Chapter 218: Foreign Souls Influx
In just two days.
What happened in the Holy See of Life spread throughout the Emerald Empire and its surrounding areas.
Many people are very curious about what actions the temple, which has been in decline one after another, will take to save its face, or what means it will use to suppress the Holy See of Life.
Walking down the street, you can hear discussions related to this matter everywhere.
However, to their expectation, the temple, which they expected to be angry, showed no reaction at all.
It was as if silence had subsided. Instead of taking the next step against the Holy See of Life, it gathered the manpower of each branch and focused on the space channel that had just been opened.
"Hmph, let them be proud for a few more days, and then come back to deal with them after we finish handling the matter over there!"
High Priest Raymond was very dissatisfied with the order from the headquarters, which made it clear that he wanted to abandon their Qingyuan Province branch.
Although he knew that the Holy See of Life had the support of the Emerald Empire and the Goblin Chamber of Commerce and had built up a momentum that would be difficult to bring down, he just didn't want to give up the territory he had worked so hard to manage so easily.
What does this make people in other branches think of him?
Are you probably laughing at him secretly?
"There's no way, after all, it's the order from the headquarters."
"All our focus now is on that plane passage. As long as we can gain a firm foothold there, it's just a province, so why not give it to them."
A group of senior officials below began to persuade.
Compared to the faith resources of the entire plane, let alone a province, what does the entire Jade Empire mean?
As long as they take the lead and spread the faith of the Holy Light, they will gain far more than they lose.
The headquarters must have suddenly transferred manpower from various branches because of this consideration, hoping to lay a solid foundation before other imperial forces.
"You're right."
Raymond's expression gradually softened: "This plan to expand the plane is very important. As long as we can perform well there, we may not be able to overtake the other division teams. Now let's discuss the travel personnel."
The emergence of a new dimension can be said to have attracted the attention of all surrounding forces.
Because they all know that the new plane represents more resources, more opportunities, and even faith.
So after the discussions between the major empires and the temple were completed, the plane passages began to be opened to the outside world, attracting many teams to rush to the temple headquarters, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.
This also gave the Holy See of Life a chance to breathe and began to vigorously spread its faith. The number of believers in the Moon God was also increasing at an exaggerated rate.
Even those who did not believe in gods regarded the Holy See of Life as the second place besides the temple that could heal injuries and illnesses. It added another source of income to the Holy See of Life, and finally got on the right track.
…
Dreamland.
On top of the Altar of the Moon God.
With the skyrocketing number of believers, great changes have also taken place in the entire forest.
Visible waves of life force spread out from the altar. Wherever it went, the growth rate of plants accelerated, and even the cultivation speed of the residents outside increased a lot.
The most obvious change is the dark sky above.
The emerald sky that originally occupied only a small corner actually expanded a lot, forcing the black back and covering almost one-fifth of the area.
If it continues at this rate, I'm afraid the entire sky will be purified and returned to its original state.
"Master Rhodes, come and see! Kurotsuchi seems to have become weaker!"
Suddenly, Ogula's exclamation came from afar.
Rhodes, who was observing the changes in the forest, immediately rushed towards his location.
Sure enough, as Augula said, the originally violent black soil outside the forest has become much docile. Even if the meteorites are not dispersed, the little ones can run outside and stay for a while.
This discovery surprised and delighted Rhodes.
"So faith is the key to dispelling the black soil?"
He has been looking for ways to dispel the black soil, but without much success.
But unexpectedly, it requires faith, and a lot of faith.
Doesn't that mean that as long as he has enough followers, even spread across all planes, he can disperse all the black soil and restore the Dreamland to its original appearance?
"Sure enough, establishing a faith-based organization is the right thing to do."
Rhodes was extremely lucky that he had not done anything else during this period and had been busy developing followers. He did not expect that he would be rewarded so soon.
It seems that we need to work harder and grab more believers from other gods.
"By the way, where's Irene? Didn't she say that the elves will send people to the Nerubian plane recently?"
Rhodes looked around, looking for Erin.
"She seems to have gone back to the Elf Empire, saying that the Elf Queen is gathering the team." Augula thought for a moment and said.
"Then they should be preparing the expedition team."
Rhodes nodded. He had heard the news a few days ago that the Elf Empire wanted to establish a branch in the new dimension and develop trade.
After all, the entrance to the plane is very close to the Elf Empire. Naturally, the Elf clan cannot miss such a good opportunity and prepare to send people there to establish a branch to facilitate future trade.
This is also the result of discussions between several major empires and the temple.
They will work together to build a city near the entrance of the passage as a transit point for trade between the two planes. As for the resources further away, it depends on their own abilities.
Thinking about it after so many days, a base has been established over there, right?
After all, if several major empires unite, no matter how unwilling the undead people are, they will definitely have to make concessions.
Uh-huh!
Just as he was thinking about it, a ray of light lit up.
Yilin, who had been away for several days, appeared on the altar and ran towards them.
"Lord Rhodes, we have passed through the plane passage and arrived at the border of the Spider Demon Kingdom!"
"So fast? Then how did you return to Dreamland?" Rhodes asked doubtfully.
It stands to reason that Yilin, as one of the members of the plane expedition team, is no longer within the scope of the Elf Empire, so it is difficult for her soul to enter the Dream Woodland.
"I don't know. I just tried to meditate and see if I could come in. I didn't expect it to work." Erin said excitedly.
She is now the leader of the Elf Ranger Legion. She was originally sent to the Spider Demon Kingdom and was a little worried because she would not be able to enter the Dream Grove.
Now she finally felt relieved.
Don’t worry about Augula taking advantage of her absence to take credit.
"Are you worried that I will take the credit in the forest?" Augula curled her lips, revealing her little idea at once.
"What? Isn't it? I haven't forgotten how you, the dryads, deceived us when the forest just came back to life."
"Forehead……"
Augu La was speechless by Yilin.
Rhodes smiled when he saw this and brought the topic back: "In that case, the connection between the planes and the Dream Woodland has become stronger. Your body does not need to stay in the sacrificial place all the time in the future. You can Go do your own thing.”
"Yeah, now I can come in just by meditating, and I feel that the connection is much stronger than before."
Connections getting stronger?
Rhodes was stunned when he heard this.
Could it be related to the increase in faith and the weakening of black soil?
No wonder I can sense the presence of woodland even when I go to such a far place. It turns out this is what it is all about.
Just right.
He also planned to develop more followers there, so he told Yilin his plan.
"No problem, we will build the Lunar Temple there even if you don't tell us."
After Yilin heard this, she directly confirmed it.
"That's fine. You can go back and deal with your own affairs first. There is nothing else happening here for the time being."
"Okay, I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything."
It can be seen that Yilin is very busy now. As soon as she finished speaking, her soul disappeared. She probably just arrived at the Spider Demon Kingdom and there are still many things to hand over.
But this is good news for Rhodes.
Because in this way, he can find helpers at any time in the Spider Demon Kingdom.
Although it was the same with the Spider Demon Princess, after all, the elves were familiar with him.
Moreover, the spider demons believe in the ancestors of the Dream Weavers, not the Moon God. Although Xiaobai has inherited the bloodline of the Dream Weavers, he is not a true Dream Weaver after all, and the deterrence he can exert is limited.
To put it bluntly.
His strength is still too weak.
There is no way it can support the mess that is Dreamland.
It just so happens that before the establishment of the base over there is completed, let's upgrade the level to level four first. Then we should be able to go deep into the gray border and take a look, maybe we will find something.
Think of this.
Rhodes returned to the plantation and continued to cultivate plants, trying to gain experience.
…
at the same time.
Far away in the Free City on the outskirts of the Black Earth.
As the black soil becomes weaker and the connection strengthens, more and more foreign souls appear in Liberty City.
Some people have even managed to gather their complete souls and walk on the streets, making the entire Liberty City lively.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like it's easier to condense my soul than before."
"I feel the same way! Sure enough, the Dream Woodland is slowly recovering!"
"I heard that this is only the outermost part of the forest. The deeper you go, the higher the spiritual level becomes. Ordinary souls cannot support it at all."
"It would be great if we could go into the deepest part and take a look. It is said that the moon god lives in the deepest part of the forest."
"If I can get in, I will definitely ask Lord Luna to protect me from failing the magic subject."
During this time, the news of the return of the Moon God had spread rapidly throughout the country, and it was no longer a secret.
Therefore, these people all want to see the Moon God with their own eyes and obtain blessings from the gods. By then, their strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
This caused a strange phenomenon.
As soon as many souls appeared in Free City, they hurried outside the city and tried to step into the depths of the black earth to find the place where the Moon God lived.
The results can be imagined.
Except for a few with extraordinary talents who could sustain themselves for a period of time, all the other souls could not sustain their return to their true form within half an hour of stepping into the black soil.
Or they were frightened by encountering a high-level black beast and fled the forest.
And all this.
They were all seen by a few souls who had just entered the forest.
"Moon God, is it really inside?"
Several people looked away, looking at the endless black soil outside the city.
