Chapter 688 - 687: Knocking on Proxy

Even though Abigail, who has lived through the countless years as an Ancestor God, tried to imagine, she found herself incapable.

She had to admit it.

The destruction of the Upper Three Realms was beyond her comprehension.

Just as she didn’t know what to say, Li Jing spoke calmly.

"You don’t need to know the details, the problem of the Upper Three Realms has been solved, and in no time, the Spiritual Qi of the Star Nebula Great World will be restored."

"..."

Abigail.

Li Jing casually mentioned the fact of Star Nebula Great World’s destruction, and then said the problem has already been solved.

It sounds...

Like Li Jing effortlessly resolved the problem of the Upper Three Realms?

What else can it be?

It’s easy to tell that the Spiritual Qi of the Nebula World didn’t deplete recently.

The problem of the Upper Three Realms has always existed, this is why the Spiritual Qi level hasn’t recovered.

A problem this critical, affecting the entire world, couldn’t have suddenly been inexplicably solved. Clearly, Li Jing’s arrival and his trip to the east played a decisive role.

God damn...

Abigail couldn’t help but lose her composure.

She had only been apart from Li Jing for several days, what had he done in the east?

Curiosity!

Abigail was hesitant to ask, she chose to divert from the subject.

"Master, you should have already noticed that the potential of Earth is extremely high during your time going to the east?"

"Hmm."

Li Jing nodded and continued to walk slowly.

"Once the Spiritual Qi of Star Nebula Great World recovers, setting aside other parts of this world where intelligent life exists, Earth will reach or even surpass the level of Blue Star in no time."

"Master is wise, Earth has great potential."

Abigail responded, lowering her voice as she walked alongside him.

"If the supreme belief could take root on Earth before the recovery of the Spiritual Qi..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Jing shook his head.

"You’ve been on Earth for many days now, you should have realized that this world abides by materialism. Most people do not believe in supernatural things, and those who do often have their own views, with only a few blindly believing."

Abigail fell silent.

She had noticed the phenomenon Li Jing was describing.

After spending so many days in the west, she hadn’t confirmed any of Earth’s numerous faiths to be real, which said a lot.

Even local religions on Earth were in a dire state.

How hard would it be for the Supreme belief to spread and be accepted on Earth?

According to Abigail’s current understanding,

Comparatively, attracting more people by bringing over bubbly goddesses to subtly flirt and livestream seemed more feasible than showcasing various miracles and vigorously promoting their own faith.

However, this...

Was pointless.

Because in the end, people would only crave the goddesses’ bodies.

Belief?

What a joke.

Beliefs aren’t things that can be gained so casually...

A deadlock!

It’s impossible!

Despite reluctantly admitting it, Abigail was still not willing to give up.

"Master, should we... try to find places beyond Earth where intelligent life exists?"

"No need."

Li Jing immediately replied.

"In this environment of depleted Spiritual Qi, the only way forward is to climb the technology tree. Once technology is advanced, there’s no way it would be compatible with belief in the supernatural. Therefore, even if we find places beyond Earth where intelligent life exists, the situation is unlikely to be better than Earth’s."

As he spoke, Li Jing stopped.

"Instead of contemplating how to spread supreme belief, I have other things to do."

?

Abigail also stopped in her tracks.

Facing her puzzled gaze, Li Jing smiled.

"I’ve made a deal with the Star Cloud Heavenly Path, she hopes I can take over the current Nine Great Divine Fields of the Star Nebula Great World."

???

Abigail.

There was a moment when she thought she was hallucinating.

Staring in disbelief at a certain someone, Abigail was taken aback.

Trading with the Will of Heaven?

Was this some sort of joke?

Shouldn’t outsiders like them, with their respective agendas, desperately avoid any encounters with the local Will of Heaven?

Li Jing...

Why is he engaging in contact?

And what he is interacting with is not an ordinary Heavenly Path but the will of a Big World.

That’s not all.

He had reached an agreement with the Star Cloud Heavenly Path to consolidate the existing Nine Great Divine Fields of the Star Nebula Great World.

This is...

Absolute defiance of the heavens!

Abigail was utterly confused.

At this moment, Li Jing spoke again.

"Don’t think too much, you just need to understand what we’re going to prepare next."

"..."

Abigail.

She understood the logic.

But with such a heaven-defying incident happening, how could she not ponder?

The key point is.

Just how extraordinary is this man, who has inexplicably seized the Supreme God Domain, to have had so many incredible experiences?

Originally.

Abigail didn’t care about these things.

Choosing Li Jing.

All she expected was a stepping stone that could satisfy her own ambition.

She didn’t care about who Li Jing was.

Nor did she care why someone as an Eastern Cultivator could be acknowledged by the Supreme Godhood.

What she cared about.

Was only what kind of opportunity Li Jing could offer her.

However, at this moment, she had to pay attention to certain details that she initially didn’t care about.

In front of her eyes.

Li Jing obviously considered her a "confidant", otherwise, he wouldn’t have said so much upon meeting her.

But he was clearly too lazy to explain further.

This situation made Abigail extremely uncomfortable.

The crucial point is that she didn’t dare to investigate further.

Though she was unwilling to admit it, the reality was that the various matters Li Jing had encountered during his absence were beyond her scope; she wasn’t qualified.

Quietly composing herself, Abigail bit her red lip.

"Leader, I have a question I hope you can clear up. The Nine Great Divine Fields should normally exist in the Star Nebula Great World, so why would the Star Cloud Heavenly Path..."

Halfway through her words, Li Jing smiled.

"Flip the situation and think, if the Supreme God Clan encounters a billion-year Qi drought that is on the verge of recovery, and the Upper Three Realms have already been destroyed, what will the Supreme God Clan do when the Spiritual Qi recovers?"

His unpredictable response stunned Abigail for a moment.

But she quickly understood.

She wasn’t stupid.

It was just that the various things at this meeting with Li Jing had brought her too great a shock.

Now, guided by Li Jing, she suddenly understood that the Star Cloud Heavenly Path intended to forcefully suppress the Nine Great Divine Fields to achieve balance; it chose to trade with Li Jing due to the iron rule of the Will of Heaven not intervening in the world’s operation.

Upon further thought.

By telling her all this, Li Jing clearly hoped that she could participate in the upcoming events.

The Star Nebula Great World had Nine Great Divine Fields...

What she couldn’t confirm, Li Jing had.

There were nine Divine Fields.

This meant there were nine God Clans...

Gauging from Li Jing’s previous indisputable promise to let her manage the Supreme God Domain.

Most likely, these nine Divine Fields of the Star Nebula Great World will also end up in her hands, as a "trusted confidant"...

At this thought.

While Abigail’s heart was filled with a burning fervour, she sincerely said.

"Master, although I am not sure about the current level of the nine existing Divine Fields in the Star Nebula Great World, since we’ve reached the Divine Domain level, I alone beside you won’t be of much help."

"I understand."

Li Jing smiled and said.

"So next, I plan to go back and resolve the issue of the Supreme God Domain."

Upon hearing this, Abigail easily caught the crux of the matter and frowned.

"Master, are you planning to borrow the power of the Supreme God Clan to launch a cross-dimensional divine war?"

"Since you understand, why ask again?"

Li Jing tilted his head.

Abigail was left speechless.

She asked for two reasons.

One was to confirm, and the other was to raise the question of whether the Star Cloud Heavenly Path would approve of this.

A cross-dimensional divine war.

Usually, it avoids the Will of Heaven.

The target is the Divine Domain independent of the Great World, as long as one is careful, the Will of Heaven can not interfere.

Yet, this matter has been passed through the Star Cloud Heavenly Path.

If someone is unhappy...

On this point, Abigail thought it was necessary to confirm.

However, someone did not follow the routine, did not even give her a chance to ask.

Staring silently at Li Jing with his head tilted examining her, Abigail inexplicably felt a bit wronged and pouted.

"It’s my stupidity, I shouldn’t have asked too much."

"As long as you understand, pay attention in the future."

Li Jing spoke indifferently, and then moved on.

Seeing that, Abigail silently opened her mouth, feeling even more wronged.

As an Ancestor God.

When has she been educated like this?

What’s more, she doesn’t and dare not get angry.

Willing to submit to a person lower than her, Abigail naturally prepared to face various situations.

However, at this moment.

She found herself somewhat naïve.

Especially when Li Jing neither hit nor scolded her, this kind of highly humiliating situation was...

Seeing Li Jing slowly moving away, Abigail let out a sigh and silently adjusted her state of mind, catching up to walk beside him.

"Master, since you plan to solve the issue of the existence of the Supreme God Domain first, should we depart now to return to the Divine Domain?"

"No hurry, we still have ample time."

Li Jing responded, saying-

"We’re already in the Vatican, let’s first see how the bishop and the divine believers are related behind the scenes. After we finish this, we won’t be in a rush to leave."

Saying this, he also murmured.

"The location of the Nine Great Divine Fields, I got confirmation through the Star Cloud Heavenly Path. But before we start the divine war, we need to understand as much as possible about these existing God Clan forces. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle. Obtaining more information in advance can effectively reduce future casualties among the Supreme God Clan and make the war smoother."

Hearing Li Jing say this, Abigail blinked, feeling a bit confused.

Divine war.

The Supreme God Clan is a professional.

They have always directly set out once they have confirmed the location of the target...

Preparatory work.

Of course, it exists.

But they wouldn’t go to the extent of trying to understand the enemy as much as possible.

Casualties in a divine war are not an issue they would consider.

To some extent.

The Supreme God Clan is primitive.

In their view.

Dying in a divine war, that’s just natural selection.

They are even too lazy to use ordinary rhetoric about dying for glory...

The weak.

Should be eliminated.

Only the truly strong are qualified to survive.

And only when the strong ones survive, acquiring god patterns and various mysteries of other god clans from one divine war after another, can the Supreme God Clan strengthen further.

Therefore, Abigail at present can’t fully comprehend the usefulness of Li Jing’s actions.

But since he said so, she could only follow him obediently.

...

Not long after.

Li Jing and Abigail arrived at the end of the visitor-accessible area of the Vatican.

Beyond this point.

It was the heartland of the X Bishop’s Holy See.

Stopping not far from the restriction line, Li Jing glanced at the heartland of the Holy See without substantial guards but with cameras everywhere, then turned around and walked towards a bookstore near the restriction line that sold various religious texts.

Seeing this, Abigail subconsciously followed suit and looked at the heartland of the Holy See, then asked aloud.

"Master, the few believers who can be sensed here are all in the palace at the far end, shouldn’t we take a look inside?"

"Just a few big cats and little cats, there’s nothing to see."

Li Jing responded, saying.

"Besides, the X Bishop’s faith is the most prosperous faith in modern Earth, no matter how you think about it, they have no reason to have only a few real believers who have gained power through faith. The Earth has few cultivators due to environmental reasons, but according to what we currently see, the believers of the X Bishop who obtain power through faith are too few. It seems that the Vatican is simply a facade to promote doctrine, their real base is not here. Even if we’d to contact the believers who are stationed here, I’m afraid it would be difficult for us to obtain substantive information."

While speaking, he and Abigail walked into the bookstore.

The bookstore was not small.

However, there were no salesperson-like employees inside, only a few people who went around the crowd of tourists with the Bible in hand, answering questions for the tourists while persuasively preaching the greatness and beauty of the X Bishop’s faith.

Li Jing entered the shop and glanced around, then chose to come to the checkout counter directly.

A middle-aged nun was sitting at the front of the counter.

Seeing Li Jing and Abigail approaching, the middle-aged nun stood up and devoutly crossed herself on her chest.

"Praise God, do you two tourists need anything?"

"Hello, I am personally very interested in the history of the X Bishop and related documents about Gods, could you please give me a set of related books?"

Li Jing smiled.

While he was speaking normally, he actually used the Spirit God’s whisper.

The nun, being just an ordinary person, had no chance of resistance.

"Please wait."

The nun who fell for it responded somewhat stiffly, then turned away.

Soon.

One after another, the documentaries about the history of the X Bishop and their related gods were delivered by the nun from various bookshelves to the counter, while the documents related to the X Bishop’s doctrines all were avoided.

In a short while.

A small mountain was piled up in front of Li Jing.

Seeing that the nun no longer went to look for books, he moved his mind, and the Spirit God’s whisper swept around.

The nun’s unusual actions and the pile of various documents inevitably attracted the attention of the other tourists and priests in the shop.

After clearing the surroundings, Li Jing turned to look at Abigail.

"Pack up these books, your task next is to thoroughly absorb all these."

???

Abigail.

From the moment Li Jing said that he wanted to have a deep understanding of the X Bishop, she had no idea what was going on.

The fact that a certain person in front of her bought so many books and still asked her to read them, how could she not be dumbfounded?

While she was stunned, Li Jing said.

"The specific information about the Supreme God Clan spread among the believers is unclear to me, but all these faiths on Earth have one thing in common, every God is great, noble, and has endured various hardships."

"Some of this is surely to deceive people, but there will always be a relatively true part, after all, fabricating from scratch is much harder than revising from truth. Maybe, you could find out some black histories or even weaknesses of an exact God from the corresponding God Clan. It’s definitely worthwhile to do some homework beforehand."

After saying these two points, Li Jing continued.

"In addition, in the future, you will be my substitute, not only will you need to manage the Supreme God Clan, but also you will need to deal with the nine God Clans on Earth that are completely unfamiliar to you. In order to better rule the Divine Domains, it is necessary for you to understand them."

"..."

Abigail.

Listening to Li Jing’s preamble, she was completely unwilling.

Mainly because she didn’t think it was meaningful.

But hearing Li Jing’s postscript, she had no way to refuse.

Previously it was just her guess.

But right now, Li Jing explicitly stated it, that she will be the one in charge in the future.

Looking back.

Abigail also discerned some of Li Jing’s attempts to test her.

It was not that she had made him displeased.

It was that when it comes to the crunch, he wanted to confirm whether she could really obey him.

Looking tearfully at the pile of documents in front of her, which was as big as a mountain, Abigail waved her hand and collected all of it.

"The Lord gives me such a great favor, Abigail will definitely not let you down."

Li Jing nodded with a smile on his lips.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something and looked to the west.

Abigail also sensed it at the same time, frowning and turning her head.

"Master, it seems like someone is spying on us..."
