Chapter 77

Ursus used to be the economic and cultural center of the west. It was a bustling city, but now it was eerily quiet.

The place where the mayor's mansion used to be was now a giant altar made of bones. Unlike the concave altars made by the priests who went out, this altar of bones was built on the horizon. Countless believers of the High God Religion who looked no different from ordinary people were kneeling around it. They looked pious and kept praying.

The prayers were endless. Sometimes, people would die because they didn't eat for a long time. Then, their flesh and blood would melt into the ground, leaving only their bones behind to fly to the altar.

The others were not surprised or afraid. Instead, they looked envious, as if dying because of prayer was a great honor.

At the highest point of the altar, there was a tall statue with a blurry face. The statue was holding the skeleton of a young girl. The skeleton looked similar to the White Bone Staff, but it was pure and transparent, like a piece of crystal. One could feel that invisible energy was constantly gathering towards it.

Under the giant statue, there were dozens of priests, both men and women. They all wore similar white robes. The only thing that distinguished them was the different colored threads on their robes.

At the front was a female priest. Her white robes were covered with silver threads, making her look noble and mysterious.

The priests prayed under her lead, and the voices of unknown meanings gathered together to form a strange sound wave.

After praying, all the priests sang in an aria: "Praise be to the great God, may your glory descend upon this world as soon as possible"

The female priest said, "All golden-silk priests, stay. The rest can leave." Her voice was unexpectedly beautiful. It was as if she could heal the wounds of others with her voice alone.

Hearing her order, the priests who didn't have any gold threads on their robes bowed and left silently. Then a golden-silk priest said, "First Priest, in the past month, our brothers and sisters have suffered great casualties. Almost all of our brothers who left the God's Kingdom died at the hands of the four blasphemers."

The rest of the priests also voiced their opinions. Their missionary teams had suffered heavy losses.

The First Priest listened quietly. He didn't say anything, as if he didn't care.

After the report, a male priest suddenly said, "The four blasphemers have the power of the Evil God. The children of the High God can't resist at all. If this continues, they will kill their way into the God's Kingdom. We …"

The First Priest's calm eyes fell on him. Then he said, "Luke, are you afraid? Has your faith wavered? "

The golden-silk priest Luke knelt on the ground and crawled forward. He said in panic, "No, I'm not. My faith in the High God is as firm as ever!" Even though they were all believers of the High God, he was still very afraid of the woman in front of him. He knew how vicious this woman was. the first order to kill the High God's Kingdom came from this woman.. She used the cruelest means to suppress all voices of disobedience.

"You should be firm. All glory belongs to the Overgod. All power comes from the Overgod. The Evil Gods are nothing but a disease of the world. They cannot hide from the glory of the Overgod."

Luke was about to cry. The calmer the First Priest's voice was, the more afraid he was. "Praise the High God …"

The First Priest walked forward and helped Luke up. Then he hugged him gently. "In that case, are you willing to prove your faith to the High God?"

Luke took a few steps back in fear. He wanted to run, but he found that his legs were shaking and he had no strength. He could only beg for mercy. "Master, don't kill me, don't kill me …"

Bang.

After a muffled sound, Luke exploded on the spot. His flesh and blood flowed into the crystal skeleton in a strange and holy way. The skeleton flew out and landed on the altar.

"It seems that Luke has betrayed the High God. He was bewitched by the Evil God and forgot the High God's glory. He needs to use his life to wash away his sins and go to the Kingdom of Heaven to beg for the High God's forgiveness." The First Priest looked at the crystal skeleton devoutly.

The rest of the priests lowered their heads and didn't dare to show any expression. They kept praising the High God, afraid that they would be the next one to be punished.

The crystal skeleton emitted a red light that fell evenly on the priests. The pleasure of the body made them forget their fear. They raised their heads and became devout again.

"First Priest, what is the High God's order?"

The First Priest didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked, "How long has Priest Brown left the Kingdom of Heaven?"

Someone answered in a low voice, "It has been 60 days. According to the plan, we should arrive at the Kingdom of Heaven soon."

The First Priest nodded with satisfaction. "The High God is not satisfied with the size and location of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is our fault. We need to get more believers and a better Kingdom of Heaven for the High God. Priest Brown is the Son of God sent by the High God to carry out this task. Now we just need to protect the altar and wait for the good news from Priest Brown. "

.....

Although Adam and the other three were faster, because they kept running around Madeira Island, Brown and his knights were lucky enough to escape.

Brown and his team burned, killed, and looted along the way. They abandoned all their supplies and spent a week to enter the west. When he saw the First Priest, he directly ordered his team to give up resistance and submit to the High God in a humble manner.

He was successfully received by the First Priest, and after discovering her power, he wisely chose to temporarily lie low and listen to the First Priest's orders.

Although the First Priestess had discovered Brown's ambition, she didn't kill him immediately, either because of her confidence or her faith in the Supreme God. Instead, she allowed Brown and his knights to join the Supreme Church and held a bloody sacrifice for them.

After gaining new power, Brown was ecstatic. He volunteered to leave the west to attack the Kingdom of Heaven and open up a new Kingdom of Heaven for the High God.

Half a month ago, Brown left the west from another direction. Along the way, he was attacked and destroyed. He strictly ordered his men not to take the initiative to kill any ordinary people who had surrendered. He didn't want them to become followers of the supreme god. Instead, he wanted to hold a grand blood sacrifice after breaking into King's City so that he could surpass the power of the supreme god in one fell swoop and gain the power of the supreme god.

His plan went smoothly. With the support of power far beyond ordinary people, any resistance was futile. He cruelly ordered everyone to rush all the way to the Kingdom of Heaven. He didn't even spare the bodies of ordinary people who died on the way. He also led some of the knights into the Kingdom of Heaven and killed all the guardian knights of the royal family. He successfully occupied the Kingdom of Heaven and launched the largest blood sacrifice of the High God so far.
