Chapter 654 - 309: Assessment! The Apocalyptic Cataclysm!

Starlight Church, Side Hall

Zhen Yue sat inside, feeling unusually restless. Even though he was a Legendary Level Spiritualist and a top-tier Tier Two Tank System, he felt a lack of safety given the sheer number of Dominator Level powerhouses within the Starlight Church. The Archbishop was likely an Over-Specification Dominator as well.

Faced with such top-tier strong beings, he probably couldn’t escape by conventional means. To run, he would need to use life-saving items, maybe more than one, which could affect the styling of future tasks.

But...

He still wanted to take a gamble, to directly lay his cards on the table with the high-ranking members of the Starlight Church, linking with them purely through interest exchange to join the Church and attain a relatively flexible special status.

This is because, as stated in the world’s introduction, "The story officially begins when the [first drop of true [marrow] falls to the earth]." Evidently, there’s a story here, and Zhen Yue, using this as a starting point for investigation, indeed found some issues, giving him some confidence of success.

Thus, the most crucial thing in the upcoming process was to demonstrate his own value.

"Hoo~ The next steps will be dangerous, but if I don’t take risks, I definitely won’t achieve the maximum possible benefit. I must do my best," Zhen Yue internally murmured to himself.

"Crack!"

The doors of the side hall opened, and the petite and lovely nun, Sajia, entered first, making a gesture of invitation to introduce the important figure behind her.

Could it be the Archbishop?

Or one of the seven Cardinal Bishops?

In thought, Zhen Yue slowly looked up, a familiar face appeared before him, and suddenly, his facial expression froze.

What the hell!

A Divine Monarch is here?

Why is he sitting across from me?

Wasn’t this guy just planning to join the Starlight Church yesterday? How is he directly interviewing me today?

Hold on, what’s going on here? If he’s qualified to interview someone like me, an Otherworld traveler, doesn’t that mean his status is already on par with the seven Cardinal Bishops? Is that right? Should it be?

"You want to join the Starlight Church?"

Ye Mingqiu bluntly asked without any superfluous words.

"Yes."

"Reason."

"The Star God is my..."

"Stop!"

Ye Mingqiu raised his hand, mercilessly saying, "I’m not here to listen to such nonsense. Just speak directly."

"...."

Zhen Yue fell into a long silence, the notes he had prepared seemed suddenly useless.

Elsewhere, Sajia, standing behind Ye Mingqiu listening, maintained an unchanged expression, but internally marveled: This Lord of the Fierce Sun really is uncompromising when dealing with the Otherworld travelers, completely exposing them without any cover immediately.

But this is also good, efficiency in such dealings will be much higher than under regular circumstances, not a big problem.

"The world is already in crisis, and I can assist the Starlight Church in resolving it," Zhen Yue succinctly stated.

"Oh?"

Ye Mingqiu raised an eyebrow.

In fact, he was aware that if the Starlight Church really didn’t need help, they wouldn’t have arranged this meeting for Zhen Yue. They would have simply and bluntly sent him away, treating it as an official business.

Since the Starlight Church had already brought Zhen Yue to the negotiating table, it indicated they had tacitly acknowledged his qualification to talk. The primary aim of negotiations was to establish relationships, confirm the other party’s value and trustworthiness, not to start from scratch, which would be too inefficient.

"The golden liquid descends into the Bone Abyss, triggering a catastrophic resonance."

"At this moment, the rock formations of the Bone Abyss have already shattered, and crimson beams of light shoot skyward, causing earthquakes over a vast surrounding area. The Central Plains have cracked, and seawater flows backward forming an inland sea."

"Not only that, the destructive vibrations continue to spread; it is expected to reach the Jielian Cliff in two days, leading to new disasters."

Zhen Yue spoke seriously and solemnly.

"Therefore?"

Ye Mingqiu continued to ask.

"I have a way to solve the shockwaves at Jielian Cliff, temporarily blocking the disaster, buying time for the world to catch its breath."

Zhen Yue took out a vast world map from his storage space, astonishingly, as soon as the map touched the table, its surface silently rose or sank, transforming from a two-dimensional map into a three-dimensional map.

His finger pointed to Jielian Cliff and then traced towards the surrounding land, saying, "Jielian Cliff’s terrain is perilous; if affected by the resonance, its long-existing terrifying updrafts are likely to form a waterspout, causing countless seawater to flow backward upward, dealing fatal blows to the surrounding coastal areas in a short time."

"Moreover, if the sea tornado makes landfall or disintegrates directly near the land, it will directly devastate the three major provinces of the Empire’s Western Territory, causing deaths numbering over ten million, greatly impacting the world."

"And this is only the beginning of the apocalypse."

"There will be even more terrifying disasters to follow; faced with such a world-ending calamity, we must unite to protect this beautiful world."

"...."

Ye Mingqiu lowered his eyes, silent.

At this moment, he was contemplating in his mind whether he could use absolute values to forcibly suppress the disaster and thereby demonstrate his divine power, solidifying his identity as the Lord of the Fierce Sun, and thus gaining more benefits.

Additionally, he was also very interested in the legendary golden liquid that fell to earth, namely the marrow of the God’s corpse.

While the Blood Spear can absorb blood, it isn’t incapable of absorbing marrow. However, the tier of that marrow is likely ridiculously high, practically impossible to absorb at this stage, as it is terrifying material that can cause a world-level disaster upon landing.
