Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 420 Immeasurable merit
Federal, Jinhua City.

As the federal center, Jinhua City has a population of nearly 50 million and consists of the main city and nine satellite cities.

From the sky, Jinhua City looks like a giant, blooming flower.

In fact, the Golden Flower is the sacred flower of the White Eagle Cult, carrying strong religious connotations. However, most people don't care about this.

The Pentagon is located in the very center of Golden Flower City, and is also the political, military, and economic center of the Federation.

The building has a floor area of ​​nearly 20 million square meters and houses various federal central agencies.

At this moment, in the conference room on the top floor of the center, Chief of the General Staff Hillen, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Ander, and Speaker of the House of Commons Gwen are having a meeting.

The huge circular conference room was only occupied by three people, making it seem very spacious.

Hiren said solemnly, "The Eternal City is gone."

Ander and Gwen already knew the news and weren't surprised. They knew this was just the beginning, and the real event was yet to come.

Hillen had white hair and a thin build, and looked very old. But he sat upright, and his old eyes shone with a sharp light, making him appear strong despite his age.

As Chief of the General Staff, he ranks among the top ten in the federal hierarchy.

Now that Athena and Hercules are gone, the other six saints should also be gone.

However, the uncertainty surrounding these reports only fueled the unrest among those in power.

Hillen now practically holds the highest power in the Federation, and even though Ender and Gwen have their own ideas, they still need to listen to his opinions.

Hillen understood what the two were thinking, and he said directly, "According to the Alliance's information, all eight committee members are already dead."

He carefully considered his words, but ultimately used the most straightforward language to describe the fate of the eight saints.

Explaining the situation directly demonstrates his trust in the information and his firm stance.

Gwen and Ender's expressions changed slightly. Of course they knew about this news, but they weren't sure.

They were still somewhat surprised to see Hillen state it so clearly.

Hillen looked at the two and said, "Without the eight committee members, we are powerless to fight against the Alliance. Now that the Alliance wants to cooperate with us, what are your thoughts?"

Ander said with a serious expression, "The situation is still unclear, so let's be cautious."

"What's unclear? The Eternal City has become a dead land. Athena must be dead. The other committee members must be dead too."

Gwen is an old woman, but her wrinkled face still retains some of the beauty and charm she had in her youth.

She didn't want to waste time testing each other with the two men. "The alliance's willingness to cooperate with us is a valuable opportunity. We can't hesitate at this time."

"The initiative is in the alliance's hands; they have many options. We, on the other hand, only have one option. What's there to think about?"

Gwen stated directly, "The Alliance, though powerful, cannot control the Federation. They need proxies. What we need to do is maintain the stability of the Federation and ensure the stability of nuclear weapons."

“Okay, let’s talk to them first.” Hillen said, looking at Ander with a questioning look.

Ander nodded: "Ms. Gwen is right, we can't hesitate. We must hurry."

"The other side's Chief of Security, Qi Tian, ​​has arrived, accompanied by Gao Wu."

Hillen said, "I'll invite them over to discuss the cooperation."

Gwen and Ander both sneered inwardly. This old guy had colluded with the Alliance long ago, yet he was still pretending to ask questions.

The mere mention of the name "Gao Wu" sent chills down their spines. It was said that all the saints were killed by Gao Wu.

This young man, not yet twenty years old, was already an unparalleled powerhouse, whose influence far surpassed that of the other three Martial Saints in the alliance.

If the two of them had any other ideas, they probably wouldn't be able to leave the conference room alive... Gao Wu followed Qi Tian into the conference room. His gaze swept over the three high-ranking federal officials, all of whom looked old and frail.

He looks like a middle-aged man named Ender, but in reality, his life essence has been depleted, and he has reached the end of his life.

Of course, this epilogue can last for at least twenty or thirty years.

The three seventh-level bishops all seemed to have decent cultivation levels, at least their source energy was very stable.

Gao Wu could now see right through these seventh-level bishops at a glance. If he wanted, he could kill these three with a single sword strike, and they wouldn't even be able to react.

In his current state, he could kill Athena with a single blow. Let alone a few lowly seventh-level bishops…

When Gao Wu's gaze swept over Ander, Hillen, and Gwen, their hearts sank, and they instinctively felt intense fear and unease.

The three seventh-level bishops hurriedly lowered their heads and looked on with utmost respect...

The three bishops, completely under Qi Tian's control, had no bargaining power and could only agree to whatever Qi Tian said.

Gao Wu didn't care what they talked about at all. What satisfied him most was that Ander and the other two provided a list of people to be purged, which detailed the identities, addresses, beliefs, and some of their crimes.

The list consists of bishops, priests, and clergy. There's really no need to enumerate their crimes; as the heads of the high church of the evil god, none of them are good people.

Upon receiving the list, Gao Wu immediately took action. Song Mingyue remained at Jin Hua without moving. As a powerful eighth-level Martial Saint, she was needed to stay and oversee the situation.

After all, the cultists are all abnormal. If any seventh-level bishop suddenly goes mad, Song Mingyue's presence can keep the situation in check.

Indeed, some people were unwilling to accept defeat and desperately tried various secret techniques and divine arts. However, they were all easily suppressed by Song Mingyue.

Over the course of a few days, Ander and his group witnessed Song Mingyue's strength and terrifying power.

Even a seventh-level bishop couldn't withstand a single move from this aloof young woman. After several rounds of purges, the Nine-Pentagon was completely free of any discordant voices.

Gao Wu, who was constantly on the go, was extremely busy. With the current advanced information exchange, many people had already made preparations.

They either resisted with a blood sacrifice or fled far away. Gao Wu relied on his Yang God to search for powerful life auras and could observe the world using the Yin-Yang and Five Elements methods. It was difficult for life forms blessed by divine power to escape his eyes.

However, the Federation has a vast territory and a large population.

The cleanup operation took about twenty days to complete.

When Gao Wu returned to the Pentagon, Ander and the others looked at him with even more awe.

According to incomplete statistics, at least sixty seventh-level bishops have been killed by high-ranking martial artists in the past twenty days. As for other high priests and clergy, the number is countless.

The Federation had worshipped the Demon God for decades, which was how they cultivated so many seventh-level bishops and priests. Nearly 80% of them were lost in this purge.

All other religious sects suffered heavy losses, with only the Balance Cult and the Golden Cult remaining unscathed. This made these two sects the strongest in the Federation...

While Ander and his group were terrified of Gao Wu's power and ruthlessness, they were also secretly pleased, knowing that from now on, there would be no more obstacles to their control of the Federation.

After sweeping away a group of high-ranking members of the cult in the Federation, Gao Wu took Song Mingyue back to Dongzhou, leaving Hai Wuji to oversee things in the Federation.

The first thing Gao Wu said to Qin Liuhe was, "I'm almost ready, we can set off tomorrow."

Qin Liuhe nodded. He could naturally see that Gao Wu's cultivation had greatly improved during this period, and in some aspects he had already reached the ninth level.

With this massive purge of cultists in the Federation, Gao Wu must be able to make some progress again, right?
Back in his room, Gao Wu said to Song Mingyue, "I'm going to advance again!"

Song Mingyue nodded slightly.

Gao Wu smiled. He had intended to explain, but then felt it unnecessary. This time, he had reaped two hundred billion merit points, a truly bountiful harvest. It also showed that these guys from the Federation had committed countless evils, and their deaths were entirely deserved.

However, even with all the Federation's resources, this is all the merit we can accumulate. It will be difficult to improve the divine spell in the future...
