Immortal Temple, after gaining control, can obtain the Power of Origin and consume 100,000 Power of Faith to recruit a Holy Light Angel…
Lear’s gaze became fervent.
The first step into the Original Plane finally stood firm!
Taking a deep breath, just about to utilize Power of Faith, Lear was surprised to find… the external Power of Faith cannot affect the Immortal Temple.
Moreover… it’s unsable in the Original Plane!
Only the Power of Faith provided by Ancient Humans can be used.
Lear’s eyes flickered slightly, then his face showed a touch of relaxation.
Not being able to use it isn’t necessarily bad… Seeing that neither he nor other Divine Spirits can.
Those possessing immense divine powers, terrifying existences with hundreds or even tens of millions of believers, find themselves unable to project their accumulated strength onto the Original Plane.
In terms of the development, this is a good thing.
Lear took a deep breath, his gaze becoming profound.
In the coming period, the focus should be on expanding the number of believers.
First seize control of the Original Plane, acquire that Origin Power, then recruit Holy Light Angels to stabilize this foothold for the upcoming actions.
After sorting out his thoughts, in the following days, Lear continued to let Swamp Boggart preach within the village.
Meanwhile, he brought back Katana’s army that had been gathering intelligence outside.
After the thousands of troops stationed, villagers immediately felt a strong sense of security.
The weapons, the demeanor, the aura—all spoke of elite status!
Even no less than those top-tier characters in plays.
Just seeing them made one’s blood boil.
Most importantly, these are Katana’s troops, warriors bathed in divine light, their guardians!
And with the army as a model, the villagers’ faith in the Swamp Sect is further enhanced.
Simultaneously, Lear also spread the news of the gods descending upon the Original Plane, though the process stated… dark creatures have already begun their assault, soon to engulf the entire world.
Only the swamp can provide refuge.
Ordinary people might believe skeptically, even dismissively, but believers absolutely uphold the news.
Moreover, this news might spark discussions when circulated in the future.
Most importantly… it’s not false.
The gods aren’t all benevolent beings, and it’s not only the divine forces aligned with light that have set their sights on the Original Plane.
Just the Master of Dark Crows, a terrifying existence, can stir a dreadful disaster.
Later, when the truth is verified, and when there’s strong comparison, faith becomes even more intense.
The time swiftly passed, and under Lear’s meticulous management, reached the 22nd.
In just 6 days, the whole territory had no more shallow believers; all are now deep believers and devout believers.
Even the number of devout believers exceeded 200, with deep believers becoming a minority.
Among them, 30 individuals became reservists of Katana’s army, starting their training.
After solidifying this basic foundation, Lear wasn’t stingy, using some collected Power of Faith to enhance these reservist warriors.
Now, everyone could visibly see their training results.
The positive effect was extremely apparent.
Even sparked a minor surge in army enrollments, though the tightening and strict requirements blocked the villagers.
After fully controlling the village, Lear finally initiated the plan…
First was the space fissure — the Vine Fairy planted the Starry Sky Vine at the opening of the space fissure, establishing a Vine Fortress.
Simultaneously, Bubble Beast began hauling stones, soil around the fissure, building up the surroundings.
Under these magical creatures’ intense work, a small mountain hundreds of meters away was completely emptied.
Meanwhile, the location of the space fissure was fully covered with soil.
Forming a natural shield about seventy or eighty meters high.
Large chunks of black soil and stones exposed outside, resembling a construction site.
This small hill became a natural shield, and simultaneously, Starry Sky Vine rooted in the soil and stone, fortifying everything.
Ensuring it wouldn’t collapse or scatter.
The fissure thus quietly hidden.
Though still distinctly exposed, soon Green Grass Granny quietly entered, starting to plant grass and vegetation on the hill.
In an extremely short time, the whole hill of exposed soil was completely enwrapped by vegetation.
Blending seamlessly with the surroundings.
From the exterior, nothing different could be discerned.
The small mountain where soil and stones were extracted was also flattened by vegetation, leaving nothing else…
Meanwhile, Starry Sky Vine continued growing and spreading, enhancing the underground defenses to the utmost.
Moreover, a new area emerged on the surface, forming a new fortress, with troops stationed above.
Looking as if superior ground advantage rather than the space fissure below.
Thus having dual-layer protection, safety is greatly boosted.
Underground, Bubble Beast began hauling soil, swiftly breaking through a path leading to the village.
Then Vine Fairy directly began constructing a vine train.
Through a series of operations, silently extending a path a hundred meters deep underground reaching the village.
Then, massive amounts of resources transported and started pouring into the village, igniting a wave of construction frenzy.
These scenes made villagers astonished and amazed.
Truly worthy of Katana!
Such rapid action!
Immediately joined in, spreading the glory of the swamp, doing so without hesitation!
As the village was under construction, Lear cast his gaze outward.
He summoned the village chief—the elder who held firm to the last.
“We need to spread the glory of the Divine. Do you know which nearby villages are most suitable for missionary work?”
The village chief’s face was full of anticipation.
“Let’s start with Dawu Village, 5 kilometers away… I know everyone there well.”
Spreading the glory of My God is everyone’s responsibility!
That day, the village chief and several villagers set off with five Swamp Boggarts… It took an hour to traverse the 5-kilometer mountain path to reach their destination.
After crossing a hill, they saw the village located at the foot of another mountain.
The old village chief was well-respected, and many people came out to greet them.
Infiltrating them was quite simple… through healing.
Without needing to say much, once the Swamp Boggarts healed the villagers’ injuries, they immediately became honored guests.
Goodwill was instantly maxed out.
At nightfall, a drama performance, a cultural nuclear weapon, took the stage, and Dawu Village quickly succumbed.
With no defenses in place, the Swamp Sect quietly began to envelop the second village.
This village didn’t have a temple, which was somewhat regrettable.
However, its population numbered 600, which made Lear place great importance on it.
Under his personal observation and supervision, the actions of the Swamp Boggarts were particularly swift, and within just two days, the Swamp Sect had developed in Dawu Village.
Yet he was still dissatisfied with the slow spreading speed, and to accelerate the missionary work, he began operating in batches.
A group of Ancient Humans, along with a portion of Swamp Boggarts, went to neighboring villages to preach, starting with practicing medicine and healing, accompanied by drama performances…
This series of operations led to the rapid spread of the Swamp Sect in the surrounding areas.
Soon, a large area around Katana Village heard the news—a group of girls from the swamp could heal diseases and perform spectacular dramas.
These Ancient Humans didn’t understand dramas, but healing struck a chord in the hearts of countless people.
The Long Thorn Mountain Range was isolated from the outside cities, and traveling to the outside world was extremely taxing, often taking months, which ordinary people could not afford.
Even the issue of food during the journey could overwhelm a person.
Therefore, ordinary people relied on folk remedies passed down in the villages to deal with illnesses and injuries.
If lucky, they would recover, but if not, they would be left with chronic ailments.
Now, a group of doctors who could heal old wounds and even reattach limbs had arrived, exciting everyone immensely.
Many people were now trying to find out more about these doctors residing temporarily in Katana Village.
Soon after, another announcement caused great commotion.
Katana Village would start a free healing campaign, where all injured people could go to Katana Village for treatment.
And they could also watch dramas for free.
As this news spread by word of mouth from village to village, it quickly reached twenty to thirty surrounding villages.
Over tens of thousands of people knew…
This resulted in groups of villagers from the Long Thorn Mountain Range, tortured by injuries and illnesses, beginning to head to Katana Village.
Compared to traveling to the outside world, Katana is much more accessible.
By this time, Katana Village was no longer the same as before.
The once quiet village was now bustling with a large army, and tall city walls were being erected.
Inside the village, supplies were being piled like mountains.
A scene of prosperity.
Ness, after a few days of training, had become more proficient, standing at the village entrance with a sharp long saber, his gaze sharp.
Behind him were three squads of reserve warriors, their level only at 5, but for them, who were mere ordinary people a few days ago, it was a qualitative transformation.
They were responsible for guarding the village’s safety and registering and identifying whether the outsiders seeking treatment were dark creatures.
At this moment, Ness was filled with pride and anticipation.
I really wonder what expression other village people would have after seeing Katana’s transformation?
Surely, they would be shocked!
Not only have they basked in the holy light, receiving care from those heartbreaking sect maidens.
They could also enjoy excellent dramas, truly an art blessed by the Divine Spirit, utterly captivating.
But then, they are God’s people, and receiving the best treatment is an honor!
The urge to spread the divine spirit’s glory has reached its peak; I truly hope the day when the entire Long Thorn Mountain Range is bathed under the Swamp’s glory arrives soon!
Deep in thought, Ness seemed to recall something and turned his gaze.
At this moment, a few hundred meters away, vines danced like performers, quickly constructing city walls.
Their height reached an astonishing 40 meters!
Swamp be praised, they are seven or eight times taller than the tallest building in Katana!
I wonder what a magnificent sight it will be when it’s completed!
He only learned yesterday that this is a gift from the Swamp God, the great Lord, who plans to make Katana the central city of the Long Thorn Mountain Range.
This is definitely a mind-blowing concept.
If successful, what honor would they have?!
And with the support of the great Divine Spirit, all this is not a mere dream!
A few more days passed, and on March 29th, the first batch of thirty Long Thorn Mountain Range villagers arrived in Katana seeking treatment.
As they arrived, they were first bewildered and then incredulous.
Looking at each other, they all saw the shock in the other’s eyes.
A towering city wall woven from vines had already been erected in front of Katana Village.
Judging by the trend of construction, these walls seemed not only to encircle the entire village but also the hill behind it.
With just a glance, one could feel that this was an overwhelming project.
But how did such a structure suddenly seem to have been built overnight?
A feeling emerged that Katana Village was set to undergo a transformation… carrying complex emotions, they slowly entered the village.
Lear perceived the entry of outsiders, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The first seeds of missionary work have arrived.
