Chapter 783: The Church of the Three Gods
On the planet of the God of Witch Spirits, the shadow of the God of War flashed by, and when he appeared again, he had returned to the universe.
A shadow followed him, and seeing this, he immediately asked, "My Lord, have you found out?"
"There is no clue. The host of the helmet has disappeared. I'm afraid he has left the planet." The God of War looked unhappy.
It can kill the God of Fury and his projection clones in an instant, and it also has the ability to erase the existence of gods from the source.
It was really difficult for him to screen out a target with such strength...or rather, it was difficult for him to screen out a target except for the other eleven congressmen.
But the other congressmen have no reason to protect this god of death, otherwise he would have inherited the divine power for some time and would not have been in the wandering stage all the time.
Could it be...
His expression changed slightly, and a guess emerged in his mind, the old days?
This psoriasis-like organization makes these congressmen love and hate it.
The good thing is that if one day they are removed from the position of parliamentarian, they will still have a place to go and find many people who share the same suffering.
What I hate is that the goal is to pull them down again.
"But this doesn't seem like the old way of doing things..." The God of War was also a little unsure.
In the past, they always hid in the dark and solved problems with sinister means. Head-on confrontation was not their style.
"How's the investigation into the identity of that Grim Reaper going?" he asked again.
"We're still investigating, but we can't find any information about her before she became the God of Death." The shadow beside her reported.
Although these congressmen have their own tentacles outside.
But after all, they are just earthbound spirits with limited influence. In addition, the councilors are constantly changing, and there are very few councilors who can establish large organizations in the outside world.
There is no problem in collecting general information, but it is more troublesome to search for deeper information, or information that is deliberately hidden.
This sudden accident made the God of War quite cautious, and he didn't know whether this was a plot by some gods.
If you continue investigating, you will probably fall into a trap.
But if he doesn't investigate, the death of the God of Fury will be a great loss for him.
…
Shiyu Village is the name of this village located next to a dense forest and far away from the city.
The name sounds quite elegant, as if a passing bard had racked his brains to come up with it when he had no money to pay the bill at a roadside inn.
But in fact, this village was just thought , because there are mountains behind it, and there are frequent landslides and debris falling like rain.
Although this village is remote, it is not too small and does not look very poor.
It may be located right on the border between two principalities.
Occasionally, travelers would pass through here through the dense forests and mountain roads, and the small village thus maintained just the right level of prosperity.
There appear to be about a hundred households here, with the houses scattered neatly on both sides of a small river that runs through the village.
There is a forest in front of the village and a majestic-looking mountain behind it.
The terrain on both sides of this mountain gradually becomes gentler and then suddenly rises. It should be part of a mountain range.
The small river that runs through the village runs parallel to the mountain range. It makes a bend in the distance and leads into the mountains. It looks like snow water flowing down from the mountains.
It has a high mountain at its back and faces the dense forest. Even the river flowing through the village comes down from the mountain.
It can be said that this is a rather closed place. If you want to find a place to retire, you can't find a better place than here.
It was more than half a month after Li Yu and Mo Duo got the helmets when they arrived here.
"The Church of the Three Gods..." Li Yu looked up at the other two unusually bright planets and the already extremely dazzling sun, and muttered, "Are all the dozens of nearby galaxies the territory of the Church of the Three Gods?"
"Yes, this is the target that Shane is going to attack." Modo nodded: "The Church of the Three Gods is composed of the God of Blood Mist, the Goddess of Battle, and the Goddess of Wonderful Dance. They are neutral gods."
"The three gods are quite powerful. Each of them is a high-level god. They are also good guys and never take the initiative to cause trouble."
"A nice guy..." Li Yu smiled, "In other words, a soft persimmon."
Mo Duo smiled a little after hearing this: "That's about right. This target was chosen before Xia En was attacked, but he was suddenly seriously injured by the Old One, so he had to put it aside for the time being."
"Then let's just sit here and wait for something to happen." Li Yu said with a smile.
He has no influence in the Council of Gods, let alone information channels, so it is difficult to find Shane's location.
There was a strong man in front of the village. Although he had ferocious muscles, he was actually very honest.
The talkative man quickly became friends with the other party.
The sturdy man led the two men onto the gravel road in the village. The village didn't even have a wall, only a circle of fence outside to prevent wild animals as a boundary.
There is no gate at the entrance to the village. You can enter the village by walking on the man-made road. Even the fence does not seem to be taken seriously by the villagers.
At least four or five families built their houses hundreds of meters away from the village fence, living in seclusion as if they were hermits.
Because it is close to the woods, most of the houses in the village are built with local materials and are basically all made of wood.
These houses look a bit like old wooden houses in Europe.
Thick rough wooden boards were nailed together to form walls without even cleaning off the bark, and hemp ropes and black mud were stuffed in the middle to block the wind. Most of the houses were two-story, with several wooden stairs for entry and exit.
Some houses with courtyards should belong to wealthy families, but they are casually squeezed together with the surrounding old wooden houses, and there is no discernible difference between them.
Dried skin and dried meat can be seen hanging on the eaves of almost every household.
You can also see some tools whose function is unclear but obviously have nothing to do with farm work placed under the windowsill.
That is related to hunting or leatherworking. There is not much land available for farming around this village, so hunting should be the main source of livelihood for the villagers.
The village is so rustic and simple, and the sun is setting in the sky.
It was the time when every household started to cook. Smoke was curling up in the village, and the aroma of rice wafted everywhere. Although I couldn't tell what it was, it smelled good.
On the road, you can see villagers strolling in groups of three or four, most of them are men who are waiting for dinner to be ready after a busy day at home.
On the surface, this seems to be a peaceful scene.
The three of them had not walked far when they heard a noise.
"Death to the infidels, death to the infidels!"
Many villagers seemed to have heard the signal. They quickly put down their work and headed towards the center of the village.
The originally kind expression instantly turned into hatred and disgust.
Even the sturdy man who led the way was the same. His silly smile turned into gnashing of teeth. He said in a deep voice: "My two guests, you have come at the right time. There is a scene of the execution of heretics to watch."
The three of them quickly came to the center of the village. There was no church or other special buildings as expected. This was the largest open space in the village.
It looks like a place where villagers gather and hold activities.
A statue of a goddess was placed high on a circular stone platform in the middle of the open space.
It was a statue carved from ordinary rock and looked as tall as a real person.
Although the material is simple, it is very delicate and meticulous. It is obvious that the craftsman who carved it was pious and cautious when he cut.
The statue depicts a beautiful and otherworldly woman with long hair draped over her shoulders, a kind yet majestic look, and she is wearing a gorgeous suit of armor.
This is the goddess of battle!
The gods believed in by this planet.
Under the statue of the goddess, there was a young man wearing a black robe with black lines all over his body. He was tied to a wooden stake with dry straw piled around him.
He roared, showing no fear, and shouted: "The God of Nightmares will eventually come, and the whole world will fall into the embrace of darkness!"
"The God of Nightmares is Shane..." Moduo explained to Li Yu.
"It seems that he has sent people to spread his faith secretly. With the anchor of faith, he can quickly bring this place under the pantheon of darkness."
"Nightmare... the minions and weapons of the night. Lady Night values it very much."
Li Yu watched the scene in front of him with great interest.
The fundamental reason why the parliament’s war on gods lasted so long was because of this belief mechanism.
It is difficult to transform conquering a planet into one's own belief directly. It takes time to change the beliefs on the planet.
An experienced god can complete this process in about three to five years on an ordinary god planet.
The more immature ones are, the longer it takes.
This is the core galaxy of the Church of the Three Gods. The faith is so strong that even Shane's followers appear here.
The situation on other planets is probably even less optimistic.
"That's right. Xia En was originally active in the God War with the Seventh Saint, Heer. But a year and a half ago, he suddenly rose to prominence, and Heer recommended him to join the Night God System." Mo Duo agreed with Li Yu's statement:
"After that, he quickly made great military achievements, and his status in the pantheon also advanced rapidly."
"Burn him!"
"Burn him!"
The many villagers who were watching shouted angrily, their eyes filled with rage, as if they had seen the murderer of their father.
However, Li Yu was able to find out through some sporadic conversations.
This young man with black lines all over his body is also from their village.
Maybe everyone was welcoming him with a smile yesterday, but today they are so angry that they want to burn him to death.
Even the young man's parents were among the villagers who were watching, also shouting that they wanted to kill him!
The one who presided over the ceremony was the village chief. He had a dignified expression and after a while of mumbling, he suddenly threw out the torch and said, "...May the goddess look after us..."
boom!
Flames erupted, and the man laughed miserably in the flames.
Li Yu watched this scene quietly, with the bright firelight reflected in his pupils.
In this kind of battle between gods, surrender is unlikely to occur.
Once surrendered, the life form of faith itself will be re-divided, which is no different from death.
If that is the case, then why surrender, unless it is discussed in advance.
Unfortunately, the Church of the Three Gods clearly has no qualifications to negotiate with the Pantheon of Darkness.
At this moment, Mo Duo suddenly let out a light exclamation, and a milky white light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and a thin white line penetrated into the void.
"Why do I hear the prayers of believers? There are at least more than 100,000 fanatics. How can there be so many believers when there is no preaching at all?"
She looked a little confused, but then seemed to understand and said, "Oh no, someone is using the power of faith to locate me!"
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the time and space gems moved together, forming a membrane on the surface of Moduo, instantly cutting off the connection with the power of faith.
Then, Mo Duo's expression eased slightly, and he said hesitantly: "This method of locking the gods through the power of faith is only effective within a short distance."
"But I just sensed that the distance between those fanatics and me is hard to estimate."
"More importantly, who can cultivate so many of my fanatical followers in a short period of time?"
"The God of War, Xia En, who else could it be besides them?" Li Yu directly listed two suspects.
"It shouldn't be the God of War. If he had such means, he would have used it long ago." Modo shook his head.
"Then it can only be Xia En..." Li Yu looked at the wooden stake not far away. The flames had gradually died out, leaving only a charred corpse that was almost integrated with the wooden stake.
The villagers around cheered excitedly.
"But... he acted a little too late." Mo Duo hesitated, pursing his lips slightly.
"Forget it, no matter who it is, just put it on Xia En's head. We have to do it anyway." Li Yu did not make any useless speculations and threw it directly to Xia En.
"Although the connection is only for a moment, the other party should have locked onto my position. This place has been exposed. Let's move." Mo Duo said with some worry.
"No need to move..." Li Yu rejected the proposal and said, "If it's Xia En, he will definitely not come here easily again. It's a good opportunity to lock him in as a suspect."
"If it wasn't him, he would still come. We just need to attack him according to the plan."
If you stay here and don't move, you will gain something no matter what.
"Will it be too dangerous if the Lady of Night comes..." Mo Duo was still a little worried. Li Yu's identity was too sensitive. If it was exposed, it would cause great tension in the entire Council of Gods.
"If it's just her, there won't be any problem." Li Yu was not worried about this.
Unless Lady Night goes crazy and pays a heavy price, during the war between gods, she will ask three or five congressmen to come and capture a god of death.
Moreover, even if she could invite people, it was still unclear whether they would believe her.
