A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1043 - 1029: Demon Invasion!
Faced with Loloya's playful boasting, the City Lord rolled their eyes.
Typically maintaining a mysterious and aloof demeanor, the City Lord at this moment actually seemed somewhat endearing to Baiyu. However, he quickly realized that this was not the true form of the City Lord.
Like the City Lord's Attendant, Qian Xin.
The City Lord.
Clearly had numerous doppelgangers.
Qian Xin could control the actions of doppelgangers, while the City Lord seemed capable of sending their will to any of her statues.
This kind of method.
Was obviously somewhat inhuman.
"City Lord, what urgent matter did you call us back for?"
Baiyu asked.
The City Lord reclined lazily in the chair, saying, "Actually, there's nothing extremely urgent. The Silence Bookstore contacted me, preparing to conduct a major cleansing on Canglan Star, and they must have approached the leaders of other major forces as well.
The Silence Bookstore plans to eradicate all cultists and pagans on the planet, leaving only the churches that worship the Seven Gods.
Namely, the Holy Light Church of the Lord of Radiance.
The Church of the God of Mechanics of Steam and Mechanics.
The Wisdom Sect of the Foolish Wise Man.
The Blade Brotherhood of the God of War and the Scar God.
The Oath Keepers of the God of Justice.
The Life Sect of the Life Goddess.
These six churches have contributed significantly to the stability of Canglan Star over the years and have also achieved outstanding results in fighting against demons and foreign races.
Of course.
The main point is, the corruption within these six churches has already been eliminated. Baiyu, since you've had contact with the Holy Light Church, you probably know something about it.
The Holy Light Church underwent a major blood exchange.
And this action.
Was also a divine oracle personally given by the Lord of Radiance.
The other churches have also experienced something similar, and now the Seven Gods Church is generally trustworthy.
Because the Spiritual Qi is about to dissipate.
The Silence Bookstore evidently can't tolerate the chaos on Canglan Star and is personally trying to integrate things. After the Spiritual Qi dissipates, the Silence Bookstore will negotiate with the Human Imperial to retain the status of Canglan Star as the 'Land of the Gods'."
A single speech.
Involved many areas Baiyu was unfamiliar with.
Although he had never interacted with anyone from the Silence Bookstore, it wasn't difficult to discern from the City Lord's words that this group wielded immense power.
They could directly converse with the leaders of several major nations.
And they had the power to consolidate a planet and negotiate with the Human Imperial.
Also.
The City Lord clearly mentioned Seven Gods, but there were only six churches. Has the remaining one evaporated?
"The Night Watcher doesn't have a church, or rather, anyone Chasing Light is their follower."
The City Lord explained.
The Seven Gods.
Were evidently seven humans who became the Meat Origin God.
They stood firm with humanity from the start of the war. Other kinds of deities clearly had their own plans.
The Red Cup, Velvet, and so on.
Were not deified by humans but were special beings.
Other foreign race deities, some stood with demons, some remained neutral, and some maintained good relations with humanity.
Looking back through the history of Canglan Star.
It was a bloody and tear-filled war history of continuing confrontations between humans and demons.
Demons wanted to rush out from the Spirit Realm, while humans continually stopped them.
Evidently, similar happenings must be occurring elsewhere in the universe, but no place was like Canglan Star, with so many Spirit Realm exits.
After the City Lord mentioned the Silence Bookstore, she didn't stop but continued, "In addition, it is apparent that the dissipation of Spiritual Qi has also been sensed by demons.
The Spiritual Qi Revival is gradually entering the third phase.
Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Realm is surging into Canglan Star like waves, and various space-time rifts are emerging one after another. Recently, many demons, Exotic Beasts, and alien races may come to the planet through those temporary rifts."
Upon hearing this news, Baiyu's first reaction was that Canglan Star would obviously plunge into endless warfare, but he quickly realized.
The City Lord could still sit here calmly explaining the situation to them.
Obviously, matters hadn't deteriorated to that extent yet.
"The upcoming days on Canglan Star will be far from peaceful, with ordinary people, Martial Artists, and the Extraordinary all facing constant danger.
Baiyu.
You've inherited the legacies of the Black Moon and Seven Coils, but currently, you have no understanding of how to wield the Divine Power of deities, nor can you communicate with the Divine Country of Black Moon and Seven Coils.
So I called you back.
I don't want you to miss this enrollment of the Silence Bookstore."
The City Lord's tone was calm: "The Silence Bookstore records the deepest secrets of the Divine Spirits, as well as knowledge and stories forgotten in the long river of history.
They are the agents of the Divine Spirits in this world.
The primordial Sun, or rather the Blazing Sun, granted this group a special status, which has lasted for over ten thousand years without ever changing.
They study the Spirit Realm, study the universe, study Endless Dreams.
One could say.
The Silence Bookstore is the observer of our world, and long ago a Great Prophet predicted that the planet's Spiritual Qi would dissipate one day. At that time, it would be our moment to step out.
We are beasts trapped in a cage, warriors imprisoned; one day, we will return to that battlefield of blood and fire."
The City Lord's tone suddenly grew excited, and afterward, they mumbled some words Baiyu couldn't clearly hear.
Given his current hearing.
He could clearly hear even the sound of a pin dropping ten meters away.
Obviously, the latter content wasn't meant for him to hear. It's undeniable—riddlers are always the most detestable.
"Are you saying I should go to the Silence Bookstore?"
Baiyu asked solemnly.
The City Lord nodded: "You have been valued by several deities, which already proves your potential. At the Silence Bookstore, you will learn what you wish to know.
Next.
Canglan Star is very likely to engage in a major decisive battle with demons. Without strength, survival will be impossible.
You need to work hard to enhance your power."
Having said that.
She then turned her gaze to Loloya: "For the time being, don't go there either. Since the Silence Bookstore intends to deal with the matters of the Human Imperial, leave it to them. The current Human Imperial is not the same as it was thousands of years ago.
Those old guys still think Canglan Star is the center of the Imperial and sooner or later, they will learn a bitter lesson."
…
The City Lord did not demand Baiyu to set off immediately, only letting him decide on his own terms; if he chose not to go to the Silence Bookstore, no one would force him.
However.
The spatial rifts would become more frequent.
Without strength, it would be difficult to cope with the coming battles.
Since the City Lord had spoken so, it was a judgment that Baiyu's current power was utterly insufficient, the Eclipse Moon Realm Flawless Moon Level wasn't enough for what lay ahead.
Not to mention entering a broader universe after the Spiritual Qi dissipates.
Baiyu left the holy Purple Crystal School and sat for a while at a tavern outside the school, enjoying the rare moment of relaxation.
Recently, he hardly ever had time to spare.
Soon.
He left the tavern and headed straight to the East Prosperity Imperial embassy, meeting Cang Yan and Moon Lady, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
