Volume 5 Chapter 66: The Unrepenting Abyss

Translator: La0o9

Half a month quickly went by, and the Seven Churches began heading towards the Unrepenting Abyss.

Those without faith in this world would be guided by the Unrepenting Abyss after their deaths and head into this destination of the faithless. After that, they would suffer the endless grudge and pain to eventually become degraded into dead souls.

In the past, Negary had already done quite a bit of research on the Unrepenting Abyss.

Through the bones of many faithless and the bones of an elf, he summoned the elven soldier called Lor as well as a large number of dead souls.

These dead souls were now serving as Shade Attendants under Negary.

While the elf called Lor continued to remain within the Unrepenting Abyss. Negary once borrowed her help to enter the Unrepenting Abyss, where he discovered the truth about it.

This so-called destination of the faithless was actually the same destination for every living being in this world. The souls that had been said to enter the divine kingdoms of Gods were simply gathered to be used during Gods’ Offering Day to make the ‘fruit’ more delectable.

Even if the majority of the people who now lived in this world were the descendants of soldiers who fought for the Seven Gods’ sake, there was no sense of guilt for the Gods in using their souls to nurture the fruit they consumed.

A believer usually vowed to offer their ‘everything’ for their Gods, which naturally included their descendants, did it not?

Not to mention, for immortal entities like the Seven Gods, it was impossible for them to hold any emotions for things like descendants.

The natural instincts to create and shelter one’s offspring originated from the consideration of one’s offspring as an extension of oneself, but for Pathway Entities like the Seven Gods, as long as their Pathways were not destroyed, they could easily survive until the end of the universe.

To them, a descendant was a creature that carried a bit of their information, a pawn, a bargaining chip, a subject of experiments, as well as a body for them to descend in. No more, no less.

Unless it was related to their Pathway, Pathway Entities were selfish existences, and this was because they had to fully commit themselves to their Pathways.

The entire supply of Source Energy that the Moon Tree world absorbed from space was contained inside the Unrepenting Abyss. To facilitate the maximum deprivation of Source Energy and ensure that the ‘fruit’ quickly matured, the Seven Gods had jointly cursed the elven heroic spirit burial site, converting it into the Unrepenting Abyss, which took advantage of the madness and grudges of living beings to isolate this place.

The Seven Gods jointly created the Unrepenting Abyss, so it required the joint effort of the Seven Gods during Gods’ Offering Day in order to extract the Source Energy fruit within. This was both the moderation and restraint that kept the Seven Gods balanced, but this balance had now been broken.

Red Tears and Eulogy of the Ocean Depths were caught in Life Bearer’s trap and fell into slumber. This suggested that among the Seven Gods, one of them had found a method to break the balance of the Seven Gods’ joint curse.

And it was Negary who provided this method.

Before Negary became the world virus, Eternal Heat had already descended in front of him. The reason why Negary and Eternal Heat initially established their cooperation was due to this bargaining chip that Negary offered. Through this cooperation and under Eternal Heat’s protection, Negary successfully converted himself into the world virus.

…

The Sun Shadow Church’s group was moving through the lonely barren night. Within this long line of people, Green was hiding in the shadows, silently observing it. During this Gods’ Offering Day ritual, the newly-reformed Night Watchers - who were now called the Guardians- were responsible for silently protecting this ritual group.

And Green, who rose into power from the town of Lohr, had been assigned the role of ensuring the ritual’s safety. There was also quite a story behind sir Green; he was originally kicked out from the Church’s training grounds and became a good-for-nothing who only stayed at home. It wasn’t until his older brother Reid - a Red Sun Knight - was killed in action that he joined the Night Watchers to avenge his brother.

While the criminal Snake Demon Isrig had yet to be captured even now, sir Green had proven his worth by completely cleaning up the chaotic and disorganized Night Watchers from within, further proving that the Church’s reformation wasn’t only necessary, but also the correct decision.

The above was the Church’s opinion of Green.

In reality, Green had met up with his so-called brother-killing nemesis Isrig not too long ago to give him the follow-up orders on how to develop. As an avatar, Green could be considered to be quite successful, growing into a crucial VIP within the Church. While he would never be able to truly hold the Church’s entire forces in his hands due to his lack of faith, he still held at least half of it.

Aside from him, there was also the perfect knight Kunier, who had now become a Divine Guard, as well as Chromie who recently returned after his successful mission and was promoted to the Chief position of the Saint Hunters. It could be said that the three most excellent young men in Lohr had gone on to become the upper brass of the Sun Shadow Church.

However, this upper brass trio was a bit pitiful. Green was an avatar that Negary created, while Chromie had been converted into a half-elf and forced to be a spy.

The Church might have developed considerably, growing in both strength and influence among the citizens, but at least two spies had also managed to infiltrate the upper brass of the Church. No one could really say for sure whether this reformation was successful or not.

After thinking for a bit, Green stopped worrying about this. There was no meaning for a spy like him to be thinking about that; if he had the time, he would rather spend it developing a few more hidden lines of subordinates within the Church, digging away at the Church’s foundation to strengthen the Hermit Order.

The scenery around them was growing increasingly barren. The closer one got to the Unrepenting Abyss, the harsher the environment became. Some faint screaming could even be heard following the howling wind, and normal people would find it impossible to even approach the outskirts of the Unrepenting Abyss.

…

The Unrepenting Abyss could only isolate the majority of the world’s Source Energy and occasionally leaked a bit to the outside. The leaked Source Energy created Awakened Wicked Souls, who would become wanted by all the Churches, considered to be irreconcilable criminals with no chance of salvation. This was because they stole the property of the Gods, and for this reason, if they were captured and killed by a Church, they would then be sacrificed to the Gods in order to squeeze out the Source Energy that allowed them to awaken in the first place.

For the very few Awakened Wicked Souls who managed to avoid detection, some had hidden in the Academic City, who now no longer had a place to flee, while others gathered around the Unrepenting Abyss.

Perhaps it was the characteristic of Source Energy that led these people whose [Origins] were released by Source Energy to gather and want to obtain even more Source Energy from within the Unrepenting Abyss.

…

As the Sun Shadow Church’s group continued forward, Green could clearly sense someone monitoring them with blatant hostility, this hostility continued to follow them, almost like they were purposely applying pressure.

? So everyone has banded together against the Sun Shadow church? ?Green narrowed his eyes.

He was only an advanced servant created by Negary using Green’s information and carried a bit of Negary’s uniqueness, but he wasn’t a clone, so even though he was decently strong, it was only at the level of ‘decent’.

The Awakened Wicked Souls who lingered around the Unrepenting Abyss were nothing but a bunch of dogs who lost their homes that usually needed to be cautious about being detected, so how would they openly exert their malice like this?

The answer was that they had most likely received discreet encouragement from the other Churches.

? Someone’s coming, their target is most likely the Pot of God’s Offering ?Green immediately informed Kunier so that this Divine Guard could inform the Sun Shadow Pope.
