Chapter 986: Chapter 413: Sword of Order_3

His movements were large, and his preaching efficiency was high. On the first day of preaching, he was noticed by the spies of the Bright Society.

The presence of the Eternal Light Sect in the Steam Phantom was too strong for the Bright Society to ignore. They followed the clues and discovered the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon, which led to White Wolf’s mission.

No wonder when speculating about White Wolf’s purpose, Wu Chang always felt the timeline didn’t match.

Given the difference in time flow rate between the Midnight Graveyard Plane and reality, the Peace Church shouldn’t have been able to react so decisively, sending people to follow into the dungeon.

Even based on the information from Han’er, the Peace Church connected with Wick earlier than he entered the Midnight Graveyard Plane.

If it’s a coincidence, then it aligns.

Aside from White Wolf’s coincidental actions this time, his resentment revealed a lot of information.

The first is the Imaginary Divinity within White Wolf. The Bright Society’s original plan was to have White Wolf incubate the divinity in the Desolate Realm, becoming a Lower-level God with power to operate as a dark piece in the World Dungeon.

Divinity is extremely precious to ordinary Realm of Reason players, but to the Bright Society, only high-level Imaginary Divinity holds value.

Imaginary divinity of Hati’s caliber is usually the leftover materials produced from failed creation of high-level Imaginary Divinity, and its ability is lesser than the native-born Seed of Famine in the Desolate Realm.

This level of Imaginary Divinity is not valued by the higher-ups of the Bright Society and considered not precious.

To fulfill the World Dungeon plan, the Bright Society likely prepared more than one Imaginary Divinity like Hati.

These dark pieces awakened as Lower-level Gods are difficult to directly threaten Wu Chang but have great destructive power against the Dungeon Plane, requiring vigilance.

Beyond the Bright Society’s plans, another matter in White Wolf’s resentment left a deep impression on Wu Chang.

This is the actions of the "Totem" organization in controlling countries.

It’s no exaggeration to say, in those countries, the Totem organization is the true ruler, similar to a feudal period ruler.

They can plunder wealth at will, experiment with skills on ordinary people, and choose thirty thousand people as sacrifices to initially awaken Hati Divinity.

In the Steam Phantom Dungeon, Wu Chang once thought Erin was always under protection, failing to see the rules governing the world, thus receiving a shock when seeing the life of Grimland’s lower-class.

But now it seems he was well protected by the Four Major Organizations, overestimating the moral baseline of the Transcendent.

When Painter caused chaos in Wanghai City, massively creating Wild Transcendents, he already felt the law and order were chaotic enough.

Yet, in areas beyond the control of the Four Major Organizations, especially where news cannot reach, rules in many places have long collapsed back to feudal periods or even slavery periods.

But it’s understandable, as many things are cost-effective to do in the real world.

In a True Dungeon, organizing a large-scale sacrifice of thirty thousand people could attract the attention of a hidden BOSS or the Evil God by stealing the BOSS’s role, failing the sacrifice and potentially risking one’s life.

In reality, however, even the Evil God cannot enter reality. As long as the Four Major Organizations are not provoked, the cost of the sacrifice is negligible.

In corners Wu Chang cannot see or would never look at, the impact of Transcendents on reality is far beyond Abyssal Erosion.

He sighed, knowing that what the frontline organization did was over the line, but he couldn’t do anything about it.

Those countries tolerate Transcendent organizations fundamentally because they provide shelter and remove Transcendent calamities for them.

If they are eliminated, who will do the work for these countries?

Would he step up?

Just ensuring peace in Wanghai City already divides much of his attention; he doesn’t have the time to manage those idle matters.

Wu Chang withdrew his gaze from White Wolf just as Han’er returned with his pants changed.

The miracle-guiding ceremony triggered by White Wolf and Wick was about to end.

Han’er first expressed his gratitude to Wu Chang and Erin for their actions and returned the Light of Steadfastness to Wu Chang.

With the disappearance of the miracle’s effect, his will can no longer carry the weight of the Light of Steadfastness.

Having smashed the moon himself, stopping the formation of the miracle-guiding ceremony, has almost exhausted all of Han’er’s strength; now even moving this Warhammer is formidable.

Putting down the Light of Steadfastness, Han’er walked to the church entrance where the ceremony’s node was, sat on the top stone step, and looked at the followers below.

The destruction of two central nodes liberated the followers participating in the consciousness from suffering, freeing them from being drained of life force and the Power of Faith, and all fainted onto the ground.

Wu Chang came behind Han’er and slowly asked, "Have you thought about what to do next?"

Becoming a Transcendent Gravekeeper is not something that can be achieved merely by words.

From obtaining White Wolf’s complete Hati Divinity and Wick’s personal sacrifice for the moon’s angle, they both failed.

But if viewed from the initial purpose of the miracle-guiding ceremony, "triggering a miracle," they succeeded.

Under the coercion of White Wolf and Wick, entering the followers of Sirena, they witnessed the repaired moon and Han’er smashing it again. To ordinary people, how is this not a miracle?

In this situation, to completely cut off the miracle, Han’er has only one course of action: eliminate witnesses.

Eliminate all followers who witnessed the miracle.

Han’er understood what Wu Chang meant. He looked at the fallen followers and subtly shook his head, saying:

"It should be me entering the Royal Tomb, not them. They still have a future."

"Reaching this point is enough; what happens next can be left to time."

Since the traces of this miracle cannot be erased, he can only hope history repeats itself. After two or three decades, the absence of miracles will once again cause a Transcendent decline.

No matter the result, it will no longer concern him.

Wu Chang said, "I believe this is a wise decision."

The miracle-guiding ceremony was disrupted quickly enough, at least eighty percent of the followers are still alive. Even without considering Han’er’s choice to eliminate witnesses, whether he could truly eliminate them cleanly, and whether elimination would indeed sever the Transcendent.

Even if he could truly achieve it, before he acts, he must first get past Erin.

"Though I can’t help you eliminate witnesses, I can help solve a problem so that today’s scenario won’t repeat in the future."

Han’er looked puzzled, but before he could ask, he felt the light and shadow shift before him, and when he regained consciousness, he had arrived within the ruins of the Soul Light Cathedral from an unknown ceremony node.

In the central node of the ruins was a large brazier.

The brazier before his eyes was once a sacred relic of the Soul Light Sect, which White Wolf used to enter the Midnight Graveyard Plane.

Erin stood before the brazier, drew out the Eternal Lake, and as she activated the Sword of Honor and Order, light from the Lake Light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

Then Erin swung downwards, splitting the brazier in two, along with it severing the connection between the Midnight Cemetery and the Peace Divine Kingdom.

Every remaining Soul Light Church on the Midnight Graveyard Plane, the statues in the churches, split in two like the brazier.

The followers directly praying to the statues simultaneously lifted their heads, looking at the shattered statues, showing confused expressions.

Strange, what is this flame-shaped eye? Why am I praying to it?
