Chapter 232: Chapter 230: A Crisis Affecting the Entire Divine Martial City! The World Plunges into the Grey Deep Sea! Who Can Save the World?

On the sixth floor of the hotel, after getting separated from Lilith and the two other girls, Lin Tianming finally managed to reunite with them.

However, upon seeing him dressed in the Deep Sea Church’s attire, their initial instinct was to attack him.

It wasn’t until he removed the hood of the robe, revealing the face hidden in its shadow, that they halted in time.

Seeing that Lin Tianming was still alive, Lilith, Alice, and Sofia showed expressions of delight.

Lilith approached him directly, asking with concern, "Tianming, where did you go just now? Why did we lose you as soon as we turned the corner?"

Lin Tianming was surprised that Lilith was so worried about their brief separation and teased her: "Lilith, are you concerned about me?"

[This guy... he’s flirting with me at a time like this!]

Lilith’s expression was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed: "We’re currently in a hotel swarming with members of the Deep Sea Church, it’s very dangerous, so be serious!"

Lin Tianming was just teasing her to lighten the tense mood.

After the teasing, he began to discuss the matter at hand: "I don’t know either. As soon as I turned the corner, I realized I had lost you and I wandered around the same spot for a long time, then finally found that I could walk normally again, and that’s how I came up, one floor at a time."

Hearing Lin Tianming’s response, Lilith, Alice, and Sofia exchanged glances.

She then spoke on behalf of the three of them: "We experienced the same, but the three of us were together, and you were alone. We were looking for you, and it’s a relief that you’re okay!"

Sofia then interjected: "Now that everyone is fine, let’s continue. We must find the Grey Sea Veil before the Deep Sea Church does!"

"That’s right, with their manpower, it won’t be long before they turn this hotel upside down. We absolutely can’t allow them to use the Grey Sea Veil to revive the Deceit God!"

Alice also agreed.

Despite the fact that the three ladies had various past grievances with Lin Tianming, now, faced with a common enemy, they had to cooperate with Lin Tianming temporarily.

While Lin Tianming and his group were still on the sixth floor, the Deep Blue High Priest Evan, the top organizer of the Deep Sea Church’s operation tonight, had already made it to the rooftop on the top floor.

He was one of the top authorities who usually decided on the major affairs of the Deep Sea Church.

Conspiring with the Thousand-Eyed Demon Spirit, they were searching together in Xiluo Domain Shenwu City for the Grey Sea Veil.

It was thanks to the ability of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Spirit that they discovered the Grey Sea Veil in this hotel.

Regrettably, although they had originally planned to join forces to find the Grey Sea Veil the following night, the sudden death of two avatars of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Spirit forced them to act ahead of schedule.

In order to prevent the person who killed the avatars of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Spirit from discovering their grand scheme, they had to do this!

"My lord, be at ease, your most devout believer, will definitely find the Grey Sea Veil for you, to help you fully revive, as the master of the Grey Sea to reign over this filthy world, letting the entire world receive your mighty power’s baptism!"

While declaring these crazed sentiments, the Deep Blue High Priest Evan’s expression became warped and manic due to the Demonic Qi leaking out, which would provoke fear in any ordinary person seeing it.

At this moment, another member of the Deep Sea Church hurriedly ran up to the rooftop.

"Lord Evan, we have arranged people on every floor, and most have been searched twice, but there’s absolutely no clue about the Grey Sea Veil. Could the information be wrong?"

"Impossible! Although the avatars of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Spirit died under bizarre circumstances, its ability is definitely infallible. The Grey Sea Veil is absolutely in this hotel, keep searching!"

The Deep Blue High Priest Evan was convinced that the Grey Sea Veil must be in this hotel, just hidden too well for them to have found it so far.

The person hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Also, Lord Evan, a member who inspected the top floor reported a very strange piece of information. Would you like to hear it?"

"Speak!"

Upon Evan’s signal, the person reported respectfully.

"On the top floor, there is an unexpected elevator, which has only one button inside. Moreover, it leads to the second basement, a place not reachable by any other elevators or safety passages."

Upon hearing this information, Evan was so overly excited that he emitted a terrifying Demonic Qi.

"It must be on the second basement! The Grey Sea Veil must be in the second basement. Come with me to the second basement!"

"Yes!"

Driven by his obsession with the Grey Sea Veil, Evan and that member of the Deep Sea Church went to the special elevator available only on the top floor.

After pressing the lone button for the second basement inside the elevator, Evan and his companion quickly descended from the top floor to the second basement.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Evan saw a grey sea barrier blocking their path.

Seeing this scene only strengthened his conviction that the Grey Sea Veil was on the second basement floor.

"Indeed, it’s here. I am grateful for my lord’s guidance; I have finally found the Grey Sea Veil that will allow you to fully revive!"

As he spoke, Evan, as if corrupted by Demonic Qi into a deranged lunatic, displayed another twisted and maniacal expression.

The Deep Sea Church member following him was somewhat scared, but still couldn’t help whispering a reminder: "But... Lord Evan, this barrier looks really solid..."

"No matter how strong it is, it’s useless! Don’t forget, I am blessed with the power of that magnificent existence. With Its protection, barriers like these can’t stop me!"

After such a reminder from Evan, members of the Deep Sea Church also recalled that indeed, Evan was the sole believer who had been blessed with the power of the master of the Grey Deep Sea!

The entire Deep Sea Church, from top to bottom, was immensely envious of the Deep Blue High Priest for having received the favor of the Deceit God they collectively worshiped.

They, too, yearned for the active favor of that magnificent master of the Grey Deep Sea, to be bestowed with His power protection and become fortunate believers!

Unfortunately, within the entire Deep Sea Church, only the Deep Blue High Priest Evan had received this gift.

The Deceit God Power Protection held by the other High Priests was still part of what the Deep Blue High Priest had shared to strengthen the power of the Deep Sea Church, from the grace he had received.

It was precisely because High Priest Evan was the singular believer blessed by It that he held the highest prestige among all the High Priests.

Surrounded by the Divine Power of the Grey Deep Sea, Evan moved with ease through the Grey Sea Barrier under the protection of the Deceit God Power, along with the members of the Deep Sea Church by his side.

Soon, within the not-so-large underground second floor space, they found the Grey Sea Veil at the center.

Feeling the same aura emanating from the Grey Sea Veil as that of the Deceit God they worshiped, High Priest Evan once again displayed the frenzied expression of a fanatic, as terrifying Demonic Qi surged from his body.

"With the Grey Sea Veil, It can fully awaken and plunge the world into the magnificence of the Grey Deep Sea. The existence of our Deep Sea Church is meant to realize this ultimate goal, to purify all filth from this world!"

While speaking, Evan immediately used the Divine Power Protection received from the Deceit God, casting it directly onto the Grey Sea Veil.

Feeling the emanation akin to the aura of the Deceit God, the Grey Sea Veil, seemingly having been dormant until now, suddenly awoke.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the Divine Power of the Grey Deep Sea, like a deluge, transformed into a towering light pillar, instantly shattering all that obscured its path and shot straight into the sky.

"Grey Sea Veil, imprisoned here for so long, do you also long for that magnificent creator of yours? Unleash the power you’ve accumulated over countless eons! Doing so will surely bring Him to you, and you will return to His embrace! Let us together plunge this dirty and filthy world into our Lord’s deep sea!"

As Evan released the power of the Grey Sea Veil, overexcited and laughing madly, the entire hotel began to collapse irreversibly due to the Grey Sea Veil’s force.

Witnessing the terrifying Grey Sea Light Pillar that shot up from the ground and destroyed everything around, Lin Tianming on the sixth floor couldn’t help but have his pupils constrict in an instant.

"Has the Grey Sea Veil been found?"

Lilith’s beautiful eyes also darkened: "I think so..."

Alice’s complexion turned sour: "Damn it! The Deep Sea Church has beaten us to it!"

Saintess Sofia then timely reminded everyone: "Such a terrifying aura... This hotel is about to crumble into ruins. We must leave now!"

Heeding Saintess Sofia’s warning, Lin Tianming and his party promptly leaped from the windows to escape the hotel.

Almost the instant they leaped, the hotel collapsed behind them into dust due to the force of the Grey Sea Light Pillar.

Had they not been fortunate enough to not be at the epicenter, they would have been annihilated by the pillar’s blast.

As they fled, they could still hear the screams of Deep Sea Church members dying.

Hearing their screams, Lin Tianming couldn’t help saying: "Is it really worth sacrificing their lives to awaken the Deceit God?"

Alice and Lilith fell silent on this matter.

Coming from the Central Holy Domain of the Bright Holy Sect, Saintess Sofia hesitated before softly saying: "For Deceit God believers whose faith is not strong enough, it’s definitely not worth it. But for those fanatics, to sacrifice for the cause of awakening the Deceit God is their honor, certainly worth it."

Lin Tianming was reminded of the mysterious words of the Deceit God, "I don’t need believers," and he ventured another shocking statement.

"What if the Deceit God they believe in doesn’t care about everything they’ve done?"

Sofia was surprised to hear Lin Tianming say such a thing, but after thinking, she offered her thought.

"If their god does not care, perhaps their faith will collapse?"

Just as the conversation reached this point, the terrifying supernatural phenomena caused by the emergence of the Grey Sea Veil started to change drastically once again.

Quickly, the area centered around the Grey Sea Light Pillar seemed to fall into an endless Grey Deep Sea, becoming extremely distorted.

The world seemed to fall asleep under the drab expanse of the deep sea, an overwhelming sense of drowsiness assailed the minds of Lin Tianming and his companions.

This was not as simple as Lin Tianming intruding into the secrets of the Deceit God and being pulled into an illusion of the Grey Sea.

The area truly plunged into the Grey Deep Sea!

The Grey Deep Sea illusion became a stark reality, descending upon this world!

Moreover, under Lin Tianming’s extremely uneasy gaze, the area enveloped by the Grey Sea continued to spread.

The spreading was so fast it was unimaginable, leaving no chance for anyone in the city to escape. In a mere moment, the entire Divine Martial City fell into the world of the Grey Deep Sea.
