Even the projection of a god, the Shadow Ruler, was stunned for a moment.
In that instant, the Lord of Shadows envisioned various futures based on the name of the God of Shadow Punishment.
This was merely a deduction by the fallen god, and did not reach the point where the elemental woman attacked Vivian.
Insufficient divine power is one aspect, but the limitations imposed by dimensional laws are also crucial.
After a moment of stunned silence, the Shadow Ruler immediately replied, "Yes!"
"That's good, great being. The agreement from many years ago shall take effect from now on!" After saying this, the Shadow Overlord gave Ron, this variable, a deep look.
Perhaps there is real hope for his revival, because Ron, a variable recognized by the gods, exists.
Because of Ron's actions over the years, the gods have officially listed him as a variable.
Indeed, Sandy Territory is one of the birthplaces of the Magic Crystal Car, as well as the Phantom Theater, the Floating University City, and so on.
This isn't a variable; who else could be a variable?
As both sides completed the subsequent details, the divine pact was officially signed. From then on, Ron gained an ally of the Shadow Overlord, and at the same time, he also bore the burden of his divine calamity.
Since the God of Shadows had gone this far, Ron immediately launched a counterattack.
The timing was also perfect.
During the period of agreements with various countries, let's first prepare for the appearance of the latest God of Shadow Punishment.
The God of Shadows wanted to send his main assassin force to attack Sandi Territory, but at this time, the floating city was not yet completed, and offending Sandi Territory would mean becoming an enemy of the four great empires.
The current highest limit in this dimension is the demigod level, which is dominated by the four great empires on the continent of Oran. The God of Shadows has been quite helpless during this period.
This was an inevitable outcome, which is why the four great empires dominated everything on the continent of Oran.
Even so, divine calamities are not so easy to bear.
When Ron made the deal with the Shadow Lord back then, he felt it was really not worth it, as one was a fallen god and the other was a living god.
If he had truly fallen from grace as the theory suggests, then that would be a different story.
Witnessed by the God of Contracts.
The contract is reached.
After Ron finished his task, the entire team changed their previous leisurely lifestyle.
Speed things up.
The opponent has used up all their near-legendary cannon fodder; if they come again next time, it can only be a legend or higher.
Be careful, be extra careful, and at the same time speed up so we can get back as soon as possible.
In less than a day, the caravan, having sped up its journey, arrived at the next large city.
Eindhoven.
This city is rumored to be a sacred city for lovers, a place where the goddess of love preaches, and where a bishop dedicated to the goddess of love is located.
The empire was too vast, so some gods who lacked the power to establish their own religious kingdoms reached an agreement with demigod organizations in the world to preach within their spheres of influence.
The bishop doesn't have to be in the capital, and there's an unwritten, specific area for missionary work.
In fact, it's possible for the gods to oppose the demigods in the mortal world, but there's simply no need for it. The demigods wouldn't hinder the gods too much either, and cooperation would benefit both sides.
Gods, continue your mission as guardians of your followers. Demigods, become dimensional travelers, exploring possible routes and missionary sites.
A mutually beneficial and collaborative framework.
But here in Eindhoven.
Ron did not want to meet the bishops here, but once he entered the bishops' territory, Ron and his companions were discovered.
God is mysterious and unfathomable, beyond words.
Ron and his companions received an invitation shortly after entering the city.
A beautiful nun came to inform Ron that she wanted him to come to the church for a while.
At the corner of the city gate.
After listening to the nun's words, Ron observed the woman in front of him.
Well, the nun in front of me was rather unique; to be specific, she was a bit too open, bordering on sexy.
You should know that this should be a sacred nun!
Remembering that this was the place where the goddess of love preached, Ron slowly came to understand.
Ron, upon hearing the woman's words, believed it was a possible divine revelation.
However, since the other party did not explicitly state that it was a divine prophecy, it might not be. Even if it was, Ron did not want to join their church.
If the other party doesn't explicitly state that it's divine will, then I won't go.
Thinking it over, Ron said, "No need. Thank you for your concern. I am not here in my official capacity as Pope, so there is no need for me to receive any greetings from your church."
Unexpectedly, she had several prepared explanations: "It would be better if you didn't come as the Pope; my Lord has invited you!"
Alright, since it's clearly God's will, not going might be disrespectful to God. Considering the lesser of two evils, go!
Sigh! Ron reluctantly agreed, "Alright, then I'll lead the way later, but I have some things to take care of right now, is that alright?"
“Very well, wherever Earl Ron wishes to go, Yara can act as his guide,” Sister Yara personally recommended.
“Okay, it would be best to have a guide. Let’s go to the Tulip Merchant Guild in this city first,” Ron said.
At this moment, because of the nun's strange behavior, people gathered around, and Ron and the others quickly left the crowd and headed to the location of the Tulip Merchant Guild.
Upon arriving at the Tulip branch, Ron instructed Uncle Arno: "Go back first and inform Nika to read the document beneath the idol with the Bishop of the Goddess of Music..."
Those agreements were made back then, just waiting for the right opportunity to make Sandy disregard his own safety.
After reading the contents of the covenant, the clergy of Sandy Territory and Nika will do what they are supposed to do; as for the extent to which they will do so, that is up to them.
To avoid being intercepted and unable to return to Sandy Territory, Ron and the others went to the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild again.
The Magic Crystal branch here remains the largest chamber of commerce in the area.
Ron took out his identity token, amethyst card, and other items, and instructed them to prepare either a dragon or a magic crystal vehicle.
Running on the ground is too slow; after this city, we'll have to travel in the sky.
Meanwhile, the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild also left a message: once the token is prepared, the messengers for this route will also set off.
Uncle Arno traveled with the Tulip Merchant Guild and the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild, and even sent someone back to report just in case.
There shouldn't be any problems with the spread of the name of the God of Shadow Punishment.
Since the true role of the Shadow Lord is to be the ruler of the shadows, it is not enough to simply have a new divine name; there must also be a corresponding religion, idols, and objects of prayer that are based on the Shadow Lord himself.
Also, since it's not the original Shadow Ruler of the Fallen God, the efficiency of converting faith power into divine power will be lower.
Nevertheless, Ron still stipulated in the divine contract that he could only be the God of Shadow Punishment.
Once upon a time, the Lord of Shadows was a pure god of assassins.
His followers, the assassins, only cared about money, and eventually became universally hated. But he really was amazing!
The God of Shadows was crowned the Ruler of Shadows. In an epic historical period, everyone on the continent of Oran lived in fear, and if someone displeased them, they might release a magic crystal to attract assassins.
Even so, the Shadow Ruler was still active in that era, and his divine life was incredibly comfortable.
But in the first year of the disaster, those from the unknown faction became the unlucky ones.
The God of Commerce was also among the first batch of gods to fall due to his unclear allegiance.
Why are all the male gods Ron has encountered fallen, except for that god of shadow whom he never personally met?
After a long while, the Magic Crystal Merchant Guild had also made the arrangements.
Ron began to follow Sister Ara's lead, trying to calm himself down first.
He tried hard to recall the gossip about the water god's conversation with the gods.
Gradually organize the useful information in your mind.
After talking about books for so long, and working on them for so long, the time has finally come to use them…
A while later, Ron, Rita, Vivian, and Little Tower entered the bishop's room of the Goddess of Love.
The congregation spontaneously made way for Arah, the chosen one of God.
From this, Ron also began to speculate about the identity of Yara's chosen ones.
Sister Yara brought a handsome young man with her…
"Wait...wait...Elf Master."
"A maid, or a noblewoman?"
...
The congregation inside the church was discussing it.
This atmosphere was nothing like the solemnity of other churches.
Goddess of Love, recall her teachings…
It may seem unconventional, but it is the origin of free love in another world.
In an era where nobles arranged marriages, such churches could indeed give off an impression of being frivolous.
However, their doctrines were still quite normal, only somewhat ahead of their time, which displeased some noble lords.
What does it mean to encourage divorce, division of assets, and courage to love as long as there is love?
How could such a doctrine possibly grow so large?
In the continent of Oran today, elementalists reign supreme, and nobles dominate everything.
An empire needs demigods, and a kingdom needs legendary professionals.
Professionals are naturally suited to the aristocratic class.
But the doctrine of free love was not suitable for the nobility…
Having seen the group of followers before him, Ron seemed to understand why the goddess of love had summoned him.
Deep inside the church, there is another statue.
So that people can pray at any time, each church has multiple statues inside.
The biggest one is still the one on the outside.
Ara, the Chosen One, led Ron and the others there, and then she ordered the rest of the followers to leave.
Ron waited quietly.
Soon, divine light suddenly appeared, and Yara's eyes changed.
The divine eye is mysterious and unfathomable.
Divine intervention.
