Lu Zhiyu went to the Divine Kingdom of Gaia and sorted out its internal data. Gaia, in Lu Zhiyu’s view, played a similar role to a game console, and the priests and Holy Knights were similar to the game’s players.
However, in order to play the game, the player must hold strong beliefs. To obtain access, they need to sacrifice their souls and their futures, their reward being extraordinary power.
Players sent requests to Gaia, either by practicing divine incantations or by the strength of their own skills. Then, the Divine Kingdom of Gaia analyzed their requests and gave them feedback.
This time, Lu Zhiyu had returned to the Silver Moon and adjusted Gaia’s sub-brain. As a result, many new divine incantations appeared in the system.
Lu Zhiyu also installed an additional plug-in, which encouraged priests to develop divine incantations themselves. When they uploaded new divine incantations to Gaia, they would receive rewards.
Why has it kind of turned into a bad version of online game?
Do I need to develop a new system that allows players to exchange divine incarnations for something? But, this will make the internal system become less flexible…
OK, I’ll just have to save this for later…
After pondering this predicament for awhile, Lu Zhiyu decided not to pay any more attention to the development of the Church of Light on the mainland. After all, the influence of the Church of Light was of little significance to him. As long as the extraordinary power continued to grow and the priests and Holy Knights continued to expand, that would be enough.
At this moment, in the large divine palaces and churches of the Church of Light and the Faith of the Sun, numerous god statues shone fiercely. The divine seeds in the bodies of all of the people were updated simultaneously. The divine system that had originally been controlled by Gaia was thoroughly systematized.
Saga City, Kingdom of the Church of Light
When the noon bell chimed, the Temple of Light glowed with an intense light. The second-generation pope, Arthur, who was the former archbishop, rushed inside the Temple of Light and watched the light shuttling across it, while many people within the temple area exclaimed…
“Is this an oracle coming down?”
“And what will the gods want to tell us?”
“How can it be? Gods have not given an oracle for many years!”
All of people in the temple were shocked. Likewise, all of the priests gathered in the palaces at the same time, their faces revealing the emotions of ecstasy, devotion, fear and panic.
Dong!
There was a sound like a bell from heaven. After Lu Zhiyu updated Gaia, all of the priests and Temple Knights on the Alan Continent had a large number of divine incantation imprinted in their minds…
Blessing, Healing, Judgment Ray, Light Shield, Light Sword, Contact Curse, Lie Detection, Great Power, Blood Activation, Saint Baptism…
Group Healing, Prayer, Mind Chaos, Fear, True Words…
Advent, Summon the Unicorns, Redemption…
Even level seven divine incantations, like Call from Heaven, Seraphim Falls, Oracle, Resurrection and so on were included in the lists. However, divine incantations of this level were all in imprinted in gray, as they could only be activated with artifacts, ichor, or by special authority. Therefore, at present, they could only be seen by cardinals, popes, and the patriarch of the Faith of the Sun.
Divine incantations from level one to level six were all sorted out in one long list. Everyone could only see their own corresponding divine incantations, as well as those of the next level up. For example, level one priests and Holy Knights could see level one and level two divine incantations.
This was shocking and amazing. This was because, with this power, a priest who could master two or three divine incantations was able to guard one region and become the backbone of the church!
“God! It’s really a gift! Resurrection and Call from Heaven! Can this be true?” one onlooker couldn’t stop crying.
Anyone who saw this list of powerful divine incantations felt instantly overwhelmed, as these divine incantations could only be mastered through self-study and the gods’ bestowals. For self-study, a person could learn a few dozen divine incantations in a lifetime, but still wouldn’t be highly gifted.
In fact, everything had not changed much, it was just that Lu Zhiyu had finally revealed the originally hidden divine incantations, thus promoting the rapid development of the divine system. Now, every divine incantation had its corresponding requirement, and being disciples and Saints were really the bottom line and same fundamental factor.
Lu Zhiyu used this update to encourage all players to become disciples and Saints, as well as to integrate the system into the Divine Kingdom of Gaia. In this way, Lu Zhiyu was preparing for the future development of Gaia and Maria’s World.
However, this might not take place for quite some time, as after the tragedies of Li Weisi, Adenos, and the King of the Dead, wizards had suffered great rejection from the mainland. However, they had also attracted countless people to come and want to learn witchcraft at the wizard academy.
In this way, numerous Blood Wizards and Dream Wizards were hiding in the dark, while the presence of Ghost Wizards continued to grow on the mainland. The power of the divine system kept increasing, while the changes in and progress of wizards became more rapid.
Twenty years ago, the war cost the wizard tower and the Colosseum Academy a lot, but the sting was only felt among the high-level wizards. In contrast, the wizards at the bottom levels had been growing steadily over the past two decades.
In that time, this group of wizards, which had originally only had a few hundred thousand members, had expanded to an extent that no one could even have imagined before. As such, these apprentices and low-ranking wizards had a great impact on the Alan Continent.
The wizards who were hiding in the dark in cities, as well as young priests and Temple Knights had also begun to spread their footprints throughout the continent. At the same time, a new generation of dragons began to enter their youth, magical beasts began to multiply, and countless magical beasts were frolicking amid the seas. The extraordinary power of all of these creations really covered most of the Alan Continent, and the battle among the extraordinary powers officially started at this moment.

Meanwhile, at the floating castle…
When Lu Zhiyu returned to a small building at the top of the castle, he heard a sudden cry outside. When Lu Zhiyu looked out, Eva came running up to him, holding Delmedi in her arms. Following behind Eva, Verthandi was pouting angrily, a scowl on her pretty little face.
Delmedi, who was being held in Eva’s arms, burst into tears. Her pitiful cry could penetrate the castle and the clouds.
Looking at Delmedi’s red eyes, Lu Zhiyu asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Zhiyu took Delmedi and held her in his arms. Delmedi sobbed, pointed to her sister, and said, “She hit me!”
Verthandi glared at Delmedi. “She dropped the book, causing it to fly out of the castle!”
Lu Zhiyu asked, “What book?”
Delmedi wiped away her tears, pointed to the table, and said, “The one on that table…”
Lu Zhiyu suddenly remembered that it was the book called The Book of the Devil, the Devil’s picture book! He frowned. This book was not an ordinary book, and the loss of it could cause a great deal of trouble.
Seeing Lu Zhiyu’s frown, Delmedi cried even more passionately. “Dad is unhappy with me! My sister doesn’t like me, and my father doesn’t like me now either.”
Lu Zhiyu rubbed Delmedi’s head softly. “You naughty rascal. Don’t worry about the book. Let’s go to dinner!”
Although he said these words to soothe her, Lu Zhiyu was really worried about the loss of this book.
