Chapter 655 - 309: Assessment! Apocalypse Cataclysm! (Part 2)

If Ye Mingqiu guessed correctly, it’s most likely a Tier Four or even Tier Five divine marrow, much stronger than the divine blood absorbed by the Blood Spear before.

Time passed slowly, and Zhen Yue’s mood was extremely tense. He felt that Ye Mingqiu’s status at this moment was probably unstable, and it was unlikely that he could help him in such a place; he had to rely on himself.

After all, everyone is a Spiritualist, and who doesn’t know how difficult it is to join the Church!

"Sajia."

Ye Mingqiu suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

Sister Sajia responded immediately, her body trembling slightly, feeling a bit nervous.

When the Lord of the Fierce Sun arrived, she and the Archbishop had already realized that the other party’s purpose was not simple. Perhaps the Lord of the Fierce Sun was taking advantage of the disaster, aiming to become the second Supreme God after the Star God, and He didn’t seem to hide this intention.

His actions were simple and direct, announcing his intentions to the Starlight Church was already a gesture of courtesy.

He could have directly dealt with the disaster and grabbed the faith through His power, but the Lord of the Fierce Sun did not do so. He came to the Starlight Church to share His thoughts and ideas with the Church’s congregation, giving them a choice.

Indeed!

He was giving the Starlight Church an opportunity!

From the moment the identity of the Lord of the Fierce Sun was confirmed in the eyes of the Starlight Church, they had to make a choice.

Whether to solve the disaster with their own power, with the power of the Lord of the Fierce Sun, or through Otherworldly travelers, with different ways of solving it potentially leading to different outcomes, they had to choose carefully.

Letting the Lord of the Fierce Sun interact with travelers from the Otherworld was essentially to gauge His attitude towards them and whether He could accept others solving the disaster.

After all, for the Lord of the Fierce Sun, who possesses great power, the disaster is also an achievement and a great work, which can be transformed into a source of faith rather than purely negative.

"..."

Ye Mingqiu watched Sajia, her reaction without hostility + tension already explained the situation. She was indeed there to probe, but not in the way he had imagined; rather, to gauge his acceptance of the Starlight Church using Otherworldly travelers.

He gradually revealed a gentle, natural smile, speaking with utmost composure: "What do you think."

"I abide by the choice of the Revered God."

Sajia lowered her head, saying.

"Revered God?"

Zhen Yue’s pupils dilated across. He really couldn’t understand how Ye Mingqiu became a Revered God after just half a day, and his status within the Church....seemed higher than he imagined?

"Hahaha!"

Ye Mingqiu suddenly laughed, very joyfully and heartily. He said, "Do you think I would care about these little thoughts of yours?"

"Aren’t you underestimating me a bit too much?"

"This is almost like a provocation."

His voice grew colder, and an increasingly terrifying aura began to emanate from him. Sajia’s heart couldn’t help but race, as she realized her mistake.

Indeed!

He is the Lord of the Fierce Sun! He is a God!

The mindset I have adopted has always been that among humans. If the other also thinks with a human mindset, then everything I’ve done would not be a problem. But if He is a Divinity.... everything I do now becomes a provocation.

I was wrong!

Wrong to measure a God by human standards!

"Since you want a sense of security and need a secondary guarantee, I’ll give you security, let you have more assurance, but..."

Ye Mingqiu’s tone shifted, his slightly squinted eyes emitting a gleam as cold and murderous as having destroyed countless worlds. His sharp gaze pierced Sajia like a myriad of arrows as he continued, "I don’t want to see such low-level provocations again, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Sajia immediately lowered her head and answered.

"Mm."

Ye Mingqiu turned his head, looking at the opposite Zhen Yue, once again wearing a warm smile on his face, and continued, "You made a good point earlier, this world is indeed very dangerous, so... you’ve passed our assessment, you lucky little fellow."

"Tha...Thank you..."

Zhen Yue’s voice was a bit dry.

At this moment, he finally realized, Ye Mingqiu coming to the Starlight Church, he wasn’t here to play the subordinate or a worker; he was here to act as a patriarch.

Considering the current situation, the Divine Monarch’s status seems to be very high, and not in the usual way; his existence appears extraordinarily special to the entire Starlight Church, being absurdly powerful and unique.

From the earlier conversation, it was not hard to see that the little thoughts of the Starlight Church were probably not malicious tests, just to see his attitude, but even so, it would still be seen as a provocation.

This was already outrageously bold!

"Goodbye."

Ye Mingqiu stood up, walked to the door, casually glanced at Sajia behind him, and said, "The rest, you settle it yourself, I have to continue reading, I have no time for such trivial matters... oh, by the way, remember to refill my tea."

"Yes."

....

Returning to his exclusive room in the Church, Ye Mingqiu once again opened a book and continued learning. The more he understood the specific situation of the Divine Fossil World, the stronger his urgency to learn became. Once the divine marrow disaster fully erupted, learning would become very troublesome.

"Ding!"

At the same time, news came from the world channel.

--- World Channel ---

Old Hei: This is troublesome, the situation of this world is worse than I imagined.

Fang Pei: ?

Fang Pei: What happened again?

Old Hei: The landing of the divine marrow activated the originally dormant Divine Fungus, black fungus spreading outward centered on the Abyss with great speed.

Old Hei: People who come into contact will have their skin immediately ulcerate, suffer spirit mutations, turning into "Marrow Monsters."

Old Hei: Not only that, Divine Fungus will also erode the earth, absorb energy from the soil, causing massive crop failure, water source pollution, and possibly forming a forbidden zone full of Divine Fungus.

Fang Pei: What is Divine Fungus?

Old Hei: In simple terms, it’s the fungal growths that fell from the Star God when they fell, common like air in the High Tier World, causing no real harm there, but here in the Low Tier World, Divine Fungus can cause extremely terrifying Destruction.

Old Hei: Simply put, the Divine Fossil has started to mold and is naturally degrading now, but the problem is that the entire world’s land originates from the Divine Fossil. Just imagine what happens once the Divine Fossil molds and degrades?

Old Hei: This situation is too terrible!

Divine Monarch: Then why wasn’t there a problem before? Does divine marrow have such a function?

Old Hei: The energy in the Low-Tier World was too scarce, and the Divine Fungus didn’t have enough energy to proliferate, while the state of the Divine Fossil was relatively stable and difficult to erode by the Divine Fungus.

Old Hei: But now it’s different; the Divine Fossil has gradually decayed, so its resistance to the Divine Fungus has dramatically weakened. The energy during the descent of the divine marrow activated the Divine Fungus, and so it turned into what it is now.

Divine Monarch: Is there a solution currently?

Old Hei: No way, currently the top-level powerful beings of the Starlight Church can only suppress the spread, not eliminate it, after all, Divine Fungus comes from a High Tier World, so terrifying even without consciousness when facing the lives of a Low Tier World.

Zhen Yue: Tsk, stuck on both ends, now when they use Faith Power it would consume the energy of the Divine Fossil itself, accelerating the world’s demise, and if they don’t use Faith Power to suppress, then the world will rapidly perish.

Zhen Yue: I feel there’s no salvation, this bunch of natives can’t possibly defeat this apocalyptic disaster, even with our help, I’m afraid we can’t change the world, right?

Old Hei: Not necessarily, because the Spirit Realm chose us, brought us here, and didn’t summon us through an emergency convocation format, indicating that in Spirit Realm’s calculations, we are capable of completing the main storyline task, it’s just a bit more difficult.

Fang Pei: Are you sure it’s only a bit more difficult?

Old Hei: Possibly.

Zhen Yue: I’m quite sure because we have a big dad in our team, now he’s in the Starlight Church being a patron, the core to completing this task should lie in this big dad.

Zhen Yue: Next, we just have to follow his tasks and judgments, avoiding messing around, we should be able to pass smoothly.

Fang Pei: So sure about that?

Old Hei: If it were really that hard, the Spirit Realm would have arranged it as an emergency convocation, since it’s not, that means the problem isn’t big yet, at least for us.

Zhen Yue: @Divine Monarch, buddy, if there’s anything you need, just command in the world channel, we’ll ensure task completion.

Divine Monarch: Alright, organize and send me the disaster origin, specific range, and the speed of advance.

Old Hei: Alrighty!
