nThis battle ultimately ended in Ji Chen’s victory.

nHowever, despite the intense nature of the battle, his own army didn’t suffer significant damage.

nThe Nine Tyrant Azure Dragons, the core and formidable unit, though injured, none perished.

nAlice’s army of soul servants, around two thousand, saw six to seven hundred casualties, most of which were the relatively weaker Razor fin Seals. The “high-end” forces like the Four-Armed Nagas suffered minimal losses.

nIn all honesty, soul servants were expendable, and their deaths weren’t much of a concern. They could simply spend some time enslaving another batch.

nThinking about this, Ji Chen couldn’t help but shake his head.

nWho still remembered one of his initial goals upon arriving here – to enslave the creatures? Yet, unexpectedly, he ended up in a fierce battle against the Amos Temple Dark Acolytes and Razorfin Demons, a battle that left the world in chaos.

nNow, the Amos Temple Dark Acolytes were dead, leaving behind lifeless bodies.

nHowever, the negative energy field still emanated from the Amos Temple, continuously applying adverse effects.

nWith these thoughts in mind, Ji Chen spoke.

n“Alice, have the soul servants disperse and thoroughly inspect the surroundings for any remaining threats outside the temple.”

nAlice nodded and released the remaining soul servants, commencing a thorough, carpet-style search of the ruins.

nAfter about half an hour, the last group of soul servants returned.

n“We have not found any dangers or other enemies.”

nJi Chen nodded and turned his gaze to the center of the ruins, the Amos Temple.

nHis heart swelled with anticipation.

nSuch a grand temple, guarded by such a powerful presence of Amos Temple Dark Acolytes, should surely hold something valuable, shouldn’t it?

nIf it didn’t, that would be rather impolite.

nJi Chen and his group bypassed the frozen pillar containing the Amos Temple Dark Acolytes and arrived at the door, stopping in their tracks to look up.

nThis temple was undoubtedly majestic. If it were on land, it would undoubtedly be a marvel of architecture, even more imposing than Krieg Theredell’s laboratory.

nStanding in front of the massive green stone gate, which was more than ten meters tall, they felt like ants.

nJi Chen commanded dozens of soul servants to approach the stone door and begin pushing.

nThe enormous stone door slowly opened inward.

nAfter waiting for a while and seeing no issues, Ji Chen allowed some of the soul servants to enter as the vanguard, exploring the temple’s interior to ensure there were no dangers.

nOnce they confirmed that there were no hidden, sinister creatures inside, they entered with peace of mind.

nThe moment they passed through the door, their footsteps felt steady, and the oppressive feeling around their bodies disappeared.

nHowever, at the same time, the pressure from the Tidal Domain reached its peak, leaving only a space of less than fifty meters.

nIt seemed that the deeper they ventured into the temple, the stronger the negative energy field became.

nJi Chen adjusted his breathing.

nTurning back to look, a thin film stood above the door, completely sealing off the seawater, and the air returned.

nInside the temple, it was as if they were on solid land.

nWow, what kind of magical technology was this?

nIf they could obtain this kind of film technology, wouldn’t it be possible to build cities underwater?

nJi Chen suppressed his astonishment and instructed the Tyrant Azure Dragons outside not to enter. Otherwise, they might become stranded as soon as they entered.

nThen he looked inside the temple.

nThe interior was even more spacious than it appeared from the outside, with a dome that reached dozens of meters in height and a width spanning hundreds of meters from west to east.

nBut in this vast space, the first thing that caught the eye was a gigantic demon statue standing on the altar, almost as tall as the dome itself.

nWith razor-sharp fangs and a fierce demonic visage.

nThis appearance seemed almost identical to the previous demon statues, like the ones on the small island.

nFor some reason, one could always feel an extreme chill and coldness emanating from it, causing a cold sweat to trickle down their back involuntarily.

nBut when looked at more closely, it seemed like just an ordinary statue.

nLooking up into the eyes of the demon statue, Ji Chen wondered if it was due to the carving, but its gaze was fixated on the entrance, as if it were staring at them.

n“Well, it’s a bit creepy…”

nJi Chen muttered to himself but didn’t pay it much mind. After all, it was clear at a glance that this demon statue was just an inanimate object. Perhaps the cultists deliberately designed it this way to make outsiders feel the greatness of their faith.

nMany deity statues were designed like this, so there was nothing to be alarmed about.

nHe put that thought aside.

n“Search this place thoroughly for me, and don’t leave anything valuable behind.”

nWith the command given, the soul servants scattered in all directions within the temple, searching diligently.

nMeanwhile, Ji Chen walked toward the altar beneath the demon statue and began to observe it closely.

nThe altar was about ten meters high, and the altar walls were adorned with stone carvings.

nThese carvings seemed to tell a long-forgotten story.

nAs Ji Chen focused his gaze, his expression changed.

nThis story… was about the Divine War.

nJi Chen didn’t know much about the Divine War, only having learned a little from the pre-released game information.

nHe knew that this Divine War had ended the era of rampant deities, much like the meteor that had devastated the Tyrannosaur race, leading to countless creatures inhabiting this world and flourishing.

nIn other words, without this war among the gods, races like humans, elves, and others would have had no space for independent existence and development, only surviving at the mercy of the gods..
