Chapter 106: The Age of Godlessness

The rain of blood soon fell, confirming the ancient prophecy.

"Duke, the blood moon is ominous, don't touch it easily!"

Seeing Hudson walk out of the door, Affia hurriedly reminded.

The profession of soothsayer is a top-ranked existence among all high-risk professions in the mainland.

Not to mention the consumption of resources in cultivation, the personal combat strength is also weak, and it will suffer from the backlash of the Mandate of Heaven.

If you want to live long, you must find a reliable thigh to hold.

A boss like Hudson, who had kept them for several years and didn't have a single task, wasn't that easy to find.

"Don't worry, it's nothing more than the resentment left by the gods, it's nothing!"

Speaking lightly, Hudson, who was walking in the rain of blood, still held up the magic cover.

Feeling the resentment in the rain of blood, Hudson knew that something had really happened to the gods.

What caused the fall of the gods, this is not something he can know, the only thing that is certain is that the continent is going to be in chaos.

Those old antiques that Shouyuan is about to run out will definitely not give up any opportunity.

Regardless of whether the prophesied path to godhood is true or false, everyone will fight to the death.

In this context, not only the strong of the alien race are competitors, but even the strong of their own race are also competitors.

"Duke, the news has been told to you, so I'll leave first!"

seemed to think of something, and after saying that, Afia turned around and ran away.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Hudson's mouth twitched.

Based on the lifespan of a Sanctuary powerhouse, he is still in the childhood stage, and he does not have that sense of urgency at all.

Fortune tellers can predict the future, but Hudson doesn't believe that his half-soothsayer can find it.

What's more, even if it can be found, it is not something that everyone can grasp. If you don't cultivate to the peak, you will be sent to death if you mix it in.

Compared with Hudson's calmness, the outside world has exploded.

After seeing the blood rain, countless old antiques ended their cultivation.

Ancient books related to myths and legends suddenly became hot and were robbed by major forces.

The Alpha Kingdom was no exception, and the half-believing Hudson didn't want to participate, but was eventually pulled over.

……

The Grand Hall of the Royal Palace.

Many old antiques that have been dead for many years in the eyes of the outside world have been blown up at this moment. If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one knows that there are so many powerful people hidden in the kingdom.

Glancing at the group of Sanctuary powerhouses present, Hudson sat directly in his place.

Caesar IV, as the protagonist, was slightly embarrassed, his throne was directly occupied by his ancestors, and he could only stand aside.

Fortunately, he was not the only one who was unlucky, and the positions of the ministers were also occupied by their respective ancestors.

It seemed like a coincidence, but Hudson knew it was setting the tone for the meeting.

His intuition told him that Alpha I was probably behind this.

The meeting of the pinnacle powerhouse can be held anywhere, and there is no need to put it in the hall that symbolizes the king's power.

In another place, the elders bring the younger generations to the meeting, and no one can find fault with such a seating arrangement.

"When everyone is there, then the meeting begins.

The gods have fallen, the continent is about to enter troubled times, and we need to come up with an idea of where the kingdom should go.

If you have any ideas, just say them! ”

Alpha I's words landed, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.

Seeing that everyone was slow to speak, Hudson also chose to remain silent.

Compared to this group of old guys, he still knows too little. Many of the secrets of the continent that have been passed down by word of mouth cannot be collected just by trying to collect them.

"Alpha, rumors are just rumors after all, and no one can guarantee that the prophecy is true.

The gods can fall, let alone the prophecies left by the gods.

Until we can't be sure of the authenticity, we'd better not act rashly. At least before the appearance of the Divine Path, there is no need to move.

The little ones have done a good job in recent years, so just keep them doing it, and we old guys will just take care of it! ”

Fervio's words moved Caesar IV badly. This is the pillar of the kingdom, which is like his own ancestor staring at his throne.

"Alpha, Vervio is right.

It's good to do more and make more mistakes, and not to do it.

Let's wait and see the situation first, and then intervene at the critical moment. ”

Phoenix on the side echoed.

It can be seen that they really don't want to toss.

The news of the rain of blood from the sky and the fall of the gods really shocked them.

With that comes vigilance. Everyone has heard of the prophecy, but the problem is that its own strength does not allow it.

The powerhouses of the Holy Realm in the same realm, because of the different laws they comprehend, have the same distinction between three, six, and nine.

Alpha I, who cultivated the Law of the Emperor's Dao, was undoubtedly the strongest in the second order of the Holy Realm, and he was the seed player with the best chance of participating in the competition.

Not long after the two of them entered the second order of the Holy Domain, their comprehension of the law was not deep enough, and their personal combat strength was very average in the second order of the Holy Domain.

The strong can enter the game whenever they want, and if their personal strength is insufficient, then they must choose the time.

"You two are thinking too much!

When such a big thing happens, how can the strong people of all ethnic groups on the mainland sit still. Once the troubled times begin, how can we be left alone?

If you don't know where Chengshen Road will appear, it's not wrong to occupy the territory first.

Troubled times need someone to detonate, either we take the initiative to participate or deal with it passively.

Referring to the previous continental wars, when did the kingdom survive alone? ”

After the mysterious old man finished speaking, all the strong people present turned their heads and ears.

Hudson, who was not familiar with these old guys, closed his eyes directly in his position to recuperate. Deep down, he was already busy looking for information about the old man.

It's a pity that no matter how much he searched, there was no information to match the number. But being able to enter here for a meeting means that this person is a native powerhouse of the kingdom.

"Senior, you can't say that!

It is easy to start a war, but it is difficult to have the last laugh, and we are not ready for war.

The poor geographical location of the kingdom determines that we must be cautious in dealing with war, and if we are not careful, we will be besieged by the enemy on multiple fronts.

If it really involves the path to becoming a god, the countries of the human race may not be reliable.

This 10,000-year tribulation should not start with the kingdom! ”

Hudson responded immediately.

I don't know if the identity doesn't matter, anyway, as long as he shows up, he will know him after this meeting.

As the commander of the three armies of the kingdom, he didn't want the kingdom to get involved in the war in advance.

If all the strong people present have the same position, maybe he will choose to compromise, but now that everyone's position is divided, there is no need to back down.

"The marshal is right, we should not be robbers.

In recent years, the kingdom has been fighting for many years, and it is a time when people are sleepy and tired, and the army and civilians need to recuperate.

According to the established plan, when we are ready, it is not too late to wait for the opportunity to act.

Now there are not even third-order powerhouses in the Holy Realm on the mainland, even if the path to becoming a god is opened, everyone can only watch! ”

After Robert opened his mouth to echo, a group of powerhouses in the Holy Domain who had just broken through spoke out one after another.

Compared with the old antiques who have been gone for more than 300 years, these people who have just stepped into the Sanctuary have a much deeper affection for the kingdom.

At the meeting of the peak powerhouses, their right to speak is very limited, but it is still okay for someone to follow along at the beginning.

Seeing this scene, Alpha I was instantly embarrassed.

patronizing and wooing the strong people outside, he didn't expect his juniors to jump out and oppose it.

After all, he had been a king, and when he remembered his experiences in the kingdom in recent years, he realized that he had been hasty.

The military strength of the Alpha Kingdom is indeed very strong, but it does not mean that the military and civilians in the country can continue to withstand high-intensity wars.

The short three-year recuperation period only gave the kingdom a sigh of relief, and the material reserves in all aspects were seriously insufficient.

There is indeed a bumper harvest in agriculture, but it is necessary to consume grain for military training. Even if it is a reserve force, it is necessary to fill the stomach before it can talk about combat effectiveness.

Whose kingdom is cherished.

If the good situation is ruined, even if it can be reinstated, it will not bring much help.

"Everyone misunderstood!

The Terran Alliance is a whole, and as a member of the Terran race, we must be in step with the race.

If the alliance decides to start a continental war, the kingdom will certainly not be left alone.

Today, we have gathered everyone to meet here, mainly to exchange views on the situation and their cultivation experiences.

……”

A few simple words directly pulled the situation back, and Hudson saw Alpha I's resilience for the first time.

It is not suitable for the kingdom to immediately start a war with foreign countries, but once a continental war breaks out, everyone has no right to refuse to participate.

The poor geographical location doomed the Alpha Kingdom to become the main force in the Great War.

Either you go and beat someone or you get beaten by someone else. Prepare in advance, yes.

Of course, this is superfluous.

According to the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom, everyone will prepare for war as long as they have the ability.

Victories in recent years have not only not erased this tradition, but have only intensified the belligerence.

The general environment is like this, and the children of the nobles who are a little ambitious are eager to be able to make achievements on the battlefield.

The meeting ended hastily, and everyone directly entered the communication stage, and the scene suddenly became lively.

It is rare to see a Sacred Domain powerhouse, and it is even more rare for a group of Sacred Domain powerhouses to gather together to communicate.

Caesar IV and the ministers, who had the privilege of listening, did not see a smile on their faces.

I don't understand, I really don't understand!

My own realm is not enough, and the laws have not been touched, and I still have to work hard to comprehend it, which is really torturous.

No matter how painful it was, several people were still listening attentively.

The dream of the Sanctuary is always there, in case it comes true one day!

Hudson, who participated in the exchange, felt completely different.

As a budding sanctuary, after listening to the communication of everyone, many confused places were directly solved.

It can be seen from the smiles on the faces of the saints that everyone has gained a lot. As an old powerhouse, Alpha I talked the most.

After the exchange meeting began, the atmosphere in the main hall quickly became harmonious. Hudson, who originally looked at Alpha I unpleasantly, was no longer hostile at the moment.

Cultivation is not easy, and with the guidance of these seniors, you can avoid many detours. Although he also came up with his own experience, the value is obviously not a grade.

If it weren't for the fact that the law of fate was mysterious, everyone would suspect that he was fooling people. When Hudson spoke, everyone was confused.

Human nature is like this, and after receiving benefits from Alpha I, it directly changed Hudson's opinion of him.

After all, Hudson and Alpha I did not have a conflict of interest in other areas other than the question of seizing the throne.

Today's play certainly has the meaning of buying people's hearts, but the cultivation experience that Alpha I has taken out is also real, and everyone must understand this situation.

In addition to the comprehension of the law, some hidden secrets of the continent are also constantly being told from the mouths of the public.

Everyone talked endlessly, which made Caesar IV a few people.

The physical fitness of the powerhouses in the Sacred Domain is strong enough, and it doesn't hurt to go sleepless for ten days and half a month, but they can't!

After two days of hard work, Caesar IV had to take his leave.

Several ministers were stronger in their own right, held out longer, and also failed to survive to the end.

After surviving these people, the exchange meeting also came to an end. It can be seen from the smiling faces of everyone that these guys are doing it on purpose.

The identity is different, and the angle of looking at the problem is also different.

Everyone did not support the restoration of Alpha I, and they were also dissatisfied with Caesar IV's attitude towards his ancestors.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the restoration of Alpha I is a farce, and the old man deliberately makes trouble with the juniors, as long as he talks about it, it will be over.

If you really want to be greedy for power, you can control it remotely behind the scenes, why bother to restore it to make people laugh!

As an insider, Hudson decisively chose to remain silent.

It's hard to change the perception of this thing, and if you really uncover the old bottom of Alpha I, it will become an undying hatred, and everyone may not believe it.

Anyway, it's not yourself who is tossed, so why bother to sweep everyone's interest!

……

The impact of the fall of the gods was even more violent than Hudson had expected, and it was the church that was the first to be affected.

The gods are gone, and it's hard not to collapse your faith.

When the news spread, churches everywhere were crowded with people, hoping that the gods would give back.

It's a pity that the priest can't release the magic at this time, and it all depends on the knights and magicians to support the scene, where is there any divine feedback.

Countless fanatics couldn't stand this stimulation and went crazy on the spot. Every day, believers commit suicide with a mental breakdown, causing chaos everywhere.

This is the end of the dispute over orthodoxy in the Holy See. The three major Holy Sees fell together, and no one was more sacred than the other.

Relatively speaking, the situation of the Holy See in the north and south is slightly better. After all, it is supported by the state, and even if there is chaos, the situation can be stabilized.

The old papacy was miserable, and the groups that were united purely by faith also split with the collapse of faith.

The internal contradictions intensified, and the prestige of Pius VII, who had plummeted, could not control the scene at all.

The old pope personally intervened to mediate, but it could not stop the split in the Holy See.

The intensification of internal contradictions is one thing, but more importantly, the external environment, which brings them too much pressure.

In the past, there were gods as spiritual sustenance, and no matter how much pressure the outside world put on them, everyone was able to grit their teeth and persevere.

One by one, they also fantasized that when the gods came, they would punish the infidels.

As a result, the gods did not wait, but waited for the news of the fall of the gods. The fragile heart has already collapsed.

Those who are determined can't bear the pressure now.

"Godless Age", that means that the mainland has completely entered the world of kings and nobles.

If you want to live better, you must integrate into it, and the secularization and reform of the Holy See is imperative.

Different from the pope's electoral system, the king's aristocracy is more naked, directly inherited by blood.

As soon as the forces of various countries were mixed up behind the scenes, the major factions of the Holy See, which were full of contradictions, were on the verge of splitting.

Looking at the major factions clamoring for the separation, the ascetics of the Holy See felt numb in their scalps.

It's okay to let them fight, and it would be too embarrassing to deal with these worldly contradictions.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and if you really talk about it, many of the people below are still their descendants.

"See for yourself!"

After saying that, Venerable Murphy turned around and left directly, leaving everyone looking at each other.

The embarrassing situation didn't last long, and then several Sacred Domain powerhouses turned around and left.

"Just make a fuss!

When you regret it in the future, don't come to us when the time comes! ”

With a wave of his sleeves, Fabrizio once again kicked off a new wave of strong departures.

Deep down, everyone knew that a split in the Holy See was inevitable, but everyone still didn't want to see it.

"The seniors are gone, and those who want to leave can leave by themselves with your people.

The way to divide the family is very simple, whoever controls the territory belongs to whom, and if you are not convinced, you will fight.

After today, everyone will become a force of their own, and they will meet in the future! ”

Pius VII said through gritted teeth.

After a series of failures, after the return of many powerful people in the church, he, the pope, has fallen from power.

If it weren't for the endless battles between the parties over the papal throne, he would have been nothing to do.

Originally, he thought that after everyone decided the winner, he would completely retire and cultivate, but he never expected that this would wait for the Holy See to split.

The seniors in the sect were not as responsible as he expected.

After helping the Holy See stabilize the situation, they were busy with their own affairs one by one, and they had no time to mediate internal contradictions.

If it weren't for the need for a man to take on the split in the Holy See, no one would have informed him of today's meeting.

Knowing that he had no power to return to heaven, the seventh generation of Asylus was too lazy to struggle.

If you want to divide the family, you can divide it directly, no matter how you divide it, he doesn't care now.

If there are hidden dangers of contradictions, they will be resolved in accordance with the rules of the mainland, and whoever is strong will be justified.

"Your Majesty, since you say that, then we naturally will not have an opinion.

But now that the gods have fallen, the Pope should not exist.

Notes have been sent from various countries, asking Your Majesty to go to the title of emperor and demote him to the rank of ......"

In the middle of speaking, seeing that Pius VII's face turned pale, Drazin hurriedly shut up.

Although the Pope in front of him is notorious, he is a powerhouse in the Holy Realm after all, and if he provokes people, he is not allowed to do anything drastic.

According to the specifications, even if the Holy See is secularized, the Pope should be the emperor.

Even if there is a split in the Holy See and several kingdoms are born, it is in accordance with the rules.

To be demoted to a vassal state all of a sudden, it is a naked insult.

There is no way to be unhappy, there are too many people who let them offend, and everyone is not willing to give them higher treatment.

Wanting to keep the specifications of the kingdom, the major kingdoms of the continent expressed their opposition together, and the Alpha Kingdom, the head of the heresy, even said that it was an insult to themselves to be in the same kingdom as them.

Taking a step back, wanting to keep the Principality's specifications, the Mossi jumped out to make trouble.

"The split Holy See is too weak to be worthy of being among the principalities"!

The reason is very strange, but it is true.

Compared with the Duchy of Moxi, the divided Holy See is indeed a little weaker.

Normally, it's just the Moshees who oppose it, and they don't pay attention to it.

Unfortunately, all the Terran countries expressed their support, and the Frankish delegates strongly advised them to be demoted to the Hou state, and the Ilbelian delegates were also on hand to persuade them.

The position of each country is very clear, and it is directly divided into a group of princely states, and everyone recognizes them diplomatically.

If you hold on to the shelf, then it is a black household.

It seems to be just a diplomatic recognition, but in fact it is a legal dispute.

Anyone can take a country that is not legitimate, and the Terran Alliance does not provide security protection.

The Holy See, which huddles together for warmth, will be bullied, let alone after the split.

After a series of ideological struggles, the major factions have chosen to compromise.

Anyway, they were all bishops, legionnaires and the like, and it was not a humiliation to the lord of the country, and it was the Pope who was really stimulated.

"Yes!"

Patronus VII said ruthlessly.

The Holy See is gone, and everyone doesn't care about the only remaining dignity, so he can also give it up.

As a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, he would have even more options.

If it weren't for the family, the seventh generation of Asylus could have patted his ass and left, and chose a random mountain to retreat and cultivate.

After a few decades, everyone forgot about him and came out again, and he could start a new life again.

……

Snow Moon Collar.

Hudson, who had just returned from the meeting of the kingdom's pinnacle powerhouses, received the good news of a split in the Holy See.

"Who planned the split of the Holy See?"

Hudson asked with concern.

In recent days, his focus has been on the fall of the gods, and he has long forgotten about the dilapidated residence of the Holy See.

"Duke, this operation was initiated by His Majesty Charles III, and the kingdom also played an important role in it.

After the Papal States were divided into five, all of them were downgraded to marquis, which is the handiwork of the kingdom! ”

Tom replied excitedly.

The grievances between his master and the Holy See, he is very clear.

To put it mildly, if there is no contribution from the Holy See, his own master may not have his current status.

The initial success of the venture was all due to the sacrifice of the papal cavalry.

Otherwise, with Hudson's performance in the counterinsurgency army, it is unknown whether he can get a fief of a knight's domain.

Even the Earth Bear, which propelled Hudson to fame, was sent by the Holy See.

Follow-up grievances, that's more.

In short, the relationship between the two sides is almost endless.

As a hostile force, you must kill the other party to be at ease.

Now it's happening!

The Holy See was torn apart, and the original enemy simply ceased to exist.

After the split, the major forces, even if they wanted to do something, did not threaten Xueyueling's capital.

"Charles III, he does have a reason to make a move.

The Royal Government's adaptability this time is also good, and it seems that the conservative guys are not as conservative as rumored by the outside world! ”

Hudson commented with a smile.
