What sect? How many followers?” Anthony, excited and eager, was about to teleport to Leo’s Court when Coin stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then gave them another coordinate, instructing them to teleport there and regroup; seeing the teleportation array—nameless, marked only by a string of symbols—Anthony nodded thoughtfully: “Looks like Leo’s Court has tight defenses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ang could craft teleportation arrays anywhere, making it seem casual, all those points were in unguarded locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a well-defended plane, there would first be a coordination mechanism similar to a “Plane Security Council,” capable of mobilizing the entire plane’s forces to crush invaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the prime material plane has a plane barrier, meaning teleportation arrays can only be set up at weak points in the barrier—and these weak spots are always marked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when they hunted down the Titans, they used these marks to establish temporary teleportation points, constantly shifting troops and chasing the Titans until they were gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one forcibly breaches the plane barrier, the disturbance is enormous; the Plane Security Council sets up detection systems that trigger troop mobilization the moment they sense it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ang hadn’t turned the Plane Security Council into his own household, he too would have drawn a crackdown—just like the Titans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, mobilizing the entire plane’s forces requires a solid mechanism; otherwise, there are too many loopholes—enemies teleport in, and the defenders don’t respond for half a month. What’s the point of exterminating them then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Coin to be this cautious, Leo’s Court’s garrison must be extremely tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They teleported to the new coordinate—a space like an underground city; as soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, they saw a city stretching along an axis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All buildings were low and crude; some were merely tents made of two pieces of cloth. Various creatures gathered in the square near the teleportation array, either shouting loudly or whispering privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ang couldn’t help but look up several times, because the environment here was so similar to the lich underground city of the Abyss of Rest—different races coexisting peacefully, bustling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ang merely thought it resembled a lich underground city, but Anthony immediately spotted the truth: “Looks like there’s a powerful figure here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lich underground city maintained order because of Phyllin; here, order must be upheld by a similar powerful being or organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he murmured, the teleportation array activated again—a flash of intense light—and Coin arrived with a group of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ang and the others, Coin quickly waved to those behind him; they dispersed orderly in different directions, leaving only two attendants. Coin himself hurried over to pay respects: “My lord, Lord Negril, Lord Anthony.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony looked at the dispersing crowd and asked: “What place is this? Who’s in charge? The order here is excellent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coin scratched his head: “Huh? This is our territory—oh, right, the Violet Guild’s territory. Now I’m in charge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—so this is the Violet Guild’s territory? They’re just a mercenary group—do they really control this much land?” Negril asked. It wasn’t just the size of the territory—it was the population. In a desolate Abyss Plane, no matter how vast the area, it’s meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this? With equipment provided by Du Luo Ken, Roland and his crew are going full black-op, wiping out black-market forces everywhere. In a while, their territory will be even bigger,” Coin said dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Violet Guild’s personnel weren’t bad—just poorly equipped. Now each member wields a Dragon-Grain Steel-Core Crystal-Plated Sword, wears an original dual-crystal-plated cloak, carries a teleportation scroll, and is accompanied by the undead necromancer Ziola—their strength has surged dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this power, they rank among the top in black-market forces; aside from a few god-tier mercenary groups like the Heisuo Guild, which captured the native undead skeletons, others are nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ang’s group roamed around, the Violet Guild used multiple teleportation jumps, spending heavily to return to the Divine Light Alliance—and now they’re deep in black-op operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is our territory? Then this teleportation array is far too crude—short range, unstable connections, poor security, no defense or forced interruption capability, terrible city planning, low spatial efficiency, illogical zoning, conflicting traffic flows…” Hearing it was their own territory, Du Luo Ken immediately switched gears and began nitpicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coin waved to a servant, who ran over; Coin handed him a silver coin and told him to take Du Luo Ken away: “With the Alchemy King planning this place, we’ll definitely squeeze Roland for every coin later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to the topic, Anthony asked: “What sect? How many followers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About a hundred thousand devoted followers, over ten million casual believers—they worship…” Here, Coin glanced at Negril: “They worship the Omniscient God—the all-knowing, all-powerful Omniscient God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—” Not just Negril, even Anthony burst out laughing. Wasn’t this just the God of Knowledge?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did they go bankrupt?” Anthony asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a long story, Lord Anthony—can we really buy them and rename them?” Coin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony said: “Absolutely. History is full of such cases. Once you control scriptural interpretation, we can fully take over the entire belief system under a new sect name—even directly rename it: Negril Sect, Coin Sect, Lutheranism, Calvinism, etc.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we seize the divine essence?” Coin asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony considered carefully: “It depends. If the main god has already perished and the divine essence is shattered, you must reignite the divine flame—just like Lisa. But if the divine essence remains intact and only the main god perished, seizing it is easy—just beat it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, for a belief system, the most important things are followers and legitimacy. Whether you have the divine essence isn’t that crucial—what do you even need the divine essence for?” Anthony asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Negril was confused and interrupted: “Wait—why isn’t the divine essence important?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony said: “It’s not important to me. Even without a divine essence, I can still trick them into following me. A name just makes the trick easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negril took a brutal hit—he found convincing followers incredibly hard. Without a divine essence, he could only serve as a translator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to the topic, Coin rubbed his nose with a strange expression: “Because the Omniscient God hoarded all the food inside the Omniscient Sea. Without the divine essence, you can’t break the seal on the Omniscient Sea—can’t get the food. The Omniscient Church will go bankrupt. Oh, no—they’re already bankrupt. People are about to starve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft… no wonder you wanted to buy them. You’re planning to just fail to open the Omniscient Sea and borrow food from Ang, right? To drown them in grain?” Negril asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-21T03:18:46.613Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e321607af35b51a31f4051978f794e321e6b2d97e9a6c178f2955630808ddc23","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-996","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-994",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-cover.jpg"]
