Although the enemy had been taken care of, the problem that was left behind was even more troublesome. The last sentence about us not necessarily being enemies was even more baffling.
The War God was a benevolent deity, at least from what Baiyi had seen so far. The War God did not have many followers. Only the Steppe Barbarians believed in his existence. Although the Church had learned of his existence through a few failed missionary campaigns, they did not turn him into an evil deity. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that he did not have a mature cult and had never shown his divinity to the masses.
What was the Godsfall cult? It was a classic example of a cult, a textbook example of evil. This kind of thing was supposed to be an enemy of the War God, but they had mistaken Baiyi for the War God's messenger, and they had even said such things. It was very strange.
What was even stranger was that the cult's creed clearly stated that they did not believe in God and even threatened to overthrow God. What did they take the War God for? Although the cult's creed was used to deceive the lower echelons and was completely untrustworthy, there was no need for them to say such contradictory words in front of an outsider.
In any case, be it because they were afraid of the mysterious War God or because they were afraid of Baiyi's strength, this huge evil cult had shown its goodwill to Baiyi. It could be considered as a kind of concession. As for whether Baiyi would accept it or not, that was another matter altogether.
Baiyi had no interest in the conflict between the Godsfall cult and the Church of God's Grace. After all, they were both his enemies. Even if they fought each other until their brains bled out, he would still applaud them. It was just that the Godsfall cult was too crazy and always wanted to deal with him. Moreover, he was currently on good terms with the Church, so he needed the Church's influence and propaganda power. For now, he was still slightly inclined towards the Church.
"Those words are not to be trusted. Don't let your guard down," the Shadow Walker reminded him. The Shadow Walker reminded him in the void. As a fallen former candidate for the Pope, she had a considerable understanding of such things.
"Of course not! Enemies a second ago, and now they're on good terms with each other? Do they think this is some kind of Japanese manga? " Baiyi said, amused. "Maybe this is just a smokescreen to make me lower my guard? I'm not that gullible, am I? "
"I mean, both sides are the same. The Church is not to be trusted either," the Shadow Walker added. "Also, you have to pay attention to Mia's safety. They might come after her in the future. If it's like today, I'm afraid a doll won't be able to protect her."
"I don't think they can organize an assassination like this for too many times," the Thane Walker suddenly interrupted. The Thane suddenly interrupted, "If they could just casually throw out a Holy Spirit to be an assassin, this organization would have long since unified the world. "Sir Shadow's warning is very reasonable of you. You have to be more careful in the future."
"Understood," Baiyi replied honestly. Even though he did not admit to it, his understanding of Godsfall and his level of vigilance towards them had undergone a drastic change. They were not an opponent that could be easily dealt with. In the future, he would have to be more careful when facing them.
"At the end of the day, I still need to have my own force. That way, many problems can be solved. The Archmage chimed in, "You have to speed up the construction of your academy. Now that Godsfall has shown weakness on the surface, the hidden threat has lessened. This is a good thing, isn't it?"
"Uh … Speaking of the academy, I suddenly realized that we seem to have overlooked a problem?" Baiyi suddenly stopped in his tracks and took out a communication slate from his storage pouch. It was the communication method he had left behind for his students. "We're fighting so fiercely here that they should be able to sense the shockwaves from afar. Why aren't those kids asking us anything? Are they all asleep? "
"Does that mean they don't really care about you?" The Holy Knight said.
"How is this possible?" Baiyi replied snappily. He fiddled with the communication tablet for a while, then waved it in his hand. "Weird? There's nothing wrong with the slate. It's operating normally, but why can't I contact them? "
"Something's not right …" Baiyi put away the slate and soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of Mia and the others.
However, even after flying for a long time, he still couldn't see the hill that he came from. Below him was still a desolate desert with no end in sight.
"An illusion labyrinth?" the Charlatan asked. "How is that possible? Whose illusions could have bewitched you? "
The so-called illusion maze literally meant that all kinds of illusions were used together to construct a common scene in supernatural tomb-raiding novels, trapping people in it and making it impossible for them to get out no matter how hard they tried. It was a kind of high-end illusion technique.
"No, this isn't an illusion labyrinth," the Explorer Walker said. The Explorer said. As a veteran grave robber, he had seen all kinds of illusory labyrinths in all kinds of forbidden tombs, but the situation Baiyi was in was different. He kept flying, and the scenery under his feet kept changing, but it did not repeat. This included the ups and downs of the terrain, and the distribution of the shrubs and plants. This meant that Baiyi was not spinning in circles, but flying forward all the time.
"Interesting," Baiyi said. "I've used my psychic energy to scan my surroundings, but I can't find any traces of illusions, and there are no suspicious vibrations. My consciousness outside the realm also shows that I'm still moving forward. I'm afraid this isn't an illusion. Although I'm still in this realm, it seems like I've entered a special space."
"Is the Godsfall cult up to something?" Lady Assassin Walker asked worriedly.
Baiyi shook his head. "Impossible. Those who came to kill me don't have what it takes, and neither does the mysterious First High Reverend. They might be able to come up with some tricks that defies common sense, but … "
With that said, he landed on the ground and bent down to pick up a pile of sand from the ground. He carefully rubbed it between his palms and observed it. He then casually plucked a leaf from an unknown shrub and carefully observed it in front of his eyes. Then, he continued, "These sand and shrubs are all real. This is a special space that exists within the realm, but it's also separate from the realm. This place is real, and the ability to create a space like this is beyond the scope of human power. This feels more like some sort of … Law? "
"Law?!" Many gasps echoed in the Void. The Scholar Walker's was the most obvious. "Why would such a strange Law be triggered in a place like this? This is just an ordinary, uninhabited realm. It's so inconspicuous that it couldn't be any more ordinary. "
"Ordinary? Perhaps? This place reminds me of the ancestors of the Alpine Barbarians, "Baiyi said, recalling his encounter with the Alpine Barbarians in Harrogath. They had once said that they were in a special place, a place where you could not see or sense them, but they could see you and impart their power to you.
"I can't believe there's such a place in such a small realm. It's not ordinary at all. Did you really stumble upon this place by chance?" The Archmage asked.
"Yes, I did!" Baiyi replied confidently. "Before I brought the children here, the consciousness I left outside the realm had been acting like a satellite. It scanned the entire realm several times, but it didn't find anything out of the ordinary. In fact, even when my real body came here, it still didn't find anything. Even the enemies I fought before, including the High Reverend of Godsfall, who had reincarnated into another body, didn't find anything. I'm starting to suspect that the thing that gave me that strange feeling was not the Godsfall cult's live broadcast, but this … "
"If I'm not mistaken, you had that feeling when you were about to use Void Energy, right? For convenience's sake, you didn't activate the barrier and just used Void Energy, right? "The Scholar asked." Could it be … that this is some sort of self-protection law of the realm? When something dangerous appears, it locks you up in a place like this? "
"Is it that scary?" Baiyi said with a bitter smile. "You have a point. The Void is an existence that is rejected by the world, and there's even a realm barrier that separates it from the outside world. So, it's not impossible that I'm trapped here because I suddenly used Void Energy, right?"
"It shouldn't be that serious. Don't forget, there are many ordinary people who have mastered Void Energy through various methods. This means that the realm's rejection of the Void is not that severe. Otherwise, these people would have been locked up here like you, instead of being captured by the Inquisition," the Paladin Walker said seriously, which was rare for him.
"Wait a minute! I seem to remember what this realm is, "the Astrologer suddenly said. The Astrologer suddenly said, "When I was studying the stars, I found that the stars were like a painting hanging in the sky. You could see them, but you could never touch them. Although each plane has a different starry sky, they seem to be infinitely vast, but they themselves are unchanging. It was because of this that I was sent to the Void Prison by the Magistrate."
"Don't you think it's similar to the realm you're in? After that, I studied other subjects, including theology, and finally, in the most common scripture of the Church, I found this passage: The place that God gazes upon is the realm of God, the realm that mortals cannot touch, infinitely majestic, infinitely vast. " The Astrologer went on to say, "At first, I thought it was just a very ordinary praise to God, but the words' infinitely vast 'left a very deep impression on me."
