70: Chapter 70 Hunting Down Immortal-Level Beings!

Upon hearing this, Su Lin was momentarily stunned.

"Divine War? What Divine War?"

He had only stayed at home for a few days; how did a Divine War inexplicably pop up?

What on earth had he missed?

"Divine War?" Su Lin's voice was low, laced with a hint of confusion. "Explain clearly."

The man with the goat beard dared not delay in the slightest and hurriedly said in terror:

"Y-Yes!"

"Recently, it seems many Immortal Level, and even Forbidden Rank beings, are seeking rebirth, or have already descended."

"And one Forbidden Rank being that has already descended seems to be hunting Immortal Level and even Forbidden Rank beings. That is why our church suspects that a new round of Divine War is about to begin."

"That Forbidden Rank being might want to break the existing order, usher in a new era, and ascend to become a god."

Su Lin was shocked upon hearing this.

What the hell?

Hunting Immortal Level and even Forbidden Rank beings?

Had such things actually happened while he was cooped up at home these past few days?

If this was true, it would indeed be a massive disaster.

After all, these Immortal Level and Forbidden Rank beings were already terrifying to begin with.

If they clashed and started fighting,

they, as humans, would inevitably be caught in the crossfire, or even crushed like ants.

And the five major orthodox churches, along with the gods behind them, would inevitably join the war to protect the existing order.

Once the Divine War began, the world would inevitably fall into chaos.

Then, various evil gods and outer gods would surely take the opportunity to invade, leading to an even greater disaster.

At this moment, Su Lin recalled the Immortal Level being that wanted to be reborn, as well as the entity from the Land of the End.

All these events seemed to confirm this theory.

Was the Divine War really about to begin?

Su Lin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the look in his eyes beneath the mask became grave.

He was no savior, but if the Divine War really broke out, could he still cultivate, create creatures, and collect materials as securely as he did now?

Once those god-level beings started fighting, the entire world's landscape would be completely shattered.

By then, cities, order, and civilization would all become a joke.

He would either have to join a faction to seek protection or hide in the wilderness just to survive.

But neither option was what he wanted.

Thinking of this, Su Lin felt a headache coming on.

He had transmigrated twenty years ago, finally waited for the system, and finally gained the power to protect himself.

And now, he was being told that the Divine War was about to start?

Was heaven playing a joke on him?

However, the man's next words gave Su Lin even more of a headache.

"My lord, there is something even more important."

The man lowered his voice further, his eyes filled with fear:

"According to our church's observations, there is likely some treasure in Linhai City that has attracted these beings, causing these high-level existences to appear here in clusters recently."

"Therefore, our church's higher-ups suspect that Linhai City is very likely to be the first area where the Divine War erupts."

Upon hearing this, Su Lin was completely stunned.

Linhai City?

The first area to erupt?

He had transmigrated twenty years ago, finally waited for the system, and now he had to run into something like this!

To be honest, he actually preferred world peace; after all, only then could he develop better.

Never mind the evil gods or orthodox gods.

Even if just those Immortal Level or Forbidden Rank beings woke up and appeared in the world, it would inevitably lead to a massive disaster.

Currently, he was still too weak.

The previous Immortal Level being was just a remnant soul and extremely weak, and it was only with the help of the system that he was able to take advantage of it.

He did not think he was truly a match for an Immortal Level or even a Forbidden Rank being.

And now, a guy who specifically hunted Immortal Level and even Forbidden Rank beings had popped up?

This was too exaggerated!

Su Lin calculated quickly in his mind.

This wasn't something that could be solved by playing the ostrich; once the Divine War started, he would have nowhere to hide.

Once those god-level beings started fighting, the entire world's landscape would be completely shattered.

He had to prepare in advance to prevent those so-called gods from descending into the world and to prevent himself from being caught in the crossfire.

He had to find a way to gather more intelligence and figure out exactly what was happening.

He had to find a way to lay out plans and leave himself a few escape routes.

The more Su Lin thought about it, the more urgent he felt.

But he didn't show it at all on his face and just continued to interrogate:

"Who are you people? And what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, the man seemed a bit hesitant, but seeing the Servants eyeing him covetously, he gritted his teeth and said:

"M-My lord, we are from the Corpse Demon Church."

"However, I am actually just an outer member, and I don't know exactly what the lords are doing."

"The church just told us to set up the magic array, so we just set it up."

Upon hearing this, Su Lin was somewhat surprised.

Corpse Demon Church?

He had previously seen records about them in supernatural books.

It was an evil cult that worshipped the 'Corpse God' and specialized in researching the forbidden powers of death, decay, and resurrection.

They liked to control corpses, create undead, and even obtain the Corpse God's blessings through sacrifices.

Come to think of it, could all those Ghouls and Bone-Armored Demons from before be their doing?

The more Su Lin thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

The aura on this guy seemed very similar to those Ghouls and Bone-Armored Demons.

However, he was also a bit speechless.

This guy was so arrogant just now; he thought he was some kind of cadre, but it turned out he was just an outer member?

He continued to ask: "Then where are the people who can actually make decisions?"

The man dared not delay and hurriedly said:

"Our church's person-in-charge in Linhai City will be holding a meeting at the abandoned mine in the wilderness north of the city at 1:00 AM."

"I don't know anything more; I am just an outer member and have no access to core information at all."

Upon hearing this, Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.

This was indeed useful information.

1:00 AM, abandoned mine north of the city.

Perhaps he could see many important figures, collect a lot of intelligence, and let him figure out the situation.

Su Lin continued to ask: "Is there anything else you want to add?"

The man shook his head repeatedly, his voice filled with pleading:

"N-No, there isn't. I've said everything I know. Please, let me go. I'm just an outer member, I don't know anything!"

However, Su Lin did not answer.

He just nodded slightly.

The next second—

"Pfft!"

With a muffled thud, one of the Servants' palms transformed into a dark green blade, piercing through the man's heart from behind.

The man's eyes widened as he looked down at the blade piercing his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Didn't you say..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his body went limp and collapsed, blood flowing all over the ground.

Su Lin didn't even glance at him.

What did he say? He didn't say anything, alright?

Su Lin looked around, scanning the magic array on the ground and the red crystal.

"System, identify this."

[Identifying...]

[Identification complete!]

[Corpse Soul Crystal (1-Star): A crystal formed by absorbing the resentment of the dead, can be used for the creation of undead-type creatures.]

Su Lin waved his hand and stored it directly into the System Space.

There was still some time before 1:00 AM.

He could just go back and prepare a little, then go check out the abandoned mine north of the city.

If he could get more intelligence, or even capture a few core members, then he would be making a huge profit.

Thinking this, Su Lin's body turned into a shadow, silently merging into the shadows on the ground.

He quickly left the scene.
