There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 616, Delicious Holy Communion
The Church of Radiance is conquering and seizing territory.

In theory, this church should have an inextricable relationship with the God of Radiance, but in reality, the relationship between the God of Radiance and His believers is very complicated.

It's not so much about faith or lack thereof, but rather it carries more of a sense of substitute literature.

There is one.

"After losing Him, I chose you."

This is such a strange feeling.

Moreover, it's not fabricated; research on the Church of the Sun and the God of Radiance is actually quite popular on the entire Tidefall player forum, and they are the focus of attention for those archaeologists among the players.

The Church of the Sun is the church that worships the God of Radiance, and now, a new Church of Radiance has emerged.

But... this series...

"It's like the dramatic family revenge dramas you watched on TV at 8 pm when you were young. In reality, there's not much in common between the two."

The only thing they have in common.

"They are all very winding."

"After He was gone, I chose you. I was the one who should have been, so why is it that your radiance shines on him!"

Something that's so difficult to describe just by looking at it.

Fortunately, the God of Radiance didn't have many such thoughts. He didn't care much about the illogical points of his church. He just kept looking at the pale sky over the decaying land and muttering to himself.

"I want to become the sun."

He looked like he had a very hard life.

Xiao Yang granted the Green World the qualification to connect to the small multiverse trading zone, which is related to the war against the Universal Alliance. On that steel continent, players found many slaves of various races.

While the Universal Union may not be doing anything particularly important, they are not so backward as to need to buy slaves to work for them, unless these slaves serve as a form of currency.

In order to trade with more of the world, the Universal Union had to accept a considerable portion of all sorts of strange equivalents, of which various kinds of extraordinary slaves accounted for a significant share.

After defeating the Universal Alliance, these slaves were readily accepted.

Xiao Yang does not accept the existence of slaves.

He habitually entrusted the placement of these guys to Wendy, and also granted her permission to freely travel to the small multiverse trading area. This facilitated the placement of these unfortunate souls in the Universal Union's containment program, but also brought about some strange phenomena.

"The Church of Radiance has begun to expand."

A simple mushroom church was built in the Lesser Heavens Trading Area, and the players became the first to be proselytized. The players were very interested in the newly appeared beautiful female priest, but not so much in proselytizing, and could even be said to be extremely resistant to it.

Until they discovered that the deity of the Church of Radiance seemed to be a familiar face.

Wendy, with a gentle smile on her face, has undergone a great change during her time clearing land in the green world. She has transformed from a cold and aloof priestess with a touch of otherworldly detachment into a gentle farmer with a headscarf and a faint smile on her face.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that gaze, which still carries a hint of aloofness.

This can be seen in the tallest building in the newly built, simple church in the Lesser Heavens Trading District.

Several players stood bewildered inside the mushroom church.

The statues in the Church of Radiance are different from those in the City of Hope, and even from Xiao Yang's statue in plane 33214.

In the City of Hope, Xiao Yang curled his lips into an inhuman expression, almost like a god, and even less than human.

In plane 33214, which is the hometown of these players, Xiao Yang also moved into the Ancestral Hall. However, in that magnificent temple hall, he followed the trend and donned Chinese armor, pointing his sword, standing with those angry-eyed ancestral masters and immortals.

Compared to a living god, well... it's hard to describe. Perhaps many years later, Xiao Yang will also have a localized title.

【The Crimson-Robed True Lord Who Subdues Demons and Assists the Saints】

That was probably when he was truly formally employed.

But now it's different. "Tall, dazzling, magnificent, expressionless, head bowed, looking down."

For these players, it was a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Not surprisingly, to some extent, on a purely religious level, the religious character of the heavens may be more solemn, cold, and mutually exclusive than that of the decaying land.

The Radiant Cult, established by Wendy, inherited this characteristic.

Dogma is not harsh.

"Diligence, kindness, courage, the pursuit of self-worth, and that glimmer of light."

"But we can only chase after that glimmer of light."

Of the three parties, only the Church of Radiance consistently placed Xiao Yang in a divine position from beginning to end.

However, trying to include players in the faith is not a very wise thing to do.

Although they were actually quite happy to join the Church of Radiance, especially after witnessing that familiar statue.

A pat on the head.

"Oh, it's someone I know! No need to be so polite!"

"I also believe in radiance!"

The Radiant Church provides free food benefits to its believers.

A type of extraordinary mushroom.

Players began using the Church of Radiance as a free dining hall.

After some time, as these guys ate and drank without restraint, the timid rabbit-man priest gradually added a limit to the number of Holy Communions he provided to the players each day.

Of course, it's not that they're not given food; it's just that these guys are required to at least have a basic prayer in church before indulging in unrestrained eating and drinking.

And then... and then the players waving their spirit coins turned the Radiant Church into the most popular food supply point in the Lesser Heavens Trading Zone.

"The church's extraordinary mushrooms are delicious!"

In every sense, things do not seem to be progressing as initially intended.

The Church of Radiant Light, a heavyweight supplier of extraordinary food, has joined the circulation of the Lesser Heavens Trading Zone.

A new faction section suddenly appeared on the Tide Game Forum, and several new faces appeared on the Most Popular Characters list.

Wendy, gentle yet not quite so gentle, with a smile on her face but a hint of aloofness in her eyes, was unexpectedly welcomed by these guys.

Specialties from that green world are also popular.

"All kinds of mushrooms."

In some ways, these mushrooms are truly quite perfect, and they have a variety of effects.

"Things that can fill you up, things that taste exceptionally good, things that enhance your defenses, things that temporarily boost your energy and activity, things that strengthen your body, things that stimulate your senses..."

All kinds of mushrooms, you name it.

Absolutely hard currency.

It's not just players who love them; cultivators from the Azure Profound Immortal Alliance and citizens of the Universal Federation have also fallen in love with these extraordinary mushrooms.

But somehow everything returned to normal.

The spread of the Church of Radiance increases by one.

This is "mushroom diplomacy".
