Chapter 1008 - 309: Unreliable Saintess (Part 2)

He reflected on himself, feeling that if a normal human experienced such a battle, they would definitely feel intense discomfort, rather than extreme excitement like a climax.

A large number of souls were bound by him in chains, then slowly digested, becoming part of the power of his body.

The demons themselves are energy conglomerates that expand on their own and will continuously absorb surrounding energy to strengthen themselves, and the Celestial Calamity Demon is no exception.

With continuous battles, Luo Haodong’s own strength was rapidly improving, learning how to more skillfully use the power of this body.

In the end, the Demon Race discovered that they could not surpass the mountain that is Luo Haodong and could only retreat temporarily, with half of the hundreds of thousands of the demon army perishing here, and not a single demon touched the walls of Viduo City.

Seeing the demon army receding like a tide, cheers erupted from the walls of Viduo City.

Luo Haodong sat quietly outside the city walls, not thinking about entering, as in his current appearance he would surely frighten the people in the city, but he wasn’t idle either, as he set up a huge bonfire and a grill made of chains, roasting a giant demon elephant on it, constantly turning it, with the oil popping and the aroma even reaching inside the city.

"What is he doing?" a soldier on the wall exclaimed, puzzled by Luo Haodong’s actions.

"It seems... like he’s barbecuing."

They weren’t too surprised, after all, considering it was a creation of the Divine Spirit, barbecuing demons was quite normal.

Not surprised.

Not surprised.

The soldiers on the wall ran off to report, and upon hearing this, Takka also showed a strange expression, but still said, "That is the Divine Envoy, having a barbecue is normal, after fighting all day, shouldn’t he get some rest?"

"Is it normal?" The soldier could only reluctantly accept this explanation, and so they watched from the wall as Luo Haodong barbecued below, even sprinkling various spices on it, with the enticing aroma wafting upwards.

Of course, the spices were provided by Su Changxing.

That night, Takka led the people of Viduo City to once again worship the statue, dedicating their faith to thank the Divine Spirit for its grace.

The faith of the entire city converged at the statue, spiraling upwards and merging into the starry sky.

Though Viduo City was mostly made up of shallow believers, because the faith did not suffer any depletion during this process, it was all completely absorbed into Su Changxing’s pocket, and the amount was still quite considerable, roughly equivalent to 1/10 of Maelon.

The statue also underwent subtle changes during this process, gathering majesty and sanctity, appearing more lifelike, like a real god watching over the city.

In Su Changxing’s view, rather than saying the Pocket Galaxy contained a world, it is better to say the Pocket Galaxy itself is a lost Divine Country, capable of providing a vast amount of faith to its holder continuously.

A part of the demon offensive was miraculously repelled by Viduo City, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Empire.

Initially, many people doubted the authenticity of this news, even almost mistaking the messenger for a demon spy and beheading them.

Of course, such a blunder did not happen, as in a magic world, there is more than one channel for conveying messages, with information exchange being quite frequent, completely different from the ordinary cold weapon era.

After completing the worship, Takka found his apprentice, Linda, and said solemnly:

"I have already sent a letter to His Majesty, speaking about the matter of the God and establishing a religion in the Empire."

"Viduo City needs me now, I cannot leave, so this matter needs you to handle it for me, as the Saintess of the All Beings Sect."

Saintess!!!

Linda wasn’t sure when she became the Saintess of the All Beings Sect, perhaps just in some moment earlier.

She did not resist her teacher’s request, knowing they were doing the right thing, having proven the existence of the Divine Spirit and the ability to help them resist the demons, that was enough.

In front of the demon army, they were on the brink of life and death, so as long as they could survive, becoming followers of a god was no problem, as the mage’s creed itself was inclusive and had never said they couldn’t become believers of a god.

"No problem, should I leave now?" Linda nodded and asked.

Kata nodded, satisfied with his apprentice’s attitude, feeling his initial judgment was indeed correct, "Yes, leave now, first head to the Imperial Capital, persuade His Majesty in my name, convince those in the Imperial Capital, as soon as the Emperor and those ministers agree, the rest will be easy."

"Before leaving, let’s visit the statue together."

Actually, when he initially took Linda as an apprentice, it was because this apprentice talked relatively little and might be less troublesome.

Who knew, after becoming his apprentice, Linda became a complete chatterbox, able to chat with people all night if there was no other task, without even feeling tired.

This is probably because of the mage’s vast knowledge, providing plenty of topics to talk about, making it a form of communication.

The journey from here to the Imperial City doesn’t require much time, as the city has expensive Teleportation Arrays, opened at great expense each time, only able to teleport 1~2 people at a time, and only Great Mages or some Nobility have the right to use them.

However, even using the Teleportation Array, it doesn’t directly reach the Imperial City, requiring five or six intermediate hops and a fairly long walk to pass through the Light Day River.
