Chapter 700: Demons and Monsters Appear! Thunderous Tactics!

In Vivela's divine realm, Lin Yan was still stabilizing his divine body.

Yet in the Continent of Gods, within the Purple Emperor Gold Kingdom, some developments had occurred.

"Your Majesty, in York City alone, 51 murders occurred over these three days; in Aure City, the number was higher—85. In smaller towns, numerous incidents of demonic disturbances have also surfaced. According to statistics, across ten provinces, thousands of similar incidents have taken place in just three days."

In the original imperial capital of the Purple Gold Kingdom, a female official was reporting the kingdom's situation to Xiang Mengying.

"So many?"

Below, the winged girl Mia was startled.

The fox girl Sister Qing Ling exchanged a glance with Mengying.

Here it comes!

The god of the Purple Gold Kingdom clearly wasn't going to give up so easily.

On one hand, he was searching the Heavenly Realm for news of the Lord of Flame; on the other, he was stirring chaos within the Purple Gold Kingdom.

This is a common trouble faced by expanding nations on the Continent of Gods.

Even after defeating an opposing god's realm, that god still has countless fanatical followers—resistance can last years, even decades, dragging the victorious nation into exhaustion and despair.

In comparison, the Flame Empire, after destroying the enemy's foundation of faith, faced a far easier situation.

Yet the original god of the Purple Gold Kingdom unleashed a major move.

He created a vast number of evil incidents to unsettle the people's minds, causing them to doubt the Lord of Flame's power out of fear.

Once doubt takes root, hearts grow chaotic; once hearts are chaotic, opportunity arises.

But generating thousands of evil incidents at once, spanning over half the Purple Gold Kingdom—this was an extreme tactic by the original god.

He was willing to do anything to achieve his goal!

Indeed, power alone does not determine everything.

The gods of the Heavenly Realm wield radiant power, yet still employ such evil methods.

Meanwhile, Angest in the Abyss of Darkness was awash in darkness, yet her heart turned toward light.

"Any other news?"

Mengying asked.

The official said: "Rumors are spreading—that the empire's new god isn't strong enough to maintain order, which is why the evil god has targeted the Purple Gold Kingdom, causing so many sinister incidents."

"Evil god? I think someone is behind this."

The winged girl Mia snorted.

"Have you sent Temple Knights to investigate?"

Sister Qing Ling asked.

"Already sent. Many Temple Knights have been stationed in key cities."

The official replied.

Mengying said coolly: "Most common folk have already changed their faith—they lack the capability. There must be extensive collusion from high nobles. Dispatch the Hester Core Knight Order to root them out."

"Yes."

The official withdrew.

"It was terrifying—I was sleeping soundly when suddenly my heart raced. Then I heard heavy footsteps. When I got up, I saw a giant, blood-red figure pass by the window. I was too scared to go out—then screams came from Joseph's house. By the time they rushed over, they found everyone in his family already…"

Outside a room drenched in blood, a commoner in coarse cloth spoke, face pale with terror, recounting last night's ordeal.

"Ah, poor Joseph's family."
