The moment Sain heard this, after just exhaling a sigh of relief, his forehead was instantly covered in sweat, and his legs gave way, directly kneeling before Lu Yan.

"M-Master, what did you say?" Sain stammered, his rough fingers unconsciously tracing a strange symbol on his chest, as if praying for some kind of protection.

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly but still repeated the question.

"I'm planning to establish a church. Are you interested in joining?"

Upon receiving a definitive response, Sain instantly panicked.

After ensuring no one else was around in the reception room, Sain lowered his voice with effort and said, "Master, I heard nothing, and I know nothing!"

His initially rough voice turned almost into a plea, and beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

"I'm just a small-time gang leader. Whether you want to kill or maim is up to you, or even if you want me to assassinate nobles, that's fine."

"But such matters must never be spoken of recklessly!" His final words were whispered, his eyes full of pleading, as if Lu Yan's proposal was far more terrifying than murder and assassination by a thousand folds.

Indeed, in the Seven Great Kingdoms, as long as you have sufficient strength, you can establish gangs, commit murder and arson, and rob nobles.

In this society endowed with Extraordinary Power, strength is the foundation of everything.

If you reach Sequence 4 and become a saint walking in the mortal realm, even the King would consider you an honored guest.

But there is one thing that remains a taboo within the Seven Great Kingdoms.

Faith!

The Seven Major Gods Church values faith to an unimaginable extent, and anyone who dares to meddle with it becomes the enemy of the Seven Major Gods Church.

In ancient legends, the world harbors more than just seven deities; there are Hidden Gods and Evil Gods lying in the shadows.

But those deities were defeated in divine wars, leaving only the Seven True Gods to enjoy the faith under the sun.

In contrast, Hidden Gods and Evil Gods must hide in the darkness, stealing heretical faith neglected by the True God Church.

Even the kingdom's nobles and burgeoning capitalists merely wish to garner more power from the church, having no intention of touching faith.

This is why the church can tolerate the kingdom's nobles and capitalists pushing for the industrial revolution.

Something even the kingdom's nobles and capitalists dare not touch, much less Sain, a mere gang leader.

Having entered the Extraordinary Sequence, Sain knew if he offended the nobles, it would at worst be certain death.

But to offend the church, with their endless bizarre methods, death might be considered a relief.

It was precisely for these reasons that Sain was so terrified.

Lu Yan merely glanced at Sain with an indifferent expression: "I'm not in a hurry, so why are you panicking?"

Sain suddenly paused.

He then realized that before him was someone, possibly of Sequence 5, who should understand Extraordinary matters concerning the church and faith better than him.

Since Lu Yan proposed this matter, perhaps there was some misunderstanding that had led him to not grasp the master's intentions?

Upon considering this, Sain tentatively asked:

"The church master mentioned, could it merely be an organizational term like a merchant union or something akin?"

Lu Yan shook his head, "Exactly the kind you know, similar to the Seven Gods Church."

The newly risen hope in Sain's heart sank once more.

"However, there is a tiny difference between our church and the Seven Gods Church."

Sain's expression froze as he listened to Lu Yan, who spoke with a meaningful smile:

"The True Gods of the Seven Gods Church have long slumbered, but behind our church, there is a True God in reality!"

As Lu Yan's words fell, the entire reception room instantly froze, the space seemed to be expanded by an invisible hand, and the narrow room appeared to transform into a small Realm.

Within this room, Sain could only feel that everything around him was undergoing a transformation, the original ceiling turning into an endless chaos, and beyond that chaos, it seemed as though an immensely towering presence was casting a glance upon this place.

In an instant, the spirituality within Sain surged fervently.

The Extraordinary Path he embarked on was the incomplete Abyssal Pathway, said to have originated from numerous powerful Dark Creatures, who gathered their own spirituality to form the Abyssal Pathway.

From the Sequence 9 Ghoul, Sequence 8 Vampire, to the Seventh Rank Werewolf, they all correspond to different Dark Creatures.

However, these Dark Creatures lacked sufficient Position to support a complete path, causing the Abyssal Pathway to halt at the Seventh Rank Werewolf, with his spirituality being chaotic and volatile, always at risk of Extraordinary aberration.

Yet as that magnificent presence cast its glance and ignited Sain's spirituality, he could clearly sense his spirituality was being continuously purified, and the abyssal traits from his past experiences as a Ghoul and a Vampire were gradually dissipating during the spiritual purification process.

However, the blessings under the great gaze extended far beyond this.

More astoundingly, the Seventh Rank Werewolf should have been the terminus of the Abyssal Pathway, yet at this moment he could sense that the great presence, wielding supreme Divine Power, was extending the once-broken Extraordinary Pathway further.

Sequence 6: Minotaur

In legend, the formidable creature with a bull's head and a human's body wielded immense power, mastering Totem Skill and the Power of the Earth.

Intriguingly, Sain vaguely sensed the Sequence 6 Minotaur, after being transformed by the grand presence, was endowed with certain legendary capabilities previously non-existent.
