Become a god from scratch

Chapter 83 The Ensuing Crisis

Lin Xuan's question made the mental channel quiet for a short while.

After a moment, someone answered him.

Sheng Naiqi: No one knows how many worlds Old Earth has connected, but as more and more worlds are connected, more and more churches appear in Old Earth. A conservative estimate is that there may be thousands of them.

Sheng Naiqi: With so many churches, there must be no less than a thousand gods corresponding to them. However, among so many gods, only seven are recognized as dominant gods, and the 'Scarlet Lord' is one of them...

Following Sheng Naiqi's popularization, Li Zhi and Lin Xinrui, who knew more about the old land, also added some information they knew.

Combining the three people's stories, Lin Xuan also understood why the [Scarlet Church] had such great power that it could even influence the Earth Origin Star.

You know, these so-called gods are essentially outsiders to the Old Land just like them.

Moreover, due to the rules of the Old Land, these gods cannot descend to the Old Land through the "bridges" connecting the Old Land.

It was under such circumstances that the Scarlet Church was able to develop people who went from the Earth Origin Star to the Old Land into believers, and even allowed these believers to do whatever they wanted on the Earth Origin Star at the risk of being discovered for betraying the Earth Origin Star.

When Lin Xuan didn't know the situation of these gods, he thought that these gods were the controllers of the old land, so they could reversely invade in this way.

But when I learned that these gods were also outsiders, I realized that it was incredible that the Scarlet Church could do this.

The 'Scarlet Lord' worshipped by the [Scarlet Church] is most likely not an ordinary god.

The popular science research by Sheng Naiqi and others verified his guess.

The Scarlet Lord is one of the seven dominant gods, and his followers founded the Scarlet Church, which is also one of the seven churches in the Old Land.

Even the domain kings are unwilling to easily come into conflict with the seven major churches.

On the other side, after Sheng Naiqi and the other three finished their popular science presentation, Xing Yan suddenly seemed to remember something.

Xing Yan: Before I came here, I heard from my dad that Scarlet Cultists had just appeared on Tianhai Island. Brother Xuanxuan, have you seen them?

Lin Xuan: Well, they seem to be holding a sacrifice ceremony on Tianhai Island.
Fang Jingjing: What? These churches have already expanded to Earth Origin Star?!

Obviously, Fang Jingjing was also learning about these things for the first time and was deeply shocked.

Li Zhi: This is not something that has only happened recently. The purpose of the existence of all churches is to expand the number of believers of the gods they believe in. As early as the early days of the development of the Earth Source Star, we had dealings with two of the seven major churches.
Lin Xuan: Including the Scarlet Church?
Li Zhi: Of course not. The teachings of the Scarlet Church are a bit too evil. If the seven major churches are divided into three camps: chaos, neutrality, and lawfulness, the Scarlet Church is the only one in the chaos camp. This kind of church will not be welcomed anywhere.
Lin Xuan understood Li Zhi’s words instantly.

To put it simply, the Scarlet Church is a recognized villain, and even if Diyuanxing wants to deal with it, it will not be willing to deal with such a sect.

As for why the church camp is not defined by evil or good, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the core of all churches is to expand faith.

This also means that it is difficult for the church itself to truly meet the definition of kindness. It is already very difficult to be lawful.

"My Lords, do you have any other instructions?"

The toad boy Ah Tu naturally didn't know that while he was introducing the situation in Toad King Town, the people in front of him were still chatting in the mental channel.

Seeing that no one said anything for a long time after he finished speaking, he could only ask carefully.

Although Lin Xuan and the others did not listen attentively, they had a general understanding of Chanwang Town through A Tu's introduction.

"Not for now. You can go down and have a rest first. Let the boss arrange a place for you to stay. We will call you at any time if we need you."

The night goblin Lin Xuan waved his hand with a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, Ah Tu bowed to Lin Xuan and the others as if he had been pardoned. Then he backed out of the room and closed the door.

However, even though A Tu had left, Lin Xuan and the others still chose to communicate through the spiritual channel.

Lin Xuan: Then let's rest here tonight and set off after we find out the route to Half Dragon Territory.

Li Zhi: Well, let's do this for now. I'll go find the little frog later to find out more about the situation.

Sheng Naiqi: After the little frog reminded us just now, I always feel a little uneasy. I have to go back to my room to do some divination.

?

Sheng Naiqi's mysterious remarks left everyone confused, but no one asked any more questions.

Because there are indeed many mystics who share this style. Even if they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs run.

Eventually, the other five left.

Lin Xinrui and Fang Jingjing lived in one room, Li Zhi, Tong Di and Sheng Naiqi lived in one room, and as the ace bodyguard, the night fairy Lin Xuan naturally lived in the same room with Xing Yan, the young master of the Six-Eyed Clan, so as to provide close protection.

This arrangement would certainly be impeccable in the eyes of outsiders.

……

evening.

When Li Zhi, covered in black scales, left the residence of the toad-man boy A Tu, just as A Tu was about to close the door, a hand stuck it through the crack.

A Tu was startled, but before he could react, a figure forced his way into the room he was in.

"Don't make any noise. If you alarm those outsiders, neither you nor your mother will survive!" A fierce threat followed.

When Ah Tu heard this, he immediately covered his mouth with his hands and dared not make a sound.

Soon, he recognized that the person who broke in was Amu, who had been driven away by the hotel owner not long ago because he offended those distinguished guests.

"You, what do you want to do?" A Tu asked in a low voice.

"Do you want to save your mother?" Amu asked directly.

"What do you mean?"

"As long as you do me a favor, I can give you a batch of holy water, enough for your mother to use for at least three years, how about it?"

"Where did you get so much holy water?"

"Don't worry about it. Just tell me whether you are willing or not."

"Then you have to tell me what you are doing to help me, right?"

"This is natural."

Upon hearing this, Ah Mu whispered something in Ah Tu's ear. Ah Tu was startled when he heard this, and stepped back several steps, saying:
"Are you crazy?!"

"I just don't want to miss this golden opportunity. Ah Tu, this is your chance too... As long as the two of us can accomplish this, we will both have the opportunity to join the cult. By then, let alone three years of holy water, even five or ten years of holy water will be within our grasp, right?"

Amu said excitedly.

"But you should have heard from Uncle Gu about the identities of those distinguished guests. They are not people that small people like us can afford to offend. If we anger them, we will only have one way out, and that is death." A Tu said in fear.

"What are you afraid of? We are working for Lord Toad King. Even if something goes wrong, Lord Toad King will protect us!"

Ah Mu waved his hand and said, "Ah Tu, do you think those outsiders can be more powerful than Lord Toad King?" Ah Tu shook his head subconsciously and said, "Of course it's impossible."

Amu said: "Isn't that it?"

Ah Tu said: "But we are not even members of the cult, how can you be sure that the Lord Toad King will protect us for such a thing?"

Amu said: "I knew you would ask this. Come on, let's go meet someone——"

After saying that, without waiting for A Tu to refuse, A Mu pulled him out.

When the two men walked outside, the innkeeper was already sitting on a stone bench in the backyard watching them.

"Uncle?" Amu obviously didn't expect that his uncle would be waiting for him here.

"Stop making trouble, Amu, and go home." The hotel owner said in a deep voice.

"I'm not making a fuss, uncle. Everything is for the great Lord Toad King. I'm just doing the right thing!" Amu said firmly.

"Don't let yourself be used, Amu. I am your uncle. How could I harm you?" The hotel owner was a little anxious.

"I have not been used by anyone. You will understand when I join the cult, uncle."

Amu didn't want to explain any more, so he pulled Atu and walked out.

Looking at the direction the two people left, the hotel owner's expression changed again and again. He wanted to follow them, but finally gave up.

"These kids are too troublesome, aren't they, Old Gu?" A hand was placed on the hotel owner's shoulder and patted him on the shoulder.

"Who says it isn't true? Amu is a kid who is too easy to be exploited. But it's too late to say these things now." The hotel owner sighed.

"That's not necessarily true. Do you want me to go over there and take a look?" the voice continued.

"This isn't a good idea, is it? Although the kid is impulsive, the one who made him so impulsive must be someone from the cult. It would be very troublesome if we follow him and get discovered." The hotel owner said hesitantly.

"Well, it's no big deal. I'm very skilled and they can't find me. Don't worry." The voice said again.

"Then I'll leave it to you." The hotel owner nodded.

"It's a small matter. You can just waive my hotel bill later."

"No problem, we are all family, talking about money will hurt feelings."

"Old Gu, you are really nice. I'll go first and we'll talk later."

Before he finished speaking, the figure followed in the direction where Amu and Atu left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's a good thing he's here."

The hotel owner first breathed a sigh of relief, but then showed a look of surprise, "Wait... who was that just now?"

……

into the night.

Outside Chanwang Town.

A figure wearing a raven mask was looking towards the direction of Toad King Town.

At this moment, a small sparrow fell from the sky and landed on the shoulder of the figure.

Then, the familiar voice of the man named Qian Kui came from under the Raven Mask: "Are you done yet?"

The next moment, the little sparrow also spoke up: "I should be the one asking you this... What on earth are you planning? Your conspiracy has been discovered, but you still don't stop. What exactly do you want to do?"

The voice coming from the mouth of this little sparrow was exactly that of Bai Xue, the captain of the Eighth Special Operations Team of the Chiyan Headquarters!
Previously, the staff in Nanmu Town were controlled by Qiankui, and she was the first to discover it and resolve Qiankui's control.

Qian Kui, who was wearing the raven mask, snorted coldly and said, "Now that the conspiracy has been discovered, there is naturally no need to hide. As for what I want to do, there is no need to tell you. If you want to know, just read it yourself."

Sparrow: "I will keep an eye on you, but I advise you not to waste your time. We have already passed the information back after we found you. It won't be long before some big shots will come. I may not be able to do anything to you, but that doesn't mean those big shots can't do anything to you either."

Qian Kui, under the raven mask, did not pretend to be tough this time, because his strength was about the same as Bai Xue's, at most slightly stronger.

But as that lord's subordinate, he knew a lot about the situation on Diyuan Star, if not exactly the back of his hand.

Although the ancient country of Taixia is only a country on the Earth Origin Star, if it is really regarded as a force, it is definitely a force of the same level as the Raven Council!

Moreover, the existence of the Raven Parliament is relatively loose, and in most cases the members will not interfere in each other's affairs.

Similarly, they will not support each other for free.

The ancient country of Taixia is different. It is a force with cohesiveness comparable to that of many churches. It is impossible for the Raven Council to fight to the death with such a force.

The ultimate purpose of their actions this time was never to become an enemy of Taixia.

Although he didn't know how much strength the ancient country of Taixia had, it definitely had no shortage of commander-level creatures, and any one of them could easily crush him to death.

He did not doubt what Bai Xue had just said, because this was within their expectations.

Therefore, even though he knew there was danger, he couldn't just back down.

"Anyway, thank you for your reminder. I knew you cared about me." Qian Kui under the raven mask suddenly smiled.

"You can talk as much as you want, but once you are in our hands, I would be very interested in caring for you..."

Snow White's cold voice came from the sparrow's mouth.

"Then wait until I really fall into your hands!" Qian Kui, who was wearing the raven mask, suddenly changed his expression and flicked his fingers, turning the sparrow into a bloody mist.

After patting his shoulder, he walked slowly towards Chanwang Town.

……

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door of the room where Lin Xuan and Xing Yan were.

"Enter--"

The hoarse voice of the night goblin Lin Xuan came from inside.

Sheng Naiqi opened the door and found that everyone except himself had gathered here again. He was surprised and said:
"You're in a meeting? Why didn't you call me?"

"Didn't I call you?" Lin Xinrui was a little surprised.

Since they had just separated not long ago, she had not forgotten that Sheng Naiqi was her own. But it was not until Sheng Naiqi mentioned it that she realized that she had indeed forgotten to call him.

Sheng Naiqi had long been accustomed to this, so he didn't dwell on it any longer. He just sat down on a chair nearby and poured himself a glass of water.

"I went back to my room and had a fortune-teller's fortune told. The fortune-teller showed that we would be in trouble soon. I followed the fortune-teller's instructions and went to find the innkeeper. Guess what I found?"
