484: The smell of conspiracy

Harry then recounted in detail how Audin had spread his faith among them.

Audin did not approach Harry immediately.

Instead, he appeared among the lower-level Evolutionaries.

When those Evolutionaries encountered danger during a hunt, Audin intervened and saved them, telling them that as long as they sincerely chanted his divine name, they would receive his help.

As time passed, more and more Evolutionaries received help from Audin.

Audin's divine name began to enter the hearts of many Evolutionaries in Will.

At this point, Harry himself almost died during a hunt, but fortunately, Audin appeared in time and saved him.

From then on, the various temples in Will began to enshrine statues of Audin.

Qin Shilei asked again, "Did Audin tell you to hold back the tribute?"

Harry shook his head, "No, it was one of my subordinates who suggested it."

However, Qin Shilei had several doubts in his heart.

When Audin first appeared in the Will Empire, he clearly manifested as countless clones in various places simultaneously.

But the information just obtained from that clone of Audin did not show that Audin possessed the ability to split into multiple clones without relying on the faith power of his followers.

The second point was, there were still countless territories on Blue Star where he could develop followers, so why did he specifically choose his territory?

Through the incident with Shiva in Tianzhu, most of the survivors on Blue Star should know that Qin An King is not only someone who does not revere gods but also has the ability to slay divine clones and cut off divine faith.

When there were clearly better choices, the other party should not have chosen Qin Shilei, this tough nut to crack.

Qin Shilei looked up and instructed Harry, "Call the person who gave you that idea."

Soon, a short, stout middle-aged man was called over.

Qin Shilei asked, "Why did you suggest that Harry hold back the tribute?"

The middle-aged man said with a bewildered expression, "What? I never told the monarch to hold back the tribute!"

Harry immediately became anxious, "Allen, a while ago, you clearly gave me a whole list of reasons to save the tribute for developing the temple, why are you denying it now?"

The middle-aged man said incredulously, "How could that be? Qin An King is now the foremost person on Blue Star. Holding back tribute would surely anger him. How could we do such a thankless thing?"

"That's enough."

Qin Shilei waved his hand to stop Harry's argument and instructed, "Go, smash all the statues of Audin in the temple, and issue an order that from now on, Audin's name must never be mentioned again."

"Yes!" Harry could only bow his head in assent, then turned and walked out of the main hall.

Qin Shilei gently stroked his chin.

He always felt there was a conspiracy hidden within this.

Qin Shilei took out the Mountain and Rivers Map from his Qiankun Ring and activated it by infusing it with vital energy.

Soon, a three-dimensional map appeared before his eyes, with some small green dots, but no red dots were found.

This indicated that there were no Platinum or above experts nearby.

The clones that appeared in Will at that time also did not show up on the Mountain and Rivers Map.

Either the other party could evade the surveillance of the Mountain and Rivers Map, or they intentionally maintained a Golden Realm cultivation, which is why they did not appear as red markers on the Mountain and Rivers Map.

It was highly possible that someone had deliberately orchestrated all of this, hoping to instigate a conflict between himself and gods like Audin and Hela.

At this moment, was it an expert from the Other World or the conspirator hidden in the shadows?

While Qin Shilei was pondering all of this, he heard a fierce commotion from outside the palace.

Listening intently, it made him frown.

"Hmph!"

Qin Shilei coldly snorted, "Do you really think this King is a knight overflowing with a sense of justice!"

With a flash, he left Harry's palace.

Outside the palace, countless layers of dense Evolutionaries were Surrounded, shouting loudly and protesting.

"Faith is freedom, it is our spiritual sustenance, it is our hope for survival, you cannot deprive us of our faith!"

"We implore His Highness Qin An King to respect our faith!"

"We respect and are grateful to His Highness Qin An King, but Lord Audin is also our spiritual anchor. We hope His Highness Qin An King will not destroy our faith!"

"I would rather die than lose the faith in my heart!"

Qin Shilei swept his gaze over the crowd at the entrance, then suddenly unleashed his full aura.

A formidable aura suddenly erupted, sweeping towards everyone like a hurricane.

"Pfft!"

Within a radius of several kilometers, all the survivors couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, then knelt to the ground.

"Hmph!"

Qin Shilei snorted coldly, then transformed into a hundred-meter giant.

He took a step and swiftly ran towards the temple not far away.

Boom boom boom!

Giant footprints were left on the hard concrete ground.

Soon he arrived in front of the temple.

A group of clergy members were relentlessly trying to persuade Harry.

Harry was about to assert his authority as monarch and order these clergy members to leave quickly when he suddenly heard a huge thumping sound from behind him.

Then he felt his vision darken and, turning his head, he saw that Qin An King had, at some point, transformed into a giant and was holding that enormous treasured sword.

Harry's heart trembled, he completely ignored his subordinates beside him and the clergy members opposite him, turned and fled into the distance.

Heaven Piercing Sword!

A giant sword shadow, over a thousand meters long, formed above Qin Shilei's head.

Then, with an irresistible momentum, it cleaved down towards the temple below.

Boom!

A huge gully appeared where the temple once stood, and the temple itself was nowhere to be seen.

The clergy members of the temple were also gone.

"Those who dare to believe in Audin shall die!"

The booming voice echoed throughout the entire city.

In the ears of all the survivors in the city, there was only the constantly reverberating word 'die', and in their minds, that towering sword shadow!

Qin Shilei turned his head and glanced at Harry, whom he had intentionally let go, "I give you three days. If there are still people in Will who believe in Audin by then, then Will will no longer need to exist."

After speaking, he transformed into a phantom and vanished from the spot.

Qin Shilei flew out of the city while sending messages on the chat channel.

"I, Qin Shilei, solemnly announce that the sphere of influence of Great Xia does not welcome any deities!"

"Anyone who dares to spread heresy in my territory shall be executed without mercy!"

"Those who wish to receive divine protection, please get out of my territory, otherwise, you shall be executed without mercy!"

Following this was an extremely short video.

The video was precisely the image of Qin Shilei transforming into a giant, cleaving the temple with a single sword, and cutting a gully over a thousand meters long.

Listening to Qin Shilei's domineering and murderous words, looking at the awe-inspiring sword shadow, and that long gully.

The chat channel paused for three seconds.

Then it quickly started flooding with messages.

"Qin is truly domineering, truly worthy of being my idol!"

"Who could survive under that sword strike?"

"I haven't heard news of Qin for several months, and I was very worried. Today's sword strike makes this junior yearn endlessly!"

"Qin, I want to bear your children. I only ask that our children have half of your ability."
