On the upper floor of Azura Liwan District, Ash and Vichy returned to the funeral home hanging upside down on the 51st floor below ground.
In the battle of Senluo half a month ago, although the four gods returned to heaven, Ash also fell into a coma due to the serious injuries and exhaustion of his source power. After Sonia and the others collected the secret world, the most urgent matter was to leave Senluo.
There is no way that the four gods could hide the fact that they sent angels to Senluo from Fanxing. At most, they could create a time difference. Maybe Xinglu and Jianlu are already on their way to Senluo Kingdom.
Although the team had already decided to go to the Gospel Kingdom as the next stop, they had not reached a consensus on where to go. Diya wanted to go directly to the palace, to take charge of the Gospel Kingdom with the supreme authority of Queen Yisu, and to support them with the power of the whole country, but Sonia, Weisser, and Weishi disagreed.
Although the Starry Kingdom has not yet issued a wanted warrant for Lisdiya, it would be foolish to think that the Starry Kingdom did not recognize the witch. However, the witch is not only the queen of a country, the "God of Gospel" she controls is also the foundation of the system that the Gospel Kingdom relies on to maintain. Once the witch is wanted, it will not be a good thing for the people of the Gospel, but a great depression and collapse at the end of the world.
Don't forget, at the Weaving Festival a year ago, the Gospel List had already shown what kind of situation this country would fall into if it lost the Gospel system. The conspirator Rusty Crow fooled various forces to sacrifice the people, and the King of the Dead sacrificed living people to create the ten dead families. Evil spirits were rampant, and disasters continued. It was a scene of ghosts and monsters, and it was a white and clean scene. Therefore, every Gospel person understands that the Gospel Kingdom cannot be without the Gospel system, just like XX cannot be without XX.
Fanxing issued a wanted notice for Lisdiya today, and the Gospel Magician should find a way to escape tomorrow. If Fanxing wants to keep the Gospel Kingdom, the correct approach must be to pretend nothing happened on the surface, and secretly find a way to capture Lisdiya and seize the Gospel Spirit - if it cannot be seized, even if Lisdiya is allowed to survive, the Gospel Spirit must not be damaged.
Because the witch's affairs are not only about the gospel, but also about the stability of the five countries.
The five countries have been isolated from each other by different civilizations for thousands of years. Apart from the ability to communicate, their social customs, political structures, and even their world views are completely different.
The Blood Moon Kingdom's "Bloodline Prohibition Law" is a bad policy for the other four kingdoms, but the Earth Abyss Kingdom's "Mixed-Blood Marriage" is probably no less. The Earth Abyss has a special magic faction that other kingdoms cannot touch: parasitism. Parasitic magicians merge with virtual creatures and can partially transform into dragons, fully transform into dragons, and cast spells in dragon form. They have monster-like regeneration and defense capabilities, and are powerful magic from silver to legendary.
But the reason why the Diyuan magicians can cultivate the parasitic faction, while the magicians of other countries cannot, is that the Diyuan Kingdom has implemented the intermarriage system between virtual creatures and intelligent races, the "mixed-blood marriage". This is a very strange marriage system. Simply put, everyone can marry twice, once with the same race, and once with a virtual creature. Therefore, a normal couple has at least four members in the family: the man, the man's virtual creature, the woman, and the woman's virtual creature.
This is not mandatory, but there will be social welfare incentives such as taxes. More importantly, after thousands of years of influence, every Earth Abyss person can regard virtual creatures as sexual objects. The prerequisite for Earth Abyss masters to practice parasitic factions is to have a virtual creature that is completely loyal to them. It can be a partner, a partner of parents, or even a partner of ancestors. In fact, the most powerful parasitic masters often have heirloom partners. Virtual creatures are also divided into high and low levels, and virtual creatures with good attributes must of course be passed on to future generations for continued use.
Based on the mixed marriage, the society also derived "inheritance literature", that is, after the virtual creatures accompanied the first generation of magician partners through life, they gradually fell in love with the magician partners' children. Since virtual creatures actually have no gender, they can change their shape according to their partners.
Mixed-race marriage is a natural system for the people of Diyuan. Even if they know that people from other countries do not have virtual creature partners, they will only feel that the people from other countries are so pitiful for not being able to find virtual creature partners.
Other countries also find it difficult to accept the Abyss Kingdom - not to mention falling in love with creatures from the virtual world, this is considered as your weird sexual fetish, after all, there are people who like to have sex; but inheriting a parasitic partner from your parents and ancestors, this ethical concept is too crude, isn't that your stepmother or uncle?
In addition to the two extremes of Blood Moon and Abyss, Paradise, Stars, and Gospel also have many social concepts that cannot be compromised. In this case, Stars also have to implement the "Aristocracy Act", and all magicians holding important positions must accept the blessing of the stars, putting the interests of the country and the stars above everything else.
However, the "Nobility Act" was mainly aimed at the ruling class, and with the four great gods voluntarily giving in, the upper classes of the four countries did not resist much and accepted it obediently. But even so, the lower classes of the countries were still suspicious, and most people believed that the Starry Kingdom would exploit the four countries and destroy society in the posture of the victor, ruler, and superior race.
That’s right, Fanxing, you are indeed the most powerful magician of ancient and modern times, so do we have to pay more taxes, abandon our previous ideas, and lose our own culture?
The interests of the upper class and the ideas of the lower class are red lines that must not be crossed. The Stars side can certainly suppress it forcefully, but in the end what they get is four colonies that keep resisting.
But Fanxing's ambition is far more than that, she really wants to bring the four countries under her command. She allows the four countries to continue to use the previous system, trying to integrate the five countries into a magician civilization gathered under the stars through international exchanges.
At this time, "prestige" and "stability" override everything else. If Fanxing is willing to sacrifice the billions of people in the Gospel Kingdom to capture Lisdiya, it would be strange if other countries don't feel grief, and Fanxing's subsequent policies will inevitably face countless resistance.
Therefore, once Lisdiya came to the palace, it was a great blessing, which was equivalent to notifying the Law Angels to take this opportunity to secretly deal with her as an unstable factor. Not to mention that her appearance meant that Ash was also nearby, and the Law Angels would definitely go out in full force to ask the Vice-King of Heaven to return to his loyal Starry Heaven.
After all these things, Diya gave up the idea of kidnapping Ash and making him a prince, and came up with a backup plan: Azula.
Whether it is to retreat and heal, or to search for traces of Igula and Harvey, Azula is undoubtedly the most suitable place. Since I have returned to Azula, the place to live is naturally the funeral office, the starting point of the Gospel Adventure Journey/The Queen's Rise.
