"The current area of the spiritual world that the church can explore is from layers one to four. Theoretically, there are higher-level passages that have yet to be discovered."
The bishop paused, then continued reporting, "There is also a very important piece of intelligence. Although we lack concrete evidence, we all believe the God Clan controls the higher layers of the spiritual world."
Fang Heng felt a stir in his heart.
After several confrontations, he was certain that the God Clan's spirit attribute was terrifying.
Could it be related to the higher-level temples in the spiritual world?
Even the lower-level temples granted him significant spirit attribute boosts; the top-level temples would be even more so.
Fang Heng observed up again at the spirit passage that connected heaven and earth, frowning slightly.
This was troubleso.
He had originally planned to completely seal off all other exits from the spiritual world and take full control of it.
But now, it seed the God Clan might still dominate higher-tier passage openings.
His efforts might be in vain.
As Fang Heng was thinking this, Damon hurried over, looking sowhat flustered.
"Shadow God, I have urgent matters to report."
"Go ahead."
"Believers planted among the church remnants have reported that the God Clan is preparing to descend via teleportation, expected to appear in three hours. The church is making preparations and will rebel alongside the God Clan. Additionally, we have confird that five mbers of the God Clan will descend this ti."
"Great Shadow God, please prepare quickly. The God Clan is well-prepared, and once they arrive, we will be in serious trouble!"
Damon's voice trembled with fear.
He understood well how terrifying the God Clan was.
"Furthermore..." Damon hesitated, his face growing even grimr. "We also have internal problems. Many of the surrendered church personnel are only superficially compliant; secretly they are making moves. My n discovered they are gathering in secret, possibly planning to coordinate internal and external attacks."
"Suppressing them forcefully now will take ti, but ti is exactly what we lack! Once the God Clan arrives, with attacks from both inside and outside, we..."
Damon could not continue.
Just imagining such a scene sent chills through him.
Hearing this, the atmosphere tightened.
The God Clan's arrival ti was five hours earlier than predicted.
Fang Heng listened, unable to suppress a smile. He turned to Damon and said, "Are you sure? Only five mbers of the God Clan are descending?"
"Ah?" Damon was montarily stunned.
What did 'only' an?
Were five people few?
These were the God Clan!
In Damon's view, the last ti the God Clan had been careless and completely trapped; if they had not suffered backlash entering the spiritual world, in a one-on-one fight, the Shadow God might not have been able to defeat the God Clan.
Not to ntion that this ti, five had co!
How could they fight?
"Well, the intelligence we received confirms the God Clan is indeed sending five to descend, and the church remnants are arranging to receive them."
"I see."
Fang Heng reined in his smile, shifted his gaze from Damon, and looked aside.
"Zane, is everything ready?"
Zane materialized from the shadows beside Fang Heng. "All ready, Brother Fang Heng. The vampires are waiting for your command. We can act anyti. Shall we go now?"
"No rush. Let them wait a little longer."
Zane frowned slightly.
The original plan was for Fang Heng to act before the God Clan's arrival, spending an hour absorbing the dinsional energy of the entire Holy Spirit church world and then blowing it up.
Wouldn't that put the spiritual world firmly in his control?
But now, knowing the God Clan still controlled other passages into the spiritual world and Netherworld, and that only five were sent this ti, Fang Heng reconsidered.
Zane guessed his thoughts and asked, "What? You still want to attack those five God Clan mbers? Is it necessary? Killing them won't change much."
Fang Heng shook his head lightly and asked, "Zane, do you think besides the church temples, the God Clan has other ans to enter the Netherworld?"
"Of course, definitely."
"And what about the spiritual world?"
Zane glanced at the upper-level passage ahead and said, "Most likely they do."
"But these days, we haven't seen any sign of the God Clan in either the spiritual world or the Netherworld," Fang Heng shrugged and continued, "And the God Clan sending only five mbers to descend is already abnormal."
"Ahem, Fang Heng, I don't understand. What exactly do you want to do?"
"Nothing much. I have two guesses."
Fang Heng said calmly, "First, although the God Clan has passages from elsewhere into the Netherworld and spiritual world, these are highly restricted. Descending is not easy and takes a lot more ti."
"As for the second, the God Clan believes the crisis only exists in the Holy Spirit world. They do not realize we have already occupied parts of the Netherworld and spiritual world and misjudge the situation, thinking that sending five people will solve the problem."
"Uh..."
Zane was completely confused. "So? What's the difference?"
"There is still a big difference," Fang Heng shook his head slightly, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes as he continued, "Since the God Clan has only sent five, then we'll have so fun with them."
...
Holy Spirit church world.
The overcast sky gradually tore open a rift.
A dense holy aura poured down from the huge tear, illuminating the entire city.
"Chi, chi chi chi..."
The holy power sprinkled down, and the fungal mats on the city ground sizzled under the holy light, emitting pale blue-white mist as they quickly shrank and purified.
The air was filled with a stench of rot and burning.
Five pillars of light slowly descended from the sky. Five mbers of the God Clan gradually appeared through the descent passages.
Eugene looked into the distance. Seeing the city ravaged and infested by mutant worms, his face darkened, and he muttered repeatedly,
"How could it be the Seed of Ouroboros..."
Recalling the worms that had constantly latched onto him in the black sphere and absorbed his holy power during the last battle, Eugene suddenly understood.
At that ti, not knowing the Shadow God's true identity, and fearing judgnt from the Judgent Court, he had not investigated further. Only now did Eugene grasp the enemy's true nature.
In three days, the entire Central Divine Kingdom had beco a breeding ground for the Seed of Ouroboros, the city covered in a thick fungal mat.
Under the dispelling effect of the holy light, large areas of the fungal mats receded, and many fungal worms crawled out, scurrying through the city trying to hide.
After a mont, the light faded, and five figures appeared in the church altar square.
"Lord Eugene!"
The church mbers presiding over the descent ceremony knelt on one knee upon seeing the God Clan's arrival.
