Temple of Death.

An old coin that flies back and forth on five fingers.

The dexterous fingers make random movements, and finally flick lightly.

Ding——

The coin flew to the center of the large round table, and instead of falling down, it kept spinning.

In the solemn church hall, everyone held their breath and said nothing.

The coin is still spinning, attracting everyone's attention.

It was a long time before a majestic voice sounded.

"This was originally the most important thing in the Holy Sect, but after the appearance of the path to becoming a god, this matter was temporarily forgotten by everyone."

The sound disappears.

Still no one else spoke.

A black-robed man stepped out and knelt down on one knee next to the round table.

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness Pope, but I am here to plead with you." He said.

Gray Hand, one of the eight bishops of the Holy Church of Death.

With such a gesture, he admitted his mistakes.

The atmosphere in the main hall eased slightly.

With a hint of concern, the Pope said, "Gray Hand, I heard that your apprentice died, please mourn." ”

"He didn't do his duty, and he died innocently." Gray hand.

"What are you going to do next?" The Pope asked.

"I will go there myself, find the person who destroyed the great plan of the Holy Sect, and then take back the card." Gray hand.

"In person? Your tree of divinity has been lit? The Pope asked.

"It's a little worse." Ash Hand sighed.

The people around couldn't help but whisper.

If Ash Hand were to do it himself now, then he would have to give up on igniting the Tree of Divinity halfway.

This is equivalent to giving up the path to godhood, which can be said to be the deepest self-punishment.

But who is to blame for this?

In fact, if it weren't for the sake of igniting the Tree of Divinity, Grey Hand wouldn't have left the quicksand world at all.

If it weren't for the emergence of the path to godhood, he would have stayed in that world and continued to guard that crucial card.

However, it has now been determined that all the means that could bind that particular card have been destroyed.

Thousands of years of hard work and effort by the church have been in vain.

The Grey Hand made such a big mistake, and this is the punishment he deserves.

The Pope listened silently and sighed.

He was happy with the situation.

The ability of the gray hand is still very positive.

Now is the right time to save the Grey Hand and gain the gratitude and loyalty of this powerful bishop.

Thinking of this, the Pope whispered, "Oracle, please." ”

As soon as these three words came out, everyone present quickly got up and knelt on one knee.

The Pope carefully took out a black metal box.

He opened the box.

Airplanes!

A deep curtain of night was released from the box, quickly enveloping the entire hall.

In the night, the oracle of death, which had been preserved for countless years, sounded directly in the hearts of all people.

The darkness of the night lasted only a moment, and then vanished at a rapid pace.

Everyone showed their understanding.

"Is it all clear?" The Pope asked.

"Clearly," replied one of the bishops, "after the emergence of the path to godhood, believers of all levels must take the path of godhood as their primary goal, and must not violate or deviate from it." ”

The Pope looked at the gray hand and smiled: "The path to godhood is the path designated by the gods, and we must not violate it, so you should not leave for the time being, and wait until the tree of divinity is ignited." ”

Gray hands suddenly showed a deep look of gratitude.

- If there is a choice, who wants to bury their chance to become a god?

Suddenly, a voice rang out: "Your Excellency, I object. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that it was a bishop who usually did not deal with the gray hands.

He said indignantly: "After so many years of preparation, the church finally seized a golden opportunity to capture her when the card was at its weakest, but it didn't deserve to be punished for burying all this?" ”

The Pope said kindly: "The reason why Grey Hand left the quicksand world is, in the final analysis, to respond to the call of the gods and come back to ignite the tree of divinity. ”

"And the matter about that card is a plan for our church."

"It is only right to compare the two with the disgraced hands to obey God's will."

"Perhaps God also thinks that we should not be trying to plot that secret, so we have our pious Grey Hand Bishop come back immediately."

The bishop moved his lips and said with a reluctant face, "But after all—"

The Pope interrupted him and said directly: "The road to godhood is God's will, do you think that your opinion is more important than God's will?" ”

By the end, the Pope's tone had become a little cold.

The bishop was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

The Pope looked around.

There were no objections.

This is an oracle, something that the god of death himself arranged countless years ago.

It is about the will of the gods, who would dare to disobey it?

In the midst of the acquiescence, Gray Hand slowly stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

"You're welcome, the will of God is supreme and cannot be taken lightly." Papal tract.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire hall gradually relaxed.

Yes, the gods laid it all out eons ago.

How could the gods not perceive the direction of the church?

Maybe God really doesn't want the church to explore the secret of that card.

People thought silently in their hearts.

They couldn't help but look at the round table again.

At the round table, the spinning coin slowed down.

If you have a good eye, you can see the pattern depicted on both sides of the coin as it rotates.

The obverse of the coin depicts a sleeping maiden.

The girl's surroundings were covered with all kinds of intricate and mysterious secret patterns.

These secret patterns hold the maiden in the center of the coin.

On the opposite side of the coin, there is a constant surging chaos, and you will feel palpitations after looking at it for a long time.

Yes, this is the third largest coin in the Thousand and One Coins: the Sleeping Maiden.

If the 999th coin were to appear in the world, no one would necessarily be able to recognize the coin's true name.

This is because the top three coins were each issued with only one.

- And because there is not even the most basic coin information on this coin.

This is one of the three most mysterious coins in the entire Arena.

This coin does not represent wealth.

It represents a secret that goes far beyond what money can measure.

If Gu Qingshan was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that the girl depicted on this coin was almost exactly the same as the girl he saved.

Unfortunately, he probably didn't know about this for a long time.

Inside the main hall, the Pope's voice sounded again.

"Then, this matter is so decided, leave the ashes behind, and continue to ignite the tree of divinity according to the oracle, and any of you are the same, before the tree of divinity is lit, do not leave."

"Immediately post a hefty bounty and want that person in the entire Arena."

"All believers should have the highest goal of becoming a god, and everything else can be put aside!"

"Next thing."

"Anna is coming back."

"The road to becoming a god was opened by her and Su Ke'er of the Temple of Destiny, which is the favor of the gods and the supreme glory."

"Please discuss how to reward her."

……

Quicksand World.

Great desert.

A layer of hidden sand dunes surrounded by magic circles.

Gu Qingshan pinched a trick.

The sand stone suddenly retreated to both sides, and the dark blue ice crystal appeared in front of him and the girl in white.

In the midst of the ice crystals, a beautiful woman covered in blood closed her eyes, and her whole person was dying, in a deep coma.

Overlord-level powerhouse, Yun Ji.

"This is the person you want me to save?" The girl in white asked.

"Exactly, please help me take a look." Gu Qingshan Road.

The girl in white stepped forward and knelt in front of the dark blue ice crystal.

"Divine power frost condensation, it's really a long-lost memory."

The girl in white caressed the surface of the ice crystals, full of emotion.

Gu Qingshan's brows moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know this thing?" Do you know the person who performed this spell? ”

The girl shook her head and said, "This divine method is very ancient, and there are not many gods who can use it, so I can't be sure who it is." ”

"I'm going to start trying to treat her, so don't make a noise for now."

"Okay." Gu Qingshan Road.

I saw the girl constantly drawing cards from the void.

She pasted the cards on the surface of the ice crystals and quickly put them away.

I saw that among the ice crystals, Yun Ji's face gradually improved a lot, and the wounds on her body also showed signs of healing.

When Gu Qingshan saw it, he was overjoyed.

But the girl took all the cards, stood up and said, "No, I can't save her." ”

Gu Qingshan was stunned.

He encouraged, "You seem to have healed some of her injuries just now, please don't be discouraged and try again." ”

The girl shook her head and said, "With me now, there is no way. ”

She pulls out a book and draws a card from it.

The girl looked at Gu Qingshan and sighed, "Seeing that you saved me, I will release my wisdom." ”

The card scattered into a cloud of light, and gradually disappeared into the girl's body.

The girl stood still.

But her whole temperament has changed.

Her expression became serious, and her every move was full of dignified and holy meaning.

The girl didn't say much, and pressed her hand on the ice crystal again.

"Unleash your mysteries, the skill of the gods." She muttered.

With the girl's movements, the ice crystals became unstable, and several times they let out violent tremors.

Gu Qingshan was terrified.

If the ice crystals shattered, Yun Ji would definitely die.

However, the fact that the girl was able to shake the ice crystals made of this divine spell just by touching it showed that she had found some way.

For a while, Gu Qingshan didn't know if it was right for him to bring the girl.

In the middle of her thoughts, the girl withdrew her hand and stood up again.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Gu Qingshan: "The situation is very complicated, you must listen carefully to my next words." ”

Gu Qingshan nodded.

The girl said: "On the surface, this is a single piece of ice crystal, but in fact, there is more than one such ice crystal, according to the divine power on the ice crystal, I noticed a total of three hundred and eighty-one pieces. ”

Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment.

The people rescued by the Black Sea Lady are probably the same number, and the others have probably died in battle and have been eaten by that monster.

The girl said, "These three hundred and eighty-one pieces of divine power ice crystals form a cyclical structure, and this structure forms a special energy absorption tool—similar to your cultivator's magic circle. ”

"This magic circle-like tool can absorb all kinds of power from the void in the hegemony area to supplement its own consumption."

"In this way, the ice crystals can last for a long time, and the people inside will always maintain their last life and will not die."

"But here's the problem, unless you have the ability to heal these three hundred and eighty-one seriously injured people at once, all the ice crystals will be unraveled at the same time, and these people will wake up and come back to life."

Gu Qingshan said incomprehensibly: "Why is this happening, why can't you save them one by one?" ”

The girl stared at the ice crystals, a look of admiration on her face.

"In fact, this type of divine law can be set up to save one by one, but the other party deliberately set it to be saved at the same time, which has her deep meaning."

"What does it mean?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Unless your strength is beyond imagination and you can save everyone at once, it won't help you even if you save them, it's better to let these people hide for a while and not be noticed - I think that's what the other person is going to say." The girl said.

"How can you deduce so much? It's illogical. Gu Qingshan said.

"Because of the injury—her injury came from something strange, that kind of thing that the gods feared, that kind of thing that all beings were invincible to, that kind of thing that all things were destroyed." The girl said quietly.
