Endless prayers kept echoing in Ella's mind, almost driving her crazy. The situation did not improve until she entered the space-time gate.

Without the moonlight, the restlessness of the godhead gradually subsided, and Ella had a chance to catch her breath.

The Wizard Council's offensive came too fast. If they could delay it a little longer, even if the Moon Goddess left some backup plans in her godhead, she would be able to deal with it with ease based on her hundreds of years of preparation and accumulation!

Most importantly, once she completely integrates and masters this godhood, she will be able to use the thousands of church statues scattered across the empire as the core and allow the kingdom of God to descend upon the entire continent.

Only then can she be considered a true god! Just like Diana, the moon goddess in the past!

It's a pity that everything is ruined now...

Ella looked back at the vortex of time and space behind her, her anger rising, but she quickly adjusted herself and turned her gaze towards this cold, dark and chaotic plane.

To put it more accurately, this is a declining kingdom of God, the domain of Diana, the goddess of the moon!

The matter and magic power inside it continued to drain away. In a few dozen or a hundred years, it would die...

In a trance, Ella heard the prayers and shouts again. The sound was very strange and it was not any language she knew, but she could understand its meaning.

There are believers holding a ceremony to call upon the Moon God!

After a slight hesitation, Ella flew over aimlessly, while sorting out the scattered memories of Diana in her mind.

When the godhead was merged before, what flowed down from the full moon was not only magic power, but also some memories belonging to the Moon God.

In a sense, this was not a good thing, because the more memories she took in, the faster she would be assimilated.

The only thing to be thankful for is that after entering the space-time gate, although this assimilation has not been eliminated, it has almost stagnated.

Obviously, the opponent's power cannot be transmitted through the space-time gate, at least the "dead" Moon God cannot do this! In this moment of thinking, the shouting has become closer and closer, and the sight is a large area of ​​fluorescent magic plants, flaming mushrooms.

They are spread all over the area and are one of the few places with light in the dark and cold kingdom of God.

By the side of a frozen lake, thousands of emaciated figures were kneeling on a clearing among a bush of demonic mushrooms, praying in compassionate tones toward a makeshift, crude altar.

But they are not her followers, but those who belong to Diana, the goddess of the moon!

For a moment, Ella wanted to take action to eliminate all the opponents, but finally gave up the idea. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand, and the fluorescent light emitted by the surrounding magic plants [Fiery Mushrooms] gathered in an orderly manner.

The Moko people who were kneeling on the ground for routine prayers soon noticed this strange sight. Their expressions were either panic or astonishment. Only the high priest who presided over the ceremony shouted with great enthusiasm.

"Lord, you are finally back!"

The gathered fluorescent light gradually formed a human figure. Although the face was slightly different from the Moon God on the statue, the high priest could clearly sense that he had regained the ability to cast divine spells.

The person in front of me must be the Moon God without a doubt!

The rest of the Moko people were also extremely excited. They knelt on the ground and shouted wildly, hoping that the great Moon God would bestow his grace upon them and grant them light.

Ella looked at the Moko people who were kneeling on the ground in front of her, and did not respond rashly. Instead, she asked.

"Are you the only ones here? Where are the others?"

In Diana's memory, this divine domain was extremely vast, several times larger than the imperial territory controlled by the church, and had a large population. Even if some of them migrated, the number that remained would be extremely terrifying.

The majority of the tribes are humans, and the secondary tribes are the Moko, halflings, and some orcs and goblins...

But according to her perception, the number of followers of Diana, the Moon Goddess, has become extremely scarce, scattered throughout the entire area, and the tribe in front of her is already the largest in number.

The old high priest hurriedly explained that ever since it was cut off from the main plane of this world and the great Moon God had lost contact, the interior of the kingdom of God had become extremely dangerous.

First, the temperature dropped sharply to the point where people could be easily frozen to death. They were lucky to have found this patch of magical mushrooms, and they survived by relying on the little light and heat it provided.

Secondly, without God's protection and without sunlight, how to grow food became a very big problem.

Before, the remaining Moko people could barely survive by digging plant roots from the ground, but now almost all the food has been eaten by them. Hundreds of people starve to death every month, and they are forced to hunt at great risk.

The tribe's captive livestock had all died in such a harsh environment, and creatures from the outside world were no exception. The ones left were either powerful magical beasts or creatures that were good at hiding and not afraid of the cold.

So most of the time, they went up to deliver rations.

Ella couldn't help but frown. Even so, not all of them should die.

"It's the Lord of the Dead." The Moko priest said with a trembling voice. "Twenty years ago, the Lord of the Dead invaded this divine domain and brutally slaughtered tens of millions of people, turning them into dead spirits..."

The enemy of the Moon God? Ella quickly found information about the Lord of the Dead from her limited memory. The contradiction between the two was not that big. The reason why Diana separated the God's Domain from the main world was to monopolize the newly found plane.

This declining divine domain was obviously very suitable for the survival of the undead, which might be the reason for the other party's massive invasion.

"Great Lord... please grant us light." The priest lowered his head deeply, crying and begging at the top of his lungs.

Ella was silent for a moment. It was naturally no problem for her to bestow light. As long as she cast the divine spell, she could create an area of ​​light.

But this obviously cannot solve the problem, because what the other party really needs is temperature and food, and doing so would be too conspicuous.

With the help of the divine power, she could actually control this divine realm to a certain extent, but she did not do so.

On the one hand, they are worried that assimilation will deepen again, and on the other hand, it is easy to expose their existence.

But now that she still needs these people, gathering some of their faith will also help her recover her strength.

After pondering for a while, Ella suddenly raised her hand as if she remembered something.

Finally, Ray...

Ella's mind moved, and flashing thunder exploded, blending the water with various elements in the void.

Using the void as a pot and magic as a shovel, transforming the inorganic into the organic... This is the bread-making technique that Lin En invented and later secretly learned!

About ten seconds later, bread rain began to fall from the sky, and square pieces of bread bricks fell from the sky.

Later, she felt that this was too slow. How long would it take to produce enough food to supply thousands of people for at least a month? She didn't have the time to waste most of her efforts, so she simply simplified the steps and used only water, carbon dioxide, and lightning as raw materials to produce starch, which increased the speed several times.

The white powder soon piled up into a small hill! When Ella saw that there were enough, she stopped and said, "This is the food given to you!"

The miracle of creating food out of the void made all the Moko people stunned. After hearing the words of God, many hungry people could not help but grab the bread bricks that fell beside them and began to devour them voraciously.

Although the bread bricks have no taste, they have a very soft texture, which almost made the Moco people, who have been eating plant-based food for decades, cry. They suddenly felt that this was the most delicious thing in the world.

Ella nodded secretly. The little magic performed by the wizards did have some skills.

Otherwise, she could only use the divine spell Rain of Sweet Rain to catalyze the production of food, which not only consumed more magic power, but most importantly, she did not have any suitable food seeds.

After eating the soft bread to temporarily stave off hunger, the Moko priest hurriedly led everyone to devoutly thank the great moon goddess Diana for her generous gift!

Hearing Diana's name again, Ella couldn't help but frowned, then she spoke in a cold voice and corrected him, "My divine name is Ella, Diana is just a mispronunciation!"

Misreading?

The priest who was leading everyone to kneel and worship was completely dumbfounded and almost doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

How could there be a mispronunciation of God’s name?

Although it had been a long time, the Moko priest still remembered that everyone chanted the name of Diana at that time, and he was sure that he was not mistaken.

But the Moon God, who was kind, showed miracles and gave them food, was standing in front of them, and the connection between them also proved this.

Did I really read it wrong or remember it wrong?

If it was a clergyman of a higher rank, he would surely realize that something was wrong, but he was just a small priest, and instead became a little terrified, even wondering if he had been pronouncing the name of God wrong.

"How long have I been away?" Ella suddenly asked.

"Lord, you have been gone for nearly seventy years!" The halfling priest said with tears in his eyes and a trembling voice.

Only seventy years? Ella couldn't help but frown. She knew that there was a certain difference in the speed of time between the two worlds.

But according to Diana's memory, once the plane is captured, the passage of time on both sides will gradually tend to be consistent.

Although Ella had some doubts in her heart, she did not show them. To her, some of Diana's memories could only be used as a reference. There might be traps hidden in them and they could not be fully trusted.

"I have entered another dimension during this period, so I have temporarily cut off contact with you. Tell me, what exactly happened in the kingdom of God during the seventy years I was away? I need to know every single thing." Ella looked at everyone indifferently, with starlight flashing in her eyes that made people dare not look directly at her.

The current situation can only be described as terrible. This divine domain is on the verge of collapse due to the loss of magic power and mass, and a Lord of the Undead is preparing to seize it.

It can even be said that the other side has been half successful, and Diana's followers are almost all killed.

Once he returns to the other side of the space-time gate, he will have to face the resurrected Moon God and the group of wizards who would use [Skyfall] to bombard him at any time.

It can be said that there is a dead end on both sides, she needs more information!

…

On the other side of the space-time gate, the vast universe, the Eternal Star, within the empire.

The excavation of the holy city lasted for more than half a month.

This city was so huge, covering an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers. Even with the use of magic and mechanical power to dig it out, it took half a month to dig out only one-third of it.

Fortunately, the library that Lin En and others were looking for has been found. Since it was only caused by the underground nuclear explosion, the books inside were not seriously damaged. The parliament also sent a number of people to search for information about the time and space gate and the war of faith hundreds of years ago.

During this period, the conquest of cities across the empire did not stop. The kingdom's musketeers advanced rapidly and soon occupied more than one-third of the empire's territory.

The smooth progress was due to the inexplicable deaths of most of the priests, bishops and even cardinals defending the city, as well as the merchants' leaking of intelligence, inciting the defenders to revolt and welcoming the king's army. It can almost be said that the whole process was smooth sailing! If Lin En had not specifically instructed to conduct a wave of liquidation in each place, the speed would have been even faster!

The senior members of the parliament were also not idle. They could even be said to be on tenterhooks, fearing that Ella would come back from the other side of the space-time gate.

Even though they have blocked all known time and space nodes, it is not 100% safe.

Meanwhile, Harof, Aurora, and Vittorio were thinking about how to develop magic and further enhance their strength.

Although the battle in the Holy City was difficult, it brought them a lot of gains. The legendary realm was very unfamiliar to the three of them. Ella had gone further than them and was somewhat of a guiding light.

In this battle, the one who gained the most was naturally Lin En. With the help of the magic net, he temporarily experienced the power of the eight-ring wizard and also pondered a very important issue.

Lin En had long discovered that his magic network was very similar to Ella's belief system of becoming a god, both of which amplified their own power by calling on the computing power of others.

The question is, why am I not affected by the so-called poison of faith?

To some extent, those wizards connected to the magic network were his "believers", but when he used the computing power of these people, it was very smooth, and there was no disordered memory flushing his brain, causing confusion of consciousness...
