Chapter 1647: Chapter 1647

At eight in the morning, the celebration of the "Fire Bathing Festival" officially began. The Pope appeared in the square outside the "Holy Fire Temple" to preside over the entire event. As the ceremony began, the believers fell into a terrible frenzy – the first step of the ceremony involved having sixteen bishops carry an ancient statue out of the Holy Fire Temple and place it on a prepared platform in the center of the square. This statue was crudely made and not very tall, but it possessed an unspeakable "Divine Rhyme". It was said to be the first statue ever carved on this continent, guided by My God and sculpted by believers!

In terms of communicating with My God, the effect of this statue was unparalleled in Boneset Country.

With every grand celebration, this "Sculpture of Origins" would be brought out, as it was the core of the entire ceremony. This time was no exception - the statue moved along the central axis road of the Holy Fire Temple. After leaving the Divine Temple, each step the statue took was met with the believers’ praises and exclamations. This feeling gave the Pope and his bishops the illusion that their faith was still at its peak, and threats from external invaders and the New Faith seemed illusory.

As they indulged in this powerful illusion, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, followed by the confused and panicked voices of the believers. The Pope and his subordinates looked in the direction of the noise, only to see someone standing on the platform prepared for the "Sculpture of Origins" in the square. Shockingly, the person appeared to be one of the despicable invaders!

What was even more terrifying was that behind him, a golden divine figure was gradually emerging! This figure stood thousands of feet tall, exuding an imposing and awe-inspiring presence. The figure wore elaborate and complex battle armor that was noticeably different from the armor of Boneset Country, accentuating the figure’s bravery and power.

Above the boundless vault of heaven, streams of golden light flowed into the divine figure, making it increasingly real!

Furthermore... this "deity" held a divine weapon resembling a long spear in his hand – according to what the Pope had heard from his frontline soldiers, it seemed to be a unique weapon of the Eastern Land, called the "Horse Spear". What horrified him was that the "deity" lifted the divine weapon, aiming it at the "Sculpture of Origins"!

Inside Colin Devin’s "Primordial Spirit," there was an "Immortal Talisman" left behind by Master Burgess. In essence, Colin Devin and his Primordial Spirit had become the "cauldron" for this talisman. He understood this, but also realized that his current situation actually had certain benefits for him. While perhaps limiting his own potential, he had already achieved accomplishments far beyond his own abilities.

Arriving on the Red Clan Barbarian Continent after escaping from the new soldier camp, they embarked on a ruthless campaign, attacking multiple temples – both of the old faith and the new – seizing a large number of "Divine Artifacts" from them and placing them all into the Immortal Talisman.

Master Burgess had once instructed: "The more and higher-level treasures you absorb, the more immortal power the talisman can carry for my divine self. Your mission is crucial, and you will inevitably encounter many treacherous opponents trying to thwart you. Defeating the false god of the New Continent is not easy, so you must diligently collect treasures and cultivate this Immortal Talisman. As long as the talisman is powerful enough, my divine self will descend and solve any problem for you."

In the Eastern Land, they had been cautious, but upon arriving on the Red Clan Barbarian Continent, they didn’t hold back and began their killing spree!

All of these preparations now transformed into the great divine power of Master Burgess’s descent! General Osborn descended in a golden light, his spear striking down like a sudden storm, shattering the Sculpture of Origins at the core of the Flame of Stars!

Along with this, some illusory rule that had enveloped the sky of Boneset Country for tens of thousands of years was also broken. Countless temples of both the old and new faiths trembled and shook, with the nearest Holy Fire Temple’s main hall cracking open! The sixteen bishops who had carried the "Sculpture of Origins," along with the Pope presiding over the ceremony, did not directly suffer from General Osborn’s attack, but they too collapsed to the ground, bleeding from their eyes and feeling weak.

The surrounding believers wept uncontrollably, filled with sorrow.

Colin Devin and his companions laughed out loud, declaring their success! He stepped down from the platform and walked towards the Holy Fire Temple, with General Osborn’s golden figure following in the air behind him—or rather, General Osborn was manipulating Colin Devin from behind.

He intended to take control of Boneset Country’s first temple. Having directly defeated the Flame of Stars, General Osborn believed he could smoothly assimilate everything of this false deity and quickly convert all of his followers into his own disciples.

With the Origin Resurgence still not completed and having already acquired millions of disciples in the Lower Realm, he was far ahead of the other deities in the Heaven Realm!

The National Master stood at the window of the inn, which was conveniently located right next to the Holy Fire Temple square. He could clearly see the entire celebration from this vantage point.

Behind him stood the Little Princess, while Verna was still covered by a blanket, snoring away in bed. In her view, nothing in the outside world was that important, as her brother would handle everything.

The National Master and the Little Princess watched General Osborn descend in a golden divine form together. The National Master asked, "Sir, shall we not intervene?" The Little Princess shook her head gently, looked at General Osborn walking towards the Holy Fire Temple, and commented in two words, "Foolish."

The National Master looked somewhat puzzled, and the Little Princess explained, "He doesn’t understand the faith of the Red Clan Barbarians. Master, please observe the expressions of these believers." The National Master glanced at them and was also surprised, "Although there is fear in their eyes, there is much more hatred and anger."
