I logged into the God panel.

Talking, madness, sky-piercing colorful light.

Having escaped far away, the mysterious woman standing on the ancient boat finally breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging a knowing glance with the staff-wielding figure not far away, gazing at Deer Lake in the distance.

Several figures streaked across the sky, clearly indicating that the four major churches had responded.

Zhao Baiqin, lost in a hazy dream, gazes at Lu Tianyang, who is wearing a crow-face mask, from afar.

Both sides are wary of each other.

half an hour.

"So, it can be considered... a pleasant collaboration?" Lu Tianyang said in a low voice, which was deliberately embellished to sound like the mournful cawing of a crow.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you. Goodbye, see you later."

Zhao Baiqin's voice echoed through the bizarre and fantastical dreams, becoming somewhat distorted. She was about to depart, piloting a sealed object that was sometimes a boat, sometimes a palace, and sometimes a carriage.

Before leaving.

Zhao Baiqin turned around and looked back at the man holding the cane:

"Have we met before?"

Lu Tianyang chuckled:

"A clichéd way to start a conversation..."

"Idiot!"

Zhao Baiqin turned and left, not wanting to say another word. She was too lazy to deal with these Shadow Church guys anymore... The people of the Shadow Church were simply maggots hiding in dark sewers.

Lu Tianyang curled his lip:

"They can't even take a joke... The rumors are true, the guys in the Eternal Night Alliance are immersed in all sorts of dreams every day, they really are a bunch of psychopaths and irritable maniacs."

He murmured in a low voice and quietly disappeared into the shadows.

Judging by the time, it had been almost half an hour, and his wife should be arriving at the police station soon.

only.....

What exactly is that being sitting on the throne in the spirit world?

Lu Tianyang's heart fluttered.

………………

"Beep beep beep beep!"

The phone emitted a piercing alarm sound.

Lin Shuen stood by the window, with the new semester's enrollment plan for Ether Academy placed beside her.

He looked into the distance, where it had been as bright as day not long ago, and the terrifying mental pressure could be clearly felt even from more than 20 kilometers away... Martial artists and high priests probably did not have this level of power.

They are beings at the fourth tier, the "Limit Holders" level... like bishops or inquisitors.

Lin Shu'en unlocked his phone and looked at the report, a joint warning issued by the four major churches to all extraordinary individuals in Donghai City—

The content is very simple.

The area around Luerhu Lake in the South District has been designated a Level 4 no-man's land. Anyone who enters unauthorizedly will be solely responsible for the consequences.

The radio crackled to life, simultaneously broadcasting news to the public.

"Breaking news! A nuclear fuel explosion has occurred in the Luerhu area of ​​our city. Please be aware and stay away from the contaminated area..."

Lin Shu'en's pupils suddenly contracted.

Level 4 No Life Zone!

This means that beings from the fourth tier who enter will face a near-certain death, and even powerful beings from the fifth tier will face immense, death-level danger!

"A small city like Donghai actually managed to create a Level 4 forbidden zone for life..."

Lin Shu'en murmured to himself, hesitant to open his special spiritual eyes, bestowed by the great primordial ruler, the true God.

I was afraid that I might actually be staring at something of a higher order.

Close the window and draw the curtains.

Lin Shuen shrank back onto the sofa, trying to calm himself down. He opened an old book, and then his eyes suddenly became deep.

Open... Yin Eye.

His spiritual intuition told him that this was the most fitting name.

The old man gradually relaxed, letting go of external things, and with the blessing of his Yin Eyes, he browsed through the profound knowledge and wisdom in ancient books that were usually invisible.

The three spiritual cores spun rapidly, with hidden knowledge accompanied by some soft murmurs, but still within the range of what could be accepted and tolerated.

"I'm not far from the third step..."

Lin Shuen murmured to himself:

"Praise be to the great and primordial Creator, the original sovereign of the city upon the hill, the true God who was, is, and is to come!"

…………

Deer Lake.

Sirens wailed incessantly, and a long cordon had been erected five kilometers outside of Deer Lake.

Many migrant workers were temporarily conscripted and are currently pouring cement along the cordon to build thick, high walls.

Inside the cordon.

The leaders of the four major churches in Donghai City—Sun, New Moon, Earth, and Deep Blue—have all gathered together.

They were all high priests, but because they were the highest-ranking officials in their respective churches in the city and held actual positions, they were given the title of "chief".

He was also called the Chief Priest.

"Ahem..." The chief priest of the Church of the Sun coughed and said in a deep voice, "You lived on Lake Island No. 1 and witnessed the scene firsthand. What exactly happened?"

The chief priest of the Crescent Moon Church frowned and shook his head:

"I find it hard to describe..."

The leader of the Deep Blue Church pointed to Tang Qingyang, who was standing to the side:

Who is this child?

The chief priest of the Crescent Moon shook his head, offering no reply, but gazing at the downward-curving Deer Lake and the large mass of chaotic colors at its center.

Despite being far from that mass of color, despite setting up six or seven purification arrays here, and even summoning statues of the Moon Goddess, the Sea Goddess, the Sun Goddess, and the Earth Mother,

But faint whispers still echoed in our ears—it was foreseeable that without these measures, the whispers would have already drowned out everyone here!

As for the situation in the center of the lake... well, that's unimaginable.

"One exists."

Tang Qingyang mustered his courage and spoke:

"An unimaginable being sits in the spirit world, looking down on the human world. In His eyes, all the spirits on earth seem extremely insignificant."

The three chief priests exchanged glances.

The leader of the Deep Blue Church frowned and spoke:

"Him? You looked directly at Him, yet you didn't go mad?"

"This child has a powerful background; don't resort to interrogation tactics..." The chief priest of the Crescent Moon Church waved his hand.

"I also saw a mysterious being in the spirit world, shrouded in rivers and veils, sitting on a throne. Perhaps He deliberately concealed His high position [essence], or perhaps the veil blocked it... In any case, we were not affected by any backlash or contamination."

After a moment's pause, Chief Crescent Moon recounted in detail what had happened.

After listening.

The chief priest of the Earth Church hesitated before proposing:

"Should we activate the magic array to recall the afterimage of that scene in the material world? That way, we can report it."

"No!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Foolish!"

The chiefs of the other three major churches refuted this, and the chief of Deep Blue angrily said:

"If we replicate that kind of lingering image, one wrong move and the entire Donghai City will fall, corrupted by the essence of that high-level existence!"

The chief of the land fell silent.

for a long time.

He stared with difficulty at the huge, chaotic mass of color in the center of the lake, within which he could vaguely see a distorted, frantically struggling monster—a fourth-tier limiter.

He seems to be an apostle of death.

A black book and a necklace lay scattered beside the monster. A tiny baby was nestled inside the necklace. The baby was unaffected, clearly not a living being with its own will... A sealed artifact?

"Will that monster come out? A Limit Breaker, an Apostle of Death, a Bishop," Chief Deep Blue asked worriedly.

"Once such an entity descends into madness and depravity, its danger level will rise to another level!"

"It should be fine."

The leader of the Crescent Moon spoke in a low voice:

"That chaotic spiritual energy was simply too immense..."

The four church leaders in charge of Donghai City sighed in unison, looking worried.

First, a numbered sealed artifact appeared in the northern suburbs, then a supernatural disaster of this magnitude erupted at Deer Lake, directly leading to a level 4 forbidden zone for life...

What an eventful summer!

"One last thing."

The Sun Chief looks at the New Moon Chief:

"You just mentioned that before the disaster struck, there was a mysterious woman on an ancient ship who could manipulate the power of the dream world?"

The chief of the crescent moon raised an eyebrow:

"That is indeed the case. That person's aura is as deep as the abyss. He is also a fourth-tier limit user. He is probably a bishop of the Eternal Night Alliance."

The Suns' chief seemed lost in thought, as if he were thinking of something or someone.

He turned and left without hesitation.

It seems there's something urgent.
