487: Odin's Plan
It took Qin Shilei nearly three hours to gather all million Evolutionaries from this city into his Blessed Land.
He then took Gavin and his Golden Experts to several other cities under his jurisdiction, collecting the Evolutionaries who had already assembled there into his Blessed Land as well.
A day later, Qin Shilei took out a map, marked by Shi Liren with the distribution of Audin's followers, and began to choose his next target.
Audin's Divine Kingdom.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, mountains collapsed, and the earth shook!
This was Audin venting his fury, causing anomalies within his Divine Kingdom.
Hundreds of millions of devout followers prayed in terror.
They hadn't seen their Divine Lord so enraged in thousands of years, and they deeply hated the human who had angered him, wishing they could leave the Divine Kingdom and tear him apart.
Audin initially thought Qin Shilei couldn't possibly stop him from gaining followers on Blue Star.
However, he never imagined that Qin Shilei possessed a Space Secret Realm that could be opened anywhere.
This meant the other party could truly gather all his followers and then use forceful means to forbid them from worshipping him again.
Faith was his main source of power; how could Audin not be furious when his source of faith was so completely cut off?
Moreover, the other party had killed three of his avatars, which would take Audin nearly ten years to recover from.
To have multiple avatars repeatedly slain by a mortal in public had severely humiliated Audin's proud self-esteem.
At this moment, Audin had also listed Qin Shilei as a mortal enemy.
After a bout of venting, Audin sat on his throne, chin resting on his right hand, contemplating how to turn the tide.
"Hmph, if you want to sever my followers, then I'll just give them all to you."
Soon, Audin revealed a sinister smile... The next day, Qin Shilei went to a city called Kolo.
Only a few Black Iron Realm survivors remained in the city; all Evolutionaries from Bronze to Golden Realm were nowhere to be seen.
Qin Shilei specifically went and split the city's temple into ruins with a single Heaven Piercing Sword, but Audin did not reappear.
"It seems Audin really let those followers escape the city to preserve them."
Qin Shilei's lips curved into a smile as he took out the Mountain and Rivers Map.
The Mountain and Rivers Map showed that there were Golden Experts in three nearby locations.
Qin Shilei followed the green markers on the map and flew out of the city.
Upon reaching the city gate, he casually unleashed three Heaven Piercing Swords, splitting three huge gaps in the tall city walls.
These three enormous gaps would not be easy to seal, and if exotic beasts attacked again, the city's defenses would be reduced to their lowest point.
Since you are so firmly on Audin's side, then Audin should frequently manifest to defend you against exotic beasts.
Qin Shilei quickly arrived at a small town, where survivors were densely packed.
He spread his mental power and quickly located three Golden Experts, sending them to meet their divine lord—Audin—with three casual sword strikes.
As for the Bronze and Silver Realm Evolutionaries, Qin Shilei did not act again, leaving them to their own devices.
Qin Shilei then went to the other two locations, slaying five more Golden Experts with a single sword each, and then left the city.
After he left, several videos of his killings appeared on the chat channel, followed by a string of condemnations.
"Qin Shilei is an executioner, a murderous maniac. He senselessly killed our city lord and several Golden Experts."
"He also split our city walls into three huge gaps; this is clearly intending to use exotic beasts to kill hundreds of thousands of survivors in our entire city."
"With external enemies at hand, this person not only failed to help everyone resist the alien races but instead turned his butcher's knife towards fellow human survivors. This is an inhumane devil, even more hateful than those alien races!"
"Qin An King is a sinner of humanity; everyone must be wary of him, or you could become another soul under his sword at any moment!"
However, it was quickly pointed out that these people were all loyal followers of Audin.
"Qin An King and Audin are now mortal enemies. If you people continue to worship Audin, then you can't blame Qin Shilei for raising his sword against you."
"Faith is free. If you're so capable, go find Audin. What kind of ability is it to bully us weaklings?"
"You provide Audin with the power of faith; if he doesn't slay you, who will he slay? If it were me, I would kill all of Audin's followers, not just a few Golden Experts."
Qin Shilei paid no attention to the arguments between the two sides on the chat channel and continued flying to the next city.
The ruler of this city, however, did not flee; he proactively surrendered upon seeing Qin Shilei.
He conscientiously gathered all the survivors, waiting for Qin Shilei to collect them into his Blessed Land.
Several consecutive cities followed suit.
"Could it be that none of these people have loyal followers of Audin?"
Qin Shilei murmured with some doubt.
However, he didn't delve deeper into the question. He looked around, preparing to find a hidden place to use the teleportation array to return to the Empire of the Setting Sun and place the millions of Evolutionaries from his Blessed Land into Amelia's world.
He didn't know that some of the Evolutionaries in his Blessed Land were gathering together and praying devoutly.
As they prayed, the idol in front of them slowly began to ripple.
Then, with a flash of golden light, the idol transformed into Audin's avatar.
"Greetings, Divine Lord!" The few immediately knelt, respectfully greeting him.
"Well done, rise!" Audin said with a look of approval.
He then extended his mental power, intending to thoroughly sense what kind of Space Secret Realm this was.
"Divine Kingdom?"
As soon as Audin extended his mental power, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but utter a question.
He was about to open a spatial passage and leave, but he suddenly stopped.
"No, this isn't a Divine Kingdom."
"But why is the space here so strange?"
Audin's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Your Eminence, should we proceed as planned and mobilize everyone to thoroughly explore this world?" the leading follower asked.
Audin pondered for a moment and replied, "No need. I will personally explore this space."
Having said that, he rose into the air, preparing to explore the space.
He then noticed a slight ripple in space, and Qin Shilei's figure suddenly appeared before him.
"Divine Lord Audin, coming uninvited is not very polite, you know."
Qin Shilei said with a smiling face.
Audin's expression changed. He tried to open a spatial passage to return to his Divine Kingdom, but found that the space here was indeed sealed.
He then calmly asked, "What is this place of yours, and why is it so strange?"
Qin Shilei smiled faintly, "This place? It's your burial ground. Rest in peace!"
After saying that, he wasted no more words, took out his Giant Que Sword, and swiftly cut down the opponent.
"You may also go with your Divine Lord."
Qin Shilei casually swung several sword qi, taking care of those few people as well.
