Chapter 160 Seizing the Kingdom of God
The next day, Wu Chang kept his promise and left home early after he and Irene took the transformation pills.

Irene's appearance was too ostentatious, especially after completing her stigmata and gaining the true form of a god. Her innate divine aura was enough to make any ordinary person feel ashamed.

If we don't take some precautions, the scouts that gather here will block the traffic within an hour.

After taking the transformation pill, Irene turned into an Oriental person. Her blonde hair turned into black hair, her height and fullness shrank, and by restraining her divine power, her godly temperament was also weakened.

It has reached the point where I can barely go out wearing a mask.

Irene left home and found everything so new and novel. The plane where she originally lived had already started the industrial revolution and had large steam ships, but compared with modern industry, there was still a world of difference.

The streets filled with cars and the commercial district lined with tall buildings were scenes that Irene could never have imagined.

In order to better experience the world, Irene did not choose to take public transportation but chose to walk.

Wu Chang planned to take Irene to the nearby commercial street first. As soon as they arrived at the commercial street, they found that after not being there for a few days, the facades of several shops at the entrance of the commercial street had been changed. Four shops were bought by the same person, and all the insides were connected and converted into a gallery.

The name of the gallery is simple: Emotions.

These days, there are constant turmoil all over the world, the economy continues to decline, and traditional industries are not doing well. The signs of the shops at the entrance of the commercial street can be changed three times a year.

Noodle shops and hotpot restaurants, which used to make money easily, can no longer operate, so why are there people who would buy four shops and open an art gallery?

The gallery was under renovation and had not yet opened. A man in a white suit and sunglasses was sitting at a small table at the door drinking coffee.

When he saw Wu Chang and the other person, his eyes were instantly attracted to them. To be more precise, he was attracted to Irene.

The man took the initiative to come over and said, "I am the owner of this gallery, Lu Langfeng, an artist who explores the beauty of life. Beautiful lady, do you mind if I draw a portrait for you?"

Wu Chang looked at Lu Langfeng. He had encountered too many things recently, which made him very wary. He used over a hundred inspiration points to look him around, but he didn't find anything wrong with him, so he felt relieved.

"There's no charge, right?"

Lu Langfeng smiled and said, "I only paint for people who are worth painting. If I meet someone who is worth painting, I never charge money. If someone is not worth painting, I won't charge money even if you give me money."

Wu Chang looked at Irene. Seeing that Lu Langfeng was very sincere, Irene said, "Then draw one, but don't take too long. We have things to do."

Lu Langfeng smiled brightly, "No problem, my best skill is sketching."

He went back to the store, took out his drawing board, and started sketching without asking Irene to take off her mask. He was indeed an expert in sketching, and it only took him a dozen minutes to draw a sketch that looked like a real person.

He gave the finished product to Irene and said with a little regret: "Although you are beautiful enough, you lack some emotions. Emotions are the soul of human beings and the most wonderful and shining point of human beings. If I have the opportunity, I would like to draw a portrait of you with emotions."

Irene took the portrait and smiled, "Thank you, that's good enough."

After Irene and Wu Chang left and entered the commercial street, Lu Langfeng returned to his original state and continued to drink coffee leisurely.

Ten minutes later, he returned to the gallery with a coffee cup in his hand, put it down, and said, "I'm back."

After saying that, he came to a blank wall, put his hands behind his neck, and tore himself into a flat surface with force.

Then he lifted himself up and hung the hook behind his neck on the blank wall.

His body gradually became flat, and after a few breaths, it turned into a colorful abstract painting.

In a private studio deep in the gallery, the painter who had disappeared for many days sat in front of the drawing board, continuing the movements of Lu Langfeng before, carefully painting a young girl.

The painter's painting skills are much higher than Lu Langfeng's sketches. He accurately grasps the charm of the character. Not only does he paint the girl flawlessly, but he also portrays her godlike and transcendent temperament vividly.

The girl on the screen is exactly what Irene originally looked like.

As the number one troublemaker in the Wilderness, an existence that the four major organizations and the evil god believers cannot do anything about, the Painter is extremely good at tracking and counter-tracking. Otherwise, even if he maintained cooperation with certain forces, he would have been hacked to death by the guys in the second or third level of the Abyss.

The first time he spied on Wu Chang and was nearly discovered, he felt that Wu Chang had a strong inspiration and extremely sharp intuition. Even among the direct players of the four major organizations, he was one of the best.

Coupled with the previous experience of being in the quiet town together, he paid extra attention to Wu Chang.

He deliberately moved the gallery closer to where Wu Chang lived, and also prepared special paper puppets to avoid Wu Chang's super strong inspiration. This observation really made him see the problem.

He was certain that the girl who had just followed Wu Chang was definitely not a Blue Star person. Not only did she possess abilities beyond the scope of the Wilderness, she also possessed extremely rare divinity.

She is at least a demigod.

Moreover, he was certain that the girl was brought out by Wu Chang and was definitely not given to his care by the Countermeasures Bureau. The reason was simple. If the Countermeasures Bureau obtained such a powerful being, she would definitely appear in a more important city and be treated as a treasure. She would never appear in Wanghai City.

As the painter was painting, he kept muttering, "It seems that the new guy from the Administration brought an incredible creature out of the dungeon. If you can bring such a treasure out, you must protect it."

Wu Chang, who was shopping with Irene, felt a chill on his back.

He turned his head and took a few looks, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he continued to go shopping with Irene.

For the entire day, they went to many shops like a normal couple on a date, bought some modern clothes for Irene, and went to the cinema to take her to experience a big screen movie.

After playing for a while, it was already dark. Before going home, Irene suddenly said:

"I want to go check out the bar you went to last night."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Chang's forehead instantly broke out in sweat. The things in the Yege Bar were not suitable for good children to see, especially Irene.

He was on official business last night. If Irene saw it and mistakenly thought that he often went to that kind of place, his great and glorious image would be ruined.

"It's a little early for you there. If you're curious about the bar, we can go to another one."

Irene looked at Wu Chang in confusion and said, "Didn't you say before that you felt powerful traces of mystical rituals in that bar? Although I'm not a master of mysticism, the stigmata have given me a god-level perception of energy. I think I can find the existence related to it based on the remaining energy there."

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment, then smiled in relief, "So that's what you're talking about. No problem, I'll take you there right away. The mystical energy there is so strong that you can feel it even without going in."

Irene tilted her head slightly, looked at Wu Chang who suddenly relaxed, and asked:
"You were very nervous just now, as if you had some secret you were afraid I'd find out."

Wu Chang sternly denied it, "I am an upright person. I can guarantee that yesterday was the first time I went there in my life, and it was my colleagues who dragged me there!"

Irene looked at Wu Chang in confusion, not knowing why he reacted so strongly, but since he said so, she didn't pursue the matter any further.

Led by Wu Chang, the two arrived at the entrance of Yege Bar.

Wu Chang, whose head has been contaminated by occultism, can clearly sense the occult shield surrounding Ye Ge with his high level of inspiration.

Irene's eyes glowed with a faint golden color. She stared at the Night Song Bar and said, "It has a strong mystical atmosphere."

As the culmination of human mysticism and alchemy, Irene's existence is a miracle of mysticism.

No one is more sensitive to the occult than she is.

An idea came to Wu Chang's mind. If there were enough places in Wanghai City polluted by the occult, by taking Irene around, perhaps he could directly complete the first job transfer mission.

Irene walked around Ye Ge, then looked towards the south and said:
"This is not a complete occult ritual, but an incomplete part of a occult ritual."

Wu Chang frowned and said, "You mean..."

Irene nodded and said, "There is a huge occult ritual going on in this city, and this is just one of the nodes."

Wu Chang's throat felt a little dry. It was just a node in a huge occult ritual that could turn hundreds of people into monsters.

How big is the appetite of Tang Renquan and the forces behind him?
Irene looked up into the air, as if there was some mark there.

"If you want to connect all the nodes together to form a large and complete ritual, you must create a huge mystical circuit to match it."

"I can see the occult circuits between the linked nodes, which lead to the next node. If I find enough nodes, I may be able to deduce the purpose of this occult ritual."

Wu Chang followed Irene and walked towards the south of Wanghai City. On the way, he imitated Irene and tried hard to look up at the sky.

Even with his eyes that had been transformed by the pollution of mysticism, and with his three-digit inspiration, he couldn't detect it, but he didn't find any trace.

Still have to practice.

No matter how high his value is, it is still limited by the vision of mortals. The clear world in his eyes is far from the world observed by gods.

Irene followed the traces of mystical energy and came to the second mystical node.

It was a detached villa with strict security around it. Community security guards with fierce looks patrolled the area constantly. Cameras covered all areas without blind spots. Only those who were invited could enter.

These appearances are all false, and are only used to drive away ordinary people who are short-sighted.

The real defense measure in the villa is the occult rituals arranged here. Through his eyes polluted by occultism, Wu Chang can vaguely see the occult energy forming a huge monster.

The monster has a body similar to that of a human, but its limbs are disproportionately long and thick, and its hunched back means it can only lie on the ground like a wild beast.

Its body is covered with a lot of hair, and like a watchdog, it watches its surroundings vigilantly. Anyone who approaches will be watched by it. Once it is sure that there is no dangerous target approaching, it will lower its head and take big bites of the raw meat in the food bowl.

This watchdog is the real security guard of the villa. Once any unwelcome guy breaks in, he will be torn to pieces and turned into food in the food bowl.

Even if the intruder is too powerful for the guard dog to handle, it is enough to trigger the alarm and convey the information of the intrusion to the owner.

As soon as he approached the villa, a prompt popped up in front of Wu Chang. "Detected that there is an occult contaminated area around. Approaching the occult contaminated area, reality anchoring can be performed."

Found the right place.

Wu Chang opened the backend of the management bureau's system and searched for the owner of the villa in front of him. He found that the property rights belonged to a rich second-generation who had been living abroad for a long time. When the house was unused, he lent it to friends for parties.

The friend I lent it to happened to be Tang Renquan.

Wu Chang frowned. It was this kid again.

To be honest, he was more like a participant. Seeing an unfamiliar name, always Tang Renquan, did not mean that all the bad things were done by him alone. It only meant that from the very beginning, he was prepared to take all the blame and cover up for others.

According to Irene, Tang Renquan and others are arranging a super-large occult ritual, and the ritual nodes they are arranging are not as simple as just one or two.

It is not the time to close the net yet, so we cannot alert the enemy, so if you want to enter the villa, you must not force your way into it.

But for him, there is no need to force his way in.

With social phobia and elite stealth activated, not only were the surrounding cameras unable to detect his presence, but even the monsters summoned by the occult rituals were unaware of the intruder.

He stood in the place where the occult energy was the strongest, next to the monster, and carried out reality anchoring in a swaggering manner.

Soon under the contamination of the occult, his upper body and arms began to be contaminated by the occult.

"You have successfully completed an anchor point in the real world. The current area has been anchored. Please change the area."

"Current reality anchor point: 2/3."

"Your body is contaminated by the occult, life -1, strength +1, energy +2."

As his entire upper body was contaminated, his attributes finally changed, 1 point of life attribute in exchange for 3 points of other attributes.

The changes on the panel are only superficial. After his upper body was contaminated by the occult, his body began to transform into energy. The most intuitive manifestation is that he can touch the energy. At the same time, he can control the original energy in his body more easily.

He is still in the first stage of his job change, and it is still a long way from being completely contaminated by the occult. Even so, he can feel obvious changes. If he completes the job change, his body will probably become something between entity and energy.

The Arcane Knight is indeed a hidden profession. It is not an ordinary knight + wizard, nor is it a simple dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Instead, it directly changes the user's state of existence.

After completing the reality anchoring, Wu Chang left the villa, noted his current location, and followed Irene to the third node.

The third node was beyond his imagination; it was actually a Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple has a history of thousands of years. Now it serves as a tourist attraction, allowing citizens to visit for free. The temple enshrines Emperor Wenchang, who dominates fame and fortune. Every year before and after the college entrance examination, this is the most popular tourist attraction nearby. If you want to burn a stick of incense during the day, you have to queue for at least half an hour.

However, at this moment, the Wenchang Temple, which enshrines Emperor Wenchang, has been transformed into a node for mystical rituals. If nothing unexpected happens, the end of the mystical ritual corresponds to a certain evil god.

It's really the opposite of Tiangang.

Having said that, perhaps because of the strong power of wishes gathered here, the mystical ritual nodes in Wenchang Hall are more powerful than those in the other two places.

However, this is not private property after all, and citizens cannot be prevented from entering to worship. There is no defense mechanism set up in the temple, so Wu Chang and Irene can easily enter.

Wu Chang naturally wouldn't be polite and started to anchor himself in reality after entering.

"You have successfully completed an anchor point in the real world. The current area has been anchored. Please change the area."

"Current reality anchor point: 3/3."

"Your body is contaminated by the occult, life -2, strength +2, agility +2, energy +3."

"You have completed the first job transfer task: In the real world, find at least three areas contaminated by the occult and set up anchor points in the real world."

「Do you choose to complete the mission?」

"Tip: The number of anchor points arranged in the current stage will reduce the difficulty of the job transfer tasks in the subsequent stages and will have an impact on the job transfer that is finally completed."

The system had said so much, and Wu Chang certainly did not complete the task directly, but chose to continue setting the anchor point.

Apart from anything else, at least we have to make full use of the arrangements made by Tang Renquan and others first.

When Wu Chang made the decision, Irene, who entered Wenchang Hall with him, also made some discoveries.

She looked at the occult arrangements around her and said, "I know what the person who arranged the occult ritual wants to do!"

Wu Chang's face lit up with joy. Being able to fleece Tang Renquan and destroy their plans at the same time was the perfect situation.

"What is their purpose?"

Irene said with a serious expression: "The Kingdom of God on Earth!"

"The Kingdom of God on Earth?" Wu Chang repeated these four words softly. Although he did not understand what the Kingdom of God on Earth meant, the literal meaning made people feel something was not good.

Irene said, "The Kingdom of God on Earth is a large-scale mystical ritual. Once it is successfully set up, the area covered by the ritual will become the Kingdom of God that the ritual points to. The plane barrier will become very thin, making it much easier to gain faith in the god or to get the god to bestow divine power."

"When I was still in the original world, the church had set up the Kingdom of God on earth three times. Each time it cost a huge amount of money, but the effect was also very significant."

"The first time the Kingdom of God was deployed was at the final moment of the Ogri founding war. The completed Kingdom of God allowed the attack of the Grand Mother to descend upon the world, directly clearing out the greatest enemy of the Ogri Kingdom."

"The second time we deployed the Kingdom of God on Earth was when we were defending against the attack from the neighboring empire. Thanks to the Kingdom of God on Earth, the Ogri Royal City became an indestructible city. With the support of the Holy Mother, we resisted enemies that were ten times the number of soldiers in the kingdom for a whole year, forcing the two countries to cease fire."

Irene paused, as if she realized something, and her voice wavered.

"The third time they deployed the Kingdom of God on Earth, the Church mobilized the entire nation to deploy the largest and most effective Kingdom of God on Earth. That time, they received the reward from the Grand Virgin Mary and obtained the Holy Mark."

Yes, she should have realized it long ago. The first two times the Kingdom of God on Earth was set up were for the ambitions of the church and the kingdom. How could it be possible that the third and most grand Kingdom of God on Earth was simply to welcome blessings?

From the very beginning, her appearance was the product of ambition.

Just when Irene was feeling down, Wu Chang beside her suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly:

"So, this kingdom of God on earth is really meant for me."

Irene's attention was drawn to this sentence, and she asked curiously, "Why?"

Wu Chang grabbed Irene's hand and said proudly:
"One time in the Earthly Kingdom, I was able to complete the job transfer task twice as fast as before, laying the foundation for the subsequent tasks. Another time in the Earthly Kingdom, I met you. This Earthly Kingdom may not be all bad."

Irene was stunned for a moment, and the depression on her face eased a little. "Maybe, if there was no Kingdom of God on Earth, I would not have been born, and I would not have seen this world."

Irene quickly adjusted her state, turned her attention back to the mystical ritual in front of her, and continued:

"The essence of the kingdom of God on earth is actually the synchronous cooperation between the inside and outside of the plane, allowing the gods outside the plane barrier to form an existence anchor point within the plane barrier."

"Once a reality anchor point is formed, the constraints of that reality plane on the gods will be greatly reduced, so that the gods can pass through the plane barrier and send down powerful divine power beyond what the plane barrier allows."

Wu Chang was stunned after hearing this. Reality anchoring point, isn’t this what he is doing?
His first reaction was, could it be that the Arcane Knight was aiming to obtain power beyond the plane's limits through mystical contamination from the very beginning, and then use the reality anchor point to cheat and bring this power back to reality?

No way, the Arcane Knight is going to make such a big deal?

But on second thought, old Anderson, the first generation leader of the Mystic Knights, dared to bring a group of men to gouge out the eyes of the evil god Lehman, and even wanted to use Lehman's eyes to plunder the original power of the gods.

If they can do such a thing, what else would they not dare to think of?

This is how the world is. The bold will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.

There are some things that if you don’t even dare to think about them, it will be even more impossible to get them.

Speaking of being bold, let’s talk about daring to think.

Wu Chang's second reaction was to hold Irene's hand tightly, looking at her with burning eyes, and then said:
"Tell me, can we turn this kingdom of God on earth into your kingdom of God?"

Irene: “Huh?”

After expressing his thoughts, Wu Chang felt that this plan was more promising.

Irene is also a god and possesses a complete divine body. Although she can now appear within the plane through cheating, she is actually also affected by the plane barrier of the real world.

If Irene has her own kingdom of God on earth, then can she, who is already in the plane, completely break free from the constraints of the plane barrier in the real world, or in Wanghai City?
Although they don't have the ability to build God's kingdom on earth, Tang Renquan and his men do!

If you can’t build, you can’t rob!

Now that Tang Renquan and others' kingdom on earth has not been established and their gods cannot respond, it is the best time to take action and seize it.

If they are not convinced, they can just come out and fight. With the Administration in the open and Irene in the dark, how can Tang Renquan and his gang of sewer rats really turn the tables?

Not to mention that they are unable to communicate with the gods behind them for the time being. Even if someone really shakes the gods down, Irene will reveal her true form and make sure the other party will never return.

If it's Lehman who comes, at least dig out one of his eyes!

Looking at Irene who was in a daze, Wu Chang said excitedly:
"Before the construction of the kingdom of God on earth is completed, it is equivalent to an ownerless thing. Whoever lives in the kingdom of God on earth is welcome to live there. If he, the evil god, can live there, why can't we, the righteous gods, live there?"
