The wonder of cause and effect was clearly revealed at this moment.

He was just an ordinary person who originally wanted to break free from those constraints and become a Gold Seed through his own abilities.

However, due to the entanglement of cause and effect, it became a silver species.

And it is an extremely confusing type of silver.

At this very moment, the contradiction of cause and effect still manifests in him.

All the problems were simply because the silver water was forcibly suppressed.

But at this moment, he was truly lost.

He didn't know how to continue.

He held fast to his faith, but his piety was already riddled with cracks.

To succumb to a fabricated agreement? That would mean betraying the past.

Some people in the church do indeed have ulterior motives in trying to curry favor with others; their goodwill masks underlying needs.

But their goodwill was genuine.

Hino was a good man, and he knew perfectly well that he had indeed received favors from those people.

On this point, he cannot simply ignore all the past kindness and then completely deny it.

He then joined the fictitious agreement and began working for Nemes.

"Lord Nemus?!" Just then, Kross's exclamation suddenly came from outside.

Hino immediately became alert. He looked towards the door and then heard a knock.

"May I come in?" Hino heard a seemingly polite voice.

At that moment, Xinuo realized that the voice came from Nems.

After a moment's thought, Xinuo lowered her guard and said, "Please come in."

This was the first time Hino had met Nems in person.

It wasn't as ferocious and terrifying as the legends portrayed it as a demon.

The first impression it gives is one of profundity.

It was like a vast, boundless expanse of darkness.

However, it lacks the profound depth of an abyss, which evokes a sense of unknown fear.

On the contrary, the other party's existence possessed a grand yet serene quality; the vast power swirled, all concealed beneath this grand tranquility.

"What do you want from me?" Hino didn't use a respectful title for Nems, but when she asked this question, her tone softened and became somewhat respectful, even to Hino's surprise.

However, Hino soon realized what was happening.

If we set aside any prejudice against Naemus, then Naemus himself is indeed a person worthy of respect.

Regardless of Nemes's motives and methods, he did indeed rewrite the essence of most people's lives on many occasions.

To be precise, Nemus himself is also drawing power from the outside world.

In essence, both Nemus and gods are carnivores.

However, the difference lies in the fact that while the gods eat meat, they completely ignore the related responsibilities.

But the responsibilities that Nemes shouldered were more than he had imagined.

It can be said that although Nemes was unscrupulous in his actions, in general, Nemes' moral standards were higher than those of the church and the gods.

In this world where everyone's worse, at least Nems isn't so disgusting.

If it weren't for a genuine hatred towards Nems, Xino would most likely have already surrendered and contributed his strength to Nems' grand plan.

“Don’t worry,” Nems said with a smile. “From the very beginning, I was the one who brought you into Sleeping Town.”

"And all of this is because of your piety."

"To be honest, my next target is the God of Discipline, a heart devout enough to deceive His senses and inflict fatal damage upon Him."

"So you're here to kill me?" Xinuo suddenly calmed down.

He was ready to make a move at any time. Although he was no match for Nemus, he believed that if he died, he could escape this struggling state of mind.

"Lord Nemus!" Cross, who was standing to the side, was also about to say something.

“I think you’ve misunderstood.” Nemus raised his hand to interrupt them: “Piety is not the heart.”

"It is a state of cognition."

Aren't you currently troubled by the cause and effect of these two states of cognition?

“Following my method, your devout cognition will be completely stripped away and become what I need.”

"And you too can achieve pure cognition and advance to the Gold Rank." Nemus's words seemed to possess a power that allowed people to quiet down, listen, and understand the content of Nemus's words.

"Then why should I obey your orders?" Although Hino knew that Nems could kill him with a single breath, he would not back down in the slightest.

There is no doubt that Nems is an enemy.

“That’s naturally because of your kindness.” Nemes skillfully used moral blackmail: “My goal is the gods. If I succeed in taking the throne, it will be a good thing for most people.”

"What do you think of Sleeping Town?" Nems then changed the subject and asked Qixino about his feelings about Sleeping Town, instead of continuing to use moral blackmail.

“Very good.” Hino nodded.

If you remove the element of real-world competition from Sleeping Town, then this place is exceptionally beautiful.

Everyone is roughly equal, with top-notch food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and enjoys various material comforts.

Knowledge is no longer a monopoly here.

While some learning and research are still needed to earn contribution points, it will no longer be a bottleneck for others.

As long as you want to learn, you can basically keep learning.

"How does it compare to the divine kingdom you've been promoting?" Nemus asked again.

At that moment, Xinuo fell silent.

When he first arrived in the town of Sleeping, he thought he had entered a divine kingdom.

But they soon realized something was wrong, and so they denied that this was a divine kingdom.

just now……

“This place is stronger than the Divine Kingdom,” Xinuo said truthfully.

Now that he views things rationally, he naturally understands the vanity of the Kingdom of God.

The so-called endless milk and honey, the so-called mountains of grain and rivers of wine, and the so-called virgin service are all full of loopholes.

Even if it were to be realized, it would only be a matter of indulging in basic material desires, and would not bring people lasting peace.

"I don't need you to join a fictitious agreement or submit to me."

"You can look at the world with a purer perspective."

"You want to see the world become a better place, and helping me this time is helping the world become a better place."

"And if one day my actions only make the world worse, then I welcome you to stop me!" With Nemes' words, Xinuo gradually came to a realization.

His devout faith in God, believing Him to be great, stemmed from the belief that this faith would free himself and many others from suffering.

Stripped of all external factors, his purpose has always been very clear.

Let's make this world a better place!

Chapter 788 The Ceremony Begins

Having realized this, Xinuo's mental state changed rapidly.

A pure spiritual power erupted within him.

At the same time, another kind of cognition is also rejected and stripped away in this process.

It is purely exclusive.

After realizing that believing in God would not make the world a better place, his former piety was thus rejected.

Nemes quickly materialized this abstract state of cognition and then incorporated it into his mind using arcane techniques.

As a material for the Sacred Heart Technique, this thing is barely acceptable.

Furthermore, Nems had other methods of fabrication that could completely deceive the divine, making it impossible for the God of Discipline to truly distinguish between this heart and the heart of the saint.

On the other side, Xinuo also received 'purification'.

Now, he is similar to Meng He, embarking on the pure spiritual path envisioned by Nems.

Of course, there is still a long way to go, and his purity is still far inferior to Meng He's.

In any case, Menghe truly climbed the Tower of the Moon, gradually clarifying and overcoming his past history and possibilities.

Hino is still quite far from it.

Of course, he can now be praised for his extraordinary potential.

If he can continue on this path without wavering, then perhaps he still has a chance to become a saint without gods.

As for becoming a mythical species, that's basically impossible.

In the final era, the restless mud has blocked this path.

In comparison, Menghe, who has spiritual support and is preparing to combine destiny and thought, has a much higher probability of becoming a mythical species.

However, Meng He is an exception.

Her spiritual convergence was the result of the combined efforts of Nemus and the Moon Goddess.

While Hino's existence is rare, it is not something that cannot be achieved through individual ability.

After all, Nemus didn't push things along much in the whole affair; at most, it was because of his initial causal bloodline that he was given a causal inheritance.

If Hino can't do it, then it can't be done.

Besides him, there were other people.

This was also Nems's goal.

It is not easy to have a pure and devout heart toward God.

Then it is easier to cultivate one's own pure heart.

Once facilitated, the exclusivity of a pure heart can be used to perfectly strip away the devotion to God.

Similar to proof by contradiction.

The piety gained in this situation is incomplete; if it were the initial Sacred Heart spell, it might not be enough.

However, Nemus's improved Sacred Heart spell is sufficient, and may even be better.

After all, the Sacred Heart Technique's most important reference point is that page of the scroll that may have come from outer space.

Nems's "external existence" also comes from the outer universe and also possesses unknowable characteristics.

With both items acquired, Nemus's improvements to the Sacred Heart spell naturally progressed further.

After carefully collecting the collected acts of piety, Nemus bid farewell to Shinor.

The time ahead is very tight; in about a week, the initial actions against the God of Discipline will begin.

In this process, the God of Discipline is not the focus.

The key is to guard against the interference of the sun god.

-----------------

On the Blue Whale, the sun was still scorching.

Time has already changed; there are now about twenty hours of daylight in a day, and soon we will reach a state of eternal blazing sun.

At that time, everyone probably wouldn't even have a chance to catch their breath.

Although the bone caries beast incident has been brought under control, the problem remains very serious.

After all, the root cause of the sun's curse still exists.
