A huge disaster that was enough to destroy Anril vanished with the arrival of the Divine Punishment. Be it Anril, the Endless Ocean, or the mysterious Eastern Continent, countless Power of Faith immediately surged in Anril. The countless Power of Faith gathered into a majestic torrent that rushed out of Anril, and instantly penetrated through space and poured into Lin Li's body.
Is this what it feels like to be a god!? Lin Li quietly endured, or rather enjoyed, the infusion of the almost endless torrent of faith. The divine fire in his body also burned more vigorously under the infusion of the Power of Faith, and quickly transformed the Power of Faith into Divine Power.
However, Lin Li knew through the mark left behind by Geresco that he was still far from reaching the peak of the realm of the gods. At best, he could only be considered a low-level god. In the mythical era before the gods were suppressed, he would at most be considered a servant of the high-level gods. Only by condensing his Divine Power into a Divine Spark would he be able to truly become a true god that could dominate a world.
Of course, Lin Li no longer had any flaws now, and condensing a Divine Spark was only a matter of time.
While absorbing a large amount of Power of Faith, Lin Li discovered a strange situation. As a god that could accept the Power of Faith, he could clearly feel the source of the Power of Faith. That was the most basic ability of the gods, and it allowed them to know where they had more believers so that they could perform miracles to obtain more Power of Faith.
While Lin Li was continuously absorbing the Power of Faith from Anril, he discovered that the Power of Faith from the Eastern Continent of Anril was actually much larger and purer than that of Anril and the Endless Ocean. There were actually so many believers in that continent that he had never set foot on, which made Lin Li feel a little incredulous.
Although Lin Li planned to start condensing the Divine Spark next, he couldn't help but want to see what the mysterious Eastern Continent was like before that.
In Anril, there were many legends about the mysterious Eastern Continent. Legend had it that in the beginning, there was only one continent in the entire Anril. The ancient wyrms and the Titans fought for hegemony, and in a battle that gathered all the powerhouses of the two races, Anril was shattered. The Eastern Continent was the largest piece of debris.
It was mysterious because it was very difficult to reach the Eastern Continent from Anril by sea with the navigation technology of Anril. The Gilded Kingdom on the Endless Ocean happened to be located between the two continents. Hence, it had always acted as a transit station. That was how some people in Anril found out that there was a continent in the far east, and that there were also intelligent races like humans living there.
However, the rest of the situation was not that easy to understand. After all, even the voyage from Anril to the Gilded Kingdom was full of danger. To ordinary people, even the Gilded Kingdom was full of mysteries, let alone the more distant eastern continent.
Lin Li had once thought of going to the Eastern Continent to take a look. On one hand, he wanted to see if there were any similarities between the Eastern Continent and the world he had transmigrated to. On the other hand, he had promised Ina that he would help her find her mother in the Eternal Shrine.
All these years, Lin Li had not found any clues about the Eternal Shrine in Anril and the Endless Ocean. Hence, the only place left was the Eastern Continent that he had never set foot in.
Hence, Lin Li decided to fulfill his promise before calming down to condense his Godhood. Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take for him to condense his Godhood.
However, although the Endless Ocean was no longer an obstacle for Lin Li now, he could not descend into Anril with his real body at will. He could only use the method most commonly used by other gods, which was to descend into the Eastern Continent. Fortunately, there were no longer five Dragon Aspects in Anril. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome even if his clone descended.
Lin Li turned around and returned to the Omniscient Tower. Soon after, a ray of light shot out from the City of Destruction, and landed on the Eastern Continent of Anril, where the Power of Faith was the densest.
When Lin Li's clone opened his eyes and looked down, he saw thousands of believers in uniform worshipping him under the leadership of several elders. Everyone's eyes were filled with fanaticism and devotion.
"Great Lord of Eternity, your light is eternal, shine on us …"
Thousands of believers prayed to their god devoutly, praising him, and thanking him for saving the world.
However, apart from continuing to receive a large amount of Power of Faith, Lin Li did not pay much attention to the praises of those people. However, in the prayers of those believers, Lin Li noticed that the god they were talking about was the Lord of Eternity. Could this be the Eternal Shrine?
Soon, Lin Li confirmed his guess from the Power of Faith of the believers. This was indeed the Eternal Shrine that he was looking for, the origin of the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine. Moreover, in the Eastern Continent, the Eternal Shrine also had an extremely high status, just like the Supreme Council in Anril.
The Eastern Continent was much smaller than Anril, and was about twice the size of the Breezy Plains. There were no kingdoms in the entire continent, and the Eternal Shrine ruled over humans and all intelligent races. However, the ruling policy of the Eternal Shrine was close to inaction. It was like raising a flock of sheep, and there were almost no strict rules.
After a long time, the believers finished their prayers and dispersed, leaving only the few old priests of the Eternal Shrine who led the believers to pray. Only then did Lin Li's clone walk out of the tall statue and appear in front of the few old priests. With that, the few old priests were scared out of their wits. They had not expected that the god they believed in would actually descend upon them.
However, the leader, who should be the pope of the Eternal Shrine, seemed to have expected everything to happen after seeing Lin Li appear. He bowed to Lin Li respectfully without the slightest fear, and said, "Great Lord of Eternity, you're finally here!"
Upon hearing these words, the few old priests behind also reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Lin Li. At the same time, everyone had an extremely fervent expression on their faces. After all, not everyone had the luck to see the god that they had believed in for a lifetime descend in front of them.
The other party's reaction instead aroused Lin Li's curiosity. After carefully sizing him up, he suddenly thought of someone, and said, "Should I address you as the pope of the Eternal Shrine, or Prophet Willen of the Brilliance Shrine?!"
It turned out that Lin Li found that the person standing in front of him actually looked somewhat similar to the Retribution Knight Rodhart, and he couldn't help but think of the legendary Prophet Willen who had disappeared after sealing Rodhart.
After hearing Lin Li's question, the man's expression did not change much, and he calmly answered, "To answer your question, Lord, I am the High Priest of the Eternal Shrine, Willen, and also the Prophet of the Brilliance Shrine."
Lin Li finally knew that there was no pope in the Eternal Shrine, and instead there were seven high priests. In addition to the High Priest of the Brilliance Shrine, there were also the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine, the High Priest of the Holy Flames Shrine, and the other four High Priests of the Elements, as well as the High Priest of Chaos. However, there were only the High Priest of the Brilliance Shrine, Willen, and the four High Priests of the Elements in the Eternal Shrine now. The positions of the High Priests of the Darkness Shrine and Chaos Shrine had been vacant since the Dark Age.
Seeing that Willen had admitted his identity, Lin Li had no intention of making things difficult for him. He nodded, and said, "Alright, no matter what your identity is, in addition to understanding the Eternal Shrine, I'm also looking for someone."
"I don't know who you're looking for, but as long as he's on this continent, we'll definitely find him even if we have to go all out," said an old man behind Willen. Behind Valen was an old man with a flame embroidered on the chest of his robe. He was one of the four Archpriestesses of the Four Elemental Archpriestesses, Grona. When he heard that God had an order, he hurriedly agreed.
Lin Li smiled slightly, and didn't care about Grona's interruption. He reached out to take out the half of the iron arrow, and said, "I don't know that person's name, but I'm sure that she's from the Eternal Shrine. She went to Anril about 20 to 30 years ago. If she's still alive, bring her here. "
When the few high priests heard that Lin Li was looking for someone from the Eternal Shrine, they immediately looked much more relaxed. After all, even with the status of the Eternal Shrine in this continent, it would not be possible to search for someone aimlessly in a short period of time. However, when the few of them saw the half of the iron arrow in Lin Li's hand, their expressions changed slightly.
"Why, is there a problem?" Lin Li noticed the change in their expressions, and his heart sank. Could it be that Ina's mother was no longer around?
"No, no, please have a seat, Lord. We'll go and find her now," the high priests said in unison. The several high priests said in unison, and then respectfully bade farewell to Lin Li before hurriedly going to look for him.
On the other hand, High Priest Willen was still by Lin Li's side with a calm expression, and led Lin Li into the hall of the shrine in front of the square.
"Willen, tell me about you. The Brilliance Shrine has many speculations about your disappearance, but no one would have thought that you would actually come to the Eastern Continent and become the High Priest of the Eternal Shrine." Lin Li did not have the awareness of being a god at all, and simply found a seat in the hall to sit down casually.
Although Lin Li behaved very casually, Willen did not dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful, and simply stood at the side respectfully without taking the initiative to sit down. It was not only because Lin Li was regarded by them as the Eternal God, but also because they were in awe of Lin Li's powerful strength. Although Willen's strength had already reached the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, and was even halfway to becoming a god, he was still far inferior to Lin Li, a god who had ignited his divine fire.
After hearing Lin Li's question, Willen seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, and slowly explained the reason why he came to the Eastern Continent.
In fact, Lin Li had already guessed that the main purpose of Willen coming to the Eastern Continent was to find a way to let his brother Rodhart recover. That was also the reason why Willen chose to seal Rodhart instead of purifying him.
However, Rodhart became a Retribution Knight because he came into contact with the death aura of the Immortal King, and later obtained one of the Immortal King's arms. It could be said that in Anril, even the Immortal King could not restore Rodhart to his original state, let alone Willen. Hence, even when Lin Li purified Rodhart, Willen could not find a way to save him in the Eternal Shrine.
When Willen was in the Brilliance Shrine, he was known as the Son of The Holy Light in addition to being the prophet of the Brilliance Shrine. That was the reason why he became the High Priest of the Eternal Shrine. If he was the Incarnation of Darkness that the Darkness Shrine mentioned, he would probably be the best candidate for the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine.
After Lin Li and Willen chatted for a while, they soon heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside. Clearly, the people of the Eternal Shrine did not dare to neglect the orders of the gods.
With the sound of footsteps, a few people walked into the hall of the shrine. Apart from the few high priests who had just gone out, there was also a haggard woman in the middle. The woman was about 40 years old, and she vaguely resembled Ina. At a glance, Lin Li was almost certain that he had found the right person.
However, after scanning Ina's mother with his mental strength, Lin Li frowned, and asked the few high priests in a deep voice, "Can any of you explain to me what's going on with her body!?"
"Please forgive me, Master. Lilia used to be the Saintess of the Eternal Shrine, but she lost her purity when she went to Anril to train. Hence, after returning to the shrine, she will be punished by the commandment, which is to remove her title as the Saintess and imprison her for life. " Seeing that Lin Li was obviously infuriated, the few high priests were so frightened that they almost knelt on the ground. They dared not hide anything, and told him the reason.
Lin Li was most annoyed by the Saintess system. The gods could have all kinds of beauties they wanted, so why did they have to let a group of mortals choose a Saintess to serve? Women were in their prime, yet they had to abandon the happiness that should have belonged to them for an illusory god. How perverted must they be to come up with such a system!?
However, Lin Li had obtained a large amount of Power of Faith from the Eternal Shrine, after all. Hence, he couldn't be bothered to argue with them. He raised his hand, and a beam of light shone on Lilia's body from the void. Not only did it treat Lilia's illness, but it also raised her power to the Sanctuary-realm.
