Lunin Van Battle stood on a collapsed stone pillar and looked at the other senior clergy of the Church of True God who were discussing how to excavate the buried ruins below. An inexplicable feeling of irritation emerged from the depths of his heart.

, giving him the urge to destroy everything in front of him.

It's no wonder that he has such a big emotion, because he has been in this boring, damn place for two full months, and not only have they not made any progress in these two months, they have not even come up with a unified excavation method.

The eucalyptus was not even taken out.

Originally, they were planning to take advantage of the opportunity when Lord Protector Barbarissa took his wife and children on a trip to unknowingly dig out the things buried in the original sacred place and bring them back to their respective churches, but the result was that

Barbarissa has been back for a long time now, and their excavation operation is still on the plan. This has made Lu Ning have the idea of ​​killing all these guys more than once and excavating the ruins alone.

It's a pity that his strength does not allow him to do this, otherwise he would have already taken action.

Now he was already suspecting that he would be assigned to this excavation mission. It was probably a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the archbishop. The purpose was to eliminate him, the archbishop's right-hand man, before taking action against the archbishop.

As one of the twelve war priests of the War Church, Lunin has always been considered one of Archbishop Maysville's right-hand men, and he is also Archbishop Maysville's biggest supporter in becoming the Pope of the War Church.

The Church of War can be said to be one of the oldest churches on the mainland, but as the Church of True God, it is very young, only less than two hundred years old. Before that, it had been operating secretly in various countries on the mainland as an underground church.

They spread the doctrine, and when the situation was at its worst, they were even treated as a heresy by the True God Church.

It is precisely because the situation in the past was very bad and could be destroyed at any time due to the encirclement and suppression by various heresy hunter organizations or the Inquisition of the True God Church, so the War Church has not had a unified leader for a long time in the past, such as the Pope.

Similarly, the internal rights of the church are controlled by three war archbishops. They also represent the three stages of the beginning, progress and end of the war. It is precisely because of this system that the war church has experienced large-scale wars again and again.

After the siege, it can still exist in the world and develop smoothly, because as long as one War Archbishop is still alive, the War Church will not be destroyed.

As the Middle Kingdom region has the most wars in the entire continent, the War Church naturally regards this as their main parish, and their teachings are also very popular in this war-prone region. Overtly and secretly, they join the War Church.

The number of people is countless, and for a while, the Church of War could even claim that the entire Middle Kingdom region was full of believers of the Church of War. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not far from the truth.

It is precisely because of the war church's tenacious survival ability and its extremely powerful missionary ability that the True God Church gradually changed its attitude towards the war church, and finally carried out a series of religious reforms in the war church two hundred years ago, eliminating

The cruel and tyrannical part of the doctrine, after improving some bloody sacrificial rituals, the True God Church accepted it as one of them, thus allowing the War Church to openly preach.

After more than two hundred years of safe missionary period, the War Church gradually discovered some of the shortcomings of the Reformation. For example, most of the removed doctrines were the most demagogic content in the War Church’s doctrines. This part was lost.

Doctrine, the Church of War has added many believers in the process of preaching, but those are just casual believers, not true believers. After all, no normal people will regard war as a belief, and there are even fewer fanatic believers.

Far from the large number of fanatical believers willing to die for the church like in the past when it was an underground church.

In addition, the three-bishop system that originally helped the war churches survive the crisis of extermination during the underground church period has lost its advantages after entering the period of peaceful missionary work. On the contrary, its disadvantages have become more and more obvious, among which the most

The obvious disadvantage is that the church is divided.

The three archbishops all have equal status. They all have mastered a church classic, and they all have their own unique understanding of war doctrine. They have a large number of followers of their own in the church. At the beginning, this split was not obvious.

But as more than two hundred years have passed, the rifts within the church have become wider and wider, and other churches that have a hostile relationship with the War Church have also taken the opportunity to stir up trouble, making the internal structure of the War Church even more fragmented.

Although the Church of War is now the church with the fastest development momentum, the largest number of believers, and the largest number of dioceses among the churches of the Old World, these are just appearances. In fact, the church is extremely weak internally and may die at any time due to internal strife.

In this regard, both the three archbishops and the twelve war priests under them are all very clear about the situation and are willing to put aside their past grievances and improve the situation within the church. However, they feel that the only way to completely eliminate the shortcomings caused by the three bishops is to

The only way is to elect a pope who belongs to the War Church.

Although it is said that anyone who is a formal member of the church is qualified to become the pope of the War Church, in fact there are only three archbishops who are truly qualified to be the pope. Lu Ning is the one who supports Archbishop Maysville.

What the archbishop holds in his hands is a doctrinal book representing the results of the war.

However, before electing a pope, there is still one very important thing that needs to be done, and that is to make the god of war and riots believed in by the War Church a real god, not a false god.

The God of War and Riot has always had many believers, because the wars and riots in the Old World have never stopped the moment civilization emerged. People who have been in war for a long time will more or less choose to believe in war and riots.

The God of Riot, so if the number of believers is used as a comparison of the strength of the gods, then the God of War and Riot is definitely the most powerful god in the world.

But in fact, the God of War and Riots, whether in the underground church period or the current True God Church period, her status and power have always been in an awkward state of being neither high nor low. Among many gods, she is neither

The strongest is not the weakest.

The reason for this is entirely because the God of War and Riot has always been a false god from the moment he appeared, or a demigod closer to a god. This situation is not an isolated case. In fact, in the True God Church and the underground church

This is true for most of the gods, and the only disadvantage of this pseudo-god state is that their power will be greatly weakened after leaving the parish, and the number and quality of their believers also determine the strength of their power. Once the church

As their power weakens, their own strength will also weaken. Unlike justice and other true gods, the strength of the church has minimal impact on them.

Therefore, when the church began to decide to select a papal leader, the God of War and Riots issued an oracle, that is, if any of the three archbishops can find an artifact that contains the laws of world war, who will

You can directly become the pope and receive her blessing.

Because of this oracle, all the factions of the Church of War, under the command of the archbishops they supported, traveled around the world to search for artifacts with the laws of war. Although some legendary artifacts were indeed found in the process, these

Not to mention that the artifact contains the laws of war, it doesn't even contain the laws of the ordinary world.

This was the case until half a year ago, when a scholar who compiled a history of continental war for the Church of War discovered a clue when studying the history of the Middle Kingdom region. That was that the original god who was born in the Middle Kingdom region had the laws of war in the world.

.

After discovering this clue, the scholar died suddenly. Although the cause of death was said to be an accident, only a few people actually knew what it was.

The death of the scholar did not cause any movement within the War Club. On the contrary, the clue provided by the scholar attracted the attention of many people. So after a series of investigations, someone from the Maysville faction to which Lu Ning belonged came to know from a book.

In very ancient books, it was discovered that the relics of the Forbidden God were buried underground in the Holy Temple of the Prime located near Barbarissa's territory. It is very likely that it contains the world's laws of war, because according to the information they found,

Among the relics is a weapon used by the Prime God in battle, and the probability that this weapon contains the laws of world war is very high.

At that time, Lu Ning, who was expanding the influence of believers for the Archbishop of Maysville, was temporarily transferred to the excavation of the Holy Temple of the Beginning, because this was very important to the Archbishop of Maysville, and Lu Ning was his most trusted subordinate.

Only when the matter is handed over to Lu Ning can Archbishop Maysville be reassured.

After Lu Ning took over, he discovered that he was not the only one eyeing the underground ruins of the Holy Temple of the Prime. There were also several True God churches eyeing the banned relics of the Prime God in the ruins, and several of the True God churches had already united.

Get up and send people to the sanctuary together.

For this reason, Lu Ning had to pay some price to join the union of these True God Churches and represent the only participant representative of the War Church to eliminate the possibility of the other two archbishops interfering.

Originally, Lu Ning thought that this excavation mission was a very simple matter, because they already knew in advance that there was a ruins of the sanctuary of the original god buried under the sanctuary, and the Lord Protector Barbary had absolute control over this generation.

Sa is not in his territory, so as long as they don't make too much noise when digging, there shouldn't be any big problems.

But he never thought that a few months later, the excavation work was still in the discussion stage without any progress, which made Lu Ning suspicious and always felt that something was wrong.

As for why the excavation work has stalled, it is still under discussion. The main reason is that they found that they were unable to destroy the restrictive power exerted by the builders of the ruins of the above-ground sanctuary on those forbidden places. Several people were even trying to forcibly destroy those forbidden places.

When I was on the foundation, something unexpected happened to me.

And more importantly, with the return of Lord Protector Barbarissa, his attention to the Holy Temple of the Beginning has intensified a lot, forcing them, the senior clergy of the True God Church, to disguise themselves as workers in order to avoid Barbari

Sa's eyes and ears.

Thinking of this, Lu Ning became a little angry. He really couldn't understand why they, the senior clergy of the church, were afraid of Lord Protector Barbarissa? Is it just because of his status as a saint? In his opinion, as long as they

The Church of the True God united to put pressure on Lord Protector Barbarissa. Not to mention secretly excavating the ruins of the sanctuary, even if Lord Protector Barbarissa sent people to help them dig out the banned relics, it would not be a problem.

Unfortunately, after he proposed putting pressure on Barbarissa, all he got was ridicule from other senior church clergy. In the next few days, he looked at him as if he was looking at an ignorant person, which made him even more angry.

He became more and more unsociable, so much so that when discussing how to deal with the power contained in those foundation stones, he didn't even think of getting involved.

"This is..." Just when Lu Ning looked at the group of wastes who were still doing useless work in front of him, and was about to start anew and do it alone, a force that resonated with the divine power of war in his body suddenly appeared in the sanctuary.

came out from the other side.

Lu Ning, who felt something strange, remained calm. Before other people in the church noticed him, he quietly left and walked in the direction where the resonance power was transmitted. Soon he came to that place, and the resonance

The power also disappeared at this time.

This is one of the five foundation stones they found that contain a variety of divine powers. It is speculated that these foundation stones are to seal the relics of the original god in the ruins buried underground. It is just because of the influence of the divine power contained in the foundation stones that they cannot

Determine what the banned relic below is.

However, before Lu Ning dug up the foundation stone, he was already sure that the forbidden relic under the foundation stone should be the weapon of the original god he was looking for, because the resonance power just now was clearly caused by the laws of war in the world.

The resonant response is the inspired guidance of the God of War and Riots.

In his opinion, this was obviously because the God of War and Riots was extremely dissatisfied with their dillydallying and delaying excavation for several months, so when he wanted to break away from those wastes and do it alone, he gave the Gods inspiration.

Let him know where to start digging.

"Just use divine magic to blast away this blocking stone." Lu Ning, who thought he had received divine inspiration, didn't think much more and became bolder. He was not prepared to delay any longer and decided to use the strongest method immediately.

, smashed the foundation stone in front of him, and took away the things under the stone. As for what kind of commotion it would cause, he didn't care about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to walk to the foundation stone and began to use his best war magic, which was a kind of magic specially used to attack cities. He could use the power of war to create an indestructible siege ram.

Destroy any obstruction, and this obstruction naturally includes the foundation stone below.

But just as he was performing his magic, the divine power generated by the various mysterious runes in the foundation stone instantly surged out, wrapping it up like a raging fire, and burned it to ashes before he could react.

All.
