Abel's angelic body ignored the defensive barrier of the Central Temple of the Nation of God as if it was nothing. He slowly passed through the barrier.
As he passed through the barrier, his movements were extremely slow, and he was ready to escape at any time.
He wasn't sure if he could fool the most powerful beings in the Central Temple, but at the same time, he could feel that this temple was very important to him. It wasn't easy to get a chance, so he decided to take the risk.
His feet didn't touch the ground, and his body was invisible. His angelic body was like a ghost, quietly approaching the temple.
But the first obstacle was right in front of him. The gate of the Central Temple was closed.
In front of him was a huge door made of metal. The top half of the door was the beauty of heaven, while the bottom half was the danger of the mortal world. It was a strong contrast.
It was as if the most beautiful thing in the world was heaven. Wealth, power, beauty, and everything else were no longer important. Only a firm belief in God could grant eternal life.
In the middle of the gate was a row of strange words. It was the language of heaven. Abel couldn't read it at first, but after receiving the angelic inheritance, he could.
"Those who believe in me shall have eternal life!" It didn't matter if they knew or didn't know these words, they would have a strong influence on them. It was as if the holy will of God was blowing in their faces.
Abel, on the other hand, was a little depressed. This door was more than 10 meters tall. It was almost impossible to open it without alerting anyone in the temple.
"How can there only be one entrance to the temple?" He suddenly remembered the information he got from the preachers. Although the design of the temples was far inferior to the one in front of him, the general function of the temple was almost the same.
He slowly flew to a higher place, where he saw a skylight. It allowed sunlight to enter the temple naturally, increasing the sanctity of the temple.
In order to allow sunlight to enter the temple through the skylight, there was no physical barrier in the design. The outermost layer of the temple's divine power barrier not only ensured the safety of the temple, but also blocked the natural rain and snow. Even the extreme cold and heat were blocked, so the central temple was always maintained at the best temperature.
This was an important way to increase the sanctity of the temple. Every believer who entered the temple would feel that the temple was the only building they wanted to enter.
It was for this reason that the skylight at the top of the temple didn't need to be designed to block rain and snow.
Of course, the actual function of this skylight was much higher than an ordinary skylight. This was because there was a strange magic formation here. This magic formation was specially designed for temples. It could open a shield with a colorful pattern above the skylight.
This could change the color of the sunlight that entered the temple according to the needs, increasing the sanctity of the temple.
As long as it wasn't a physical window, it was defenseless against the angel's body.
His body easily went through one of the skylights. His movement didn't even affect the sunlight that entered the temple, and he didn't make a single sound.
Inside the temple, his perception of the temple was even stronger. He felt like he could control the temple, but he didn't dare to release his power of the Will.
He carefully descended from the top of the temple. He found himself in the middle of the temple.
He looked at the altar. Except for that direction, the other places were where the believers prayed. The altar was where the most important part of the temple was.
Because the spokesperson of God, the Saint, wasn't in the temple, there was no one in the temple. It was very quiet.
However, amidst this silence, there were hidden dangers everywhere. Just when he flew down from the skylight and arrived at the altar, he encountered three scanning arrays.
If he wasn't using his angelic body, the temple would have been alarmed.
When he came to the altar, he saw the statue placed on the altar. The faith power in the statue made him feel like he was facing the sun. He wanted to reach out and touch the statue, but he didn't do it.
The faith power in the statue was too scary. He was afraid that if he reached out, he would explode. Or, the consequences would alert the strong people in the temple.
But his eyes were attracted to a crystal that was forming under the statue. If the faith power was a fog, then this small crystal was a diamond. Maybe they were of the same quality, but their nature was very different.
He carefully flew to the bottom of the incomparably holy angel statue and reached out to pick up the crystal at the bottom of the statue.
When he picked up the crystal, he stopped breathing. He didn't want anything to happen because of this crystal.
But even the strongest couldn't keep their power of the Will open to monitor the entire temple. Not to mention the consumption of energy, they couldn't keep it up.
Not to mention, every single part of the temple was protected by the power of God. Even if a god came, they wouldn't be able to sneak in.
So Abel was worried about the existence of danger. As long as he didn't trigger the alarms in the temple, he wouldn't be discovered.
The crystal in his hand wasn't fully formed, but it was still filled with solidified power of God.
Abel thought back to the Wizard Union's speculation about how the Nation of God would seal off all dimensional forces whenever they attacked the Central Continent. It was probably because the Nation of God had activated the holy crystal that sealed off all dimensional forces.
When he sensed the solidified power of God, his first thought was that it was a "holy crystal."
Since the divinity crystal was not fully formed, he could better sense the situation of the divinity crystal.
The inside of the "holy crystal" was formed by the power of God. The power of God was formed by a special structure that looked like a pure gem.
It was different from the power of faith on the statue. The power of faith on the statue had a clear message of the god. In other words, other than the god and those recognized by the god, no one else could use the power of faith.
However, the "holy crystal" in his hand was completely different. The power of God didn't have any message of the god. It was like a public power that could be activated by anyone.
Abel knew that the "holy crystal" could restrict dimensional forces, but he didn't know how to use it.
But no matter what, he knew that the divinity crystal was a true treasure. Although he didn't feel that the divinity crystal would benefit him in any way, he still wanted to get more if he had the chance.
He looked around the altar again and didn't find anything else.
Every item here contained the power of faith, whether it was the tables, chairs, or decorative shelves, lamps, and so on. Whether it was the materials or workmanship, every item was absolutely top-notch. The most important thing was that if an ordinary person used these items for a long time in the temple environment, their lifespan would be extended.
However, he didn't touch any of those things. The disappearance of the "holy crystal" might be because the Saint wasn't here, so no one would care. However, if something was missing, even the servants would be alarmed.
He saw the wooden door on the side of the altar. It was the entrance for the temple members to leave the altar. There should be something good there.
He was a bit annoyed. He didn't dare to use his power of the Will here, so his perception was suppressed. It was very inconvenient.
He put away the "holy crystal" and slowly flew to the wooden door. The door didn't have a handle, only an identification circle.
Seeing this result, he had the urge to split the wooden door open with his palm. However, he still wanted to try the feeling of treating the temple as his home.
He placed his hand on the identification formation of the wooden door. Before the formation was activated, he sensed everything about the wooden door, including the internal structure, the operation of the formation, and even the control of the formation.
It felt like this place was his magic tower. No matter what circle was set up, as long as he was the master, everything here was open to him.
He moved his consciousness slightly, and the circle stopped activating. The wooden door opened.
He had a feeling that if he could release his power of the Will, he would be able to control everything within the range of his power of the Will.
However, unless he had no other choice, he would not try this. The current situation was very good. He quietly entered and quietly searched for the things he wanted. If he could quietly leave, that would be even better.
The wooden door opened, and his body floated in. Afterward, the wooden door closed silently.
Behind the wooden door, this seemed to be the residence of the temple's upper echelons. He could see doors on both sides of the wide hallway.
A preacher wearing a white robe walked out of one of the doors. If he was a step earlier, he would've been able to see the wooden door open and close silently.
Abel saw this preacher. He didn't need to sense too much to know that this preacher was only an advanced Knight. Judging from his life force, he wasn't too old. He was probably a genius Knight of the temple.
This preacher was holding a book in his hand. His footsteps were very steady as he walked deeper into the hallway. This made Abel's eyes light up, and he quickly followed.
The preacher didn't know that there was an angel behind him. Even if the angel's body wasn't merged with heaven and earth, just its legendary level body was enough to hide him.
After walking a short distance, the cleric turned a corner in the corridor and continued walking.
Abel followed him. Soon, the preacher passed through an open-air hallway and entered a sub-building of the temple.
This made Abel very satisfied. If he had to look for it himself, it would've taken him a long time to find it.
The main function of the temple was to preach, so there wouldn't be too many important facilities.
The preacher walked to a door and pressed his hand on it. The door opened, and he walked in.
Abel saw the library as soon as the door opened, so he gave up on the idea of going in.
He looked around and saw that there were two elite Holy Knights standing guard at the entrance of a tunnel. His heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this telling him that there was something good here and that he should come here quickly?
The temple had sent two elite Holy Knights to guard the entrance. In fact, it was just to prevent anyone from entering.
The guards in the temple didn't need to be very strong. Advanced Knight's role was no different from that of a fanatic Knight. Once the alarm was raised, the entire temple's defense would make it impossible for the enemy to escape.
Of course, these guards were more of a warning and a demonstration of status. Those who could enter this hallway were naturally of high status. At the same time, it would also block the curiosity of others.
Abel floated in the air and passed by the two advanced Knight.
The two advanced Knight were very dutiful. Not only did they watch the hallway with bright eyes, but they also released their power of the Will to seal the entrance.
However, this didn't have any effect on Abel's angelic body. When he passed by, the two advanced Knight's power of the Will didn't react at all.
Of course, Abel also controlled his eyes and didn't look at the two advanced Knight. He never underestimated the enemy. A highly focused advanced Knight's spiritual sense was always open. As long as there was any danger, this unreasonable spiritual sense would ignore the difference in level.
Abel knew the function of spiritual sense. He didn't have any killing intent towards the two advanced Knight, so he didn't even look at them. Naturally, their spiritual sense wouldn't be triggered.
After entering the hallway, he found that it was a downward passage. Below the passage was a flight of stairs.
However, looking at the dense array patterns on the stairs, it was easy to imagine that these stairs weren't easy to climb. In addition, he sensed a defensive barrier and a scanning array.
The defense here could be said to be outrageous. It was this defense that made him even more convinced that there must be something good in here.
At the end of the passage was another door. This was a metal door. It was made of the same material as the one in the temple.
This time, he was experienced. He placed his hand on the metal door and instantly closed the identification circle on the door. At the same time, he opened the door.
He was afraid that the door would make a sound when it opened, so he kept his hand on the metal door. His terrifying strength came into play. The weight of the metal door was completely supported by his hand. When the door opened, it didn't rub against the top and bottom of the door.
Don't be fooled by this simple action. The control it required was an exquisite control of one's strength.
Even if Abel trained for many days in the Dark World, it was still possible for his angelic body to make a mistake.
