Who designed this underworld dungeon?.

Chapter 698 The Rise of the Starfire Church
"As expected, there are no bad people among those who like fire."

In the Starfire Church in Bede City, a Flame Monk smiled and said to the believer who came to offer money:
May your career be blessed by the god of fire, burning as fiercely as firewood thrown into a flame.

"May Gwyn protect you."

The believer muttered something and presented a fiery red envelope with both hands. After the fire cultivator accepted it, he left respectfully.

We left this chapel, which was only accessible to those of high status, senior believers, or those with special affinity.

The Flame Monk who received him in this chapel was naturally not an ordinary member of the Starfire Church, but someone with a considerable position in the church.

The founder of the Starfire Church, who was the first to clear the Sien Dungeon with Leon and his team, who single-handedly changed the name of the fire god and established Gwyn as the new fire god, can no longer be called a fire monk; he should be renamed a bishop.

His name—Genoson—is still engraved on the first stone tablet, receiving the gaze of every passing adventurer.

As long as the stone tablet in the Sien Dungeon still exists, his name will continue to appear before the public.

This is also one of his methods of promoting the Spark Church!
Ever since the day he first cleared the Sien Dungeon, Genosson has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of his sect.

Although he looked old, his mind was quite young. He reformed all the old and outdated rules within the sect one by one, and ruthlessly eliminated disunited members. He personally set about changing the sect's rules again.
After completing a series of internal affairs, the Church of Starfire was revitalized. Although its membership had decreased significantly, each member held a firm faith in the new god of fire, Gwyn, and they were all sworn warriors of the sun.

During the rebirth of the Spark Church, he personally participated in every missionary activity.

From mass proselytizing on the spot to drawing talismans to help people in the Sien Dungeon, and then to bringing the Sun Warriors' helpfulness to the outside world to assist believers and even passersby, and even targeting more famous sects like the Holy Light Church, they soon formulated a development policy that deeply bound the Starfire Church to the Sien Dungeon, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
With a series of practical plans, the Spark Church burst forth with unprecedented vitality in his hands!

For Genosson, taking over the Spark Church was like starting a new business from scratch.

And now, he has actually succeeded in building this business!
"call"

Genosson exhaled and looked up at the Gwyn statue on the altar. The statue was a one-to-one replica of the Gwyn statue in Anor Londo, with some added details.

You can tell they put a lot of effort into it.

"I made the right decision to replace Vulcan."

The past is like smoke, and he recalls the past when he single-handedly developed the Spark Church as if it were still in front of him, his eyes filled with memories.

Wait a minute, it seems like it hasn't even been a year since Vulcan was replaced.

Genosson suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have many memories to recall, and a smile crept onto his already wrinkled face.

"The decision to bind with the Sien Dungeon was absolutely the right one."

He never expected that the Sien Dungeon would develop so rapidly, and the popularity of the Starfire Church would also rise sharply.

There's no way around it; that's the benefit of aligning yourself with the right powerful figure.

With a "rip," he tore open the envelope and began to examine its contents.

"Is this a business conflict?"

He handed the letter to the statue of Gwyn, and immediately a pair of hands reached out from behind the thick, flame-colored curtain to take it.

“Handle this matter properly. That person was a devout believer who recently donated a large sum of money to the church.”

"Yes." A voice responded from behind the curtain, followed by footsteps fading into the distance.

One of the core tenets of the Spark Church is helping others, and they directly embody the qualities they believe in as Sun Warriors in their expectations of their believers.

In various churches, the solution to believers' troubles is a blessing from God, and those whose troubles are usually resolved are not ordinary believers. However, in the Spark Church, the entire church is a giant "sun warrior" who helps believers relieve their worries.

The requests of ordinary believers are handled by dedicated church staff, while those who have made special contributions are personally received by Genosson. Although the aim is to help others to the best of one's ability, sincerity is still required when facing some difficult issues; otherwise, the church cannot continue to operate.

This feels more like a replica of an adventurers' guild?
It's just dealing with the troubles of believers.

“Bishop Genosson, there is new information from Scameron. Please take a look.”

Just then, a fire-wielding cultivator trotted over and presented the letter.

Genosson opened the package and looked at it, his brows furrowing immediately, but he quickly composed himself and sighed:
"I shouldn't have agreed to their request to return to Scamellon to preach. They actually had some kind of dream of replacing the three major religions. They rashly joined the rebel army to fight without my consent, and now they have suffered heavy losses and only then do they know to come back to me for help."

"Should we intervene?" the Flame Cultivator asked. "The situation in war-torn Scammeron is complex and unpredictable, not to mention..."

"Moreover, that country doesn't have the Sien Dungeon, which is disadvantageous to us."

Genosson spoke the last words for the Flame Monk.

The Church of Starfire owes its current success entirely to the Saen Dungeon. Their main missionary work is now in the Warrior Kingdom, because Saen has opened a branch city there and has a certain influence.

Now that Scamelot doesn't have Thane, even Genosson is uncertain about the situation.

"But we can't just stand by and watch them die. If it were Solal, the most loyal Sun Warrior under the God of Fire, he certainly wouldn't abandon his comrade."

Solal seems to hold a rather unusual position within the Church of Starfire.

"Let's go, let's go to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Religions too. It shouldn't be too difficult to rescue a few people from this chaotic situation."

Genosson repeated it again, as if he were reminding himself;
"I'll come back after I rescue the person, and I'll never get involved in those messy things."

------------

This may be the fastest dungeon battle that Gong Qiying has ever fought.

No, this seems to be the first time we've fought a dungeon battle in the Sien Dungeon. Before that, we've always fought more intense deathmatches.

From finalizing the cooperation details with Yanhuo to the official start of the match today, everything happened very quickly; the two sides only waited three days.

The reason for waiting three more days is that there will be a brief shutdown when the dungeon opens, so some minor adjustments need to be made to things related to visitor flow.

Fortunately, Gong Qiying accepted the battle under the name of "Synn Dungeon", so those branch cities - those in Val, Reid and Blackrock City - will not be affected and will not be closed.

Especially the Val branch city, which is a residential dungeon, would be a real headache if it suddenly closed down, since there are actually people living in Lake Lienia.

If those people were suddenly kicked out, many unexpected things would probably happen. For example, Gong Qiying only recently noticed that the town in front of his academy has become a private meeting place for many adulterous couples.

Therefore, the only place that will truly be closed is the original Cinn Dungeon located in Bed City.

"come yet."

Gong Qiying sensed a notification coming from his own dungeon, indicating that the Blazing Blaze Dungeon had given a signal that it was ready to start the battle.

"A swift victory is crucial. The other dungeons probably didn't expect me to win so quickly, and new challenges won't arrive for a long time."

He muttered something to himself and then responded to the Blazing Dungeon's request.

The Blazing Dungeons are converging and about to merge.
