Despite possessing numerical attributes, he was not particularly afraid of these ordinary people rebelling.
However, these people are all property of the Moon Goddess Cave. They are confused and causing trouble, so killing them is not an option, but it would be a waste.
Therefore, the best approach is to maintain distance.
As long as we keep our distance and maintain an air of mystery, ordinary people won't come to their deaths.
But the priest was only human after all. He had kept it all bottled up for so long without anyone to talk to. Now that he had met Nemus, aside from the little he knew from the Moon God Cave, the priest told Nemus everything he could.
During this process, Nemes also talked about some of the local customs and traditions related to the floating whales, and gave a general overview of the training methods of the Discipline Church priests and the resources they needed.
These kinds of common-sense things are like treasures to priests.
After listening to Nemus's explanation, his stats changed significantly, rising from over 20 points to over 30 points.
"So that's how it is. So spiritual power actually needs such changes to maintain and propel spiritual light," the priest muttered to himself, feeling the dangers of the closure more and more keenly.
Resource scarcity is one issue, but the lack of various kinds of knowledge is also a huge problem.
Some common-sense errors prevented him from fully utilizing his mental energy, resulting in self-interference in his numerical values and a slow rate of improvement.
His talent is quite good, and he also has some lunar bloodline. If it weren't for these limitations, he probably would have had a real chance of reaching the Golden level.
Thinking of this, the priest became even more enthusiastic about Nemus.
He asked Naims what he needed and then offered to help.
Over the years, the Moon Goddess Cave has managed to reap some benefits from the land due to its secluded nature.
Special treasures like the Earth God Fruit are few in number, but they still exist.
However, Nemes simply shook his head at this.
“I will recover here for a while and then find an opportunity to go to where the floating whale is.” Nemus said seriously, “I still have a mission for the church and I am facing the demon lord. You are a member of the Moon Goddess Church, so it would be best if you did not get involved.”
Nemes has essentially pointed out the problems.
The priest, being of the Iron race, only possessed some of the expressive power of a Gold race when he was backed by the Moon Goddess Cave.
Now, once he leaves the Moon Goddess Cave, he is not qualified to participate in battles of this level.
Upon hearing Nemus's words, the priest nodded, seemingly taking them to heart.
However, that night, when Nemus took the Earth God Fruit to 'restore', the priest couldn't help but come to the core of the Moon God Cave.
He could naturally see that Nemus's strength far surpassed that of the Iron-type, and he must be considered a powerful being even among the Gold-type.
However, the fact that he dared to put Nemus into the Moon God's Cave suggests that he had a trump card up his sleeve.
This trump card gave him confidence that even if Nemus turned against him and tried to take over the Moon God Cave, he could completely suppress and destroy him.
"The calamity is reflected, and ten thousand yuan will be mine." The priest looked at the information, his mind racing, pondering the possibilities.
The priests of the Moon God Cave possess a most important secret technique—Moon Reflection.
This secret technique involves the core Reflection Method of the Moon Goddess Church, which allows one to reflect the power of others onto oneself.
What he currently controls is the power of calamity within the Moon Goddess Cave, which he then projects onto his body.
His strength will reach an extremely high level of the Gold rank in a short period of time, and he will gain many of the characteristics of Calamity.
In addition, many special powers emerged from his body.
According to ancient records, once activated, one can briefly gain power comparable to that of a veteran Gold Saint.
If one's skills are up to par, fighting against some top-tier Gold Saints shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Of course, after casting Moon Reflection, the calamity power of the Moon God Cave will be completely exhausted.
He needs to hunt enough calamity creatures during the Moon Reflection period and imprison them under the flower field in order to maintain the survival of the Moon God Cave.
If the number of calamity creatures hunted is insufficient, problems will arise in the Moon God Cave due to insufficient income.
Therefore, Moonlight Reflection is generally used as a trump card and should not be used lightly.
The reason the priest began to study this secret technique was that he was considering his chances of success if he were to get involved.
I ask for nothing more than to acquire a new population, as well as some other cultivation resources and scriptures.
"Eh..." A sudden sigh startled the priest.
Then, countless tiny things began to wriggle within his body.
Chapter 511 Sorry, I'm not three years old yet.
Nemus's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight, which was already cascading down like a waterfall, became even more intense at this moment.
The entire sky resembled an ocean of moonlight, its rich glow illuminating everything around it.
Nems immediately became serious, realizing that his elaborate scheme had led to a major objective.
He drew his sword, the sacred incantation on its blade glowing faintly, ready to be summoned at any moment.
"I wonder which member of the Church of the Moon Goddess you are?" Nemus asked.
“You little fellow from the Discipline Church, you’re not bad.” The Moon God Priest appeared before Nemus, but this time he was definitely not the priest he had encountered before.
Right now, this person was radiating moonlight, which covered his body like a veil.
Although he still has a male body, his physique is now closer to that of a woman.
"You may call me Our Lady of the Moon Halo," the 'Priest' said, looking Nemus up and down, his eyes filled with admiration: "You possess an extremely fitting holy power, a numerical sense of historical driving force and weight. You are the Holy Son who appeared in the Discipline Church during this period?"
Information flowed slowly during the era of floating whales, but that was only basic information.
Top-tier information flows very quickly.
For example, Nemus could sense that the Sword of Fortune had spread far and wide, and even in the Central Plains surrounded by the Whale of Origin, there were many people practicing the Sword of Fortune.
Of course, Nemus could sense that those people in the Middle Kingdom used some kind of special thing when they were cultivating, something that could interfere with Nemus's connection to fate to a certain extent.
In other words, it was difficult for Nemus to sense what they were cultivating.
This is not surprising; those at the top level could not possibly fail to see the secrets hidden behind the Sword of Fortune.
At most, they can only interfere with this connection, but they cannot sever it.
Nemus's identity as the creator of the Sword of Fortune is something they cannot take away from him.
In the same way, the information about the legendary Son of God cannot be kept secret.
There is still considerable trade between the Seven Gods Alliance, and with the flow of information, it is normal for Nemus to be recognized.
“That’s right.” Nems didn’t hide anything: “I was stranded on Earth by accident and suffered some injuries, but I will be leaving soon.”
"Oh." The Holy Mother of the Moon Halo responded with an "oh," but didn't say much more, continuing to observe Nemus.
Only after failing to observe anything did the Holy Mother of the Moon Halo speak.
"Your arrival has certainly stirred up some thoughts among the personnel at our Earth Base."
"He's already prepared to unleash the cave's trump card, ready to follow you into the Floating Whale adventure."
“It’s not my fault,” Nems said helplessly.
“He has always had a strong desire to explore the outside world. Even if I hadn’t come, he would have left this place one day,” Nemus said.
The Holy Mother of the Moon nodded in agreement.
This kind of thing happened before with the Moon Goddess Priests. After a certain priest trained a successor, he secretly left the Moon Goddess Cave and went to live with the floating whales.
They felt that life in the cave was too austere.
So they basically lived on floating whales and never returned.
But this priest is even bolder now. After listening to Nemus's words, he actually wants to use the trump card of the Moon God Cave.
This is precisely what Our Lady of the Lunar Halo cannot allow.
There are many similar Moon Goddess Caves across the entire land.
These numbers can only increase, not decrease, over the years.
Within the Church of the Moon Goddess, these things also have specific standards.
"I need you to sign a contract with me." Only then did the Holy Mother of the Moon Halo abandon the idea of leaving Nemus entirely in the cave.
She had been assessing the likelihood of killing Nemus here without triggering the fate thread of the God of Discipline within Nemus.
Once a person reaches a certain level of status and position within the church, they will be bound by a destiny intertwined with the church.
Nems naturally had a similar fate.
Generally speaking, deities cannot enter the material plane, so they can only observe and interfere with it through connections of fate and networks of faith.
Most of the current Gods of Discipline do not have that ability, but that does not prevent Him from instinctively recording what happens here and then observing the Moon God's Cave.
The Moon Goddess Cave is of great importance; it's best to avoid doing anything that could cause unnecessary trouble.
"I wonder what kind of contract it is," Nemus said with some curiosity.
He has rarely signed contracts with people during this period. Firstly, because he has reached a higher level, people are no longer completely ignorant about the power of change and have begun to have the ability to sense it.
Keeping vows and precepts is likely to arouse the other party's suspicion.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Nems restrains himself from keeping his oath.
Furthermore, Nemus's Oath Rope already possesses many unique traits. The traits that ordinary characters acquire through keeping oaths are actually not as convenient and useful as the traits that Nemus gathers through the Golden Key in the Truth Observation state.
"Most importantly, you need to conceal the existence of the Moon Goddess Cave and not reveal any information about it."
"Secondly, if possible, could you please bring some ordinary people into the Moon Goddess Cave?"
"Of course... if you'd like to preserve your seed yourself, that would be even better. I have a way to ensure someone can get pregnant with your child."
"Apart from that, there's nothing else."
The Holy Mother of the Moon said that countless moonlit things were writhing on the priest's body. This scene did not seem strange. On the contrary, under the hazy moonlight, it had a special alluring power.
The wriggling things quickly converged, and the priest's chest skin suddenly bulged, with facial features vaguely appearing on it.
Then a sculpted human figure crawled out from the priest's body.
The priest, who had been lying on the ground, was now exuding an aura of emptiness, yet strangely, he was not dead.
The new body of the Virgin of the Moon Halo was exposed to the moonlight, and everything looked so white and tender.
Beneath that fair and delicate skin, even the tiny, finger-sized traces of insects wriggling beneath the skin appear aesthetically pleasing.
Soon, holes and eyes appeared on the face of the Holy Mother of the Moon Halo.
The bald-headed Holy Mother of the Moon looked at Nemus and boldly displayed her figure.
"If you are willing to bear children with my lunar body, I can even lend you a hand and help you deal with that demon lord." The Holy Mother of the Moon Halo was extremely beautiful, a beauty that even her bizarre birth could not diminish.
Looking at her, it even felt like looking at the moon.
Furthermore, the body of the Moon Halo Mother is constantly adjusting itself, becoming more and more in line with Nemus's aesthetic.
It also has a hazy, moon-like effect.
"I'm sorry, I'm not three years old yet."
Chapter 512 Contract
"..." The Holy Mother of the Moon Halo's face stiffened. She had expected Nemus to refuse, but she hadn't expected Nemus to refuse in this way.
For a moment, she even felt guilty, as if she were teasing a child.
However, the Holy Mother of the Moon soon stopped caring about the lunar halo.
She only slightly imitated human morality and such.
If there's a profit involved, then let alone a 'child' like Nemes who looks no different from an adult, even if they were real children, they would only have one fate.
The moon can reflect and then illuminate everything.
With Nemus as her light, she is able to perfectly give birth to a child with holy power and the potential of a legendary species.
Unfortunately, this was only possible if Nemus himself was willing; otherwise, what would have been born would have been a flawed experimental subject.
No church would lack similar experimental subjects.
