Chapter 499: Long-Distance Communication, Found the Entrance

“High Priest, everything has been settled! We used the collapsed ruins to make a simple grave for them!”

Gary walked to Linus’s side and deliberately lowered his voice to report to him.

Linus had been standing on the street for a long time. He kept looking up at the sky as if he was still immersed in sadness. He looked like he was trying very hard to suppress the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.

However, he still replied in an indifferent tone, “How’s the search going?”

Gary was stunned for a moment before saying, “When we were arranging the bodies, we had already searched the surroundings, but we didn’t find anything unusual. We also didn’t find any entrance to the underground. I think that the information given by the foreign race is wrong.”

Linus shook his head and said, “I had my suspicions before, but now I can be sure that the information given to me by Vincent would definitely not be wrong!”

Gary looked at Linus with some confusion. He could accept that the High Priest he trusted had converted his faith, but he was unable to adapt to the fact that he was working with Vincent on this trip. They had become allies in an instant. The contrast was too great, and he could not shift his hostility and suspicion toward Vincent.

Linus noticed that Gary had fallen silent and turned to look at him. He smiled and said, “Did you know I received a response from the Fire Elf King just now? This means that the Elf Race can finally get another response from the other gods. Moreover, the gods told me that all the apostles outside Serene Spring City have been wiped out. This can also explain the real reason why the apostles have not returned despite the chaos in Rebirth City for so long! Those apostles will never be able to return in this lifetime!”

Gary looked at Linus with a face full of astonishment. He could not help but sigh, “The gods have reappeared in this world. That is truly a huge piece of news! But what does this have to do with the fact that the other races may lie to you?”

Linus smiled confidently and said, “Because God has also relayed an important piece of news. They want me to rush to Serene Spring City as soon as possible after I find this secret! That is Vincent’s base camp, which means that the Elf God is working together with Vincent. And when I think of Vincent’s act of sneaking into Imperial City alone, the reappearance of God must have a significant connection to him. Vincent, who even God trusts, will definitely not lie to me!”

After hearing so much shocking news, Gary nodded with a face full of disbelief. He could not help but ask, “But we have searched many places, yet we have not found the underground entrance. Could it be that the entrance is in the sky?”

Linus nodded and smiled. “You are right. The underground entrance is really in the sky!”

He then pointed at the crown of a big tree not far away.

Gary followed Linus’s gaze and looked up. He saw that there seemed to be a hole in the middle of the tree trunk through the crown of the tall old tree. As for how deep it was, he had no idea.

Gary sighed thoughtfully, “Could it be that the entrance to the underground is inside the tree trunk?”

Linus nodded and took out the longbow and arrow from his storage ring. He bent the bow and shot an arrow into the sky.

The arrow flew vertically into the air. Only when it had used up all its strength did it turn around and land on the hollow tree trunk.

Gary immediately understood the purpose of Linus’s action. He quickly ran forward and pressed his ear against the tree trunk. He listened to the echo of the falling arrow carefully.

“Whoosh!”

The arrow landed steadily in the tree hole, but before Gary could hear the echo, the arrow bounced back out from the tree hole, flew back into the air, and finally landed on the ground.

Gary took two steps back in shock and looked at the tree trunk in front of him, his face full of vigilance. He frowned and said, “How did the arrow fly out? There’s someone inside!”

Linus walked forward and picked up the arrow on the ground. After examining it, he shook his head and said, “It’s not an individual who is inside, it’s an array! Someone has set up a restriction in the tree hole. It seems that we have really found the right place this time!”

Gary turned his head curiously and asked, “Array? How do we disable it?”

Linus smiled slightly and said softly, “Don’t forget, I’m the High Priest of Dark Yuan City. Before I changed my faith, I have learned a lot about arrays in the Demon World! Go and gather everyone immediately. I’ll go up and take a look first!”

Gary nodded and then turned around to gather the others.

Linus jumped to the top of the tree crown. He lowered his head to look at the hole in the tree. He saw a faint layer of light half a meter away from the hole. It was the array of the Demon World that had the barrier effect!

“As expected!” sighed Linus.

He then put away the bow and arrow and took out the staff from his storage ring.

Although Linus could no longer use the magic array from the Demon World, he could use the principles of the magic array to pray directly to the gods and use the power of the Fire God to cast the spell to break the array.

Linus chanted reverently with respect and anticipation, “Great Fire Elf King, please grant me the power of origin and help me break the magic barrier in front of me!”

In Serene Spring City, Vincent, who was strolling casually on the streets, once again heard the prayer in the name of the Fire Elf King. He could not help but frown and quickly walked to an empty corner. He closed his eyes and entered meditation. Then, he saw the environment that Linus was currently in, as well as the Demon World array that was placed in the tree hole.

Linus was praying to the Fire Elf King. However, as the Fire Elf King had died, he could be considered to be praying to the divine spark of fire. Vincent could only receive information through the divinity and relay a message to him. However, he could not use the means of a true God to help Linus.

Helpless, Vincent could only convey another message to Linus.

“Stop praying to the Fire Elf King! Pray directly to Vincent!”

Linus, who was half-squatting on a tree trunk, almost fell off the tree after receiving Vincent’s reply. Fortunately, the staff in his hand hung on the tree branch in time, allowing him to stand up firmly.

Linus sighed in his heart with a face full of doubt,?“What’s going on? There’s no Fire Elf King anymore? The God who responded to me is actually Vincent. What on earth has he done?”

Linus felt that the entire world had become extremely unfamiliar.

At that moment, Gary and the other subordinates came to the tree and raised their heads to ask Linus, “High Priest, we are prepared. When can we take action?”

Linus looked at the expectant faces of his subordinates below, especially the faces that symbolized the Dark Elves, which made Linus feel extra heartache.

The original purpose of this trip was to find evidence of the demons’ crimes so that they could get rid of their faith in Gajero in a timely manner. Therefore, Linus finally made a decision. Whether the god who responded to him was the Fire Elf King or Vincent, he had to wait until he arrived at Serene Spring City to find out the truth. The most important thing at that moment was to find the secrets of the demons

Linus gritted his teeth and finally chanted in a low voice, “Great God Vincent, please give me the power to destroy the array left by the demons!”

After hearing Linus’s perfunctory prayer, Vincent in Serene Spring City could not help but shake his head helplessly.

If it were any other believer praying so hastily, Vincent would choose to ignore it. However, as he knew what kind of difficult problem Linus was facing, he could only ignore these details for the time being.

Vincent immediately closed his eyes and responded to Linus’s prayer through his divine personality, sharing his own fire law with Linus!

After fusing with the divine spark of fire, the abilities that Vincent shared with most of his believers were only the most basic fire spells, as well as a small portion of the fire laws.

This was because the fire laws were god-level abilities after all. If a low-level elf or insufficiently perceptive elf were to inherit the complete fire laws, not only would they not increase their own strength, but they might also even set themselves on fire. They would suffer the backlash of the divine abilities, explode, and die.

However, if Vincent wanted to give each believer abilities based on their aptitude, it would be an extremely huge task. Vincent would need to spend decades without sleep or rest to evaluate each believer. If new believers were added during this period of time, then it would never end.

Thus, Vincent chose the same method as every Elf King, which was to share abilities with everyone according to the lowest standards among believers. Although this would reduce the strength of the believers, it could ensure that all believers would not die from receiving too much power.

As for Monica, it was because of Vincent’s special care. Not only did she obtain the fire law and the authority to modify but she also received psionic power that Vincent had extracted from himself. He had helped her to increase her level directly and strengthen her physique. Only then was she able to accommodate the two types of divine abilities.

The current Linus naturally did not need Vincent to worry. He had the strength of a level 40 creature, and in Vincent’s heart, he was a top-notch genius that was on par with Winnie. Thus, even if he were to gift him the complete fire law, there would not be the slightest side effect.

In Rebirth City, Linus was squatting on a tree trunk with a perturbed expression. This was because he knew that his prayers were too hasty and that it would be very difficult for him to win the approval of the gods. However, at the same time, he was also looking forward to the method Vincent would respond to him with if he was really a god.

Suddenly, Linus’s fiery red eyes lit up. They were like two flames that were burning fiercely. At the same time, every pore on his body was emitting flames. Powerful and surging energy instantly filled his body, and a large amount of knowledge and information surged into his mind.

Linus endured intense pain all over his body. In an extremely painful yet excited tone, he sighed, “Fire law!”

He once again looked at the Demon World array inside the tree hole with his burning eyes.

“Boom!”

The intense flames followed Linus’s gaze and lit the Demon World array on fire.

The array was like weak dry wood, instantly disappearing into the flames!
