Chapter 312: The Fear of a Demigod

Lin Yuan sat on the throne, lost in thought.

Over the past hundred years, he had deliberately allowed the 'Desire' Church to operate, after all, behind it stood the 'Desire' Mother Goddess, a powerful figure among demigods.

Theoretically, even if Lin Yuan uprooted all the spies the 'Desire' Church had placed in Dragon Mountain City, it would be difficult to provoke the 'Desire' Mother Goddess into action.

But better safe than sorry.

After all, the 'Desire' Church's people hiding in Dragon Mountain City wouldn't affect Lin Yuan. When it came to growing stronger over time, Lin Yuan had never feared anyone.

"It's time to deal with the 'Desire' Church."

Lin Yuan made a decision in his heart.

Regardless of the grudges from the original body, Longshan Yuan, or the small actions the 'Desire' Church had taken against the Longshan Family over the past century.

Lin Yuan had no reason to let the 'Desire' Church off.

Previously, Lin Yuan lacked sufficient strength. When he recovered to Tier 7, he worried that the commotion of fighting a demigod like the 'Desire' Mother Goddess would attract the attention of the Order Church.

But now.

At least in the mortal world, Lin Yuan was invincible. Even the Divine Power Incarnations of the twenty-four Main Gods were far from enough before him.

Underground in Anpu City.

Here stood a luxurious palace, where beautiful women dressed in light gauze walked together.

A short, stout man followed behind a group, his vast perception taking in every detail of the palace.

"This should be the largest new stronghold of the Desire Church, right?" The short, stout man was naturally Lin Yuan, or more precisely, Lin Yuan's Solar Nascent Soul.

The Martial Dao Primordial Spirit could change in countless ways, so Lin Yuan simply changed his appearance and came over.

To deal with the mere Desire Church, there was no need for the main body to show itself.

"Over the past hundred years, the Desire Church seems to have been doing well." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The demigod behind the Desire Church, though not a True God, had mastered some abilities related to 'desire', capable of making people feel euphoric.

With such abilities, the Desire Church had smoothly 'controlled' some high-ranking officials in Anpu City and some core members of the surrounding baron territories over the years.

The group Lin Yuan was following now were some second-generation heirs of Anpu City, coming specifically for pleasure.

"If that demigod of the Desire Church could gather the Power Of Faith, raise the divine throne, and achieve the position of True God, then all the desires generated by mortals would become the source of her faith."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

For example, the War God, one of the twelve Main Gods of the Dark Abyss, grows stronger the more intense wars and flames of battle rage in the mortal world.

Therefore, the War God constantly tries to stir up various wars in the mortal world, but the twelve Main Gods of the Ocean of Light are relatively peaceful. The Order Main God, in particular, must maintain order in the mortal world, completely opposite to the War God.

The standard for dividing the gods of the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss is not good or evil, but the type of authority and faith they hold.

The demigod behind the Desire Church advocates indulgence in desire, thus leaning towards the Dark Abyss.

But whether they are Main Gods of the Ocean of Light or the Dark Abyss, their Foundation lies in the masses and in faith.

If the masses disappear and faith is cut off, these Main Gods will also fall.

"Dear Young Masters, next I will take you inside to enjoy true bliss, so I will ask each of you for your identity and name."

A woman who looked delicate and easily aroused protective instincts in men said.

The second-generation heirs of Anpu City lined up in front of Lin Yuan nodded in agreement one by one. Some were already impatient, clearly not their first time here.

Soon.

The delicate woman came to Lin Yuan.

"This Young Master." The delicate woman carefully examined Lin Yuan, her expression slightly changing.

As the manager of the Desire Church, she basically knew all the Young Masters and young lords of the younger generation in Anpu City. Asking for identities and names one by one was just confirmation.

But now?

The delicate woman found that she did not recognize the short, stout man before her at all.

With such a distinctive appearance and build, if she had seen him once, she would definitely have a deep impression, not be as unfamiliar as now.

"This Young Master, who exactly are you, and what are you doing here?" The delicate woman's vigilance rose, but her expression did not change, trying to stabilize Lin Yuan.

The review for entering the underground palace was extremely strict; it wasn't possible to just follow the crowd.

Lin Yuan appearing here suddenly was definitely not simple.

"You don't need to know who I am."

Lin Yuan grinned, showing his white teeth. "As for what I'm here to do?"

"I'm here."

Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then said calmly: "To kill your god!"

As soon as the words fell.

The head of the delicate woman in front exploded first. Centered on Lin Yuan, in the luxurious underground palace spanning hundreds of miles, the minds of all the beautiful women exploded.

The same happened to the second-generation heirs of Anpu City who came for pleasure, and the members of the surrounding baron territories.

In less than a breath, there were almost no living people left in the entire luxurious underground palace. Among them, twelve Tier 4 Knights and four Tier 5 Great Knights all died.

"Only the deepest part remains." Lin Yuan didn't stop and continued walking towards the deepest part of the palace.

There was a special Divine Power there, resisting the coverage of Lin Yuan's world projection.

In fact, with Lin Yuan's current strength, even just a Primordial Spirit was more than enough to handle a mere Tier 7 demigod.

But in this mortal world, there was the layered Demon Net set up by the 'Demon Net' Goddess of the Ocean of Light.

If Lin Yuan unleashed too much power, he would be detected by the 'Demon Net' Goddess.

The 'Demon Net' Goddess was one of the twenty-four Main Gods, at the Peak of Tier 9, close to Tier 10. Before recovering to his Peak, Lin Yuan was reluctant to attract the attention of such an expert.

Moreover.

Once the Demon Net Goddess knew, the other twenty-three Main Gods would surely know as well.

The twenty-four Main Gods of this world, although divided into the Ocean of Light and Dark Abyss camps, all stood from the perspective of the gods and could unite when necessary.

The deepest hall.

The Divine Envoy of the Desire Church and several bishops gathered together.

"The youngest son of Anpu City's lord has been completely controlled by us. As long as we deal with the previous heirs, the entire Anpu City will become the backyard of our church."

"Also, the fifth heir of Baron Qingluan is under our control. In at most two hundred years, the fifty million square miles of Baron Qingluan's territory will also be our church's."

"Two hundred years ago, those mad dogs of the Order Church drove us from the most prosperous imperial capital to this place. One day, we will fight our way back, and my god will ascend to the divine throne, becoming one of the eternal stars in the sky."

The bishops of the Desire Church spoke with excitement. They all had the strength of Tier 6 Legendary Knights, the core power of the church.

Over the years, the Desire Church had taken root in Anpu City and its influence was growing, something the bishops had witnessed.

Although Anpu City was far less prosperous and had fewer believers than the imperial capital, it was much safer.

In the imperial capital, within the sphere of influence of the Order Church, the Desire Church was like a rat crossing the street, and any slight mistake would lead to a siege.

But Anpu City was much safer. Here, as long as they were careful and didn't act directly, it was hard to attract the attention of the Order Church.

"Unfortunately, we didn't successfully take Dragon Mountain Ridge a hundred years ago. Otherwise, Anpu City and the surrounding territories would all be ours now."

A bishop sighed and said.

When the Desire Church fled to Anpu City, its initial target was Dragon Mountain Ridge.

The Desire Church went to great lengths to control the fourth heir of the Longshan Family, planning to deal with Longshan Yuan at the time, making his death look accidental.

In at most a few decades, they would be able to control the entire Dragon Mountain Ridge.

Then, using the power of Dragon Mountain Ridge to radiate to the surroundings, the other baron territories and Anpu City would be unable to resist.

But unfortunately.

That playboy Longshan Yuan was unreasonable and turned around to become the knight Genius of the Longshan Family, causing all the early investments of the Desire Church to go down the drain.

One step slow, every step slow. Moreover, the Desire Church was unwilling to give up and specially allocated energy to try to win back Longshan Yuan.

But still got no return.

If it weren't for that Longshan Yuan, with the strength to stir up trouble in the imperial capital, how could the Desire Church have spent nearly two hundred years and still not fully controlled Anpu City?

"That Longshan Yuan, who blocked my god's path, deserves to die. When my god's glory shines over Dragon Mountain Ridge, we will make Longshan Yuan wish he were dead but unable to die."

A bishop spoke.

The Divine Envoy standing under the statue glanced at the bishops below but said nothing.

She also deeply hated that Longshan Yuan for delaying the church's precious development time.

At that moment.

The hall here suddenly began to tremble.

Strands of pink Divine Power aura began to boil, trying to protect the few people in the hall.

However, under the crushing force of an unknown power, all the pink Divine Power began to evaporate rapidly.

"What's going on?"

"My god's Divine Power barrier activated on its own?"

"Were we just attacked?"

The bishops were greatly alarmed, and even the usually calm Divine Envoy was incredulous.

This hall was the important place of the Desire Church, a place covered by the power of the Desire Mother Goddess. Even against a group of demigods, holding for a short time wouldn't be a problem.

The Desire Mother Goddess, even among other demigods, was undeniably a strong one.

But now, in just an instant, sixty percent of all the pink Divine Power had evaporated, which was terrifying.

"Hmm?"

"All the church members are dead?"

The Divine Envoy in black gauze seemed to sense something, and her expression changed drastically again.

As the church's Divine Envoy, she could sense the life fluctuations of all church members, and even the Power Of Faith they generated.

So when everyone in the luxurious palace died at Lin Yuan's thought, she immediately sensed it.

"How is that possible?"

The Divine Envoy was utterly baffled. The luxurious palace had over a hundred thousand members, including many Tier 4 and Tier 5 Knights. Even in a siege by the Order Church, they would die one by one. What was happening with them dying simultaneously in an instant?

Rumble.

At that moment.

The door of this hall suddenly burst open.

A short, stout man walked in slowly.

"Who?"

"Who exactly?"

The bishops stared at Lin Yuan in shock and anger, but the next moment, their heads exploded without any warning. Even strong Tier 6 Legendary Experts had no resistance at all.

"Respected Demigod Your Highness, may I ask what brings you here?"

The Divine Envoy in black gauze steadied herself and immediately spoke respectfully.

Being able to kill their way in so easily and kill Tier 6 Legendary bishops like chickens could only be done by a demigod of the same level as the Desire Mother Goddess.

And not just any demigod, at least one as strong as the Desire Mother Goddess.

Facing such an expert, even the Main Gods of the Ocean of Light and Dark Abyss would need to descend their Divine Power Incarnations to suppress, let alone others.

"Where is your church's god?" Lin Yuan glanced around and asked directly.

His action this time was to eliminate the hidden danger of the Desire Church, and to completely destroy it, he had to kill the Desire Mother Goddess behind it.

If the Desire Mother Goddess didn't die, the Desire Church could be rebuilt at any time.

"I do not know the whereabouts of my god either." The Divine Envoy in black gauze was slightly stunned, then continued: "But if Your Highness wishes to see my god, I can contact her for you."

"No need."

"Too troublesome."

Lin Yuan looked at the Divine Envoy in black gauze, and with a slight thought, her head also exploded.

"Karma."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, following the Karma in the void, locking onto the approximate location of the Desire Mother Goddess.

Lin Yuan had destroyed the Desire Church, killing a large number of the Desire Mother Goddess's believers and followers. Although he hadn't directly interacted with the Desire Mother Goddess, the two had generated Karma.

Using this thread of Karma, Lin Yuan could vaguely lock onto the Desire Mother Goddess's location.

Somewhere billions of miles away from the Myriad Kingdoms Plateau.

A woman in a pink dress was heading towards the Myriad Kingdoms Plateau but suddenly stopped.

"Who exactly is slaughtering my believers and followers like this?"

This woman was the Desire Mother Goddess. As a demigod-level expert, as long as she wasn't surrounded by the Divine Power Incarnations of Main Gods, she could be fearless.

"The believers and followers I painstakingly accumulated." The Desire Mother Goddess's heart bled; those devout believers and followers were not easy to cultivate.

She could sense that the church's stronghold in Anpu City had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

"Let me see who did this."

The Desire Mother Goddess followed some connection, receiving the final images her believers saw before death.

This was also an ability established through faith connection. Gods possess everything of their believers, easily able to view memories and so on.

Bang bang bang.

The Desire Mother Goddess frowned slightly.

In the few breaths just now, she had viewed the pre-death images of a large number of believers and found that they died without even seeing the enemy.

"Hmm?"

The Desire Mother Goddess immediately checked the final memories of the Divine Envoy.

To become the Divine Envoy of the Desire Church, one must be extremely compatible with the Desire Mother Goddess, and when necessary, could even become her vessel Incarnation.

Rustle.

The Desire Mother Goddess watched the memories of the Divine Envoy.

Seeing the core hall tremble, her expression turned serious.

Someone capable of shaking the core hall she had set up must also be a powerful demigod.

Finally, from the Divine Envoy's perspective, a short, stout man walked in.

Then several Tier 6 bishops died, and after the short, stout man asked a few questions to the Divine Envoy, she also died.

"This way of acting?"

The Desire Mother Goddess widened her eyes. Through the Divine Envoy's perspective, she finally saw the short, stout man act, killing the several Tier 6 bishops and finally the Divine Envoy.

"Power of the Divine Kingdom!"

"This is the Power of the Divine Kingdom!"

"This person is not a demigod, but a True God!"

"No, True Gods cannot descend to the mortal world. Is he a Main God? A Main God who overlooks mortals and gods alike?"

The Desire Mother Goddess was scared out of her wits. She immediately turned around from heading towards the Myriad Kingdoms Plateau and fled madly in the direction away from it.
