#2782 - Main pillar

Since all the teleportation channels leading to the main pillar of God had been closed, Fang Heng could only approach the main pillar through the teleportation channel of the Winged God race in the lower world, then transform into bat form and fly directly towards the main pillar.

The closer he got to the main pillar, the more conspicuous the huge beam of light emerging from the center of the main pillar became.

Until he flew into the circular open area at the top of the main pillar, Fang Heng switched back to the Divine Scholar form and flew into the area above.

"Who is it?"

As soon as Fang Heng landed, several guards around him cast wary gazes at him.

"It's me."

Fang Heng opened his hand and showed the guards the certificate of Misty Island.

The guards were surprised to see the certificate.

Huh? What's going on?

The certificate of Misty Island?

How did this guy come back from outside?

"I am Fang Bai, the newly advanced Great Sage. I encountered some trouble on the road, and now I need to go to the Temple of Creation immediately."

The guards looked at each other upon hearing this.

The newly advanced Great Sage?

And so young?

Really?

Looks completely fake at a glance.

But...

Would anyone really impersonate a Great Sage?

The captain of the guard team was still wary, nodded and said, "Sorry, Great Sage, the Divine Realm is currently under martial law. We cannot verify your identity for the time being. Please return to the Temple of the Gods with us to meet the three Great Sages."

Fang Heng frowned slightly.

Fang Heng was not sure whether he could avoid the detection of the three Great Sages.

Moreover, it would be too much of a waste of time to go to the Temple of the Gods again, and there might be other twists and turns in the middle.

Otherwise...

Should he just break out?

Fang Heng gradually released his own perception.

The central pillar of God is heavily guarded, with posts every five steps and sentries every ten steps, making it almost impossible to avoid all detection guards.

Just as Fang Heng was hesitating whether to take action, he suddenly saw a patrol team coming from the front.

"Captain Hain!"

Hain was leading his Knights on a reconnaissance mission on the west side of the main pillar, worried about Fang Heng's situation. Hearing this familiar voice, his heart moved and he looked towards the distance.

Fang Bai!?

What a coincidence?

Hain immediately showed a happy expression, waved his hand and led his team of Divine Punishment Knights to Fang Heng quickly, saluting in unison.

"Greetings, Great Sage!"

The team of guards who were intercepting Fang Heng for investigation suddenly changed their expressions and cast surprised glances at Fang Heng.

What's going on?

He really is a Great Sage!?

So young? When did this happen?

Since Commander Hain had already saluted, the members of the Divine Realm Holy Court reconnaissance team looked at each other and bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Great Sage."

"Get up."

Fang Heng raised his hand to signal Hain and the others to rise, looked at Hain, and asked, "Hain, what's the situation in the Divine Realm now?"

"It's not clear yet. According to the three Great Sages, the God King is currently in great trouble. A special force is trying to seize the God King's body and obtain the God King's power. The consequences would be disastrous if they succeed."

Hain didn't know much, he just said the information he knew: "Currently, the three Great Sages and the major priests and bishops are gathering in the Temple of the Gods, releasing barrier power to prevent evil things from affecting the God King. The various legions of the Divine Realm are also gathered in the central pillar area, closely guarding each area to prevent outsiders from invading."

Fang Heng roughly digested the information from the Divine Realm.

It seems that Su Ziyue is influencing the God King in some way.

However, the effect should be stronger. According to Hain's description, Su Ziyue even wants to seize the God King, directly causing the entire Divine Realm to be on high alert.

With Su Ziyue's main body taking action, the Holy Court may be worried that actively attacking will directly affect the God King. If Su Ziyue and the God King die together, the Holy Court will still suffer.

Hain asked: "Great Sage, I heard that Fang Heng invaded the Divine Realm with a large number of demons. Is the situation at the Misty Pillar okay? How did you get here?"

"Ah? Fang Heng?"

Good fellow.

Fang Heng thought that he was so famous in the Divine Realm?

I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Fang Heng is one of the Demon Seeds, extremely powerful, and can control a summoning creature called the Licker, possessing the ability to fight in legions, and also comprehended the power of dimension some time ago. He is very difficult to deal with. If you encounter him, you must be very careful."

"I understand."

Fang Heng calmed himself down and continued: "The Misty Pillar has now been taken over by the Demon Seed. I got some news related to the God King's changes, so I came here immediately."

Hain's heart moved, and he asked: "Great Sage, can I know what happened specifically?"

"The demon occupying the God King's body may be related to the Temple of Creation. Let's go, take me to the Temple of Creation."

Going to the Temple of Creation again...

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Divine Realm guards showed embarrassment.

"Yes, Great Sage, I will take you there immediately."

Hain took Fang Heng's words as the standard. After hearing this, he did not hesitate, and then looked back at the two guards and nodded to them, "You two, immediately return to the Temple of the Gods to report to the three Great Sages."

"Yes!"

"Great Sage, the Temple of Creation is built on the east side of the main pillar of God, please follow me."

"Okay."

Fang Heng glanced at the two Holy Court guards who were rushing back to report, and followed Hain to the Temple of Creation.

"The Temple of Creation is where the God King comprehends the power of God and breaks through the boundaries of the God King. After that, the Holy Court sent people to build the Temple of Creation there."

On the way, Hain introduced the situation of the Temple of Creation to Fang Heng.

"Due to the extremely powerful fluctuations of divine power in the Temple of Creation, the Temple of Creation area has been designated as a forbidden area for safety reasons, and few people enter it under normal circumstances. After that, in the last hundreds of thousands of years, the Temple of Creation has gradually become a trial ground in the Divine Realm. Many people have tried to enter the Temple of Creation to cultivate in order to pursue the power of the Great Sage."

Fang Heng was a little curious and asked suspiciously: "Are you talking about trials?"

"Yes, I have heard some rumors, but I don't know if they are true. Great Sage, just treat it as a story."

Hain was worried about misleading Fang Heng, so he added a disclaimer first, and then explained: "It is said that the first twelve Holy Sages passed the trial of the Temple of Creation under the guidance of the God King and became Great Sages. In later generations, the controllers of the power of Divine Studies can also enter the Temple of Creation with their own power, cultivate and temper themselves in the temple with their own abilities, until they are promoted to become true Great Sages."

"But this kind of trial takes a very long time and has a very low success rate. It is extremely dangerous, and ordinary people will not try it."

More than twenty minutes later, Hain took Fang Heng to the square outside the Temple of Creation.

Standing in the square, the Temple of Creation was built against a mountain range, looking a bit dilapidated.

A faint golden light continuously overflowed from the windows of the temple.
