Devil's Bible

Chapter 390 The Sacred Number is Nine
What does it feel like for the mole to successfully take over and become the top local official?

There's only one word to describe Nems—awesome!

While Galis is still alive, her power is temporarily under strong supervision, but the church's various secret treasuries have been opened to Nemus.

This includes information about the Azure Whale.

The blue-sky whale was among the first group of floating whales to be bred.

It originated from the Primal Whale about a thousand years ago, and its theoretical lifespan is about two thousand years.

Of course, based on the annual physical examinations, the blue-eyed whale is clearly in a state of 'sub-health', and its theoretical lifespan is estimated to be only 70% of its original lifespan, which is about 1,400 years.

Furthermore, this theoretical lifespan will decrease more and more rapidly over time.

The reason is known to everyone.

Upon seeing this, Nems immediately frowned.

"It's down to only 70%, and every hundred years, that 70% multiplier will decrease." Nems's words carried a hint of anger.

This is his floating whale!
These people are so ungrateful for the environment and for the floating whales that nurture and sustain them; they are truly guilty!
Jiali nodded to the side.

She was a high-ranking member of the land-grabbing faction, and even one of the few leaders.

The most important point for land grabbers is to protect their own land.

The fact that Nemes was able to get angry when he saw this information shows that he was aligned with the enclosureists.

This time, Guilliman was punished and banished for failing to discover the Twin Demons' scheme.

However, in that kind of battlefield, as long as he can persevere, his stats can improve exceptionally quickly.

The Son of God he provided for the church has now truly taken on some of the features of the Son of God, which can be considered a meritorious service to the church.

Later, I might be able to use some of my power to ensure Killieman's safety there.

Once Nemus grows up, the church may truly have another top-tier fighter who is no less than a saint.

At that time, this southern region might be able to stabilize somewhat.

The joy on Jialisi's face flashed briefly and quickly disappeared.

The overall situation in the entire prime material plane is not good at the moment.

The Discipline Church was originally quite good, but more than a hundred years ago, the God of Discipline sent a secret decree to the Pope.

Significant changes occurred within the Discipline Church, which began to plan for war.

Four years ago, the Discipline Church dispatched a small number of its top experts into the Abyss to lay out plans, and then launched a war against the Abyss.

As a result, the God of Discipline is now in a deep slumber, with only some instinctive responses belonging to the gods remaining.

Meanwhile, other orthodox churches and evil gods have now ascertained the situation of the God of Commandments and are gradually approaching him, preparing to take action.

The Discipline Church is under too much pressure right now and needs more top-tier combat power to gradually stabilize the situation.

Naims flipped through the various detailed records in the Azure Whale's Secret Treasury.

Meanwhile, Garice would occasionally explain some of the coded messages in the secret text to Nemus.

This is why Galis remained here after her official appointment was announced.

These church scriptures mostly contain cryptic language. Without expert guidance to understand them, it is highly likely that misunderstandings will occur, leading to some embarrassing situations.

For example, it was a laughing stock from three hundred years ago, and it remains a laughing stock to this day.

The most foolish cult leader—the leader of the Mountain Bishop, the Lord of the Earth Mountain.

The instigator infiltrated the headquarters of a church and stole a secret document. However, after deciphering numerous layers of intrigue, they finally extracted a single sentence from the document: "What God cannot do, He can only mold from clay."

Therefore, this leader believed that God had a huge flaw, namely that God's idol was made of clay. So he used all means and resources to finally cultivate a golden seed pastor who was an expert in summoning for the church.

Then he prompted the other party to cast a divine descent.

The most foolish cult leader, upon seeing the divine descent, burst into laughter, saying that he had secretly turned the statue that carried the divine descent into a clay sculpture.

The god who has descended is now trapped inside the clay sculpture and cannot escape, so I can immediately seize the god's power.

The result is therefore obvious.

The opponent was crushed to death by a single thought of the divine incarnation that had descended from the heavens.

The true meaning of the phrase, "What God could not do, He made of clay," is that God cannot easily move in the material plane, and therefore needs to use clay.

The Lord of the Earth Mountain had actually gotten something that was common knowledge to many cultivators wrong.

Then, they invested so much energy and resources in this, and even trained a summoning master for the church, all for the purpose of making God laugh.

It must be said that he succeeded; the god who descended that day was all smiles.

The Lord of the Earth Mountain naturally earned the title of the most foolish.

At this point, Nemus also came into contact with various secrets related to the gods that he had been longing for.

These secrets are essential for a local commander.

Without this knowledge, the Grand Master, unaware of these matters, could very well endanger the floating whale and the millions of lives on its back in the face of various emergencies.

For example, if a floating whale flies for a long time, it may encounter a special kind of calamity creature—the terror cloud.

It is essentially an extremely tiny insect.

They are conceived on the earth and then drift in the sky, turning into a normal cloud.

If the floating whale fails to recognize its opponent at this moment, it will enter the terrifying cloud.

Then all sorts of strange things will happen on the whale's back—false miracles.

The most terrifying aspect of the Terror Clouds is their ability to disguise themselves; they are so tiny that they can infiltrate the grid and then send messages to the priests along the grid.

In these messages, the terror cloud will claim to be a god, thus prompting people to worship it.

Because the information is transmitted through the grid, and because there are indeed related miracles—the terrifying cloud outside can fake and simulate phenomena similar to miracles, such as sudden changes in the sky, lightning strikes, and world tremors.

As a result, many Ironborn priests are deceived.

Some gold-tier paladins are unable to directly determine the authenticity of the grid because they have difficulty interfering with it.

Therefore, at this time, a deeper understanding of God is needed to make a judgment.

【The number of the precepts is nine, nine is a sacred number.】 Looking at the divine secrets that Galis had deciphered under her guidance, even if it was just this one sentence, Nemus knew that his hard work infiltrating the church and disguising himself for so long had been worthwhile.

As Nemus came to realize this, the number of divine beings within the True Spirit changed.

Just like when I realized that fate was in control and driving things, which led to my first maxim about fate.

Now Nemus will also receive his second motto of destiny.

[When the number reaches nine, all things acquire their structure, which is called discipline, governing change...] — Tablet of Destiny

“Incomplete…” Nemus thought for a moment, but he was not surprised, after all, he had only obtained one-fifth of the divine essence.

No, it should be one-fifth of a nine.
