Chapter 401: – The Church of Nature

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On this small island, Kalunu made a lot of amazing discoveries.

In addition to the previous fire tree, some red crystals and other things were available.

These things were all nurtured by the small island; therefore, their essence was very high as they carried a bit of God’s aura.

If they could be taken out, they would all be good things that could make people go crazy.

However, in this place, they were everywhere, nothing uncommon.

To put it bluntly, even the small island itself was a scarce good thing.

The power of God’s corpse remained on this island and affected the surroundings, allowing the things nurtured by this piece of land to carry a powerful essence naturally.

If some magical plants could be placed in this place to be cultivated, they would probably achieve an excellent result.

Even if it were an ordinary human, if they lived in this area for a long time, they would probably experience a transformation, enhancing their essence of life.

The soil that existed in this area could be a good alchemy material. It could be a treasure ground.

As he walked past this area, Kalunu’s interest grew. To him, this prison was indeed a treasure.

Who knew how many powerful beings of the past had been imprisoned here.

These powerful beings were treasures. Even the things left behind from their corpses were rare treasures in the world.

Perhaps to a real God, they weren’t considered Gods, but for Kalunu, they were a valuable treasure.

The risk was not taken in vain this time.

Not much time had passed since he entered this place, but he had already gained quite a lot and obtained a few things.

Even the divinity in his body had increased, and it had already exceeded his expectation.

‘Many things are still yet to be discovered in here.’

This thought flashed through Kalunu’s mind. Then, he seemed to sense something and quickly turned around and looked in a specific direction.

Under his gaze, a faint light appeared in the distance, flickering.

It was a faint golden radiance that was extremely bright, containing an indescribable nomological Power of Law that was faintly similar to the power of the seals around it, but it was much stronger.

An unprecedentedly terrifying feeling emerged from Kalunu’s body as the radiance flickered, carrying a threat of death.

If he were to come into contact with this ray of light, he would die.

“What is this thing?”

As he looked at the ray of light that appeared in front of him, this thought flashed through Kalunu’s mind. At this moment, he was unprecedentedly vigilant.

However, soon after, he did not have the time to think about anything else.

That was because, at this moment, the ray of light in front of him had already swept over and quickly arrived in front of him.

Not only was the power contained within it, but even its speed was also extremely fast.

The light had already swept over and arrived in front of him. Even before Kalunu could completely react, Kalunu thought to himself.

‘What exactly was this thing?’

Then, golden light illuminated the surroundings in the next moment, illuminating everything.

The light was like a golden sword, sweeping through the surroundings, leveling the area, and illuminating the surroundings.

However, the figure initially standing in the middle had disappeared under this light.

Kalunu’s figure completely disappeared; there was no way to see him.

Whoosh.

Under the temple’s ruins, a series of severe panting sounds could be heard in the outside world.

In front of him was an empty area, where a golden door stood at the end of the area, looking particularly gorgeous.

Kalunu stood outside the golden door. At this moment, one of his hands was still pressed against the golden door, and he was panting heavily.

“That was close…”

He gasped, and as he recalled the scene just now, he could not help but feel some lingering fear in his heart.

He was certain that he would have already turned into nothingness if he had not left quickly enough just now.

In that instant, he directly connected with the power of that secret realm and used it to teleport out.

He could do it mainly because of some power he had absorbed from the golden door.

After Kalunu absorbed that portion of the Power of Law, it seemed to have given Kalunu partial permissions, allowing him to enter and exit this prison freely.

As long as he wanted to, he could have left that place.

Of course, the price he had to pay was also exceptionally high.

Kalunu panted heavily. At this moment, he felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out.

There was still quite a strong divine power in his body, but it was almost exhausted now.

From the looks of it, it had been entirely consumed by the teleportation just now. This kind of consumption could be terrifying to a certain extent.

‘This should be a ticket to leave.’

Kalunu panted heavily as this thought flashed through his mind.

“From the looks of it, I can’t go back in for the time being…”

After a long while, his face regained some calmness. Then, he looked at the golden door in front of him and muttered to himself.

The golden door still existed.

He could still pass through this golden door and enter that secret realm as long as he was willing.

However, it was easy to enter, but it wouldn’t be the case if he wanted to come out again.

At the very least, judging from the expenditure just now, Kalunu’s entire body was unable to fork out enough energy to teleport out.

This meant that it might be over for him if he encountered danger in there.

The risks involved need to be considered.

Thus, for the time being, Kalunu was not prepared to go in yet, and he felt it.

On his body, the things he had obtained before were still there.

Those Dragon scales, Dragon blood, soil, and even the unique materials nurtured on those islands…

These things were still with him, and he had stored them very well.

This made Kalunu heave a sigh of relief.

With these things, his operation this time was not a loss.

After he finished digesting the harvest this time, it would not be too late for him to enter.

Then, he looked around, turned around, and left this area. He left the temple and headed to the outside world.

There didn’t seem to be much change in the surroundings compared to the Kalunu before.

The temple ruins were still the same as before, standing there quietly. Every blade of grass, every tree, and even the surrounding scenery were very apparent.

As he walked to the outside world, Herald and the others were still waiting for him outside. They immediately stood up and looked at him when they saw him coming out.

“Leader!”

Dilin and Eileen walked forward and came to Kalunu’s side. They looked at Kalunu with concern, “How are you?”

“I’m fine.”

Looking at Dilin and Eileen, Kalunu shook his head and said, “I got some things. It’s a harvest.”

“But it’s a bit dangerous inside. I can’t deal with it, so I can only retreat temporarily.”

He looked at the people before him and then said, “How much time has passed?”

He asked.

“Now?”

Dilin pondered for a moment and answered, “Three days have passed.”

“Three days?”

Kalunu nodded, not surprised. ‘It seems that the time in there hasn’t changed much compared to the outside world. It should still be at the same level.’

This thought flashed through his mind, and then he silently turned around and looked at the outside world.

“Next, I’ll deal with other things…”

He looked at Herald and Mcdodo, and then he thought to himself.

They didn’t stay in this area anymore and walked out directly.

At this moment, Hechi and the others had led the army to the border of this fertile land, as per Kalunu’s previous order.

Next, Kalunu was prepared to integrate this area and gather the Kobold tribes as his subordinates.

If nothing unexpected happened, this process would be more tedious and require a certain amount of Kalunu’s time.

However, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

After all, although there were many Kobolds in this fertile land, their strength wasn’t strong.

Herald and Mcdodo, beside Kalunu, were already the top of the Kobolds in this area, though they were only at the first ring.

There was no need to talk about the others.

If the strength was just as such, it was a matter of time to Kalunu.

In the future, it could be predicted that if he could occupy this fertile land and integrate the Kobolds, the strength of Kalunu’s subordinates would significantly increase, reaching a new level.

Kalunu was looking forward to it.

…

Just as Kalunu was in the desert, starting to integrate the power of the Kobolds within the Karo Kingdom, Chen Heng was also beginning to make his moves.

Within the Karo Kingdom, several months have passed.

The entire Karo Kingdom has returned to a rudimentary state of calm within a few months.

The influence left behind by the Dusk Cult had already disappeared and was gradually dissipating.

The wounds and influence of the past had gradually disappeared and were replaced by a brand new life.

During this period, all the noble families in the Karo Kingdom had already gotten used to Chen Heng, the new Prime Minister.

The entire Karo Kingdom had gradually calmed down, and everything seemed to be getting better.

Of course, this was only on the surface. In the dark, many turbulent waves were gradually appearing. The most obvious change was the change in power.

In the past few months, in the eyes of all, King Kalimu, who had gotten rid of the influence of the Dusk Cult, seemed to have started to degenerate.

He did not frequently patrol various regions or deal with various matters in the palace as in the past. Instead, he enjoyed every day, hiding and resting in his palace.

King Kalimu had handed over the partial power that represented the royal family in the Karo Kingdom to Chen Heng and Guluo Mary.

And the power under Chen Heng’s command was rapidly expanding within the short span of a few months.

On the surface, to reward Chen Heng’s achievements, Kalimu began to give him continuous rewards, dividing the territory that originally belonged to the royal family and handing them over to Chen Heng.

Under the attack of the Dusk Cult, there were also many noble lords who they killed.

Many of them, even the entire family, didn’t escape and were all annihilated and died.

And after they died, the territories that initially belonged to them were naturally left behind and were also occupied by Chen Heng.

Therefore, within a short period, Chen Heng’s power rapidly expanded. Now, he had occupied a large portion of the Karo Kingdom.

Many people could see this.

He used to be a mighty Warlock. When he first came to the Karo Kingdom, he was already at the Second Ring.

And at the previous moment, he had displayed a terrifying power, almost as if he was a legendary existence recorded in epics, defeating the Dusk Cult.

His strength was bottomless, definitely far above the others.

Even in the hands of a mighty empire like the Oro Empire, one might not be able to find an existence that could match him, not to mention the Karo Kingdom.

His bloodline and identity were also highly honorable.

Chen Heng was a Warlock who had awakened the divine blood in terms of the bloodline. His identity was honorable, even more honorable than the royal family of the Karo Kingdom.

In terms of status, he was originally the son of a Duke and had an extremely respectable status. After entering the Karo Kingdom, he received the title of a Viscount and became a Viscount of Karo Kingdom.

His uncle was Viscount Siriv of the Eileen family. His good friends were all over the Karo Kingdom, and the number of noble families that were on good terms with him could not be counted.

Whether it was status, strength, status, connections, or other things, he had them all.

In other words, he was invulnerable.

Faced with such a person, no one in the Karo Kingdom could go against him.

He would gradually erode the power of the entire Karo Kingdom in the long run.

In the end, the Karo Kingdom could become his territory. Many people had already predicted this.

Many people had privately advised the King, hoping that the King would be vigilant.

However, if they did this, they wouldn’t be able to curry favor with the King in the end and would be directly kicked out by the King.

From the looks of it, the king still had immense trust in Viscount Acto, who had personally rescued him.

Many people with insight felt helpless, but they could do nothing.

Chen Heng gradually controlled the Karo Kingdom.

Yet under such circumstances, Chen Heng appeared very calm.

In a spacious manor, Chen Heng sat alone in a small courtyard. At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He silently raised his head and looked into the distance.

“What’s wrong?”

In front of him, Guluo Mary’s somewhat puzzled voice sounded.

“Nothing.”

Hearing Guluo Mary’s words, Chen Heng shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face. “I just suddenly thought of some good news.”

The news from Kalunu had already spread to him, and he felt it.

A secret realm left behind by a God was such a huge harvest. Even for Chen Heng, it was extremely huge. It was such an unexpected joy.

With this secret realm, it would be of great help to him in peering into God’s domain.

“How’s the situation recently?”

Thinking about the situation over there, Chen Heng said softly as he turned around and looked at Guluo Mary in front of him.

“There are some obstacles, but overall, it’s not bad.”

Facing Chen Heng’s gaze, Guluo Mary nodded and said, “Many people are very resistant to the new changes. There was some chaos at the beginning.”

“However, these people don’t possess much power. Even if there is some resistance, it’s not a big problem.”

“And when time passes and these people get used to it, it won’t be a big deal.”

She spoke and told him about the current situation.

“Is that so…”

Hearing Guluo Mary’s words, Chen Heng nodded. He was somewhat satisfied.

The entire Karo Kingdom had already fallen into his control.

Besides the territories that the Lords still occupied, the territories occupied by the royal family had fallen into his hands.

Although these territories still belonged to the King-in-name, in reality, they were already under the control of Chen Heng’s men, and everything within them had already fallen into his hands.

With the cooperation of Kamo, the King-in-name, they could do things very easily.

After taking control of these territories, Chen Heng redid what he had done in his territory before, including distributing the land, recruiting refugees, and conducting trade and business…

Under all sorts of measures, some people’s interests would be damaged, and some things would cause trouble.

But generally speaking, it didn’t matter.

After all, this world depended on fists.

And within the Karo Kingdom, Chen Heng’s fists and authority were the biggest.

He could generally do what he wanted to do.

“But…”

Guluo Mary’s face showed some hesitation while sitting in front of Chen Heng. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, “Do you have any connection with the Church of Nature?”

“The Church of Nature?”

Hearing this, Chen Heng could not help but pause. He was a little surprised. “Why do you ask?”

“When I was outside dealing with matters, the priests of the Church of Nature were very cooperative with our actions. They did not seem to reject us like the others.”

Guluo Mary said, “They even took the initiative to help us. They cooperated with our actions and gave us a lot of conveniences.”

“Is there such a thing?”

Hearing Guluo Mary’s words, Chen Heng could not help but feel surprised.
