As soon as the sunlight disappeared, the air started to turn cold.
Ye Chang finally noticed she was still wearing a man's old jacket as she walked down the street. It was still warm.
She approached a dimly lit church. She took off her jacket and tossed it into the trash can.
The wooden door of the church slammed shut. The sky was completely dark. The eerie candles were lit up on the eaves of the church, but they could only illuminate a limited area.
There were almost no residents here, nor were there any tourists. It was quiet beside the busy streets of London. It felt like another mysterious world.
Inside the church, the rows of old wooden benches were empty.
She walked down the aisle and faced the statue of Jesus.
"Tell me what happened in the past half a month," she said to the air.
"On Disciples' Day, Su Lengyi killed Ding Na and became the Head Priest."
"Seven days ago, a bloodbath took place in the Asian Magic Association in Dubai. A bunch of great scholars were murdered, leaving obvious evidence behind."
In the church, the ghostly voice spoke in a strange tone.
"What evidence?" Salan asked.
"Evidence that points to us. The deacons of the Magic Association have reported that the incident might be a conspiracy by the higher-ups of the Asian Magic Association. They are trying to frame us to confuse the Holy Judgment Court and the Sacred City, "the ghostly voice said.
"There's no conspiracy about creativity. Look at the people who died, "Salan said with a cold grin.
"A bunch of old scammers who claim to be able to revolutionize magic," the ghostly voice said.
"If they are scammers, why kill them? The Magic Association needs a bunch of scammers like them, so the world will know they are working hard to create magic, but they are actually just trying to control it," Salan said.
"I don't know about that."
"Give me a copy of the list of people who died. Ask the deacon of the Mage Tower in Dubai to investigate further. Give me a new identity, and I will be able to enter the Asian Magic Association freely."
"Sure, but there's something I don't understand," the ghostly voice said in confusion.
"Speak."
"Is the Supreme Pontiff really dead?" the ghostly voice asked.
"The person in St. Paul's Cathedral is dead. No one knows who the Supreme Pontiff is anymore. If I say he's dead, he's dead. "
"But what if the Supreme Pontiff showed up in person?"
"What's the difference between him and being dead?" Salan said.
"Your Excellency, God," Spectre said.
A strange cold wind blew past, and the old church fell silent.
Salan raised her head and gazed at the crucifixion.
After a long time, she walked out of the old church and locked the wooden door again.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw the old jacket. It was still on top of the trash can. The mouth of the trash can was a little narrow, so it didn't fall in.
After a long time, Salan walked towards the trash can.
…

Zhuhai City
Waves roiled. On the grey sea surface, a man was riding the wind and breaking the waves, and he was like an Independent Immortal that had returned from his travels. How could he be described as suave?
The Magicians on the shore cheered. It had been a long time since they had even lost the courage to look at the sea, let alone welcome the return of a hero.
"Senior, the Thunder Flood Dragon was killed?"
"Well, you guys start a fire. I'll treat you guys to grilled eel. Who's the chef?" Mofan asked with a smile.
Everyone was stunned as they looked behind Mofan.
An Ash Wolf Emperor with jade-green fur was galloping on the waves. It was biting its long tail and dragging something to the shore.
The owner of the tail was shockingly huge. The water kept churning.
Even though it had turned into a corpse with thousands of holes, it still shocked everyone when it was thrown onto the shore.
"Huh? It's really grilled! "
"Of course, it's such a waste not to use such a good ingredient. Besides, it's good for nourishment for women, and good for strengthening the kidneys for men," Mofan said with great experience.
"… Senior is such a hero. You chopped down the evil Thunder Flood Dragon without bringing a single soldier," the leader of the Magicians on Zhuhai said.
"What flood dragon, it's just a huge monster eel. A real flood dragon doesn't have claws. In terms of strength, it's not worthy of the name," Mofan said disdainfully.
"That eel doesn't have claws either."
"Sigh, I don't care what it is. Anyway, the taste is really good. Let's try it together," Mofan said.
"Oh, right, senior. I heard that the meat of these high-level sea monsters is specially processed and given to the children who are still growing. It can strengthen their physiques by a few times, "the leader of the Magicians on Zhuhai said.
"Yeah, I heard about it too. Apparently, not only will the children's strength increase greatly after eating it, their muscles will also be as hard as rocks!" another old Magician said.
"Oh? It seems like these are really good stuff. I shouldn't waste them so easily. Let's have a taste first, and give the rest to the school. Who knows, maybe one of us humans will awaken some kind of herculean strength, "Mofan said with a smile.
The physiques of humans were too weak. Even a Magician would have a huge difference compared to a demon beast of the same level.
When could humans awaken their strength? They could punch a flood dragon in the sea and kick an old monster in the demon mountain. Perhaps it would really usher in a new era!
…
"How is it, do we have a Totem Seal?" Ling Ling asked excitedly.
Mofan shook his head and said, "It's just an eel monster. However, the claws it evolved are a little strange."
"You've collected enough information, I'll analyze it. By the way, there's a message for you from the Canton Tower. You should pay it a visit. It seems like it's something important, "Ling Ling said.
Ling Ling observed the claws of the lightning serpent carefully.
Dragons did not have claws, at least according to the legends, but the claws it had evolved were very similar to a Totem Seal.
Seeing the actual thing and seeing a picture were two different things, as the claws still had scales on them. The patterns on the scales were very interesting.
…
After returning to Guangzhou, Ling Ling focused on studying the complicated Totem Seals, the succession, and the evolution of the Totem Seals.
However, to Ling Ling's surprise, even though the eel monster was not a Totem Beast, it was indeed related to the Totem Beasts. The claws it left behind gave Ling Ling a great hint.
Most importantly, Ling Ling had found the Totem Beast that was related to the eel monster!
Hangzhou, the island in the middle of the lake, on the wall of the ancient pavilion, there was an enormous snake above the Black Totem Snake. The scales on its body were very similar to the Totem Beast's claws!
Ling Ling was extremely excited. They had finally found something important. They had no idea what the World Serpent that was a few times bigger than the Black Totem Snake on the wall was. Now, they finally had a clue!
It must be one of the strongest Totem Beasts in ancient times!
