244: A true god has arrived in the land of gods

The Luke Star System, located on the eastern edge of the Land of Contention for Godhood.

The Luke Clan, a minor clan with only God Ascension Fourth Order powerhouses, occupied a galaxy spanning 100,000 light-years, with 8,000 life planets predominantly inhabited by the Luke Clan, and a population of approximately 200 trillion.

Even such a small clan had affiliated clans and slave clans.

They had eight affiliated minor clans, with the strongest individual in each clan being only a God Ascension First Order. Only clans with God Ascension Order members were qualified to be vassals, rather than being reduced to slaves.

As for clans without God Ascension Order members, if they had no value, they would simply be ruled and required to submit resources regularly.

If they had value, they would be directly enslaved, developed according to the enslaver's demands, and forced to submit more value and more resources.

The universe was this cruel; the law of the jungle was demonstrated vividly.

Sometimes, being sufficiently useless could be safer, and being sufficiently strong was also very safe, but being neither strong nor weak was very uncomfortable.

Clans with gods could oppress God Ascension clans, powerful God Ascension clans could oppress weaker God Ascension clans, God Ascension clans could oppress demigod clans, and demigod clans could oppress those clans without demigods.

Under this layered system of oppression, it was easy to imagine how difficult it was for weak clans to develop.

This system was universal throughout the entire cosmos.

Scott Star was the origin of a race called the Earth Spirit Clan.

The Earth Spirit Clan, a humanoid race, was a tiny, insignificant clan with only demigods, and had lived on Scott Star since its inception.

They did not look up at the stars, but were devoted only to the earth beneath their feet. They were born from the earth, and their Mother Earth was everything to them.

The unique ability of the Earth Spirit Clan was to transform the earth, improving the fertility of the soil.

They could absorb energy from the cosmos, filter out its malevolence, and leave only pure energy.

This pure energy could either enhance the Earth Spirit Clan's strength or be injected into the earth to improve the quality of the land, ameliorate the planet's environment, and increase the planet's origin, making them a naturally agrarian race.

However, the malevolence of the cosmos would not spare any complacent race, nor would it spare any race that used malevolence or developed in conjunction with it.

The Luke Clan's colonial fleet arrived at Scott Star.

The Luke Clan discovered the Earth Spirit Clan and their unique ability, deeming them a valuable race worth enslaving and cultivating extensively, to become specialized producers for the Luke Clan's life planets.

And so, Scott Star fell.

Countless Earth Spirit Clan members were captured and transported as commodities to various life planets in the Luke Star System.

As slaves, the Earth Spirit Clan had no rights. They used their lives to filter cosmic malevolence, injecting pure energy into the earth or providing it for the Luke Clan and its people to cultivate.

Within the same period, the cosmic energy a Earth Spirit Clan member could filter was limited, and the malevolence they could accumulate in their bodies was also limited.

If they continued to filter and accumulate malevolence before it was completely transformed, the Earth Spirit Clan would have to forcibly purify the malevolence using their own life essence, drastically reducing their lifespan.

The normal lifespan of a First Order Earth Spirit Clan member was one thousand years; each increase in order added three thousand years to their lifespan, making them true long-lived species.

However, the Earth Spirit Clan enslaved by the Luke Clan, regardless of their order, had an average lifespan of only ten years.

Within ten years, the Luke Clan would extract a Earth Spirit Clan member's entire life potential, utilizing their abilities to the extreme without limit, obtaining in ten years the pure energy that would otherwise take thousands of years to filter and accumulate.

On Scott Star, a missionary fleet bearing the emblem of the Dust World Sect silently descended outside the planet's atmosphere.

The Earth Spirit Clan could only be nurtured on Scott Star.

Therefore, Scott Star was heavily guarded by the Luke Clan, who continuously invested resources to nurture the Earth Spirit Clan, transforming it into a Earth Spirit Clan breeding factory, turning each Earth Spirit Clan member into a commercial currency.

Over the past five thousand years, the Earth Spirit Clan had become completely bound to the Luke Clan, serving as producers to sustain the entire Luke Clan.

The Luke Clan did not permit any individual or force to interfere with the Earth Spirit Clan, so one-third of the Luke Clan's God Ascension members were stationed on Scott Star, with the strongest being a God Ascension Fourth Order.

“The planet's consciousness is wailing; heretics need to be purified, and believers need to be saved.”

“My Lord, please allow me to judge the heretics.”

On the Dust World Sect missionary fleet, the accompanying bishop, a God Ascension Fifth Order God-bestowed warrior, was filled with compassion. He could not bear to see strange-looking alien heretics daring to enslave humanoid races who loved farming.

This was no ordinary heresy; it required a decisive strike and the most extreme purification from the God of the Mortal World.

“Judge the heretics, purify the heretics!”

“Judge the heretics, purify the heretics!”

“Judge the heretics, purify the heretics!”

The sect's specialized judgment God-bestowed warrior legion had already prepared to judge the heretics, and the missionary legion had also prepared to rescue the Earth Spirit Clan and bring them the faith of the Dust World.

The missionary fleet, consisting of one mid-tier main ship capable of unleashing God Ascension Third Order power, three resource transport ships, three God-bestowed armed ships, and three missionary ships, along with an army of over ten million Dust World believers, was ready at any moment to judge and purify the heretics.

All preparations complete, the judgment war erupted.

In the exosphere of Scott Star, the planet's defense system was instantly torn apart by the sect's fleet, turning into space debris.

Legions of God-bestowed warriors, aboard landing crafts, entered the planet's surface to fight, judging all heretics and saving all believers worthy of salvation.

The Dust World faith was injected into this scarred planet, injected into the Earth Spirit Clan, who had been enslaved for a millennium and desperately needed a savior.

With the God Ascension Fifth Order bishop taking action, the Luke Clan's stationed God Ascension members were nothing more than chickens and dogs, easily purified and transformed into soul blood, offered to the God of the Mortal World.

This was the purest purification of heretics.

Heretics, only by being completely devoured and offered to the God of the Mortal World, nourishing the people of the Dust World, could all the valuable and invaluable things they consumed in existence not be wasted.

Scott Star was just the beginning.

The entire Luke Star System was a land of heretics; more believers needed to be saved, and more heretics needed to be judged and purified.

Starting from Scott Star, missionary fleets from the Dust World set out, arriving at Scott Star and advancing into the Luke Star System, to rescue believers and purify heretics.

This was a war of faith expedition.

The glory of the God of the Mortal World should be spread across the cosmic starry sky, so that more believers would worship the God of the Mortal World, and more heretics would be judged and purified.

In a war of faith, there was no right or wrong.

Those who did not believe in the God of the Mortal World were to be considered heretics.

A Mortal War God (a Lower God from the Ye Huo World who had been subdued) was stationed on Scott Star, responsible for the faith expedition war in the Luke Star System.

This was just one faith expedition battlefield.

Across the entire eastern part of the Land of Contention for Godhood, thirty Mortal War Gods, following the divine oracle of the God of the Mortal World, led missionary fleets to open thirty faith wars, officially entering the grand stage of the Land of Contention for Godhood.

Another force entered the Land of Contention for Godhood, doing so in the most brutal manner of faith expeditionary warfare.

Dust World, Dust World Holy Mountain.

Faith Lin Chen continuously processed information from the expeditionary wars. Divine oracles were bestowed upon devout believers, guiding them to conquer territories, judge and purify heretics, and save those believers who could be saved.

Every moment, new believers offered their power of faith.

The mixed power of faith, filtered by the God of Tribulation Transcendance statue, transformed into positive power of faith, absorbed by the divine kingdom of faith, and became Faith Lin Chen's growth resource.

Dust World believers had only two requirements.

One was to be a humanoid race, and the other was to be oppressed.

Only humanoid races could accept the glory of the God of the Mortal World.

Only the oppressed could welcome the God of the Mortal World, the savior, in their despair, and only then could they accept the glory of the God of the Mortal World.

Faith Lin Chen, the God of the Mortal World, was indeed a righteous god.

But he was a righteous god of the human race, a savior of humanoid races. Non-humanoid aliens were all considered heretics.

With these two supreme divine oracles as guidance, the Dust World Sect's faith expeditionary war proceeded very smoothly.

In their eyes, there were only two choices: believers or heretics.

Save the believers, judge the heretics.

These two choices were very easy to make.
