(Also, the recent chapters are indeed a bit disjointed, and I’m already working on it. If you have any questions, you can directly raise them and I’ll correct them. What I’m afraid of is that you will remove the book from the bookshelf without saying anything. This is what I’m most afraid of. In addition, I think there’s nothing wrong with the protagonist’s combat power setting, because without this ability, you can’t get involved in many things. After all, this book is not just a simple anime, it also has an infinite flow.)

(In addition, I would like to answer a question that everyone is concerned about. Previously, it was said that the legends were the strongest in the world, but now there are so many half-step gods. Will the combat power collapse? In fact, there is no need to worry about this, because the limitation is there. As long as the protagonist does not have the combat power of the god realm, then the world will not give birth to enemies in the god realm. Even if there are, there will be arrangements to kill them in the plot, just like the god realm behemoths in the secret realm. It can be said that the half-step gods in the entire world are not as many as the saints in Magic Index, and there will not be a situation where there are too many half-step gods. This large gathering can be understood as going through the system plot. Well, 4496 words, in order to avoid you charging extra fees, this chat ends here.)

Chapter 248: Pressure Comes to the Church Again

With Li Jianxian's reminder, order was restored at the scene, and everyone looked at Rhine eagerly, hoping that he would say that "but".

After everyone quieted down, Rhine continued, "Although the guardian beast is at the peak of the Divine Realm, after being sealed for tens of thousands of years, only one tenth of its blood and energy remain. Now it is at most at the initial stage of the Divine Realm. If it weren't for the Fountain of Life, it would have been worn out by the erosion of time."

"President Wiseman, are you sure? This is not a joke." Li Jianxian asked seriously.

If it was just the initial stage of the Divine Realm, then they might not be without hope. What they were afraid of now was that after the seal was lifted, they would find that it was still at the peak of the Divine Realm, and then they would probably all have to stay here.

“If I wasn’t sure, why would I gather you all here? You should know that with the combat power of the peak God Realm, even if all the Half-Step God Realm in the world gathered together, they would not be able to defeat you.”

"It's because I think there's hope of taking him down at the initial stage of the Divine Realm that I called you here to give it a try." Rhine replied.

"President Wiseman, can you tell us the location of the sealed Fountain of Life?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, it's in the underground space of the central tower." Rhine answered readily.

“President Weiseman, you speak so readily, are you planning to trick me again? For example, trick us into the underground space you mentioned, and then use the defense system of the secret realm to deal with us.” The dwarf who is half a step into the realm of god questioned.

"You guys are really something. When I didn't tell you, you all said I was lying. Now that I'm telling you, you say I'm lying again. Then I won't say anything more. You can explore it by yourselves." Rhine said pretending to be angry.

"It's okay, old man. I believe you."

"You don't have to take the dwarf's words to heart. He is short-sighted because of his short stature."

"I remember what the old saying in the East says. It seems to be that one should judge a gentleman by one's own mean character. You see, the ancients knew that villains have small minds, so you don't have to be on the same level with them."

Bal's voice was as rough as ever, and he kept calling the dwarf a dwarf and a villain, which made the half-step god-level dwarf look pale. He was a dwarf, so wasn't it normal for him to be short?

"No, you understood this sentence wrongly." Li Jianxian came out to correct him.

"The 'little man' in this sentence does not refer to a person of short stature in the literal sense, but to some people who use their own mean or despicable mentality to speculate on the mind of a person of noble character."

"Then isn't that right? You see, President Wiseman not only provided information about the Fountain of Life for free, but also shared the precious Fountain of Life with us. Isn't he a man of noble character?"

"And this certain villain not only doesn't know how to be grateful, but also questions other people's kindness. Isn't this just judging others by one's own standards?" Bal analyzed to Li Jianxian.

"Ah, this... does seem to make some sense."

Everyone turned their eyes to the embarrassed-looking dwarf who was at the half-step god level.

“What are you looking at? Is what I said impossible? Don’t forget that he originally intended to use us as cannon fodder. If the church hadn’t exposed him, you might have been tricked by him.” The dwarf who was half a step to god said angrily.

Everyone once again focused their attention on Rhine, because what he said made sense. No one would be naive enough to think that Rhine was really a selfless and noble person.

"Are you stupid? You said I was exposed. If I continue to trick you, won't I offend everyone?"

"Even if I don't consider myself, I have to consider the Magic Unification Association behind me, right? Unless I can keep all of you here, once the news gets out, won't the Magic Unification Association become an enemy of the whole world?"

"Not only is your body underdeveloped, but your brain is also underdeveloped?" Rhine shot back.

"Good scolding!" Bal clapped excitedly.

Rhine's words successfully convinced everyone.

Indeed, if Rhine's identity had not been exposed, he might still have been able to cheat people. But now that his identity had been exposed and everyone knew that he was the first president of the Magic Unification Association, he would be a fool if he continued to cheat people.

Just like Rhine said, unless he could keep everyone here, once someone spread the news, Rhine and the Magic Integration Association behind him would be enemies of the whole world.

"Please calm down, President. You don't have to pay attention to the nonsense of some individuals. We all believe in you."

"Yes, I also believe in President Wiseman."

"Yes, yes, yes. Please continue to give me your guidance, President."

“You guys!!!” The half-step-to-god realm dwarf was so angry at this group of “fence-sitters” that he fumed and glared, but in the end he did not say anything else.

"President Wiseman, I have a question. But this is definitely not a questioning of you, but simply out of curiosity." It seemed that there was a precedent of the dwarves, so that those who came later had to express their attitudes first when asking questions.

"explain."

"How did you know how to unseal the Fountain of Life? And how did you bypass the secret realm's defense system?"

"That's a very good question. How I know how to remove the seal is thanks to the organization called Dragon Bishop."

When they heard Rhine say the name of the Dragon Tribe Bishop, the Mesati Empire and the members of the Demon Sword Pavilion who followed them were all shocked. They had always thought that the Dragon Tribe Bishop wanted to rescue the giant dragon in the secret realm, but they didn't expect that he was plotting to obtain the Fountain of Life.

"The Dragon Bishop?"

For these Half-Step God Realm people standing at the top of the world, there are only three legendary Dragon Clan Bishops who are not qualified to let them know. In addition, the activities of the Dragon Clan Bishops are only in the overseas islands, so few people know about it.

But don't forget that they are not alone, there is a huge organization behind them, and soon detailed information about the Dragon Bishop was sent to them.

"What is the Dragon Bishop? How dare he covet the Fountain of Life? Could he be a new world hegemon?" Since Bal was a rare individual in the Half-Step God Realm, he had no source of information of his own and could only ask Li Jianxian who was standing beside him.

"No. Generally speaking, the Dragon Bishop is a religious organization that believes in dragons. In order to avoid the church's encirclement and suppression and to find the traces of giant dragons, they have been active overseas for many years. More than four hundred years ago, they were lurking in the lawless land for some reason. Now I think they are heading for the secret realm." Li Jianxian explained.

"Not a world hegemonic force?" Bal was a little surprised. If it is not a world hegemonic force, yet it dares to covet the Fountain of Life, its appetite is too big.

"Although they are not a world hegemonic force, their inheritance time is no shorter than that of the world hegemonic forces. Even the inheritance time of some emerging world hegemons is not as long as theirs. Therefore, it is not surprising if they really know something." Li Jianxian guessed.

At the same time, the other Half-Step God Realm also learned from their subordinates about the activities of the Dragon Clan Bishop in the Lawless Land in recent years, and soon guessed that they might really know something. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why they lurked in the Lawless Land as soon as the secret realm appeared.

In order to verify their guess, the Half-Step Gods pulled out the Mesati Empire in the corner and the Demon Sword Pavilion in the Lawless Land for confrontation, while no one dared to force the Black Dog Mercenary Group and the Bloody Rose because they had Rhine's protection.

Although Rhine did not say it explicitly, anyone with a brain would know that Fox who caused trouble in the lawless land was actually Wiseman, and the woman next to him was most likely Natasha, the current president of the Magic Association.

And judging from Rhine's actions in the Lawless Land, they guessed that he wanted to take over the Lawless Land.

If it were before, they might have objections. After all, this place is the border between the East and West Continents and the circulation center of intelligence for the entire continent. It has great strategic significance and cannot be controlled by a certain person or force.

The reason why no one dared to pay attention to the lawless land was that it was ostensibly the threat of the Mesati Empire, but in fact it was the "care" of the human high-level officials. Otherwise, how could an empire control the main transportation routes between the East and West continents? Therefore, the lawless land has always been a "no man's land".

But now that Rhine intends to integrate the Lawless Land as his own territory, they will not jump out to oppose it. After all, anyone who knows Rhine's "previous life" knows that his limit cannot be a legend or even a half-step god. No one wants to offend such an enemy with terrifying potential.

After the secret realm ends, the Magic Unification Association will probably rise from the lower world hegemon to the upper world hegemon, and thus be eligible to occupy the lawless land. This piece of land can be regarded as a "gift" from other world hegemons to Rhine.

As for the opinions of the Mesati Empire? What does it have to do with them?

"President Weiseman means that this organization called Dragon Bishops knows about the Fountain of Life?" someone asked.

"Yes. I believe you all already know the relevant information about the Dragon Bishop. Then do you know why they believe in the Dragon Clan?" Rhine asked back.

Seeing that no one could answer, Rhine continued to explain: "Because the founder of the Dragon Tribe, that is, the first generation leader, obtained the inheritance of a giant dragon at the peak of the divine realm. In the inheritance of this giant dragon, the founder of the Dragon Tribe knew the existence of the Fountain of Life."

Rhine revealed all the things about the dragon heritage told by the dragon bishop, but he did not explain that the Fountain of Life and even the entire secret realm actually existed for the egg of the Skysilver Dragon Emperor.

Now everyone thinks that his target is also the Fountain of Life and the Ancient Dragon, but in fact the Sky Silver Dragon Egg is his target.

The Fountain of Life is very precious. It can not only speed up the conversion of divine power of the Half-Step God Realm warriors, but also increase the success rate of impacting the God Realm, which is the so-called opportunity to become a god. But once they know about the egg of the Sky Silver Dragon King, the Fountain of Life is not so important.

After all, the Tianyin Dragon Royal Family is directly in the middle stage of the God Realm when they reach adulthood, and they can even enter the late stage of the God Realm when they grow to the peak. This realm is nothing in the Dragon God Era and the High Elves Era, but in today's world, it is directly a symbol of invincibility, which is much more reliable than some illusory opportunity to become a god.

"I didn't expect that a dragon bishop would hide such a big secret."

After listening to Rhine's explanation, everyone sighed.

"Then how did President Wiseman know this from the Dragon Bishop?" someone asked curiously.

"It's very simple. I happened to run into them when they were lifting the seal. I also captured one of their important figures, who is equivalent to the candidate for the next Dragon Tribe leader. Then I used some special means to learn the purpose of their trip from her. As for what means they used, it's inconvenient to say, but what is certain is that there is no problem with the source of the information." Rhine replied.

"After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, there is a lot of Fountain of Life in the pool, which is more than enough for everyone to share. My suggestion is that in order to maintain peace and stability on the continent and avoid a series of conflicts caused by the competition for the Fountain of Life, it is necessary to continue to maintain the current alliance."

"Then distribute these Fountains of Life according to the proportion of contribution of each major force to the strategy. The more contribution an organization or individual makes, the more Fountains of Life they will receive. Otherwise, it would be too much for one force to take up all the Fountains of Life alone." Rhine said with a double meaning.

Needless to say, everyone knew which forces he was talking about. After all, if it was only the early stage of the Divine Realm, they were really capable of taking it down, but other world hegemonic forces obviously would not let them have it all to themselves.

"We, the Sword Alliance, support President Wiseman's proposal to conquer the secret realm in the form of an alliance, and then distribute it according to the contribution of the conquer."

"My Xuanhuang Empire also supports it."

"Poseidon Island has no objection."

"The Adventurer's Guild has no objection."

"The Assassin's Guild has no objection."

"The Warrior Association has no objection."

"The Magical Unification Association has no objection."

"The Mercenary Alliance has no objection."

"The Demon God has no objection."

"The dwarves have no objection."

. . .

In addition to the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty, the Church, and the Demihuman Empire, the world's dominant forces present have expressed their opinions one after another. They are not just talking, but truly support Rhine's proposal.

After all, if they rely on force to distribute it, the probability of them being able to eat the Fountain of Life is not high, so it is better to have a guaranteed meal now.

"Why, do you, the Demihuman Empire and the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty, want to destroy the harmony of us humans?"

As the general trend continues, some people have questioned these two world hegemons.

"That's right, you guys don't want to keep the Fountain of Life for yourself, do you?"

"I remember that the emperor of the Demihuman Empire is also a human, right? You have come all the way from the far north of the continent to find the Fountain of Life. This means that your emperor's time is coming to an end, right?"

This may seem like a reminder, but it is actually a threat.

The emperor of the Demi-Human Empire is indeed a human being, and has lived for thousands of years. He has been relying on various natural treasures to prolong his life, but because he has taken too many natural treasures, he has developed drug resistance, and ordinary longevity medicines are no longer effective. The Fountain of Life may be their last straw.

Because once the emperor dies, the Demihuman Empire will lose the bond of communication with humans, and the Demihumans may return to the era of slavery.

"We in the Demihuman Empire have no objection."

“We, the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty, have no objection.” After seeing that the Demi-Human Empire agreed, the Half-Step God of the Silver Moon Elf gritted his teeth and agreed.

Otherwise, they would probably be the first to be cleared out.

Therefore, the church was the only one that had not expressed its position.

The pressure once again came to the church.

(ps: The prototype of the Demi-human Empire is the Yamato Empire in Utawarerumono: The Mask of Falsehood. However, few people must know about such an unpopular show. It is really the tears of the times. A small spoiler: after the death of the emperor, the protagonist will take over the Demi-human Empire. Characters from Utawarerumono will appear. But that is the story of the Demi-human Empire. Also, please give a reward. It's the last two days. Let's see if you can get to chapter 10.)

Chapter 249 The Show Begins

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the church's Half-Step God Realm expert frowned.

To be honest, they do not support this proposal.

Because if it is only at the initial stage of the Divine Realm, the Church is fully capable of taking it down even without forming an alliance.

Supporting this proposal would mean giving away a large portion of the fountain of life that is within their reach.

"What should we do now?" the female bishop whispered to her colleagues.

"Let's agree to them for now." The Templar responded after hesitating for a moment.

"So you just divide up the fountain of life like this?"

"Although the church is large and powerful, it has to support more people," the female bishop said somewhat unwillingly.

As mentioned before, the Fountain of Life can accelerate the conversion of divine power for those who are half-step into the divine realm and increase the success rate of impacting the divine realm.

Therefore, it can be used by both those who are in the Half-Step God realm who have not yet completed the transformation of divine power and those who are in the Half-Step God realm who are preparing to impact the divine realm.

Don't forget that there are more than a dozen Half-Step God Realm people in the church. In addition to distributing it to many Half-Step God Realm people, some of it must be used to train new people, which results in each person actually getting less than expected. It was not enough for their own people to share, and now more than half has to be distributed to others.

"What if I don't agree? Do you still want to put the church in opposition to the world?"

“Don’t forget that the number of Half-Step God Realm here alone is almost catching up with that of the Church, not to mention their hidden power.”

"Although the church is powerful, it is not powerful enough to be an enemy of the whole world, right?"

"The Fountain of Life only speeds up the conversion of divine power and increases the success rate. It does not guarantee a breakthrough into the divine realm. It is not worth offending so many world-leading forces for this illusory success rate."

"And it's not completely impossible." The Templar explained.

"any solution?"

"Didn't the proposal say that the Fountain of Life will be distributed according to the proportion of contribution? And with their current lineup, it is simply impossible for them to take down the initial stage of the Divine Realm. They will only take action after the main force behind them arrives with the "trump card"."

"But we are different. Although we are missing the Blazing Sky Wings, that ancient treasure is originally biased towards mobility and defense, and don't we still have an ancient treasure that focuses on attack and killing?"
