The good news is, when facing the group of living corpses cautiously crossing the previous boundary line and baring their fangs at the surviving believers, the believers weren't too panicked.

The bad news is, the reason they weren't panicked is because there was the Fire Master present.

"Oh no, the living corpses are coming, could it be that the Soul Light Cathedral will also..."

"Shut up, focus on praying, with the Fire Master Pope here, what are you panicking about?"

"That's right, look at the Fire Master Pope's calm expression, you know everything is within his control. How can mere living corpses harm the Divine Envoy under the protection of the God."

"That's true indeed!"

...

Listening to the surrounding believers' discussions, the Fire Master just wanted to retort, I'm controlling nothing!

Apart from gathering you here, providing Wish Power like sacrifices continuously, nothing that happened afterward was within his control.

Even so, having been pushed up by the believers, he couldn't retreat.

Although the believers said they weren't afraid, their eyes were all on him. If he retreated, their faith would collapse, and the Wish Power condensed by their steadfast belief might also be affected.

The Fire Master sighed, there was no choice but to brace himself!

With a wave of his hand, the Undying Soul Fire from the top of the Soul Light Cathedral flew over, condensing into a flame giant before him.

The flame giant moved, sweeping away more than a dozen living corpses that had crossed the boundary line. Any corpse touched by the flame giant would have their head engulfed by a pale red flame.

Under the burning flames, the living corpses emitted screams similar to living people, and within a few breaths, the pale red flame would reduce the living corpses' heads to ashes, even the Blood Moon Power couldn't restore them.

This was once the Fire Master's signature move, the Soul-Burning Flame.

After the wick of the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp was stolen, in order to continue the Undying Soul Fire that symbolized the Soul Light Church, he could only use the Soul-Burning Flame that he had used before acquiring the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp.

The Eternal Night Torch that condenses the Soul-Burning Flame is a purely offensive A-Level Item, a treasure he risked his life to obtain from a heavily polluted A-Level replica.

In terms of aggression alone, the effect of the Soul-Burning Flame was not inferior to that of the Age Fire Lamp, and its damage was even stronger, but it greatly differed in functionality.

Since acquiring the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp, the Soul-Burning Flame had gone from a beloved darling to a discarded mistress, and he even prepared to sell the Eternal Night Torch to acquire materials to rebuild the lampshade of the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp.

Now it seems, although the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp is good, it would run away with others, while the Eternal Night Torch had always stayed by his side, never leaving.

Wielding the Soul-Burning Flame, the Fire Master grew more adept, not needing the assistance of the Soul Light Church's Knights, standing firm against the tide of living corpses like a god on earth, alone.

The Age Fire originally appeared in the Abyss Second Layer, a special flame of high rank, but because its rank was too high, even the Reincarnated Saint of Fire had difficulty driving it.

While powerful in use, there was always a sense of disharmony, unable to achieve unity between man and fire.

But with the Soul-Burning Flame, there was no such rawness, and after not using it for a long time, the cooperation was still harmonious, as if they had never parted.

This feeling made the Fire Master feel as if he had regained his first love.

With the rekindling of his youthful spirit, the Fire Master stood atop the flame giant's shoulder, controlling it while leading the believers in loud prayers.

The Fire Master's great slaughter reaffirmed the believers' faith that the Soul Light Sect was under divine protection, causing the Wish Power to surge again.

The Tree of Miracles on the observation deck of the Soul Light Cathedral shone with brilliant, colorful light.

A miracle was born!

The Fire Master looked at the Tree of Miracles, unable to hold back tears of joy. It had not been easy; after all the tribulations, he finally summoned a miracle.

If not for needing to mind the believers around him, he would have rushed back to the top of the Soul Light Cathedral to plant a big kiss on the Eternal Night Torch within.

If he had another chance, he would never neglect the Soul-Burning Flame again.

Wait!

Why is there someone near the Undying Soul Fire, who is there!

Following the Fire Master's gaze, Wu Chang True Self was seen having somehow arrived at the top of the main hall, pulling out the Eternal Night Torch from the brazier.

Then the Fire Master saw Wu Chang True Self take out a lantern, the very Four-sided Age Fire Lamp he had lost.

How is this possible?!

The Four-sided Age Fire Lamp was not in Lei Hu's hands but was in that stranger's hands, yet according to Oda's intel, there was no trace of this person among the newly entered players.

Someone must have used disguise.

What was even harder for him to accept was that Wu Chang True Self, wielding the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp, directly controlled his Soul-Burning Flame, converting it entirely into Age Fire and storing it into the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp.

Then Wu Chang True Self fiddled with the extinguished Eternal Night Torch, casually throwing it back into the extinguished brazier like trash.

"Little Burn! No!"

For the Fire Master, who had just found his first love again, everything Wu Chang did had crossed the line of merely offending a man's spouse.

This to him was like a guy with dyed blonde hair bringing his ex-girlfriend to his house, playing with her in front of him, then casually discarding her.

What the Fire Master couldn't understand was why, when he wielded the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp, despite his Reincarnation into the Saint of Fire, he could merely control ordinary Extraordinary flames, hardly affecting something of the Soul-Burning Fire's level.

Why could that guy achieve such a degree?!

"You scoundrel! You're courting death!"

Blood filled the Fire Master's eyes; since the miracle was complete, he no longer needed to worry about the overall situation. With a wave of his hand, he had the flame giant turn into a fire cloud, carrying him straight towards the Soul Light Cathedral.

But with the living corpse bricks purified and the Undying Soul Fire extinguished, the Soul Light Cathedral was reduced to an ordinary church, losing its protective quality.

With the Fire Master leaving, the living corpses, stepping on their companions' corpses, rushed toward the believers who were no longer sheltered.

As members of Mikel Kingdom, at this moment, the believers showcased the unique piety of Mikel Kingdom.

They had no time to mourn the Fire Master's plight; without hesitation, they redirected their faith to the God who had manifested the first miracle.

The Fire Master had just landed on the observation deck of the Soul Light Cathedral, not yet having the chance to speak harshly to Wu Chang True Self, when he felt the direction of the Wish Power changing, the direction of the miracle's convergence rapidly slipping out of his control.

These fools, how could they be so fickle?

The Fire Master entirely forgot that it was the fickleness of the believers' faith that had allowed him to gather all the survivors' faith in times of crisis.

The concern of losing the miracle could not be allowed; he just wanted to turn back and stabilize the situation, managing it until the miracle fully cohered.

But a moment of distraction revealed that the Tree of Miracles was wilting significantly. A closer look found that two abnormal erosion points, which provided energy to the Tree of Miracles below, had been removed by someone.

True Self quickly pocketed the Mortal Poison, hands behind his back, looking up at the sky pretending nothing happened.

The Fire Master now understood, the root cause of all his problems was this scoundrel in front of him. Unless he eliminated this scoundrel, everything he did was just making a wedding gown for someone else.

True Self, looking up at the sky, sensed the murderous intent, turning his head towards the Fire Master, and said: "Let's go fight below, don't damage my tree."

The Fire Master was bursting with chest pains, "What do you mean your tree, that's mine, mine!"

But for the sake of the Tree of Miracles, he still followed True Self, leaping from the observation deck, ready to decide life and death in front of the Soul Light Cathedral.

Halfway down, while floating in midair, he suddenly saw a Golden Throne appear beneath Wu Chang True Self. The next moment, he saw a wave of Golden Light rushing toward him.

He tried to manipulate the flames to dodge, but as soon as the fire appeared, it was suppressed and collected by the Four-sided Age Fire Lamp.

Without his Fire Control Ability, the Fire Master lost his flying ability, unable to change direction or move in midair to avoid the enveloping Golden Light.

The Fire Master could only watch with open eyes as the Golden Light wrapped around him, then dragged him into the Golden Country.

After the two disappeared in the air, Wu Chang's true body rode an elevator to the observation deck.

He shook his head, "This kid is too trusting."

Then he turned to look at the Tree of Miracles and said, "Now, it's time to end everything."
