Chapter 408: God's Abandoned

Richard looked at Theresa in surprise. He didn't expect that this bishop who was willing to die with the God of Harvest could have such insightful views.

But his goal is not to let the Forsaken of God defeat the current ruling party of the Thousand Gods Empire.

They have colluded with the powerful sanctuaries from another world, and it is obvious that they are no longer someone that the current Forsaken Gods can defeat.

Richard has only one goal.

That is to delay time for the development of the Free Federation and the Wizarding Alliance, and also to buy time for oneself.

If the Thousand Gods Empire can free up its hands, then the Thousand Gods Empire and the powerful saints from other worlds will be able to catch up to the Ander world soon.

People around Richard will also be in danger.

……

Originally, Richard was only planning to delay for some time, because he had just been promoted to the late stage of the Holy Domain Wizard, and he needed some time to consolidate his level before he could continue to improve.

After plundering in the Dragon World, Richard no longer had a problem with the magic resources required for his advancement. As long as his level was stable, he could continue to upgrade at any time and reach the peak of the Sanctuary Wizard.

But after learning that blood sacrifice could absorb the essence of the wizarding world, Richard had new ideas.

That is to do the same as the ruling party of the Thousand Gods Empire, offering a blood sacrifice to the Tiger God with the strong men of the Thousand Gods Empire, and let the Tiger God absorb the essence of the wizard world.

Don’t the gods of the Thousand Gods Empire regard the believers of the Wizarding World as their food reserves?

Richard simply set fire to their granary.

On the one hand, it can enhance the strength of the Tiger God, and on the other hand, it can relieve the pressure on the god-level strongmen in the Free Federation in the divine world.

The previous blood sacrifice in the capital of the Thousand Gods Empire must have greatly increased the strength of the ascended gods of the Thousand Gods Empire. If it continues, there will be no place for the Free Federation in the God Realm.

Richard's plan to let the Tiger God ascend to the divine realm failed.

Thinking of this, Richard looked at Theresa who was serious in front of him and smiled: "Thank you for your reminder, but now we must unite all the forces in our hands to resist those evil sects."

"OK then!"

Theresa was helpless, but she had already reminded Richard, so Richard should have a way.

"But I'll tell you how to contact the Forsaken Gods. Can you tell me why the gods you believe in weren't killed by the God of Hunting?"

Theresa asked cautiously.

Then she felt a little regretful, because this might be related to the secret of the gods behind Richard.

"of course can."

Richard smiled and told her the truth without hiding anything.

"Of course it's because the god I believe in has not ascended to the divine realm!"

"Of course the God of Hunting cannot descend from the divine realm to the underworld and kill the gods I believe in."

Although the Tiger God was his own incarnation, in order to cater to the believers of the Thousand Gods Empire, Richard also described the Tiger God as the god of his own faith.

It’s his fault anyway, so Richard won’t suffer any loss.

"what?"

Theresa was shocked. She thought there really were gods who could escape when the God of Harvest was killed.

I really didn't expect this to be the case.

Then she also realized that the god Richard believed in was the evil god that the Harvest Sect believed in.

“Isn’t that the evil god?”

Richard looked at Theresa and asked, "What is an evil god? Are the gods that your sect doesn't recognize evil gods?"

"The gods accepted by your Harvest Sect, such as the Sea God and the God of Hunting, have already killed the gods you believe in. Do you still think they are righteous gods?"

Theresa was speechless.

The education she received since childhood was that except for the gods worshipped by the Thousand Gods Empire, all other gods were evil gods.

After seeing how the priests of the Harvest Cult could cast magic that allowed her peasant family to harvest a whole year's worth of food, Theresa became very devout to the God of the Harvest.

At that time, Theresa had been diagnosed with extraordinary talent. After seeing the "miracle" in the hands of the clergy of the Harvest Sect, she chose to join the Harvest Sect and worked hard to become a clergy of the Harvest Sect.

Fortunately, she had good talent and grew up step by step to become the bishop of the Harvest Sect. She was sent to a border city to take charge of the area.

Richard's words obviously subverted her past cognition.

In order to get Theresa to cooperate with him, Richard continued to explain: "The so-called true gods of the Thousand Gods Empire are just creatures who plundered the Green Empire's legacy after the fall of the Green Empire and cultivated to the level of gods."

"Historically, there have been more than a thousand god-level masters who have ascended from the wizard world. Many of them were too lazy to take care of the sects in the wizard world, so they let your Harvest Sect and Hunting Sect exterminate them, just like what the Hunting Sect did to you today."

"But there are also latecomers like the Sea God Sect who joined your Thousand Gods Empire."

Theresa nodded, not quite understanding.

"I have a question."

"Ask whatever question you want!"

"What is the Green Empire? Is it related to the Green Alliance?"

Richard clenched his fists, but felt as powerless as if he was hitting cotton.

I hope you will never understand the feeling of talking for a long time but the other person is deaf.

"Forget it. I can't explain it to someone like you who doesn't know history. You just need to know that those so-called gods are actually no different from us. As long as your level is high, you can also become a new god."

It's not that Theresa didn't understand. Although she didn't know the history of the wizarding world, she could sense that Richard wanted to tell her that the so-called righteous gods and evil gods were no different at all, the only difference was whether they were strong enough.

If it were in the past, she would have scoffed at such a statement, but after witnessing the powerful Harvest Sect fall apart, the Hunting Sect suddenly became the most powerful sect in the Thousand Gods Empire.

Something changed in Theresa's heart as well.

"ok, I get it."

Afterwards, Theresa took the initiative to help Richard contact those men who had joined the Forsaken of God.

"Teresa, you really don't want to be buried with the dead gods, do you?"

A female voice came from the communication device, and Theresa curled her lips.

"I was saved by a powerful Saint. Where are you gathered now? This Saint wants to join you."

"A powerful Saint?"

The female voice in the messaging equipment did not sound joyful, but full of doubt.

"Could they be spies sent by those sects?"

Richard couldn't help but ask, "Do you think that with the current strength of you God-Forsaken, do the people of the Hunting Sect need to send a strong man from the Holy Land as a spy?"

Indeed, that powerful man from the Holy Land is not the highest level in the sect, so how could he possibly go into danger and work for the gods behind him!

The female voice paused, then told Richard and Theresa the time and place to meet.

After receiving the message from her former subordinate, Theresa also glanced at Richard beside her.

"what happened?"

Richard noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked.

"It's okay, I just want to join your sect and believe in your gods, is that okay?"

"Why? Don't you believe in the God of Harvest?"

Richard was puzzled and couldn't figure out what Theresa was planning.

However, Richard was certainly welcoming of a legendary bishop joining the Tiger God Sect. After all, there were not many legendary strongmen in the Tiger God Sect, and Theresa had been trained to be the future saint and bishop since she was a child, so she must have learned many ways to seduce believers.

Of course, that assumes Theresa doesn't have any bad ideas.

Theresa gave a shy smile. "Isn't the God of Harvest dead?"

"And didn't you just say that? The God of Harvest is no different from other god-level powerful beings?"

Richard still couldn't understand why Theresa suddenly changed her beliefs.

Continue to question Theresa.

“It’s probably just a habit!”

Theresa's mind flashed back to the past few decades, from the time her talent was revealed to the time when she was fought over by clergymen of several sects.

Then she saw the "miracles" performed by the clergy of the Harvest Sect, which greatly shocked Teresa's young mind as she came from a peasant family, and she decisively chose to join the Harvest Sect.

In the following decades, Theresa did realize her childhood wish and even became more powerful than the clergy at that time. However, suddenly one day, news came from the capital of the Thousand Gods Empire that the God of Harvest was killed by several gods.

Even the Saint and the Pope of the Harvest Sect in the imperial capital were captured and sacrificed.

In an instant, Theresa became one of the most powerful bishops of the Harvest Sect.

But after decades of growth, Theresa is no longer the young and ignorant little girl she used to be.

She knew that those so-called God-forsaken people would never amount to anything, and the only fate that awaited them was to be sacrificed in blood.

So she didn't choose to commit suicide directly, but she didn't run away either.

However, she didn't expect that when she was facing death, Richard descended from the sky and saved her life.

"I've gotten used to being a bishop. If I were asked to give up my faith, I don't know what I would do."

Such words came out of Theresa's mouth.

Richard was touched by her words and immediately agreed to let Theresa join the Tiger God Sect.

Of course, the main purpose was still because of Theresa’s strength and what she had learned from the Harvest Sect.

For example, the sacred magic unique to the Harvest Sect.

Although the Tiger God can also grow quickly and obtain a large amount of food, Richard's subordinates are not just in one dimension, but in hundreds of different dimensions.

Richard himself was too lazy to waste his energy on a little food, so it was basically Kelly and her group of wizards who took care of it.

Now with Theresa joining, Kelly's pressure can be relieved.

Richard used water element magic to cast a water mirror.

The majestic and sacred form of the tiger god revealed in the water mirror surprised Teresa.

Although she was somewhat surprised that the Tiger God was a magical beast, the most incredible thing was that the Tiger God possessed a more pure sacred aura than the God of Harvest.

It is no wonder that a genius like Richard, who is well aware of the ins and outs of the gods in the wizarding world, would also believe in the Tiger God.

Even though Theresa still had some other thoughts in her mind just now, at this moment, she was much more pious to the Tiger God.

Richard could also clearly feel that the power of faith provided by Theresa's faith was surging like a waterfall.

If the rest of the wizarding world's humans were a trickle, Theresa was an ocean.

Richard could probably guess why Theresa could provide him with so much power of faith.

As a genius bishop of the Harvest Church, she must have entered the origin of the wizarding world many times to practice, and she carries more original power of the wizarding world than believers of the same level.

"Alright, let's quickly reunite with your former subordinates!"

Theresa nodded, and then Richard took action, hiding the figures of the two people and rushed towards the address in the message.

When he arrived at the place, Richard discovered that it was actually a church of the Poseidon sect, and there were people coming and going in the church.

Unexpectedly, the Forsaken of God would choose the church of the Poseidon Sect as their gathering place.

Before Richard expressed his opinion, Theresa said in surprise: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. The Forsaken of God probably has this in mind."

Richard also nodded. The darkness under the lamp can indeed confuse people for a while.

However, this is assuming there are no traitors among the Forsaken of God. It is estimated that they will not be able to stay under the Poseidon Church for long.

From the agreed place, Richard and Theresa entered the basement of the Church of Poseidon and successfully found the agreed Forsaken of God.

He was also Kama, a butler who once served under Theresa.

In addition to Kama, there are several legendary-level Forsaken Gods, as well as nearly a hundred Forsaken Gods below the legendary level. These weaker Forsaken Gods look terrified.

The gods they believed in died, and they themselves were being hunted down by the Thousand Gods Empire. It was obvious that these gods-forsaken people were not having an easy time these days, living in fear every day.

If it weren't for the fact that the Thousand Gods Sect would perform blood sacrifices on anyone they captured and would not accept prisoners at all, they would not be willing to join the ranks of those abandoned by God.

Richard originally thought that by shouting the slogan of "Forsaken of Gods", these clergymen who originally held high positions in the Thousand Gods Empire would be able to make a name for themselves, but from the current perspective, Richard could not help but feel a little disappointed.

"Bishop Theresa, am I the powerful Saint who saved you?"

Kama looked at Richard's young face and found it hard to believe.

Theresa was already the most talented person she had ever met, but now he was only at the peak of Legend. However, the young man in front of her actually looked younger than Theresa.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Richard exuded the pressure of a powerful Saint Realm warrior, causing several legendary Forsaken Gods who approached him to feel as if they were on the edge of an abyss.

The pressure disappeared in just a moment, but cold sweat ran down the foreheads of several legendary warriors.

The strength Richard had just displayed was even greater than that of the Pope of their original sect.

Several people knelt down quickly, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Richard nodded with satisfaction. After seeing the strength of the God-forsaken gathered here, Richard knew that this was just a very small gathering place. It was probably because it was too close to the border, and these sects did not arrange too many clergymen.

So Richard didn't waste any time and directly showed his strength to take the initiative.
