It wasn't that Jiang Wang wanted to provoke these people; rather, these people took the initiative to come to his door and cause trouble.

Jiang Wang's approach is very simple; after all, they haven't actually made a move yet, and Jiang Wang won't make a move either.

It's like between countries, where some people threaten to conquer a certain country.

This is just casual banter, don't take it too seriously.

A country with ample military equipment is essentially prepared for both attack and defense, isn't it?

Jiang Wang has plans, but hasn't actually taken any action; he will only continue to observe.

He was angry, but now that he was the leader of a force, he needed to consider more things.

Sometimes, you really can't let your emotions get the better of you; you have to pay attention to all sorts of details.

The relationship between forces is just like the relationship between nations.

Friends and enemies—sometimes it's indeed worthwhile to write these things down.

Ultimately, it all comes down to "interests," and interests are the most important factor.

To start a war now would be to tear off all pretense of civility; given the current situation, there is still room for maneuver.

"The fact that the temple is backing them is indeed very good. If I ask, they will definitely come."

“But I won’t do that, and as you said, the people of the Temple are in trouble themselves now.”

Jiang Wang said, arms crossed, clearly aware of the current situation.

It can be said that as long as he asks, the temple will definitely help him and become his strongest backer.

In such a situation, most powerful forces will not take action, which is a powerful means of restriction.

The temple is currently in trouble, and they may not be able to spare any manpower to help Jiang Wang.

But Jiang Wang is a Chaos Knight, and he has done all sorts of things since his "debut".

Jiang Wang's intention to maintain world peace and protect all living beings may not be entirely pure.

But he did actually do a lot of things.

One moment they were fighting against the abyss's corruption of the orc world, and the next they were in this paradise world, clashing head-on with the World Serpent.

To put it bluntly, such a record is truly remarkable.

If he were to open his mouth and say that he wants to be the Holy Son, I'm afraid a whole bunch of Holy Maidens would start vying for him.

If only he weren't a woman, he would already be a candidate for sainthood and could soon be promoted to sainthood.

In conclusion, as long as he has a need, the people of the Temple will definitely come to help him, no matter what.

But Jiang Wang wouldn't do that.

Because of the war that was brewing, the Temple had no reason to get involved.

Ultimately, this is just a struggle for interests, and the Temple is known for its selflessness.

Their fight against the abyss and against evil has never been about personal gain.

Jiang Wang felt it was best to avoid involving them in this conflict of interests.

If it really is this difficult, then we should ask the Temple to come and help.

They will certainly overcome all obstacles to come, but what happens after that?

It seems that Jiang Wang's connection with the Holy Temple has been completely severed.

After all, this war violated the Temple's most fundamental principles.

He was still hoping to maintain good relations with the Temple, so such a measure was definitely not an option.

"However, what trouble has the Temple encountered?"

Jiang Wang did not intend to rely on the power of the temple, but he was very curious about it.

What trouble could such a massive organization as the Temple possibly encounter?

No matter what kind of enemy they are, they can easily defeat them, that's for sure.

The light of salvation is no joke; the reason they can save the world is because they are powerful enough.

Saving the world without power is just empty talk.

"You should have heard of the organization Absolute Holy Light, right?"

Paper Wolf said, mentioning a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"The last of the three madmen, right? They're a bunch of incomprehensible guys."

World Serpent, Pleasure Crowd, Absolute Holy Light—these are the so-called three madmen.

The World Serpent is alright, but the latter two are a bit confusing.

The Pleasure Clan are purely for entertainment; their goal is to destroy the world.

Absolute Holy Light, on the other hand, is a mystery within a mystery, even seeming unbelievable.

"I remember their philosophy was zero tolerance for the forces of the Abyss, right?"

Jiang Wang said that this so-called zero tolerance means that it truly cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of abyss.

"That's right, a world that shows signs of the abyss."

"They won't deal with the abyss; they'll just destroy the world."

"Because to them, the abyss is like a cockroach; if one appears here, there's bound to be a whole nest of them."

"Even if you step on a cockroach and kill it, the eggs will fly everywhere and breed more cockroaches."

Paper Wolf said, using the peculiar creature of a cockroach to describe the power of the abyss.

He makes a lot of sense; that's reality.

Just like the world where Shuten-dōji was born, it was severely ravaged by the abyss.

The protective measure adopted in that world was "creating gods," while the power of the abyss possessed the corpses of the gods.

This is how the giant serpent was born.

One by one, gods and a giant serpent appeared, and then the giant serpent was reborn.

This creates a cycle where the gods become tainted by the abyss and gradually descend into the abyss of death.

The corpse merged with the giant serpent, accelerating its evolution, and gradually transformed into the Yamata no Orochi.

This is the terrifying aspect of the power of the abyss.

A world has been corrupted by the abyss, even if it was dealt with decisively at the beginning.

However, it's hard to guarantee that more abysses won't be created in the future.

Could the creatures in the world be influenced and seduced by the abyss?

Even the slightest abyss has the potential to spread, leading to an even greater crisis.

Therefore, after the temple has resolved the problem of the abyss, it usually leaves behind an alarm system.

It's basically a building that can be connected to the temple.

If an abyss appears, people can be called out in time, which can serve as a warning.

Most of these buildings will be constructed in the shape of palaces.

On one hand, it was an act of gratitude from the locals, because the arrival of the temple's people had saved the world.

The saviors of the temple, they are like gods, and should be worshipped.

As more and more temples were built, the name of the Temple organization gradually became known.

It might not have been called the Temple at first, but as so many of these temples were built, people got used to calling it that.

Temples stand in all corners of the world, but sometimes these temples and the concept of the Holy Light are deliberately distorted.

In order to make profits, all sorts of religious sects were created.

In any case, the Temple's approach was relatively gentle.

Suppress first, then gradually govern.

Although it is true that sometimes we can't keep up, over the years, there haven't been any major problems with its operation.

That's how the temple developed step by step.
