"My sister-in-law is fine. When the central tower began to collapse, she took advantage of the chaos to join the Magical Unification Association. Although everyone was panicked at first, everyone felt more at ease after my sister-in-law showed up."

"Also, Ivan took advantage of the collapse of the tower to release the previous batches of people captured by Laplace. Before releasing them, he asked his sister-in-law to activate the mind beacon you left behind to control their minds, and then let them join his own forces." The yellow-haired man reported the current situation outside to Rhine.

Ivan: "Sorry, I was busy because of a sudden change of plan. Now those who were released should have reunited with their organization. I asked them to unify their statement that they were trapped in the tower before, and now that the tower collapsed, they have a chance to escape."

"After all, it's been hundreds of years. In order to make them more valued by the organization, I also asked them to bring some of the garbage you left behind. I think the function of offering treasures will help them integrate into the current organization faster."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The plan has been changing since it began to be implemented, which really makes it difficult for Ivan. Thanks to his strong ability to adapt to emergencies, the plan was able to continue.

After these brainwashed people returned to their forces, they made up for the weakness of Rhine's forces in terms of intelligence.

Although Susanna of the Kingdom of Solcière is indeed very capable in intelligence, it is still unrealistic for her to organize an intelligence network that can infiltrate the major world hegemonic forces. Therefore, Rhine plans to give her a ready-made intelligence network, believing that these insiders can play a greater role in her hands.

Yellow Hair: "By the way, Boss, how are you doing? Laplace told me that it has lost contact with the clone attached to you."

"It was fine when I came here, but I can't go back."

"Huh? What do you mean you can't go back?"

"It's okay. Tell Natasha not to worry and not to come to me. Ask her to protect my aunt and everyone in the Magic Integration Association. I always feel that there is more to this matter than meets the eye." Rhine instructed.

He had a hunch that the High Elves' plan was probably not that simple. It was impossible for them to believe everything the Dragons said. If it was really that simple, how could they have been passed down since the Age of Gods and created the Age of High Elves.

At least he has discovered four plans of the high elves now. The first is the obvious line of Natasha; the second is the hidden line of the reincarnated elven girl; the third is the branch line of the Goddess of the Sky; and the fourth is the branch line of the egg of the Sky Silver Dragon Emperor.

The first three layouts were so grand, it didn't make sense that the fourth layout would be so lame. Most importantly, Laplace, the divine elf who was in charge of the park's management, didn't know what was hidden under his butt. Was it because of different responsibilities, or did the high elves not intend to tell "Natasha", the successor?

Because if there was no Dragon Bishop, Natasha would not know that there was a Skysilver Dragon King's egg underneath, so Rhine had a premonition that there might be more unexpected changes next.

"Got it. I'll tell my sister-in-law."

"But is it really okay? If not, we can just ask someone else. It won't be embarrassing."

"Go, go, go, and wait until I can't beat you anymore."

He keeps asking people to do something every day, which makes him seem like he is in trouble.

Chapter 252: Parting Ways

During the time when Rhine was "distracted", the people trapped in the underground space tried to use force to open up a retreat.

But unfortunately, no matter how they attacked, even with the use of divine arts more advanced than forbidden spells, the wall remained motionless.

The reason is that these walls don't seem to be ordinary walls. They are like a sponge with great elasticity. Even the most powerful attacks will be absorbed by the walls.

After several rounds of repeated attempts, everyone finally gave up the plan of breaking through the wall and returning the same way.

It’s not that they are hiding it, but it really doesn’t work.

Because except for the killer move to save their lives, they have tried all other means. It is obvious that the "terrain" here cannot be destroyed by a Half-Step God.

“Let’s stop. All our attacks have been absorbed by the wall. There’s no point in going on. We might as well save our energy for the next challenge.” Someone who is half a step into the divine realm spoke.

"What kind of a hell of a place is this? It can even trap someone who is halfway to becoming a god."

“Do you really think that a Half-Step God Realm cultivator is invincible? There are many places in this world that can trap a Half-Step God Realm cultivator.” Baal replied.

"By the way, can you contact people outside?" Li Jianxian asked everyone with a serious face.

"No, I can't contact you at all."

"Not only that, even the space has been blocked. The few teleportation talismans I brought with me have all turned into pieces of waste paper."

"Bishop Cade, I remember that your church has a special method of communication, right? Is that not possible?" someone asked curiously.

The church’s special method of communication is actually prayer. The bishop can establish a channel of faith between him and devout believers through prayer.

The power of faith can ignore time and space, and ignore distance; as long as the believers' faith is firm enough and their prayers are sincere enough, they can still convey their thoughts even across the vast distance of time and space.

Gods need faith, but it is impossible for Gods to respond to every believer's prayer, let alone not respond. Therefore, Gods need spokespersons to help them deal with some trivial matters. This is the essence of the birth of the church.

In fact, the "miracles" that most believers talk about are not true miracles, but miracles performed by the church.

For example, the child of a devout believer falls ill, but because he has no money to see a doctor, he can only pray to God for the child to recover.

If the desire is strong enough, the church, which is entrusted with the function of an agent by God, will be able to receive it.

The church will then send the clergyman closest to the believer to provide treatment and inform her that the gods were moved by her piety and sent down a revelation to the church to help her.

With such a mature system of faith harvesting, how could the church fail to win the support of the people?

"I'll try." Templar Cade closed his eyes, clasped his hands together and began to pray devoutly, hoping to establish contact with the church.

While Cade was praying, everyone was taking the time to recover from their previous consumption.

"Hey, was there an organization called the Church during the High Elves Era?" Rhine whispered to the elven girl beside him.

"There was, but it disappeared later." The girl thought for a moment and replied.

"What do you mean?"

"People in that era didn't need gods, or it could be said that gods had no meaning to exist, so the church naturally had no meaning to exist either." Although she only had a vague impression of it in her memory, the girl naturally revealed an expression of pride.

"It seems that it was indeed a very brilliant and prosperous civilization." Rhine sighed.

When a society or even the entire world no longer needs the existence of gods, it means that the material productivity of civilization has been completely liberated, and it will be an ideal world of universal peace and harmony.

"Thank you." The girl gladly accepted Rhine's compliment, but at the same time she said with some disappointment: "It's a pity that no matter how brilliant a civilization is, it will eventually come to an end."

"The world has remained the same for thousands of years, but human life is like dew and bubbles. Eternity is out of reach. But no matter what, the flower of civilization in the High Elves Era once bloomed, didn't it?"

"Are you trying to comfort me?"

"You can think so if you want. I wonder if you have heard of a prophecy that has been circulating among the people for a long time." Rhine changed the subject.

For the young girl in front of him, the fall of the High Elves Era was a bit too heavy a burden. After all, that was the glorious era she had created.

"There are quite a lot of prophecies circulating among the people. Which one are you talking about?" the girl asked curiously.

“The most famous one.”

"You mean that under the leadership of the prophet, there will be an era in the future that is even more brilliant than the era of the high elves?"

"Ah."

"and then?"

"That's me."

"Puchi..." The girl couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

The others looked over in confusion. How could anyone laugh in this situation?

"I saw the atmosphere was a bit tense, so I told her a joke to ease it." Rhine explained first.

"President Wiseman, I hope you can respect others when they are praying." The Templar of the church said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay okay."

"Aren't you afraid of hurting Natasha by doing this?"

There was another voice in Rhine's mind, it was Beatrice who was standing next to him.

"What?"

"You keep her by your side and try to make her happy. Could it be that you have fallen in love with her?" Beatrice looked into Rhine's eyes and whispered.

"Wow, don't talk nonsense. I just met her yesterday, and we are not even ordinary friends. Besides, not only did I keep you by my side, I also protected you before. So does that mean I like you too?" Rhine complained.

"Let me make it clear first. You can like me, but I won't respond to you. Let's just be ordinary friends." Beatrice replied.

"Hey! I'm just giving you an example. Do you really think I'm a playboy who falls in love with every girl I meet? No, I'm still a young kid. It's too early for me to get into relationships."

"So in your eyes we are not even ordinary friends? That's really sad."

Just as Rhine and Beatrice were arguing, Elesis's voice suddenly rang in their minds.

"Oh my god!" Elesis' sudden frequency change scared Rhine so much that he shouted out subconsciously.

"President Wiseman, please remain quiet while others are praying," the church's female bishop reminded.

"Sorry sorry."

Beatrice also looked confused and shocked.

Because her mental dialogue with Rhine is directional, it is equivalent to a private chat with Rhine, and there is no possibility of a third party.

What's more, with her mental power as a peak wizard at the half-step to the divine realm, it was impossible for her to be eavesdropped on, because in this world, apart from the wizards at the divine realm, no one's mental power was higher than hers, not even Natasha, so Elesis's intrusion caused such a big reaction from the two.

"Can you hear the mental conversation between me and her?" Rhine asked in shock.

"sure."

"Is this your ability or what?"

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but in today's terms, it should be considered my protection, right? [Listen to the Voices of All Things], which allows me to hear the voices of all things in the world, whether visible or invisible, living or non-living, including the voices of the heart, so it was natural for me to hear the conversation between you and her." Elesis explained.

After listening to Elesis' explanation, Rhine felt relieved. If it was a power like [Divine Protection] granted by the world, then it could indeed be unreasonable, just like the Divine Protection of a certain red-haired swordsman.

"Protection, then what exactly is my protection?" Rhine muttered.

There is no such thing as abandoned people in this world. Even "waste" will have a protection, so it is very unusual for Rhine to have no protection. He can only comfort himself by saying that the stronger the protection, the longer it will take to awaken.

"It seems necessary to go to the Silver Moon Forest to receive the baptism of the World Tree."

He learned from Elesis that the World Tree Baptism of the Silver Moon Elves can not only speed up the awakening, but also give birth to new protection. And he fought for 6 places, just enough for him, Irena, Hedgehog Head and Yellow Hair to go together.

"Then can you hear the secret words of the church?" asked Beatrice.

"Yes. For example, he is now reporting the situation here to the church headquarters, and hopes that the church can send at least one more god-level person over." Elesis said, pointing at Bishop Cade who was praying.

"Awesome! If you can even listen to people's thoughts, doesn't that mean that everyone has no secrets in front of you? After all, you can even hear the thoughts of those who are half a step away from being a god." Rhine asked curiously, wondering if she could have read his mind as well.

"I can only hear the voices of people whose realms are lower than mine. I can't hear the voices of people at the Half-Step Divine Realm. I can only hear the voices after they output. For example, I can't hear people like you who are protected by unknown artifacts."

After listening to Elesis' explanation, Rhine and Beatrice both breathed a sigh of relief. The skill of reading minds is really terrifying. Who doesn't have a secret in their heart?

After Bishop Cade finished praying, everyone gathered around him again.

"How is it? Can we contact the outside world?" someone asked impatiently.

Although there is a cave leading to an unknown area in the cave, everyone knows that it must be very dangerous there, and they will not enter it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Unfortunately, we can't get in touch either. It seems that this space has completely isolated us from the outside world." Cade said with disappointment on his face.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a big liar. He clearly has established contact with the church but he says he doesn't." But Rhine did not expose them.

As for why I lied? Of course, it was to trick them into continuing their exploration.

"What should we do then?" everyone asked with a worried look on their faces.

"We have no choice but to keep moving forward and see if there are other exits in the cave." The Templar of the church echoed.

"Why do you look like someone in your family has died? Fighting against the legendary gods!!! My blood boils just thinking about it." Bal said excitedly.

"Do you think we are the same as you? We haven't lived long enough." The dwarf half-step god-level warrior retorted. It seems that he is still a little upset about what happened before.

"Stop arguing. Those who want to stay can stay and wait for rescue. Those who want to explore can just keep moving forward." Li Jianxian said.

"That's a good idea, but I'd like to modify it a little."

"What does President Wiseman think?" Everyone asked hopefully. It would be best not to meet the guardian beast of the divine realm if possible.

"Have you forgotten the original purpose of my coming to this secret place?"

"You mean... that legendary ancient dragon?" someone responded.

"Exactly. Natasha and I came here before the seal was lifted."

"She said that she sealed the ancient dragon in this cave more than 400 years ago, and the dry depression next to it was the small pool that contained the fluid of life."

"But when we got here, we found that the ancient dragon was gone. Fortunately, Natasha left a mark on the ancient dragon. We wanted to follow the mark, but we found that the mark was behind the cave."

"But at that time, the seal had not been lifted. The entrance to the cave was blocked by a magical barrier. If you want to go in, you must first lift the seal. That's how you all know what happened later."

"Although Natasha is not here, I also know how to sense the mark. We can definitely find the ancient dragon through the mark."

"President Wiseman, isn't that your purpose? What does it have to do with us?"

They understood Rhine's plan, which was not to look for the Fountain of Life, but to look for the ancient dragon first. After all, the dragon had lived here for hundreds of years and was considered half a local.

With the guidance of the locals, they would know how to answer questions without being confused.
