Chapter 817 The Birth of a God
Fei Yunlai's alternate body did not travel to outer space with the transport fleet. After leaving Luojing City, he directly brought the guardian demon to the starport, to the 'Holy Cathedral of Light' located at the intersection of the starport's trade zone and financial zone.

Due to the special relationship between the gods and the Eastern Abyss, the Church of Light was able to expand its faith unscrupulously throughout the Eastern Continent, and even planned to invest huge sums of money to build a magnificent cathedral in the heart of the city of Luojing.

They had already bought more than 1000 acres of land only twelve miles from the palace. However, the Grand Astrologer of the Eastern Continent couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly stopped them. It is said that after discussing with their gods, the land was moved to Xinggang, and 5,000 acres of prime land in Xinggang were allocated to the Church of Light.

Therefore, this 'Cathedral of Holy Light' covers a very large area, and the interior of the cathedral consists of more than seventy majestic main and auxiliary buildings. The overall architectural style is simple and solemn, yet it incorporates some modern elements.

The main hall, covering an area of ​​200 acres, is particularly magnificent. Its nine-tiered glazed dome blooms like a lotus, and its gilded eaves pierce through the clouds. The sacred thunder and fire between the green tiles and flying eaves complement the yin-yang pattern. It incorporates the soaring momentum of Gothic spires and the solemn grandeur of the symmetrical balance of ancient East Asian palaces. Its sacred and magnificent aura is as if it were a road to heaven built by gods and men.

Within the Church of Light, this temple holds a position second only to the headquarters of the underground farm.

As Fei Yunlai walked forward, he faintly heard hymns coming from the side.

"—The holy thunder shines brightly, the calamity fires blaze, pity us mortals, for we have many worries."

Fei Yunlai was used to hearing this, but the singing that came from behind made him stop.

"With the hum of the machinery, all things return to their source; gears forge the way, precision ensures perpetual prosperity—"

"Wings of ten thousand machines bear the mandate of heaven, divine machines are born to protect the light, iron bones and mechanical hearts communicate with the enlightened ruler, and a torrent of steel suppresses the mortal world."

Has this hymn of light changed again?

Fei Yunlai called out to a passing high priest: "Brother, what's the deal with this hymn?"

The high priest looked at Fei Yunlai suspiciously, but when he saw the Forest Company's two-star marshal uniform on Fei Yunlai's body and the 'Divine Emblem of Light' on Fei Yunlai's chest, his expression immediately turned serious.

At this time, the activities of the Forest Alien Company under the Lord of Light were almost public. With the protection of the Abyss of Heaven, the Alien Walkers of the Forest Company could conduct public activities on Celestial Star without any problems.

As long as they don't do anything particularly reckless, like crossing the line between the Five Abysses and the Three Gods of Purgatory, or provoking those reckless outlaws in the martial arts world, their personal safety can be guaranteed.

Therefore, the high priest recognized Fei Yunlai's uniform, but what he respected even more was the badge on Fei Yunlai's chest, which consisted of twelve pairs of starry wings and a golden sun crown.

That is a divine emblem that only priests of the 'Three Pillars, Five Envoys, and Seven Kings' level can wear, and it holds a position in the religion second only to the Grand Master of Heaven and the Junior Master of Heaven.

"Your Excellency, a month ago, the Grand Master issued a divine decree that the angel 'God of All Machines' under the Lord of Light is about to be born. We are instructed to strengthen our chanting and visualization of 'God of All Machines' in the coming months."

The high priest looked strange: "He also bestowed a visualization diagram for believers to memorize. If they can memorize this hymn, they can be rewarded with a basket of steamed buns. If they can draw a rough outline of the visualization diagram, they can be rewarded with an ounce of magic silver."

Fei Yunlai's lips twitched. After bowing to the high priest to express his gratitude, he continued walking towards the central area of ​​the Great Cathedral of Light.

However, as he passed a prayer room, he glanced at the visualization of the god of all machines and found that it should be the spirit form of the god of all machines, and its shape was very strange.

After taking the photo, Fei Yunlai searched online using graphics and found that the spirit form of this God of Myriad Machines looked very much like Unicron from the early Transformers series of the Earth Federation.

Fei Yunlai clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking to himself, "The god is really quite casual. Is this how it was drawn?"

However, the runes on the surface of the spirit form of the God of Myriad Machines must have been carefully crafted by the god, giving one a sense of unparalleled precision and indestructibility at a glance.

Fei Yunlai then noticed that the guardian demon beside him was frowning slightly, deep in thought.

He looked over curiously: "What's wrong?"

“The last part of the hymn just now,” Qi Lingwei raised her finger and pointed ahead, using a secret technique to cover her voice: “Roots run through the earth and connect to the stars, origins trace back to antiquity to prove eternity, in the beginning of chaos, one law was inherited, the long river of time is hidden in the palm; the golden wheel crushes three thousand worlds, holy flames melt and forge the framework of all things, the vast heavenly law shines throughout the universe, wherever the light reaches, that is my territory.”

She touched the Holy Ring of Light on her hand: "When this hymn came just now, this ring on my hand was getting warm."

The 'Ethereal' Holy Ring in Qi Lingwei's hand.

This is a pseudo-Abyssal artifact bestowed by the Lord of Light, and the 'Ethereal' technique is an incomplete concept.

Qi Lingwei had specifically checked, but the concept's strength only reached a maximum of 83%. Since no martial artist had relied on this method to advance to Divine Illumination and Longevity in the past three thousand years, and no one had represented this concept in the world, its strength continued to decline.

Therefore, Qi Lingwei couldn't understand how the Lord of Light had forged this pseudo-Abyss artifact. There was no source material or source core containing the ethereal law in the present world.

Fei Yunlai seemed to be thinking about what he heard. He felt that the hymn was hinting at something, but it didn't sound unusual.

After the BOSS initially grasped the cult, he began to modify the doctrine in the direction of a creator god who believed that "all things return to oneness and one begets all things."

"Don't say this to others."

Although Fei Yunlai couldn't understand it, he still gave Qi Lingwei instructions with utmost care.

About fifty breaths later, Fei Yunlai and Qi Lingwei stepped into the octagonal dome in the center of the cathedral.

The building is more than 20 stories high and covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres. Its exterior walls are inlaid with frosted metal and translucent marble, which gleam with a warm silver-gray color under the sunlight.

When Fei Yunlai pushed open the seven-meter-high gilded gate, he saw a vast emptiness under the dome that was tens of meters high. The central inverted octagonal skylight stretched straight to the sky and was made of diamond-shaped tempered glass. Sunlight filtered through the glass and cast a regular matrix of light spots on the ground, like a transparent ark floating in a sea of ​​stars.

In the shadows at the four corners of the hall, eight gilded altars surrounded the moon like stars around the stars. The altars were about ten feet tall, and their surfaces were engraved with runes of light that were not yet fully lit. The gilded patterns flowed with subtle holy marks under the sunlight.

These brand-new 'glorious altars' are not yet in use, but they already exude a solemn divine aura in silence, as if they might burst forth with boundless glory at any moment in the form of a divine decree.

At this moment, Ji Xueying, the Grand Astrologer of both the Church of Light and the Church of Light, stood below the courtyard, looking at the sky above.

Fei Yunlai walked up behind Ji Xueying, gazing curiously at the sky: "Is the Divine Master observing the stars? Are there any changes in the celestial phenomena today?"

Ji Xueying turned her head and glared at Fei Yunlai behind her with eyes as sharp as knives.

As the Grand Astrologer of the Lord of Light, she was not good at stargazing. Although she had been cramming on stargazing for three years, some people in the sect still gossiped in private, saying that her stargazing skills were still as bad as a pile of shit. This was something that she had always been bothered by and felt ashamed about.

This Fei Yunlai, he just keeps bringing up the very things that shouldn't be brought up.

Ji Xueying remembered the information she had about Fei Yunlai secretly going to private clubs with Qi Lingwei without his wife's knowledge, and how he was having an affair with those two young lovers. She thought she had to send this information to Yu Feicui tonight.

With the financial support of the gods, this guy's cultivation and bloodline abilities have grown stronger day by day. He even mastered the 8SSS-level secret technique 'Appearing and Appearing Unpredictably', which allowed him to deceive Yu Feicui, the deputy director of intelligence at Ruifang Pharmaceutical.

If one of the two women hadn't become a believer in the Lord of Light, Ji Xueying wouldn't have known that this supernatural supervisor, under the constant supervision of Qi Lingwei and Yu Feicui, actually possessed such abilities.

"For some reason, the major abysses within the sky are behaving unusually violently today."

Unfortunately, Ji Xueying's star-gazing skills were only half-baked, and she couldn't understand the reason for this strange phenomenon.

Ji Xueying put her hands behind her back and still looked up at the sky: "You came to find me, did you find out the truth?" "Yes!" Fei Yunlai's expression turned slightly serious and he bowed and replied: "Ling Wei confirmed with the secret technique bestowed by the gods that he is indeed in Luojing City, hiding in the divine palace in the Eastern Abyss. Commander Lin has also sensed it from afar, so it is undoubtedly true."

As he bowed, Ji Xueying's personal smart terminal received a communication request. When she agreed to connect, a handsome figure wearing a Federation four-star marshal's uniform immediately appeared beside her.

That was none other than Lin Tianchen, the commander of the Second Fleet of the Earth Federation.

As Ji Xueying's divine status became the Abyss of Heaven and the Ruler of Light, the Earth Federation gradually abandoned its plans to build second-tier colonies and preserve the seeds of civilization, and began to significantly increase its investment in Tianji Star.

The Federation's Star Navy also benefited as a result, with all eight fleet groups expanding to corps of 3000 warships.

"Lord Divine Master!" Lin Tianchen bowed slightly to Ji Xueying: "I sensed from afar that the remnant spirit of the abyss is indeed in Luojing City."

"As expected!" Ji Xueying's expression brightened upon hearing this, and she nodded to the two of them: "You two have worked hard! This information is of great importance to the God."

Her god and Lin Tianchen have been searching for the whereabouts of the Celestial Venerable of Separation and Union.

Almost every half month, the deity would use his divine sense to search the heavens and earth for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Venerable of Separation and Union.

However, this remnant spirit of the abyss possessed an extremely sensitive divine sense that could both gather and disperse, which is why the gods were unable to track him down even after three years.

This time, it was Lin Tianchen who first found the traces of Lihe. Then, Fei Yunlai and Qi Lingwei took advantage of escorting the medicine to enter the inner palace of the shrine. They used a secret method bestowed by the gods to sense the spirit of the Lihe Heavenly Venerable and search for the spiritual energy of this remnant spirit of the abyss.

Lin Rui himself could actually enter and leave the Divine Palace at will, but the problem is that every time he enters or leaves, the Eastern Abyss will monitor and sense him with its powerful divine sense.

Lin Rui didn't want to use his divine sense to sweep the area under the nose of the Eastern Abyss, and he was also worried about scaring away the Heavenly Venerable of Separation and Union, so he asked Fei Yun to do it for him.

Feeling it wasn't safe enough, they had Fei Yunlai carry a magical artifact with him, which could help Lin Tianchen remotely sense and confirm the location of the remnant spirit of the Separation and Union Celestial Venerable.

"I dare not accept such praise!" Lin Tianchen smiled wryly: "This time, that divine monster stayed in the divine palace of the Eastern Abyss for nearly a month before I was able to find its trace."

His gaze immediately hardened: "I wonder what that divine fiend intends to do by lingering here? And what is the purpose of the Eastern Abyss?"

And what should they do next?
In Lin Tianchen's eyes, a flame called 'ambition' shone through.

The Lord of Light has already spoken with him; the Lord of Light will definitely take away the source essence and source core of the Celestial Venerable of Separation and Union.

Lin Tianchen didn't dare to take it either. He knew his own limitations and knew that he couldn't resist the corruption and contamination of the Heavenly Venerable of Separation and Union.

However, the Lord of Light will not encroach on this path. He will leave the method of separation and union empty, allowing Lin Tianchen to gradually imprint this concept into the source. This is also the safest path.

"What other purpose could He have?" Ji Xueying smiled sarcastically.

This being from the Eastern Abyss risked offending the gods and going to war with them to protect the Celestial Venerable of Separation and Union, and to get involved with this divine scourge, naturally in order to use the Celestial Venerable of Separation and Union's method of separation to prevent the Supreme Celestial Venerable's true spirit from reuniting.

This is also how the Eastern Abyss obscures the perception of the gods.

The closer the 'Truth' of the Eastern Abyss gets to the divine level, the more intense the conflict between Him and the Supreme Celestial Venerable will be. Logically speaking, at that time, the entire world will be disturbed by the etheric tide within the celestial canopy.

Ji Xueying looked up again in the direction of Luojing, feeling as if it were shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see what was going on.

In the present city of Luojing, besides the Celestial Venerable of Separation and Union, there is also the Dream Saintess Meng Li, Cheng Zaotian and Zhen Hao, as well as the eyes and ears of the gods, making the situation truly intricate and complex.

I wonder how her god will deal with this next?

At this moment, Lin Rui had already flown away from the core laboratory and was sending a message to Sima Lin: Teacher, how is the situation on your end?

Sima Lin looked at the word 'teacher' and felt a surge of emotion. He then replied: "It was completed half a month ago. We have actually been delaying it, wanting to further study the wonders of this Abyss's physical body."

Lin Rui: The situation has changed. You need to deliver immediately and then evacuate according to the pre-arranged plan. Go directly to the Great Cathedral of Light in Star Harbor. Xueying will meet you.

It's unlikely that the Eastern Abyss will intercept this group of academicians, since the final step of the 'unity of spirit and flesh' refinement still requires Lin Rui's personal intervention.

However, Lin Rui still had to take precautions, just in case.

At this moment, Lin Rui had already arrived on his flagship, the 'Brilliant'. At the ship's door, the fourteen Hearts of Light, led by 'Number 9', had all taken their positions as ordered by him.

Standing beside them were Wang Yinyue, Skeleton Lord Li Guchan, and Tan Shenzhi, whose icy blue electronic eyes gleamed: "Your Highness, is this operation for the God of Myriad Machines?"

Otherwise, why would we need to summon him here?

With the power Lin Rui currently wields, there's absolutely no need for researchers like them to work within Tianji Star, unless they're fighting against the gods.

"The target is indeed that God of Myriad Machines." Lin Rui smiled and walked towards the bridge: "You all need to be prepared."

The mechanical heart that spoke of consciousness suddenly swelled.

He subconsciously wanted to ask Lin Rui how to deal with the gods, but then swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The reason Lin Rui has hesitated to let him replace the God of Myriad Machines is because he is wary of the other gods.

The gods could not prevent the rebirth of the God of Myriad Machines, nor could they prevent Lin Rui from taking control of the Temple of the Machine God.

However, they can use methods to weaken the God of Machines' state and power after his rebirth.

If the newly born God of Myriad Machines is weaker than the Quasi-Abyss, then it will be meaningless to this Lord of Light.

However, since this person chose to make a move at this time, they must have been absolutely certain of success.

Tan Shenzhi also noticed that Lin Rui had just said "you".

He glanced sideways at Wang Yinyue and Li Guchan behind him, but didn't pay them much attention.

Tan Shenzhi knew what the two men were thinking, but he never took them seriously.

Wang Yinyue exchanged a glance with Li Guchan, the Skeleton Heavenly Lord, their eyes also surging with intense emotions.

—Is the day of the birth of the God of All Machines finally here?
