“The heroes and troops recruited from this server really can’t be trusted. If the Church commands it, they would probably betray me in an instant.”

“Milord, Great Priest Colson has come to visit,” a maid rushed into the study, her tone urgent.

“We need to find out more. His sudden arrival must have alerted the churches everywhere,” Chen Mo, having spent over a year in this world, clearly understood its main currents.

“Treat him well; I will go take a bath and change my clothes,” Chen Mo spoke respectfully.

“The advancement quest for the territory is really too difficult, especially the prestige quest. It actually requires respect and gratitude and other positive emotions to reach 5% across the entire server, alas.”

“I never imagined the territory would have turned into this…”

“Have other lords arrived? Still rank 6 legends? It’s just unknown where they’ve descended.” Within the Divine Realm, Chen Mo looked solemn.

A rank 5 legend among the nobles might already be a significant figure, as those nobles only indulge in eating, drinking, pleasure, and intrigue all day, but among adventurers, mercenaries, mages, priests, and other transcendent beings, he’d be considered part of the upper echelon, not the pinnacle, because there are still ranks like Divine Servant above that.

Rank 7 is the realm of true divines.

After all, being both a priest and a noble, the concatenated BUFFs are quite terrifying.

However, Chen Mo had not considered changing, because he was a beneficiary of the current system. If he really tried to change, he would not only lose his noble status but even his priestly status in the Holy Light Church would be stripped away.

Correspondingly, however, he too got caught up in even greater vortices, including the nobles’ heart-wrenching intrigues, meaningless etiquette, priests’ hierarchical competitions, and various collusions for interests.

But the always cautious Chen did not spend all his Points, which is why he had enough to exchange for a Server Transfer Token during the server-wide war, thereby saving his life.

From the name of the opposing territory, one can tell they’re no good character; he’s been living carefully in this rank 7 Gods’ Realm for over a year now, and only just managed to establish himself.

But his luck was bad, having randomly landed on a server of this type and moreover, a rank 7 one.

Of course, apart from that, there were other benefits as well, such as his noble status which attracted many to serve under him, all of whom were at least Hero units.

Only after securing a noble status through various exchanges of interests, did he manage to stabilize his footing.

Without the power to resist, how could one change the existing distribution of benefits?

The nobles might be powerless, but they receive the protection of divine beings, including not only the Holy Light God but also the likes of the God of Power, God of Nobles, and other divine beings who center around these nobles.

After simply tidying up his complex and ornately decorated noble clothes, he left the study.

The Church and the nobles have never had enough; how could they possibly let the lower classes have enough? Moreover, the commoners are not considered proper human beings but mere lambs for the divine.

Just like Chen Mo himself, uniting the identities of both noble and priest, these two statuses together reduced his troubles by ninety-nine percent.

But life must go on, and since he could not resist, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

From one glimpse, the entirety is revealed—the loyalty of locally recruited heroes to him has never exceeded 50 Points; how sad it is.

Unable to even take care of himself, how could he have the capability to help others? If he did try, not only would the oppressed peasants and serfs fail to thank him, but they might blame him for disrespecting the divine beings.

Every divine being possesses powerful strength and a divine priesthood as unwavering as rules, so he had already given up on active endeavors and decided to honestly develop his territory instead.

Even if a rank 6 Divine Servant encountered him, they would treat him with priestly or noble honors. If he failed in political struggle or was caught, they wouldn’t kill him or even harm him; instead, they would have to provide for him well and then demand compensation through negotiations.

At that time, it would be extremely difficult to move forward.

If Chen Mo were killed by someone breaking the rules, the great nobles and Divine Church would step in to capture the murderer and administer the death penalty, especially the Holy Light Church, which might even deploy Divine Servants or, at the most basic level, form an army composed of Transcendent beings of Legend rank to carry out the retribution.

If he managed to advance both his territory and himself to rank six, he would reach the Divine Servant Level in this server, at which point he would no longer be inconspicuous. Perhaps he could even establish direct contact with the God of Holy Light, thus securing his future without worries.

By now, everything in the whole world had solidified, with absolutely no possibility of change due to the presence of extraordinary power, leaving no opportunities for those at the bottom.

The Divine had permeated every aspect of the world. Initially, he had resisted, but after dozens of Church’s legendary warriors arrived, he understood his place.

For the Divine to spread their faith smoothly, they could not do without the help of the nobles, so nobles were considered to be the second most noble existence after the priests, and the king was naturally a noble as well. Therefore, most of them, regardless of their capability, would serve as a priest for some Divine entity.

The God of Holy Light was the most powerful among all the Divines and also the most widely worshipped. Becoming a noble wasn’t about having a high-born pedigree but about being favored by the Holy Light, for which he even took up the rare profession of Holy Light Priest.

It was under the Divine Church.

Thus, Chen Mo’s identity was highly sought after, but titles and the status of nobility were not so easily attained. He had faced many difficulties, and it was fortunate that he had the talent “Money Can Reach God,” which allowed him to directly solve many otherwise unsolvable problems through money.

Therefore, he paid special attention to resources.

He remembered that at the time, his overall strength was only at the elite Fourth Rank, which was considered average, but he was somewhat lucky and had received impressive rewards in several events. Especially during the initial angel investor event, he had hit the jackpot, earning nearly two million points.

He had integrated into the world, becoming a noble priest who worshipped the God of Holy Light.

He knew that so-called Great Priests were just there to take advantage, and a small payoff was sufficient, as they all behaved this way. The combination of nobles and priests severely corrupted both high and low levels.

For this, he had paid a considerable price. Before his induction was successful, every day was spent in trepidation, fearing the label of heretic.

Appointments of nobles or the ascension of a king were inextricable from the Divine.

In contrast, an earl without even the strength of an apprentice could command a rank six Divine Servant as long as he offered sufficient payment.

When the server he was on initiated a mixed battle for advancement, it was a death battle involving six servers. Unfortunately, his server was not the victor but instead the first to perish, and it was only by chance that he survived due to having a Server Transfer Token.

Because nobles in this world generally equated to wealthy individuals, those Transcendents who lacked money could become his subordinates.

After the maid left, his entire face darkened.

The structure of this world was quite unique, so there was no rule that Transcendents had to be stronger than those they commanded, such as a survival-of-the-fittest law.

The professional levels in this world naturally had a hierarchy: First Rank was apprentice, Second Rank was basic, Third Rank was intermediate, Fourth Rank was advanced, Fifth Rank was legendary, and Sixth Rank was Divine Servant.

These were the current new rules, absolutely prohibiting harm to clergy and nobles, otherwise all forces and Transcendents could join together to punish those who broke the rules.

This maid was from his Lord Mansion, but her recent behavior didn’t seem loyal to him. Instead, she had prioritized the Church and faith.

All these were challenges he needed to respond to. Initially, things were indeed problematic, but later, with the addition of heroes brought into his territory, he gradually adapted.

Under normal circumstances, how would a maid dare to enter a noble’s study without even knocking or asking permission, completely disregarding etiquette?

As for his original talent, it was also quite special, named “Money Can Reach God,” which allowed him to spend resources to make certain wishes. Initially, it wasn’t very useful, but as it evolved, the effect naturally grew stronger. Of course, the cost likewise increased considerably.

As a noble, he certainly had specialized training for this, otherwise he would be ridiculed in nobility circles. Although Chen Mo was an outsider, he had adopted local customs. Otherwise, he would stand out too much.
