[Second Update]
The Eye of the Soul couldn't see anything special about the stone house. The magic left by the God of Light only prevented the stone house from being destroyed. Walking to the door of the stone house, Salin glanced inside. There was a chair, a table, and no bed.
It was a very simple place. Except for the chair, it was not much better than the huts of the poor. There was a little puddle on the ground, and it didn't look very clean.
Was this set up by the gods? Salin didn't believe it.
"When do we start?" Salin turned back and asked the cardinal. The cardinal felt very uncomfortable. They wanted to invite the clone of the God of Light down to kill the sorcerer in front of him.
But it seemed that the sorcerer wasn't afraid and was very enthusiastic. Maybe if he needed anything, the sorcerer could provide it.
Just as he thought of this, Salin said, "When you came, I killed a lot of people, and some resources may have been lost. Tell me what you need, and I will provide it to you."
"Are you crazy?" The cardinal couldn't help but ask. If he didn't, he would be suffocated.
"No, in fact, sorcerers, like you mages, want to see the gods with your own eyes. The only difference is that when you see a god, you have to kneel down and worship him. But for me, I want to kill him. "
Seeing that the cardinal's face was quite ugly, Salin withdrew his domain. The lightning domain was so oppressive to the eighth-level mage that he looked like he was going to faint.
Salin withdrew his domain, and the mage said to his subordinates in fear, "Quick, set it up!"
The materials for setting up the divine runes were all in his spatial equipment. Originally, he wasn't qualified to come, but the senior mages in the College were afraid of danger. He was a new cardinal, so he was appointed.
If he could complete the sacred rite, he could go straight to the College after returning.
Now he understood why the elders said so. It was because the chances of him going back alive were not high. Salin's body slowly rose, wrapped in clouds, and his face could no longer be seen.
From the floating city, Raphael flew down with the metal angel and entered Salin's clouds.
Raphael said to Salin with a heavy expression, "My lord, are you sure you want these people to complete the sacred rite?"
"Yes, I want to challenge the clone of a God."
"You might die."
"No, my luck hasn't been interrupted. At least, the astrology didn't indicate my death."
"Your astrology is only at level ten. The God of Light is a level fifteen god. He can hide such a sign. Prophecy is the specialty of the gods. "
"I can't wait for him to come slowly." Salin pointed at the stone house below and said, "When he comes personally, it means that he's fully prepared. I have a rough understanding of this god. He is very powerful. If he can bring all the angels with him, no one in this plane will be able to stop him. "
"Sir, you still don't understand. I've only sealed my power at Level 12, but I'm confident that I can kill an ordinary Level 12 powerhouse. If the God of Light's avatar were to descend, I would definitely be no match for it. "
"Are you afraid of death, Rafael?"
"I'm not afraid."
"I'm a human, so I'm not afraid," Salin replied with a smile.
Raphael could only sigh. She was already thinking about how to deal with the clone of a god. On the floating city, she had secretly asked Neris to collect enough divine gems for her.
Many divine gems were also sent over from the City of Nature, which Raphael equipped as much as she could. This time, it would be a fierce battle. She had lost the protection of the gods and could only rely on her own strength to fight.
This feeling was really strange.
In the past, when she fought for the God of Metal, no matter how serious her injuries or even death, she could not feel fear. Because in the God of Metal's Divine Kingdom, she could resurrect at any time and recover her strength.
It seemed like Salin was the only one who wasn't afraid. His followers were all preparing for the worst.
Under Salin's watchful eyes, the mages began to set up the divine rune arrays. Nicholas also descended from the floating city and explained to Salin.
Salin watched the movements of the mages with interest. It seemed that, like mages, the use of divine magic also borrowed the power of the elements, but in a different way.
Mages used their own magic strings to mobilize the elements in space, while mages prayed to the gods and received the power of the gods. Using divine power to manipulate all the elements meant that, in essence, divine magic and magic had the same origin.
The problem was that magic branched into the various details of the elements, while divine magic mixed the elements together. Even the light magic of the God of Light was not just the power of the light element.
The three thousand followers waited quietly. Salin even had the mood to count. Apart from the more than a hundred followers who had escaped, there were still more than three thousand followers left. In such a large formation, the materials needed to set up such a large formation were not expensive.
This was where mages were stronger than mages. Mages usually needed expensive materials to set up a magic formation. The higher the level of the formation, the more so.
Of course, it was said that after humans reached level-15, they only needed the magic of mages to set up a magic formation. At least that was the case for one-time magic formations.
Of course, the mages did not want Salin to watch, but Salin was stronger than them. It was strange enough that he could make them set up a divine formation. If they asked Salin to leave, the result would be terrible.
Nicholas had never set up such a large Sacred Sacrifice Formation before. He was very happy watching from above. He even forgot how terrifying the enemy he had to face was when a clone of a god descended.
From this point of view, Nicholas was already a qualified fallen mage.
Fallen mages were like mages. In order to study divine magic, they would forget to eat and sleep. Sometimes, they would even risk their lives.
It was faster than Salin had expected. The huge divine formation below surrounded the stone house of the saints. It was completed in three hours. But until now, no one dared to try to enter the stone house.
This was because it was different from the past. Before the Sacred Sacrifice, if they failed to enter the stone house, it would affect the stability of the formation.
They could only let the gods choose one out of the three thousand followers. In fact, it did not matter if they could not choose. If all three thousand followers were sacrificed, the gods would be alarmed. One had to know that this Sacred Sacrifice was for children under the age of sixteen. Even if they were not saints, they could barely be considered pure.
The mages did not dare to be negligent. Only the heavens knew whether or not the magician would go back on his word. Since he had agreed to the Sacred Sacrifice, it was best to hurry.
The leading cardinal ordered everyone to sit down in the center of the divine runic symbol array. Then, he began to lead everyone in chanting prayers.
Salin did not understand what these people were saying, but Nicholas understood that it was the language of the gods. It was a divine language that belonged to the God of Light, so it was not difficult to learn. His followers would often listen to it, and they would try their best to learn it. This was because in the kingdom of the God of Light, everyone had to speak the language of the gods. If you could not, you did not have the qualifications to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Nicholas explained to Salin. Salin smiled. "This is a good method. Let people learn the language of the gods and gradually forget their origins. If there is only the Tanggulas Empire on the continent, then the history of the Myers Continent will be rewritten. Humans will think that they were created by the gods. "
"Your Highness, I never thought of this. It seems that it is true."
Salin thought that the gods had their ways. These details did not seem important, but if a plane did not have history, it would be much easier to control. The Myers Continent was different. Only the poorest Tanggulas Empire was controlled by the Holy See. Those believers could not come into contact with real history and thought that what the gods said was the truth.
If they knew that many gods had been destroyed by humans, then it would be too difficult to attract people to join the Holy See.
3,000 believers chanted prayers at the same time. Salin was annoyed, but he could not use the sound of thunder to dispel it. He wanted to see the strength of the gods. If he dispelled it, then there would be no fun.
In the floating city, the little girl that Salin had brought along was alone in a secret room, unattended. This was imprisonment. At least before the God of Light descended, Salin did not want her to come out.
But this little girl sat in the center of the room. Above her head, there was a faint flash of light. She was also chanting a prayer in the language of the gods.
She looked only five or six years old. When she told Salin that she was 12, she did not lie. As a pure believer, she could not lie, otherwise the gods would blame her. She would not lie, even to her enemies.
She had been going to the church to pray since she was three years old. In a year, she learned the language of the gods. But when she was five years old, she never grew up and always looked like a child.
In that small city, she was a very famous person. The cardinal who protected her was also her teacher in theology. She could only have a teacher-student relationship with her teacher when she was 16 years old, so she did not lie to Salin.
The little girl prayed devoutly. Light flowed around her heart and spread to her whole body, forming rune halos between her skin and muscles.
None of the 3,000 believers on the ground had such a reaction. The most obvious one only had light shining on his head, but not even a rune had formed.
The stone house of the saints was quiet. No miracles appeared.
A whole day had passed, and Salin was a little tired. Because he had already heard those believers chanting the prayer for the third time. The length of the prayer was indeed terrifying. It was hundreds of times longer than the longest magic incantation. He really did not know how these people endured it. To use such a long time to praise a god, did these people not find it annoying?
"Master, not good!" Nicholas suddenly pointed to the sky. The floating city suddenly trembled. In the center of the floating city, a huge wound split open, and a strong light shot down.
Salin quickly dodged, not even trying to stop it.
