As the soul of the holy warrior was devoured, the energy accumulated in his body dissipated, and the negative energy that was already scarce in the entire area completely disappeared. This place was like an oasis in the desert, very conspicuous.
If it were an ordinary ghost, it would probably not be able to contend with this energy. It would become weak and die instantly if it faced it directly. But for Daisy, it wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
After clearing the roadblocks, Lamia looked at the books in the ruins. Lu Yan bent down and picked them all up:
"Hurry up, other undead creatures will come and it will be difficult for us to leave."
They gathered up the remaining books and papers like a whirlwind and immediately retreated outside the library. While walking towards the Central Church, they checked the books in their hands.
There are many books on history, magic, engineering, food... If you find any useful ones among these things, you can hand them over to Lamia so that Lamia can collect more information.
"I found a religious book. It should be related to the god of death."
Lu Yan waved the black book in his hand, and the two looked over. It was a book called "Death Prayer", with a sickle and a skull on the cover.
Opening the book, it records the doctrine of the Church of Death, and it does contain "stories" related to the god of death.
This book, which is suspected to have been issued by the Church of Death or believers in death, says that the goddess of death and the goddess of life were born when the world was just created. They are ancient gods.
Their concepts are not applied to ordinary things. The creation of heaven and earth means that the world is truly born, begins its own life, and is on the road to death.
First there was life and death, then there were light and darkness. Moreover, the two priesthoods of light and darkness were originally in the hands of the two gods of life and death.
The two opposing forces did not fight each other, but cooperated to fight each other, gradually separating their powers. Then, powerful gods appeared one after another, and the whole world became colorful.

Chapter 198 The direction of life.
The doctrine of the Church of Death is very plain. It does not say that people should die, but rather states:
[Life begins its journey from birth. Life as a starting point also means that its end point must be death. Even if it does not die, it is only temporary. The path of life is the path of death.]
When the world was first created, with the separation of power, the goddess of life was still extremely powerful, but the goddess of death became weaker and weaker because there were more births than deaths in the beginning.
However, the core doctrine of the Church of Death is that all things will eventually die, and even the world is inevitable.
The period of more births and fewer deaths will gradually enter the next stage. The increase in souls and lives will also increase the number of dead and sleeping people, and the goddess of life and the goddess of death will become stronger together.
The next stage is from prosperity to decline, from fullness to loss, the world ends its journey from childhood to middle age and begins its journey from middle age to old age.
The number of children born cannot keep up with the number of elderly people dying. This is not the most critical thing, but the fact that the world is beginning to decay.
The strength of life and death is thus reversed. The goddess of life will inevitably weaken, while the goddess of death will become stronger. Even the immortal gods will begin to disappear and age.
Eventually, the entire world will return to silence, chaos, and death, waiting for the next rebirth.
"The Church of Life and the Church of Death have a good relationship, but the Church of Life has been unable to contact the Goddess of Life since 300 years before the birth of the Living Dead."
Daisy waved the "Investigation Report on Life and Death" in her hand:
"It was also during this period that, according to the demographic tables obtained by spellcasters using prophecy spells, the continent's population, which had been growing, officially entered a period of negative growth."
It's so scary.
"Hiss—what happened to the Life Church in the end?"
After flipping through the report, she found that the last few pages were burned. The ghost girl looked through the books and found relevant information. She was so surprised that she subconsciously opened her mouth wide, which attracted Lu Yan and Lamia to look over.
No wonder Daisy was surprised. The relevant book actually said that all the pastors of the Church of Life were incorporated into the Church of Death.
Regarding the creation theory, Lu Yan actually maintains a certain degree of skepticism. It is not impossible for believers to flatter their own gods.
But with the discovery of more books from different angles, it can be basically confirmed that death and life are indeed the first gods to be born.
"Different angles" refers to books related to the churches of other gods. These religious books have a strong personal color and spare no effort to praise their own gods.
But no matter how much they praise it, in the books of other religious people, whether at the beginning, middle or end, it is always stated that "life and death" appears first. Since it appears in their own religious books, it means that even God has no objection to this matter.
There are many truths that have been obtained through comparison and verification. This world is originally going to die completely and then enter reincarnation.
The death of the Goddess of Life was a natural death and had nothing to do with the death of other gods. She was also the first god to lose her immortality and die of natural old age.
It can be seen from the complete incorporation of the Church of Life into the Church of Death that the two gods are very close, and this relationship also extends to the church.
According to the original plot, the goddess of death should be the last god to die. As the world declines, her power will become stronger and stronger until it surpasses everything.
In the end, all things will be destroyed, heaven and earth will die, and chaos will return.
The previous speculation became credible at this point. For various reasons, the other gods did not want this to happen and attacked the goddess of death.
Lamia read through all the books she found, forming a complete timeline of events, and nodded vigorously.
"I understand now. The time period in this book only reaches one year after the first birth of the Living Dead. This Church of Death headquarters is actually aware of the demise of their god."
Precisely because they had noticed something, the gods, for some reason, did not dare let anyone know about it, so they launched a devastating attack on the underground city, and no one was able to escape.
The gods also erased the records and memories of the city from outsiders. After gaining control of the power of the God of Death, they used this to maintain the existence of the Church of Death on the surface.
The authority was not lost, the god of death had disappeared, and in the eyes of many gods, destruction had been stopped, but they did not expect that the world would achieve the result of "losing death" in this way.
"Oh, there's something terrifying going on."
Lu Yan sighed and cast his gaze towards the center of the city. "Next is the cathedral. I hope to gain more."
The final question is why the gods would launch a devastating attack on the underground city. They are so high above that they cannot possibly be afraid of a group of mortals.
Unless these mortals find a way to find their gods.
Reaching out and picking up the Punisher's body, Lu Yan took some effort and turned his entire body into a card. The golden color was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Even if you don't need it yourself, you can exchange it with others for important materials. Gold-level summoning cards are much more expensive than other cards.
So far, Lu Yan has obtained six golden summoning cards in this world of the living and the dead with the help of Lamia. He did not choose to materialize their skills or bloodlines through corpses, but made them all into summoned creatures.
That's right, using a corpse doesn't necessarily mean turning it into a summoned creature.
In addition to the equipment on the body being able to be taken off and turned into equipment cards, the corpse can not only be turned into a summoning card, but the card master can also "decompose" it to reveal the skills, bloodline and other things it possessed during its lifetime.
Unfortunately, he never found any skills that he liked, so he simply made them all into summons, which would make them easier to sell when he took them out.
Although it has no potential to evolve, the relaxed equipment conditions can attract many people to buy it.
boom!
A battle broke out in the church located higher up before the three of them approached. Endless light fell from the sky, and an extremely sacred light shone, as dazzling as the sun.
The light enveloped the entire town. Lu Yan looked up sharply and felt that many things had awakened.
"The energy is quite vibrant. That Aurora angel seems to have awakened all the sleeping guardians. Let's go slowly and wait for others to weaken the angel first."
Lamia made a plan, and Lu Yan felt that he had to be more cautious: "It's not very likely. According to the tree people, the Aurora angels are a family that can receive the thoughts of the gods without praying. What if he and..."
What to do if the communication with the gods is polluted?
Before Lu Yan could finish his words, the sacred feeling of light suddenly changed, and a chaotic breath of death spread out, revealing a sense of madness in the momentum. A howl came from above, telling him to shut his mouth.
After a long while, Lu Yan continued, "Take your time. Wait until I turn the Punisher into a card and take a break."

Chapter 199: Fishing in troubled waters.
The energy conflict continued to occur in the church, and after two hours it even intensified, with no sign of stopping.
The surrounding positive energy booby traps served as energy sources and were hung in the air by the angel Aurora, whom he had never met, providing him with an endless supply of energy as he went crazy.
It was obvious that he had gone mad. The undead creatures that entered the dungeon kept coming one after another, without any fear of their own death. They were already corpses, and the worst that could happen to them was that they would discard their bodies and turn into pure souls.
Anyway, no one collects souls, and as long as they get rid of their physical bodies, they don’t have to be afraid of the wriggling flesh and blood. As long as they are careful not to be affected by spells targeting souls, it will be better than having a physical body.
The living, lone Aerial Angel was extremely valuable. As the news from the ruins was transmitted to the upper world by magic, the strong men in the entire Corpse Puppet City heard the news and attacked him one after another.
It can only be said that this angel is worthy of being one of the ten servants of the God of Light. While going crazy, he also borrowed the power of the God of Light. Lu Yan, who was thousands of meters away, could see the arc-shaped sword energy filled with positive energy rising into the sky and slashing towards the rock wall above his head.
Fortunately, after two hits, one spellcaster felt that the violent attack might cause the entire underground cavity to collapse, so he immediately deployed a defensive barrier to protect the surrounding environment.
It’s nothing to have one’s body completely destroyed by the Angel of Aurora. What I’m afraid of is that some of my flesh is not destroyed and then collapses.
By then, my whole body will be buried underground, and I don’t know how long it will take to drag this pile of rotten flesh out.
After successfully turning the Punisher into a card, Lu Yan led the two of them carefully towards the church. A shining light shot up into the sky, and an angel carrying a breath of decay appeared in their sight.
Judging from his posture and beautiful body parts, it can be seen that he was definitely a handsome man in the past. But now, he is completely different.
As he reconnected with the God of Light, the power of the corrupted god flowed into his body through the connection, directly transforming the body and attributes of his followers. In short, "the light remains, but order and justice are gone."
The originally warm light turned cold and began to bake everything. His three pairs of open white wings became rotten, with bones and flesh exposed, and he no longer had many feathers.
His body also had problems because of this. His originally handsome face became distorted. The angel's face, which should not have aging problems, became extremely old. He no longer had the original vigor and vitality, and became lifeless.
One eye was shaking wildly, his straight back was bent, his eyes became even more crazy, the distortion of his life was still gradually taking shape, and a white arm full of eyeballs emerged from his spine.
"Hmph, monster."
The undead creatures sneered. In the past, they, the high-level undead creatures, were the monsters, but now it seemed that the high-level undead creatures could remain rational and stable. Instead, this group of righteous near-gods had fallen into madness because they were too close to the gods.
It's ironic, and it makes the undead creatures feel sad.
The spellcasters had assumed that their bodies and souls would also decay. If this continued, one day, these undead creatures would also fall into a state of complete decay, and the entire world would be covered with mindless pieces of flesh.
It will take a long time, probably hundreds of millions of years, to complete, so there is still a chance to set things right.
"on!"
Without being too sad, they attacked the crazy Angel of Aurora indifferently. The negative energy surged like a tide, and they attacked the Angel of Aurora in unison.
Energy washed over the center of the town. The chaotic energy field would instantly destroy the bodies of any undead creatures that entered. If their souls did not withdraw in time, they might lose their sanity due to the lack of soul energy.
If it's even more severe, it means turning into a confused soul core with a little consciousness, and being in eternal torment.
Lu Yan made a prompt decision, stretched out his hand to test the energy intensity, summoned the equilateral crystal spirit and quietly brought the two girls into the force field.
The intertwined negative and positive energies were blocked by the refractive crystal wall of the Equilateral Crystal Spirit and had no influence on the crystal wall at all. After all, the Equilateral Crystal Spirit was specialized in defense, and the chaotic force field was just the aftermath of the battle between the gold-level cards.
"Lamia, can that crazy angel fight you for a long time?"
"Yes, without Daisy's help, if I fight him one on one, I will most likely lose if I fight to the death."
Lamia remained uncomplacent and continued to observe the battle.
"He's completely disregarding the wear and tear on his body. He's drawing massive amounts of energy from the gods and using that energy to repair his body. Judging by the current rate of wear and tear, it would take ten years of intense battle for his soul to completely lose control of his body."
The mechanical girl didn't say how she would defeat him if she fought alone, but Lu Yan and Daisy understood that when facing such a monster, there was only one way to win.
With great strength, he could infuse energy into them at once, completely destroying their bodies, leaving only their mad souls, and then sealing or suppressing them.
There is no way. Immortality has become the norm here. All monsters have to be dealt with in this way. Even Lu Yan himself may not die if his head is pierced in this world. His powerful recovery ability can repair his head, and at most he will lose his memory.
Entering the force field, the three took advantage of the fight to come to the vicinity of the destroyed temple. Daisy's eyes flashed with excitement and eagerness. She entered a place full of stones in the ruins and started digging.
Lu Yan and Lamia came to help, but the two sides in the fierce battle did not notice them. The angels were crazy. The undead creatures subconsciously felt that no weak people could survive in such an environment, and the magic fluctuations emitted by the strong were easily perceived.
Carefully digging through the rubble to reach a flat surface, Lamia used a sickle to create a gap, breaking up the stone slabs to reveal a passage beneath the ground. The three of them immediately entered, and Lamia pulled some of the rubble over as cover.
There is a basement under the church, which does not seem to have been affected too much. Neither the disaster nor the battle caused a devastating blow to the basement.
Attracted to the bottom of the passage, Daisy, who was at the front, raised her sickle and cut the gate covered with spells. It was not known whether the sickle matched the spell or the spell was too fragile, but when the blade touched the wall, all the magic became ineffective.
She stepped into the shadow filled with magic. Lu Yan and Lamia followed closely behind her, but found that the lights could not illuminate the underground world and their vision fell into darkness.
"Daisy, where are you!?"
Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately called out to the girl. His senses were being disturbed by the darkness. Just as he was about to release the energy in his body to forcibly break through the darkness, Lamia burst out with a strong light, breaking through the extreme darkness created by the shadow energy.
The sound of attack reached his ears, and he saw the ghost girl in front of him engaging in close combat with a man. The skinny figure in black put away his dagger and retreated, staring at the sickle in a daze.

Chapter 200 If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself (unclear drum beat)
Daisy, who was attacked in the dark, recovered from her state of being attracted and returned to Lu Yan to calm her desire, while cautiously staring at the dark man in front of her.
He was obviously an undead creature and had probably been down there for a long time. It was unknown whether he had just woken up or had been awake and staying down there all along.
If it was the former, then he probably had intelligence, but if it was the latter, even the undead creature would have gone completely insane.
"Are you conscious?"
Lu Yan stepped forward to negotiate. He looked at the sickle, then turned his gaze to the half of Daisy's face filled with scarlet pupils. He put away his dagger and took off his tattered hood.
"It's finally here, [Broken Soul]."
