Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws
Chapter 67 Collecting Ancestral Artifacts, Digging Up the Roots
The Pope and the Holy Knights were both defeated and killed, plunging the entire Vatican into panic.
Chen Hao showed no mercy to this group of frightened birds. As he walked, he killed anyone with malicious intent and used the Six Desires Color Light to desecrate all faiths.
However, the approach should be moderate, not to allow believers to completely sink into the sea of desires and go from one extreme to another, but to restore human nature, just as he did in Jerusalem.
As for whether, after returning to normal, he might feel empty inside and, due to his long-standing worship habits, once again create idols of gods in his heart to worship and willingly become a lamb again, that is not what Chen Hao cares about.
Chen Hao also had no intention of letting go of the immense power of faith gathered within the Vatican. Using the divine realm he had created within his inner world as a container, he continuously gathered and stored the massive amount of faith power, waiting to make good use of it in the future.
Because Chen Hao had learned the essence of the Vatican tradition from the Pope and the Divine Knights, he was no stranger to how to influence and consolidate the faith power of their stronghold.
It should be noted that even the faith power wielded by the Vatican's saints and a group of young people, if slightly solidified, possesses the might of a Great Sage. This demonstrates the profound depth of faith power accumulated within the Vatican, which, if properly utilized, could be a formidable trump card.
Chen Hao also had Audrey, the former Vatican saint and now a loyal follower of desire, guide him, and along the way, he plundered all the Vatican's resources.
For example, they didn't let go of any of the specific scriptures for cultivation, the various books collected by the sect, forbidden scrolls, sacred weapons, and even the core ancestral artifacts and sacred objects with great symbolic significance of the sect, such as the Spear of Longinus and the Holy Grail. They repeated the past events of the West plundering the Central Plains, which can be regarded as karmic retribution.
Finally, inside a palace, Chen Hao discovered the ancestral artifacts of the Central Plains. There were fragments of imperial artifacts, as well as mundane objects whose symbolic significance outweighed their actual value.
Chen Hao completely disregarded the useless jade seal carved from the He Shi Bi jade after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, casually tossing it into his inner world to gather dust.
As for ancestral artifacts like the Nuwa Stone, which are carved with a human head and a snake's body and bear traces of the Great Dao, Chen Hao carefully observed them and put them away.
Although it looks like just a stone platform made of dried and hardened yellow clay, it bears traces of the Great Dao. With his talent, Chen Hao might be able to glean something from it.
Moreover, by piecing together the previously collected fragments and using the remaining traces of the Great Dao to nurture living beings, if even a trace of spirituality can be successfully generated, even without the blood of Nuwa in his bloodline, Chen Hao may still be able to gather the Dao traces and spiritual consciousness scattered between heaven and earth by the weapon master with his weapon soul, thereby allowing the fragmented spiritual consciousness of Nuwa to possess him and nurture his soul power, and there may be a possibility of revival in the future.
After storing all the ancestral artifacts into his inner world, Chen Hao looked around and saw that besides Audrey, who was following him closely, there were two winged, pitiful angels who were the guardians of the Holy Palace.
Looking at their bewildered and fearful eyes, Chen Hao didn't feel guilty. After all, according to the old pope in the original story, if it weren't for the old Taoist guarding the Central Plains, he would have already seized all the ancestral artifacts of the Central Plains.
Chen Hao was originally a rogue cultivator, so he didn't really understand the incompetence of the various Dao lineages in the Central Plains. But now that his imperial blood was boiling and the ancestral artifact was useful to him, he naturally couldn't let the ancestral artifact fall into the hands of the West.
For Chen Hao, the Western tradition is essentially still "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Even if there were no grudges between East and West, Chen Hao would still come to seize the ancestral artifact.
The same applies to the Central Plains. If any of the ancestral artifacts worshipped by various Daoist lineages contain ancient artifacts related to the Great Emperor, Chen Hao will not let them go afterward.
If the Western Daoist Alliance hadn't been so arrogant, rude, and conceited from the beginning, Chen Hao wouldn't have gone to such lengths. Unfortunately, the Iron-Headed Boy's code in "Covering the Sky" came into play.
The Holy Knight had long been doing dirty work for the Pope, dealing with all the enemies. He and the Pope were the two pillars of the Vatican, one in the open and one in the shadows.
Since this old man is an enemy, killing him is fine. Even if he might be a descendant of some ancient holy emperor, it doesn't matter. Although Chen Hao himself is filled with imperial bloodlust, he is not that interested in so-called noble bloodlines.
After all, on Earth in this universe of "Covering the Sky," whose ancestors weren't once wealthy? Even an ordinary squirrel might be born with the blood of the Kunlun Immortal. It's meaningless to talk about noble bloodlines with the Earthlings of "Covering the Sky," especially since Chen Hao is a transmigrator who was reincarnated here.
Moreover, Chen Hao also noticed that the Divine Knight seemed to be seeking death due to his Dao injury and his own inner turmoil. He had spent his entire life in darkness, and in his final moments, he only wanted to sacrifice himself to protect the glory of the Vatican and cleanse himself of his sins. He had no intention of escaping or living, and he had a kind of atonement and self-destructive mentality.
Since he suffers from Yu Yu syndrome, living is torture for him, and he can't escape the shadow of his childhood, Chen Hao, being kind-hearted, had no choice but to grant his wish.
"My Lord, are you leaving?"
Audrey gazed at Chen Hao.
"If you find it hard to leave your homeland, you can always come back for a visit in the future."
Chen Hao said casually.
After Audrey, the former Vatican saintess, was defeated by him, Chen Hao extracted the Rakshasa God's position from the Douluo God Realm.
The Rakshasa God governs evil thoughts and controls the power of extreme evil and negative emotions. The power contained in the god's position itself is insignificant to Chen Hao. However, analyzing the power of the laws contained within can provide Chen Hao with a lot of inspiration for cultivating the Great Dao of Human Desire.
After casually analyzing the inner laws, Chen Hao had already thrown the divine position into the inner world of the divine realm.
Audrey herself, having been refined by Chen Hao's Dao of Human Desire and adapted to the cultivation of the Dao of Human Desire, is already a dazzling gem, beneficial to Chen Hao's cultivation.
"The Vatican is a rare and blessed land, said to be the resting place of ancient gods. Since you have already established your divine kingdom, why not move the entire piece of divine land into your divine kingdom?"
Those who believe in you will also feel immense happiness if they could live in your divine kingdom.
Audrey said earnestly that after learning about the Inner World and the existence of the Inner World God Realm that held faith, she believed it to be a divine kingdom created by the Lord of Desire.
She was reluctant to leave her homeland. In addition, the Vatican had already been thoroughly ravaged by Chen Hao, with all the powerful figures gone and the foundation of faith shaken and disintegrated. In the future, any villain could easily occupy this place and humiliate her homeland. So it would be better to simply move the entire Vatican into Chen Hao's divine kingdom, which was dominated by desire.
People who have lost their faith and are confused about the future can also become God's chosen people again.
"Should we move the entire Vatican Holy Site into the Inner World? That's not impossible."
However, not just anyone is qualified to enter my inner world, you should know that, Audrey.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Hao nodded in agreement. He had already wiped out the Vatican's lineage, so he was already deeply offended and it didn't matter if he completely destroyed this area.
As for whether this counts as undermining Earth's foundation and destroying its ecosystem, Chen Hao felt it did, but he didn't have the idea of indiscriminately digging, destructively plundering its assets, or completely draining and emptying the Earth.
If he were allowed to dig freely, he could potentially hollow out the entire Earth, but this is, after all, his home in this life, and Chen Hao is not capable of doing such a thing.
As for the damage to the Earth's foundation caused by the excavation of the Vatican, we can simply dig up some blessed lands, mountains, and dragon veins from other planets in the future and fill them back into the Earth. Then we can gather some good things to further strengthen the Earth and make this planet truly prosperous.
However, he might not necessarily fill the hole in the West when the time comes.
"I understand, Lord. I will follow your will and choose those who are truly suitable to enter the Kingdom of God."
Audrey bowed with delight.
