Chapter 659: Divine Secrets

On the barren land, the biting cold wind howled.

There is a square formation on the left and right sides, one of which is flying a black flag and all the soldiers are wearing pitch black armor, representing Dylan, the new king of Kaiyuan Kingdom.

On the other side is Edgar's army.

Edgar, who had surrendered to the Green Tree God Gion, did not personally join the battle. The army was mainly composed of giant tree believers. In other words, those soldiers who were loyal to Prime Minister Edgar had already become the Green Tree God Gion. Weng's followers.

The believers of the Giant Tree Church all wear armor coated with green juice.

A flag painted with a giant tree pattern rustled in the cold wind. It was held by a bishop who had turned into a tree demon. His whole body was covered with vines and plant roots. Only one pair of eyes were as red as blood. .

"Great warriors!"

The Bishop of the Giant Tree made a high-pitched voice and roared, "Those heretics of the Church of the Night have seized our home and massacred the people of Lord Gion, the God of the Green Tree."

"To protect the glory of the God of Green Trees, we must take revenge!"

Following the shouts of the giant tree bishop, the soldiers behind him all fell into a state of fanaticism. Bark-like lines grew on their skin, changing under the influence of the power of the green tree god.

The first era of antiquity, the era when gods ruled.

Ge Weng, the god of green trees, is an out-and-out benevolent god. His body is an ancient tree. After merging with the divine fire, he gave birth to his own will. When he sees humans lost in the forest, he will take the initiative to provide guidance. .

It is precisely because of this that some human tribes became believers in Geon.

Strictly speaking, Gwen did not establish his own church, and he did not fully demand from his believers. Instead, like a father, he gave his followers selfless care and even treated injured humans.

But no one knows what happened during these eras.

The once kind-hearted God of Green Trees, Gwen, has now become an evil god. His attitude toward humans is no longer as gentle as before, but his methods are extremely cruel. Even his own believers can devour them at will in order to regain their strength.

On the other side of the wasteland are the followers of the goddess of the night.

Praying for nearly half a month, no response was received from the Night Goddess, but not long ago, the Night believers witnessed the coming of the will of the weeping goddess Helaya and helped them solve the crisis of the Giant Tree Church.

This incident spread quickly, and the Night Cultists cheered.

They knew that the goddess had not abandoned them, and their faith became stronger. Under the orders of the weeping goddess Heraya, they provoked this war of faith, with both sides fighting for their gods.

Behind the Night Cultists is Lighthouse City.

Today, this place has been occupied by the Church of the Night. All things related to Gwen, the God of Green Trees, have been burned, and the fanatical giant tree believers have also been slaughtered.

The believers who had gradually accepted the God of Green Trees were forced to change their beliefs.

"The long night is coming, but faith endures!"

The Bishop of the Night held the First World War oil lamp high and said in a deep voice, "The souls of believers who have been bewitched by Gion, the god of green trees, have fallen. We must purify them in order to obtain the protection of the goddess."

"Fight! People of the night!"

"Don't be afraid of death, the goddess of the night is always watching you. Even if we die gloriously, our souls will return to the goddess's arms!"

There seemed to be a hint of magic in the voice of the Night Bishop.

A touch of black appeared on the bodies of the believers, as if they had gained infinite power and stood firmly on the earth.

At the same time, on the tallest building in Beacon Town.

Enzo looked down. A war of tens of thousands of people was about to begin. After the mortals in the abandoned land ushered in the era of faith, they had already had many battles of faith. Compared to the wars for wealth and women, for the people who were firm in their hearts, Fighting for the sake of faith will inevitably be more tragic.

There was little exchange between the two sides, and the battle soon began.

The Church of the Night has a numerical advantage and has the Lighthouse City behind it as support. The soldiers sent from Kaiyuan City are also the most elite troops under the new king Dylan.

This is the first official war between Prime Minister Edgar and the new king Dylan.

Although the original Prime Minister Edgar occupied five cities in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan, he had always been known as a usurper because he had no royal blood. But now it is different.

After the spread of the belief in Gwen, the god of green trees, the divine right of kings has become the deepest will of the people.

The royal family is no longer superior.

Only those chosen by gods can be qualified to become kings, but which god will become the only one in Kaiyuan Kingdom is still unknown.

On the desolate land, fierce fighting has begun.

Compared to the Church of Night, the number of giant tree cultists is not large, but their ability to transform into tree demons is very powerful, especially in open fields, they display amazing combat effectiveness.

There was a trace of blood red in the distant sky.

The sun is setting and dusk is approaching. The believers of the goddess of the night can only exert their strongest fighting power under the cover of night. And now, there is at least an hour left before the long night.

According to the original plan, the Church of the Night planned to stick to Beacon City.

But this plan was quickly rejected due to objections raised by Yala, because the Lighthouse City had just fallen into the hands of the Church of the Night, and many civilians still maintained their faith in Gion, the god of green trees.

If the giant tree believers were allowed to march to the city, the civilians in the city who still had a certain faith in the Green Tree God Ge Weng would probably have strange ideas, and even take the initiative to open the city gates to welcome the believers of the Giant Tree Church.

Therefore, the Dark Night Church decided to take the initiative to meet the enemy.

As long as they defeated the Giant Tree Church in this war, the shallow believers in the city would also be in awe of the power of the Dark Night Church, and gradually give up their faith in the Green Tree God Ge Weng and turn to the embrace of the Dark Night Goddess.

At the highest point of Lighthouse Town, Enzo had a blank expression on his face.

This battle caused by faith may be particularly fierce and cruel to mortals, but he, who has experienced many plane wars, seems low-level and barbaric.

The believers of the two churches all possess extraordinary powers.

But among them, the most powerful bishop has just reached the level of a first-order life form, and he has not cultivated himself, but has been given power by the gods he believes in.

The reason why Enzo pays attention to this war is mainly to influence it.

Since it has been decided to lead out the Green Tree God Ge Weng, expelling the believers of the Giant Tree Church from the Kaiyuan Kingdom is only the first step of the plan. This war will determine whether Enzo's plan can have a good start.

Therefore, the ending is doomed from the beginning.

The believers of the Church of the Night do not know that there is Enzo behind them. Whether they can defeat the Giant Tree Church or not, they will win the war, because as long as they fall into a disadvantage, Enzo will secretly attack.

The reason why they did not interfere too much in this war is mainly because they are afraid of attracting the attention of the Green Tree God Ge Weng.

"It seems that I don't have to take action."

Enzo looked at the war on the barren land, his eyes flickered slightly, and the Night Cultists temporarily gained some advantages with the advantage of numbers.

The setting sun in the sky is crying blood.

Night is about to fall, and at that time, the believers of the Church of the Night will gain more powerful power. If the ability of the Giant Tree Church is only this, then Enzo does not need to take action at all, and the Night Cultists can win.

However, things are not as simple as imagined.

"Great Green Tree God Geweng!"

Just when the Giant Tree Church was in a slight disadvantage, the Giant Tree Bishop in a green robe suddenly opened his arms and shouted loudly, "You humble believers pray, please give me the power to kill heretics!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint green glow emanated from his body.

The bishop, who had already turned into a tree demon, had countless green buds growing on his bark-like body, which looked weird and hideous. Then, cracks appeared like populations.

Around, a group of Giant Tree believers had fanatical expressions on their faces.

As the Giant Tree Bishop emanated a faint green light, dozens of Giant Tree believers were enveloped in it. After their bodies were illuminated by the light, they began to twist and eventually turned into small tree men about one meter tall.

"Dedicate everything to the great green tree god."

Suddenly, a small tree man shouted, and then ran towards the bishop. Other small tree men also approached, climbed up the bishop with their hands and feet, and then drilled into the crack in the tree demon's body.

The next moment, a painful expression appeared on the face of the giant tree bishop.

But dozens of small tree men drilled into the body, which also caused the tree demon's body to change again. The body, which was originally three meters tall, turned into seven or eight meters tall, and the lush branches and vines formed a huge tree crown.

"Accept the trial, heretics!"

Then, the giant tree bishop made a hoarse voice, waving the vine branches like arms, and attacked the night cultists below.

In the distance, Enzo raised his eyebrows.

"Some kind of...divine magic?" He muttered to himself, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In the First Era, the gods ruled the world.

If all things want to obtain extraordinary power, they can only pray for the gift of gods. Only the most loyal believers will be given the power of gods, and at that time, extraordinary power is also called divine art.

Even the most ordinary mortals can become extraordinary in an instant as long as they accept the gift of gods.

Although this power does not belong to believers, it is used by believers.

Therefore, in order to obtain the gift of gods, believers have become more pious, and the only disadvantage of this gift is that once they accept the gift of gods, they will always be controlled by gods.

Since divine power can be given, it can also be taken back.

No believer who has obtained extraordinary power is willing to lose this power. It is precisely by this way that gods maintain their rule.

In the first era, almost no believers would abandon their gods.

Unless they are bewitched by another god, they may betray their gods in order to obtain more powerful power.

Until the invasion of the abyss demons, the original pattern was broken.

The wizard ancestor cracked the mystery of the blood of gods and demons, and used special means to strip the divine power from his body, and then opened the wizard era, and finally led mankind to another path.

It is also an extraordinary era, but it is not dependent on gods.

Wizards gradually gain extraordinary power through self-cultivation. Although this is not as convenient as the gods' granting, it is their own power, and even the gods cannot deprive them.

When the ancient war between gods and demons ended.

With the joint efforts of wizards and gods, the demon lord was expelled. The first thing the gods did after winning was not to thank the human wizards, but to start cleaning up everything impatiently.

They don't allow humans to get out of control.

All books about wizards were burned mercilessly, trying to erase the way humans control their own extraordinary powers in this way. Fortunately, the wizard civilization at that time already had the foundation and fought against the gods.

During the long war, humans were on the verge of extinction several times.

But in the end, with the battle of Heaven Mountain, the wizard civilization won, the era of gods became history, and those gods who were once high above finally ushered in the dusk.

Enzo shook his head, and a trace of emotion appeared on his face.

The era of the gods' rule has long ended, and those dark histories have gradually been forgotten by people, but now, gods have appeared in the abandoned land, and the humans here have ushered in an era ruled by gods.

The frog at the bottom of the well does not know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth.

The ignorant people were bewitched by the powerful power given by the gods. Although the abandoned land was once short of resources, it also had a knight system and a mysterious system, and people gained extraordinary powers through cultivation.

But now, everything has changed.

Since you can get extraordinary power through prayer, almost no one is willing to improve themselves through hard work. There are no formal wizards in the Abandoned Land, and with the suppression of several gods, everything related to wizards has been erased.

In the Abandoned Land today, divine arts are the source of extraordinary power!

On the barren land, the war is getting more and more tragic.

With the transformation of the giant tree bishop into a seven-meter tree demon, the previous disadvantage was instantly reversed. With his powerful personal force, the giant tree bishop killed and killed, and the vines all over the sky were waving like whips.

Swish!

A night believer was rolled into the sky, and several vines instantly entangled him. The sharp barbs grew quickly and pierced into the body of the night believer, and the blood in his body was almost drained in three seconds.

The shriveled corpse was thrown to the ground.

"Heretics!"

The giant tree bishop shouted loudly, "This is the end of your offense to the great green tree god!"

As he spoke, the vines were waving wildly.

Around them, the Night Cultists suffered heavy casualties, and even the Bishop could only temporarily avoid their sharp edge, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

"Second order?"

Above the Lighthouse City, Enzo's face showed a trace of thought. After transforming into a seven-meter tree demon, the combat power of the Giant Tree Bishop was comparable to that of a second-order life form. Although this state was extremely unstable, it could still form a crushing situation for the Night Cultists around him.
