The night passed, and the orcs did not come back. I wonder if they gave up or had other plans.

The glimmer of dawn awakens the town of dawn, but at this moment, the quiet and peaceful town no longer has the vitality it used to be.

The ground near Chenxi Library is filled with potholes, with collapsed houses everywhere, and some orc corpses are scattered on the ground.

In the hall, Yan Chong exercised until after one o'clock in the morning before the fullness in his body disappeared. However, at this time, Luo Li and the others had already eaten the table of dishes.

Therefore, Yan Chong could only replace sleep with meditation and continued to exercise his mental strength honestly.

Although there was such a fierce battle yesterday, after three or four hours of meditation, Yan Chong was already full of energy and had no sleepiness and completely recovered.

There were several exquisite tents next to them, and a steady sound of breathing came from inside.

After walking out of the library, looking at the scars on the ground and smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Yan Chong couldn't help but frown.

"War is so cruel." A plain voice came from his ears. Yan Chong turned his head and saw that Mei Lin had arrived at him at some point.

"But, those who suffer will always be these innocent people." Yan Chong said with a frown.

"Yes, if our glorious church had established a church here before, perhaps when the orcs invaded, the pastors would definitely help guide the people and let more people escape this disaster."

"It is our responsibility to spread light and expel darkness." Merlin's face was regretful, but his tone was very firm.

"Why doesn't the Empire allow you to build a church here?" Yan Chong said in confusion.

He was very surprised before. What caused the drastic changes a hundred years ago and led to the empire going downhill.

"Ambition!" Meilin's tone suddenly became stronger and he spitted out two words.

"No emperor is willing to share his power with others. What he hopes is that the entire empire, even the entire endless continent, will be under his control."

"However, ambition requires corresponding strength to match. He does not have corresponding strength, so he made the wrong choice."

"But," Yan Chong couldn't help but interrupt Meilin's words and retorted, "The Glorious Church is a service to the gods."

"So, why does the church pose a threat to the power of the human empire?"

After saying that, he stared at Merlin, as if he wanted to tell the truth about the next answer.

Merlin smiled and said disrespectfully: "Do you think our church is a group of hypocritical people who are greedy for power?"

Yan Chong didn't say anything, but still stared at the other party, expressing his attitude.

"Empires are always replaced, but the gods are eternal."

"Who moved whose cheese first, maybe it might be. As an emperor, perhaps he could enjoy the supreme glory and power among human beings and do whatever he wants. But once he offends the gods, all we do is to uphold the will of the gods."

After the words came to an end, Merlin turned around and left.

Yan Chong stood there, thinking.

Just now, he did subconsciously apply some of the history of the earth to the endless continent.

However, he ignored that the so-called divine authority of the monarch on earth was just a trick directed and acted by the monarch and deceived the people.

But the Endless Continent is completely different. The lifespan of the gods is almost eternal and the empires are constantly changing. Perhaps in the eyes of the gods, they are just an ant who lives longer and grows stronger in the garden at home.

An ant can act as a mighty person in his tribe, but once he floats away and wants to turn against the enemy and drive humans out of the garden, the nature of the matter is somewhat serious.

Therefore, the church may not be as arrogant as imagined. What they do have always been instructed by the gods.

However, Yan Chong had a new question in his heart. As an emperor, especially the native natives of the Endless Continent, how could he not understand this truth and instead anger the gods with utmost trauma?

A slight earthquake tremor was transmitted from the ground, and Yan Chong couldn't help but look around, and Luo Li walked out at the entrance of the library.

"What's going on? Is there another battle?" Yan Chong couldn't help but ask.

This tremor was a bit like a fireball as big as the head released by Sophia that day, causing the aftermath of the explosion.

But there was no explosion nearby, it was more like the aftermath of an earthquake in the distance.

"It's the altar node, and Merlin should be destroying the altar node of the town." Loli said, "Let's go, let's go too, otherwise this guy will be taken first. Maybe the clues of that thing are also related to this."

Yan Chong knew it in his heart. Luo Li said yesterday that the orcs might have transformed the entire town into a huge altar.

Regardless of whether their plan to capture the town is successful, the creatures who die in the altar will provide sacrifices for the altar, regardless of the enemy.

Therefore, it is very likely that they have exceeded their goals.

Loli flipped his palm and a card with a golden bottom appeared in his hand. It was the one that sealed Harrick's altar yesterday.

She covered her mental power on the card, sensed it for a moment, and then ran in one direction.

Yan Chong hurriedly followed.

"The altar of the entire town is for the purpose of enlarging and storing sacrifices, and this miniature altar serves as the core to absorb sacrifices and communicate with evil gods."

Loli Yang said, "There is a vague connection between the two."

Soon, the two of them came to a small alley.

Luo Li stomped her feet gently on the ground, and the bluestone immediately broke open, and a misty red light emanated.

The pungent and bloody smell filled the air. Looking down, there was no soil under the bluestone, but a red viscous liquid.

The liquid emits red light, which seems to be radiation. Although it is just a pile of dead objects, Yan Chong always feels that life is nurturing and heartbeats are pulsating.

"It smells a little XP." For some reason, this idea suddenly appeared in Yan Chong's mind.

When Meilin released the magic technique, Yan Chong analyzed that XP is likely to be a good thing that gods want. So, the so-called sacrifice is the object of the evil god, so it is very likely that the origin of human souls is also needed.

"Human XP is definitely much higher than ordinary cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, after all, the gap in wisdom is large."

"So, the evil god likes cruel and bloody sacrifice rituals, and the sacrifices are often human."

【Abstract】!

However, after launching [Draw], no movement happened, and no XP was paid.

"Is it because it's more than 2 minutes' time limit?" Yan Chong was not disappointed. He was originally trying, and his ability to [draw] was promoted to level C, but there was still a 2-minute time limit.

"What are these liquids?" Yan rushed towards Loli and asked. Like the unknown liquids in Richard's room, [Reading] no information appeared.

"The circuit conductor of the sacrifice ceremony, the blood of some kind of abyss demon creature, represents unknown and dirty." Luo Li looked solemn.

"We can only seal it, or purify it with magical techniques."
