Chapter 987: Chapter 414: Lord Level Power of Root

After Erin’s sword sweep, the Soul Light Sect’s faith within the Midnight Cemetery Plane was completely severed.

No matter how devout the followers were, when they looked at Leman’s idol now, they couldn’t muster a sense of reverence.

"Item Skill: Sword of Honor and Order"

"Skill Description: A person of high moral integrity, possessing the Eternal Lake, will trigger a special status: Lake Light. When the target is damaging plane order, depending on the strength of the Lake Light, it will slay the disruptor and simultaneously restore part of the damaged order."

Entering the Midnight Cemetery Plane for cultivation, Wu Chang was delving into the Power of Mystical Root Source, while Erin was communicating with the Energy within the Eternal Lake.

Before, when communicating with the Holy Sword, she could feel the sword contained the Power of Rules.

Through these days of communication with the Holy Sword, Erin had already gained the recognition of the Eternal Lake, allowing her to merge her own Power of Order with the Order Correcting Force within the Eternal Lake, unleashing its true ability.

The sword strike that severed the Soul Light Sect’s faith was a manifestation of the Sword of Order’s restoration of order.

If something is deemed by the plane to be disrupting its original order, then in cutting it off, Erin would also eradicate the influence it brought.

Wu Chang couldn’t see the bewildered expressions of the Soul Light Sect’s followers after the severance of faith, but he could see the large clusters of ashes-like sparks wafting from the severed fire basin.

The sparks spiraled backward in the air, merging into the Eternal Lake sword’s blade.

With the integration of the sparks, the sword blade’s surface became even clearer, beginning to exhibit a texture akin to glass.

Erin caressed the sword blade, explaining to Wu Chang:

"The chaos has been restored, and the source of the chaos will transform into pure Power of Order, expelled by the plane itself."

"The Eternal Lake is absorbing this power and enhancing its essence through such energy."

Wu Chang looked at the Eternal Lake, thinking this sword was practically custom-made for Erin.

Not only do the abilities align, but even obtaining the energy needed for the item’s growth matches Erin’s style of action.

Wu Chang and Erin completed their cultivation, prevented the divine activation rituals of the Peace Church and the Bright Society, and severed the connection between the Midnight Cemetery Plane and the Soul Light Sect.

Their journey in the Midnight Cemetery Plane has concluded satisfactorily, and it’s time to leave.

Wu Chang said to Han’er:

"Just now, Erin severed the connection between the Soul Light Sect and this world, so you don’t have to worry about them using divine inspiration to lure others into summoning miracles like this time."

Han’er was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Wu Chang in disbelief.

There is a saying in the Mikel Kingdom that faith is stronger than steel, and firm belief can even lead followers to overcome the fear of death.

Yet Erin’s single strike at the fire basin could sever all the faith of the Soul Light Sect within the Mikel Kingdom?

For Han’er, this was beyond his comprehension.

But he knew Wu Chang wouldn’t need to deceive him, so he stood there for a moment and then bowed to Wu Chang and Erin, saying:

"Thank you, but I’m sorry; I have nothing else beyond these two words to express my gratitude."

Wu Chang nonchalantly said, "Don’t worry about it. Today’s troubles, one could say, were caused by us, and it’s only right we resolve them."

Hearing Wu Chang’s words, Han’er felt even more grateful.

He didn’t expect Wu Chang to take the blame onto himself to alleviate his psychological burden. Suddenly, he somewhat regretted that perhaps leaving the Mikel Kingdom to Wu Chang and Erin would have been better.

Wu Chang didn’t give Han’er much time to regret, saying:

"We’ve accomplished our goal of returning, and now we should go."

Han’er’s face showed a sense of loss, resembling an empty-nest elder hearing their children won’t come home for the holidays.

He forced a smile, saying, "Given your abilities, you must have more important matters to attend to, so it’s good to leave earlier."

Wu Chang sighed and said, "This farewell might mean we won’t meet again."

Han’er was aware of his own situation, feigning relief and jesting:

"That’s a good thing; it’s better to accomplish one last meeting while I can still fight, rather than lying in bed receiving your end-of-life care."

Wu Chang opened his mouth, unsure of how to continue.

Farewell phrases like "take care" or "until we meet again" seemed unfitting for the moment, even saying goodbye was hard.

Han’er turned around, waving his hand behind Wu Chang and Erin, walking alone towards his blue house, saying:

"As people age, goodbyes become harder. Let’s leave it at that."

Wu Chang and Erin exchanged a glance, choosing to leave the Midnight Cemetery Plane, returning to reality.

Back in their home in the real world, the first thing they did was to invest their consciousness into the Divine Kingdom. Through the roots beneath the Divine Kingdom, they could still feel the presence of the Midnight Cemetery Plane through the Power of Faith.

Wu Chang’s face showed a hint of regret as Erin’s Sword of Order could sever the connection between the plane and Leman, but it couldn’t break the connection between the plane and the Abyss.

Without detaching from the Abyss, sooner or later the extraordinary in the plane would resurrect.

It seems that merely correcting order is far from enough to escape the Abyss.

Wu Chang hadn’t had time to lament Han’er’s fate before he came to his senses, immediately directing his True Self towards Yanjing.

He must inform Hou Jingchuan about the Totem Organization as soon as possible and let the Four Major Organizations launch a purge against the Totem.
