Chapter 611: Fifty-five Thank you, Lord Visas (End of this volume)
The high-ranking members of the Rhein Divine Sect present fell into silence.
…Revealing the information about “Ulu” to all churches, including the Esoteric Buddhism, although it could be anticipated that Lango would do so, when it was really brought up, everyone was still shocked.
Has the situation really come to this?
Does that “Ulu” indeed require the cooperation of the Eight Great Churches to be countered?
“I know what you’re concerned about.” Lango slowly opened his mouth, “Since the establishment of the Rhein, we have never cooperated with the Esoteric Buddhism, not even with the other three Great Orthodox Sects. Such cooperation to hunt down a certain person has also been rare. But we must face reality; if we don’t do so, we might never recover the lost Corpse Blocks in this lifetime, especially since until now, we still cannot ascertain whether that guy is truly Ulu.”
It was previously mentioned that during the operation, Fig was constantly reporting information and also mentioned that they neither found Ulu nor the Seven-Tone Player suspected to be hunted by the Holy Sound.
In other words, from their perspective, Fig, until losing contact, still had no definite information about Ulu, nor could they determine how many parts of the Corpse Blocks the Seven-Tone Player had. In the end, whether he killed Ulu, Ulu killed him, or they were the same individual disguising with the power of some Corpse Block remains unknown.
All this information was unknown, so they had to put quotes around the name Ulu to refer to this individual of uncertain identity.
The Rhein Divine Sect, chasing for several months, did not even know the opponent’s definite identity, and lost two bishops in the process. This was not only a great humiliation but also proof of Lango’s previous statement—relying solely on one church, it was impossible to retrieve that guy.
“But can cooperation really be effective? Especially cooperating with the Esoteric Buddhism.” The Southern Bishop still questioned, “From this Wildfire Holy Sect incident, we can see that we can’t even be sure if those Esoteric followers are human… After all, even dogs wish to become gods; cooperating with them is really too dangerous.”
Rocky couldn’t help but nod.
Yeah, collaborating with dogs is really too bizarre.
“Wildfire is an exception, as their original god was Senluo, but for the remaining three Esoteric religions… at least their deities are still normal,” Lango said, “So there is naturally room for discussion.”
Even though Lango said so, the Southern Bishop still had some concerns: “Your Eminence, can’t we just cooperate with the Orthodox Sects?”
Lango gave the Southern Bishop a sideways glance and said coldly, “Think about the current situation of the Four Great Orthodox Sects before you speak.”
The Southern Bishop was immediately speechless.
Indeed, the Four Great Orthodox Sects, who have been able to suppress the Four Great Secret Religions for thousands of years, now see Rhein losing two archbishops, Lyra half-destroyed, even the gods have begun to slumber, and Holy Sound’s situation is even more miserable, where even order is lost, and their once world-renowned Players are chased like livestock by breeding pairs, needing Rhein’s assistance to halt the reckoning.
Only the “Star Relic” has yet to be affected.
But everyone knows that’s only temporary, as Star Relic also has a piece of Visas’s Corpse, and it’s a very important piece—the “Right Eye.” Ulu with the Left Eye would never let it go.
Thinking of this gave the Southern Bishop a headache.
It’s been such a short time, yet the Four Great Churches, which have ruled these lands for a millennium, have been wounded in such a manner.
So, he raised no more objections.
But Rocky asked at this moment, frowning, “But how are we supposed to cooperate? Just bring them the information and have them cooperate? I doubt those cultists will be that agreeable.”
“Very simple, through the Contract Land.”
“Contract Land?” the Southern Bishop said, “Isn’t the Contract Land known for not interfering in worldly affairs?”
“No, they don’t ignore worldly affairs; they focus only on matters related to Visas,” Lango had obviously thought about this place long ago, and said plainly, “Right now, an unprecedented individual, likely possessing four Corpse Blocks simultaneously, has appeared, and we cannot predict what will happen next. At such times, the Contract Land will not stand idly by. Don’t forget that until now, the Eight Great Churches continue to supply power to the Contract Land, solely to lock down the most troublesome thing.”
Upon hearing this, Rhein’s top members nodded at the same time.
Indeed, bound by the Contract Land, whether Orthodox Sects or Secret Religions, all must abide by the rules.
Hmm… all must abide by the rules…
Rocky suddenly thought of Taoyuan Village, recalling his experiences of massive losses under the rules, feeling a bit frustrated and uneasy.
But his emotions didn’t last long, as Lango called him again: “This matter will be entrusted to you, Rocky.”
Rocky was taken aback: “Me?”
“Yes, you’ll contact the Contract Land in my name, and then the Contract Land should invite each major church for a gathering witnessed by the gods and… a manhunt.” Lango said calmly, “At that time, you’ll serve as Rhein’s representative to the Contract Land.”
Everyone looked at Rocky.
Because Lango’s intention was already clear, Rocky represents Rhein, meaning, without surprises, he is the next Pope of Rhein.
Rocky immediately placed his hand on his chest solemnly: “Thank you, Your Eminence.”
Lango made a brief hum of acknowledgment, about to end the communication when Rocky spoke again.
“If such cooperation is truly initiated… how should we divide the spoils?” Rocky asked, “The Eight Great Churches, even excluding Holy Sound and Wildfire, there are six, and Ulu clearly doesn’t have six Corpse Blocks on him.”
