Lu Sheng was definitely a true god. No one doubted that. But no one knew how strong he was.
"You're only talking about his current strength. What if we piss off the churches and a true god descends? The descent of a saint is no joke, "Scherr retorted coldly.
"Even if a True God were to descend and become a Saint, he would at most be able to unleash the power of a Demigod. Perhaps with the help of a Divine Artifact, he would be able to unleash the power of a Lower God for a short period of time. However, only a few existences with at least great Divine Power would be able to do that."
Out of all the lords, he was the one who was most willing to leave with Lu Sheng.
He was tired of staying in Hell for too long. He had been waiting for a chance to escape from Hell and the control of the Lord of Hell.
Lu Sheng's summon had given him the perfect opportunity to do so. Hence, in a half-forced, half-voluntary manner, it signed the contract and followed Lu Sheng.
"Don't you need a divine weapon, my lord? Let's snatch it! It's the fastest! In the main plane, we are now the true strongest beings. No one can defeat us! "Barnes shouted with a hint of fanaticism.
Lu Sheng tapped his fingers on the armrest. He was thinking.
He had been in this world for more than ten years. If he recklessly fought for the divine weapon, the gods would definitely join forces to suppress him due to the Abominations and other reasons.
Lu Sheng glanced at the Abominations beside him.
Due to the special technique he had created, these Abominations had completely recovered their intelligence. They were almost the representatives of the lords of Order.
They were the enemies of the gods. They were ridiculously strong and almost immortal. Originally, they could not unite, so the gods defeated them one by one. But now …
"Master." One of the Abominations stood up and said slowly, "We don't have complete confidence in fighting the gods, but if it's just a single god system, we might have a chance. At least in the main plane, as Barnes said, we are invincible. "
"So?"
"So, I suggest that we start with some Low-level Deities outside of the Divine System, or some Evil Gods." This Abomination was the powerful Abomination that Lu Sheng had first captured and subdued. He was the original owner of the Cursed Land, Enifers.
But after Lu Sheng's guidance, he was now accepted as a disciple by Lu Sheng and was taught the first nine levels of the Separation Devil Technique.
The Separation Devil Technique was a powerful technique that Lu Sheng had derived from the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way. Its greatest use was to separate the chaotic souls of Abominations and cut out everything that affected their minds.
The part that was cut off would be turned into a heart demon by the demonic art. It would wander around the cultivator uncontrollably. Once released, it would indiscriminately attack all other lifeforms around it.
This was also the main reason why Abominations could only act alone.
"Let's start with the other Lesser Gods first … That's still too early. I can start with the lesser gods." Although Lu Sheng wasn't afraid, it was still too early for him to go all-out against the gods.
Attacking Legends, Divine Domains, or even Demigods wasn't considered a serious matter.
But attacking a True God who had already raised his God Nation and condensed his Godhood was a provocation to the gods. The nature was completely different.
"That's suitable. I know the whereabouts of the lesser gods like the God of Sacrifice, the God of Forest Guardian, and the God of Relief Sculptures. I also know the location of their God Nations. "Barnes jumped out and continued.
"The God of Sacrifice?" Lu Sheng's interest was piqued.
"Yes, this one obtains the power of faith through sacrifices. However, the sacrifices are usually made by cultists who worship the Evil Gods. He can't interfere. So he's always been a lesser god. He's hanging there half dead, "Barnes explained.
"How does he obtain the power of faith?" Lu Sheng asked with interest.
"It's said that if you worship this one and offer him all kinds of treasures, you can obtain all kinds of temporary blessings. However, the price-performance ratio isn't very high. Most blessings aren't as good as arcane magic potions and equipment that can be exchanged with treasures. Hence, only travelers in the wilderness who have no other choice will make a few sacrifices when they're in urgent need of self-strengthening, "Barnes said with a smile.
'But the Sacrifice Priesthood isn't bad …' Lu Sheng stroked his chin. Since he had not found the seven-colored dragon, it should be good to get a god to play with first.
"From what I know, the God of Sacrifice has descended into the mortal world to spread his faith. He's trying to expand his church and influence," Barnes said with a smile.
"That's right. I'll make a trip there myself." Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
…
…
In a small town thousands of miles away from Dawn City.
The sky was gloomy and rainy. Occasionally, people would run across the town with their hands shielding their heads from the rain. The hooves of the cavalry's horses galloped in the rain, causing water to splash.
In the town's only church, Father Buddy was tidying up the teaching materials in front of him. The believers who came to pray had already left.
The monthly prayer ceremony was the most solemn activity in this unknown town.
There were not many believers, only about five or six of them. However, as a priest, Buddy continued to prepare the contents of the teaching materials seriously. He was prepared for the next prayer.
"Priest Buddy?" Suddenly, a tall and strong figure appeared at the church's entrance. The closed door was pulled halfway open.
"My god has blessed you. Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Buddy raised his head and asked with a calm expression.
Many people would choose to come to him alone when they had problems and troubles that were difficult to talk about. They would ask him for help after everyone else had left.
After all, he was a servant of the God of Sacrifice. As long as he sacrificed something, he could obtain some special blessings and status. Although the blessings were not permanent, for people with special needs, it was in line with their wishes to seek help once in a while.
The man entered the church and closed the door behind him.
Buddy finally got a good look at the man's appearance and physique. The man's features were handsome, and he had the calmness of a middle-aged man.
His physique was also strong. His bulging muscles were as hard as steel. His silhouette could be seen through his clothes. He could be compared to the barbarians in the highlands.
When he got closer, the man's expression turned gloomy.
"Priest, I would like to pray to the God of Sacrifice. I hope that I can exchange treasures for something I need."
"Young man, tell us your story. God will be watching you. If you can gain God's recognition, you will be able to exchange for something more generous with your sacrifice," Priest Buddy replied with a gentle and comforting voice.
The man's eyes were filled with confusion and unwillingness.
"More generous?"
"Yes. God is just and wise. He perceives everything. If he understands your pain, he'll respond to your request with kindness, "Buddy answered gently." You're right. You're right.
The man fell silent. Finally, he clenched his teeth and took out an exquisite ruby from his pocket. "Alright, I'll try offering a sacrifice first."
"Sure."
The priest led the man to the Sacrifice Hall at the side of the temple. He activated the formation, prayed, and proceeded according to the fixed procedure.
Soon, the ruby disappeared from the formation. A faint golden light pillar shone from the statue and landed on the man's body. It turned into a mysterious golden mark.
"The sacrifice is a success. God has heard your prayer and responded to you," Priest Buddy said in a gentle voice.
The man touched the golden mark. A shocked expression gradually appeared on his face. After thanking the priest profusely, he left the temple in a hurry and disappeared into the rain.
Buddy closed the door with a smile and went back to rest.
Initially, he thought that the matter was over. However, the man came again the next day.
"I failed …" He looked dejected, but his eyes did not lose hope. "Just a little more! Just a little more! "
"No! I still need to offer sacrifices! I want a stronger blessing! Stronger! I'll definitely succeed if I'm stronger! "The man seemed to be agitated. He took out a bunch of light blue natural crystals from his pocket.
"These, these are all for the sacrifice!"
Buddy gulped. The God of Sacrifice rewarded blessings according to the value of the treasures and wealth. With so many natural crystals, the blessings he received must be substantial.
At the very least, this was the first time he saw so many people offering sacrifices in one go in his ten years in the temple.
"Can I?! Can I offer sacrifices?! "The man grabbed Buddy's arm.
"Yes! You can do it!! "Buddy immediately reacted.
He quickly brought the man to the side hall. He activated the formation in the Sacrifice Hall, placed the sacrifices, and started praying.
"Right, what kind of blessing do you want?" Out of curiosity, Priest Buddy asked about the man's wish. He noticed that the power of the god's blessing that was bestowed yesterday had been completely depleted today. The rate at which it was consumed was really fast.
The man was silent for a while.
"You won't understand …" he said in a low voice.
Buddy smiled mysteriously. "That's not for sure. I won't understand if you don't tell me. However, if you tell me, I might be able to help you."
The man fell silent, as if he found it difficult to speak. His face revealed a conflicted and helpless expression.
"Say what you want to say. This is the temple. God is merciful and just. No matter what your wish is, God will listen to your prayers." Buddy's voice grew gentler.
"Re … Really?" The man's voice trembled slightly.
"Of course, of course it's true." Buddy nodded and revealed a warm smile that was as bright as the sun.
"I … I …" The man lowered his head. "I … I'm hungry!"
He suddenly grabbed the priest's hands. When he raised his head, his face was already covered in tears.
"Hungry?!" The priest was stunned.
"I've eaten demons, evil spirits, legends, demigods, I've eaten everything. Why … Why am I still not full?! … Be it alive or dead … Nutritious or not, I've tried everything, but I've never been full … Why, why?! "
The tears on the man's face gradually turned into a glowing, blood-red liquid. It dripped onto the ground and onto the sacrificial formation. It quickly melted into it and corroded the formation's faint golden light.
"That's why I think I must've eaten something wrong." The tears on the man's face quickly turned into two blood-red patterns.
The sorrow on his face gradually turned into a smile.
"You!?" Buddy's expression changed.
