Chapter 4 The Crisis of the Vatican

"Middle-level gods?" Sean's face changed. Although in the hell in the middle and late stages of the original novel, middle-level gods were not as good as dogs, but in the material plane, the strength of middle-level gods was the top existence.

"Yes, my father has a good relationship with a god-level master in the Church, and he knows a lot of things." Leilia said: "Before, whether it was the Church of Light, the Church of Darkness or other religions, although they all had god-level masters, they were all lower-level gods. Our Church of Light had the largest number of lower-level gods, so it had the greatest power. But now that a middle-level god has appeared in the Church of Darkness, things are completely different."

"So that's it. This is the crisis of the Holy See." Sean nodded. He finally understood what was going on.

In the original novel, nine great masters competed for the Red Caltrop Diamond, the token of the Supreme God, in the material plane of Okalun. The most powerful people in the entire material plane of Okalun were just a few middle-level gods, and there was no upper-level god at all. The middle-level gods were basically the pinnacle of the material plane.

Of course, the Magnolia Material Plane is special. Perhaps it is also because of Lin Lei, the son of destiny. There are many outrageous masters there, including Beirut, Lin Lei, Beibei, Olivia, Odin and Qinghuo, who is only one step away from perfection.

Judging from the number of material planes and the number of seven-star Shura masters in the supreme plane, the probability of a material plane having a native seven-star is almost zero. Even becoming a superior god in the material plane is extremely difficult. Such a being, if he goes to the supreme plane to practice, would conservatively be at the six-star level.

There had never been a middle-level god in Zhongyuan Continent before, but now there is suddenly one. The Holy See that dominates Zhongyuan Continent will directly face the threat of this middle-level god, because no matter how great a god is, he will not give up the power of faith, which is almost the only method in the material plane that can help with cultivation.

"Now the entire Holy See, all the god-level masters and most of the holy domain masters have gathered in Shengyue City. They are not allowed to leave in order to defend our headquarters to the death." Leilia said.

"Will this middle-level god of the Dark Church directly attack our Shengyue City?" Sean asked worriedly. Even though he was a time traveler, he had been here for so many years and had some friends who liked this place. Naturally, he didn't like the bloodshed. The most important thing was that in the battle between god-level masters, a little bit of scattered energy could easily kill the Holy Land, let alone him.

"I don't know. Even the god-level masters of our Holy See don't know how big the gap is with the middle-level gods. I hope they can stop them if they unite." Leilia said.

"It might be a bit difficult." Sean said with a frown.

From the general situation we know from the original work, the power of a middle-level god is 10 times that of a lower-level god, and the domain of god is also stronger. As for the mysteries, he should have comprehended more, but it also depends on whether it is a high-level or low-level mystery, which will be stronger. As for the fusion of the mysteries, the possibility is almost 0, and the natives of the material plane should not have this awareness.

On the whole, the gap is still too big. Unless the number of lower gods of the Holy See of Light is large enough to win by quantity, the middle gods can run, and roam and snipe, which is unsolvable. Especially since the middle gods have a wider range of consciousness and a faster speed, while the lower gods cannot detect the hidden middle gods. If the middle gods really launch a sneak attack, they will be killed for sure.

"You don't have to worry too much. The Holy See uses secret techniques to communicate with the God of Light. Perhaps, the God of Light will send experts down." Leilia said.

"You can't count on this. Why did you tell me so much today?" Sean shook his head helplessly and asked again. Count on the God Plane? Unless it is the early days of the birth of the Lord God, the Lord Gods of each family attach more importance to the power of faith. Otherwise, the Lord God will not care about such trivial matters. Without the Lord God's intervention, how could those upper gods spend the wealth of a seven-star demon's lifetime to come to the material plane?
However, no one in the material plane knows about these things.

"My father asked me to tell you this." Leilia said, "The intention of the Holy See is for those of us who have not yet reached the Holy Land but have great talents to leave Shengyue City and seek refuge. If Shengyue City is fine, then that's good. We can just go out and gain experience. If something happens, we will be the last hope for rebuilding the Holy See of Light in the future."

“Can’t the Church retreat?” Sean asked after thinking for a moment. In the original novel Panlong, the Church of Light was also attacked by a god-level attack, but it still survived by giving up its sphere of influence. If it hadn’t encountered Lin Lei, it probably wouldn’t have been destroyed.

"I don't know about that, and it's not something we should worry about." Leilia said, "How about we go together?"

"When do we set off?" Sean nodded and asked. The affairs of the god-level masters were indeed not something he should ask about now. If he did not have a good relationship with Leilia, he probably would not have known about these things in advance. Of course, with the talent he had shown, if there was an evacuation plan, he would definitely have his own list.

"We can't leave now." Leilia said, "We are still somewhat famous in Shengyue City. If a few of us are missing, no one will care. But if all of us are gone, the spies of the Dark Church might know about it. It is estimated that in the short term, the Dark Church god-level who has broken through to the middle god level will not come so soon. I heard from my father that he will definitely send us out in advance. Besides, it might be safer to go out now than to stay in the Holy City."

"That's right. If we go out now, we will become a target." Sean agreed. They are all very famous. If they go out, they will not even have a sanctuary around them. It will be more dangerous. The Dark Church will probably be able to slaughter them if they send a sanctuary.

"I'm telling you, we have to be prepared. If the worst-case scenario really happens in the future, we might be hunted down, so we have to be more united." Leilia said worriedly.

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do." Sean was equally worried. Once the Church of Light was destroyed, they, the once proud sons of heaven, would become the first targets. Especially with the existence of the Supreme Plane, if that middle-level god were to leave the material plane, he would surely massacre all future threats.

"That's all for now. This is a space ring. It's not very big, but it can hold enough supplies for a room. Here it is." Leilia threw over a ring.

"Thank you." Sean said gratefully. With a space ring, it would be much more convenient. Not to mention other things, just put enough food in it and find a secluded corner to hide, and the safety would be greatly improved.

"You're welcome. Maybe we will have to flee together in the future." Leilia said with a smile.
