure.
They only feared the Divine Spirits with full power; once deprived of that power, who cares about a mere divine presence!
If they encounter Divine Spirits deprived of power, sacrilege would unfold in no time.
The thought of Divine Spirits’ blood made the group secretly drool; these things are a tremendous supplement to them.
If Divine Spirits could be developed into their race members, it would be immensely fulfilling.
…
Once the information is leaked, its spread can be astonishingly swift.
The Human Alliance receives the message, and the high-level officials of various human nations also obtain the information.
Relying on the strategy of Replacing the Peach for the Plum to overthrow a Kingdom’s government is a first in history.
Jade Palace.
Looking at the documents distributed into his hands, Hudson was startled.
“Damn ‘Sanctuary clan,’ they’re clearly the vampires from myth and legend.
Crossing worlds myself was one thing, but how did these legendary vampires come along too?”
Constantly complaining inwardly, yet showing nothing on his face.
Having witnessed numerous bizarre events, another one isn’t of consequence.
“If the disaster’s source is The Kingdom of God, then the influence won’t be limited to the Falcon Kingdom; the Kingdom must take action too.
The method of soul parasitism is terrifying; anyone who explored The Kingdom of God might have their bodies occupied by these eerie Sanctuary clan.
Chancellor, how does your government plan to handle these evil species?”
Caesar IV inquired with concern.
Combating evil species has been the Clergy’s task. Since the gods fell, civilian belief crumbled, and the three major clergies all disintegrated.
The professional teams combating evil species are gone, leaving this obligation to various governments.
Soul parasitism occupying bodies and gradually assimilating them for personal use are methods that no authority can tolerate.
If they don’t seize the opportunity to annihilate this evil species, someday the Falcon Kingdom’s tragedy might befall them.
“Your Majesty, the only course of action is to issue a ban, prohibiting major domestic forces from entering The Kingdom of God.
Rigorous checks on nobles returning from The Kingdom of God are necessary; the hidden dangers must be nipped in the cradle.
