The bishops who studied the chaotic pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest were called sages and wise men by them.

Celia waved her hand, "Grandpa Shuen, you're too kind. I am the future saintess, this is what I should do. If you want to thank someone, thank the gods. Without divine guidance, I wouldn't have been able to do this."

Although this deity does not require faith, nor is he one of the gods worshipped by the Holy Court.

Celia thought to herself.

In her mind, she said earnestly, "Thank you, Lord Ross."

Ross didn't care: "I'm only here for the Golden Apple; dealing with the pollution is just a side effect."

He paused for a moment and then said, "There's something you should tell them: the pollution of the Golden Apple Stone Forest has returned to the Abyss, which will cause changes in the Abyss, including but not limited to, monsters becoming stronger, monsters advancing more easily, and monsters surpassing human limits."

"Ok."

Celia nodded, and then relayed Ross's words to Melina and the other two.

Melina and Blake exchanged a glance, and Blake said, "Although it will cause this problem, the situation in the Golden Apple Stone Forest is more threatening to us now than the Abyss."

The magic array of the Golden Apple Stone Forest was set up five hundred years ago. For such a long time, they knew nothing about the condition of the Golden Apple Stone Forest magic array and had no idea when it would be damaged.

When that time comes, the complete outbreak of pollution will surely engulf the entire world.

Xiu En was most impressed: "Blake is right. I have studied the Golden Apple Stone Forest for decades and know the situation here. The pollution here will increase over time, not even counting the parts that have settled underground. When it is in operation, it will also absorb pollution from the deep sea and the land, and grow stronger."

Celia asked curiously, "Does Grandpa Shuen know about the pollution in the deep sea?"

Xiu En said, "I only know a little. The pollution levels in the deep sea are ten times more terrifying than in the Golden Apple Stone Forest... no, maybe a hundred times more, but..."

He shook his head with a wry smile: "The deep sea is too dangerous. Each of the three major sea areas has a huge number of monsters. These monsters were driven out of the land during the Age of Calamity and hid in the deep sea. Even a sixth-level mage would not dare to venture deep into it easily."

Celia said, "If that ocean pollution were to explode, it would be far more dangerous than the Golden Apple Stone Forest..."

Xiu En nodded: "Definitely. If the pollution of the deep sea sweeps across the land, it will probably usher in the second era of calamity."

Blake laughed and said, "Why think so much? The pollution here has been cleaned up. Without the pollution from the shore, we can go deep into the sea to investigate. It just depends on whether the old man wants to go or not."

Xiu En snorted: "Do you need to tell me?"

Celia couldn't help but ask Ross in her mind, "Lord Ross, do you know anything about the deep sea?"

Ross said, "The deep sea has been completely polluted, isolating the entire Starfall Continent. You should consider whether the gods should restrain the pollution of the deep sea or protect the Starfall Continent from being invaded by the pollution of the deep sea. There is a big difference between the two."

"This……"

For Celia, that was a bit too far off.

Ross chuckled and said, "No need to think so much. Even if the deep sea is polluted, it will at most be like the calamity of five hundred years ago. The calamity has passed, so why be afraid of it happening again?"

Celia said, "I'm scared."

Various books, as well as the calamities described by bards, were all terrifying.

How could we not be afraid of directly wiping out a calamity that would have brought about a prosperous era?

Celia did not want to see the calamity come.

That's terrible.

Ross said calmly, "If you're afraid, hurry up and improve your strength to break the seal for me."

"it is good."

Thinking about Ross's consistently strong performance, Celia's worries gradually disappeared.

Only now did she come up with the idea of ​​rescuing Ross.

It's impossible that everything I've done along the way was just to make me break the seal, so I pretended to save the world, right?

Celia couldn't help but think to herself.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she felt a sharp pain in her mental energy as Ross struck her.

"What nonsense are you thinking? If you really thought that way, you wouldn't be at the third rank now, you'd be at the sixth rank."

"Sixth rank? How is that possible...?"

"The Deep Sea Aid Society can produce a fourth- or even fifth-tier mage in a short time. Do you think I can't?"

Ross smiled slightly: "If I wanted to, I could turn the magic array you set up into one that extracts all the demonic energy pollution from the Golden Apple Stone Forest and pours it into your body, forcibly elevating you to the seventh rank. Then, you could pass through the Abyss Gate and come directly to the Endless Abyss where I am."

"Although it may not be able to break the seal, it will let me know what's outside the seal and what's outside. To me, it's no different from already breaking it."

Celia asked curiously, "Then why doesn't Lord Ross do that?"

Could it be...

A bold idea popped into Celia's head, and her heart raced.

Ross said irritably, "Stop thinking about all that nonsense and hurry up and recall the puppet. I've brought the golden apple."

"Oh, alright."

Rose shook his head as he watched Celia frantically trying to control the puppet.

His ghostly figure appeared to the side, gazing towards the deep sea, lost in thought.

Chapter 458 Using the world as a game? Hagi Zou, you bastard!

"The deep sea contains 80% of the pollution, while the pollution level on the Starfall Continent is only a fraction of that."

Inside the sealed land, Roth and Ethel sat at a stone table in front of the temple.

Rostsch Ethel rested and told himself about the deep sea.

Perhaps no one understands the deep sea better than Ethel.

"Zeudin opened the gates of the abyss, unleashing tons of monsters that killed almost all the high-ranking mages on the Starfall Continent. The monsters, born from the chaos and comparable to the gods, also caused great trouble for the gods."

"When all your subordinates have fallen silent, and other Saints, Demigods, and even Gods have died under the calamity, then Zeus Ding will banish all the pollution to the deep sea."

"I don't know why he did this. I don't know what Zhou Ding is planning. All I know is that everything he did was to deal with you."

"To deal with me?" Ross asked in surprise.

Ethel nodded: "Yes, to deal with you, even with all twelve Olympian gods attacking together, they couldn't kill you without your resistance. In the end, they were forced to seal you in the endless abyss. Zeuding was thinking about how to kill you. Everything that followed was probably his plan, but even his wife didn't know why he did it, let alone me."

"Alright then." Ross shook his head.

He appeared casual, but inwardly he became serious.

They plundered everyone's faith, polluted the Starfall Continent, causing a severe disaster, and instead of returning the pollution, they threw it into the deep sea.

Even monsters from the abyss were thrown into the deep sea.

All of this made Ross feel some pressure.

"The good news is that I'm in the dark while he's in the light. He doesn't know that I can influence the Starfall Continent and his plans through the Little Saintess."

"No matter what he wants to do, we can't let him succeed. It's in my best interest to deal with his plans before I'm unsealed."

Ross pondered for a moment and had already devised a plan of action.

……

at the same time.

This is the Golden Apple Stone Forest area.

Ross hid the golden apple inside the puppet, but it was manipulated by Celia to return and be stored back in the puppet's storage space.

As the Abyss Gate gradually disappeared after it could no longer absorb the pollution, the entire Golden Apple Stone Forest was revealed to everyone.

When Melina and her two companions returned with Celia, all the Knights of the Law and the scholars researching pollution cheered.

No one understands the dangers of pollution to the Golden Apple Stone Forest better than scholars.

Some scholars even shed tears, just like Xiu En before them.

Xiu En was also deeply moved, and he came before the many scholars to give orders.

With the crisis at the Golden Apple Stone Forest resolved, there was no need to continue research there.

He planned to take everyone back to Leites City first, and then wait for the Holy Lord's arrangements.

Whether he wants to study the deep sea while he's at it, or go back to study other places, it's up to him.

The deep sea was too dangerous, and he was reluctant to let his students take such risks.

Feeling a bit tired.

Before leaving, Celia said to him, "Actually, there's no need to disband. The chaotic magic in the Golden Apple Stone Forest hasn't disappeared; only the pollution has. Studying chaotic magic is also a kind of research."

Xiu En smiled slightly: "We'll talk about it later. I'd rather research something more dangerous."

The chaotic magic of the Golden Apple Stone Forest has always existed and will not escape no matter what happens, which has become a miracle of this place.

The chaotic magic is like water; it only sinks to the bottom of the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

Without any contamination or stimulation, as long as you don't meditate and absorb magic power inside, the previous problems won't occur.

Celia didn't say much, followed Melina to the Knights of the Law, and quietly left while she was speaking to Blake.

She arrived at the edge of the Golden Apple Stone Forest and looked at it.

Without the obstruction of the gray fog, the central fortress could be vaguely seen from above.

Here, small mountains rise abruptly from the ground, and in some places, lakes have formed. Once the trees grow back, this place will become a breathtaking sight.

"The unpolluted Golden Apple Stone Forest is so beautiful," Celia exclaimed, capturing the moment forever with her bracelet.

Then, she quickly returned to her room, summoned the puppet, took out the golden apple from the puppet's chest cavity, and examined it curiously.

As its name suggests, the Golden Apple is golden in color and emits a golden glow. It feels warm and smooth to the touch, like jade, and you can faintly feel a rich energy flowing inside.

Ross's phantom appeared beside her.

Celia asked curiously, "Lord Ross, how should we prepare the golden apple? Should we eat it directly?"

Ross said calmly, "If you're not afraid of stuffing yourself to death, then just eat it."

The girl made a face.

"The Golden Apple is quite special; you can't eat it directly with your current strength. You need to use many medicinal herbs to dilute its energy. Also, after you use it, you must plant the seed inside the core, or you will encounter misfortune."

"Can the seed grow into a new golden apple?" Celia asked curiously.

"Of course, but don't even think about it. Once the golden apple seed is planted in the ground, it will be integrated into the ecological cycle of the entire world. It will randomly bloom somewhere, but it will not bear fruit."

"what?"

"Or rather, it will not bear fruit with authority unless you plant it next to the Star Spirit Tree and nourish it with divine power for about 10 years when it blooms, otherwise the fruit it bears will only be ordinary high-level materials."

"Is it that complicated?" Celia exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s how high-level spiritual objects are.” Ross smiled slightly. “There are things even more troublesome than the golden apple. Those are the things that even gods would covet. To gods, the golden apple is at most an ordinary luxury item. It looks nice on display, but it doesn’t have much effect.”

"Can't the gods obtain the 'cycle' authority over the golden apple?"

"Of course not. Only a complete golden apple has authority. Once eaten, it becomes a high-grade spiritual object. Carrying it with you is more effective than eating it."

“Then I won’t eat it,” Celia said without hesitation, looking at the golden apple.

Ross smiled slightly: "That's fine too, as long as you're not afraid of attracting high-level monsters to rob you from time to time, or even attracting gods to rob you, you can do whatever you want with it."

He paused, then added, "The 'gods' that can be attracted here are most likely 'evil gods' who are not on the list of gods."

“Then let’s eat it,” Celia said without hesitation.

Ross smiled slightly and took out a list of materials he had prepared beforehand.

"These are the materials that will be used to dilute the effects of the Golden Apple; there are about 300 of them."

Celia's eyes widened, her heart stopped: "How...how much?"

300 kinds.

"Well, I think we should just forget about it and let the Golden Apple return to the Golden Apple Stone Forest..."

"late!"

"..."
