"Since this is Lord Kumironi's guidance, then we don't need to hold back. I will immediately report this matter of requesting Lord Kumironi to the Headmaster."
"By the way, how many demigods did they request support from?"
"Five...five people." The old man was clearly a little nervous.
"Then dispatch seven..."
"No, ten. Get them in place as soon as possible, and I'll go there myself."
Lord Kumironi personally responded that this matter must not be lost under any circumstances.
"High Priest, there is also... the Life Source Clan has a report requesting external assistance."
“There is a team…” The old man from the Blue Demon Clan paused slightly at this point.
"Human race".
"The human team wants to participate in this event as an external aid, and they want to receive a reward based on their contributions. The reward they want is a superior life crystal. The leader, named Cang Qiong, is the provider of this intelligence."
The appearance of humans in the upper realms is truly a rare occurrence.
"The heavens...?"
The priest kept the name in his heart.
"Approved."
As Cumelloni pointed out, there is no need to worry.
Since the Life Source Clan has made this application, let them do it.
-------------------------------------
The Church of Flesh and Blood Regeneration has strongholds scattered around the world, so the members of the Godslayer Guild can only go their separate ways to carry out their own missions.
Fortunately, with the existence of guild strongholds, even if they are far apart, they can gather together as quickly as possible when needed.
After arriving in the upper realm, you will receive a resource called contribution points for making contributions to different churches.
Contribution points can be used to exchange for various unique and rare resources and items within the church.
Countless superior races in the upper realms are scrambling to earn contribution points, which cannot be traded and can only be increased through tasks issued by the church.
Generally speaking, completing a quest on the Death Ash difficulty level will only grant 1 to 2 contribution points.
The most common way to generate contribution points is through major missions issued by churches, but when these missions will appear is completely unknown.
For example, the conspiracy to annihilate the Church of the Resurrection of Flesh and Blood and to disrupt the Blood Source Ritual, which was directly brought up by Lu Cang, was a major task of the Church of Life.
Normally, this questline would be very secretive to players, requiring them to discover it through many subtle clues.
These prerequisites are exceptionally stringent.
This is just one of the key factors that leads to the big mission, and even if the church's big mission comes, the participants may not necessarily be able to contribute much.
Now, Lu Cang has sent the Fearless Warriors to clear out the stronghold.
It's practically blatant robbery of contributions; each of these strongholds is worth at least 100 contribution points within the Church of Life.
However, Lu Cang did not go to raid those strongholds with the Brave Warriors and the others. Instead, he left the group and came to a desolate and dilapidated city by himself. The city was dark and full of broken walls and ruins.
The creatures roaming the city are not living people, but undead monsters.
A Nation for Mourning
Without any hesitation or confusion, Lu Cang concealed himself in the void and went straight to a small building among the countless abandoned houses in the country.
I knocked on the door four times.
Thump thump thump—
Not long after, a creaking sound came from the door. The door opened, and a ghost carrying a lantern and covering its face walked out.
"They are guests."
Lu Cang nodded slightly.
"It's been a long time since any guests have come." The undead's voice was devoid of emotion, low and calm.
Inside the house was a small bar, and on the cabinet behind the bar were a series of mysterious jars.
"Guest, you should know that my little shop does not accept gold coins."
"Only accepting barter."
Lu Cang nodded slightly: "I know the rules. I want to buy a stone, a Bloodflower White Blossom Stone."
"There are also two clusters of divine fire."
"The guest's information network is really good; he actually knew that I had these collections."
The undead chuckled twice: "However, I think you also know what this is..."
"I traded divine positions for eight divine positions, and two clusters of divine fire for three divine positions, for a total of eleven divine positions."
Lu Cang quoted his price.
Upon hearing Lu Cang's offer, the undead fell silent for a moment.
"Guest, you are indeed a man of exceptional intelligence and keen insight, knowing that I possess Bloodflower White Jade."
"However, items like the Bloodflower White Blossom Stone, which can store additional life force, cannot be purchased simply by attaining godhood."
"I wonder if the guest has heard of the legendary pool of immortal blood."
"The Bloodflower White Blossom Stone is equivalent to a mobile pool of immortal blood, and not only that, it is also equivalent to a second life that can be recharged."
"Its value far exceeds that of a divine position," the undead, Gu Jingwubo, explained.
Lu Cang: "Of course I know what you're talking about."
“I can add one more condition: my divine position is perfect, I know how to repair the Clock of the Era, and I can help you repair the Clock of the Era.”
After hearing Lu Cang's answer, the shop owner fell silent again.
After a moment, it responded, "Okay."
"After the purge of the previous era was completed, all beings above the level of demigods fell into slumber, and it is said that they are all waiting for the arrival of the next era."
"I also want to see when this era will end..."
Having said that, it turned around and pulled a broken, fine pendulum clock from a jar.
"However, no one has ever known how to repair the Clock of the Era. Even if you are a perfect god, you will not know where to begin if you do not know how to repair it."
"Can you really do it?" the undead asked, his tone slightly skeptical.
Lu Cang simply nodded slightly and replied, "It's not difficult."
-------------------------------------
In a remote and desolate mountain range, surrounded by layers upon layers of mountains, lies a basin teeming with life and death, where countless beings who have already ascended the path to divinity stand.
At the very center of the venue, there was a giant flower formed from swirling flesh and blood. Its branches curled up and extended in all directions. This strange flower was none other than the Supreme Bishop of the Church of the Resurrection of Flesh and Blood.
At this moment, everyone present had an extremely unpleasant expression.
A fleshy ball reported, "The thirty-third stronghold has fallen."
"The enemy clearly knows the locations of all our strongholds..."
"The ceremony can no longer be held normally."
"The blood in the Immortal Blood Pool is running out, and... their ultimate goal is probably not just those strongholds outside. We might not even be able to defend this last nest."
The fleshy ball reporting trembled as it excitedly questioned, "Your Excellency, aren't you the only one who knows the locations of all the nests?"
"How exactly was this discovered?!"
Thousands of years of preparation have been rendered futile by such a blow, making it impossible for it to remain calm.
Even when facing the highest bishop, he posed a question laced with anger.
"Are you doubting me?"
However, the response from the giant flower of flesh and blood, who was called the bishop, drew silence from those around him, as if tacitly acknowledging the question.
