Chapter 454 -456: The Sun Disappeared

“Is the traitor planning an apocalypse? To think they’ve exiled so many uncontrollable faith inscriptions into the Main Material Plane,” Chen Mo felt a chill in his heart.

Not long ago, a massive deployment caused a large amount of Divine Power contamination throughout the Main Material Plane, bringing an abrupt halt to the prevailing chaos.

After all, with most people killed by these insane Divines, the chaos naturally dissipated with their deaths.

“It must be an issue with the Cradle Plan. Normally, faith inscriptions can’t even reach the Main Material Plane, at least… the faith inscriptions from the original Divine Project didn’t have this capability,” Duke Baishuang spoke with resignation in his voice.

Now, the whole territory was thriving. Everyone in the territory had been converted into members of the Three-eyed Clan, connected by the Mind Network, forming a collective entity without distinction between individuals.

“How’s Sam doing? Is he on his way yet?” Chen Mo changed the subject. He did not dwell too much on the insane Divines because it was not something he could deal with at this stage. A bunch of deranged level 7s, and him being just a level 5—was he supposed to bang his head against a wall?

Luckily, these mad Divines didn’t move after landing. They stood still as if they’d crashed, otherwise, if they’d acted like the Magic God back then, the world would have turned upside down by now.

Of course, this was under the assumption that they wouldn’t provoke them. They were the thorns in the side of the Cradle Plan, and to provoke them might drive them insane.

“The situation is not good. You know we are far too weak compared to him. Moreover, his blasphemous priests, following the Divine fall, were rendered useless, even the Book of the Sage and the Abyss Demon Net we obtained have disappeared,” Baishuang said helplessly.

With the fall of the Divine, both the Abyss Demon Net and the Book of the Sage malfunctioned, further confirming the identity of the Divine, just not which one of the mad gods it was.

Without these two cheats, both the Blasphemous Priests and the Abyss Mages were rendered useless—the former couldn’t steal Divine Power, and the latter couldn’t weave Chaos Magic.

They were essentially good as dead.

Relative to other Transcendents, they were still doing quite well. Many Transcendents went mad along with the Divine’s transformation into a mad god.

It was not an issue of devotion but one of feedback. Especially those high-ranking and powerful Popes and religious leaders, they were the first to go mad.

The higher the position, the stronger the power, which meant a closer connection to the Divine. So, they were the first to suffer the consequences.

On the contrary, the lower-level Transcendents, with a weaker connection to the Divine, felt the impact but many survived.

But that doesn’t mean that those strong Transcendents going mad makes the others the strongest in the world. It’s not that they’ve died but gone mad, their power remains, and they have become even more terrifying monsters tainted by Divine Power. Before, they were strong, but at least they played within the framework of the game. But now that they’ve gone mad, if encountered, it would mean certain death.

This news, undoubtedly, was bad rather than good for the Zijing Mountain Territory. They had no idea when a crazed believer might pop up and wipe them all out in one go.

“Try to get him here as soon as possible. He is still a compatriot, after all. Being so weak, staying outside is a dead end… Hmm? Have you noticed that the sun seems to be flickering?” As he spoke, Chen Mo suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Only then did Duke Baishuang look up, his expression gradually turning grave: “There’s trouble in the Divine Country. Damn it, what exactly did the Cradle Plan do back then? They couldn’t possibly have replaced the sun with a faith inscription base, could they?”

“Looking at it now, it’s not just the sun; the moon and other celestial bodies have probably been replaced as well. Yet, for such a grand plan, why is there no mention of it in our bloodline inheritance?” Chen Mo’s face turned extremely grim, knowing without doubt that it had been deliberately altered.

This sentiment quickly spread throughout the Mind Network, causing panic to surge.

However, a gentle force soon smoothed over the panic within all members of the Three-eyed Clan in the Mind Network, and calm descended swiftly.

Duke Baishuang was about to speak when the entire world suddenly darkened, swallowed by shadows. The sun had disappeared.

And it wasn’t just the sun that vanished, but a multitude of stars as well.

“The Divine Country has been destroyed,” Chen Mo said.

“Who did it, that’s important!” Shock appeared in Duke Baishuang’s face. This couldn’t have been a self-destruction— because self-destruction wouldn’t be this fast. It would happen progressively and decay slowly, meaning the light would fade gradually, not blackout all at once.

This was clearly influenced by an external force.

“Unclear, we don’t even know who the enemy is. It’d be helpful if we could make contact with another Lord—someone of the 6th order, a Divine Servant Level. Maybe they would know something,” Chen Mo had no other choice, he lacked the necessary permissions, so naturally, he couldn’t use the communication channels either.

“Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to figure out how to survive in the darkness, especially concerning food production. Without photosynthesis, ecological problems are sure to arise,” Duke Baishuang knew this was a severe issue.

“The food in the territory…”

“It’s sufficient for now, at least if it’s only our territory. The resource buildings that produce food in the territory should be enough, and at least they are not affected by the sun,” Chen Mo said before Duke Baishuang could finish asking.

But that was the limit; they could only guarantee the current supply. Now that his territory had industrialized, it needed a large population. They couldn’t stop developing. A hard landing would certainly be very damaging to their vigor, and for a soft landing, they’d need to calculate very carefully.

In the face of survival, many things could be compromised.

“I understand, I’ll make the necessary adjustments as soon as possible,” Duke Baishuang said, finally feeling helpless. He knew they were trapped in a vicious cycle.

To solve the sun’s disappearance, they needed to have sufficient technological levels, but to recover those levels, they needed time for development. And without the sun, their time for development was clearly gone.

As for plants that could survive in darkness without the sun, they might exist, but one thing was certain—there were none in their territory.

Developing such plants anew was even more outlandish; they might starve to death before successfully cultivating them.

Neither the Gendaya Civilization nor the current age had ever experienced problems with the sun.

So, of course, there was no corresponding technology, not until the sun was replaced with a faith state base, that is, Divine Country, did this problem emerge. freēnovelkiss.com

“If only I could obtain full authority over the territory, then at least I wouldn’t have to worry about food,” Chen Mo sighed. He didn’t know why this situation had arisen.

“Before that, we should brace ourselves for those out-of-control faith states. They are in essence, the main control systems of the orbit bases, but now that the orbit bases are gone and they have long been out of control, the darkest time might just be beginning,” Duke Baishuang astutely noted this point.

The Divine Country was in trouble, but what about the Divines? Although they had gone mad some time ago, the complete destruction of the Divine Country might still affect these mad gods.

“Under these circumstances, can we still perform investigations?” Chen Mo hesitated.

There were no mad gods in his vicinity, and the closest one was thousands of miles away, not having descended into his remote corner.

The bodies of the mad gods were vast, but so was the Main Material Plane. Therefore, if the mad gods did not move, at most, they would only bring havoc to about thirty percent of the area of the Main Material Plane.

If they moved, it was different since they were of the 7th order.

“Even if we can’t conduct investigations, we still have to try. If we can’t get a direct understanding of the detailed situation of these out-of-control faith states, once there is a change, we probably won’t have time to react,” Duke Baishuang said gravely.

Chen Mo just glanced at the dark sky while his territory was no longer dark—thanks to industrialization, electric lights were already widespread.

The other Nobles would naturally still be using the old-fashioned oil lamps, which the poor and serfs couldn’t afford; only Nobles could use them.

If there were no accidents and development continued, the Zijing Mountain Territory would sooner or later soar. Unfortunately, it was interrupted.

“Do you think that even if we conduct an investigation and find something, it would be of any use to react?” Chen Mo looked at the brightly lit territory, his tone filled with resignation.

The power disparity was too great; the enemy could crush them without any issue.

“And besides, under these circumstances, could anyone really travel that far? To sacrifice a clan member for just a bit of information, that’s not worth it.”
