Chapter 1208
The heavy armored war elephant corps from the South Continent was one of Lamia clan's hidden cards. It was originally prepared for a possible second war between factions that could arise with humans.
However, now, this hidden card is being put into action directly.
Because Lamias have come to the conclusion that a future faction war is no longer necessary.
Essentially, the war between the Leviathan faction and the human faction was for the distribution of resources in this world.
Humans needed more resources to grow, while the Leviathan faction needed vast lands for reproduction. This was an irreconcilable contradiction and the fundamental reason for humans waging war against the dragon race.
The emergence of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order is a new signal for the Leviathan faction.
The appearance of the mysterious ancient relic, the Sacred Silver Dragon, has shown the Leviathan faction a brand new dawn.
The Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order's goal is not limited to this world, but to a broader future.
The strong members of the Leviathan Faction also chose this path and decided to create a brand new future with the new Holy Silver Dragon Alliance as the core.
With the agreement reached between the knights of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order from the South Continent and the heavy armored war elephant troops, the progress of the Leviathan Faction in reclaiming Su has increased once again, surpa.s.sing 75%.
Not only here, but also in the Church Legion from the West Continent, there are appearances of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order.
This time, it was the mermaid princess Heidi who went to negotiate.
The human church, which is the religious power, didn't exist in the divine era.
In the divine era of Sia's world, it was the age of knights and mages, especially the powerful red-robed mages who dominated the land.
They built one mage tower after another, and even today, remnants of those mage towers can still be seen all over the continent.
In that era, there was no soil for the existence of religion. Powerful red-robed mages controlled the entire world. In the divine era, when magical power was at its peak, magic spells were the strongest force.
It was not until the end of the divine era and the arrival of the period of magic tide decline that humans struggled to leave Sia Continent and began to immigrate to other continents, facing extremely harsh environments. It was then that a certain belief quietly emerged.
At this moment, the priests in the Western Black Crusade are the messengers of G.o.d.
This divine being, beloved by the people of the Western continent, was born after the divine era. With a black cross as its emblem, it is a deity of courage and hope.
The priests of this deity of courage and hope excel in a praying technique called "Battle Hymn."
As long as there is a priest present, the crusaders can unleash unimaginable fighting power.
The Courage Hymn that boosts willpower.
The Pa.s.sionate Hymn that enhances attack power.
The Sacred Hymn that heals injuries.
Within the context of the declining magic era, the Crusaders, who still possess extraordinary power inheritance, may be the rarest army in the human world, led by priests who excel in divine magic.
As long as the priests are still present, the Crusaders will never surrender, even if they shed their last drop of blood, they will fight to the end.
So why can the priests still have extraordinary casting abilities when all the human mages have perished? Do the G.o.ds they believe in truly exist?
The answer is that there are no G.o.ds in this world, except one - Creator G.o.d's Sword Sia. This is the origin of the Sia tribe and the only deity recognized by the Leviathan faction.
As for the G.o.d of courage and hope in the Western continent, it was created by the Mermaid clan.
Yes, just like the heavily armored war elephant corps in the South Continent, the Cross Church of the West Continent is also a creation of the Leviathan faction, penetrating into humanity through the dominate Mermaid clan.
Similarly, they are weapons prepared for the possible outbreak of a second world war between the Leviathan faction and humanity in the future.
The priests of the G.o.d of Courage are not pure humans, or rather, pure humans cannot master the divine art called "prayer" at all.
The essence of this divine art comes from the Mermaid clan's bloodline, a transcendental physique created by the fusion of Mermaid clan's magic and human babies.
Every time this secret art is cast, it requires the precious casting material called "black whale oil" and a voluntary sacrifice of a royal member of the Mermaid clan.
The number of royal members in the Mermaid clan is not many, and the sacrifice of each individual is a big event. However, in order to create this non-existent belief in G.o.ds, they still choose this most difficult path.
Naturally, these extraordinary priests know where they come from and faithfully follow their own missions, spreading the belief in the G.o.d of Courage.
They are children of mermaids and the Children of G.o.d in the Courage Church, serving as the spiritual leaders of the West Continent.
For humans, hope is necessary, even if it is false and the divine doesn't exist.
After experiencing centuries of deceit, the false n.o.ble families can become true aristocrats. The non-existent divine, through the dedication of the marine priests over generations, becomes a sanctuary for the human soul.
Leaving behind the Sia Continent, the Courage Church has laid roots in the West Continent, gradually establis.h.i.+ng cities, civilizations, and nations. The church has played a crucial role in this process.
The existence of prayer magic and the belief in the G.o.d of Courage are as natural to the people of the West Continent as breathing.
They are baptized in the church from birth, gathering every weekend to pray. Young boys with the talent for combat are nurtured by the church and eventually become loyal crusaders.
Growing up listening to tales of brave knights and understanding the importance of the priests to the Courage Church, they are willing to die for the priests. This loyalty transcends earthly bonds and is more important than life itself.
Oh, by the way, the priests of the G.o.d of Courage have a similar beauty to that of mermaids, but in a male form.
Heidi came before the Crusaders of the West Continent, politely bowing as a tribute to the predecessors who sacrificed their lives to fulfill their mission on this earth.
"La..." Then came a melodic song that could only be produced by mermaids, it was their unique way of conveying messages, known as the Mermaid's Song.
Several priests, dressed in black with perfect beauty, the G.o.d of Courage, stood up one by one. They looked at each other and nodded.
"We understand."
"If that is everyone's will."
"The G.o.ds surely also expect it."
"For courage and hope."
With a cross-mark on their chests, the priests of the West Continent praised the nonexistent deities and reached an understanding with the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order.
The progress bar for the epic quest "The Resurrection of Leviathan" moved again, reaching eighty percent.
......
Even though it wasn't Yun Xi who took on this mission, he was now in a deserted tower not far from the Babylon Sky Tower, nervously watching the faceless G.o.d in front of him.
His next camp mission, "Sia's Light," was reaching a critical point.
The purpose of this mission was to collect twelve Constellation G.o.d's Weapons and ultimately revive Su, the creator G.o.d Sia.
Originally, Yun Xi thought that this mission was simply about collecting the scattered Twelve Constellation G.o.ds' Weapons from around the world.
However, after bringing back eight pieces of the Constellation G.o.d's Weapons from the Underground Cemetery, which was ruled by his childhood friend, El’phyllis, Yun Xi realized that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
At first, it wasn't very obvious, just a slight sign.
As time pa.s.sed, this sign became more and more obvious. Specifically, the faceless G.o.d, who was originally blank, was emitting a strong signal.
The eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons also responded to the signal emitted by the faceless G.o.d.
Yun Xi believed that if it wasn't for Pafu's mischief, the original system of the faceless G.o.d would have woken up and accepted these eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons.
This means that these eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons were originally meant for the faceless G.o.d.
The mission of the faceless G.o.d is to collect these Constellation G.o.d's Weapons and, in the end, restore the legendary Creator G.o.d's Sword Sia.
Yun Xi could even deduce that this mission had always existed.
However, it was not originally him who was supposed to carry out this mission, but Ain, a girl from the Adley lineage who fully awakened her virgin constellation bloodline many years later.
Since birth, she could sense the existence of the faceless G.o.d and would personally release its seal, using the power of her bloodline to pa.s.s all trials and gain the recognition and inheritance of the faceless G.o.d.
When all Twelve Constellation G.o.ds' Weapons are gathered, the faceless G.o.d will awaken completely, revealing the invincible stance of the divine vessel and uniting Sia's world.
That era would be the resurrection of the Creator G.o.d's Sword Sia.
As for Yun Xi, it was obvious that he had no part in this plan because he never received the faceless G.o.d's inheritance. It seemed like this was not something prepared for him.
However, Yun Xi had Pafu in his hands.
The mischievous Pafu caused the original system of the faceless G.o.d to crash. The bloodline recognition and matching mechanism that should have existed disappeared along with it. The Pafu System replaced the original divine vessel system, allowing Yun Xi to use the power of the faceless G.o.d.
However, the mission of the faceless G.o.d didn't disappear. The system woven by Pafu, which allowed the future Sia to manipulate the bloodline of the faceless G.o.d, was the only thing destroyed.
The faceless G.o.d itself didn't suffer any damage. It is a puppet prepared for the G.o.ds, a vessel carrying the mission of resurrecting Sia.
Now, this vessel has encountered the Constellation G.o.d's Weapons that Yun Xi has retrieved and immediately entered the pre-determined mission mode.
The faceless G.o.d, sleeping in the tower of the G.o.ds, is the cradle of the "G.o.d" and the container that protects the Creator G.o.d Sia.
One by one, the Constellation G.o.d's Weapons were absorbed into the faceless G.o.d. The blank face of the faceless G.o.d gradually started to reveal beautiful contours.
That was a feeling of nostalgic memories for Yun Xi, as if he had seen the shadow in a dream.
Gentle yet firm.
Beautiful and lovely.
Although the most important and spiritual eyes were still closed, and one eye was covered by a steel eyepatch, the faceless G.o.d had already begun to show the charm of a divine being.
"How did you do this... I can feel it... something is awakening in Su..." Yun Xi looked at the faceless G.o.d with immense respect.
He was wrong, completely wrong.
This might not be some faceless G.o.d, it was just a nickname given by the uninformed Ain to this perfect puppet.
When the faceless G.o.d obtains its true face and opens its eyes, this towering forty-meter puppet will undergo a complete transformation.
The faceless G.o.d will be inscribed with the essence of the Creator G.o.d Sia and become a half-divine being.
At that time, the faceless G.o.d will be a flawless and sublime existence, a gift prepared by the mysterious puppet maker for his friend Sia.
The eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons shaped the mouth, nose, eyebrows, and ears of the faceless G.o.d, with only the final and most important eyes remaining unfinished.
Yun Xi knew that the faceless G.o.d would only have a true appearance after he collected the last four Constellation G.o.d's Weapons.
At that moment, it was also the moment when the legendary creator G.o.d "Sia" revived Su in this world, the end point of his trial called "Sia's Light."
After absorbing eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons, the faceless G.o.d fell silent once again, but now Yun Xi's gaze towards the faceless G.o.d had changed.
He could clearly sense that something was different, the faceless G.o.d infused with the eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons was evolving towards a higher stage.
Everything was predestined, whether it was him or the faceless G.o.d who was originally meant to welcome a descendant of Sia's bloodline in a future time period, they were doing the same thing.
Creator G.o.d's Sword Sia will undoubtedly revive Su in this world, displaying the glory of the divine.
"Pafu... Is there something different?" entering the core of the faceless G.o.d once again, Yun Xi discovered that the surroundings were completely different from before.
On the previously blank floor of the core s.p.a.ce, a huge emblem appeared, composed of twelve different constellation patterns, with eight of them already illuminated, emitting a mysterious radiance naturally.
"Pafu!"
"Pafu!"
Inside the gem on Yun Xi's chest, the little creature called Pafu called out to its clones and received many echoes of "Poof, Poof."
Echoes from all directions told Yun Xi that the Pafu System still existed, not only that, but it seemed to have gained some unimaginable benefits.
It seemed that while the faceless G.o.d automatically absorbed eight Constellation G.o.d's Weapons, the Pafu clones were also considered part of its body and joined in this process.
The faceless G.o.d, evolving towards the perfect divine vessel, had a power that Yun Xi couldn't understand. The Pafu clones, who already had exceptional potential and adaptability, gained more than triple the strengthening as a result.
Now, Yun Xi could control the faceless G.o.d for a significantly longer time, increasing from five minutes at a stretch to fifteen minutes.
