Chapter 1001: Giving You an Undying Divine Flame
Ang came over to take a look at the book page, but finding he couldn't understand it, he shrank back and turned to organizing the grain instead.
The grain was scattered throughout the Divine Domain without even any packaging, and several types were mixed together; one could tell how rushed and casual the process had been when it was brought in.
However, with over nine million tons of grain, it was indeed difficult to organize it meticulously when bringing it into the Divine Domain. It was highly likely that grain giants had been summoned to walk in on their own, which was why it was scattered in such a pile.
"Is it the Power of Prophecy?" Anthony also leaned in to look at the book page.
Negris shook his head. "No, it's a form of divination ability, or perhaps astrology. It's just that when combined with his omniscience, he can predict the future to a certain extent. He predicted that a great catastrophe would occur, leading to a drop in grain production, so he hoarded a massive amount of grain in advance."
"Astrology? Is it more powerful than Deity Diluni?" Anthony asked in surprise.
"Deity Diluni's kind is a scam. In essence, it's star-gazing, within the realm of astronomy. He probably called it astrology to avoid the taboos of your church and avoid trouble. This kind is different; this is theology," Negris said.
Anthony suddenly realized. "Indeed. If he dared to call it star-gazing, the Church would definitely have someone plotting to tie him to the stake and burn this atheist to death. Although he wouldn't be afraid, the students learning this technique would be. Changing the name would indeed avoid a lot of trouble. But is this astrology of the Lord of Omniscience accurate?"
Negris curled his lip. "Probably not very accurate, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen. Where is there any great catastrophe of grain production?"
"Not accurate? Didn't he predict the Light Catastrophe?" Anthony said, stunned.
Negris paused for a moment. "Oh, right. How did I forget about the Light Catastrophe? Ang solved it with a wave of his hand, so I forgot. So, his prediction method is accurate?"
If a matter requires a great deal of energy, time, and resources to resolve, many people will remember it deeply. But if it's solved with a wave of the hand, as simple as drinking water or eating, who would remember how many times they drank water each day?
A great catastrophe? Where is the catastrophe?
Negris flipped through the book several times, flipping through the important parts a few more times, then returned the book to Anthony and said, "Alright, I've memorized it. I'll organize the prediction method into an Omniscient Prediction Model. You can drive it with Omniscient Divine Power to get the divination results. Oh, you don't have Omniscient Divine Power, so you can't use it."
Anthony's face turned bitter. Where was he supposed to get Omniscient Divine Power?
He also didn't know where the Lord of Omniscience had fallen. If he could obtain its Godhead fragments or Godhead imprint, resurrecting an Omniscient Godhead wouldn't be impossible. It seemed he would have to pay attention to matters in this regard.
Just as he was worrying, Koni Sai flew over, bowed, and said, "Almighty Lord of Omniscience, the priests from all sides have finished reporting. The traitors have been registered, and they will be cleared out slowly. Everyone's only request is for grain. Please, Lord of Omniscience, bestow grain upon us."
He could feel that Koni Sai's attitude had changed significantly. It wasn't the perfunctory manner of before, but rather sincerely treating Anthony as a leader, and his posture while reporting was sufficiently respectful.
Anthony nodded and reported to Ang, "My lord, should we allocate grain from here, or bring it in from elsewhere?"
Ang tilted his head, and Negris asked, "Why go elsewhere to bring it in? Is there a difference?"
"The grain here wasn't grown by you, my lord, so it doesn't have the effect of the God of Planting. That batch of grain newly harvested at the Zhuoshan Plane was ripened by you, my lord, and has divine power effects. We can spend some magic crystals to bring it in from there," Anthony said.
Compared to the divine power gained from eating it, the few magic crystals for transporting the grain were negligible.
"But if we bring in other grain, what about the grain here? Throw it away?" Negris said.
Ang, of course, couldn't throw away so much grain, and immediately said, "Eat. This one."
Anthony hurriedly signaled Koni Sai to come over and move the grain. In the hands of a mage, loose grain was far easier to move than bagged grain. With a summoning spell, grain-formed giants emerged from the grain pile, took large strides out, threw themselves onto the carriage, and—good, it was full.
Grain was loaded onto the carriages in an endless stream, forming a long line and being transported away continuously. However, the busyness didn't last long before Ang suddenly looked up at the water curtain in the sky.
Negris followed his gaze and soon discovered something wrong. "What's going on? Thunder elements are gathering. Who is activating the defensive array!"
Koni Sai, not far away, had his expression change drastically, and he looked at Anthony, shaking his head desperately.
Anthony frowned and asked loudly, "Who did you miss? Come closer."
The power of the Heaven and Earth Thunder Array was actually quite terrifying, but it was just unlucky to have encountered Ang's Lightning Spear, so it hadn't displayed its power at all. However, the Lightning Spear wasn't a defensive technique; only by getting close to Ang could one receive protection.
Koni Sai hurriedly flew over and responded urgently, "It's impossible to have any omissions. I focused on all the suspects. They couldn't possibly have had the opportunity to activate the defensive array."
"Then it's someone outside the focus? Can an outsider obtain the activation permission for the defensive array?" Anthony asked.
"No..." Koni Sai had just wanted to say it was impossible when he saw a flash of white light, and a lightning bolt that wasn't very thick struck down from the water curtain.
Ang immediately threw the Lightning Spear, blocking that lightning bolt.
However, the next moment, Ang grabbed Negris and Bai Yin, quickly rushed to the position of Anthony and Koni Sai, and jumped onto their heads.
Another flash of white light, and a second lightning bolt struck down, hitting a grain-transporting carriage in the distance, directly blasting the carriage and the grain on it into the air.
Neither of these two lightning bolts was as thick as the one Ang had encountered when he first arrived, as if their power had been turned down many times in exchange for a greater quantity. However, for the grain carriages and people, it was already an irresistible power.
The splashed grain burned one after another in the air, and by the time it landed, it was already charred black; some even exploded into white popcorn.
Seeing this scene, Ang narrowed his eyes and looked at the water curtain in the sky.
The defensive array didn't stop, however. The third, the fourth, the fifth... Lightning fell like rain, landing on Ang's head, on the Divine Domain, and among the crowd.
Those priests of the Omniscient Church, the Temple Warriors who should have been controlling the defensive array, and so on, also became targets of the attack, and lightning bolts turned them into charred corpses one after another.
Only the lightning bolts aimed at the Divine Domain and Ang didn't hit their targets. One could see the small sapling on Ang's head waving its true leaves vigorously, and all the electric light aimed here obediently veered to the side.
However, protecting the Divine Domain and Negris and the others was already the limit. The other people of the Omniscient Church were too scattered, and Ang couldn't save them.
Just like that, under the baptism of the lightning rain, the entire Sea of Omniscience was in a mess, with raging fires burning everywhere, and broken limbs and charred corpses everywhere. The few priests who were lucky enough not to be struck ran around screaming like headless flies.
Ang stared at the water curtain in the sky for a long time. When he felt that the thunder elements accumulated in the water curtain had been almost consumed, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look at the Divine Domain below.
He saw a phantom holding a very special torch, constantly lighting fires on the grain piles. Several green fire heads had already ignited in the grain piles.
Feeling Ang's gaze, the phantom turned its head, grinned, and said, "Where did this fuzzy god pop out from? You almost ruined our plan. I'll give you a handful of Undying Divine Flame; I hope you like it."
After saying this, the phantom threw the torch in its hand into the grain pile, first raised its hands, then retracted them to its waist, bowed politely, and then its figure collapsed and dissipated.
Raging soul flames erupted on Ang's body.
