Green Monster Epic

What Allen saw, and what his mental power radiation sensed, was that there were over a thousand clerical members active in this underground temple, showing that his Church of the Gluttonous God had already gained momentum, perhaps not weaker than many ancient cult forces.

Of course, this was understandable, considering that the number of his believers had reached over seventy thousand, and it was not surprising to select over a thousand clerical members from among them, although the overall proportion was indeed a bit too high, making the church structure seem somewhat bloated.

But this also reflected, from another perspective, that Albard, the head of the Church of the Gluttonous God, had great foresight and had already begun planning for the long term, reserving outstanding talents for the subsequent development of the church.

Through this lively and vibrant, yet orderly underground temple scene, Allen's mind was filled with thoughts, and he was also gratified that the helmsman he had chosen for the tribe and the church had not disappointed his expectations.

Continuing through the maze-like temple area, and then delving dozens of meters underground along a hidden passage, according to the new version of the map stored in the dimensional equipment, Allen finally managed to find the hall that Zerang and the others had specially prepared for him.

A black obsidian pillar, nearly one meter in diameter and smooth and regular throughout, passed through the thick stone layer from above, connecting with the divine throne beneath a statue of the Gluttonous God made of gold and other precious metals in this hall, which covered an area of more than three hundred square meters, forming a natural backdrop and setting off a solemn and majestic atmosphere.

The regulations of this temple were almost identical to the temple Allen had just passed through, and even the image of the statue in the hall and its placement were almost overlapping with the statue above the dozens of meters of stone layer, the only difference perhaps being that the statue in this bottom-most temple was smaller in size, with a height of only about five meters, far less grand than the statue in the temple above.

"Lord!!"

The newly built core temple was the meeting and deliberation place for Albard and a dozen of the highest-ranking priests of the Church of the Gluttonous God, and even few among the middle and high levels of the Church of the Gluttonous God knew of its existence, thus it had become an excellent place for Allen to choose to cultivate.

The most elite warriors had always been stationed in the dark hall, but when Allen, wearing a faceless mask, groped his way to this place and entered through the secret passage, no one doubted his identity in the slightest, only a warrior guarding the entrance of the passage sharply scanned Allen's face and clothes before bowing in salute.

And all of this stemmed from the divine robe that Allen himself was wearing, which was tailored for Allen, and the obscure magical vibration aura and the latent magic model under the robe were like keys, easily protecting Allen from passing through dozens of magical detections and traps along the way without triggering them.

It could be said that this seemingly simple divine robe on Allen's body was a condensation of the Green Field Tribe's highest achievements in alchemy and forging over the past hundreds of years, but Allen, as a hands-off shopkeeper, did not pay much attention to this and did not understand it very well, and at this time he was still somewhat surprised that the monitoring and management of this seemingly secret core area of the church seemed to be somewhat negligent.

"Mm."

Allen was puzzled, but did not show it. The protection design here was obviously not something that the few members on duty in front of him could decide, and asking them would not yield much, so it would be better to wait for Zerang to come back and ask him about it.

"Is there a quiet cultivation area here?"

"Yes, it's at the end of the passage behind the temple, about a hundred meters ahead there is a meditation room; and further ahead…"

"Alright, I got it!"

After receiving the introduction from the member on duty, Allen nodded slightly and then sent the other party back to duty.

Just as he was about to go to the back of the temple, when he walked to the eye-catching statue in the dark hall, Allen suddenly stopped, reaching out and placing his palm on the golden statue, startling the dozen or so auras hidden around the dark hall, causing them to stir slightly, but they quickly disappeared again.

Although the statue was an inanimate object, it represented the most revered and worshiped Gluttonous God in the hearts of every member of the underground temple, the one they regarded as their life. Although Allen was now wearing the divine robe of the highest-ranking member of the church, such behavior was inevitably somewhat blasphemous to the Lord God.

Allen did not think that his behavior was out of line, after all, the Gluttonous God himself represented himself, so what was wrong with him touching his own sculpture.

A vast ocean of faith power was deposited in the statue, originally flowing quietly in the statue, and then through the obsidian crystal core at the core of the statue, crossing the barrier of space, directly reaching Allen's new star in the distant starry sky. Now, as Allen placed his right palm on the cold gold, the flowing power of faith seemed to have been thrown into a terrifying behemoth, and suddenly stirred up in chaos, no longer controlled by invisible rules. The statue buzzed and vibrated, and a golden halo immediately appeared on the surface of the entire statue, and a sacred aura suddenly enveloped this not-so-large dark hall area.

Allen was also slightly startled, but quickly came to his senses. The vast mental power poured into the statue, and as the surging power of faith carrying Allen's will poured in, it was like a pet finding its master, and returned to calm according to the purpose of Allen's will.

The owners of the dozen or so auras in the dark were originally ready to move because of Allen's behavior and the strange phenomenon displayed by the statue, but just as they were about to act, the strange phenomenon of the statue suddenly disappeared, but a strange meaning slowly spread out with the actions of the high-level who was making the presumptuous behavior, making people feel at ease and tamed.

The power of faith carried Allen's mental power all the way, forming a river as white as milk in another unknown plane, crossing layers of plane barriers and space, until it came to the vast star that was breathing endless flames with Allen's heartbeat.

This was not the first time that Allen's will had appeared in front of this new star that had countless connections with him, but it was the first time that he had observed this vast star so clearly and intuitively at close range. The blazing and dangerous, yet dazzling flame layer on the surface of the star was now so warm and safe under Allen's conscious observation.

Even though Allen was now only about a few dozen meters away from the surface of the star, and the conscious body formed by mental power was surrounded by the blazing flames, he did not feel any discomfort, only the sense of security like being surrounded and protected by amniotic fluid.

With this rare opportunity, Allen manipulated the conscious body to constantly skim across the surface of the star, watching the light bands like rainbows rising and falling, and feeling the extremely terrifying energy fluctuations inside the star. Allen could not imagine how this star could really have such an important and close connection with the tiny self.
