Alien Paradise.

Chapter 411 Peace Covenant
Over the next two days, the delegation went to the Acropolis.

Chaoyang seamlessly switched to the Acropolis clone and used the "connection" ability of the Kingdom of God to observe everyone's movements throughout the process. Obviously, the Laurel Royal Family and the Longjiu Family were not aware of the fifteen-year secret and had no intention of going to the beach cave to take a look. Qi Bo Longjiu walked most of the city seriously, asked many passers-by, and stayed at the reception of the Paradise Church for a long time.

Obviously, seeing a city that should have been abandoned become so prosperous and bustling was more shocking than any rumors. At the same time, they also found that there were deviations in the history of the two places. For example, someone had left the Acropolis in the past fifteen years, but no one outside noticed it. Even the news about the Paradise Cult only spread in the past year, and the place of origin was the Splendid Castle in the New World.

Unfortunately, under the influence of the power of the fog, no matter how they inquired, they could not find any flaws - the memories of the people in the Acropolis were real, and the memories of the outside world were also real. If they had not personally experienced the unsolved mystery, they would probably never understand the truth.

But for Qi Bo, the shock went far beyond this.

He found that whether it was Thousand Forest Castle or Acropolis, the control of the Paradise Church over the local area was far deeper than he expected. This was no longer just a sect of God, but a real government with real power. The local people had long accepted the fact that there was no lord. On the other hand, the governance of the Paradise Church was well-organized and meticulous, and its rich experience did not seem like a new organization at all.

There is also the magical believer seal, which allows people to communicate over long distances. This is undoubtedly a unique device, and it can be reproduced in large quantities.

Unfortunately, the believer's seal can only be used in places where there is Paradise Church. Once it leaves the urban area, it becomes an ordinary gem.

Reducing the cost of using strange structures and allowing everyone to own them has been Duke Longjiu's long-term goal.

On this point, the two sides are surprisingly similar.

Qi Bo had to admit that this new religion that suddenly emerged was indeed different from all the previous sects, and it deserved the Longjiu family's special attention.

After Long Jiu's eldest son applied repeatedly, the messenger Chaoyang finally "agreed" to build a bridge for him.

The audience ceremony was held in the Acropolis Cathedral, and the only person present was Qi Bo Long Jiu, which undoubtedly showed who was the real master of the delegation.

The moment he followed the rising sun into the audience hall, Qi Bo felt that the light around him had dimmed. The room was surrounded by fine black velvet curtains that hung from the ceiling to the floor. Many candles were burning at the feet, like swaying stars. The air was filled with the scent of pine resin and the strange smell of some medicinal herbs, just like an ancient witch's divination place.

He frowned slightly.

This ancient ritual was incompatible with the identity of the new god... For example, the hall of the Shinji Cult was decorated with all connecting rods and gears, which looked powerful. The scene in front of him seemed to be arranged hundreds of years ago when people still blindly followed the gods.

But this was outsiders' territory after all, so he couldn't say much.

"Please sit down." Chaoyang pointed to a lounge chair and then walked to the ceremony platform opposite.

"Uh... don't you have more normal chairs here?" Qi Bo looked at the chair and asked with some embarrassment.

"To meet the gods, one needs to relax completely. Lying down is more appropriate than sitting. Whoever wants to talk to the gods will do so on this chair." Chao Yang explained calmly, "Or has Your Excellency changed your mind?"

"No... that's it." Qi Bo responded helplessly, and sat down on the recliner. As his center of gravity was lowered, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness, so he held the armrests on both sides of the chair tightly with both hands, so that if he encountered any abnormal situation, he could at least pull himself up quickly.

"Then I'm going to summon the gods." Chaoyang said pretentiously.

"Please. I look forward to talking with the gods you serve."

Following an ancient chant, the surrounding firelight became dimmer, as if the entire hall was covered by a curtain. Qi Bo found that the candles beside him had disappeared, and even the ground had turned pitch black, but even in this absence of light, he could still see his clothes and five fingers clearly.

This counterintuitive scene was indeed like the atmosphere that the gods liked to create. What Qi Bo didn't know was that the person sitting opposite him was not just Chaoyang, but a row of people - such as Kokomochi who was responsible for adjusting the lighting effects, Xue Quan who was responsible for the content of the conversation, Elodie who made sure he wouldn't make any unusual moves, and Shadow who prevented any information leaks. Even the armrests on both sides of the recliner were transformed from magic hourglasses. As long as the person sitting on it held the armrests, they could use the hourglass to confirm whether what he said was true.

I'm afraid Qi Bo could never have imagined that this audience ceremony was him alone meeting an inspection team composed of many gods.

When the chanting ended, an angel image made up of white shadows slowly emerged in the boundless darkness, and this image also matched the statue in the Acropolis Square.

"You are not my believer..." A mixed voice of men and women sounded at the same time, "Tell me, why do you want to see me?"

Qi Bo Longjiu swallowed his saliva.

He thought that he was different from those ignorant civilians and could talk freely even to gods, just like when he talked to the God of All Things. But when the legendary Lord of Paradise looked down at him from above, he felt a strong sense of insignificance.

No, it's just scaring yourself.

Gods are not beasts with power alone, they are the embodiment of human prayers.

"The Longjiu family has recently received a warning." Qi Bo took a deep breath and tried to make himself unattractive. Secretly, the god of the gods was assassinated.

Not a confrontation, nor questioning the truth, but to prevent misunderstandings?

This wording surprised Chaoyang a little.

As for the content of the warning...it is indeed quite precise.

"What is the misunderstanding you are talking about?"

"My Lord God, the main purpose of this warning is undoubtedly to sow discord. Someone hopes that the Longjiu family will target Qianlin Fort and Paradise Church so that they can benefit from it. The process of transmitting the message was very cleverly disguised. The conspirator even used a pawn who had been hiding in the Royal City for a long time to achieve this. However, my family did not fall for it. Instead, we found out that the source of the message came from the mountains."

Although he did not mention any names, it was well known which force was dominant in the mountains.

"I see. It seems that you don't want the Paradise Cult to come into direct conflict with the Shen Ji Cult?"

"Of course." Qi Bo replied decisively, "The people on the continent should work together instead of killing each other... If the Kingdom Army had not fallen to the point of colluding with the evil cult, the Longjiu family would not have done this."

He spoke in a decisive tone, but the flow of the hourglass became slightly faster.

"If you are just here to tell me the news, I already know it."

"Yes... My father also entrusted me with another task, which is to observe Qianlin Castle and Acropolis on the spot to see whether the people under your church's governance are well protected. And my conclusion is that the local residents have indeed benefited from the governance of the Paradise Church, and their living standards have improved a lot compared to the original rule of the kingdom's lords, which proves that your church is on the right track. So I want to sign a peace treaty on behalf of the Longjiu family and the Paradise Church, mutually recognize each other's sphere of influence, and peacefully fight for believers in the unowned land; finally, both sides will not invade each other's territory to prevent the war from spreading across the entire continent."

Qi Bo Long Jiu said sincerely.
