Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 163 I am the Bishop
Kumiloni stood there, his mind racing.

His eyes were vacant; though he was looking ahead, it seemed as if he were gazing into endless nothingness.

She simply couldn't connect the words "Lu Cang" with "the Archbishop of the Church of Death."

But soon.

Various conjectures immediately arose in my mind.

Eventually, her head started to burn.

Finally, after a two-minute period of contemplation, Kumiloni came to his senses.

She stared blankly at Lu Cang with lifeless eyes.

"Little Lu Cang, this Life Purification Technique will grant you painless liberation..."

Hey!
You must be mistaken!

Don't suddenly say such terrible things!
"cough……"

Iz coughed.

"It's not that serious."

Kumironi's eyes regained their clarity, and he turned to look at Izparut.

"Iz, explain the situation to me clearly."

"I've temporarily canceled all my work at the Church of Life."

If it's important work, there's no need to rush.

Izzy: "You never wanted to work, did you?"

Kumiloni: "No, it's very important work, but if there are more important things to do, then there's no way around it."

Kumironi sat down leisurely...

Lu Cang couldn't see at all what made that job so important.

It was just an excuse to slack off.

“Go ahead and tell me, after all, you did say you had something important to do that caused you to skip work,” Kumironi emphasized.

Iz: "Yes, that's how it is..."

Iz repeated what Lu Cang had said, and Kumironi told Iz to go over the details slowly.

Iz could only slow down his narration.

"That is to say..."

"Little Lu Cang was mistaken for Bai's reincarnation?"

"That's understandable..."

Although the death cultist named Mu didn't understand, Iz and Kumironi knew Lu Cang inside and out.

They knew that Lu Cang was killing ants.

Lu Cang was almost always by Izzy's side, and he absolutely had no time to commit any murders.

As for the ant and the soul.

We and the others were on our way to Knoroa, and had played on the Thousand Ant Mountain countless times.

Everyone is well aware that the soul Lu Cang obtained is extremely special.

Moreover, the promotion to Level 2 Death Priest was witnessed by everyone.

In everyone's eyes, Lu Cang can be considered open and honest.

Although there are quite a few secrets.

But he's definitely not some wicked person.

Moreover, regarding secrecy...

Iz, Kumironi, Akari, and Obades—each of them harbors a secret.

For example, why can Kumironi cleanse spiritual pollution?

Iz's magical talent.

Red has become an excessively powerful force.

Why is Obades a chef?

"The fact that Lu Cang told us about this, especially wanting to tell you, Kumironi, suggests that he didn't intend to do anything bad."

"Kumironi, what do you think?"

"This should be an opportunity to infiltrate a mole within the Church of Death... and a mole at the bishop level is not an opportunity that comes around often."

Kumironi pressed his temples.

"But Lu Cang is still a child."

Iz said, "He is already a renowned and powerful figure on this continent."

"Moreover, this might be an opportunity that Lu Cang can take advantage of."

Kumironi looked at Lu Cang: "Lu Cang, what do you think?"

“I think the evil deeds of the Church of Death are too heinous. If we can understand their movements from the inside and even control their actions, it would be a good thing.”

“I am also willing to cooperate with Sister Kumiloni’s actions.”

Lu Cang continued, "If all goes well, the Death Church's actions will no longer be a secret, and their every move will be under our surveillance."

Kumironi: "Well, let's draft a plan like this first."

"I'll arrange to meet Mu tomorrow to discuss the matter of him joining the church."

Kumiloni: "You need to be careful."

Iz nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will protect Lu Cang in secret."

……

The decision has been made.

Lu Cang didn't wait until the next day; he went directly to the White Pagoda.

Mu has been on the third floor for some time now.

However, he never made any proactive contact with Lu Cang inside the White Pagoda.

Lu Cang picked up a book related to thanatology and calmly walked to Mu's side.

"Senior Mu, I've heard you're a master in the study of death... I'd like to ask you some questions about this subject."

late at night--

Lu Cang and Mu met in a private room at the Grand Library of Knoloa.

"Lord Lu Cang."

"Did you summon me this time to respond to my suggestion last time?"

Lu Cang nodded slightly.

With a single finger raised, ten thousand supreme and pure souls emerged from his fingertip and surrounded Lu Cang.

Lu Cang crossed his legs and lay back in his chair.

Looking down at Mu, who was kneeling on one knee, not daring to raise his head.

What you said is indeed quite interesting to me.

"It's fine to sit in this seat and have some fun."

Lu Cangxiao retracted the soul into his small hand and said in a childish, flippant voice, "I agree."

Lu Cang asked lazily, "But is this position of bishop something you can simply promise with words and it's done?"

"No, Your Excellency, the church is not something I can decide on my own."

"But I'm sure that the other elders in the church will all worship you as Lord once they see your great power."

Lu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, I have to prove myself?"

"Don't dare!"

"But if Your Excellency wishes to assume the position of Holy Church Master... you will still need to meet with the other elders."

Observe the mental fluctuations emanating from the other party.

It certainly doesn't seem like he's lying.

I might as well go with it; it shouldn't cause any problems.

Anyway, Izzy is protecting me in the dark.

"It's fine to meet, when do you plan to come?"

"I have already made arrangements with several other elders in private. As long as you are willing, it can be done at any time..."

"Then, let's do it now. I'll wait for you here to see me," Lu Cang said calmly.

"As ordered."

Mu did not make any excuses to refuse, but accepted Lu Cang's order.

Step back.

Before long, one figure after another quietly appeared in the large library.

A man without a face.

A man with only one arm.

A woman whose face is located on her chest.

One of them was the old man from the White Pagoda, Mu.

"These are the four elders you were talking about?"

Lu Cang maintained the same posture as before, looking at the four people who arrived with an indifferent attitude.

"twilight."

"The guy you're talking about, is it him?"

"Isn't this Lu Cang, the guy who's been all over the news lately?"

Ha... What do you mean by "spreading everywhere"? Am I some kind of scandal?

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you spout such nonsense in front of the embodiment of white?"

Hearing Mu shout like that, the man with only one arm felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.

However, when she turned her head, she saw Lu Cang's eyes.

Yet I felt a chill.

He then suppressed his temper and turned to Lu Cang: "Elder Mu said that you are the embodiment of pure white walking among mortals..."

Lu Cang revealed a condescending, mocking sneer.

It's as if they're laughing at the ignorant.

The one-armed man felt a surge of anger, but the next second, he saw Lu Cang raise a finger at him.

"You have displeased me."

"die."

Lu Cang pointed his finger, and in an instant, thousands of souls converged!
In an instant, a million souls coalesced into a cage.

"Soul-Binding Cage (Tier 4) (LV: 301)"

"Sacrifice of souls - 200 million"

call!
The souls seemed to solidify into a tangible form! Every soul was supremely sacred!
A cage is formed.

In an instant, the one-armed man was locked inside!
This is an ancient imprisoning magic that Lu Cang secretly learned from a forbidden book. It doesn't have any complicated effects; it simply means that the more souls sacrificed, the harder it is to break the cage.

At the same time, all means of change and spatial movement will be restricted inside the cage.

And a prison where two million souls were sacrificed.

It's beyond what a level 5 professional can break.

Lu Cang casually flicked his wrist.

Several sound-isolating spells also enveloped the room.

"No!"

"Lord Lu Cang! No—the great Bai!"

"I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have offended you!"

Feel yourself enveloped by a vast and powerful soul!

The one-armed man finally realized the fear! These were souls that were once so rare to encounter, yet this child could control so many of them!
That is enough to prove His identity!

How could a normal magician possibly possess so many pure souls!
"No! I was wrong!"

"Please spare my life! I can do so much for you!"

"I'd give my life for you..." (Buzz)

However, he saw several faint rays of light, each gathering a soul, appear.

Implosion

Swish!
Lu Cang restricted the area of ​​the explosion layer by layer, enveloping it within multiple layers of protective and binding magic!
An explosion that sacrificed two hundred thousand souls.

They were confined to a small cage.

boom!
A slight muffled thud reverberated within the cage.

Not even a single sound of the explosion escaped from the room.

Once the cage is opened and the restrictions are lifted.

The one-armed man has vanished, leaving only ashes and smoke.

Lu Cang's gaze swept indifferently over the remaining three people.

"But you still have questions?"

"Do not……"

"We have no doubts."

Mu lowered his head, and the other two also bowed their heads to Lu Cang.

Disdain for life...

The casual attitude towards death.

And, tossing away two million precious souls so casually.

The entity before us doesn't care about any Church of Death; it might just be playing around.

However, the Church of Death is personally led by the incarnation of the White.

That is the real church of death.

Regardless of what their intentions may mean, all they need to do is pursue them.

As for the authenticity of his identity...

Ha, I really can't think of anyone other than the real Bai who could casually use so many precious souls, just like throwing them away as if they were roadside weeds.

"Heh...it seems no one has any objections."

Are there any other procedures?

Lu Cang's tone remained indifferent and flat, with a slight hint of impatience.

The remaining three couldn't help but feel uneasy.

It seemed that if there were any more tedious and impatient procedures, they would just kill him.

"No, no more."

"Alright, remember, don't reveal my identity to anyone."

Lu Cang's tone remained nonchalant.

But it subtly exudes an unassailable majesty.

"twilight."

"Where is the church's base now? I'm quite interested."

Mu bowed deeply to Lu Cang: "I will show you the way."

……

Lu Cang followed Mu.

Once outside, Lu Cang's aura shifted from that of the arrogant and domineering incarnation of Bai to that of an ordinary child.

Mu Suan roughly understood.

The cult leader's disguise in the outside world is that of an innocent child.

As expected of the cult leader, what a brilliant disguise.

How could an ordinary person have imagined that an ordinary little child would be the embodiment of white?

It was also thanks to his own efforts in pursuing the path of death that he refined his eyes, allowing him to see more of the essence related to death.

Otherwise, we might not have been able to discover the existence of the cult leader.

To be unaware of God's presence is undoubtedly a great blasphemy.

It is still late at night.

The Church of Death often operates at night.

They've gotten used to it by now.

Mu led Lu Cang to the edge of the city wall, but this was not the location of the city gate.

He walked directly toward the city wall.

They passed through the city wall with ease.

Lu Cang scanned the area with his senses and discovered that a passage had been dug into the city wall, but it had been concealed using illusion techniques.

Lu Cang followed Mu into the city from inside the city wall.

As Lu Cang passed through the thick city walls, his senses inevitably swept left and right towards the interior of the walls.

Fortunately, the wall was solid.

No monsters were found hiding inside the walls.

After leaving Knoloa, we flew westward.

Lu Cang's speed truly surprised Mu.

He, a level 5 trickster, was far slower than Lu Cang, a level 3.

As expected of the embodiment of white.

If he were not an incarnation of a god, there would be no way to explain why Lu Cang would possess such immense power.

Think carefully.

I heard that the one who transferred the bishop's position was the high priest of the Temple of Life, Cumelloni.

Thinking about it this way, doesn't that mean even the Temple of Life is being manipulated by the bishop?
In addition, it is said that Lu Cang has a close relationship with Izparut and others.

What a grand strategy!

Unbeknownst to them, so many hidden schemes had been laid.

Upon closer examination, one will discover that these hidden techniques are incredibly ingenious.

Without a sound, this lord had already taken control of the entire Knoroa, and even the Kingdom of Loren.

But why did he allow Izzy and the others to kill the old cult leader?
Could it be that the old cult leader betrayed the Holy Church?

No... the old cult leader hoped to create a white descent, but this great one has already descended.

The old cult leader's performance of the ritual might expose the existence of this great man.

Did he kill the old cult leader to prevent his plans from being ruined?

Although it sounds absurd.

But considering the adult's disregard for life, it seems somewhat reasonable.

It is only natural that the actions of an incarnation of God are unpredictable and cannot be foreseen by ordinary people.

Feeling displeased, he simply killed him.

However, even with this capriciousness, there are still many ways to control the overall situation.

I'm truly...impressed.

The former bishop was perhaps just an insignificant pawn to him.

Indeed, in God's eyes, what is a mere sixth-level bishop in the Ruilen region?
"arrive."

Dusk descended on a desolate plain.

Lu Cang also landed here, and after scanning the area with his senses, he already knew the situation of this place.

Hidden underground passages in the vast wilderness?
The magic used to hide this stronghold is a ritual performed by a sorcerer.

A sorcerer is skilled at setting up rituals and casting spells, primarily using curses, pain, disease, and mental attacks.

I'm actually not very good at head-on combat.

Instead, they excel at planting curses in the shadows, and are not only capable of fighting, but also possess a slight ability to craft evil items.

It is a profession with strong overall capabilities in terms of evil attributes.

Most professions involving secret exams are rare.

This does not necessarily mean that it is better than mainstream professions.

If I had to be strong, I'd only be slightly stronger...

Only those unique, secret scroll professions that are difficult to change to are universally recognized as being in a higher tier.

Unexpectedly, there was a base in this place.

Moreover, it must be a headquarters-level stronghold, otherwise he wouldn't have brought me here.

Indeed, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Lu Cang casually tossed a few demon corpses outside.

Material to be exchanged for death.

Mu was somewhat familiar with Lu Cang's cautious demeanor in public.

Enter the secret passage and pass through the deep, dark corridor.

Then a huge underground palace appeared before Lu Cang.

"My Lord, to be honest..."

"Now, only one-tenth of the Holy Church's strongholds remain, and even its largest headquarters has been destroyed."

"Moreover, it was Izparut and his group who did it."

Mu spoke in this way in order to indirectly obtain some information from Lu Cang.

However, Lu Cang simply replied indifferently, his voice cold: "What, you want to guess my intentions?"

Tens of thousands of souls emanated from Lu Cang's body and swirled around him.

Mu's body suddenly trembled.

He shook his head vigorously.

"Don't dare!"

Lu Cang walked slowly forward, accompanied by his soul.

My senses have already swept over every corner of the palace.

“I have my own reasons for doing things.”

“Your actions are too ostentatious, and the Church of Life has already seen them.”

"Such a secret message was left behind and discovered by the Church of Life."

"The secret has been uncovered... so who can we blame?"

"You acted so recklessly, are you going to blame me for not stopping Izparut?" Lu Cang's words were authoritative without being angry.

"Do you expect me to reveal my whereabouts just to protect the mess you left behind, that little bishop?"

Mu was sweating profusely and immediately knelt down.

"No, dare not!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Your plan is a hundred times more important than the life and death of the previous leader!"

Lu Cang suppressed his slight anger and said calmly, "It's good that you know."

"However, now that I have taken over this church, you can rest assured."

"It's not impossible for me to come and play with them."

With Lu Cang's promise, Mu finally felt at ease.

It seems that His Excellency the Bishop is not entirely indifferent to the survival of the Church.

He's getting serious.

"Where is the place where I tell you to store the treasure?"

"I'd like to see what you've actually accumulated over the years."

Mu bowed his head and led the way: "Your Excellency, please follow me."

"We have devoted ourselves to the Holy Church for a thousand years, and although it has been damaged by those despicable fellows, its foundation remains."

"The most precious treasure of my church is here, perfectly preserved."
