Worldwide Simulation Era

The energy gathered like a tide and gradually formed an illusionary baby's body above the City God Temple.

The ocean of power of faith gave birth to giant dragons, which shuttled back and forth. Finally, they all burrowed into the baby's body and fused with it.

Washed by the endless power of faith, the baby's shadow was beautiful, sometimes like a flawless jade and sometimes like a dazzling sun.

The phenomenon broke through the sky, and the holy light once again spread throughout the Holy King City.

After the last battle with the Seven-Headed Demon, everyone in the Holy King City territory knew about Lord Holy Infant's strength in Tata Village.

Seeing this miracle again, more and more people began to look forward to it and wanted to go to Tata Village to pay their respects.

"City Lord, the refugees from all over the world are now heading to Tata Village, and the fiends from the East, West, and North are also moving out wantonly. It seems they wanted to join the Temple Master of the Holy Infant Temple.

In the City Lord's manor, the City Lord was listening to the report from his subordinate.

He sighed helplessly. "Let them be. Maybe it's a good thing to get his protection."

The person reporting the news was somewhat puzzled. Why had the City Lord's attitude towards the Holy Infant Temple Master changed so much?

Before this, he clearly had his dissatisfaction written all over his face, but now, he started to feel glad that the Holy Infant was here.

"You may leave. In the future, you don't have to report to me if you encounter this again."

"Yes."

After his subordinates had left, the City Lord lowered his head and looked at the black jade slip in his hand.

"Is the calamity in the prophecy finally coming?"

While the City Lord was in a daze, the other City Lords of the Shang Empire had also received the same black jade slip.

There was only one message in the jade slip: The prophecy mentioned the appearance of a disaster. Starting now, we will prepare for battle.

The message did not specify the time of the disaster's arrival, but the one who sent the message stood at the top of the world.

Even the royal family of the Shang Empire had to be polite and back off in front of that person.

...

Tata Village.

It had been more than a month since Lin Qiye had used his soul as a mold to reconstruct his Outer Dao Dharma.

The magnificent view had also been on display for more than a month.

"With this energy-gathering formation, the speed of gathering energy is impressive. However, the amount of energy I can absorb every day seems limited. I've only barely completed the forging process now."

When Lin Qiye's consciousness seeped into his body, his flesh and blood had basically taken shape.

"It'll probably take another half a month to completely reconstruct it. Forget it. I'll just use some materials to save time," He muttered.

Time was crucial to him now because he didn't know when the demons would come to attack.

Therefore, he planned to speed up the reconstruction process of his clone without consuming any precious materials.

His consciousness sank into the Life Lantern Gem.

He kept all the important materials, taking out the rest of the overlapping parts and the other messy materials, and throwing them all to the baby statue in the temple.

Of course, not all of the materials would be devoured and refined. Some materials that were no help to the physical body would be quickly expelled.

Lin Qiye simply waited. He would keep whatever was spat out.

Just as he was collecting the useless materials, a weird feeling suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, immediately attracting his attention.

"What's going on?"

A throbbing sensation made his heart beat wildly.

It was like a commoner suddenly learning that he had won a hundred million yuan.

Following that feeling, he saw a black pearl floating inside the baby's phantom, emitting a faint, strange rhythm.

"It's from this thing?"

The moment Lin Qiye saw the black pearl, he recalled that he had obtained it after killing the White Dragon.

As there was a seal inside that he couldn't break, it was temporarily put aside.

He had never thought it would arouse the desire in the depths of his soul.

Lin Qiye didn't know the situation, but from what he could feel, it shouldn't be bad for him.

"This thing seems to be quite extraordinary. However, I can't absorb it now. It seems I can only fuse it into my clone and slowly study it in the future."

There was still a seal within the black pearl. Although the Outer Dao Dharma resonated with it, Lin Qiye still had no way of breaking it.

After studying it for a long time and failing to control it, Lin Qiye could only put it aside.

The physical body of the Outer Dao Dharma had been reconstructed after the fusion of many materials.

The moment the clone reappeared, the strange phenomenon above Tata Village suddenly disappeared.

Fortunately, the villagers had seen many big scenes.

When they saw the strange phenomenon disappear, they were only surprised for a short while and quickly recovered.

At the same time, Butcher and the others saw that the strange phenomenon had disappeared and knew Lin Qiye had come out of seclusion. Therefore, they went to greet him immediately.

"Did anything unusual happen during this time?"

Lin Qiye asked Butcher and the others.

"My Lord, many fiends have been coming to seek refuge recently, and the reaction of Holy King City's City Lord seems a little strange."

Butcher replied respectfully.

"Oh? What's the situation?"

Lin Qiye thought the City Lord had made a move on him.

"Recently, the refugees from the East, West, and North of the Holy King City have all moved to our side, but there is no response from the City Lord."
