A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 254 The Old Boundary, The New Collective Mission
The crimson light spread and then receded, and Chu Zihang, Chen Motong, and the other members once again arrived above the familiar gray mist.

Chu Zihang and Fingel immediately looked across at the right side of the bronze table, where the seats still only went up to Susie, with no new people joining.

The two couldn't help but feel a little strange. Wasn't it said that Mr. Error had invited the King of Earth and Mountains, Xia Mi, to join the church?
Why don’t I see anyone?

Unaware of their curiosity about gossip, Bao Lie first explained the Heavenly Venerable's oracle: "I know that deep down, everyone has some doubts about the Heavenly Venerable's oracle."

"This is because you all lack understanding of the past."

At this point, Chu Zihang and Fingel stopped paying attention to Mr. Error's gossip and focused on listening to the secrets of the old days!

After all, their church is named after the old days, so who wouldn't be curious about the old days?

Borg was very satisfied with everyone's attentive listening attitude, and secretly felt pleased: "As you have seen this time, the 'Old Ones' can respond to prayers and issue divine pronouncements throughout the universe."

With just this one sentence, he successfully revived the old reputation, making everyone tremble with awe at the power of the past!
The entire universe—what does that mean? It means faster than the speed of light!
From a scientific perspective, believers praying to the past is equivalent to sending a message to the vast universe.

How can ordinary scientific methods accurately locate the recipient of information transmission in the vast universe? And how can they possibly exceed the speed of light?
And now? According to Mr. Fool, the ancients can respond to the believers' prayers throughout the universe, ignoring the distance between them and the vastness of the universe.

What a powerful and awe-inspiring method this is!
With just one sentence, the members were shocked to realize the power, mystery, and even terror of the ancient gods!
Moreover, Borg still describes the power of the Old Ones: "The Old Ones can exert their influence on the entire universe."

"For example, the old 'destructive natural disasters' could reduce or increase the frequency of disasters throughout the universe, or create disasters out of thin air in any place in the universe that one knows about."

That's what they say, but Bao Lie didn't explain that in the real battles of the old days, the impact could only be on a range of about one star system at most.

Let the members continue to respect the past; there's no need to spell things out.

"To exert influence on the entire universe..." Chu Zihang imagined the realm of the past, and just as he had predicted, the ancients were ridiculously powerful!
What is the concept of the entire universe? If he possessed similar power, crushing Odin and rescuing his father would be a piece of cake, right?
Fingel was also deeply terrified by the horrors of the past: could disasters be unleashed anywhere in the universe? Could they even increase or decrease the number of disasters throughout the entire universe? It was terrifying! Was this what a god was?
Susie stole a glance at Mr. Fool, marveling at the church's high priest's erudition and kindness, for being willing to share such a high-level secret with everyone.

The one who is most afraid is Chen Motong, because her influence on the clone Chen Liyu led to the Tianzun Temple being offended!
According to Mr. Fool, given how terrifying things were back then, could she suddenly die in an accident one day?!
For example, what if he were in Tianjin and suddenly died in a major disaster? This frightened Chen Motong so much that he forgot everything, asked the wrong person, or Fingel helped to divine his mother's whereabouts.

Nuwa felt completely at ease, as she only knew that the ancients were very strong, but had no idea exactly how strong they were.

Now that I hear this, the ancient gods who can cause trouble anywhere in the universe are far more powerful than the so-called Black King. As long as we hold on to the coattails of the ancient church, we have nothing to worry about even if the Black King returns!
Seeing their reactions, Paul reiterated the core of the doctrine: "This is our guide and our Savior, the great God of the Old Days."

"After we have completely resolved the apocalyptic crisis related to dragons on our home planet, we will inevitably embark on a journey to follow the path of the past and explore the stars."

Upon hearing this, apart from Xu Lie secretly chuckling under the cover of the gray fog, all the other members felt a tremendous sense of mission!
Very good, everything is pretty much as the original body predicted.

Bao Lie surveyed the entire scene, explaining that the entire process, from the initial divine oracle to the core doctrines, had been planned to lead into this mission: "Since the world-ending crisis has been mentioned..."

"I think I should also tell you that some of you may already know this, while others may not."

"The progenitor of the dragons, Nidhogg, the Black King, formed from the power left behind by the ancients, will return sooner or later to burn and destroy the entire world."

"For this purpose, I need your cooperation to create a sufficiently 'realistic' Black King resurrection incubation site."

"Every time a hybrid believes in the fake hatchery, it creates a small ripple in the river of fate."

"As long as there are enough waves of fate, I can see the corresponding changes in the Black King's fate, and thus find its source, that is, find the specific location of the Black King's true incubation ground."

"This is a team task, and I will award different contribution points based on each person's performance."

"And Mr. Error, your task is to assist me in observing the River of Fate, not to participate in the task of forging the incubator."

The members didn't understand the question, but they were deeply shocked.

Let alone a novice like Nuwa, even those with extensive knowledge of mysticism like Fingel and Erii are quite unfamiliar with the so-called River of Destiny and the waves of fate.

I have absolutely no idea what these are.

But just hearing the name, you know it's an extremely mysterious entity, something they can't get involved with for the time being.

However, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Lie again. Mr. Error was now actually able to assist Mr. Fool in observing fate?

Mr. Error is becoming increasingly mysterious and unpredictable; just how far has he gone?
Xu Lie spoke up appropriately: "Following your will, Mr. Fool," thus leading all the members to accept the mission.

Erii was especially delighted and had already started thinking about how to sneak out of the house. She really wanted to go out and play with everyone.

It's just a little regrettable that Xu Jun couldn't be with them.

Bao Lie nodded happily and leaned back: "You can talk freely now."

At this point, Chu Zihang secretly glanced at Xu Lie out of the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything. It was Fingel who came to the rescue and asked the question Chu Zihang wanted to ask: "Mr. Error, why haven't we seen Junior Sister Xia Mi?"

Chu Zihang felt very gratified.

“You should be able to see her during this group mission.” Xu Lie had a feeling that Fingel wanted to wear his monocle again.

Xia Mi? Asou Makoto and Erii, who were still unaware of the situation, cast curious glances at her. Who was Xia Mi, the junior sister? Was she also a member of the church?

Fingel began to introduce the two, and Asou was a little surprised, never expecting that the legendary Queen of the Earth and Mountains would actually be a girl.

Thinking of this, Masato secretly glanced at Xu Lie. How did Xu Jun invite this Dragon King Xia Mi to join the church? It should be similar to how he invited her back then, right?

Or...or did they use some other method? Could it be something like using a handsome man to seduce someone?

Erii was curious about Natsumi. Since childhood, she had been called a little monster by Tachibana Masamune and the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Was this Dragon King Natsumi also a little monster?
If so, given how similar she and Xia Mi are, wouldn't they be a good match to be friends?

"Everyone." After chatting about gossip, Chen Motong started to get down to business. Everyone at the gathering was someone she trusted, so she didn't hide anything and told the whole story about the Chen family.

The information, including cloning, the Friga gene, the Chen family and the Gattuso family's objectives, and Odin's involvement behind the Holy Palace Medical Association, immediately made Chu Zihang and Fingel clench their fists.

Susie didn't hate Odin as much as they did, so she had the energy to notice the bewilderment of Asou Makoto and Erii when they heard certain things.

They promptly provided further explanations, working with Chen Motong to give a detailed account of the battle in the capital, ensuring that Asou Makoto and Erii fully understood the causes and consequences of this chaotic conflict.

Midway through, Nuwa also raised her hand and joined the conversation, sharing some scandals about the Chen family's cloning base, and revealing that she had found complete cloning technology data and the so-called Frija gene.

As Chen Motong said, the cloning base only had this much information and couldn't find any other intelligence.

Finally, Chen Motong looked at Bao Lie with some worry: "Mr. Fool, I... I would like to ask, if I make amends in this way, will I be able to obtain the Heavenly Venerable's forgiveness?"

Even her best friend Susie had never seen Chen Motong so timid before.

Ignoring the obstruction of the gray fog, Bao Lie saw the lingering fear on Chen Motong's face and was in a good mood. He hadn't expected to scare Chen Motong like this.

Alright, let's not scare this audience member into losing control, that would be bad: "This is a one-time thing, don't do it again."

"Phew!" After hearing Mr. Fool's words with his own ears, Chen Motong finally felt relieved and could breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes, praise Mr. Fool, praise the Heavenly Venerable of Blessing and Prosperity."

She will definitely behave well in the future and make more contributions to the old church! Thank you, Mr. Fool and the Heavenly Venerable, for your forgiveness!
She won't act so recklessly again. Controlling others' actions must be like writing a script; she must have complete control and not let them do as they please. She has learned this lesson.

After Chen Motong's matter was settled, Su Xi was very curious about Xu Lie, who had shone brightly in this battle: "Um, Mr. Mistake."

"May I ask what level you've advanced to? Your methods in this battle against Lu Mingfei were particularly mysterious."

"Oh, of course, if it involves privacy, you don't have to say it."

At that time, Chu Zihang and the others thought to themselves that a day apart felt like three autumns. After the Three Gorges mission, they never expected that Mr. Error had completely surpassed them, becoming so strong that they couldn't understand him at all.

Now, in the second collective mission of the Old Church, Mr. Error has transcended their level and is now going to assist Mr. Fool.

This only fueled everyone's curiosity about Xu Lie's current strength.

Xu Lie hadn't expected that he was involved. After thinking for less than two seconds, he chose to confess: "I was lucky enough to advance to Sequence 3."
