Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“What are the Seven Demon Lords of Sin’s forces in the human world?”

Jiang Cheng tossed 200 gold coins to Fist Sage, his eyes inquiring.

Jokes aside, Jiang Cheng knew that the intelligence Fist Sage obtained indeed cost money.

It’s just that the price wasn’t as exaggerated as he had said.

But he couldn’t let him do all this for nothing.

“I knew you were a righteous kid.” Fist Sage punched Jiang Cheng lightly, a hint of a smile finally appearing on his bitter face.

Putting the gold coins back in his bag, Fist Sage continued, “Although Hell is tyrannical, there are gods in the human world now, so they certainly wouldn’t appear openly before people.”

“So they created an organization called the Holy Light Church.”

“…” Jiang Cheng.

Holy Light Church…

The Seven Demon Lords of Sin, representing the seven deadly sins of Hell, actually established a church representing light…

Even with Jiang Cheng’s vast experience, he was surprised by the Seven Demon Lords’ audacious move.

“Don’t the Archangels come out to expose this fraud?” Jiang Cheng was a bit speechless.

Fist Sage shook his head,

“After the epic battle, many gods fell, and there were many traitors among the angels. They’re not united internally and have split into various factions, each fighting for themselves. Even if they know the Holy Light Church is fake, they lack the power to do anything about it.”

“Besides, don’t think the angels’ abilities are that great, and don’t assume they represent nobility.”

Fist Sage sighed, “Angels are just agents of the gods. Except for the Archangels who are beyond this, other ordinary angels are just slightly higher-level pawns, like the celestial soldiers in our Chinese mythology.”

“And they’re divided into many factions internally. I don’t know the specifics, but their force in the human world is called the Celestial Assembly.”

“The Celestial Assembly, the Holy Light Church.” Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment.

“So far, I haven’t had any contact with them.”

“Haha, this is where you’re in the dark. The Celestial Assembly is a hidden profession, the transformation hall for angels,” Fist Sage said. “The Holy Light Church is now the headquarters for priest players.”

Jiang Cheng: “…”

The hidden angel profession was one thing…

But the Holy Light Church, established by Hell, being the headquarters for light-representing priest players…

That was a bit ironic.

Purifiers, Holy Light Priests, and Demon-Suppressing Priests – which of these professions didn’t rely on exorcising demons as their core tenet to gain the blessing of holy power?

But in the end, the demons they were supposed to exorcise were actually their teachers?

The Great Wasteland world was developing in quite an interesting way…

“Haha, you’re stunned too, right? When I first found out, I was shocked as well. I really found it hard to believe that the Holy Light Church was actually the inheritor of holy light, and was established by Hell behind the scenes.”

Fist Sage laughed,

“The Holy Light Church has seven high priests: Yellow, Black, White, Green, Red, Purple, and Gold. They’re all subordinates of the Seven Demon Lords of Sin, distributed in Vermilion Bird City, Xuanwu City, White Tiger City, Azure Dragon City, Qilin City, Phoenix Cry City, and Twilight City. The high priests are at least around level 1000. You shouldn’t think too much about this now, just focus on improving your strength as soon as possible.”

“At present, we can’t come into contact with these figures, and they won’t turn their attention to seemingly insignificant characters like us.”

Fist Sage’s expression showed no concern, looking quite unworried.

But Jiang Cheng shook his head,

“Not necessarily. You should understand that the players’ infinite resurrections are in themselves an anomalous phenomenon. And the origin of the players, the Heavenly Emperor mentioned by those NPCs, might not be kept secret from these native figures for long.”

“Heavenly Emperor? I’ve never heard this term. What kind of existence is he? Heavenly Emperor… Heaven… Did a new power appear in the sky after Heaven fell? Or is the Heavenly Emperor the AI system of the Great Wasteland? Were we transported here by the Heavenly Emperor?”

A solemn look appeared on Fist Sage’s face, “If that’s true, once these gods learn that we were sent by the Heavenly Emperor, and that the Heavenly Emperor has established a new order in the sky, they might become desperate!”

“In that case…” Fist Sage’s expression changed, “We would be fine, as this is just a game after all. If something really happens, we can just quit and stop playing. But you, Little Chengzi… you need to get out of your current state quickly.”

“I’d like to, but have you forgotten why I asked you to find information about the Seven Demon Lords of Sin?”

“Smack!” After hearing this, Fist Sage slapped his forehead hard, “Damn it, how could I forget about that.”

The reason Jiang Cheng wanted to find the Seven Demon Lords of Sin was that only by killing them might he be able to escape his current identity.

“It seems you’re destined to be enemies with all the gods of the Great Wasteland. Perhaps someone is secretly using you as a pawn.”

The more Fist Sage thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. He patted Jiang Cheng’s shoulder, “But don’t worry, no matter who your opponent is, I’ll always stand by your side.”

“I understand.” Jiang Cheng was deeply moved. He turned his head slightly and exchanged a glance with Fist Sage.

Fist Sage seemed to sense Jiang Cheng’s emotion and smiled back at him.

In life, to gain a true friend, what more could one ask for?

Fist Sage felt this sentiment rising in his heart.

But the next moment, he almost wanted to strangle Jiang Cheng.

“So, the rest of your intelligence shouldn’t be charged separately, right?”

Jiang Cheng said leisurely.

“You’re ruthless. I admit defeat. Consider this a buy-one-get-seven-free deal!”

Fist Sage glared at Jiang Cheng while cursing, then changed his tone,

“But since the gods have noticed us, you shouldn’t be too high-profile recently. Let Little Cutie take more of the spotlight, and you should hurry to improve your strength. Besides, the day after tomorrow is the city attack battle. Cutie Shakes the World must win their first battle!”

“I know. Haven’t you seen me letting her gain experience?”

Jiang Cheng spread his hands.

Fist Sage nodded, “Little Cutie has indeed made great progress by your side. When it comes to teaching disciples, you’re definitely stronger. Interested in teaching Yun Bao?”

“No time,” Jiang Cheng refused immediately. “Besides, I think that little girl Yun Bao probably doesn’t like being helped with a sympathetic gaze.”

“Haha, you’re still so cold-hearted.” Fist Sage laughed, “Actually, I just want her to experience everything she hasn’t in her lifetime. That way, at least when she leaves, she won’t have any regrets.”

“I can’t help her.” Although he refused, Jiang Cheng still felt somewhat emotional thinking about that petite figure carrying a zither as tall as herself.

After pondering for a moment, seeing that the Flame Demon Commander still had seven-tenths of its health left, Jiang Cheng knew there wasn’t enough time. He could only sigh slightly,

“We’ve gathered enough information. We won’t go for the remaining two World Bosses.”

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Cheng felt that after killing this Flame Demon Commander, they had earned enough fame and had put significant pressure on the Temple.

Now that he knew he had so many powerful enemies, the urgent task was to earn evolution points and evolve as soon as possible.

Moreover, if he could evolve into the Nether Emperor, perhaps he could allow Yun Bao to exist in another form.
