"… I've seen too much death, then I'll choose the Holy Church of Mysteries" Jang Young-ho replied.
The figure of light spoke: 「 From now on, you are a follower of the God of Mysteries. You must travel from here to the Abyss of Divine War, then reach the Holy Church of Mysteries' cave to borrow the power of the Holy Church to awaken your Tree of Divinity 」
Saying so, the figure of light disappeared.
Jang Young-ho excitedly said: "Who would've thought I'd run into such a good thing, the chance to become a God is right in front of me. Seems like I'll have to hurry up and awaken that Tree of Divinity"
"Once I become a God, I'll truly be the God of Killers, hah!"
While he was in high spirits, he suddenly noticed that something wasn't right around him.
Turning around, he saw that all the beasts and monsters in the cave had completely ignored the figure of light in front of them and were staring straight at him.
Their eyes were full of surprise, confusion, doubt, respect, and various other emotions.
Jang Young-ho was completely stunned.
He took a step back and smiled: "Big shots, why are you all looking at me like that? I've been diligently serving you ever since I arrived, did I do something wrong? "
The green lizard stared closely at Jang Young-ho and spoke in a low voice: 「 No, it's mainly because everyone was so surprised that they wanted to look at you a bit more 」
「 That's right, after all, we won't be able to see you for a very long time 」 another black leopard chimed in.
"Why not?" Jang Young-ho asked in confusion.
「 Because this world of ours is located in the upper Northern region of the Strife Zones, it's basically the highest world in the Northern region 」 a hyena patiently explained.
Another chameleon followed up: 「 And the Abyss of Divine War — — this world is located in the Southern region of the Strife Zones, the publicly acknowledged world at the very bottom of the Strife Zones 」
「 That's why — – 」
「 You'll have to travel across the entire Strife Zones, a total of 200 million World Layers to reach the Abyss of Divine War 」
200 million World Layers!
Jang Young-ho froze.
The beasts didn't let him off the hook and continued to explain.
「 Although there are many Super Dimensional worlds, we are all beasts, we don't have any currency to exchange for a Super Dimensional pass 」
"Ying Hao, with your strength, you won't even be able to enter the chaotic void outside our world."
"Because the monsters in the Void Turbulence are not to be trifled with. You probably won't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are 200 million worlds. I'm afraid you'll have to travel for a very, very long time, Little Ying Hao."
As the beasts talked, they heard a "plop".
Jang Young-ho's legs gave way and he fell to his knees.
When the beasts saw the distress on Jang Young-ho's face, they felt a little sympathetic.
They did not continue.
But they all started to move.
— — Indeed, they had also chosen their own paths and were heading towards their respective Holy Churches.
It wasn't just this world. All living beings in the billions of worlds were also making preparations to head towards the seven Holy Churches.
Only in the shrine could the corresponding Tree of Divinity be activated!
That was the path to becoming a demigod!
Without a sound, the largest pilgrimage in the history of the Strife Zones had begun.
That day would be known as the beginning of the Age of Pilgrimage.
…
A certain World Layer.
In a dazzling and magnificent place.
This was a place where the crystallization of countless civilizations was gathered. The entire world was highly developed, with countless inventions and creations, even the difficult problem of eternal life was about to be solved — — the only problem was that in the current of history where the Apocalypse was approaching, no one seemed to be able to live forever.
This world was the world of the Spire of Civilization.
Numerous towers of various sizes stood here, each of them the crystallization and accumulation of a certain type of knowledge.
One of the seven Holy Churches, the Holy Church of Knowledge, was located here.
At this time, in the most luxurious hotel in the world.
A young ruler who had just arrived was hesitating and weighing her options.
A figure of light was also silently hovering in front of her.
"I was supposed to come here to strengthen myself, as well as do business with the Holy Church of Knowledge, why did such a thing happen?" she sighed.
"Your Majesty, this is the best chance, do you want to join our Holy Church?" a Bishop of the Holy Church asked.
"No, we're here to do business, if I join, what about business?" the young ruler replied.
"If you join our Holy Church, you will have the chance to become a demigod — — or even a True God!" another Bishop sincerely persuaded her.
This was the most sincere moment of his life, even when he was praying to God, he wasn't this sincere.
After all, as long as he could convince this Empress to join the Holy Church of Knowledge, he might even have a chance to become the next Pope!
"Forget it, I have my own path to walk. Not to mention, our race has never been afraid of any difficulties, and we don't need to become existences like God" the young Empress replied.
Saying so, she suddenly reached her hand into the void of space.
A sparkling gem appeared in her hand.
"Hm … a high-grade Elemental Gem, do you want this?" the Empress asked.
The two Bishops carefully held their breaths and carefully observed the gem.
An Elemental Gem contains the power of the essence of the elements, a single piece the size of a fingernail can provide enough energy to run an entire city for about a year.
The gem in the Empress' hand is almost as big as a fist, if we can buy it …
The two of them felt their hearts beating faster and couldn't help but gulp nervously.
Just as they were about to speak, a woman clad in battle armor spoke first.
The woman said: "Don't sell this, our world migration device will require this gem, as long as we have it, we won't need to change the energy source of the super-large-scale concealment spell caster every day for a short period of time"
"Whoa, that's quite convenient, then I won't sell it" the Empress replied.
She tossed the fist-sized gem to the woman and told her: "Ilya, I'll leave it to you to worry about traveling. After all, even though I've awakened my ability, I'm still not strong enough. If something goes wrong while traveling between worlds, my innate ability will only be able to save you alone, the others will only be able to die to the void monsters"
"Understood, your majesty Lola, I will carefully prepare everything" Ilya replied.
Lola nodded in satisfaction.
She then turned to the two Bishops of the Holy Church of Knowledge and spoke apologetically: "I'm sorry, but this thing probably can't be sold"
"How about — — -"
She reached her hand out again and touched the void of space.
"Ah? What a coincidence! "
Laura had a look of surprise on her face as she pulled out another item from the void of space.
— — it was another Elemental Gem, but this one was almost twice as big as the one before.
The two Bishops' eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
…
Outside the Novice world.
The space vortex.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the figure of light in front of her, then at the countless void monsters around her.
"Will becoming a believer help me resolve my current problem?" he asked.
Around him, the void monsters were also dealing with the figure of light.
But their problem will probably be resolved very soon.
At that time, it'll be dangerous.
The figure of light stayed silent and didn't answer Gu Qing Shan's question.
"Seems like it won't work" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
The figure of light replied: 「 Only by becoming a believer will you be able to receive my answer 」
「 You're nothing but the manifestation of the Laws, why are you so stubborn? Can't you just answer a small question of mine? 」
"…"
"Alright, I'll be — – hm — – how about I become a believer of the Holy Church of Life" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The figure of light then continued: 「 From now on, you are a believer of the God of Life. You must travel from here to the Sound Tree World, then reach the Great Tree where the Holy Church of Life is located, only then can you borrow the power of the Holy Church to awaken your Tree of Divinity 」
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Now that I'm a believer of God, please tell me, as a believer of God, how can I safely travel through the void?"
The figure of light replied: 「 Without the use of various vehicles and tools to conceal yourself, there is no way to safely travel through the space vortex of the Strife Zones. Although the void monsters around you aren't particularly strong, there are always some unique space vortexes that contain monsters that far surpass the strength of living beings. Some of these monsters aren't commonly seen, but their power is comparable to a Demigod — — or even stronger 」
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan pondered: "In other words, it's very easy for me to die if I'm exposed to the space vortex like this"
「 Your understanding of the answer is correct, please guarantee that you won't tell anyone else 」 the figure of light replied.
As it was about to leave, the man in front of it sighed and muttered in a low voice: "If I join the Holy Church, I won't even be able to travel freely, Divinities are truly weak …"
The man lightly tapped his forehead and decided: "If that's the case, I'll leave the Holy Church right now"
He abruptly looked up at the figure of light: "Right, I remember that there are only two punishments for leaving a Holy Church, the first is to never join a Church again, and the second is to be despised by the Gods, correct?"
The figure of light hesitated for a long while before answering: 「 Normally, I can only answer one of your questions, but since you want to leave as soon as you joined, this question is related to faith, so I have to tell you, yes! 」
「 If you leave the Church, you will not be able to join a Church for the rest of your life, you will also be despised by the seven Gods, and after your death, your soul will only be able to wander the endless void without a place to go 」
After saying so, the figure of light stared closely at the man in front of him.
The man said happily, "Then, I'll quit."
「 Aren't you afraid of being despised by the seven Gods? 」 the figure of light asked.
Gu Qing Shan squinted her eyes: "Despised by the seven Gods? Aren't they already dead? Let's talk about that after they come back to life "
