Chapter 819: Chapter 820 Mysterious Moonlight Sword_1

“To think that there really are War Puppets capable of contending with the gods…” Song Jian had a look of amazement on his face.

“As long as the damage reaches a certain degree, it can harm the gods, but gods definitely cannot be defeated by something crafted by mortals!” Cecilia’s face showed a hint of coldness as she pointed towards the mountain range that was collapsing and said, “The Gray Dwarves created War Puppets that could injure the gods, but in the end, they were unsuccessful, and their entire clan was eradicated. This is the punishment from the gods for their audacious attempt to usurp divine power with mere mortal bodies!”

Song Jian remained silent. To him, all this was too distant. He wasn’t even up to level forty, nor had he achieved second-tier Combat Power. The levels of those gods had probably long since surpassed several hundred;

“Song Jian, you are the most outstanding divine descendant I have seen. Your arrival in this world is not without reason!” Cecilia said, “The gods are watching you, hoping to select from among you someone to represent their will in the mortal realm, to become the Holy Child. You will obtain everything!”

“Sorry, I need to think this over carefully and can’t give you an answer right now!” Song Jian said with a smile, “However, if you really wish to build a temple dedicated solely to the Goddess of Dawn within the territory of the City of Hope, it’s not impossible, but you will have to pay a corresponding price—a price matching the value of a temple!”

Going against the Church of the Goddess of Dawn with Song Jian’s current strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but Song Jian also couldn’t just donate hundreds of acres of land to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn for nothing.

...

Cecilia smiled faintly and said to Song Jian, “What if I use a Magic Crystal Mine in exchange for three hundred acres of the City of Hope’s land, what do you think?”

“A Magic Crystal Mine?” Song Jian was startled, then looked towards the already collapsed mountain range, pointing to the ruins where magma continued to erupt and spread, and said, “You mean this one right here?”

“Exactly, this one!” Cecilia nodded;

Song Jian quickly asked, “Can you restore it to its original state?”

“The gods are omnipresent and omnipotent!” Cecilia said with a serious expression.

“Alright, as long as you can restore this Magic Crystal Mine to its original state, then in the City of Hope, you will have a piece of three hundred acres of land, forever belonging to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn!” Song Jian nodded and said;

Cecilia smiled slightly, spread her hands, and a Codex as thick as a finger suddenly appeared out of thin air, hovering in her palm.

Rustle~

The Codex turned its own pages as if an invisible hand were flipping through it, and in a short time, it flipped to a certain page in the middle, immediately emitting a milky white light.

“Now, it’s the moment to witness a divine miracle!” Cecilia said with a reverential expression, speaking softly;

The milky white light bursting from the Codex was like a vast heavenly tree, slowly extending upwards into the sky, and then gently spreading out in all directions.

In a short while, a giant phantom of a goddess appeared in the sky;

Cecilia, holding the Codex, knelt on the ground, reciting praises to the Goddess of Dawn, and the phantom of the goddess in midair, almost occupying half of the sky, turned towards Song Jian with a slight smile, raising her right hand gently;

The mountain range, which had already collapsed, suddenly issued a “rumble”, as if a mysterious force had reshaped it. In a short while, the collapsed Magic Crystal Mine slowly restored itself, and the familiar entrance of the mine reappeared before Song Jian’s eyes.

A look of shock emerged on Song Jian’s face. He had not expected to witness such mighty power within the game;

It was important to note that the abilities in the game could be brought back to the real world, which also meant that the miracle performed by Cecilia summoning the Goddess of Dawn had a significant chance of being realized in reality;

After the mine was restored, the goddess’s silhouette in the sky and the white light from the temple in Cecilia’s hands began to fade away. Clasping the temple together, Cecilia stood up, and with a smile on her face, said to Song Jian, “The inside of the mine has been restored to its original state, and the monsters inside have been cleared out!”

Song Jian’s heart leapt with joy, and he quickly asked, “Will they never appear again?”

Cecilia nodded and said, “They will not appear again. However, this place is ultimately cursed by the gods, and even the Goddess of Dawn cannot eliminate the god-repelling effect of this area, after all, it is filled with the divine powers of various deities!”

Song Jian’s heart sank a bit. If that was truly the case, the number of miners who could enter the mine to extract ore would drastically decrease—after all, not many players could withstand the god-repelling effect and continue mining;

Back at Manor Castle, Song Jian thought of opening his inventory to check the items he had obtained from the epic chest earlier;

From the chest, Song Jian had gained three items in total, two scrolls, and one piece of epic gear;

Both scrolls were of gold quality, one of which was a sword technique scroll that could teach a move called “Mysterious Moonlight Sword”;

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

“Mysterious Moonlight Sword, level 1, instant cast, skill effect: Lock onto a target three meters away, instantly rush to the target’s side, inflicting nine consecutive hits of damage to the target’s body. If the first strike causes damage, then it will certainly induce a float effect, followed by continuous attacks, each strike causing 35% weapon damage; Skill cost: 18 Spirit Points, cooldown: 5 seconds; Usage requirement: One-handed Sword;”

Even Song Jian was somewhat envious of this sword technique, reluctant to use it to increase the proficiency of the Ten Thousand Swords Flying Immortal Art, as this sword skill was both practical for ambushes and regular combat. If one could not withstand the first sword, it would cause a floating effect;

It was well known that enemies in a floating state were completely defenseless, making it easier to inflict critical damage, without the chance of “block” or “immunity to damage” effects;

Although the subsequent damage was only 35% of the weapon damage, slightly low, with the skill level increased, he believed its damage could be enhanced. With the rapid succession of nine strikes, plus the Five Elements Heaven-breaking Sword’s ultra-high base damage, this sword technique would surely bring Song Jian pleasant surprises;

After hesitating for a long while, Song Jian decided not to use this skill to enhance his Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision. If he later felt that the skill was not as good as he imagined, he could still feed it to his Ten Thousand Swords Flying Immortal Art;

The other scroll was an engineering blueprint. Seeing this blueprint, Song Jian’s eyes suddenly lit up;
