Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 360 Gods
"I'll try."
Xing Jun was helpless. He was the lord of Xingchou City, but he had fallen to the point of working for Xu Shen. He felt a little sad, but his fists were not as strong as Xu Shen's, so he could only bow his head and swallow his humiliation.
Soon, the Star God made divination predictions.
The rapid consumption of Xuli brings results to divination.
"Found it. It's over there."
The Star God pointed towards the inner city.
"Okay, lead the way, let's go."
Xu Shen said that before going to the Ruins of Sea, he had to be fully prepared. Although he had Pamira's memory of the Ruins of Sea, he had to face the dangers there with all his strength. That was why he thought of finding Hei Xue to increase his own strength.
Besides, the inner city is dangerous, so it is not a good idea for Kuroxue to stay there for a long time.
"Going to the inner city again?"
Xing Jun was obviously somewhat repelled by the Inner City. It would be much more comfortable to be a free and easy city lord in the Bo City, so he wouldn't have to see the faces of those people in the Inner City. But since he had to work for Xu Shen, he had no choice but to accept it.
Xu Shen asked Xue Haining to take good care of Guangming City, and then went to the inner city with Xingjun.
"Who are you targeting?"
"Night Rat King."
After entering the inner city, the Star God divined again and made several adjustments. Finally, he locked the whereabouts of the Night Rat King in an urban area.
This is not the city area where the seven major families in the inner city are located, but the headquarters of another major force in the inner city, the Moonlight Religion.
In a sense, the power of the Moonlight Religion even surpasses the seven major families in the inner city. Religious believers are spread across all districts and have infiltrated into various families. Even within the seven major families, many descendants have been infected by the Moonlight Religion.
Xu Shen remembered that there were at least five kings in the Moonlight Religion.
The four great bishops alone are four kings, not including the Pope and the hidden king.
"It can only be located nearby, and cannot be locked."
The direction pointed by Xingjun's divination tool was wavering, like a compass out of control. He frowned and said, "It seems that there is something around the other party that is interfering with the result. It may be that they have noticed us, or it may be a passive ability."
Xu Shen stood on the edge of a tall building, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in front of him.
In the prosperous area of this city, you can see several churches, and occasionally you can see some believers and nuns wearing moonlight robes on the streets.
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, which brought back many bad memories.
But he did not act impulsively. The seven major families might not have a close relationship with the parliament, but the Moonlight Religion must have dealings with the parliament. Otherwise, the monarch of the parliament would not allow such a force to control the thoughts of the people in the inner city.
Religious believers are sometimes even more cohesive, fanatical and terrifying than family members.
"Go see the Pope. He should know."
After a brief pause, Xu Shen said to Xing Jun.
Xing Jun was stunned and couldn't help but said to Xu Shen: "I heard that the Moonlight Pope is a dangerous person. Although he is not a monarch, he is also quite scary. The Moonlight Cult has a long history, and it seems that there is an ancient myth. It is said that there are gods in the cult. Even the seven major families dare not provoke them. We still..."
"A god is in charge?"
Xu Shen looked at Xingjun: "Do you think there are gods in the world?"
Xingjun opened his mouth slightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I think it might be true."
"If there really is a god, which side does this god stand on? Why would he allow Xu to massacre humans?" Xu Shen asked back.
Xingjun smiled bitterly: "Maybe God has no emotions and doesn't care about the slaughter of sentient beings. God is just a noun."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at Xing Jun, and said nothing.
He thought: "Anyway, let's go find out first."
Seeing that Xu Shen was determined to do so, Xing Jun felt helpless and stopped trying to persuade him.
The two of them traveled all the way and arrived at the headquarters of the Moonlight Cult.
This church is extremely majestic and impressive, like a sculptured work of art. Even building such an exquisite model is extremely complicated and difficult, let alone the magnificent and huge church entity.
There are three towering figures standing outside the church. They are the gods worshipped by the Moonlight Cult.
God, Lord of the Moon.
Divine Servant, Angel of the Moon.
Two graceful, elegant and holy angels surrounded the Moon Lord.
The Moon Lord has a compassionate face and is carved vividly, looking like a tall and strong young man.
Xu Shen took a look and felt a little awkward. He found that the two serving moon angels seemed more realistic.
On the contrary, the Moon Lord has a feeling of emptiness and falsehood.
As he gazed at them, Xu Shen suddenly felt that the two moon angels seemed to have been resurrected. There was a glimmer of divine light in their eyes, as if they were turning their heads to look at him.
The moment they looked at each other, Xu Shen felt an extremely strange feeling.
Extremely evil and extremely twisted.
The huge amount of distracting thoughts instantly hit his mind, making him feel like his stomach was twisted and he wanted to vomit.
He suddenly woke up.
It was only then that I realized that everything in reality remained the same, and everything before seemed like an illusion.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly, and he looked at the Moon Lord again, and found that the Moon Lord in the middle was like a dead stone. No matter how he stared at his face, there was no change.
Instead, he dared not look at the two angels next to him any longer.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Xu Shen saw Maeve sitting on top of Moon Lord's head, with her white and tender legs raised, and patting Moon Lord's head with a smile.
Xu Shen withdrew his gaze and thought about what Xing Jun had just said, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
Are there really gods?
He still remembered the illusion brought by the two angels. Even now , he still didn't dare to look at them any longer.
You know, now he is a king and has reached the pinnacle of humanity.
The end of life evolution.
If you go further, could you become a god?
Thinking of this, Xu Shen couldn't help but glance at Maeve.
If that's the case, then isn't Maeve a...god?
Looking at Maeve's fair, tender and lovely appearance, Xu Shen's heart suddenly softened. If there is a god, maybe she looks like this?
He took another look at the two angel sculptures next to him, but this time he found that they seemed to have become much more ordinary. It was just an illusion before. Although the angel sculptures were lifelike, they no longer had the vividness as before.
Xu Shen frowned slightly and shook his head. Perhaps it was just an illusion caused by overthinking.
Without thinking any more, he followed the Star Lord across the sculpture and entered the Moonlight Temple.
The lights in the church are bright. It is just getting dark and there are still believers gathered in the church to listen to the night prayers.
The Moonlight Cult is the largest cult in the inner city, and the main deity worshipped is the Moon Lord.
Secondly, they have their own complete mythological beliefs, such as the goddess of night, the goddess of hunting, etc., who are all servants of the moon lord, just like in some ancient myths, there are kings of gods, queens of gods, gods of love, etc., each with their own duties.
"The world is shrouded in fog, and the light of truth cannot spread across the earth."
"True life can only be seen in the loss of oneself..."
Low chants echoed in the church.
When Xu Shen heard some familiar prayers inside, his eyes changed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
As the two of them looked around, a casual voice suddenly came:
"What brings you here so late at night?"
A priest in a silver robe walked out from the depths of the church. He had a hunched body, a thin face, and eyes that reflected cold light like diamond-shaped pieces of glass.
Xu Shen glanced at the other person and found that he was not an old acquaintance.
He said calmly, "We are looking for an old friend. He seems to be hiding here. I wonder if you have seen him."
"oh?"
The priest said coldly: "We only have believers here, no prisoners."
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know who I'm looking for?"
"I don't know." The priest shook his head.
Xu Shen stopped playing charades and said indifferently: "His name is Night Rat King. He owes me something and I need to ask for it back. I hope your sect can teach him out."
"If you can be called a king, you are also a king." The priest said indifferently: "We don't have any other kings here. You two have come to the wrong place."
"Yeah?"
Xu Shen raised his hand, and with his inner strength, he absorbed a stone on the ground into his palm. Then he threw it out. With his precision ability activated, the stone would definitely hit the Night Rat King!
With a whoosh, the stone turned a corner and flew towards the depths of the church.
But it didn't fly for long before it was shattered by a force.
Xu Shen sneered and said, "It seems that the person I'm looking for is among them. Are you planning to protect him?"
The old priest said indifferently: "I said, there are only believers here, no prisoners. Do you two want to bully our believers?"
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes and stared at him: "Do you mean that as long as you enter here, you will cover up for me? As a religious person, you serve God, so don't cause trouble for your God!"
"You'd better not offend my Lord, otherwise I will have to keep you two here today." The old priest's eyes were cold and his attitude was very firm.
Xingjun's face changed slightly, and he sent a voice message to Xu Shen: "Let's go. There seems to be more than one king in this headquarters, and I always feel like I'm being stared at when I come here."
He felt that the Moonlight Cult was extremely strange and made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xu Shen thought of the strange angel he had seen earlier, and his face darkened. He looked deeply at the old priest and said, "Since the Moonlight Cult wants to protect someone, I hope you won't regret it."
After saying that, he turned and left without stopping.
Seeing that Xu Shen did not act impulsively, Xing Jun felt relieved and retreated with Xu Shen.
After leaving the Moonlight Temple, the two retreated to a tall building far away on the street and stared at the huge monster squatting on the ground. It felt like a giant beast, and the beast seemed to be staring at them as well.
"The Moonlight Cult is not simple. Even the seven major families are unwilling to provoke them easily." Xing Jun said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen thought about the time when the Jiang family was in trouble and seemed to have sought help from the Moonlight Cult, but was ignored.
He felt that the Moonlight Cult was not only backed by the parliament, but was also very secretive.
After taking a look twice, Xu Shen didn't stay any longer and turned and left.
After walking for a distance, Xu Shen asked Xingjun to continue looking for Heixue.
The Star God divined again and got the location. The two left the city and headed to another place.
"It seems that you were able to lock the position of the Night Rat King before, and more accurately than me. Is that your ability?" Xing Jun asked Xu Shen.
Xu Shen said perfunctorily: "I can only detect at close range."
"Really?" Xingjun expressed his doubt.
Xu Shen didn't explain much, and soon, the two arrived at the urban area where Heixue had located. This was the urban area where the Qin family, one of the seven major families in the inner city, was located.
Xu Shen's face changed slightly. Usually, the city areas where the seven major families were located had stricter control. If Heixue hid here, he would most likely be found.
The Star God divined again and accurately located the location, discovering that Heixue was indeed at the Qin family's headquarters.
"It seems that your Xu is being held in the Qin family." Xing Jun couldn't help but look at Xu Shen. He had gone to the Mo family to snatch people and caused a big fuss before. Now, is he going to take action at the Qin family again?
whoosh.
Xu Shen directly told Xing Jun the answer and broke into the Qin family’s main manor.
He threw the stone, locked onto Kuroxue, and found him underground deep in the manor.
"You have a distinguished guest, why don't you say hello?"
Two figures flew out from the Qin family manor, one old and one young. When they saw Xu Shen and Xing Jun, their eyes changed slightly, but their expressions remained casual.
Xu Shen asked, "Are you imprisoning an A-level Daxu, whose body is made of interwoven hair?"
"Um?"
Qin Feizhou's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "What are your names?"
"Lord of the City of Light, Xu Shen."
"Lord of Xingchou City, Lord Xing."
"So it's the two city lords of Dicheng..." Qin Feizhou couldn't help but look at Xu Shen twice. The rumors about the Han family some time ago were still reverberating in the inner city. It was heard that something happened to the Mo family as well, and it was related to the Lord of Guangming City. The scandal had spread thousands of miles.
"That Daxu caused chaos in my Qin family's territory and was suppressed by us." The young king next to him also saw that Xu Shen and Xingjun were not easy to mess with, but he was still in a bad mood. After all, this was the Qin family.
"If you want, we can sell it to you."
"Sell?"
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes, flashing coldly: "That's my friend, you said you would sell it to me?"
The young king's face changed slightly. He felt that he had already backed down. He did not expect Xu Shen's tone to be so strong. He said coldly: "Since she is your friend, it is okay to return it to you, but how can you make up for the evil she has caused by the people she slaughtered?"
"How many people did she kill?" Xu Shen asked.
"Several hundred." The young king snorted.
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes: "Then I have to ask her in person. After all, my friend usually doesn't kill anyone."
He had repeatedly trained Kuroxue, and Kuroxue had not hurt anyone for a long time, so he didn't believe what the other party said at all.
“How can you take Xu’s words seriously?” The young king said unhappily, “Xu is extremely cunning. I advise you to give up the idea of being friends with Xu as soon as possible. The relationship between Xu and us is just that of prey and hunter.”
"Bring her to see me." Xu Shen didn't waste any more time talking to him and went straight to see Hei Xue.
The young king frowned and said, "This Daxu is imprisoned in the dungeon. Once released, it will easily get out of control. Then..."
"I'll take responsibility." Xu Shen said.
"This is my Qin family's manor. If Xu causes chaos and my Qin family members are injured, how will you be responsible?" the young king said unhappily.
"I'll pay." Xu Shen said coldly, "We have four kings here, are we still afraid of a single Xu?"
The young king was angry and looked at Qin Feizhou beside him. Qin Feizhou nodded slightly to him.
