I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Looking at the situation around him, Roland felt a mix of emotions. He sighed and said, "We really did a bad thing today."

Shaking his head, Roland didn't know what he suddenly thought of, and his expression slowly became solemn.

This was just a small Aurelie—she was reincarnated into this world with only Tier 2 strength and a bit of divinity.

Yet, such a small Aurelie used only a little over ten minutes to exterminate all living things in an entire province.

If the human traitors in this world find what they want in this ruin and then open the passage to the God Realm,

what will happen when the true bodies of the gods descend?

Roland said to himself, "Roland, ah, Roland, you can't participate in the upcoming archaeology with the church anymore.

You are just a small Tier 2 wizard; participating in the later stages won't help.

Dealing with this garden and leaving a way out for everyone is your limit.

The archaeology later on will be a battlefield for demigods and even gods.

That's a war of gods!

You can't help. Who do you think you are? Do you really think of yourself as the savior of the evil cult?"

Shaking off the messy thoughts, Roland floated up. He took out his wand and waved it, and the surrounding sand gradually flew to his side.

After a moment, a wide sand ring appeared within a ten-meter radius around him.

The sand ring reflected a dazzling fluorescence under the brilliant 'sunlight'.

Another incantation, and many strange things gradually rose from the flat sand ring—those were piles of stones of various sizes.

The map didn't show any plants, only 'stones'—the former ruins only had stones left, so showing stones would reveal whether there were any ruins nearby.

After carefully observing for a while, Roland found many things resembling buildings in the sand map.

Among them, a huge pile of stones in the east was the most conspicuous—it looked like a flat-topped pyramid!

Roland flew towards the east.

In Roland's magic, the sand map gradually changed its appearance as he moved. As he flew east, the map continuously showed the new terrain in the east, while the content in the west of the map gradually disappeared.

Soon, the 'stone pile' in the east of the map looked more and more like a building. Before long, all four directions of the map had the remains of buildings!

Roland was shocked to discover that the so-called ruin was a city centered on a pyramid!

This city was very strange. It was large, but there were only five or six buildings in total!

However, each building was very large, so much so that it still left some traces after tens of thousands of years.

Suddenly, Roland realized a problem.

He said, "No! It's not a strange city. This is a magnificent kingdom!

It once had thousands upon thousands of buildings, arranged as densely as fish scales in the city.

It was very rich and very powerful, so much so that the people of the kingdom created several great wonders in the city!"

These wonders were all built with giant stones, so they preserved a little bit of their former traces.

The other traces have been completely smoothed out by the years."

Roland destroyed the surrounding sand ring and flew towards the pyramid.

As he passed through a large and dense thicket of plants, a strange flat-topped hill covered with various plants appeared before him.

In addition to many beautiful plants, there were also many trees and huge vines on this hill. Many areas above it were even covered by dense canopies.

If you hadn't seen the map, you would definitely think of it as a strange hill.

After flying around it, Roland saw a large hole five or six meters wide in the mountain. There were no plants near the hole, and the opening was relatively flat, not a natural collapse.

Moreover, there were many coarse mineral crystal particles near the entrance. It seemed that a certain biological group had constructed it with high-temperature acid. It looked like the entrance to an ant nest.

Those mineral crystal particles were very large, many of them the size of a palm. It seemed that the insects that built them were also very huge.

Suddenly, Roland thought of something—Abyssal Maggots.

The once glorious kingdom no longer existed, but another inconspicuous group of mealworms had grown into a new empire.

Mealworms developing civilization should have taken hundreds of millions of years of evolution, but under the radiation of the Yan River and the intervention of a certain great will, the time was shortened to thousands of years.

Subsequently, the once glorious kingdom was destroyed in this way.

—The above was all Roland's speculation. He believed that this kingdom was destroyed by Tukala and the Maggots.

Roland stood in front of the large hole and observed for a while, then a look of doubt appeared on his face.

He released a very simple 'light bullet' and threw it into the hole. The light bullet flew more than ten meters in the darkness and hit a wall, and then the light bullet dissipated.

Roland couldn't help but frown slightly.

He thought to himself, 'The inside of the ruins seems to be coated with a strange substance. The magic resistance and radiation resistance of these substances are very high.

This is an excellent shelter. Aurora is unable to effectively kill the Maggots inside.'

After examining the crystals at the entrance, Roland's eyes moved slightly. He took out the materials that Aurelie had given him before and compared them with these crystals, and he suddenly discovered that Aurelie's materials came from here.

She had been here before and had already cleared out the monsters of dawn once.

"I wonder how long Senior Sister and the others will need. Should I wait for her for a while?"

Roland planned to contact his Senior Sister to see if she was coming this way.

After taking out the parchment, Roland saw a line of words on it.

["We have arrived, where are you?"]

Roland put the coordinates that Diana had given him on the parchment.

["Hurry, I found a great treasure!"]

After waiting in place for a while, Roland didn't see a reply, so he called out Diana and the others and entered the hole together.

On the other side.

The huge tree stump continued to flicker with light and shadow. One after another, huge Naga Temple Guards and Naga Sea Witches walked down the tree stump.

Looking around, there were already hundreds of sea creatures nearby. Among them, one-third of the people had reached Tier 2 or above!

On the grass not far away, a huge snake-bodied woman excitedly looked up at the sky.

"Good place, really a good place. This place is simply made for the sea race!

It's a pity that Father didn't come in person, otherwise he would have been even happier."

Beside her stood the pair of sisters.

The equipment and bags of the two sisters had been taken away. Several Naga Sea Witches in the late stage of Tier 2 were also standing around, and every move was under the surveillance of the Hydra.

It seemed that although the Hydra suspected that the two people might not be Catherine and Anna, they were not sure. Therefore, they not only sent people to take care of them, but also did not allow them to leave Faqi too far.

It seemed that Faqi valued them very much.

On the other side of Faqi, an old church high priest and a group of church paladins and priests were floating.

These knights and priests all called this person 'Great Prophet'.

The Great Prophet's face was very kind and kind, and he exuded a compassionate temperament.

The Great Prophet said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a place in this ruin. Your Highness Faqi, as I said, Marode is the most suitable as the future headquarters of the Hydra."

"Um."

Faqi restrained the smile on her face and said, "Marquis. The Sea God supports the Old Church. Don't worry, Father will fulfill his promise to you later."

It seemed that this group of people were the cultists hidden in the archaeological team.

The Hydra seemed to mistakenly think that this group of cultists were still doing the old tricks. They didn't know that the Old Church had now been divided into three factions.

They are the Divine Descent Faction, the God Creation Faction, and the Foolish Faction.

The two sisters had previously told Roland about the Divine Descent Faction and the God Creation Faction, but they had never dared to mention the Foolish Faction. This was precisely because this faction was the real evil cult.

In the process of this Great Prophet talking to Faqi, the two sisters had been secretly observing the priests and knights around the Great Prophet.

Their faces were very ugly.

The people of the Foolish Faction acted very secretly, and few people could distinguish their true identities. Their usual words and deeds were no different from those of normal believers of the Old Church.

However, the two sisters, as high-level members of the Old Church, could distinguish from the tone of these people—reforming the New Church, correcting this distorted world, believing in the Merciful Holy Mother, and following the Holy Son.

When chatting with certain people, if they found that they mentioned two of these four things, then they were likely to be people of the Foolish Faction.

These people accounted for all of them.

Unlike the two sisters' 'God Creation Faction', the people of the Foolish Faction were a group of real lunatics.

They abide by an ancient doctrine, believing that the world is constantly reincarnating, and that people are struggling sufferers imprisoned in this great reincarnation.

Therefore, the whole world is perverted and needs to be corrected.

The way to correct it is to completely destroy this world and end all pain.

Although the world will be destroyed, believers will live forever.

Because everyone is one person, they are all part of God.

As long as the world is completely destroyed, God will be liberated, and they will all return to God's embrace and enjoy the bliss of heaven.

The other two cults believed this statement to be incorrect, a foolish interpretation of the old scriptures.

The so-called reincarnation should refer to the 'bubble' of this world, not the main world itself.

But the Foolish Sect revered it as a sacred text, and everything they did ultimately served only one purpose: to destroy others and themselves.

Whenever the two sisters looked at the Great Prophet, their eyes were filled with doubt.

It seemed they didn't think this was the Great Prophet, yet they couldn't be sure.

But regardless, the two sisters believed the Great Prophet belonged to the 'God-Making Faction' rather than the Foolish Sect. At least, the Great Prophet who had been communicating with them was from the God-Making Faction.

In any case, the two sisters could sense that this Great Prophet was definitely not someone who had replaced the real one, masquerading as the Great Prophet.

This person was a leader of the heretics within the Foolish Sect.

The younger sister looked at her elder sister, conveying a thought in her mind: ["Sister, the Naga seem to be colluding with the heretics! What are we going to do?"]

The elder sister responded: ["Shut up, Rona. Don't forget you're a heretic too!"]

The younger sister said: ["I'm not, I'm Anna now!"]

The elder sister said with a grim expression: ["Shut up, you idiot! No matter who they think we are, we're doomed.

These lunatics, they plan to help the Naga submerge the entire Marode! They're crazy, completely crazy!

What's worse, many of our people are involved. It's all over! Our people all think he's the Great Prophet who contacted us before!

This means that all the members of the Old Religion in the ruins are supporting the Naga!"]

The followers of the Sea God were also followers of the gods, and they also supported the Great Judgment.

But this judgment was led by the Sea God. It would be more thorough and would absolutely guarantee that only those who believed in the Sea God would survive.

Because when the Sea God's divine body descended, the continents of the entire world would be submerged in the sea, turning into a world of ocean.

The Sun God and other gods had taken turns managing this ranch for many, many years.

The Sea God also wanted to manage this ranch and raise some fish.

The Foolish Sect didn't want this place to become anyone's ranch, hoping that the creatures in the ocean would die together with the creatures on land. They hoped the entire world could completely end, like that world of finality.

But they strongly supported the Naga.

Because they could help the sect destroy the people of the Holy See. Once those people were dead, these Naga would be nothing.

The Sea God they believed in had never been on the table. These followers of the Sea God weren't worthy of competing with the Foolish Sect for what was behind the last door in the ruins.

Faki and the Great Prophet each had their own plans. After chatting for a while, the Great Prophet said, "Your Highness Faki, please handle the matters here as soon as possible.

Although I don't agree with wasting time exploring this place at this crucial time, please feel free to order me if you need anything."

After speaking, the Great Prophet led his subordinates aside to pray and meditate.

Faki sneered coldly in her heart.

Without that Roland, what was the point of going to the last door?

After thinking for a moment, Faki ordered someone to retrieve Catherine's parchment.

Then, she put on a kind expression and looked down at the two sisters beside her.

She said cheerfully, as if singing a song, "Dear Miss Catherine, are you really not planning to cooperate?"

The so-called Miss Catherine's expression was very ugly upon hearing this.

She really didn't want to cooperate, but even if she wanted to, she couldn't!

The elder sister closed her eyes and said, "Dream on."

At this moment, a Naga Sea Witch maid brought over the parchment. Faki unfolded it and looked at it, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

She said with a smile, "Forget it, I don't need you anymore. It seems I didn't read those letters in vain. My handwriting imitation is quite good."

As she spoke, she wrote a paragraph on it.

["Dear, I'll be right there."]

On the other side.

Roland never expected this situation.

So when he saw the latest content on the parchment, he happily replied: ["You're late, spank you."]

This time, the other side quickly replied: ["Heh heh heh heh."]

Roland blinked, feeling that his senior's tone was different today. After repeatedly checking the content on the parchment, Roland shook his head and put away the parchment.

Raising his head, Roland looked at the surrounding environment.

He was currently standing in a hall where the walls were covered in wriggling flesh.
