Chapter 889 - 491: Magic Academy Admissions Director, Xue Dili

The purpose of Xue Dili is very simple, which is to borrow power.

He feels that ever since he obtained the unity authority of the God of Order, he’s been on the path of a debt king, never to return. Xue Dili feels that he can’t settle down peacefully anymore and can only rely on borrowing power to get by.

As for the source of borrowing power, former acquaintances, and most importantly... the World Consciousness!

Although this matter sounds a bit bizarre, the Venerable King is ultimately a cosmic miracle formed by the wishes of billions of stars. Therefore, borrowing power from the World Consciousness is roughly equivalent to borrowing power from the stars, and it can barely be considered as walking the path of the Venerable King.

The concept of the Venerable King’s path is actually that broad; basically, everything you consider as "doing good" can be associated with the Venerable King’s path.

As for whether this debt king will be chased for repayment after borrowing power... we’ll see... we’ll see...

Let’s borrow power first.

Thus, Xue Dili directly came over and kicked open the door of the World Consciousness, leaving the World Consciousness dumbfounded, as well as Old Undead Barak, who was essentially one with the World Consciousness, equally dumbfounded.

Xue Dili directly said, "Old Deng, I’ll leave the Teleportation Gate at your door, lend me some power, and I’ll return it after I defeat all the apostles."

Old Barak: "?"

World Consciousness: "?"

Xue Dili briefly explained his upcoming plan. He was quite familiar with the World Consciousness and Old Barak here, and didn’t need to be overly polite.

Thus, amidst Old Barak’s fury and disbelief, Xue Dili borrowed power once more.

[Protection of the Holy Light (B+): Gain the Protection of the Holy Light, increasing your affinity with all light attribute spiritual particles by 50%.

Cost: Light element spell magic power consumption increases by 50%.]

A protection with basically no side effects, equivalent to increasing the power and consumption of Light Magic by more than half, though Xue Dili seldom uses Light Magic now. It’s uncertain whether "Genesis" counts as Light Magic.

After all, the opening of "Genesis" is "Let there be light."

"Kid, why is there no movement on your side? Speaking of which, when are you planning to marry Alola?" the old man started yawning again. Just after receiving the power and securing investment, Xue Dili couldn’t refuse and said, "We’ll get married after I’ve killed all the apostles!"

Upon hearing Xue Dili’s promise, the old man’s expression turned favorable, and he said, "It’s a deal. I will definitely be there at that time, don’t play any tricks on me!"

Old Barak knows Xue Dili too well; he could predict what Xue Dili would do by his actions, and even a runaway wedding is something this guy would do.

"When have I ever deceived you? That’s it, not going to chat longer, bye! I have to rush to the next event." Xue Dili said directly.

Then Xue Dili left the World Consciousness site and arrived in the territory of the Imperial Capital.

Oh, by the way, now it’s no longer called the Imperial Capital; it’s called Angel City.

The Empire’s downfall, the last of the royal family, Leoric, was executed by the Church Court, dragged to the Vegetable Market, and the Empire’s last emperor was beheaded on the guillotine in front of all believers.

It is said that the guillotine used now was designed by this former royal grandson himself, but he did not expect that he would eventually die on his own designed guillotine, lamenting a lot.

Thus, the Empire and the last tens of thousands of world population were notified by the Church Court, starting rapid expansion.

In less than a year, the Church Court’s actual control area expanded from the remaining Imperial Capital to the size of Korea.

The expansion stopped because the population was insufficient, and because the learning conditions of the Holy Light were stringent, the number of Holy Knights couldn’t be increased, making this actual controlled area the current population limit.

We must wait for several generations’ population expansion to restore the world to its previous population numbers before it’s feasible to continue expanding.

To this world, it seems everything is a waste to be renewed.

Xue Dili originally planned to leave directly, but he saw that familiar church.

Actually, Xue Dili felt quite nostalgic coming back here; this place was the starting point of his extraordinary path, where he learned Imperial Swordsmanship and Holy Light Technique, though he only learned less than one-third, a half-baked speed course, but his initial extraordinary power came from the Holy Light and Imperial Swordsmanship of this world.

By the way, he also created a sword technique here, called Dragon Ascension!

Though when of low skill, the Dragon Ascension often missed.

Unknowingly, Xue Dili arrived at the Church Court’s gate.

The original old undead was sealed beneath this location, and at that time the gates were left only to those reciting the "Holy Scripture" while praying to the Church Court for food—those at the bottom.

After the Empire descended into chaos, the Church Court essentially monopolized grassroots control, leading to its smooth replacement of the Empire.

At this moment, there were no longer those refugees barely avoiding starvation at the Church Court entrance, because now population is the most precious resource, the Holy Knights cleared the surrounding undead, reclaiming extensive territories.

Those reclaimed lands need enough labor to farm, to cultivate, and after using the Holy Light to eliminate the undead, the resulting ash will be the most effective fertilizer, allowing crops to grow rapidly.
