Chapter 150: God War

Presumably once Jiang Xuan takes the Chaos Sea, Klein should also be subjected to the Heavenly Venerate's consciousness invasion.

Investing so much is just to let Klein keep up with his own pace.

The struggle between Klein and the Heavenly Venerate's consciousness will leave them no time to manage the Source Castle or mobilize power to hide its coordinates; only then will Jiang Xuan have a chance to find the true Source Castle.

Don't look at how Jiang Xuan can now enter the Gray Fog above the Source Castle—that's only because he enters through Klein as a coordinate, not much different from how other Tarot Club members enter; it's just that others lack sufficient mental power and can only be pulled in, while Jiang Xuan can enter actively.

After all, the Source Castle is the Source Quality of one of the Three Pillars, the Heavenly Venerate, possessing all characteristics of the "Fool," "Error," and "Door" pathways, complete Concealment Authority, Spatial Waymarks, and loopholes for Rule Theft; with these three abilities stacked, as long as the Source Castle does not actively appear, no one can find its specific location on this land.

Dismissing the stray thoughts in his mind, Jiang Xuan suddenly thought: back then, Amon never seriously went after Klein, and Adam had helped Klein some—wasn't that a bit like raising chickens?

Driving the stray thoughts from his heart, Jiang Xuan stepped into a pub in Backlund; right in the center of the pub stood a cage similar to an Octagon Cage, inside which two captives from Baiam were fighting, while gentlemen beside the tables waved their Betting Tickets and shouted excitedly.

The gentlemen's bodies stiffened, but after a fraction of a second they returned to normal, merely squeezing to the side to free up a seat for one person.

Jiang Xuan instantly appeared on the squeezed-out seat and raised a hand to remove his black top hat.

The original bartender timely pushed over a cup of pale yellow wine: "Please enjoy, sir!"

The mad gamblers beside him shoved each other, letting out fierce roars, but not one would touch Jiang Xuan, as if ignoring his existence.

"Too weak! How dare they oppose our great Loen Kingdom!"

"Get up! Dig out his eyes! Soldiers who can be captured alive are indeed all weaklings!"

"Damn it! You'll make me lose twenty pounds!"

"How's the situation at the front? If they're all this weak, I want to sign up for the assault team too!"

"The front is still deadlocked! But victory is only a matter of time!"

……

Jiang Xuan downed the pale yellow wine in his cup, left two Silver Coins, and vanished from the seat.

Reappearing, he stood above a vast battlefield; battle cries, gunpowder, and cannon fire surged across the entire sky, dense crowds collided, producing deafening roars and screams.

Among the crowd were not only ordinary people but many Beyonders weaving through, like the Evernight God of Death reaping souls.

Looking down on the entire battlefield from above, Jiang Xuan did not wish to stop the battle, as if waiting for something.

Although the Twilight Hermit Order fanned the flames behind this battle, there were also long-standing grudges between the two sides; a battle was inevitable, and only the later God War was deliberately influenced by the Twilight Hermit Order.

Overall, Loen did not hold the advantage but was retreating step by step.

The previous bloody gladiatorial spectacle of Loen was meant to eliminate people's fear of the Baiam army so they could recruit more soldiers to the front.

Besides Backlund, other places had long since begun conscription, hoping to rely on numbers to hold out for a while.

Jiang Xuan, overlooking the war from the sky, could tell that there were many believers of the God of War in this war, and every victory was closely related to powerful God of War believers.

Loen, as the base of Evernight Goddess believers, the God of War wanted to first remove some of the Evernight Goddess's anchors to gain advantage in the later Divine Kingdom Collision, so he sent many believers to join this war.

It's just that the Evernight Goddess has not noticed yet, or rather, the Evernight Church has not discovered it, to alert the Evernight Goddess.

But Jiang Xuan, knowing the plot, knew that whether she was alert or not didn't matter; the Evernight Goddess possessed part of the Moon Authority and complete Evernight Authority, so even if she lost half her anchors, she would still win the God War.

Jiang Xuan simply extracted and transmitted part of what he saw to the Evernight Goddess: "Look! The Church of the God of War wants to mess with you! I heard the Church of Steam is involved too!"

The Evernight Goddess's Deeply Knowing Heavenly Kingdom was much easier to find than the Source Castle; after obtaining part of the "Door" rules from the Old Ones' Box, Jiang Xuan found the location of the Deeply Knowing Heavenly Kingdom.

After delivering the message, Jiang Xuan remained in the air watching the battle; he wanted to find the key to breaking the deadlock during the fight.

With Jiang Xuan's reminder, in the second wave of support two days later, many Evernight Church priests and Enforcer Teams were added to Loen's army!

With the addition of these Supernatural Powers, the originally one-sided war was forcibly halted, and the battlefield changed from the screams of cannons to eerie howls.

The God War had not yet begun, the two Divine Kingdoms had not collided, and the originally set plot had some changes; Jiang Xuan raised his spirit, his divine sense completely enveloping the entire battlefield, focusing his attention on the changes within.

Finally, two cultivators in Yellow Robes walked out of a certain Void, holding a thick book in their hands, as if recording all of history.

"Found you!" A smile of certain victory curled Jiang Xuan's lips; his body instantly appeared before the two cultivators, the surrounding space twisting and accumulating, the embryonic form of a Domain completely isolating the two people within this sealed space.

Just as the two Twilight Hermit Order members raised the heavy pages in their hands, a man in black formal wear suddenly appeared before them, exuding a very refined and elegant gentlemanly air.

"Greetings, gentlemen! May I know how to find Adam?" Jiang Xuan said, tipping his hat in salute.

The two men's eyes instantly shrank; the other party had actually brought up Adam's True Name voluntarily! They would surely be watched by Adam!

"We are just ordinary…… from Baiam……"

A white light flashed in Jiang Xuan's hand; the speaking member widened his eyes and fell stiffly to the ground, his face full of disbelief!

Jiang Xuan then looked at the member holding the heavy book, still wearing a gentle smile: "I don't like people who lie and talk nonsense!"

"The Angel King won't let you go! The moment you spoke his name, he already noticed you!"

"Sigh!" Jiang Xuan sighed: "You could have just told me how to find him! Why make me find him myself with all this nonsense!"

The yellow-robed cultivator closed his eyes; when he opened them again, a glint of gold shone within: "My Decree: I shall escape……"

He had only spoken half when it stuck as if jammed, his eyes full of confusion, not knowing what to say next.

The golden light in his eyes slowly dissipated; the cultivator stood in place holding the book.

"In the Concealment Domain, how did he know I was looking for him?"

Concealment counters Omniscience; although Jiang Xuan's Domain was not fully formed, Adam had not yet become a god and could not know what was inside through Mystery Space, just as Klein discussing any True God above the Gray Mist would not attract the attention of True Gods or Old Ones.

"You Twilight Hermit Order members, wanting to find Adam is actually this troublesome?" Jiang Xuan directly stole his memories, but the information gained was disappointing.

Twilight Hermit Order members wanting to contact Adam could only call out to him in their hearts as believers, waiting for Adam's response, then establish contact.

Jiang Xuan calling out to Adam in his heart? Adam responding to Jiang Xuan's call? That would be strange!

Looking at the now idiotic cultivator, Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of another method.

Most core members of the Twilight Hermit Order were Primitive Believers accumulated by Adam, and this yellow-robed cultivator was no exception.

After the souls of Primitive Believers die, they actively return to the side of the god they believe in, becoming believers of that god in his Divine Kingdom.

But the problem now is that Adam has not yet become a god; would the souls of such believers return to Adam's side after death?

Jiang Xuan took out a Silver Coin, lightly tossed it in the air; the coin landed in his hand, heads up, indicating yes!

Although it was impossible to divine the location of an Angel King, divining this kind of possibility was quite feasible.

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up; he sent a thread of mental power to attach to its soul, which had always had no thoughts, and casually slit its throat.

As members of the Twilight Hermit Order died, Jiang Xuan's figure instantly vanished from the skies above the battlefield, drawn at extreme speed toward the soul attached within his Concealment Domain.

Following the soul's guidance, Jiang Xuan actually arrived at the God-Abandoned Land once more.

Passing through endless darkness, a solitary White Bone Cathedral appeared in his sight; whether its foundation or the towering Western Cathedral, everything was made of layer upon layer of white bones, and from within faintly came gentle chanting.

Sensing that dead soul, Jiang Xuan ignored the cathedral's obstruction and charged straight inside, then stepped into the cathedral region and slowly pushed open the cathedral interior made entirely of leg bones.

Adam sat on the ground made of white bones just as he had first been seen, his expression friendly like an old man who had seen through all the red dust of the world.

But if you really take him for a good person, you will surely die a miserable death!

"Hello! I've seen you so many times! I still don't know your name!" Adam laughed.

"Jiang Xuan!"

"Jiang Xuan?" Adam frowned, sounding out these two unfamiliar words, not thinking they could actually form a surname: "What a strange name!"

Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Adam's expression, not knowing whether Adam truly didn't know or was pretending.

Just hearing this name, one could tell it was an Eastern name; since Adam had been invaded by the consciousness of the Ancient Sun God, he shouldn't not know these things, after all, the Ancient Sun God was also one who awakened from Chernobyl.

"You seem very surprised that I haven't heard of your name!" Adam laughed.

"I'm just surprised that as the Ancient Sun God, you haven't heard of a name like mine!" Jiang Xuan lightly laughed.

"You're talking about my father? He might really have heard of it!"

Jiang Xuan shook his head; whether Adam was the Ancient Sun God actually didn't matter, what mattered was that he needed the Uniqueness of a "Dreamer," and he must not let the Ancient Sun God be revived!

Just as he was about to act, he discovered his body was actually constrained, and only his consciousness could move.

"Your body already possesses the Sequence Rules of three Concealment Authorities; why must you covet the Chaos Sea? After I become a god, I can help you control the Source Castle!" Adam held a thin book in one hand and a pen in the other, lightly writing words on the book.

Jiang Xuan's divine sense surged, and the "Writer" Rule instantly broke through the eerie influence within the Subconscious Island, but his body was still constrained by Rules and could not move.

"Because you absorbed this Writer Rule, I can only replace it with other Same Origin Sequences at a great cost; fortunately, I had already mastered these Sequences before!" A strange light flickered in Adam's eyes as he stared at the "Writer" Rules colliding in the Subconscious Sea.

Jiang Xuan nodded vigorously: "This is a done deal! This is the Ancient Sun God! Adam definitely hasn't mastered other Sequences; only the Ancient Sun God at his peak almost controlled everything of God!"

"Let There Be Light!"

A Divine Light shone from the White Bone Cathedral upon the surrounding darkness, actually causing the cathedral built of white bones to reveal a holy appearance. It was not just a radiance, but also carried the scorching power from the sun.

"The power of a True God briefly descends upon me!"

The book before him emitted a strong radiance; golden light flickered in Adam's eyes, and his golden hair moved without wind.

Endless Black-Gold Flames surged from the Eight Trigrams Furnace within Jiang Xuan's body, drawing all Rule Power around his body into the furnace to slowly refine.

"Borrowed things are false!" Jiang Xuan lightly waved the Fate Manipulation, pointing out the Error to crack it, and Adam's aura began to plummet once more.

"You have actually become an erroneous True God! Whose Godhood Ritual did you steal!" Though there was no fluctuation in Adam's gaze, his words already revealed his inner unrest.

"No! If anyone were to become a god, I would definitely know! Now there is no one of other Sequences who can become a god!"

Jiang Xuan was unwilling to waste words; the Immortal Trapping Sword shot out from within his body.

The Immortal Trapping Sword could completely fuse with all matter to strike out; now the flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace just happened to suppress Rules, and using the Immortal Trapping Sword together with Red Gold Flame could achieve an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Dark Gold Flames gradually climbed onto the Immortal Trapping Sword, being gradually absorbed by the Immortal Trapping Sword; the original crimson of the sword body gradually transformed into crimson.

The long sword in his hand slowly waved forward; the entire cathedral emitted a "creak" of being unable to bear the weight, and the Black Red Sword Radiance dyed the original white bones pitch black.

"I decree, this attack will be dodged by me!"

This sword's power was too great, and Adam's True God state had been modified by Jiang Xuan using Error Modification; he could only say that he had dodged this sword radiance.

But if he said he blocked it, or even that it automatically dissipated, his power would be completely drained by that very statement!

"Error Correction" Jiang Xuan's Concealment Domain emerged; everything around could be considered an Error Modification!

"Dodge Equals Hit!"

Exactly! It's just that unreasonable! In my domain, you say you dodged it, but actually you were hit!
