Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

"Now, immediately open the gate to the Sun Plaza and purify all the filth in this world."

Chen Xi turned around, facing Chen Ye and Bai Chen, and spoke.

This sacrificial gate needs to remain open to allow the boundless radiance of all living beings to enter the interior of the Sun Chapel, and then shine outwards through each brick and tile, obliterating all the red-skinned zombies outside.

The crowd stepped forward, stood at the entrance to the sacrificial gate, and opened it.

next second.

Countless red-skinned zombies surged in from the entrance and stormed into the church.

However, several rays of brilliant sunlight transformed into endless, suffocating destruction.

Slay all the countless red-skinned zombies!

at the same time.

Above the blood-red sky, the blood-red clouds were suddenly torn apart by a golden ray, revealing a ray of intense sunlight that shone down!

As this golden light flowed into the Church of the Blazing Sun.

The endless souls of the dead were all purified by this blazing sun!
The golden light shining from the horizon shone directly onto the blood-red heart.

The black viscous fluid constantly secreted by the blood-red heart began to dissolve instantly under the eternal, blazing sunlight.

The blood-red heart began to crumble.

Finally, it turned into a pool of blood, dissolving into the crimson earth, and eventually disappeared forever under the blazing sunlight.

"Finally, this place is sorted out."

Chen Ye let out a long breath. At this moment, he arrived at the gate leading out of the square and closed it again.

Bai Chen stepped forward.

Using the [Spatial Method] again, I sensed the location leading to the normal Sun Church.

At this moment, Bai Chen once again used the [Spatial Law], constantly sensing from the plaza gate leading to the Lieyang Church that there was a gate leading to normal spacetime.

next second.

Bai Chen sensed the correct time and space, placed his hands on the door, and continuously sensed the entrance to the Lieyang Church amidst the turbulent void.

After a while, Bai Chen released his hands, took a deep breath, and said:

"This void is so chaotic, but at least I've found my direction."

"Let's go back!"

The next second, Bai Chen pushed open the door leading to the Lieyang Church.

now.

A wide, semi-circular Roman square appeared before Chen Ye and his companions, where a large group of believers had gathered. They were all wanderers from the City of Destiny, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking after each other and exchanging pleasantries.

"Finally home."

Chen Ye let out a long breath. Having walked through this dangerous Blood Gate world, he truly felt like he had walked through the gates of hell. There were just too many souls there. If it weren't for the tears of the Primordial Saintess statue, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive this calamity.

Looking back again.

now.

The normal Lieyang Church was presented to the public, and every portrait of the Pope no longer shed blood and tears.

The blood-red gate in the center of the church had disappeared.

The entire Sun Chapel returned to normal.

even.

Even all the clergy members were standing inside the church, making it look exactly like the Sun Chapel in the City of Destiny.

"Finally home."

At this moment, Chen Ye and the others felt extremely moved, after all, they had gone through so many calamities and finally returned to the area of ​​the Lieyang Church.

"Holy Maiden, you have finally returned."

Bishop El-Melloi walked to the wide entrance of the Roman Forum and saw Chen Ye and the others returning safely. He finally couldn't help but sigh.

"This trip was fraught with risks, so it's all the better that you've returned safely."

"That's true," Chen Ye remarked.

After all, surviving this calamity in the Blood Gate World was truly like walking through the gates of hell. Successfully bringing the Church of the Blazing Sun back from the Blood Gate World was indeed an extremely difficult task.

“Bishop, the clown must have placed something nearby that pulled our entire Sun Chapel into the Blood Gate world's timeline. Moreover, this timeline is absolutely wrong. We need to close all the portals to different timelines before the Sun Chapel can return to normal.”

As dawn broke, I entered the spacious and bright church. Looking around, I noticed that some passageways were not particularly clean.

“We will join forces to deal with them,” Bishop El-Melloi said.

At this moment, everyone arrived at the basement level.

The church here appeared even darker, as if shrouded in a layer of gray mist.

In this place, it seemed as if several evil spirits were scattered about, emitting eerie, tearing cries like the dead.

"As expected, there are still some things left inside the Church of the Blazing Sun!"

Led by Bishop El-Melloi, the clergy arrived at the first basement level.

at this time.

Several malevolent spirits emerged from the basement level.

Bishop El-Melloi stood in front, holding his scepter, which he placed before him, radiating a brilliance like the sun.

The several undead shadows surged forward like a tidal wave, as if they were about to break through the entire dam.

But this time.

All the bishops have returned to the Church of the Blazing Sun, and since there is no influence from the Blood Gate World here, the bishops' strength can be fully utilized here.

As several bishops stood at the front, they continuously wielded the power of the blazing sun, slaying tens of thousands of souls.

Finally.

The area on the basement level has finally been cleared out a bit.

"It has finally recovered somewhat."

The Singer of the Blazing Sun continuously chanted hymns that purified the Holy Spirit, cleansing the evil spirits of this place.

"I never expected there to be so many undead inside the Church of the Blazing Sun!"

Chen Ye shook his head; he never expected the Lieyang Church to turn out like this.

"Wait a minute..." After carefully sensing the surroundings, Chenxi seemed to have discovered the truth. "Our Sun Chapel was pulled into an alternate dimension, and so many souls have appeared. It's possible that something is wrong in the underworld!"

"The underground world?"

Chen Ye frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why the existence of the underworld would lead to such a major problem.

“That’s right,” Chenxi said. “The Blood Gate World is probably linked with the Underworld to create an alternate dimension, which then pulled the entire Sun Chapel into it.”

"So, these doors probably all lead to the underground world?" Chen Ye asked, frowning.

"Indeed."

Chen Xi shook his head slightly and said, "Ever since the underground world appeared, the entire City of Destiny has been in turmoil."

"We discovered that this underground world was likely just a link created to deal with the Church of the Blazing Sun."

"After all, the only thing that can stand against the light is darkness."

"The existence of the underground world is entirely due to a mistake in the alternate dimension, which is why such a dark space exists." Chen Ye nodded, and with his intelligence, he immediately understood the meaning behind Chen Xi's words.

To resolve the current situation at the Church of the Blazing Sun, we'll probably have to return to the Underworld again, deal with the problems there, and only then can we return to true normalcy.

otherwise.

The Church of the Blazing Sun will be constantly attacked by the spirits of the dead.

At this moment, many of the [Blazing Sun Singers] gathered on the basement level, continuously chanting music.

Accompanied by the purifying Holy Spirit verses, they continued to be played...

The souls of the dead here are being rapidly purified, transformed once again into pure spiritual thoughts, and infused into the image of the primordial goddess.

but.

Compared to the terrifying red-skinned zombies of the Blood Gate world, these undead souls are far less of a supply for the Statue of the Primordial Goddess.

It may require a massive, countless souls to be purified before the statue of the primordial goddess can open its eyes again.

But this requires a very long period of accumulation before it can be restarted.

At this moment, Chen Ye and the others arrived at the basement level, where a door that shouldn't have been there appeared.

Its entire body was created from sheet metal, and it was incredibly old, as if it were from another world that had suddenly appeared in this place.

Next to it is an elevator button with numbers.

Such a situation should never have occurred at the Church of the Raging Sun.

It was entirely because the previous alternate dimension disrupted the Sun Chapel here, causing the entire Sun Chapel to fall into a state of attack.

Therefore, it is essential to resolve all the problems here before the real Lieyang Church can be restored to normal.

"If this underground problem isn't resolved, more and more souls will come up from inside and attack the Sunfire Cathedral." Chen Ye used his [Infinite Deduction] ability to continuously sense the subsequent developments and discovered that the situation was still quite dire.

If the spirits of the dead keep appearing, the entire Church of the Blazing Sun will never have a moment of peace.

Therefore, only by exorcising all the spirits of the dead in this underground place can this place return to normal.

"Open the door!"

Chen Ye walked to the elevator door and pressed the button next to it.

It was accompanied by a buzzing sound.

The elevator slowly ascended and arrived at the location of the Sun Chapel, where it opened.

The elevator's interior was incredibly old, with sheet metal everywhere that was about to fall off; it was so dilapidated that it looked like it might collapse at any moment.

This place is like the gate from heaven to hell.

now.

It was actually in the sacred Church of the Blazing Sun that it was opened.

Moreover, the Church of the Blazing Sun should not have had a basement in the first place.

and so.

Chen Ye and his group needed to use this elevator to go to the underground world and see what was happening inside.

“We will follow them,” Bishop El-Melloi said solemnly.

However, this elevator can only accommodate a maximum of ten people.

Bishop El-Melloi handed a sound-transmitting gem to a nun, saying:

"This elevator can only hold a maximum of ten people, no more. We will go in first to investigate and find out what is happening inside, then we will notify you and decide whether you want to go down."

The previous lineup consisted only of Chen Ye and others.

But now, with Bishop El-Melloi on the side, and the attack not on the Blood Gate world but on the Underworld, everything will be much easier.

"it is good!"

The nun accepted the gem and nodded emphatically: "We will contact you at any time using the sound transmission gem."

After speaking, Bishop El-Melloi immediately led everyone into the elevator.

soon.

As everyone entered the elevator, it seemed to be stained with a blood-red hue, dim and oppressive.

It looks pretty scary.

Chen Ye looked toward the elevator and saw that there were countless buttons, all of which led to negative numbers.

"Of all these buttons, I reckon only one is real."

Chen Ye frowned slightly. With his incredibly powerful senses, he detected that there were other dimensions all around.

“We only have one chance to choose,” Bai Chen said, frowning.

"It's this elevator that's designed to prevent us from solving the source of the underground world." Chen Ye had already guessed the elevator's creator's intentions.

After all, only in this way could Chen Ye and the others be prevented from going to the corresponding area.

Chen Ye activated the [Eye of Fortune] and, under his gaze, discovered that among all the numbers in the elevator, only the number "-13" was surrounded by a blood-red light, connecting with the Sun Chapel above the elevator.

Therefore, you need to press this button to go to the corresponding area in order to resolve the specific root cause.

Chen Ye directly selected the corresponding button.

After the button is pressed.

next second.

The elevator began to move slowly downwards.

Click!Click!
The elevator emitted a screeching sound, as if it had been operating for many years and was so worn and worn that it could hardly support the elevator as it descended to the "-13" floor.

However, the elevator kept making a clattering sound, as if it were about to fall at any moment...

But the elevator remained remarkably smooth as it slowly descended to the thirteenth basement level.

Bai Chen sensed it for a moment, then opened his eyes and said:

"This is indeed the space corresponding to the source!"

At that moment, as the elevator doors opened, countless souls transformed into howling ghostly figures, engulfing the entire elevator.

but……

The moment these ghostly figures rushed into the elevator...

Bishop El-Melloi and others immediately chanted sacred verses to purify the spirits of the dead.

In that instant when all the dead rushed forward...

It was as if the intense sunlight falling from the heavens had instantly turned it into a scene of devastation.

Countless swirling ghostly figures were instantly blasted away by this terrifying power!

A beam of light illuminated the outline of the underground world.

This is a huge stalactite formation, and in front of it is an endless sea of ​​corpses, as if countless souls have been thrown into this sea.

"I never imagined that the Sea of ​​the Dead was connected to the Underworld in the same area!"

When Chen Ye arrived here, he immediately sensed that this Sea of ​​the Dead was the same coastline he had visited before, where a fallen dragon god had once appeared.

however.

Unexpectedly, the source of the souls was the Sea of ​​the Dead, a vast ocean formed by countless undead, covering the entire area. (End of Chapter)
