I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

The "beep" in his head was particularly clear. After a while, Chen Zhong's smile became more and more public (he made a jittery voice in his heart).

This meeting is an annual event of the Pantheon Cult. There is plenty of time and Chen Zhong has many opportunities. Not all of them signed the contract during the first group reading, but there is no rush.

Because everyone has to pray under the statue of the god in front, and the content of the prayer is also a sacred scripture.

As for Chen Zhong, under Leon's arrangement, he was transferred to serve as a guard next to the statue.

This stop lasted half a day.

When the sun rose to its highest point, the luncheon began. Rows of exquisite silver dining carts were rolled out, with fragrant food placed on them.

Pork legs that were slightly burnt and oily, braised carrots and beef brisket, grilled to medium-rare steaks, and edelweed-like herb salad...

Every piece of food is decorated with dazzling diamond jewelry, and even the dinner plates are made of jade.

Extremely luxurious!

It is said that the name must be worthy of God, because they are all servants of God. God’s servants cannot be shabby. It is natural for God’s servants to be shrouded in gold and silver.

This is the Theocratic Empire, a country controlled by the so-called Holy See. The servants of the gods cover the sky with only one hand. Mortals see no hope, so they scramble to climb up.

After all, it is a vicious cycle. In fact, there is no need for other forces to take care of it. In less than a hundred years, the framework of the divine empire will inevitably undergo major changes.

The Pantheon Religion may not perish, but the Religion Empire will definitely disappear, and then a new Religion Empire will grow out of the ruins.

Chen Zhong had no appetite at the moment. His attention was entirely on the church, observing the entrances of multiple corridors to confirm whether there were monitoring equipment.

Being in the enemy's tiger's den, even if he was a clone, Chen Zhong could not help but feel nervous. What's more, there was a powerful person on the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm in this building, so it was not an exaggeration to be 100,000 percent alert.

Chen Zhong didn't want to be exposed, and he didn't want his hard work to be in vain. In the past, he could have considered it in the long term, but now Chen Zhong always feels a deep uneasiness in his heart. He has a premonition that something will happen in the near future. disaster.

Before the disaster really strikes, he must ensure that he has enough strength to resist it. It is better to prepare for a rainy day now than to be caught off guard later and end up with regrets.

He hoped that this was just his imagination, but as time passed, countless scattered fragments would appear in his dreams after falling asleep late at night.

War smoke is everywhere and blood is everywhere.

The spiritual power is tyrannical and the victims are mourned thousands of miles away.

Rivers are blocked by the deposition of corpses, and mountains and rivers collapse by the fragmentation of space.

The already fragmented world is becoming more and more disintegrated, and the black ocean gushes out from four terrifying exits, swallowing all living things.

The unreal screams and explosions were so noisy that Chen Zhong couldn't sleep. He was woken up in the early hours of the morning. When he regained consciousness, his vest had already been soaked with cold sweat.

The unprecedented fear caused Chen Zhong to hate sleep, so... he hadn't slept for half a month.

Fortunately, I am already in the Xiaocheng state, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Chen Zhong is indeed protecting himself, but in a certain sense, he is also saving the world and unifying his own forces. Only in this way can he have a better chance of winning against future disasters. Otherwise, it will be like this now. , get a hammer!

Suddenly, the sudden silence of reality brought his thoughts back.

Chen Zhong, like everyone else, stood dignifiedly among the crowd, not standing out.

In front, Leon and several other grand masters greeted someone's appearance.

The Lord of All Gods—Adam!

This is a man who looks like he came out of a fairy tale book. He has long, slightly curly golden hair, three-dimensional cheeks like a knife and axe, and a soft smile. He is dressed in a simple white robe and has branches and leaves on his wrists. Knitted bracelets, a pair of feet without shoes, stepping directly on the ground.

If you look closely, you will find that his feet are actually two centimeters off the ground, walking suspended in mid-air.

"All the gods have brought blessings, created the world, sown civilization, and spread spiritual power. This has resulted in all the happiness we have today. Everyone, thank God for his grace!"

Adam spoke sincerely, and as he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and looked at the statue of God devoutly.

"Grateful for God's grace!"

"Grateful for God's grace!"

Everyone followed the words and deeds, trembling and roaring.

Chen Zhong was also forced to kneel on one knee and silently waited for the next process.

Adam looked around, then faced everyone, opened the pages of the holy book, and began to recite without blinking.

"Great master..."

Chen Zhong's heartbeat gradually accelerated, he pulled the brim of his hat down, and murmured in a low voice, "Eh..."

"The master will tell us where the meaning of life lies. The master's warning is the embodiment of the rules of the universe..."

"Eh... eh..."

Chen was a little anxious, because the sacred scripture was about to be read. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to seize the opportunity next time.

After all, Adam doesn’t hold the Bible and recite scriptures in church every day, and the last time he showed up was last month!

As a leader at the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm, his more important task is to reach the bottleneck, climb the ladder when he is about to break through, and advance to the Ladder Realm as quickly as possible after entering the upper realm.

To him, so what if a mere pantheon of gods is just a tool to satisfy his desires and achieve his goals. You must know that the original intention of its establishment was to assist in cultivation and revenge.

Beep!

The contract is being signed... The host please wait patiently.

Chen Zhong was stunned. What was going on?

Why was there a statement that "it was being signed"?

Wait patiently?

How to wait!

Especially when he saw Adam raised his head in anger, he realized that things were not going well.

The ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm was indeed not easy to deal with. Even the divine skills library needed some delay time.

"Who is it! Who is blaspheming the divine power!"

Adam's body was radiant with real golden light, and the two spiritual powers of gold and light quickly gushed out.

He floated high in the sky of the church and looked down from above.

Adam was more panicked than Chen Zhong at this moment. He had never felt this way in his life for hundreds of years. This oppression made him even want to breathe. It seemed that he would lose his body and soul in the next second and become a puppet of others.

Especially the gradual numbness, from soul to body, from inside to outside, Adam was extremely frightened.

At this moment, he imagined countless plots in his mind:

Could it be someone from the upper realm? But I didn't offend those people!

Or... Ni Hengxiu!

It shouldn't be, I've been beaten by him, his style is not like this.

No, it's right in front of me!

So he searched quickly and soon locked Chen Zhong.

Without caring about the subordinates around him, Adam directly threw out a ball of pure spiritual power.

Bang--

With just one blow, half of the old church was gone, and a huge pit with a depth of more than 5,000 meters appeared below.

Adam's control is still very good. Even at this moment, he still ensured that most of his subordinates were not affected.

(Although that part was already Chen Zhong's servants.)

And those around Chen Zhong who were killed instantly, almost all of them failed to sign a contract.

So, Adam's operation was really wonderful. If it weren't for the unsuitable venue, Chen Zhong would applaud and cheer for him.

Beep!

The target and the host are too different in strength, and the power of rules cannot be fully gushed out, so it takes time to load.

Beep!

The progress of contract signing is 70% complete, and the soul thread is being constructed.

Chen Zhong's hair stood up, his Xuanwu body was fully opened, and more than 900 defensive talismans were activated without hesitation, and more than 100 third-grade defensive spiritual tools became disposable consumables.

Even with all these preparations, Chen Zhong still had no idea, this was just a normal attack from Adam!

With his Shenxing Dun running at 100%, Chen Zhong shuttled like a meteor, and escaped from danger in a panic.

Beep!

Progress 79%.

Adam was very solemn when he saw that Chen Zhong was not dead, but he didn't say much and dived straight down.

Boom!

Endless golden streams gathered behind him, and an ancient giant followed Adam forward and pushed out with one palm.

Wow——

The ground was blown up thousands of meters of dust, covering the sky and the sun.

Boom!

Adam frowned and found something wrong.

When the dust cleared, he was shocked to find that the one who caught his move was actually Leon, whom he trusted very much.

At this moment, Leon was covered in wounds. With just one move, he lost his mobility and was seriously injured.

Beep!

Improved by 90%.

He wanted to finish off Leon, but the sudden surge of pressure made Adam aim at Chen Zhong again.

Solve the source first!

"Hu... Hu..."

Chen Zhong was panting, his heart was about to jump out.

Now he has a comprehensive understanding of the Grandmaster Realm. Under the suppression of the master-servant contract, Adam can only exert less than 50% of his strength.

However, this less than 50% made him run around with his head in his hands, without any ability to fight back.

"Again?!" Chen Zhong gritted his teeth, his spiritual power surged wildly in his body, his Xuanwu body was overloaded, and the phantom of the dragon turtle from the Hongmeng period appeared behind him.

The next second, Adam's God's Cross Judgment came.

The crossed rune light blades hit the phantom, and the surrounding space immediately twisted, and cracks appeared little by little.

The Xuanwu body only lasted for three seconds, and the cross slashed Chen Zhong's chest.

Buzz!

A soft halo suddenly covered the whole body, and the body was filled with the fragrance of medicine.

Under Chen Zhong's subjective control, the fifth-grade golden body pill given by Bai Qinglian took effect, and the medicinal effect was transferred from the main body to the clone.

Bang!

Chen Zhong was knocked away, crashed through the wall, flew out of the church, and rolled all the way for more than a thousand meters before stopping face-down.

Adam was shocked, what the hell is this?

Obviously, it has no combat power, but it has relied on its terrible defense and tenacious life to resist a few of its own moves!

Beep!

Trigger "Villain Talks Too Much"!

Adam, who should have finished the knife immediately, paused, "Blasphemer, you will feel repentant for your mistakes today, I represent God... Uh? What's going on..."

Thanks to these two short seconds, Chen Zhong's trip came to a successful conclusion.

Beep!

Progress 100%!

The master-servant contract is reached!

Adam froze in place, his eyes changing from confused to determined.

"Master! Sorry, I was confused, I was stupid! I actually attacked you for those evil gods, I am unforgivable, I deserve to die!"

Adam stood up, reached back, and a stream of light flew out, completely blowing up the old church a kilometer away.

Fortunately, those servants of Chen Zhong had already run out.

"Hehe!" Chen Zhong collapsed on the ground, stretched out his limbs and breathed comfortably.

He had thousands of words to complain, but in the end, he turned into a few "hehe" to express the complex joy in his heart.

Adam landed in front of Chen Zhong and carefully helped him up. The two completely different faces gave Chen Zhong a great shock.

This is not some little trash, but one of the strongest people in the lower world, the boss of one of the seven major forces, and an old monster who has been in the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm for many years!

Such a person has fallen into the hands of passive skills. Thinking of this, Chen Zhong hurriedly checked the soul thread between himself and Adam.

It is tougher than others, and the thickness alone is several times that of others. Obviously, the God Skill Library has spent more energy to imprison and perfect it.

This kind of thing can't be risked next time.

Fortunately, it is a clone, otherwise I would be tap dancing on the head of the god of death.

"Master, what do you want!"

Adam knelt on one knee.

Behind him, millions of high-level God Church leaders also knelt down and surrendered, absolutely loyal.

"Everything remains the same, and the affairs of the church should not be changed in general, but don't participate in various disputes. Be restrained if you can, and don't offend the Red Flame Empire and deepen the alliance with the White Tower Federation." Chen Zhong exhorted.

At this moment, Chen Zhong truly ascended the throne behind the scenes of the world!

The next day

In just one night, the old church was completely renovated.

Everyone worked normally at their posts, as if nothing had happened.

A jeep drove away from the church and entered the highway. Leon was driving and Chen Zhong was sitting in the back.

"Twenty-seven retired priests of the Pantheon live in the Siberian Ice Forest. We will probably arrive the day after tomorrow." Leon chatted with Chen Zhong and explained more secrets of the Pantheon to him.

"Oh, the hunting order for the Crow Cult has also been lifted." Chen Zhong then remembered the girl Wulan.

Quietly, he helped her get revenge in a sense. After all, Adam and others were just tools in his eyes.

Don't blame him for being ruthless and righteous. After all, which of these people is not a heinous evil person?

Simple evil people are okay. Chen Zhong often feels that he is also an evil person, but the kind who does all kinds of bad things and has no bottom line, Chen Zhong also hates it.

The jeep was printed with the Pantheism logo, so it was unobstructed along the way. Not to mention the city guards, even the crazy scavengers in the ice field could recognize it and dared not block it.

"Siberia?" Chen Zhong looked at the white forest on one side of the road, his tone inexplicable.

"Has the master been here?" Leon asked curiously.

"No, I just heard about it before," Chen Zhong replied indifferently, "I heard about it a thousand years ago."

Tsk---

With a sudden brake, Leon looked at Chen Zhong in disbelief, "Thousands... thousands of years ago."

Chen Zhong pretended to be calm, "What? Is there a problem?"

Leon was frightened and stunned, "Oh, no problem."

Chen Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, but Chen Zhong knew very well that Leon's speed was erratic and his eyes were wide open.

Two days later, they arrived at the Ice Forest.

It was called a forest, but in fact it was an endless river of ice crystals and snow. From a distance, it was a lush forest.

Entering the forest entrance, twenty-seven priests were waiting here early.

They were all old men and women with gray hair, but all of them were above the middle stage of the Soul Tempering Realm, and the strongest one was still at the first level of the Grandmaster Realm!

Chen Zhong's goal of coming here was very simple, one was to subdue these people, and the other was to find out what was hidden in the secret place of the Pantheon.
