Chapter 241: Chapter 201 The Truth of the World (Additional Chapter for Monthly Ticket) _2
"To become an Evil God’s Child, there would be no issue.
Even, the process would be incredibly fast.
An Evil God’s Child is a powerful being comparable to a Martial Saint or even a Martial God, yet gaining sanctity through Fighting Spirit could simply achieve this.
’I already possess the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, which is also a path to becoming an Evil God... Could it be that I am naturally connected to the Outer Realm Evil God?’
Fang Xing touched the corner of his eyes, somewhat helpless.
Now, having condensed the Great Sun Relics, even looking directly at the Evil God’s Child wouldn’t be a problem.
But previously it was different, he had not only seen a body that seemed to belong to an Outer Realm Evil God, but also growing Evil God’s Children and higher Clans, naturally, he would face backlash.
Not having been corrupted was a testament to his extremely resilient Martial Arts Will.
’This universe, whether spirits, great spirits, or even Original Spirits... all have a singular origin, which is that ’Pale Mother’...’
’So... what can I gain from this world? The divinity, authority of the Outer Realm Evil God?’
Fang Xing’s eyes were deep...
The next day.
The carriage continued forward.
After the better part of the day, a city emerged before everyone.
It was a towering, majestic city, situated beside a huge black mountain range, with a river flowing by the city’s edge, reflecting sunlight, a sweep of gold.
’We’ve finally arrived... at Tulip Duke’s city—Golden City!’
Wal finally sighed in relief.
This was the final destination for the lady of the Soren Family; he had finally delivered her safely.
’Golden City... the mountain range nearby seems quite famous, called ’Grolon Mountain Range’?’
Fang Xing was more interested in the mountain range beside the city.
He could feel that this mountain range was like magma lurking beneath, ready to erupt at any moment.
’Yes... This mountain range is filled with legends of dragons; more than one hunter has claimed to have seen dragon shadows... but as you and I both know, there are no dragons in the world!’
Wal spoke with implied meaning: ’...Only Dragon Spirits! A terrifying Evil Spirit of ’great spirit’ level sleeps beneath the mountain. It once ravaged the land and was sealed by a Saint from the Church... but at the time of sealing, a prophecy was left behind that this Dragon Spirit would one day awaken and with its fury, set the entire city ablaze.’
’Oh my...’ Sofia covered her mouth: ’I remember... from when I was little, there were many terrifying legends about evil dragons, so the source was like this?’
’Great spirit?’
Fang Xing showed an intrigued expression, took another glance at the mountain, and then followed the carriage into Golden City.
The gates of Golden City were very tall, shaped like an arch of triumph, and the streets were extremely wide, accommodating five rows of carriages paralleled.
After traveling some distance, a square could be seen.
’This is Saint Maria Square...’
The noble lady from the Soren Family became spirited: ’I have played here before... I’ve even witnessed several trials hosted by the Radiant Church, where they condemned ’witches’ to the pyre, burning them alive... offering their spirits in sacrifice to the Radiant Lord... some ’witches’ could even wail for over ten hourglasses in the flames...’
Fang Xing couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Ten hourglasses, roughly two hours; no ordinary person could survive that long in flames, lively and kicking, unless... they were Transcendents bearing spirits!
’Flames, executions... even spectators... are all part of the Church rituals, it’s a type of Sealing!’
Wal spoke: ’We use the power of the Radiant Lord to seal most Evil Spirits...’
’Well, there are few people on the square.’
Fang Xing observed as several white pigeons descended, freely pecking for food on the square, and remarked.
’Huh? I just remembered... at this time, the citizens should all be at the Duel Arena!’
Miss Sofia said, "Tulip Duke built the largest duel arena in the Duke’s land... It opens every so often, and citizens flock to it... Watching the gladiators perform is the most popular trend among the upper class; it has been some time since I last came here, I wonder if the Duel King is still Sinbad... He is hailed as the ’King of Gladiators,’ a mighty one who already holds seven championship titles, sending who knows how many gladiators’ souls to the Radiance."
No mistake! Establishing a duel arena is not only a necessity for the lord but also for the Radiant Church.
Lords often throw death row inmates, slaves, and prisoners of war into the arena as fodder for the duels.
As long as one can keep winning, theoretically, they will never face execution.
However, in reality, if a gladiator survives in the arena for a year, they are considered extremely lucky.
And they fight fiercely, with their own deaths, to please the audience and the divines!
Fang Xing looked at Wal and noticed that this upright knight had sunk into silence; he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: "It seems... even the Radiant Church in such a world cannot avoid a bloody and insane undercurrent..."
"A world after the Outer Realm Evil God ’Luo’ has unparalleled value to researchers of the Evil Gods of the Main Universe..."
...
Duke Mansion.
The current Tulip Duke is about forty years old, with wine-red long hair, a beard, and gentle features.
He stood atop a high tower, from which he could overlook most of the city.
For instance... the very conspicuous circular duel arena.
At this moment, he could even hear the cheers coming from the arena.
"Listening to that sound, Sinbad must have won his eighth championship today, right? How many gladiators did he execute today? Twenty? Thirty?" Tulip Duke said with interest.
Behind him, there were no attendants, only a person dressed in a green robe, wearing a vine collar, and looking like a scholar.
He was a ’Scholar,’ often appointed from non-heir members of noble families, tasked with the journey of either knighthood or scholarship.
Generally, they opt for knighthood first, and only those without talent for knighthood turn to studying to become knowledgeable scholars.
If they gain enough renown, they are recruited by superior nobles, thus securing a stable income.
As for lands? They shouldn’t even think about it... becoming a steward would be quite good already.
Compared to that, knights still have greater potential for development.
But this Scholar was clearly different from the others.
His features were very ordinary, blending into the crowd without distinction, but his eyes were bright, seemingly radiating a hint of emerald.
"Sinbad has just executed his twenty-seventh opponent... Such an amount of blood sacrifice will surely please the Bishop," the Scholar answered as if he had seen everything in the duel arena.
"Radiance is gone, the Church Court remains... Sado Sect, Scholars’ Assembly... My only requirement for my Duke’s land is order!"
Tulip Duke spoke.
Just then, an attendant hurried up the high tower.
Climbing so many steps in one breath, yet his breathing was still steady, not the least bit heavy, obviously possessing the strength of a proper knight.
"Your Grace... Miss from the Soren family has arrived, ready to participate in the Church’s Holy Daughter selection."
The attendant bowed and reported.
"Sofia from the Soren Family?" Tulip Duke smiled faintly: "She is indeed a beauty, and truly fit to become the Church’s Holy Daughter... If I were twenty years younger, I might have married her directly."
At that moment, the Scholar beside him suddenly had his eyes entirely engulfed by a green color.
The Scholar’s face turned a bit pale, he stepped back a few steps, his forehead dripping with sweat.
Seeing this, Tulip Duke immediately gestured for the attendant to step back: "My ’Prophet’... what did you see?"
"Dragons... vast dragon wings shadowing the sky, enveloping the entire Golden City..."
"But at the same time, destruction holds hope... The one who can completely resolve the Dragon Spirit has already arrived!"
The Scholar’s eyes were vacant, his body jerking like one in a fit, as he uttered his prophecy.
