Chapter 719: Chapter 296 【Scarlet Sacrifice】(6k)_2
"That kind of power is definitely of a higher level. It seems that it was never discovered because that dark veil shrouded everything. Then, it should be the internal battle that tore the veil apart, which exposed the aura!
Giant incarnation...
This should be the ’rotten’ demon among the great demons. Although it’s strong, the last time it appeared it was still far from that level threshold. The one who broke through should be another...
But this silhouette does not resemble any known target. If only I could see it more clearly..."
Magga immediately guessed the truth, but then he fell into despondency.
Because the image was too blurry, even with his knowledge he could only gather this much information, making it difficult to deduce more.
But Magga also knew that Karis, as the Pope, was already the strongest in this world at retracing history, the only one who could communicate with the gods. If even he couldn’t do it, it was equivalent to equating with hopelessness.
Karis had already done his best, helping him was a favor considering their close friendship over nearly a thousand years. It was impossible to blame Karis.
And to criticize the gods for using such feeble Divine Arts?
Not to mention whether gods could be found to blame, it sounded as if he dared, when it was actually a True God with real power!
Faced with this result, Magga could only accept it helplessly.
But accepting this result did not mean he would give up.
One must exhaust human efforts before resigning to fate!
"Let’s go, let me gather some parameters first, then we’ll visit the nearby area to see if any witnesses can provide more information.
I remember there are a few villages around here!"
As the Emperor, though Magga spent most of his time enhancing his own strength, over the millennium he also came to understand this continent very well.
If not able to call out every citizen’s name, at least he could remember the general information of each village.
"Sigh...
I told you, if that person truly broke through that level, there’s no way they’d leave a flaw, but you wouldn’t listen..."
Karis complained verbally, yet his body was honest, beginning to cooperate with Magga in painstakingly collecting parameters.
As the instigator of all this, Bai Yi had already crossed a great distance, traversing more than half of the continent to return to the southeast of the continent, within the Elf Forest.
But as soon as the teleportation ended, Bai Yi received messages from the network.
"Magga went over?
He actually got drawn over directly...
And who is that beside him?"
Of course, she was not merely covering up the scene earlier but had put in many arrangements, and these messages were intelligence brought back by plants she had woven and nurtured when she left.
These plants transmitted messages back through an underground Fungus Blanket, a physical circuit that couldn’t be intercepted by anyone.
Having observed all the actions of those two, she was quite startled when that stranger set up an altar to perform Divine Arts and retrace history.
The surprise was because there was such a means that arbitrarily retraced the history of a place, rendering many hidden methods effectively redundant.
But fortunately, the Divine Art yielded only some vague information, akin to heavily pixelated images passed around in some chat software, without any trace leading back to her.
And from the dialogue between the two, Bai Yi roughly understood the identity of that person.
"So this is the Pope of the Eternal Church...
Speaking of which, I heard before that this world has churches, but due to the Empire’s influence, their development was suppressed, resulting in very few high-tiers among these believers.
That’s why I haven’t encountered them at the fortress.
It seems I need to find an opportunity to visit these churches later, to gather intelligence on these gods.
It’s rare for this world to have similar faith systems as the Starry Sky, and for them to all cluster on this small planet. Their power isn’t particularly strong, and the information they possess is ample, making them the best source of intelligence!
Otherwise, in the Starry Sky, it’s not only difficult to find these believers, even if found, it’s challenging to interrogate them with the power of the Starry Sky People."
Bai Yi was well aware that the organizations of faith in the Starry Sky, each had an 8th Rank overseeing them.
Because the path of the followers of faith significantly differed from ordinary people, their resource needs were also distinct, not requiring self-strengthening, but needing more power from [God].
Thus, these followers seldom engaged in resource exchanges with normal Transcendents of the Starry Sky, and even rarely used the common potions employed by Starry Sky Transcendents.
After all, potions enhance one’s own abilities, but they rely entirely on the blessings bestowed by gods.
In a sense, it was somewhat akin to the Divine Arts system she used to study, where all power originated from her, and the followers using powers were essentially remote control devices summoning remote strikes.
And as remote control devices, they naturally wouldn’t modify like ordinary firearms; even if transformed into a titanium alloy remote, it would still be a remote.
Compared to these useless embellishments, they were more committed to practicing their paths to receive more blessings.
This led many high-tier Transcendents of the Starry Sky to simply not recognize these faith powerholders for relying on external power sources.
No matter how the Starry Sky powerhouses viewed them, if Bai Yi wanted to extend her influence to the Starry Sky, then these believers were obstacles she needed to handle.
