Chapter 708: Cooperation overtly and covertly, Zhang Bowen became a god [6,000 words]

Hundreds of thousands of troops marched straight in.

With the firepower assistance of more than a dozen soul engineer groups, they broke through the defensive line that the Star Luo Empire had deployed for a year and reoccupied the Mingdou Mountains.

The Xingluo army was retreating steadily and suffered heavy losses.

Even the newly formed soul mentor groups were crippled and had to retreat to the former Yuming City defense line to hold on.

The two thunderstorms of the Sun and Moon Empire only broke through the Mingdou Mountains, which was considered a blessing among misfortunes.

Soul guidance technology can compensate to a certain extent through the support of the Undead Empire.

However, the people's ideas and the organization and dispatch of the army cannot be formed in a short period of time.

The only good news is probably that the extreme northern soul beasts under the Immortal Empire helped Dou Ling and Xing Luo to eliminate a huge supply point of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The Sun and Moon Empire, whose plan failed, had to remain silent for a period of time to accumulate the strength to conquer the mainland.

At the same time, the Sun and Moon Empire simply stopped doing nothing and directly cut the manufacturing funds for custom-made soul-guided artillery shells, and turned towards high-energy compression array soul-guided devices.

Kong Deming completely let go of the management of the court, forced Orange to take over, and exercised checks and balances on Zhong Liwu.

He himself led the Enshrinement Hall to attack light energy conversion and storage technology in an attempt to open a new door for soul guidance technology.

The chief priest, who is known as the father of soul guidance devices, firmly believes that as long as he succeeds in light energy conversion and storage technology, the Sun and Moon Empire will clear all obstacles to unification.

Therefore, the offensive of the Sun and Moon Empire was temporarily suspended, and only some small-scale harassment was carried out from time to time.

With the support of the powerful people from Shrek Academy and the arms assistance from the Immortal Empire, the situation on the mainland once again fell into a stalemate.

The Sun and Moon Empire wanted to take action, but they did not have enough resources for the time being.

Wanting to take over Shrek City, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui refused to take action.

Therefore, as long as there is Mr. Xuan or any one of the poisonous immortals in Shrek City who never leaves, the Sun and Moon Empire will have nothing to do with Shrek City.

Unless a large army is sent to suppress the border.

Otherwise, Shrek City will be impregnable.

Although Extreme Douluo cannot change the direction of a very large-scale war, it is enough to protect an entire city.

Even if these two people really rushed to the battlefield at the same time to provide support at a certain moment, wouldn't there be Douluo's good neighbor, the beast god Ditian, and his four ferocious beast friends?

Even if it was simply to win Qian Chaoguang's favor, he would not sit back and watch Shrek City fall into the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Therefore, although the war broke out, Shrek City was still one of the safest places on the entire continent.

There are two Extreme Douluo and a dozen Super Douluo sitting in charge, and countless Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo experts are waiting in full formation.

Coupled with the three major soul mentor groups of Shrek City itself, as well as the soul guidance device city wall defense system jointly built by Huo Yutong and Qian Duoduo.

The city's defenses have reached an almost insurmountable level.

If things get really desperate, Zhang Bowen can temporarily mobilize the Undead Angel Legion to fight.

Hundreds of seraphs swarmed towards that station, without even using their soul skills. The combined pressure of Titled Douluo scared them to death!

With the incompetent fury of the Sun and Moon Empire temporarily ending, the situation on the entire continent also gained a brief moment of peace amid solemnity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Beibei, who is responsible for the self-immolation plan, has been completing the undercover mission well in Mingdu.

The Tang Sect and the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce cooperated internally and externally, and relied on the left hand to replace the right hand. It really cheated the Sun and Moon Empire a lot, and greatly slowed down the original war rhythm of the Sun and Moon Empire.

If it were not for the two to create the Zhuge Divine Ballista and hold back the Sun and Moon Empire, I am afraid that a high-energy compression array soul guide that can truly be put into actual combat would have been born.

The Sun and Moon Empire, which had been deceived for more than half a year, had only recently come back to its senses and begun to adjust the ratio of resource tilt, abandoning the seemingly picturesque but actually useless Zhuge Shen Crossbow.

The Empire of the Sun and Moon is bleeding heavily, and the Pixiu Merchant will make a fortune.

The war machine called the country is rumbling into action. As the largest private chamber of commerce, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has also received a massive number of orders.

Although it was not an arms order, just the civilian soul guidance device order from Orange's so-called conspiracy was enough to make the entire chamber of commerce salivate.

This is not just a city or a province, it is selling goods to an entire country.

Thanks to this terrifying manufacturing power and sales methods, as well as a small profit share, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has successfully become the number one private partner of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Now, all the soul engineers who are affiliated with the Sun Moon Empire, or who were once affiliated with the official government, have been recruited, and they are trying their best to produce one piece of military supplies after another.

The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is a military academy directly under the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

No matter what industry these students engage in after graduation, as long as the royal family issues a recruitment order, they must put down their work and obey the royal family's dispatch.

This is the oath sworn at the beginning of admission, and no one can violate it.

Because of this, the withdrawal of a large number of soul masters has caused the operation of countless chambers of commerce to become stuck, and a large number of gaps have appeared in the middle and upper market.

Taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce entered the middle and upper-class market in an extremely arrogant manner, using various means to crazily destroy one opponent after another.

They are no longer satisfied with only doing business in lower-tier markets and high-end customization.

In this country without anti-monopoly laws, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce wants to be the biggest monopoly giant!

Relying on advanced production concepts and a large number of high-level soul mentors, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce marketed at low prices and quickly defeated countless chambers of commerce that truly belonged to the Sun and Moon Empire.

In fact, even the people of the Sun and Moon Empire did not find anything very shocking.

Within this year, familiar brands quietly disappeared from their sight.

Instead, there were one Pixiu Soul Guidance Shop after another.

Unknowingly, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has firmly grasped the commercial lifeline of the Sun and Moon Empire's soul guides in its hands, and is constantly eating away at the remaining parts.

In this world without commercial wars, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, backed by the Immortal Empire, is a nearly invincible existence.

Those upper-class people who are addicted to pleasure, as well as the soul masters and soul masters who only think about how to make bigger fireballs every day may never find out.

The foundation of the soul guidance device that our country was so proud of was about to be swallowed up by a behemoth that had risen secretly.

Compared with the success of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, due to some off-site factors, the development speed of the Eternal God Religion in the Sun and Moon Empire is relatively average.

However, within the territory of the original Tianhun Empire, the development speed of the Eternal God Religion was extremely fast.

The people of the original Heavenly Soul Empire, which had just lost its country and suffered an unprecedented earth dragon comeback and changed its rulers, were now in a period of panic.

Troubled times are a good opportunity to spread faith.

Just as Qian Chaoguang had guessed before in the underworld, Zhang Bowen did a pretty good job.

In the original Tianhun Empire, almost everyone and every family believed in religion.

Not to mention anything else, just being able to get some benefits after believing in religion, even the most basic medical assistance, is enough to make these people grateful.

In this era, there are no medical clinics or doctors, let alone quacks or barefoot doctors.

If you want to cure a disease, you can only spend a high price to hire a healing soul master to perform healing soul skills, or buy soul skill food from a food soul master.

As long as people come, they have to give money.

It's not certain whether it can be cured or not.

Under such circumstances, the emergence of the Eternal Cult is like a guiding light in the darkness, even a bonfire that can keep people warm in the biting cold wind, and a harbor when the storm comes.

As long as you enshrine the statue of the God of Light and Immortality at home, your physical pain will continue to ease;

As long as you can recite prayers proficiently and participate in religious activities organized by the Eternal God on time, you can receive free treatment during regular free clinics;

As a result, as long as you make a certain amount of donation in the church, you can get a precious and priceless glass of water of life.

This is the holy water that can truly cure illnesses with a cup of medicine!

According to different personal financial resources, Eternal God has also divided different donation standards and collection times to ensure that everyone can afford it and receive timely treatment.

Poor people may only need an ordinary copper soul coin.

A wealthy family may need tens of thousands of precious gold soul coins.

Those nobles with high positions and generous salaries even need to fulfill some specific conditions.

At first, it was not like no one had some evil thoughts.

But as the Eternal God's Religion showed off the high-end force it "hired" from the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, these people with evil intentions disappeared.

The Eternal God Religion declares to the outside world that doing good deeds is to accumulate merit for oneself, and being pious is to accumulate tickets for oneself to ascend to the Kingdom of God in the future.

The Kingdom of God and eternal life are so illusory that few people believe them.

However, the life-extending and therapeutic effects of the water of life are real, and no one can refute this.

As a result, all kinds of rich and noble people have thrown themselves into the embrace of the God of Light and Immortality, relying on their strong financial resources to accumulate merit for themselves and exchange for health and longevity.

The Eternal God Church uses the donated money to expand its sphere of influence, build more churches, and help more people in need.

Those poor people gave a more pure and devout faith after receiving help, and contributed to Qian Chaoguang's condensation of divine personality and the opening up of the Kingdom of God.

In this way, the rich gain health, the Eternal God Religion gains faith, and the poor gain material assistance.

It's a pure win-win-win.

On this day, Pope Zhang Bowen of the Eternal Divine Sect led many bishops and clergymen in the church to visit the disaster-stricken areas in the former Tianhun Empire to hold a grand prayer meeting.

It is said to be a prayer meeting, but it can actually be said to be a very large charity event.

The scale is as large as a small continent-wide high-level soul master elite competition.

There were at least hundreds of thousands of believers who came to the scene.

There are not only people who are really suffering from disasters and need help, but also celebrities, nobles, wealthy businessmen, etc. from all walks of life who have traveled thousands of miles to increase their merits.

In order to arrange all these believers properly, the preliminary preparations took more than a month.

In the end, the engineering department of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce was asked to assist, and the on-site renovation was successfully completed before the scheduled date of the holy meeting.

The general process of this holy meeting is to first organize a large number of believers to come to the scene, and then Zhang Bowen will go on stage to preach in person, and then lead everyone to pray together.

After the event, Holy Communion will be distributed to the believers on site, followed by routine activities such as free clinics, charity fundraising, distribution of supplies, etc.

If other forces want to hold a rally of such an unprecedented scale, then it is estimated that all countries will feel very nervous.

Especially for a country like the Sun and Moon Empire that had just annexed a country, it was afraid that the indigenous people would rebel.

If it were anyone else, the Sun and Moon Empire would never allow this to happen, and would probably quickly send out an elite group of soul mentors to suppress it.

But when the relevant departments learned that the event was held by the Eternal God Cult, everything immediately fell into place.

Behind this are not only elites from all walks of life who are adding fuel to the fire, but also the acquiescence and assistants of the senior officials of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Not to mention anything else, the Eternal God of Light can help them stabilize the country and people's hearts, and can even be used to check the Holy Spirit Religion to a certain extent. This is enough.

Therefore, the civil servants sent by Zhang Bowen not only easily obtained the approval from the Sun and Moon Empire, but also received very considerate official assistance.

On the day of the holy meeting, the occasion was unprecedented.

Zhang Bowen wore a red papal robe with gold patterns and stood on a high pulpit.

Behind it is a statue of the God of Light and Immortality that is more than twenty meters high.

This was built with money from believers with relatively good backgrounds, and the carvings are extremely exquisite.

Under the warm direct sunlight, the surface of the statue reflects a layer of dazzling brilliance like gilded gold.

What many people did not expect was that the Sun and Moon Empire actually sent a soul mentor group and an elite infantry regiment to attend the meeting to help the Eternal God Cult maintain order on the scene.

Not only that, the Defense Minister of the Sun and Moon Empire personally attended the prayer meeting and brought the blessings of the current emperor Xu Tianran.

In such a situation, Zhang Bowen naturally smiled from ear to ear.

Following the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce and the Tang Sect, the Eternal Divine Sect has gradually come into the official sight of the Sun and Moon Empire.

What does this move mean? Couldn't someone as smart as Zhang Bowen still see it?

It's just that someone behind the scenes wants to push them out as spearmen and pawns of the disgusting Holy Spirit Cult.

How great would it be to get free labor without actually paying anything?

What the senior officials of the Sun-Moon Empire didn't know was that the Eternal Cult was also happy to do so.

This is what they have been doing secretly.

It would be great if we could get official support from the Sun Moon Empire and make some people think more about it.

Anyway, our Eternal God Sect neither cares about money nor lives.

I want you to point out the power of faith that ordinary people cannot see or touch. The wider it is spread, the better!

As for fighting against the Holy Spirit Church?

If we don't kill it, it will be the result of our Lord not launching a divine war yet. Is it possible that they still dare to attack us?

If we really fight, you, the Holy Spirit Religion, will know the terror of the Undead Angel Legion.

Seraphim's special attack on the evil soul master are you kidding me?

I heard that evil spirit masters can fight against normal spirit masters by leapfrogging, right?

Sorry, our undead angel army can also fight across levels when fighting evil soul masters.

Moreover, it is the kind of sword that can cause real damage and critical hits with a bleeding effect, and the more you hit it, the stronger it becomes.

come on!

Who is afraid of whom!

On the pulpit, Zhang Bowen was reading the Bible in a calm and magnetic voice.

Wisps of strange light kept blooming from his back, surrounding the entire holy meeting, making it a peaceful field.

At the holy meeting, listening to Zhang Bowen's sacred voice, many believers felt that their bodies were gradually becoming relaxed and their minds were gradually becoming peaceful.

It was as if even my thoughts were emptier, and I got a sleep as pure and clear as a baby.

At the edge of the holy meeting venue, several "people" hidden in white robes with black stripes were talking through soul links.

"Don't tell me, this guy Bowen seems to be acting like that. Even if he has not experienced systematic sect training, he is really good at being the Pope."

"Yes, that's right. It's a pity that his affinity with the light element is a little bit worse. Otherwise, even if he was placed in the original glorious Holy See, he would at least be a cardinal."

"Huh, Cardinal? I think that useless pope who was killed by the old master back then is not as capable as our blog. If it hadn't been for the hereditary system of the Brilliant Holy See, we wouldn't have ended up in that situation."

"Come on, pull it down. We can live the life we ​​have today. Isn't it all thanks to those bastards from the Brilliant Holy See? Without them forcing the old master to rebel, could we have eternal life?"

"Hey, hey, that's about it. You guys attack without distinction. I was also one of the lower-level bishops of the Brilliant Holy See back then, right? Can you blame us for the corruption at the top? Really!"

"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Even if you are a bishop, you are not considered to be in the upper echelon?"

"Of course not, grandma, you don't know, I'm telling you, damn! Look at the statue! What is that!"

Accompanied by the shocked shouts in the soul link, several undead creatures raised their heads and looked at the statue standing in the distance.

Not only did they discover it, but everyone in the venue who was not blind also discovered it.

Even Zhang Bowen's voice of reciting the Bible was interrupted at this moment, and he turned around and looked up at the tall statue of God.

In the holy meeting venue, countless people exclaimed, and in the air, people kept muttering "The God of Light and Immortality is above" in a low voice.

Behind the more than 20-meter-high statue, a huge light wheel composed of black and gold slowly condensed, continuously shining outward with brilliant holy light.

At the moment when the light wheel was condensed and formed, the entire statue suddenly erupted with an unparalleled brilliance.

The warm power of holy light continued to surge outwards, radiating to the entire venue in an instant.

Not only here, but also in any church on Douluo Continent, in the homes of devout believers, and even in the pendants worn by some believers and the handles held in their hands.

Any statue based on the god of light and immortality will release strange rays of light at the same time.

At this moment, a strange flame seemed to burn on the top of the huge statue, and the eyes carved from the rock seemed to have a soul.

Two starlights are embedded in it, and the radiance shines from the whole body of the statue.

In an instant, the appearance of the statue itself changed slightly.

Not only did the armor on his body turn into black and gold, but the long knife held high in his hand also released bursts of strong killing energy.

The entire venue was in a state of excitement.

Everyone present, whether they were dignitaries or poor people, whether they were clergy or military soldiers, were all in deep shock.

Suddenly, unparalleled power descended from the sky.

A light like a staircase to heaven enveloped Zhang Bowen.

Powerful power is being injected into his body, and the power of faith belonging to the true God is leaning towards his body.

In an instant, he felt that the scene in front of him became unreal.

An invisible network condenses from the void and connects to every believer.

Through those link channels of different thicknesses, Zhang Bowen could clearly see that countless powers of faith were being born in their bodies and being continuously transported upwards.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked up. Qian Chaoguang, who was in a divine form, was condensing in the void in a posture that he couldn't understand.

The two divine fires are his eyes, and the godhead formed by the condensed light and immortal authority is his heart.

The next moment, the figure of "Qian Chaoguang" raised his hand slightly and tapped towards him.

"Bowen, you have worked hard for more than a year. Today, I will help you embark on the road to becoming a god."

The sacred voice that only Zhang Bowen could hear echoed in his heart like a bell.

Along with the influx of a large amount of faith power, a strange wave suddenly burst out.

As his cultivation and mental strength increased, Zhang Bowen looked towards his heart in surprise, and saw a strange flame swaying.

A shining rune is growing stronger, complementing the strange flame.

Although Zhang Bowen didn't know what it was, he was strangely able to understand the meaning of the rune at a glance - hope.

That is the authority of hope, the ability that Mo Xuan, as a saint, once defined to the God of Light, should have.

Now, Qian Chaoguang gave it to his agent, helping him ignite the divine fire and become the god of hope in the future.

The scepter of control appeared in Zhang Bowen's hand at some point.

Ranked ninth is a golden soul ring that shines with brilliance.

This soul ring has no pressure, but anyone who comes close can feel a kind of joy and cheerfulness from the heart, as if a beautiful life is waving towards them.

Now, Zhang Bowen, bathed in the holy light, is no longer a simple pope of the Eternal Divine Religion, nor is he a simple titled Douluo.

He is the agent of the will of the God of Light and Immortality in the human world, and he is also the first follower of the God of Light!
