Chapter 769 He Is Here (Two-in-One)
After three hours of integration into the Heavenly Curtain, Lin Rui ordered Wang Tianwu, whose injuries had just healed and whose complexion was still a bit pale, to arrive at the headquarters church of the Sixth Base City of the Light King Sect.
It was evening worship time. As he approached, he heard the vast holy song emanating from the massive church, capable of holding 500,000 people.
The surroundings of the church were tense, with solid barricades built at every intersection, guarded by a large number of armored cars and soldiers, and engineers were installing temporary turrets on both sides of the street.
Wang Tianwu entered the church doors, seeing the sunset light through the stained glass turning the Light Cathedral of the Sixth District into a golden hue.
Inside, hundreds of thousands of believers held copies of the "Light Holy Scripture" issued by the Light King Sect, singing in unison with the accompaniment of the organ.
"The Holy Thunder splits the sky, Tribulation Fire burns the dust, all things are born from one thought, returning to purity and light—"
Wang Tianwu noticed that most of the believers in the front rows had solemn expressions, their hands clenching the scriptures, singing with loud and devout voices that surged like waves, resounding under the dome of the church.
Their eyes were filled with steadfast determination, flickering with fervent passion, as if they intended to offer their very souls to the "King of Light."
However, in the back rows, many believers' eyes wandered aimlessly, mechanically syncing their mouth movements with the rhythm. Despite singing with the crowd, there was a hint of perfunctoriness in their voices.
Wang Tianwu even heard a few people singing the holy song off-key.
"The Holy Thunder splits the sky, dawn spills over the golden cup, two holy eggs lie still on the white holy platter, Tribulation Fire burns the dust, transforming into milky nectar—"
"One births all things, all things return to the source, Thunder is your language, boiling the morning milk, flame is your radiance, frying the holy eggs."
Wang Tianwu's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself, do these people really consider the BOSS the lord of milk and eggs?
Who invented this ridiculous milk and egg holy song?
He shook his head, considering that these people's thoughts had probably already drifted to the dining halls outside the church.
Besides offering breakfast to believers, the Light God Sect also runs affordable cafeterias that provide various low-cost foods to the faithful.
In just two and a half years, followers of the Sixth District increased from over 10 million to nearly 3.5 billion, but truly devout believers were few.
The vast majority came for the milk and eggs.
Can the BOSS stabilize the True Spirit by leveraging these 'egg believers'? It's hard to say if it will work.
However, this grand worship ceremony was indeed awe-inspiring and exhilarating.
Wang Tianwu then walked along the priest's path, entering the deepest part of the church.
There, a broad basement housed two 'Jingyi Altars' side by side.
These were the altars BOSS had created for the Sixth and Seventh Base Cities. Due to the financial constraints of the Forest Group at the time, the design capacity was set at only 280 million people.
Later, with the financial support of the Central Continent's master, the subsequent 'Jingyi Altars' were all built with a capacity of 500 million people.
As a result, BOSS moved the 'Jingyi Altar' originally allocated for the Seventh Base to here for joint use.
The basement was incredibly spacious, with only a handful of people like Fei Yunlai and the two leading characters, Qi Lingwei and Lei Hai Shuangjun.
Additionally, there were three 'Hearts of Light'!
Their appearances were almost identical, though the details varied slightly. Furthermore, their necks carried very covert codes, perceivable only by the upper echelons of the Light King Sect and the Forest Rui Fang Group.
With one glance, Wang Tianwu recognized them as numbers 1, 6, and 13.
He was secretly shocked — had the manufacturing of Hearts of Light reached number 13? Just over two months ago, they had only reached number 6, and now number 13 was already completed? Such rapid progress?
Could this also be the work of that Mechanical Grandmaster?
It was rumored that in early June, another top-notch Mechanical Grandmaster joined under the BOSS, someone who also excelled in artifact refining, whose craftsmanship was unparalleled, surpassing the three existing Mechanical Grandmasters of the Forest Group.
This person supposedly crafted parts by hand with molecular-level precision, approximately 0.3 to 0.4 nanometers, able to manipulate all metal molecules to arrange according to Sky Extreme Star's rune technology, thus gaining more powerful characteristics, greater strength, and more capacity for Ether Element Spirits.
Reportedly, on the day this individual joined the BOSS, they independently designed blueprints and crafted a 'Rune Metal Processing Printer,' capable of printing various metal components.
The 3D nano printing, also known as nano additive manufacturing technology, layers materials based on digital models from the nanoscale, creating solid parts.
Thus, it was no longer about simply engraving runes but applying nano rune technology, enabling the computer to design components with 'molecular-level' array talisman arrangements for printing.
Crucially, they also designed a powerful set of rune CAD software, allowing engineers to operate in a foolproof manner on computers, designing powerful rune systems according to their requirements.
It was said that even the East Asian side was extremely envious, willing to offer some top-secret technology in exchange for this rune technology from the Forest Group.
Fei Yunlai sensed Wang Tianwu's arrival and looked back with a hint of surprise: "Didn't expect the BOSS would send you over. How are you? Have you recovered? I watched your battle video, and the injuries from that fight seemed quite severe."
A month ago, Wang Tianwu fought solo against a weak Divine Envoy-level and three council member-level strong enemies. If Ji Xueying had not arrived in time for rescue, Wang Tianwu's head might have been separated.
