Chapter 412 Recreating Resentment
The Cathedral of Souls, formerly the first church in Selina, is considered a miracle in itself.

The power of the Church of Souls comes from two sources: first, the special bricks inside the cathedral, made from living corpses and imbued with the power of the Blood Moon; and second, the people's faith and the Tree of Miracles.

Before leaving the Midnight Graveyard instance, Wu Chang did not destroy the Soul Light Cathedral, but he used the Soul Cleansing Banner to exorcise the living corpses in the Blood Moon Bricks and destroyed the Miracle Tree in the cathedral.

In the third month after he left the plane, the Cathedral of Soullight, having lost its faith, collapsed on its own due to the cessation of miracles and the rise of the Soullight Cult.

The Cathedral of Souls still remains in ruins.

The ruins are covered with runes. As the central node of the entire miracle guidance ceremony, the faith and life force of believers are flowing here along the ceremony.

Being sent into the plane by Lyman as a divine messenger, White Wolf's strength was naturally far superior to Simmons'. He sensed Wu Chang and Eileen the moment they appeared and stepped out from the central node.

White Wolf looked at Wu Chang and Eileen, his face showing no embarrassment at being caught doing something wrong. Instead, he displayed the air of a victor and said:

"The beliefs of this plane are indeed related to you."

Wu Chang had already guessed that Bai Lang was looking for them. He wasn't surprised by Bai Lang's words. Compared to Bai Lang's reaction, he was more surprised by Bai Lang's origins.

He sized up the white wolf and said, "I never imagined that the Light Society would cooperate with the Tranquility Sect to this extent in order to find me."

White Wolf's expression froze, and he asked incredulously, "How did you figure that out?"

Wu Chang smiled and said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"You smell like counterfeit goods."

The timing of the White Wolf's appearance was too coincidental. The Tranquility Church hadn't sent anyone into the Midnight Graveyard plane for so long, yet as soon as they entered, a divine messenger descended.

Furthermore, he had heard Han mention that the White Wolf paid special attention to the Eternal Light Cult, so it was easy to deduce that the White Wolf was after him.

At first, he thought that it might be because Lyman had repeatedly encountered setbacks in the Steam Phantom dimension, or that he had provoked Lyman too much before he attacked him, causing Lyman to send his men to seek revenge.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand: after he had elbowed the Steam Instance, Lyman should have been aware of his strength. His projection had been completely crushed, so why would he continue to send his subordinates in to die?

The moment Wu Chang saw the white wolf, he understood the reason for this incongruity.

He sensed an aura of utopian divinity emanating from the white wolf.

He had seen many deities, whether they were native gods of the wasteland, seeds of divinity, or deep-seated gods of the abyss like Lyman and Christine.

Compared to the divinity formed from these roots, the ideal divinity has a unique sense of emptiness.

In Wu Chang's eyes, the light emanating from the imagined divinity was illusory and unreal, feeling akin to taking a photo out of focus.

The weaker one's strength, the stronger this feeling becomes. By the time one reaches the level of Mercury and Amber after their awakening, the ethereal aura is already very faint. Compared to them, Hercules' divinity is somewhat weaker, and the ethereal divinity within the white wolf is particularly noticeable.

After a quick glance, Wu Chang could tell that the divinity within the white wolf was still just a seed of divinity about to mature.

The so-called miracle guidance ritual is actually a ritual to induce the maturation of divinity.

In Wu Chang's eyes, the difference between idealistic divinity and ordinary divinity was obvious, but White Wolf couldn't understand what Wu Chang was talking about and shook his head, saying, "You're just making things up."

Wu Chang had no intention of explaining to the white wolf, and said:
"Before you came in, did Mercury tell you that if I caught you, you'd better confess voluntarily, or you'll suffer if I do?"

The white wolf's lips curled up slightly; he didn't take Wu Chang's threat to heart.

Before entering the Midnight Graveyard plane, he knew something about Wu Chang's record, but not much. He only knew that Wu Chang had caused the higher-ups of the Light Society to suffer.

Among players in the Wilderness Realm, achieving this level is quite remarkable, but it still falls short of being able to defeat him.

When players from the Realm of Reason enter the Desolate Realm, they will be suppressed by the Desolate Realm's dimensional barrier. This suppression from the abyss is something that even divinity cannot escape.

The divinity suppressed by the dimensional barrier can only exert extremely limited effects, far less than that of divinity in its full state.

His strength is not as great as that of the higher-ups of the Light Society, but he awakened in the Desolate Realm with a divine seed within him, and the divinity within him can exert all its effects in the Desolate Realm.

At this moment, as the seed of divinity matured, an endless stream of power surged within him. With the blessing of divine power, he felt omnipotent.

To put it somewhat offensively, once the divine seed within him matures, he believes he can defeat the projection condensed by the higher-ups of the Light Society.

He said to Wu Chang, "You can only talk big now. When my divinity awakens, you will know what cruelty is."

After White Wolf finished speaking, his body transformed into a stream of light and was transported to other ritual nodes through a mystical ritual.

He planned to use this method to buy time for his divine nature to mature.

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and when his vision stabilized, he found himself at a ritual site far from the Cathedral of Soullight.

He looked at the superhuman guarding the node, and was about to say something when he saw the superhuman's body collapse to the ground. Then Wu Chang and Eileen appeared out of thin air in front of him.

White Wolf was startled and immediately prepared to transfer to another area, but Wu Chang shouted before White Wolf could leave:
"Wait, you don't need to run. As long as you control the absorption force and prevent believers from dying, I will give you a chance to awaken your divinity."

The white wolf paused, and asked:

"You're not going to stop me from awakening my divinity? What do you want to do?"

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "I didn't mean to do anything, I just wanted to help you adjust your mindset."

White Wolf asked疑惑地问道: "Adjust mindset?"

Wu Chang said, "Everyone who has just gained divinity will lose themselves in the divine power. To put it simply, they get carried away. It's easy to adjust; a couple of elbows and they'll behave."

Wu Chang was not lying; he gave the white wolf the opportunity to awaken its divinity in order to help the other party adjust its mindset.

It's not that he adjusted, but rather that he completely shattered White Wolf's mentality.

He was an upright and honest man, and he disliked and was not good at torture and forced confessions because they were too despicable.

Without the help of the Tongue of God to prepare the Truth Potion, there is only one way for him to pry open the White Wolf's mouth and learn about the Illuminati's conspiracy.

That was to use the same method he used against Xavier: creating artificial resentment.

If you completely defeat the White Wolf, both physically and mentally, making him feel powerless and desperate, there is a high probability that he will develop resentment.

Even when tortured to extract confessions, one must distinguish between truth and falsehood; but the resentment left behind after death does not lie.

White Wolf snorted coldly, believing whatever the enemy said. He wasn't that naive. He ignored Wu Chang and teleported away again.

His vision blurred for a moment, then returned, and...

What's going on? Why can't he see it?

He did not appear at the western ritual point as expected, but instead fell into a cold darkness.

Something terrifying seemed to lurk in the darkness, whispering incomprehensible words to him. Amidst these inexplicable whispers, his consciousness began to cloud, and he could no longer remain conscious.

No, it can't be like this.

Before he completely succumbed to darkness, he reacted in time, activating the divine seed within him and using that divinity to break free from the darkness's control.

The seed of divinity has begun to hatch, and even if it is not fully hatched, it will still give him the power of a demigod.

Although the surrounding darkness was eerie, it had no effect on divinity.

With divine blessing, he began to see his surroundings clearly.

He was currently in the depths of the sea, unable to discern directions or even up or down. He could see his surroundings clearly, but did not know how to leave.

In a daze, he saw a dark figure in front of him, and he suspected that the dark figure was the one who had just whispered.

Taking him out might free him from his predicament.

He swam toward the shadowy figure, and as he saw it clearly, his pupils contracted.

The dark figure in front of him was a human corpse. He recognized the deceased; it was Simmons, the one with a clear sense of self who had shouted, "I am a piece of trash."

Simmons's death was gruesome; his face was extremely distorted, his features misaligned, giving off an eerie feeling as if AI had turned an abstract painting into a lifelike one.

Simmons must have seen something extremely terrifying before his death, something that pierced his will and caused his mental breakdown.

His mental breakdown led to his physical breakdown, which is why he ended up like this.

The white wolf shuddered, pushing Simmons's corpse far away, its fear of this sea area deepening.

If he can't escape from here, will he become like this too?
Before he could calm down, the scene before his eyes blurred, and he returned to reality from the deep sea.

Wu Chang looked at the white wolf released from the Blind Abyss and said:
“I don’t like repeating myself. If you comply with my conditions, I will give you the opportunity to mature in divinity. If you don’t, I will throw you back into the Abyss to keep Simmons company.” White Wolf’s cheeks twitched. When he was imprisoned in the Abyss, his connection with the outside world was cut off, and he was unable to absorb the power of faith through rituals, so his divinity could not mature further.

If he remains imprisoned in the Abyss of Blindness until his divine power is exhausted, he may very well follow in Simmons' footsteps.

But Peace did not do that; instead, he simply released him.

Only now did he become certain that Wu Chang was serious and that the other party truly allowed him to mature divinely.

The fact that the other party dared to do this shows that they didn't take him seriously at all.

White Wolf clenched his fists, a powerful sense of humiliation and anger rising within him.

He took a deep breath, ignoring the water stains on his body, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to concentrate on absorbing the energy of the ritual.

Wait, wait until his divine seed matures, he will take revenge on Wu Chang tenfold for the humiliation he suffered at this moment.

He had only absorbed half a minute of faith power when he suddenly saw Wu Chang walking over and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

White Wolf clutched his stomach, glaring hatefully at Wu Chang. "Are you scared?"

Wu Chang looked at the white wolf with disdain, "I just told you to control your strength so you don't suck the believers to death."

White Wolf dared not speak his anger, and could only slow down his absorption speed, thinking to himself, "Eleven times! He will avenge this humiliation on Wu Chang eleven times over!"

When White Wolf entered the Midnight Graveyard plane, the divine seed within him was only a hair's breadth away from maturity.

Driven by his extreme thirst for power, the divine seed merged with him at an incredibly rapid pace, maturing completely in just a few minutes.

A powerful divine force surged through his body, instantly making him forget everything that had happened in the Blind Abyss, and boundless confidence rose in his heart once again.

He looked at Wu Chang and let out a low growl like a wild beast. His size increased to ten meters, and long, thin white hair grew on his body. His arms became as long as his legs, and he lay forward on the ground. His face became pointed and long, transforming into a wolf's head.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a human into a giant white wolf, not a werewolf-man, but a pure wolf.

The white wolf, now fully transformed into a beast, transformed its hiss into a roar.

The roar, imbued with immense divine power, transformed into ripples that spread outwards.

Wu Chang used the power of mystical origins to condense a shield in front of him. When the shield collided with the sound waves, he could clearly feel some of the energy being absorbed by the sound waves and entering the white wolf's body.

Compared to true divinity, imagined divinity is superficial, and before reaching the level of a mid-level god, its combat power is inferior to that of divinities of the same level.

However, there is an advantage to the concept of a god of fantasy. Since each god of fantasy has a prototype, once a god of fantasy is created and matures, it will have its own characteristics, which is equivalent to skipping the lower-level gods and going directly to the middle level.

In the case of the White Wolf, this manifests as the devouring characteristic inherent in his divinity from the moment he awakens.

Wu Chang looked at the white wolf and said, "It's still somewhat interesting."

The white wolf bared his teeth, thick saliva dripping from between them, and roared, "Peace, you will pay the price for your contempt for me..."

Before Bai Lang could finish speaking, he saw Wu Chang disappear from his sight. When he came to his senses, he found that Wu Chang was already standing on his nose.

Because Wu Chang was standing too close, in order to see Wu Chang clearly, the white wolf's eyes became cross-eyed. From Wu Chang's perspective, the white wolf, who was just a moment ago majestic, instantly turned into a husky.

Wu Chang looked at the mentally challenged man with a caring gaze, raised his elbow high, and said, "I'll help you adjust your mindset right away."

Immediately afterwards, he slammed his elbow down on the white wolf's nose.

"Man!"

The nose is a weakness of wolves, and when the blasphemous Mamba's iron elbow came down, it instantly made the white wolf's vision go black and smashed his cross-eyed eye.

Although White Wolf possesses the divine nature of imagination, his foundation is merely that of a player from the Desolate Realm, with the stats of a level 30 player. He is fundamentally unable to escape the series of negative effects associated with Mamba Iron Elbow.

Before Bai Lang could recover, Wu Chang delivered two more elbow strikes, stacking the Mamba Mark on him. The damage from the Blasphemer also shattered the divine power within Bai Lang, causing him to fall from ten meters to four meters.

The threat of death unleashed the White Wolf's astonishing potential. He roared again, and the sound wave with a devouring effect completely absorbed the negative status effects within his body.

To avoid the divine-like roar, Wu Chang had no choice but to dismount from the white wolf, which seized the opportunity to fly away and widen the distance between them.

Once the white wolf regained consciousness, its eyes became much clearer, and it looked at Wu Chang with fear in its gaze.

When the Light Society handed over the ideal divinity to him, they told him that peace was very strong, and that as long as peace could be seen appearing in the midnight graveyard, the plan would be considered a success. They told him to drop everything and run away immediately.

Knowing this is one thing, but when White Wolf actually encountered Peace and didn't sense any divinity in her, he lowered his guard against her.

His divine seed was just a hair's breadth away from maturity, which made him hesitate to leave immediately and instead give rise to the idea of ​​trying peace.

I never imagined that trying it would lead to my death.

He couldn't understand why Peace, without divinity or even the power of the source, could shatter his divinity simply by striking him three times with his elbows.

However, there was one thing he could understand: he was no match for peace. Now that his divinity had matured, it was time for him to leave.

White Wolf, feeling a sense of retreat, took out a dungeon escape item from his personal space and prepared to leave the Midnight Graveyard plane.

The light from the item emanating from the instance shone brightly, enveloping his entire body. As a player, especially one with divine power, he couldn't afford to lose face, so following the conventions of the martial world, White Wolf uttered a harsh threat:
"Peace, you win this time. Once I'm familiar with divinity, the next time we meet will be your death day!"

Wu Chang stood still, watching the white wolf activate the dungeon and detach from the item. Then he snapped his fingers, and a spatial domain unfolded, enveloping the white wolf and isolating it from all spatial abilities.

Just in case, he also ventured into the realm of occultism, using methods Lyman had employed to create a second barrier to spatial movement.

As a result, the dungeon escape item in White Wolf's hand had been activated, but after a flash of white light, the item was consumed, and White Wolf was still stuck in the same spot.

The white wolf stared coldly at his palm, sweat beading on his forehead.

He heard a mocking voice beside him, "Why wait until next time?"

White Wolf realized that the item detaching from the dungeon was malfunctioning because of the power of the Root of Peace. He immediately took out another item and prepared to use the divine power in his roar to open a gap in the Root Realm.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, he found that his mouth was being held shut by Heping's single hand, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not open it.

Wu Chang activated his Sea Giant transformation at this moment. With the Sea Giant buff, his strength exceeded 200 points in non-erosion dungeons, enough to easily defeat the White Wolf.

Wu Chang kicked the dungeon item out of Bai Lang's hand, then let go, took two steps back, and gestured for him to leave.

It seems to be saying, "Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve."

Wu Chang didn't say a word, but his actions were more sarcastic than any words could have been.

White Wolf broke down. The moment the dungeon item expired, he felt the threat of death from Wu Chang.

He had just become a god; he couldn't die here like this. Clinging to his last hope, he cried out:

"I am not in my complete form now. I need to devour the moon to make my divinity complete."

Wu Chang stepped aside to make way for him and said, "You can give it a try."

The white wolf staggered out of the ritual point, came outside, and looked at the moon in the distance.

The moon was now blood red, reminiscent of the eternal blood moon of the past. It seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation and was rising rapidly from the Cathedral of Elixir.

Under the glow of the blood moon, the white wolf's fur grew longer, and the divinity within it, which had been shattered, showed signs of re-forming.

He roared at the blood moon, and with the roar, the rising blood moon suddenly stopped.

The white wolf opened its massive jaws, aiming them at the blood moon from afar, ready to take a bite.

Wu Chang looked at the white wolf gathering its strength, a look of hesitation in his eyes. He had thought that swallowing the moon was symbolic, but he did not expect it to be the literal meaning. The white wolf really wanted to eat the moon.

He wasn't worried that the white wolf's strength would actually increase by leaps and bounds after devouring the moon; he was worried that the white wolf would digest too quickly. If he were to cut open the white wolf's stomach later and the moon couldn't return to its original state, then the Midnight Graveyard plane would be in trouble.

Just as he was hesitating, a golden light rose from the Cathedral of Spirit Medicine and crashed hard into the Blood Moon.

This attack not only caused the crimson color in the moon to fade rapidly, but also freed the moon from the white wolf's control, allowing it to continue ascending.

The white wolf took a bite, but only grazed the edge of the moon, leaving a deep mark without biting off anything.

He missed his target once, and the moon had already soared high into the sky. No matter how much he howled, the moon did not stop again.

Feeling that the White Wolf had accumulated enough despair, Wu Chang smiled and looked at the White Wolf, saying:
"It seems you won't have that chance."
