It might be said that a considerable portion of the marine clans had already been quite loyal and fervent towards Ji Chen, thus they were more than willing to believe in the Oceanic Faith with him as their leader.

On the first day that the Ocean Spreaders arrived at the Great Luminescent Sea, over a hundred thousand intelligent marine beings became believers of the Oceanic Faith.

Seven days later…

Thirty percent of the intelligent marine beings in the Great Luminescent Sea became followers of the Oceanic Faith.

One month later…

All the major gathering points of intelligent marine beings in the Great Luminescent Sea became believers, and the Ocean Spreaders began to spread their faith in the remote areas of the sea.

Two months later…

All known intelligent marine beings in the Great Luminescent Sea became followers of the Oceanic Faith, believing in the only god, Ji Chen. Following this, the Ocean Spreaders, whose numbers continued to grow, ventured out from the Crown of the Ocean to spread their faith across the depths of the oceans. Their arrival brought hope and belief in the revival of the marine clans, who had long been submerged in countless ages, thus providing them with the capital to face the imminent crisis that was gradually approaching.

Of course, these were events that occurred later.

At this moment, Ji Chen turned his attention to a post on the forum that had gained quite some popularity.

“Breaking News! It seems like a treasure is appearing in this place, and the world is changing!”

Some posters, as usual, used eye-catching headlines to attract attention. Clicking into the thread, sure enough, there were people ranting and raving.

“They have no work other than creating clickbait titles; I can’t believe they didn’t even bother to write a title this time.”

“I just want to see what nonsense is inside, I’ve been seeing such headlines every day.”

“Blocked (pouting).”

The original poster replied.

“Ahem, everyone, please be patient, let me explain.”

“I’m not just a clickbaiter. Last night, just as I was about to sleep, I suddenly saw a dazzling green light from a swamp outside my territory. It was as bright as a little sun.”

“A green light… Could this be radiation? Is there uranium in this world?” Suddenly, someone interjected.

“Don’t interrupt me!”

“Then I took my army to see what it was. I thought if it was some ancient relic or some treasure being born, I would hit the jackpot!”

“And then? Did you find a treasure trove, or did you find Patrick Star’s house?”

“…When I got there, I found that the light was emitted by a dark green light cluster. The light cluster kept emitting a terrifying dark green gas, with extremely strong corrosiveness. Within a radius of thousands of meters centered on it, everything was desolate. All the plants withered, even the rocks and soil were covered with a layer of dark green.

I didn’t dare to approach, so I posted to ask you all, what is this thing?”

“Dark green, corrosive? It reminds me of Little Doctor, seems like some special power.”

“If you say that, I also found a similar light cluster in a mountain valley in the past few days, but it was guarded by a powerful troll tribe…”

Light cluster, special power.

Ji Chen knew that this was the so-called remnant authorities left behind by the fallen gods during the first Divine War.

The power of these remnants wasn’t as potent as that of the official divine authorities; it ranked below the top, middle, and lower divine authorities. Nonetheless, it still wielded considerable force.

After a moment of contemplation, Ji Chen wrote a reply.

“The light cluster is the remnant authority left by the fallen gods during the first Divine War.”

With this sentence, the whole thread exploded.

Not because of this sentence, but because the speaker was Ji Chen. No one could imagine how high Ji Chen’s prestige was among the player community now.

He was the one who slew three Demon Kings singlehandedly.

Wiping out the Dread Legion, defeating the Undead Legion, and causing chaos in the Decay Legion.

Lord of the Crown of the Ocean.

Above-Epic Tier.

Ally of the Elven Empire.

A solo player with a strong voice.

And so on.

A series of halos kept accumulating, making him the most prestigious and prominent player.

Humans have a gene for admiring strength.

No one knew how many players regarded Ji Chen as their idol and the emblem of glory. Although Ji Chen had never claimed to be the “number one player” or anything like that, in the hearts of many players, Ji Chen was undoubtedly the “number one player”!

Every word and action of his would attract the high attention of the player community.

At this moment, his sudden appearance in the thread naturally drew the close attention of everyone present.

— “The light cluster is the remnant authority left by the fallen gods during the first Divine War?”

“Remnant authority left by the fallen gods?”

“Remnant authority? I remember the game data saying that this thing is the most top-notch power in ‘Lord of Glory,’ containing some kind of rule. As long as you control it, you can gain powerful strength!”

“If these clusters of light are indeed authorities, then obtaining them would be like reaching the sky in a single bound.”

With this thought, many players in the forum couldn’t sit still, their hearts instantly ignited with excitement.

In an instant, a large group of people disappeared from the forum, all hurrying to search for traces of the powers. The thread’s original poster and the players who claimed to have seen the authorities were nowhere to be found, presumably busy searching or attempting to control the authorities they discovered.

For these minor powers, if players could control them, it wouldn’t be a big deal, or perhaps it would be a better choice.

From various channels, fragmentary information suggested that it was still a mystery how the dark gods broke the seal. The lawful gods also seemed to be plotting something, and then there was the elven mother goddess, Eluvita, what reason did she have to help him?

All of this was unknown, but Ji Chen could faintly feel that the demon invasion was just the beginning of a series of events.

Behind everything, there lurks some yet-to-be-discovered presence.

If he could accelerate the development of other players, and have a few more outstanding individuals, perhaps in the future, when facing the unknown, there would be a bit more assistance, so he wouldn’t have to bear all the pressure alone.

“My lord, I have something to report.”

Ji Chen paused, closing the forum.

“Come in.”

Wilus gently pushed the door open and entered, still wearing the same respectful and solemn expression he had maintained for ten years, bowing as he spoke.

“My lord, an envoy from the Light Church has arrived at the New Moon Islands, requesting an audience with you.”

Ji Chen was slightly surprised.

An envoy from the Light Church?

Come to think of it, the only dealings he had with the Light Church were when, before the demon invasion, one of the six sects of the Light Church, the Radiant Sect, attacked the Ocean Crown hundreds of miles away.

The Ocean Crown repelled the fleet of the Radiant Sect, capturing thousands of Radiant believers.

It seemed that the Light Church also felt ashamed because the Radiant Sect had indeed rebelled against the Orderly Faction and even attacked the Ocean Crown, which also belonged to the Orderly Faction. There were no subsequent public declarations from them.

Both sides silently suppressed this matter.

Now, a messenger from the Church of Light suddenly visits, could it be that they want to bring up this matter again?

“Bring them to see me.”

“Yes!” Wilus bowed and exited the gate, quickly bringing in several robed messengers.

The one leading them wore a white robe trimmed with gold thread, appearing to hold a high position.

“Respected Lord Ji Chen, Ivah Tullan brings sincere greetings from the three bishops to you.”

Ji Chen casually sat on the throne, nodding slightly.

“I also extend my greetings to them… You’ve traveled thousands of miles from the distant Eastern Continent, what is the purpose of your visit?”

Ivah Tullan’s expression was slightly anxious as he bowed, saying, “Lord Ji Chen, I have come this time to… seek aid from the Ocean Crown.”

“Aid? Has the situation in the Eastern Continent deteriorated to such an extent that it requires support from the distant Ocean Crown? Didn’t the Elven Empire and several northern continent kingdoms send thirty elite legions to assist?”

Ivah Tullan’s face was extremely bitter. “They’re all gone.”

This time, Ji Chen was genuinely astonished.

Although the compositions of forces and legions varied among different powers and kingdoms, a legion typically consisted of at least ten thousand soldiers. These thirty legions would have had at least two million troops.

The loss of these entire thirty elite legions was no simple matter.
