Devil's Bible

Sitting on his throne, Nemus sensed the changing night, and then some kind of destiny was working wildly, deepening the connection between Nemus and the Azure Whale.

At such times, the darkening of the sky seems as if some force is unwilling to witness this scene.

As Nemus gradually calmed his breathing, the darkness in the sky slowly dissipated.

A ray of golden sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, and the sky cleared.

On Earth, it was already noon.

“Time seems to be dragging on.” The Holy Son Nemus looked up at the sky, where the sun was changing, but it was happening very slowly.

After slightly integrating with his original body, the Holy Son did some calculations and came to a conclusion.

His time slowed down considerably until the sun on the back of the Azure Whale finally caught up with him.

According to estimates, the time should be completely unified at the point of sunset.

Then the sun returned to a single point.

“In some areas, the sun is behaving abnormally…” Nemus squinted, pondering the implications of this event.

The death of the Earth God was largely due to violating the laws of nature, but another reason was very likely related to the Sun God.

"According to that paladin's understanding, during the day, all problems are concealed by the presence of the sun."

"But at night, this concealment is exposed, and all that exists feels uneasy."

"So it's very possible that the Earth God was completely defeated because of the Sun God," Nemus pondered.

Then he quietly walked across this land of calamity.

On this land of calamity, an ecosystem dominated by calamities has now formed.

Everywhere you look, there are all sorts of calamity-inducing creatures.

These calamity-inducing creatures live on this land, running rampant and hunting their own kind.

That's right, the food of calamity creatures can only be described as their own kind.

They are social creatures, yet they will turn on their own kind at crucial moments.

Therefore, their communal living atmosphere is quite unique.

They need to cultivate their own food on a daily basis.

This involves using one's own blood to infect wild animals or plants, and then consuming them when necessary, thereby continuously accumulating calamities.

If these foods are not harvested in time, they will grow into new scourge creatures.

Because of the three characteristics of Calamity, Calamity creatures are very difficult to kill, but once attacked, they may unleash an instant-kill attack.

Therefore, calamity creatures generally do not conflict with each other.

There was an extraordinary level of wariness and vigilance between them.

If one is not careful, the calamity creatures will join forces and quickly gang up on the weakest one to death, ensuring that the weakest one will not be able to retaliate effectively.

Of course, even if they retaliate, at most they'll kill one more, which will only give the remaining calamity creatures one more meal.

This is the nature of these calamity-causing creatures.

"Instinctively, they came together and became accustomed to killing each other, but various reasons also made them social creatures."

“Self-hunting, self-rejection, and self-aggregation.” Nemes carefully observed the ecology of the earth.

Most vegetation and ordinary wild animals have a much lower infection rate than the dangerous creatures on the back of the floating whale.

Because disasters have a cumulative effect.

Anything carrying any element of calamity will become food for other calamity creatures. The dangerous creature on the back of the floating whale was merely having its convergence suppressed by the floating whale.

So, while most areas of the earth appear normal, they actually harbor a number of plants and animals that are close to calamities.

They lurk in the shadows, searching for other calamity factors, waiting for the day they can transform into true calamity creatures.

What Nemus needs to do at this moment is to lower his own life force and disguise himself as an ordinary life form with no numerical values.

These ordinary individuals are generally unharmed unless they directly collide with a hidden dangerous creature.

The calamity creatures are not particularly interested in these ordinary life forms and will not actively hunt them.

With his excellent stealth and perception abilities, Nemus can ensure his safety on the ground and then explore for more rare resources.

"It's a pity that most of the resources that the Golden Seeds can use are guarded by calamity creatures." Nemus observed the distance slightly.

There is a plant in that place that seems to be glowing.

Several small red fruits on top are attracting Nemus's attention.

The knowledge I had previously gained within the Cult of the Earth God came into play at this moment.

He recognized the plant.

"Earth God Fruit".

"Alchemy can use divine medicines to create panaceas."

"Even the dead can be resurrected if they take the elixir."

“If a severed limb eats one of the fruits, it can grow back to a whole new shape.”

"If an elderly person consumes an entire plant, they can quickly regain their youth; even the golden variety can extend their life by a hundred years."

This plant is practically a legendary miracle drug, a treasure that the shallow soil on the backs of floating whales could never nurture in their entire lives.

It can only be said that the collapse of the earth has made it difficult for many special treasures to appear in human hands, to the point that humans have basically forgotten about these things over the past thousand years.

Most of the resources can only be enjoyed by these calamity creatures.

Calamity creatures primarily enhance themselves by accumulating elements of calamity.

However, this kind of vegetation, which contains a lot of energy and has special abilities, naturally possesses special properties.

With these numbers, even calamity creatures can be significantly strengthened.

Therefore, a group of calamity-causing creatures usually live around this special treasure.

When they are fully mature, an internal struggle will immediately break out.

In this situation, occasionally people from the back of the floating whales would also covet these resources.

They could only lure away these calamity-inducing creatures by sacrificing lives, and then secretly take the treasures away.

When Nemes was going through the archives of the Church of the Azure Whale, he discovered that Guilliman had done something similar decades earlier.

In order to improve their stats, they joined forces with several golden-type floating whales on their backs and ventured to the ground to acquire various rare resources.

It was on that occasion that he encountered Balthazar, a sinful spirit who had escaped from the Church of the Guardians and was wandering the earth.

"Indeed, we can't completely abandon the resources on the ground." Besides the Earth God Fruit, Nemus also found a lot of Earth Grass that could be used by the Iron Seeds.

After this herb is dried in the shade, it can be burned as a medium for breathing exercises, which can help the Iron Seed quickly accumulate power, thereby reaching the critical point in a short time and increasing the probability of becoming the Gold Seed.

This is precisely the resource that fictitious protocols are currently lacking.

The problem with this fabricated agreement is that the development time is too short, resulting in too few subordinates among the Golden Seeds. (End of Chapter)
