Chapter 854: Purification of the Priesthood

Pulse flight and jump are both powerful tools for escape, and are also necessary abilities for interstellar travel.

But the problem is that there are too many people who are good at these two things.

And whether it is pulse flight or jump, it will leave "traces".

These traces are as unique as fingerprints. Even different engines of the same model will leave slightly different traces.

The Swan is maneuverable and fast, but it has no advantages in pulse flight and jumps, so it will not be able to escape by simply relying on a pulse flight to create distance and then jumping away.

This is also the reason why Villania launched a sneak attack and damaged the high-speed destroyer. I don’t need to run faster than the frigate, I just need to be faster than you.

The damaged high-speed destroyer cannot run fast, and the frigates of the Beso Empire will definitely chase it, and the Swan can take the opportunity to escape.

It’s a good idea, but it’s just a thought.

I don't know why they didn't catch the high-speed destroyer that was easy to catch, but the frigates of the Beso Empire came to chase the Swan.

Maybe they were afraid of catching something and really starting a war, or maybe they were leaving the high-speed destroyers for reinforcements. In any case, they were chasing us.

Fortunately, it was just a frigate, slightly slower than a light cruiser, otherwise once it was entangled, there would be no chance of escape.

That guy chased the Swan across four or five star systems, forcing Li Chengxi to stop the ship several times to fight that grandson to the death. It was not until the Swan entered the range of the star cluster alliance that the frigate of the Beso Kingdom reluctantly turned around and returned, and then chased across the border to enforce the law.

The Swan then circled around several nearby star systems, making full use of the stars' enormous gravity to "wipe its butt", and finally returned to Blackhand Port.

Father Pro was also very worried about the situation of Alyssa and the others. As soon as he heard that the Swan was approaching, he waited at the port early.

However, the port was not a place to talk, so everyone immediately took a bus back home. When they got home, they told Father Pro everything that had happened along the way.

The latter was frightened after hearing this. Father Pro just wanted to find out where Shanna came from and what was so special about the Child of the Stars, but he didn't expect that Shanna was almost lost.

After listening to the whole process, Li Chengxi finally understood what was going on.

Originally, Sana was going to use herself as a sacrifice to activate the purification device, but Li Chengxi reached in and clicked it, so Sana was not sacrificed.

——This logic doesn’t make sense…

Think about it from another perspective. Since Shanna is needed as a sacrifice, it is first because the purification device requires energy. But the energy source of the ancient elves is said to be able to output so-called endless energy. Is a sacrifice really necessary?
The fact that the relic is still functioning well after more than 10,000 years proves that it has sufficient energy. No matter how special a living person is, his energy can never compare to that of a relic.

Having said that, the so-called purification device may have some other tricks besides energy.

In addition, Li Chengxi reached in and made a click, and as a result, Sana did not have to be sacrificed.

Why is that?
Is it not necessary because of God's intervention?

According to this line of thought, could the so-called purification device be something related to God?
It is easy to verify. Li Chengxi just needs to take a look at the faith value displayed by Viola to see if there is any consumption.

Upon taking a look, I discovered that the faith value had indeed dropped by about 5, which meant that some of the divine power had been consumed as a replacement for Shanna.

But what puzzled Li Chengxi was that not only did the faith value consume, but the faith value limit also dropped from 240 million to 200 million. What the hell was going on? How could the limit be burned?
Never heard of it.

So Li Chengxi took out the notes that Adasi had given him before, which contained common sense that gods should know, and looked through them to see if there was any explanation.

According to the notes, there are only two situations in which divine power decreases.

One is that if the priesthood is lost, the divine power will decrease before it is recovered. The other is that if the priesthood is increased, the divine power will also decrease.

The loss of priesthood is easy to understand. Priesthood is the authority of God. Losing it will definitely reduce the power of God. But shouldn’t more priesthood increase the power of God?
This is a specific situation that requires specific analysis.

For example, if you originally possessed the priesthood of light, but you also acquired a priesthood of conspiracy or murder, your divine power would decrease instead of increase.

The reason is that the new priesthood conflicts with your original priesthood, and both sides interfere with each other, making life difficult for both sides.

Of course, this is just an example. When some seemingly non-conflicting priesthoods come together, their divine power will also decrease, and there are no particularly easy-to-understand rules.

This is also why many powerful gods have a bunch of subordinate gods behind them, and they can just give the divine duties that they don’t need to the people below them.

No matter what the reason for the decline in divine power is, Li Chengxi needs to see whether the number of his divine positions is too many or too few.

So he found a deserted spot on Viola's side, reached in, and right-clicked his hand.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was indeed an additional word "Purification" at the very end of the column of priesthood.

With that said, everything makes sense.

The reason why Shanna needed to be sacrificed was not a lack of energy, but a lack of control.

The so-called purification device of the ancient elves was built with a purification priesthood as the core. In their prosperous times, it was not difficult to find a priesthood. If there was no suitable one, they would drag a god down and kill him before taking him. They had done this before.

But the priesthood will only obey the orders of God. If a mortal forcibly controls the priesthood, it will definitely be destroyed. And if no one controls it, the priesthood will not move on its own.

Therefore, the mission of the Son of Stars is to become a sacrifice, because after the controlling priesthood activates the purification power, the Son of Stars will directly turn into smoke.

When Li Chengxi stretched out his hand and clicked, it was equivalent to taking away the control of the priesthood from Sana. Li Chengxi was a god, and the masterless priesthood would naturally obey his orders. It was for this reason that the priesthood of purification came to Li Chengxi.

However, this purification priesthood was not in line with the original priesthood of the Demon King, resulting in the upper limit of faith value being reduced by 40.

That’s pretty much the process.

The matter of the Son of the Star has been sorted out, but there is still one thing that has not been sorted out.

Shanna said that the last time it was her turn to hatch, a group of people rushed into the ruins and changed the system settings, causing Shanna to fail to hatch successfully. As a result, the Shattered Sky Star was swallowed by the darkness and split into two halves.

Judging from various signs, this group of people is most likely the Cult of Genesis. The fact that the shuttles they left on the tarmac are all Mantas is irrefutable evidence.

What are they here for?
Many people say that the purpose of the Creation of the Gods is to create a true God, and the purification priesthood is placed in the ruins, so why didn’t they take it away?

Also, what exactly is that huge dark entity, and why does it seem to have periodicity?
There are no answers to these questions now. Li Chengxi just feels that there are still some connections that have no clues and cannot be proven...
