These people dared to deceive even a demigod of the Temple like myself, Karandu thought they were beyond saving.

Karandu waved his hand, controlling these people, and then began cross-referencing the materials to find their issues. As a demigod, Karandu was strong in all aspects and had remarkable influence.

He quickly formed a team, gathering many capable and loyal believers.

With their involvement, investigating those in high positions became much easier. They wouldn't hide anything, believing what they were doing was just, and they all had immense enthusiasm.

Many of these people were originally from the Temple or had some relationship with the upper echelons.

They were very clear about internal matters unknown to others, making the investigation easier.

A few days later, Zhao Guang of the Xuanwu Kingdom received a piece of news that stunned him.

"A major purge in the Temple? Has Karandu gone mad?"

According to the information, Karandu conducted a massacre, slaughtering family after family on the list.

Indeed, it wasn't one by one, as those high-ranking individuals all had families behind them. Extracting the Temple's benefits strengthened their families, so those families had to relinquish these benefits.

Many people didn't even have faith, so they couldn't pursue the Temple's cultivation path.

Therefore, they mastered many other cultivation methods, obtaining various combat energy cultivation methods through different means over the years, with many families having numerous Great Knights.

Unfortunately, they only had combat energy cultivation methods, and not much in the way of magic.

On one hand, these things were difficult to acquire, and on the other hand, Mages had always been at odds with the Temple.

The last point is that if one has the talent to become a Mage, the talent to become a Priest is also not bad. Even if faith prevents one from becoming a Priest, isn't there still a significant number of Light professionals?

The most steadfast believers were mainly in the Holy Knight Team.

Unfortunately, Holy Knights were mostly fighters, with none of their kind among the senior ranks.

The current situation was that those Holy Knights and the outside ascetic monks couldn't manage such a large Temple organization, while the Temple's senior ranks and their families were mostly being wiped out.

"Perhaps it's because of their unwavering faith, yet now he's likely having a headache."

Xi Fei was also bewildered; unless there was a rebellion, never before had there been talk of a major leadership change.

Only the Temple, unrestrained by anything, could do such a thing. Even the Beastmen couldn't achieve this, as they often replaced their own ranks through internal strife.

"Forget it, it doesn't concern us; the Temple's actions don't affect us much."

Now, Zhao Guang most wanted to enhance his own strength, believing that once he became a god, everything else would be of no concern.

Though in the Otherworld, Divines couldn't enter the Main World, it likely wouldn't be the same on Earth. Since that world isn't a planar type but a planetary type. If necessary, he could figure it out later.

He believed that with his analytical abilities, he would come up with a solution.

Not having become a Divine, Zhao Guang's sense of crisis was growing more acute.

Some things can't be avoided just because one wishes it. Every action now causes significant turmoil. Even doing nothing, prior setups would continue to develop on their own.

His actions would eventually confront those Divines; Zhao Guang wished to avoid offending the Divines, but it seemed impossible now.

Therefore, before facing the Divines, he could only enhance his strength as much as possible, ideally becoming a god himself.

Moreover, recently was a period of explosive growth in strength; with extensive accumulation in the previous phase, it was now time to flourish. External matters could be temporarily set aside.

What Zhao Guang didn't know was that Karandu indeed had a major headache.

While he had the satisfaction of killing, eliminating those he deemed corrupt among the senior ranks and their families along the way.

However, among those left behind, few had the ability to manage such a large Temple. These people couldn't keep control, leading to the Temple appearing on the verge of collapse.

It wasn't just their Light Temple but all Temples concerning order were in such a state.

As a demigod of the Temple Alliance, he was qualified to help other Temples purge corrupt elements. This was the first time he had done such a thing; though he understood some aspects, he refused to compromise, ending up in this mess.

"What to do now? If it continues like this, the Temple will lose control, and the front line will have issues."

Karandu regretted it somewhat, thinking he should have initially left some people behind to gradually replace them later. As for most others, he should have sent them to the front line, as they did before.

Even in death, they should be of some value, rather than being killed by him on the spot.

Everyone exchanged glances, and none had a good solution.

After some discussion, they finally came up with a less-than-perfect solution.

In the following period, the Temple began launching aggressive attacks against the Evil God Temple. The attacks grew increasingly fierce, causing significant challenges for the Evil God Temple, which had previously felt stable.

Faced with the suddenly fanatic Temple army, the people there were utterly baffled.

"What's going on? Why have they suddenly become so frenzied, and why is their attack pattern so strange?"

Zhao Guang couldn't make sense of what he read from the information.

Xi Fei explained: "According to our intelligence, the Temple changed its strategy."

"What strategy, to make these people behave like mad dogs." Zhao Guang was even more puzzled.

"It is like this, the Temple's upper echelons suddenly issued an order, purging the fallen high ranks, which left a serious manpower shortage. So now, to gain a position, one can exchange for it with military merit."

"So merit is rewarded to those attacking the Evil God Temple, gained through war?"

Xi Fei nodded: "That's roughly it. We don't know their internal calculating methods, but judging by these people's appearances, we can infer some things."

Zhao Guang laughed; it seemed that the Temple on the Delan Continent was about to transform.

After all, among those attacking insanely were many only tangentially related to the Temple. While it seemed to resolve major issues, it actually introduced even more chaos.

Though those people were corrupt, at least they were somewhat genuine believers, just a bit self-serving. As for the newcomers, even their faith wasn't as pure.
