Chapter 367: Chapter 243: Quickening Pace_2
Chen Lun sighed.
He was acutely aware of the Sun Church’s influence, and even clearer about what the arrival of one of the Twelve Bishops from the Solar Monastery represented.
This was a saint-level high-ranking figure, and a prominent one within his sequence.
The reason the Sun Royal Family had ruled the Empire for so many years was largely due to the strength of the Sun Church.
Not only were they exceptional in forging transcendent beings, possessing “high-end artificial Mysterious Objects” that other forces lacked, but they also had an advantage with their incarnations.
The high-ranking members of the Sun Path had numerous strong incarnations, better suited for suppressing vast territories and maintaining order than other sequence paths.
...
‘And then there’s the “Daylight Obelisk”… in the previous life’s version 1.0 and even in 2.0, this kind of transcendent architecture greatly shone, and it was the Sun Church’s proudest masterpiece. Terence’s arrival will likely bring the core of this structure, allowing it to rise from the ground in a very short time.’
Chen Lun felt agitated.
‘By then, His incarnations will have a wider range of action, and if He comes looking for me, I’m afraid there will be no escaping…’
He massaged his temples.
Then he remembered another matter.
The Anlong United Kingdom declaring war on the Tresor Empire was something that had not happened in his previous life.

In that life, it was the Empire that unilaterally imposed military sanctions on the Anlong United Kingdom before sounding the horn of war… Although the outcome was the same, the process was entirely different.
Chen Lun attributed the reason to the butterfly effect he had caused.
‘My various actions have led to the early exposure of the Red Apple Church. It’s very likely that they have some deep connection with the Anlong United Kingdom, prompting the Kingdom to declare war and tie down the Empire’s forces in a diversionary tactic.
This ensures that the unrest caused by the Red Apple Church lasts longer, benefiting their completion of some unspeakable purpose.’
Chen Lun thought seriously.
He then sighed, realizing that he had unwittingly changed many destinies.
‘Including Mona, whose personality never changed dramatically in my previous life… Is it because Howard, from the previous life, always remained hidden in the Shelter?’
The more he thought about it, the more his head ached.
The myriad thoughts troubled him, making the future seem increasingly obscure and confusing.
“Let’s speed up a bit more, ascend to Sequence Six, and then leave Amber City with the team!”
Chen Lun’s eyes were resolute as he called out “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure”.
“No time to delay, we’ll head to the Immortal Realm now to find those six pieces of Supernatural Knowledge!”

Lime Ash City.
Suburbs.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked among the villages.
As they passed, the villagers stopped their work and knelt respectfully, murmuring thousands of thanks.
However, the two paid no mind to the villagers’ actions.
“Teacher, so it was you who caused those supernatural diseases in the villages around Amber City… No wonder, I thought it was a brilliant idea at the time, using disease to combat disease, allowing the plague to gradually disappear inside the human body while generating some immunity.”
Maggie said somewhat excitedly.
The man wearing the crow mask, Akebin, shook his head slightly.
“This was actually a very risky experiment. If it had failed, those people would not only have remained unhealed, but they would have died instantly due to the imposed supernatural disease… Not curing the disease would have turned into a massacre.”
He stopped walking and looked around the peaceful village, calmly saying:
“This was merely my personal selfishness, a ritual set up for my own advancement. To ordinary people, this pandemic is a disaster, but for us few Transcendents, it is a rare opportunity.”
“Actually, I know that you still wanted to save them, Teacher… and if you hadn’t acted promptly, those villagers would have died long before official aid could arrive!
I would’ve done the same, preferring to make a mistake rather than do nothing at all!”
Maggie chuckled.
“Looking at the outcome, it indeed turned out to be a good thing. It not only helped the villagers but also allowed the advancement in sequence… I hope that in the future, this world will eventually be free from disease.”
“A noble ideal, yet also a foolish one,”
Akebin judged, then remained silent for a long time.
The two left the area, planning to head to another nearby village.
Midway, Akebin suddenly spoke:
“Maggie, why are you so fixated on becoming a Plague Doctor? I can tell you very clearly, that path leads to a dead end… not only is there no god at the end of the road, but there are also no angels.”
“I don’t care,”
Maggie said indifferently.
“I just want to pursue my own ideals, even if it means failing.”
Akebin turned to look at her.
The thick glass of the crow mask reflected the sunlight, obscuring the eyes underneath.
“Hmm… but you should know, even as a doctor, you must learn to kill, because that’s how this world is, if you don’t kill, others will come to kill you for various reasons…
Just like now, as a member of Jack’s team, you can’t always just be a rear support, the road is long and accidents will occur.”
Maggie listened to Akebin’s words, nodding heavily in agreement.
“I know, Teacher. Actually, I was expelled from the Naturalist Sect initially for researching various poisons… Of course, that’s just what the forest elders said. To me, if it can save people, what does it matter if it’s poison?”
