Chapter 313: Curse Killing

"How virtuous and able am I to actually attract a Main God to descend?"

High in the air, the Soul of the Mother Goddess of Desires trembled. The twenty-four Main Gods of the Ocean of Light and the Dark Abyss had not made a move for an unknown number of ten-thousand-year periods.

Those demigods in the mortal world who secretly spread faith were like woodworms hiding in dark corners in the eyes of the Main Gods, and a batch of them would be cleaned up every once in a while.

The Mother Goddess of Desires escaped the Order Church's encirclements and suppressions several times not because she was so powerful, but because the Order Main God didn't care about her at all.

Of course, luck was also one aspect.

"Which one of the twenty-four Main Gods is it really?"

The Mother Goddess of Desires maintained the speed of her frantic escape, her mind barely calming down.

She felt that the Main God who made a move shouldn't be specifically targeting her, but rather casually resolved the Desires Church.

"Fortunately, I didn't stay in the church."

A look of rejoicing flashed across the face of the Mother Goddess of Desires. Stay in the church and face that short, plump man directly? The Mother Goddess of Desires felt there was no difference between herself and other congregation members and believers.

"The Myriad Kingdoms Plateau cannot be returned to."

The Mother Goddess of Desires was like a startled bird. "Although the price this time was tragic, at least I survived."

The Mother Goddess of Desires had an excited expression. "Since I can survive, there is hope to gather faith and hold high the Divine Kingdom."

Anpu City underground palace.

Lin Yuan stood under the divine statue and suddenly opened his eyes. "Found you."

Through the Karma connection with the Mother Goddess of Desires, across a distance of hundreds of millions of billions of miles, Lin Yuan locked onto the approximate location of the Mother Goddess of Desires.

"Not on the Myriad Kingdoms Plateau?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. "No big problem."

As long as he used Karma to lock onto the position of the Mother Goddess of Desires, it would be easy to handle.

"Curse Killing."

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn. Following the Karma rules, tracing the fruit from the cause, a terrifying force instantly spanned a distance of hundreds of millions of billions of miles.

The curse killing technique was a certain way of applying the Karma rules.

To curse kill someone, a 'medium' was required. The 'medium' here could be an item, or it could be the Karma between the two themselves.

Secondly, the Realm of the curse killer must be at least two major levels higher than the one being curse-killed. The Mother Goddess of Desires was a level-seven demigod, and Lin Yuan's true Realm was the ninth tier, meeting the conditions for curse killing.

Finally, once the curse killing was successful, the curse killer needed to resist the backlash from the Karma rules, at least paying with sufficient Lifespan as a price.

The curse killing technique had numerous restrictions and did not appear frequently in the Main Universe Main World, mainly because the price was too high, and it wasn't a permanent kill. As long as the Aptitude of the person being curse-killed was high enough, they would still be 'resurrected' by a Supreme Powerhouse.

High in the sky.

The Mother Goddess of Desires was rejoicing that she had survived under the hands of a Main God when her expression suddenly changed wildly.

Within her perception, an invisible, formless force that she was far unable to resist descended instantly.

"This—"

Before the Mother Goddess of Desires could have any thoughts, her Physical Body and Soul together turned into powder, permanently disappearing from this world.

"Dead?"

Lin Yuan sensed that the 'Karma' between himself and the Mother Goddess of Desires had completely disappeared, confirming that the other party had completely died.

If the Mother Goddess of Desires had other life-saving means, the 'Karma' between the two should still exist. Judging whether the other party was dead through Karma was the mainstream method of Experts in the Main Universe Main World.

"Hmm?"

"The backlash has come?"

Lin Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, vaguely feeling that his Lifespan had decreased by a tiny bit out of thin air.

It was roughly equivalent to a thousand years of time.

"Curse-killing a mere tier-seven lifeform requires a thousand years of my Lifespan?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; this was indeed very not worth it.

Unless there was truly some deep hatred. But for a ninth-tier expert to kill a seventh-tier, there were too many methods and ways, and the cost-effectiveness of the curse killing technique was the lowest.

"Just a thousand years of Lifespan."

Lin Yuan didn't care at all. If it were in the Main World, he might feel bad about this thousand years of Lifespan, but in a transited world?

Under the premise that the known residency time was only one thousand one hundred and ten years, Lifespan was the most meaningless thing to Lin Yuan.

Even if he possessed a hundred million years of Lifespan, when the residency time limit arrived, wouldn't he still have to return to the Main World?

Precisely because of this, Lin Yuan used the curse killing technique on the Mother Goddess of Desires without hesitation. Anyway, the Lifespan in this world was given away for free.

"However, the level-eight deities of this world, who merge with the faith of all living beings, seem to have no concept of Lifespan?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Under the restriction of this heaven and earth's rules, tier-four and tier-five knights found it difficult to live past two hundred years, and tier-six legendary knights found it difficult to live past a millennium.

A millennium was the extreme upper limit of the Lifespan of life in this world.

As for level-seven demigods? After igniting the divine fire, the essence of life had begun to change. As long as the divine fire of a level-seven demigod did not extinguish, they would not die. Normally, a level-seven demigod could easily live for tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand years.

Although still far inferior to the tier-seven Evolvers of the Main World, compared to all living beings, it could already be called a long and enduring life.

Although a level-seven demigod could easily live for tens of thousands or one hundred thousand years, as long as they did not hold high the Divine Kingdom, they would still die.

As for level-eight True Gods, or even level-nine Main Gods, since ancient times, aside from divine wars breaking out, there had never been word of any True God dying of old age.

"The Desires Church can be considered resolved."

"It's time to go back."

Lin Yuan glanced at the surrounding grand hall, turned around, and walked out.

Striking against the Desires Church was, firstly, because of the grievance between Longshan Yuan and it, and secondly, the Dragon Mountain Ridge area was inherently the base camp and Foundation operated by Lin Yuan in this transit.

Leaving such an unstable factor like the Desires Church nearby was not right either; who knew what commotion the other party would cause, and perhaps it would attract the Order Church's attention once more.

The Order Church was the Main God's church. Before recovering to the ninth tier, Lin Yuan was not very willing to contact entities at the Main God level.

Now that Lin Yuan happened to have the strength to resolve it, he naturally wiped out the Desires Church along the way.

"Clean up all those corpses."

Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and the corpses and bloodstains inside the palace completely disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that above this underground palace was Anpu City, and any commotion would affect this prosperous city,

Lin Yuan would have wanted to make the entire palace disappear along with it.

"Almost there."

"Even if someone investigates here afterwards, at most they can only think that the Desires Church has relocated again."

Lin Yuan finally stood at the exit of the palace and looked back.

The Desires Church's whereabouts in Anpu City were covert, but definitely not without traces. Lin Yuan's action to wipe them out would definitely be investigated afterwards.

However, it could only be investigated to that extent. Lin Yuan had already fabricated the scene well, and outsiders would not imagine that the entire Desires Church and their Mother Goddess of Desires had already vanished from the world.

"Demon Net."

Lin Yuan vaguely perceived those wisps of power shrouding the heavens and earth; that was the 'authority' belonging to the Demon Net Goddess, one of the twenty-four Main Gods.

Constructing the Demon Net covering the entire mortal world, as long as more lifeforms used the Demon Net, it could provide a sufficiently huge amount of faith power for the Demon Net Goddess.

In Lin Yuan's view, the use of the Demon Net was not just for communication; it was even more the Demon Net Goddess's 'eyes'.

This time, if it weren't for the fear of the Demon Net's perception and being unable to use too strong a force, Lin Yuan wouldn't have needed to enter the underground palace personally at all.

He could have directly wiped out the entire Desires Church from the outside.

Dragon Mountain City.

Lin Yuan was chatting with his parents.

A hundred years passed, and Longshan Fang and his wife were still living well without the slightest sign of old age, which naturally could not be separated from Lin Yuan secretly nurturing them with World Power.

The heaven and earth of this side suppressed Lifespan far too harshly, but relying on World Power, Lin Yuan still had the confidence to let Longshan Fang and his wife live to the upper limit of their Lifespan.

That was the millennium that only a tier-six legendary knight could hope to live to.

As for more? According to the rules of this world, one would have to ignite the divine fire and change the life form.

However, with the Aptitude of Longshan Fang and his wife, it was obviously impossible to achieve. Otherwise, they would have to be like Lin Yuan, whose martial arts stepped into the seventh or eighth tier, which could also greatly prolong life.

But this was obviously even harder.

Just at this moment.

The Solar Nascent Soul turned into wisps of Taiyang power, returning into Lin Yuan's body.

Lin Yuan then glanced in the direction of Anpu City.

"Son, what's wrong with you?" Longshan Fang looked at Lin Yuan and asked.

"It's fine, I solved a small matter."

Lin Yuan said casually. Having wiped out the Desires Church, Dragon Mountain Ridge would definitely not have any trouble in the future, which also saved him some peace of mind.

Continuing to chat with his parents for a while,

Lin Yuan returned to the Cultivate room once more.

Swish.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit and the Solar Nascent Soul appeared opposite him simultaneously.

Sitting facing Lin Yuan.

Because he had not recovered to Peak strength, Lin Yuan did not bring the Mysterious Gourd over. The two Primordial Spirits were still in a Soul state and had not transformed into flesh-and-blood entities via the secret technique Illusory Reality.

"The current Cultivate speed is still too slow. I need to recover to the ninth tier as soon as possible, and then open up more spatial layers—"

Lin Yuan felt quite pressured inside. After all, within the Profound Yellow Secret Realm, he and Xi Lan were still being hunted down by Hun Yi. Although relying on the special environment within the Secret Realm, they were safe for a short time.

But who knew what variables and accidents would happen?

If possible, Lin Yuan did not hope for his Solar Nascent Soul to be obliterated. The sense of calling from the Profound Yellow Secret Realm still made him quite tempted.

"From the eighth tier to the ninth tier, to me, it is merely the accumulation of energy. As long as I have sufficient energy, I can quickly return to the ninth tier."

Lin Yuan glanced at the eternal stars above the firmament; those were the Divine Kingdoms of True Gods, which theoretically contained infinite energy.

But now Lin Yuan was not suitable to stand directly on the opposite side of the gods.

"It seems I can only rely on those churches." Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Churches were the spokesperson forces of the gods in the mortal world, and were also promoting faith for the gods.

Those level-seven demigods were also establishing churches, but compared to the churches of true True Gods, they were simply things that couldn't make it to the table.

True God churches possessed methods to contact True Gods, and at necessary moments could descend a Divine Power Incarnation.

Although the Divine Power Incarnation could not use the True Gods' divine kingdom power, it far exceeded level-seven demigods, enough to walk sideways in the mortal world.

However, wanting to support the Divine Power Incarnation to strike naturally required a large amount of energy, so every True God church would store a large amount of 'Divine Crystals' to summon the True God's Divine Power Incarnation to descend at any time.

In order to contend for faith, conflicts would occasionally arise between gods, and even hand-to-hand combat between Divine Power Incarnations would happen.

And Lin Yuan's target was the 'Divine Crystals' stored by major churches. This was extremely pure energy, and even purer and flawless than the Main World's 'Taiwei Pure Crystal'.

"Next, you two go and search for 'Divine Crystals'."

As soon as Lin Yuan's thought arose, the two Primordial Spirit Incarnations understood his meaning. After all, they were trinity, sharing the same consciousness, with no need for communication at all.

The two Primordial Spirit Incarnations were originally bodies of Soul, gathering and dispersing as they pleased, most suitable for this kind of action.

Anpu City underground palace.

At this moment, members of the Order Church were standing at the entrance.

"This palace should be one of the strongholds of the Desires Cult, but I don't know why, it was actually abandoned—"

A certain bishop of the Order Church frowned tightly. The Desires Cult had once caused quite a commotion in the Empire's capital, and many imperial nobles were addicted to the cult's bliss and enjoyment.

Later, the Order Church discovered that behind the Desires Cult, a demigod was secretly collecting faith, and decisively surrounded and annihilated them.

The remaining forces of the Desires Cult withdrew from the imperial capital, and over the years the Order Church had been searching for the traces of the Desires Cult. Some time ago, the commotion in Anpu City caught the attention of the Order Church.

When the Order Church came over to check, it was finally confirmed that the Desires Cult had once stayed in Anpu City.

"Bishop, it has been investigated clearly. There are no clues in the palace; the traces should have been specially cleaned up by the cult." A member of the Order Church stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Looking at it this way—"

"The Desires Cult really actively evacuated."

The bishop of the Order Church nodded slightly. The interior of the palace was simply too clean, and he had deduced that this place was the stronghold of the Desires Cult based on the murals on the walls and the remnants of certain rituals.

"It's just that—"

Bishop Ryan of the Order Church frowned slightly.

All current clues pointed to the Desires Cult actively evacuating.

But Bishop Ryan realized something was wrong: why would the Desires Cult evacuate?

Clearly, the Order Church hadn't discovered them yet, and the Desires Cult could safely hide here and slowly develop. How could they suddenly evacuate?

Bishop Ryan had dealt with the Desires Cult many times, and even back then, the encirclement and suppression of the Desires Cult was led by him.

Therefore, Bishop Ryan had a deep understanding of the Desires Cult. This was a cult with great influence, which controlled living beings themselves by mastering their desires.

The process was completely silent like moistening things with spring rain. No matter how firm a person's will was, it was very difficult to resist the 'corruption' of the Desires Church.

As long as they were assimilated by 'desires', they could provide faith for the Mother Goddess of Desires behind the cult.

If the Desires Cult and the Mother Goddess of Desires were allowed to continue developing, a powerful True God would definitely be added to the Dark Abyss.

"Just what?"

"A street-crossing rat like the Desires Cult, if they don't run, are they waiting for us to encircle and annihilate them?"

Another bishop beside him shook his head slightly and said.

"Maybe."

Bishop Ryan thought for a moment. Although he didn't understand why the Desires Cult retreated so cleanly, the brains of these cults had always been crazy and could not be viewed with common sense.

"However, since the Desires Cult abandoned Anpu City, they will definitely hide in other places. Next, we must search all regions of the Empire, striving to find the cult's new stronghold."

Bishop Ryan instructed.
