"A month, huh?"
After the emissary left, Wu Ming remained silent for a long while before sighing.
He had already scanned the entire palace with his divine will, confirming that there were no traps left behind by the gods.
Since he knew that this continent was protected by a true god, the Eye of Supervision would not be so unwise.
"That's enough!"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up.
The Seer Continent's structure was stable enough for God's Descent. It would only be a matter of time before its ascension was complete.
"The rules of this world are that only true gods or true gods have the right to speak. Those below the Grand Heavenly realm are ultimately ants!"
Wu Ming lowered his head. "I must attain the Grand Heavenly realm. Furthermore … the secret of eternity must belong to me!"
The dimensions of the universe he had been to were too low compared to this world.
It was only here that the Grand Heavenly realm, and even the nine levels above it, were not legends!
That sliver of the secret of eternity that he had been pursuing might be obtained here!
"Of course, before that, I'll get rid of some noisy flies …"
Wu Ming looked at the documents on the table, a cold smile suffusing his face.
Previously, the nobles and factions of the Western Continent had thought that he was a pushover. They had swarmed over like flies that had seen blood, hoping to gain some benefits.
However, they had never imagined that the Seer Continent was protected by a god!
With that authority, he could naturally be more domineering when it came to foreign affairs. For example, he could slap the annoying flies to death with a single slap.
"Your Majesty!"
At that moment, Beatrice rushed in. Her expression changed when she saw the hall filled with unconscious figures.
She had not sensed the conflict between the gods at all.
"I'm fine. What happened outside?"
Wu Ming looked outside the palace, a pensive look on his face.
"Two Transcendents have suddenly appeared. They claim to be from the Great Chang Empire, and are the emissaries of Goddess Mazu. They're here to seek an audience with Your Majesty!"
Beatrice said respectfully.
"Mazu?"
She was the Great Chang Empire's ocean goddess. She had the authority of navigation, and was the closest god to Wu Ming.
"But … did they get the news so quickly?"
Wu Ming rolled his eyes.
If he hadn't revealed the 'God' behind him to scare them, these two Oracles would probably have acted like the subordinates of the Eye of Supervision from before, barging in rashly and treating his palace as if it didn't exist, right?
But now, as a God's Favored, he represented the True God in the mortal world, so he had to follow the rules of the game.
"Please come in!"
Wu Ming glanced at the palace maids and jesters who were still unconscious. "Also, clean up this place. Don't let the guests laugh at us!"
"Azure Sea, Bright Moon, greets the great Blue Colossal Dragon, the god favored one!"
Not long after Beatrice left, two mermaid girls walked in and bowed to Wu Ming.
They were wearing palace dresses, and under the thin mermaid veil, large areas of their skin could be vaguely seen. Their eyes were always watery.
"We are Mazu's emissaries, here to express the goodwill of our Goddess to the ruler of the kingdom …"
To be honest, Mazu had never thought of persuading them to join the Eastern pantheon in this western kingdom. They were only here for the navigation rights of the Seer Continent. Moreover, they did not represent the entire pantheon.
It seemed like the Eastern and Western God Palaces had long reached a consensus. Due to the race, the Seer Continent was tacitly recognized as a Western faction.
Although the exploration of mortals was not restricted, there were many more restrictions for the gods.
"Yes, please express my gratitude to the great Goddess!"
Although he was a little tired of this meeting, Wu Ming could only give a perfunctory reply. After a few words, he changed the topic. "But I heard that many ports in your country have opened exploration missions for this sea region. I wonder if it's true?"
"This …"
Canghai and Mingyue looked at each other, evidently not expecting this barbarian king to be so well-informed.
"I am a merciful person, but no matter how forgiving I am, there is a limit. I cannot watch as bandits wreak havoc in your house and send them out!"
Wu Ming announced. "From now on, all adventurers who pass through the storm and enter the kingdom's territory, regardless of whether they are from the East or the West, will be treated as illegal trespassers. A series of necessary measures will be taken to protect the safety of my country!"
Unspoken rules were unspoken rules because they could not be spoken of openly.
Once they were exposed, they would completely lose their deterrence.
Of course, the Seer Continent had previously been a pushover to the nobles of the East and West.
But now it was completely different!
This was because the protection of a true God represented the most basic right to speak.
When it came to protecting one's own country, even if one went overboard, what could outsiders say?
"This … We understand. We will definitely convey your intentions to our country …"
The two mermaids were a little embarrassed, but they still agreed.
… …
Jade Port.
Roger's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up. "Our Lord has given me a warning. This place is no longer safe. We must leave immediately!"
"Leave immediately? Lord Roger, why? "
Adams, who was at the side, was puzzled.
The combination of these two actually represented two different forces.
A certain God's church took the lead, and a great Western noble coordinated with them, plotting to divide the Seer Continent. At the very least, they wanted the juiciest piece of meat.
But now, a sense of panic and uneasiness surfaced in Roger's heart. "Our Lord's warning is definitely not wrong!"
"Alright!"
Adams nodded. "But how are you going to convince Captain Thoren?"
"Don't worry, I have special skills when it comes to persuading people!"
Roger smiled confidently.
But suddenly, a large number of footsteps could be heard, along with the noise of armor clashing, surrounding the entire inn.
"We are the royal army and the Watchers, under orders to capture spies!"
A powerful voice came from outside the inn.
"We're surrounded!"
Adams' face was as pale as paper, and even his lips were trembling.
He really regretted trying to persuade Roger to stay in the inn in order to enjoy the luxurious life on the shore.
In this way, the comfort level was naturally met, but it would be difficult to quickly evacuate if there was any danger.
Bang bang! Bang bang!
The footsteps that sounded like the god of death were getting closer and closer, and the commotion outside immediately calmed down.
"We … can't run anymore!"
Adams' expression was ferocious, and he pulled out a short sword from his bag.
"Curse!"
But in the next moment, a red light penetrated the door and accurately hit Adams.
This old fellow immediately let out a painful scream, and the muscles on his body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The short sword and dagger in his hand fell to the ground, piercing straight into the floor.
"Tsk tsk … Outsiders, you've conspired to overthrow the kingdom. Confess now!"
Surrounded by many armored knights, a red-robed witch slowly walked into the room. "Voodoo — Weaken!"
She raised her hand, and another area-of-effect weakening spell was cast.
Bang!
The representative of the nobles, Adams, who had long lost the strength to resist, immediately collapsed like a block of wood, unable to move even a finger.
"Witchcraft? No … No, it's another kind of curse power! "
Compared to Adams, Roger's adaptability was much faster.
Just as the scarlet light of the Voodoo was about to envelop him, a milky white holy light suddenly burst from his robe, with the power of purification, so that he did not lose the ability to fight at the first moment and become a captive.
"Charge!"
Seeing this scene, several knights immediately waved the giant swords in their hands and fiercely slashed at him.
They were all outstanding people who had been baptized with holy oil, and their strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. They waved the heavy giant swords like a windmill.
Crack!
Sawdust flew everywhere, and the wooden bed behind Adams suddenly broke into pieces. He rolled on the ground with unusual agility, jumped up suddenly, broke through the window, and escaped.
"Want to leave?"
The witch sneered. Her white jade-like palm flicked, and a dark green poisonous arrow flew out in pursuit.
"Voodoo Arrow!"
The dark green light flashed in the air, and immediately sank into Roger's back.
Bang!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the curses and screams of the soldiers outside rang out continuously.
"Hmm? He took my arrow head-on, and he's actually fine? "
The witch walked to the broken window, and suddenly saw Roger charging through the encirclement, looking very lively.
On the ground below, there was a pool of dark green blood.
"What do we do? My Lady, do we go after him? "
Seeing Roger break out of the encirclement and flee, a knight next to him immediately came forward to ask.
With their mobility, Roger wouldn't be able to run far.
"No need!"
The witch waved her hand, "After all, he's a priest, even if he's hiding his identity …"
She looked at the blood left on the ground, and her face showed a trace of a thoughtful expression, "Is this the legendary priest of a true god who has already transformed into a holy constitution? Unfortunately … my Voodoo Arrows aren't as simple as they seem … "
Compared to ordinary spells, Voodoo Spells were more inclined towards concealment and curses.
In the poison arrow just now, the witch had added a lot of personal characteristics to it, ensuring that it would be like maggots in one's bones, and it would not be easy to get rid of.
"For someone who trespassed into the kingdom with the intention of bribing the nobles and creating division, this is already a very light punishment!"
The witch turned around, "Let's go, let's go to the next place!"
She looked at the people of Jade Port who seemed to have panicked, and a trace of red flashed in her eyes, "These nobles have been rotten for too long, and have forgotten the taste of fear. We must teach them an unforgettable lesson!"
