Chapter 189 Faith in the Kingdom of God

Chapter 189

"My current name is Fao, a seventh-level knight, and I belong to the Mystic Fire Knights. My teacher... is Master Cindy, a ninth-level knight and the leader of the Knights."

On the back of the Pegasus, the knight in silver-blue armor murmured softly, as if he was recalling something, or talking to himself.

His eyes sank slightly, his expression calm and sharp.

But if someone could peek into his spiritual realm at this moment, they would find that the person inside this seemingly familiar knight's body is no longer the original genius knight Fao.

It was a deep spiritual world, emitting a strange glow mixed with gray-blue and emerald green.

In the center of this area, a towering tree stands quietly, with lush branches and leaves, and its shadow spreads in all directions like clouds and mist, almost covering the entire spiritual space.

Under the tree, a weak soul huddled into a ball, like a dying animal, tightly wrapped by dense roots, suppressed, imprisoned, blocked, and unable to move.

This tree is Lynn, who has become one with Ifgrid.

He replaced Fao's control over this body through the method of "symbiotic shell-taking" instead of completely erasing its existence.

Because Fao is not an insignificant person.

In the process of reading Fao's memory, Lynn learned that the "mentor" Cindy who was always following him was a ninth-level knight and a big shot in charge of the mysterious Fire Knights.

If Faol's soul is completely wiped out, those high-level clergymen will most likely use special divine arts to track down the abnormality, and then the "disguise" will be exposed.

Because of this, Lynn chose to preserve Fao's remaining soul consciousness.

Use the power of the blue sky spirit and the maple tree to suppress and block him, trapping him deep in the spirit instead of completely destroying him.

However, even with the two auxiliary forces, delving into the memory of a person protected by the gods is still not an easy task.

Faol's memories are like layers of floating clouds, each of which glows with a light golden glow, containing the mysterious blessing and the mark of divinity.

Lynn tried to go deeper, but was constantly repelled by a hidden force.

That was the gaze of a god. Even if it was only a residual image in his memory, it was enough to make him feel pain and oppression.

"These memories...are really troublesome."

Lynn's brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.

It is possible to spy by force, but the price is that Faol's soul will be directly shattered, and his "disguise" will also collapse.

Therefore, he could only proceed step by step, carefully avoiding those memory nodes involving gods, and piece together complete identity information from the remaining fragments.

Fortunately, the spirit of the blue sky built a stable channel of consciousness, and the maple tree also guided Lin En, so Lin En was able to figure out the origin and background of this "Fao".

In this way, even when facing high-level wizards or judgement knights from the goddess' army, he can perform perfectly without revealing any flaws by relying on his words, actions, and memory logic.

However, deep in Fao's complex memory, Lin En unexpectedly discovered some unexpected surprises.

This talented knight is indeed extraordinary.

As a seventh-level knight, Faol's strength is equivalent to that of a late-stage second-level wizard, and is not considered weak even in the entire priesthood system.

Moreover, he is not someone who blindly relies on divine initiation.

On the contrary, Fao has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has an almost instinctive talent for close combat.

On his path to growth, he independently explored a set of pure physical combat skills, which did not rely on divine power or magic, but was completely honed through perception and experience.

Although this system has not yet been fully formed, it is a valuable asset to Lynn.

This set of skills does not involve any traces of gods, has no side effects when used, and will not attract the attention of gods.

"If I were at the first-level wizard stage, I might not have used these fighting skills. But now that I have broken through to the second level, my physical strength has increased dramatically again, and these close combat instincts have become the perfect complement."

Lynn's thoughts were rippling like water waves, and he lowered his head to look at his "new" body again.

The feeling of tension between the muscles and bones, as if filled with thunder, and the feeling of strength that can crush rocks with a light grip, is fascinating.

This is not a false illusion, but a real accumulation of strength.

He even had a feeling that the pure burst of this body alone was enough to collide head-on with some second-level wizards who relied on spells.

"There is also a body refining practice in the wizard system. The body refining wizard... Astrid seems to have practiced that kind of inheritance." Lin En murmured in a low voice, his eyes slightly gloomy.

The Pegasus beneath him groaned, and its wings flapped violently, carrying him like a meteor through the clouds.

The sky was vast and boundless, the clouds were dreamy, and soft golden light sprinkled on them, making the whole world seem immersed in an unreal glow.

Lin En rode on the back of Pegasus, traveling through this dreamlike aerial corridor, but in his mind he was calmly weighing and deducing.

He has taken control of this body; he has also received and integrated some of Fao's combat experience and incomplete fighting system.

But unfortunately, Lin En was unable to replicate more key combat skills, those divine arts and "empowerment" attacks related to contracts and beliefs with gods.

For example, in his memory, Fao once drew his bow and shot an arrow in a great battle, completely penetrating the defenses of those aircraft with one shot. That arrow contained the power of the goddess.

“I can’t use these.”

Because of this, the combat power that Lin En can exert at this moment is probably less than half of that of Fao in his heyday.

"Right now, the most taboo thing is unnecessary fighting."

He narrowed his eyes, his expression slightly serious.

At this moment, the Pegasus beneath him suddenly flared its nostrils and let out a low warning cry.

"Um?"

Lin En raised his eyebrows and looked quickly into the distance.

More than ten seconds later, a figure came galloping, also riding a Pegasus, with a fluttering silver cloak and the emblem of the mysterious Fire Knights engraved on his shoulder armor.

The visitor took a quick glance and immediately locked onto Lin En's figure. A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He suddenly increased his speed and rushed straight over.

"Lord Fao! You are finally back!"

The man was obviously excited, and his voice was filled with undisguised respect. "Lady Cindy sensed your presence in this direction earlier, and sent me here to greet you!"

Lin En pondered for a moment, and a proud yet restrained expression quickly emerged on his face. His tone was low and steady, as if he was possessed by the old Fao.

"Well... Goddess, the divine power enveloped the battlefield, suppressing the war fortresses of those wizards layer by layer... I finally found a gap and escaped from their restrictions."

He had already prepared a story, claiming that he had been captured by a wizard on the battlefield.

He was restricted and sealed until the power of the Demon Net Goddess spread freely, and he was finally free.

Upon hearing this, the knight's face became solemn, with a look of even more admiration, and he did not harbor any suspicion at all.

"As Lady Cindy expected, with the goddess' blessing, you will not perish!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Lin En and said respectfully,

"Please follow me. Everyone in the camp is waiting for you, especially Master Cindy... He is extremely worried about your safety."

Lin En nodded slightly, his aura restrained yet sharp, like a cold sword sheathed, neither ostentatious nor humble, perfectly restoring the image of Faol, the proud genius.

"Let's go." He said calmly, his voice steady with a hint of authority.

Then, he rode the Pegasus and flew side by side with the knight, asking casually, "How has the battle been going during this period?"

The knight reported the truth, not daring to hide a single word.

Lin En listened attentively, his expression unchanged, except for a barely perceptible gleam of light that suddenly flashed across his eyes.

From the knight's narration, he quickly grasped several key pieces of information.

When he appeared from the plane channel of "Spirit of the Blue Sky" carrying Fao's body, Cindy immediately detected his breath and sent a knight to meet him almost immediately.

Obviously, Cindy used some special magic, or means given by the gods, to mark or track the breath of "Fao".

At the same time, Lin En could also confirm that he had indeed entered the scattered points of the Goddess' army, and was surrounded by various believers and clergy of the Magic Net Goddess.

Lin En was also a little scared, but fortunately he noticed something was wrong in advance and called out Maple Tree, so he could walk here as Fao.

Otherwise, if he happened to encounter the army of mages, he would be dead for sure.

In this outer space, believers of the Goddess of the Magic Net only need to devoutly dedicate their faith in the Goddess of the Magic Net, and they will be led by the Goddess of the Magic Net.

Because of this, the goddess army did not scatter like the wizard army, but instead gathered together in a short period of time.

However, this large-scale projection of divine power is not without deviation. The landing location is a certain area, not a specific point.

Therefore, some unlucky mages may encounter some dangers in this area when they are teleported to this area.

For example, the wizard that Lin En met might have just been teleported to this area when he was killed by some dangerous creatures from the outer plane and became a part of this world.

However, such cases are extremely rare after all.

The vast majority of wizards and clergymen still successfully landed in relatively safe gathering areas and began to integrate quickly.

More importantly, Lin En also received important news from the knight that was enough to shake the situation of the war.

The great goddess who is high above and controls the magic network and divine arts has personally summoned seven legendary wizards.

He also mobilized all the ninth-level wizards and ninth-level knights in the entire army to set up some kind of huge divine formation in the core area of ​​the kingdom of God.

This is obviously a major move related to the "War of Planes" and may even be a killer move to overwhelm the wizard camp.

Because of this, Cindy, who was most concerned about Fao's safety, had no time to come in person and had to send the fastest rangers to greet him and ensure that "Fao" could return safely.

The wings of the Pegasus vibrated, and the wind it created whistled like a knife.

Two figures passed through the sky, one in front and one behind, like two silver lights tearing through the clouds.

Above the sky, starlight and divine light intertwined and flickered, like a dream scene painted by the hands of God himself.

Not long after, under the guidance of the knight, Lin En saw the sea of ​​clouds in front of him suddenly surge.

It was as if torn apart by an invisible hand, receding layer by layer like the tide, revealing the true scene hidden behind the void.

A ray of divine light illuminated the heaven and earth, accompanied by a holy breath that seemed to come from outer space. A magnificent continent slowly emerged into view.

It was a kingdom of God, the prototype of a kingdom of God opened up by the Goddess of Demon Net herself.

This land created by divine power floats on top of the clouds, hanging high in the sky like the stars.

In the center, there are majestic floating temples, stacked layer upon layer, magnificent and golden. Divine runes and divine light flow on every inch of the wall and every pillar.

Thousands of "Stairs of Light" formed by faith and divine power hang down from the sky like waterfalls, like a bridge for the gods to pour their will from heaven to the human world, leading directly to the divine center deep in the sky.

Although this kingdom of God is not yet perfect, it is still just a prototype.

After all, the true kingdom of God needs to be built step by step over countless years, and every inch of space must be filled and stabilized bit by bit with the power of faith.

But even as a "prototype", it is enough to shock people's hearts and overwhelm the sky in this dreamy outer plane.

Because in this empty plane, a thought from the gods can change the world, just like reshaping an illusion in a dream at will.

Lynn narrowed his eyes and looked at the glorious kingdom that stretched between heaven and earth and above the clouds.

The golden light is like the sea, the divine power is like the tide, it is an existence that truly transcends human understanding.

In the high sky, countless divine creatures streaked across the sky, Pegasus flapped their wings, their silver hooves stepped on the clouds, their wings glowed brightly; angels cruised, their divine feathers drooped, they held halberds in their hands, and chanted the language of God.

There are also some holy spirits with strange shapes hiding deep in the clouds. In the flowing light mist, there seem to be pairs of eyes watching the outside world.

And in the kingdom of God, there are crowds of people and it is as bright as day.

In the entire thirteenth plane, all believers, priests, wizards, and knights who believe in the Goddess of the Demon Net have been led here and gathered in this sacred territory.

The number of people is so large that it can no longer be described as an "army". It is more like a frenzy of faith, a vast empire that can be summoned by the gods at their will.

Lin En took a deep breath and when he looked towards the kingdom of God, he vaguely felt an extremely unique breath.

That is not magic power, nor divine power, but a purer "power of origin".

Belief.

Between heaven and earth, there is a majestic power of faith, as if countless invisible streams are rushing in from different directions and converging into a sea in the kingdom of God.

The devout will released by those believers in prayer has now condensed into substance, turning into long rivers of light that intertwine and collide in the air, setting off earth-shaking waves.

Lin En looked at all this, and even though he was a calm person, he couldn't help but be shocked.

That scene... was too spectacular! He couldn't help but lick his lips subconsciously, with a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

The spirit of the blue sky quietly flows in his spiritual realm. If he could absorb such a vast torrent of faith.

It can almost feed back a huge amount of spiritual power to him in a short period of time, and it is even possible to reach an unprecedented peak on the spiritual level! Of course, he is just thinking about it now.

After all, the reason why the Goddess of Demon Net came to him was because he used the Spirit of Blue Sky to absorb the faith of the Goddess of Demon Net.

If he dared to use the Azure Sky Spirit in the Goddess of the Magic Net's kingdom, he would probably be crushed to death by the Goddess of the Magic Net in the first place...

With the power of a god, it would only take a snap of a finger to wipe out an existence like him.

"Lord Fao, please follow me."

A low and awed voice of the knight came from the front. He spurred the Pegasus to turn around, his wings rolled up a gust of breeze, and his figure was like a meteor, rushing towards the core of the kingdom of God.

Lynn narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and followed closely.

With a flash of his figure, he broke through the air and plunged into the kingdom of God built with faith and divine light.
