There were many powerful organizations in this world.
For example, the Millennial Empire, the Wizard Association, the Knight Alliance, the Hunter Guild, etc., all of them had a long history and strength.
The conflict between the Holy City and the Grassland had attracted the attention of every organization from the very beginning.
For a God to resurrect a Beast King is indeed a miracle.
But the Beast King and the Great Tribal Chief betrayed humanity's God in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was waiting to see what God would do next.
Because reliable information showed that God was only 4 years old when he was reincarnated as a human male, so his power was very limited.
And then.
What happened next was the 'Divine Retribution' that caused everyone to tremble.
At the edge of the Grassland.
Two Cardinals of the Divine Church were leading a large group of clergymen to record the specifics of this Divine Retribution.
Their heads were lowered, their expressions were calm and humble, their movements were professional and experienced, they even voluntarily gave way to people who weren't members of the Church and prayed for God to protect them.
Although the attitude of the Church members had changed, becoming more pragmatic, compared to their previous blind and arrogant attitude, their current attitude was more thought-provoking.
The organizations of the Church stood outside the Grassland, silently watching these clergymen record the Divine Retribution.
A wizard with a head full of white hair leaned on his staff and let out a long sigh.
"Sir, why are you sighing?"
Next to him, a knight in full armor with a greatsword asked.
"I couldn't help it" the white-haired wizard replied.
The knight mocked him: "You should control your emotions well, after all, your every move will be interpreted by everyone as the entire Wizard Association"
The white-haired wizard smiled bitterly: "I don't have a helmet as big as yours that can perfectly hide my face"
At this point, a voice came:
"What are you two talking about?"
A nimble figure in leather armor with a bow on his back suddenly appeared next to the two of them.
The Hunter Guild's master also arrived.
The white-haired wizard replied: "We were talking about how to control our expressions when facing the Divine Retribution"
"Ah, so that's what it is, it really is very difficult" the Hunter Guild's master agreed.
The three of them looked towards the grassland and fell silent.
The solid ground only extended as far as their feet. In front of them was nothing but endless emptiness and emptiness.
They were standing on flat ground, but it felt like they were standing on top of a bottomless cliff.
In front of them, the originally endless grassland was completely destroyed by the might of the Divine Retribution.
The entire grassland became a sinkhole.
The sinkhole was so vast that any professional standing in front of it couldn't help but feel a sense of vastness and insignificance.
This sinkhole was so deep that one couldn't see the bottom at a glance. If one really wanted to reach the bottom, they would have to spend an entire day.
Just as the three of them were silent, a middle-aged man riding a horse slowly approached them.
He didn't dismount from his horse and only gave a slight nod to the three.
The three of them nodded in response.
"What do you think?" the middle-aged man asked.
The knight and the hunter looked at the white-haired wizard.
Sorcerers did not believe in the creation of the world. Sorcerers liked to explore the laws of all things and wanted to understand the truth of all things.
The white-haired wizard looked at the sinkhole, his face full of exhaustion. "In the face of the power of the gods, magic is too weak. I need to think about it."
The middle-aged man looked at the Knight and Hunter.
"If the human race can prosper from here on and all evil is repelled, I'm willing to believe in God" the knight said.
The hunter said: "We often wander on the edge of life and death, if there is a safe place to go after death, that would be good too."
The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. "What about you?" the hunter called out from behind him.
The middle-aged man greeted the three of them: "The day after tomorrow, I will ask the pope to build the first church in my empire's capital. If you're willing to attend the ceremony, come find me at the capital"
He controlled his horse and left in front of the three of them.
The horse was moving faster and faster as it went further and further away.
The Hunter and the Knight exchanged glances with each other before they moved and followed behind.
Only the white-haired wizard was left standing still, staring blankly at the bottomless sinkhole. …
At another location.
The Holy City of the Divine Church.
In a garden.
The four-year-old Gu Qing Shan was talking to her mother.
"Because I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it, I brought all of the servants from home. The layout of this place is similar to our home, only a bit bigger"
"Very well"
"If you miss your relatives and friends back home, I can have them come visit you at any time. If you want to go back, you can go at any time, just tell the Divine Servants"
"Hm, child, you're very considerate, but I have a question that I can't help but ask …"
"Please ask"
"Aaron, are you really a God?" her mother asked in a scared voice.
Gu Qing Shan held her mother's hand and smiled: "In terms of ability, I might be able to surpass the imagination of living beings and could be considered a true God, but if we ignore ability, I'm still a normal person"
"Is that so? In other words, you've always been my child? "
"That's right, don't worry, father's corpse has been found, it will be transported back to the Holy City in a few days"
"You mean …"
"I will resurrect him"
…
Gu Qing Shan was focused on her cultivation in the Holy City, staying in seclusion without leaving.
In the blink of an eye, 10 years had passed.
Besides the Wizarding Association, most of the world's forces had submitted to the Divine Church.
At first, some people were worried that the Church would eliminate all the other forces, take control of the country, and plunder their wealth.
But none of that happened.
Besides preaching, the Church didn't interfere with the internal operations of any force.
Not even the Wizarding Association was pressured by the Church.
Regarding this, God only said a single sentence.
This sentence was revered by the entire world as the voice of guidance:
"Nothing on earth is worth it, because all living beings will die for a very long time, only after death will there be eternity, so you must believe in God, do good deeds, accumulate Merit, this is the only thing in your short lives that can decide where you belong after death"
There were fewer and fewer wars and crimes in the world.
That's right, we only have so little time to live, why do we have to commit crimes for the sake of illusory things?
The age of prosperity had arrived.
Following that, with the support of God, the Church did a single thing.
— — -establishing an intelligence gathering organization across the entire world.
After 10 years of development, coupled with people's faith in God and the Church, this intelligence gathering organization was now able to grasp any abnormal occurrences in the world.
This was as far as Gu Qing Shan's organization of the mortal world was concerned, and he didn't continue any further.
For the rest of his time, he cultivated while silently paying attention to the world's development.
The world spirit gave him 100 years before.
This meant that the collapse and destruction of the world would be a very long process.
The only thing Gu Qing Shan could do now was to silently wait for the destruction to begin.
Just like that, another 11 years passed.
Finally, that day came.
As soon as it happened, it caused the entire Southern world to become restless.
The intelligence gathering organizations across the world had been operating strictly according to God's orders, so they quickly reported this to the Holy City.
At the time, Gu Qing Shan had just come out from the secret room.
His entire body was soaked in sweat, so he accepted the towel Shannu gave him to wipe his sweat.
"Is everything going smoothly?" Shannu asked caringly.
"Hm, the first stage of the Living Being Sacrificial Dance is getting smoother and smoother, I think it won't be long before I can learn the second stage, the Living Being Sacrificial Dance" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Shannu teased him: "It's fortunate that gongzi made this secret room, otherwise, if other people saw the God dance like that, all of their piety would disappear without a trace"
"Let's not talk about that, right, where's Luo Bingli?"
"She went shopping — — gongzi, both she and I like this world"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said nothing.
That's right.
Unlimited gold.
Unparalleled authority.
Anyone would love it.
Not to mention, this was a miraculous world of magic, there were things that even he found to be eye-opening.
However, Shannu and Luo Bingli had been working so hard with him, so it was also Gu Qing Shan's own wish to let them relax a bit during this illusion.
The Chao Yin sword went to play in the lake outside the Holy City.
As for the Earth sword, it was probably injured right after it was forged so it couldn't manifest.
It had always been by Gu Qing Shan's side, never leaving.
At this point, a cardinal came forward, knelt on one knee, and presented a sealed letter to Gu Qing Shan.
"My Lord, this is a strange incident that happened at the Southern end of the world today"
"Very well"
The letter flew into Gu Qing Shan's hand.
The cardinal bowed, didn't dare to look up at Shannu, and silently left.
Gu Qing Shan opened the letter and seriously read it.
His eyebrows scrunched up.
"Gongzi, what's the matter?" Shannu asked.
"Without a doubt, this incident is very strange, but it's giving me a very familiar feeling"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan gave the letter to Shannu.
Reading it, Shannu saw that it was about what happened in a faraway mountain town at the Southern end of the world.
A strange sacrificial ritual happened in the town.
All the townspeople were dead, their flesh and blood were all gone, leaving only skeletons in the town.
According to the merchants who just left the town, a black light enveloped the town, followed by countless desperate screams of despair.
The entire process happened so suddenly that it only lasted for a few breaths' worth of time before everyone died.
Only a child who went out to look after goats managed to escape.
When he was discovered, he was still sleeping in a bush on top of the mountain.
"Sacrificial ritual?"
Shannu was a bit surprised.
Ever since Gu Qing Shan descended into this world as a Divinity, she had strictly forbidden the use of human sacrifices to worship the Divinity.
The beast race that liked to use this method had already gone extinct.
In a world with Divinities, doing something that was strictly forbidden by Divinities was already very unusual.
Then, just what kind of person would do such a thing?
Gu Qing Shan shook his head and began to issue his orders.
He spoke to the void of space: "The Southern Empire is to immediately begin searching for any clues related to this incident"
"All Paladins are to move to the South, where the incident happened"
"The Cardinal of the Grand Secretariat is to stand guard outside of the Holy Church, all cardinals are to follow the Pope to investigate the situation"
Immediately, the entire Holy City began to move!
Shannu couldn't help but ask: "Gongzi, you seem to be taking this matter very seriously"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and admitted it: "Fortunately, I've already tightly grasped this world in my hands, no anomalies can escape my control, and the various organizations are all under my control, so I can quickly deal with this matter"
He looked like he was getting serious.
"Gongzi means …"
