Many of the things that Chen Heng had done in the Karo Kingdom were not very good to many of the nobles.
There was no need to mention the rules.
In many cases, he had seized a considerable portion of the benefits from the hands of the nobles and seized this portion of the benefits into his own hands.
As such, it was normal that these things were not welcomed by the nobles.
Under normal circumstances, the Druidic Church's attitude should have been the same as the nobles', and they should have been quite displeased.
After all, Chen Heng did not take special care of them and treated them equally.
Before this, Chen Heng had already made preparations to offend a large number of people.
He was not afraid of offending them.
After all, there were not too many powerful factions in the Karo Kingdom.
As for the nobles, all of them could fight. Even if they all joined forces, Chen Heng would not even frown.
As for the Druidic Church, even though it was said to be the church of a god, it had long since weakened and did not have much strength left.
Their God had already fallen into a deep slumber and had not shown his face for many years. At this moment, if he was not in a deep slumber, then he had already fallen.
In such a situation, Chen Heng naturally did not fear these gods.
Chen Heng had even offended the Dusk Order, which had a god item and had the God of Dusk behind them.
This was even more so for a Druidic Church that did not even have a god.
If they really had the strength to resist Chen Heng, why did they not act when the Dusk Order was wreaking havoc in the Karo Kingdom?
It was because of this that Chen Heng had not placed these people in his eyes at all.
However, not placing them in his eyes was one thing.
However, Chen Heng had long since made preparations to be ostracized and opposed by these people.
However, from Guromary's words, it seemed that not only did the Druidic Church not object to his actions, but they were also quite cooperative.
This was a very strange thing.
Sitting there, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Heng's face, as if he was quite surprised.
In front of him, Guromary lightly looked at him and felt that his reaction was quite normal, "Before I came here, he met with the Pope of the Druidic Church.
They seem to want to meet you. "
"Is that so?"
Hearing Guromary's words, Chen Heng's interest was piqued. He smiled and asked softly, "What do they want?"
"I don't know."
Sitting in front of Chen Heng, Guromary shook her head and said, "However, their attitude seems to be quite sincere."
"Is that so …"
Chen Heng nodded and said softly, "Then let's give it a try."
"Your Highness, please help me inform them that I'll be waiting for them here."
"Since they want to see me, I'll grant them their wish."
He said this softly.
"Alright."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Guromary seemed a bit surprised, but she still nodded and did not object.
The matter was settled.
Then, time passed slowly.
A few days later, an uninvited guest came to pay a visit.
This was an old man dressed in a green robe. His face seemed to have been through the vicissitudes of life, but his temperament seemed to be very peaceful and calm. He had a temperament and demeanor that made people feel close to him.
Behind him were a few other acolytes, who were following behind him, looking around nervously.
They seemed to be very cautious. After coming to this place, they maintained a constant state of tension.
"Is this the place …"
The old man raised his head and looked at the courtyard in front of him as he thought to himself.
As he looked on, the courtyard appeared before him.
To ordinary people, this courtyard did not seem very special.
However, to the old man, it was very different.
A faint and inexplicable aura emerged from the surroundings, bringing with it a faint aura of divinity.
This was a sign that a divine existence had stayed here for a long time. Even though it was quite faint, it definitely existed.
To Priests like them, this sort of aura was incredibly sensitive, and they immediately sensed it.
Sensing this aura, the old man's expression was still quite calm. He could not help but clench his fists, and his body instinctively tensed up.
"Please come with me."
The servant in charge of leading the way said softly to the elder in front of him.
"Sorry for the trouble."
Following this, the old man gave a slight smile as he spoke.
Then, under the guidance of the servant, they slowly walked into the depths of the manor.
Inside the manor, they saw the person they wanted to see this time.
Chen Heng's figure stood within the courtyard, sitting there by himself as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
Only when the figures of the old man and the others appeared in the distance did he raise his head as if he had sensed something and looked in their direction.
In that moment, their gazes intersected, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
The instant Chen Heng looked over, the old man's body instinctively trembled and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Chen Heng's gaze.
To him, Chen Heng was like a resplendent sun, and his soul was filled with the might and aura of a god.
That aura caused others to tremble, and they didn't dare look directly at it at all. Even merely looking at it directly felt like a form of indescribable disrespect.
It made one feel a strange sense of fear.
Even the green-robed old man did not dare to look at Chen Heng directly and could only lower his head in case he was injured by that powerful aura.
This sort of feeling was incredibly terrifying, and those who had not experienced it before would not be able to imagine it at all.
On the other hand, the servants behind the old man seemed quite normal.
For some things, the more powerful one was, the more one would feel them.
Compared to the green-robed old man, although these servants were also priests, they were not at that high a level, so they did not feel it too vividly. Thus, they avoided that kind of feeling.
After entering this place, those servants stayed behind in the outside world.
Only the green-robed old man stepped forward and walked into the courtyard in front of him.
"Shi Long greets Your Majesty …"
The green-robed old man slowly walked forwards, and after coming before Chen Heng, his expression became respectful.
"Your Majesty …"
Hearing this, Chen Heng looked up at the old man and smiled, "I'm not some 'Your Majesty' …"
"You've awakened a god blood and are no longer an ordinary person, so you naturally deserve to be called 'Your Majesty' …"
Shi Long said with a respectful expression.
Just then, he seemed to have sensed many things.
Sitting on his seat and hearing the old man's words, Chen Heng smiled and suddenly felt that this was quite interesting.
In this world, apart from members of the royal family, the so-called 'Your Majesty' also referred to another kind of existence.
They were the lofty gods and god children.
For this person to address him like this, it was evident that he had discovered something.
"What do you know?"
Chen Heng asked softly as he looked at Shi Long.
"That night …"
Shi Long stood in front of Chen Heng and looked at him respectfully as he lowered his head and said, "I witnessed the entire battle between Your Majesty and the Dusk Order …"
"If you knew about the Dusk Order, why didn't you act earlier?"
Shi Long's words revealed a lot of information.
Chen Heng turned and looked at him as he asked.
From those words, it could be seen that this person and the Druidic Order had long since known about the Dusk Order's existence.
This is not a strange thing.
Even though the Dusk Order was powerful and far surpassed the Druidic Order in terms of strength.
However, in the Karo Kingdom, the Druidic Order was the local tyrant and had taken root here for countless years.
For ordinary people, it was incredibly difficult to find traces of the Dusk Order.
However, this was not the case for the Druidic Order.
Sitting on his seat, Chen Heng thought to himself.
"It's not that I don't want to …"
Facing Chen Heng's question, Shi Long gave a bitter smile, "It's just that the difference in strength is too great …
"In the past, we fought with the Dusk Order before, but we were not a match for them at all.
"But I'm no match for him. I can only curl up and can't interfere with anything else …"
"Within the Karo Kingdom, the Dusk Order was simply too powerful, and we were not a match for them."
He told them the reason.
Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
According to what Shi Long said, the Druidic Order and the Dusk Order had already clashed in the Karo Kingdom.
The result of that clash was undoubtedly that the Druidic Order had lost.
As such, from a long time ago, the Druidic Order had hidden themselves and did not show themselves.
On the other hand, the Dusk Order had become more and more arrogant, continuously expanding their strength within the Karo Kingdom.
Perhaps this was why the Druidic Order had fallen to such a state within the Karo Kingdom.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng nodded and said softly, "I heard from Her Highness Guromary that you wanted to see me.
"Now, you're here."
"Can you tell me your purpose?"
Sitting on his seat, Chen Heng asked softly and got straight to the point.
This meeting with the Druidic Order was not Chen Heng's own initiative but the Druidic Order's request through Guromary.
Since that was the case, it was evident that they had their own purpose.
The reason why Chen Heng had chosen to meet them was because he wanted to know what their purpose was.
He looked at Shi Long and waited with interest for his reply.
Under his gaze, Shi Long's expression gradually turned solemn.
In front of the servants, he got up and respectfully bowed to Chen Heng.
"I represent the Druidic Order in extending an invitation to you."
He said seriously, "We hope to be able to form an alliance with you to face the upcoming great era …"
"Alliance?"
Sitting on his seat, hearing the old priest's reply, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
He had never thought that the Druidic Order would send someone to negotiate with him for this.
"However, forming an alliance …"
As he thought to himself, Chen Heng raised his head and looked at Shi Long as he smiled, "Reason?"
"You need our power to help you, and we also need your power to fight for a future for us …"
In front of him, Shi Long said seriously, "Your Highness, you should have felt it as well, right …"
"A brand new era is about to arrive. In the coming years, the gods of the past will all return and descend upon this world …"
"A brand new era is about to arrive?"
As Chen Heng muttered this, he could not help but feel quite confused.
Shi Long said that he should have sensed it as well …
However, in actuality, Chen Heng wanted to say that he did not sense anything.
However, looking at Shi Long's serious expression, he did not say anything and only nodded, indicating for Shi Long to continue.
"A few years ago, the various churches started to act …"
In front of Chen Heng, Shi Long continued to speak, "Does Your Majesty know why this is happening?"
"Why?"
Chen Heng looked at Shi Long with a calm expression as he spoke softly.
On the surface, he looked quite calm.
However, in actuality, he really did not know.
"For the gods to descend once again …"
In front of Chen Heng, Shi Long deeply breathed in and said, "The gods of the past have fallen into a deep sleep and are slowly recovering …
"Now, the changes in the world have concluded, and the gods of the past are about to return.
"In order to welcome the return and descent of the Gods, the various churches will begin their own actions, using various methods to gather power to allow the Gods they believe in to return as soon as possible …"
He then asked another question, "Does Your Highness know what the Dusk Order's previous actions were for?"
"Even though they have hunted noble bloodlines in the past, they have been extremely restrained and have rarely revealed their actions.
"Massacring nobles on a large scale like before, and even targeting Her Highness Guromary, this kind of situation has never happened in the past."
Indeed.
Although the Dusk Order was notorious, they were clearly aware of this fact.
As such, in the past, they had always been very careful and had never hunted in the same region; they would only cause some accidents.
This was because they had a very clear understanding of themselves. They knew that if they were exposed, the various churches would quickly encircle and annihilate them.
When that time came, they would be in great danger.
As such, they rarely had such large-scale operations in the past.
However, before this, they had acted out of character and directly chosen to control the king. Then, through the king's large-scale slaughter of the nobles within Karo Kingdom, they used this method to hunt.
This situation was clearly abnormal. For the Dusk Order, it was considered abnormal.
Chen Heng had felt quite confused about this and did not understand the reason behind it.
However, it seemed that the answer had been revealed.
The silent era of the gods had passed, and the world had gone through great changes.
This also meant that the originally dormant gods were about to return to the World of Gods, descending upon it once more.
The Dusk Church's actions were most likely in preparation for this.
"So it's like that …"
Sitting there, listening to Shi Long's words, Chen Heng thought to himself, and he came to some understanding.
However, as he looked at Shi Long, some thoughts flashed through his mind.
The Dusk Church had carried out large-scale blood sacrifices to welcome the return of the Dusk God.
What about the Druidic Church?
Could it be that they had come to meet with Chen Heng in hopes of using Chen Heng's power to bring back the Nature God?
At that moment, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Under his gaze, Shi Long continued to speak, "The current situation is undergoing a drastic change."
"Your Highness Eckart, if you have our support, you will have new opportunities in this generation …"
"Opportunities, like?"
Hearing this, Chen Heng smiled and asked.
"An opportunity to become a god …"
As Chen Heng watched on, Shi Long deeply breathed in and gave his answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
In the surroundings, the few servants and guards at the side could not help but hold their breaths. At this moment, they subconsciously looked at Shi Long with expressions of disbelief.
An opportunity to become a god …
Sitting in his seat, Chen Heng could not help but frown.
Could such a thing be said so casually?
He raised his head and sensed the reactions of the servants around him, and he felt quite helpless before waving his hand.
A vast amount of mental energy surged and spread in all directions, affecting these people.
In that instant, the servants all looked dumbfounded.
Then, in their minds, the memories related to what had happened just now quickly disappeared, and they had already forgotten about this part of the experience.
Following this, they instinctively left this place and headed to the outside world.
Soon, only Chen Heng and Shi Long were left.
"Alright …"
After chasing away the servants, Chen Heng looked at Shi Long and said, "You can tell me now …"
"Just what is this so-called opportunity?"
Gods were the highest existences in the World of Gods, and they were the pinnacle of power in this world.
Chen Heng did not know much about the so-called gods' power, but from the performance of the divine items and the power from the divinity, he could tell just how powerful the gods of this world were.
This could be said to be standing at the pinnacle of this world, the most ultimate existence.
And now, Shi Long was saying that he had an opportunity to become a god.
This made Chen Heng feel quite interested.
As such, he became serious and looked at Shi Long, wanting to hear what he had to say.
