Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 143 Dream Cult

Salinger's figure slowly emerged from the depths of the spirit world. He did not return to the underworld immediately, for other true gods were waiting for his fate there.

This is a space temporarily created by the will of the gods, where four true gods who are clearly hostile to the dream world are plotting their schemes.

"He refused deeper cooperation," Salinger said coldly.

Even the most basic cooperation would have been rejected if He hadn't been so fast.

"Too greedy!" A will projected here expressed great indignation. "He's already taken advantage of both sides, and he still wants more?!"

"It's not that simple, but reaching a basic consensus is already an achievement."

"Then do we still need to implement the second plan?" an impatient voice asked, unwilling to listen to such nonsense.

"..."

A silence fell over the depths of the spirit realm, as none of the four true gods could make such a decision directly.

"Let's do it. We can handle the consequences," Salinger finally suggested.

"Okay," one of the voices responded softly.

……

Azik Eggers' coldness melted away, like a newborn baby, like an angel's confusion about its own state after being briefly isolated from madness, similar to Lilith's state when she was reborn.

This will also be the beginning of humanity.

Truman protected this budding humanity to prevent Salinger from discovering it upon his return. Whether the resurrection vessel would encounter problems due to the emergence of humanity was something that would be... well, that would be quite delightful.

Truman was looking forward to that time.

At one point, Truman was struck by inspiration and snapped his fingers. Azik Eggers was immediately plunged into a struggle between humanity and divinity, and momentarily lost his senses.

Truman then turned around and looked at the faint figure that was slowly emerging and being outlined in the darkness behind him.

"Have you seen Salinger?" The voice of the hidden angel had a unique gentle tranquility, like the night-blooming jasmine quietly blooming in the darkness.

"He actually came to persuade me to have my cake and eat it too? I've never heard of such a request before," Truman exclaimed.

"In their eyes, you are the biggest and most successful speculator, so it's not surprising that you made this decision," the hidden angel concluded.

"This...this is truly a miscarriage of justice!" Truman rejected this slander.

"Ha," the hidden angel responded.

"Try not to let the conflict escalate to an uncontrollable point tomorrow," the hidden angel suddenly reminded him.

"The Great Cataclysm hasn't even subsided for a few years now, and you wouldn't want to see the world go back to war."

"What do you know?" Truman's eyes narrowed slightly. "The perception of misfortune?"

"No, it's just the simplest reasoning," the Hidden Angel said softly.

"..." Truman nodded slowly. "Don't worry, I'll control the scale."

He truly did not want to see a catastrophe like the Great Cataclysm happen again. In his mind, even the conflict between the Alliance of Gods and the Solomon Empire would take hundreds of years to gradually accumulate.

"Hmm!" The hidden angel nodded gently, then its form was gently erased by an eraser and disappeared.

"Let's go." Truman gently patted Azik Eggers' shoulder to wake him up, and they continued their tour of the Byron Palace.

Not long after, Truman returned to the castle where Solomon's mission was staying.

"They probably won't attack me directly; that would only make things spiral out of control."

A full-scale war is unacceptable to all the gods. The primary task of the major churches and the two great empires is still missionary work and to gain more "anchors," which directly affects their own state.

"At what level will they take action?"

Time passed, and the day of Byron's founding arrived. Truman washed up and prepared to set off.

Around this time, an oracle from the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" fell into the hands of an angel in his church.

"By God!" This is a Sequence Two Cherubim, known as the "Angel of Knowledge" in the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

This is a very special title, because the title of the Pope is actually "Angel of Wisdom".

To some extent, these two angels are equal: "Wisdom" controls church affairs, while "Knowledge" controls the transmission of church knowledge.

These two are the two most powerful angels under the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" today, and both are favored by God.

This "angel of knowledge" thanked the gods for their gift, and only after deeply understanding the oracle did she stand up from the ground and pick up the true divine artifact—the "crown of omniscience"—from the table beside her.

This is a pure white crown adorned with various gems, crafted from the "Insightful" trait of the "White Tower" pathway, Sequence 3.

However, it possesses the blessing of the "god of knowledge and wisdom," and the power to see through all the mysteries of knowledge.

The "Angel of Knowledge" placed the crown on her head, thanked the gods once more for their gift, and then used the secret technique "Teleportation" to arrive at a city in the Solomon Empire.

"The Dream Cult." The "Angel of Knowledge" had a clear objective and immediately located the Dream Cult headquarters in the city.

The Dream Cult stands out among all churches and secret organizations. They are not a church, they do not have a strict church system, and they even truly call themselves believers because of their faith and priests because of their piety.

This is an incredible thing in a world where gods truly exist, and even where deities walk on the earth.

Strangely, this peculiar sect has not been suppressed by major churches, and in general, churches have ignored its not-so-outrageous missionary activities.

"The 'Dream' pathway..." The "Angel of Knowledge" looked at the priests in the Dream Cult with confusion.

They were ordinary people who became priests because of their piety.

To those who possess sufficient knowledge, these individuals appear as conspicuous as colorful brushstrokes on a white robe.

Because of their piety, these priests were granted extraordinary powers by the "Supreme Dream" they believed in, thus becoming extraordinary beings.

These extraordinary individuals from the "Gifts" system appear mysterious and out of place from the perspective of the potion system.

The "Angel of Knowledge" was one of the first to discover this system and developed an irresistible curiosity about it. However, before He could get close enough to study the system, He was stopped by the God He believed in.

The "god of knowledge and wisdom" forbade them to explore this extraordinary system, as it involved far too much.

However, the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" has finally sent down a divine decree, even bestowing upon Him the "Crown of Omniscience," allowing Him to come here.

"I need to find someone who has gone far enough on the 'Dream Path'."

The "Angel of Knowledge's" eyes turned brass-colored, flashing rapidly with light as it surveyed the city's dream followers.
