Chapter 649 - 306: Starlight Church (Part 2)

But...

"I can communicate with the Star God."

Ye Mingqiu suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

The nun’s face changed drastically, not in surprise, but releasing an astonishing chill, as if the gentle girl was not her just moments ago.

She looked coldly at Ye Mingqiu and said, "The Star God resides high above the heavens and would never lay eyes upon non-believers. If you utter such lies again within the Starlight Church, I will not forgive you lightly."

"Follow me then."

Ye Mingqiu did not explain, instead heading directly towards the church doors, his steps firm.

"Hmm?"

The nun’s brow furrowed even tighter.

In this world, most people do not know the true nature of the Star God, but she knows, the Star God has been dead from the beginning. Therefore, the Star God could not lay eyes on mortals; unbelievers cannot communicate with the Star God.

However, the posture that fellow exhibited did not seem to be lying. He even wants me to step outside to witness... What exactly is going on?

After a brief hesitation, the nun reported the news through special channels and followed Ye Mingqiu out.

...

Church Square

Ye Mingqiu stood in a deserted corner, looked up at the sun in the sky, and murmured, "You must have heard some legends about the Star God, right?"

"What are you referring to?"

"The three wheels of sun and moon above the heavens are actually the eyes of the Star God observing the world."

"Hmm."

The nun responded.

The superficial myth is like this, but in fact, the real truth is, the three wheels of sun and moon are the transformations of the Star God’s eyes, the Star God is already dead.

What use is him saying this?

"Next, let’s witness the unique might of the Star God."

Ye Mingqiu closed his eyes, slowly spread his hands, as if embracing the world. The blazing radiant light of the Fiery Sun ignited from him, signaling the activation of the [Sequence-Fiery Sun] Talent.

Actually, using the sequence talent does not require such flashy foreplay, but for enough ritual sense, he chose to slightly alter the process.

[Fiery Sun Heaven]

Effect: After actively triggering the talent, awaken the Fiery Sun in the area, forcefully change the weather to Fiery Sun Heaven, can control the awakening degree.

Note: Continuous use of this ability will trigger world-level disaster, please use with caution.

"Star God, cast your gaze upon me."

Ye Mingqiu declared aloud.

Then, under the bewildered and uncertain gaze of the nun and other believers, the sun above the heavens suddenly blossomed with incredibly dazzling radiance, sacred and scorching rays fell to the ground, causing the temperature throughout the region to rise sharply.

The sun transformed from the Star God’s eyes lit up unprecedentedly, it burnt and the sacred scorching power seemed to want to ignite the entire world.

"What is...?"

The nun widened her eyes, looking at the nearly unbearable to look at dazzling Fiery Sun, her heart extremely shaken.

She once believed the Star God was dead, mortals at most could use certain methods to stimulate the Star God’s corpse, causing specific changes.

But this moment is different, Ye Mingqiu used no tools, and the Fiery Sun burning on him is unlikely the ability to awaken the Star God’s eye, human power definitely cannot awaken the Star God, because that is an already dead god.

But...

He did awaken the Star God’s eye!

Made the Eye of the Sun ignite!

What exactly is this, how did he do it, why can he do it?

Could it be...

He truly awakened the Star God’s consciousness, can communicate with the Star God? Has the Star God not completely died or is it due to another reason?

"Miracle!"

"Ah! It’s the Star God’s miracle!"

"I am being gazed upon by the Star God!"

....

Meanwhile, on the square the uninformed believers began kneeling to the sun, praying devoutly, eyes gleaming with brilliant light.

As the sun transformed into the Star God’s eye, casting gazes down at this place, it’s truly a miracle, completely enough to make believers obsessed and frenzied. The atmosphere on site increasingly heated, temperature rising higher and higher, as if wanting to melt the world.

And at this moment, Ye Mingqiu turned, his body slowly ascended towards the heavens, blazing radiant flame as bright as Fiery Sun erupted from him, looked back at the believers on the ground and spoke:

"The mortal world is too small and fragile, cannot withstand the mighty gaze of the Star God, even though His gaze on this world bears no malice, His gaze is enough to destroy all worldly things. The Star God loves the world and hence does not wish to cast His gaze down."

As his words ended, the radiant Fiery Sun in the sky also dimmed, the divine light of Fiery Sun Heaven gradually disappeared, but remnants of ultra-high temperature regions marked the surface, even several weaker believers already fell into brief unconsciousness.

The top layer of the church, Archbishop Augustine dressed in long robe trimmed with silver and gold stood by the window looking towards the square, his gaze no longer as benevolent as usual, an inadvertent flash of killing intent appeared at the bottom of his eyes.

Undeniably, that fellow indeed possesses the power of triggering the god corpse in some way.

However, he is not part of the Silent Council, doesn’t know the nature of the Star God, hence is unaware that driving the power of the god corpse amounts to consuming the world’s lifespan.

"Alas~"

Augustine sighed, suppressed the killing intent at the bottom of his eyes. Holding the Starlight Staff, he took one step from the church window, walked on the void descending towards Ye Mingqiu.

Here he comes?

Ye Mingqiu turned his eyes, possessing innate perception, he could surely sense a flash of killing intent from the Archbishop. This was within his expectations.

After all, the Star God is already dead, the current belief power is entirely insufficient to support His body in using such divine power, deploying Fiery Sun Heaven essentially involves forcibly consuming the dwindling strength of the Star God’s corpse, accelerating the world’s demise.

Therefore, regardless of whether Ye Mingqiu knows the world’s truth, he tangibly possesses the terrifying ability to lead the world to destruction.

But that’s not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is, as the world’s top strong figure, Archbishop Augustine could, under nor deliberately hidden strength by Ye Mingqiu, vaguely perceive the vast life force surging from him, recognize this fellow’s might, realize that he cannot be easily resolved.

If he truly plans to destroy the world, it would be extremely difficult to prevent, must handle properly.

Ye Mingqiu quietly activated perception.

[Augustine (Level 5 Dominator)]

[Tier: Tier Two]

[Life: 80000]

[Four-dimensional Attributes: Power: 760, Agility: 620, Constitution: 990, Spirit: 1320]

How powerful!

The primary attribute actually reaches 1300!

Undoubtedly, Archbishop Augustine possesses the power of an Over-Specification Dominator, given he is a Faith System strongman, and also cultivates based on the corpse of a deceased Star God, there’s a high probability of hidden [God] traits unexposed, far stronger than conventional dominators.

If this fellow is ruthless enough to exhaust the potential of the Star God’s corpse, it might be possible to wager to the level of top-tier [God] trait strongman.

Why is it a wager?

God corpse itself also bears danger, development difficulty extremely high, each development of god corpse is essentially gambling life, no one knows what will happen next.

This god corpse is like a bottomless treasure mountain that could explode at any moment for the faith-based strongmen.

"Devout believer, I represent the Starlight Church in welcoming your arrival." The Archbishop said with a smile.

"Can I join the Starlight Church?"

"Of course you can. You are a divinely favored individual who can make the Star God cast His gaze, the Star God is our revered deity whom we worship, how could we not accept you?" Archbishop Augustine answer amiably.

"But I have no identity."

Ye Mingqiu said simply and directly, he hopes not to cause trouble because of this in the future.

"No matter, from today onwards, you are the Saint Heir of the Starlight Church, I will personally lead you on the right path." Archbishop Augustine still smiled, his smile unchanged.

"Alright."

Ye Mingqiu nodded, simultaneously sensing a slight killing intent originating from the Archbishop.

[Already joined the Starlight Church]

[Current position: Saint Heir]

[Submit task immediately? Yes/No]

"...Yes."

Ye Mingqiu pondered briefly and ultimately chose to submit.

Although he could elevate his position in the following two days, strive for higher task rewards, the issue here is, consuming more time would inherently lower the task’s rating, whether it’s gain or loss isn’t certain.

Submitting early ensures no loss, and allows seeing the next phase of task targets, subsequently making arrangements sooner and faster, evidently more stable.

[Notice: Main Task - First Phase - Entry Completed]

[Task Completion: 400%]

[Task rewards granted, acquired 3 Free Attribute Points, 1 Soul Fragment]
