Chapter 2778: In Total

“In my view, it would have been better to continue letting Su Ziyue and the King of Gods Pillar remain entangled in the holy conflict. During this time, we could have done other things.”
Jing Ge’er narrowed his eyes and asked, “Other things?”
“Snap!”
Qiu Xiaoling immediately understood Fang Heng’s implication. She snapped her fingers, excitement clear on her face, and said, “I get it now! The Holy Realm has plenty of holy weapons, and there are also demonic seeds locked up in the Demon Suppressing Temple. We’ll let Su Ziyue continue playing with the Holy Court people for a while, and meanwhile, we’ll take advantage of the situation to gain some benefits, right?”
Abulati chuckled and continued, “Once we’ve gathered enough benefits, and the Holy Court and Su Ziyue have fought it out, we’ll wait for the perfect moment. We’ll strike when the time is right, repay any grudges, and settle any scores.”
Fang Heng looked at Qiu Xiaoling and Abulati with appreciation.
...
“Correct.”
Upon hearing this, the demonic seeds exchanged glances.
Jing Ge’er’s eyes glimmered with amusement as he thought for a moment, then said, “Interesting. Greed. So, what do you propose?”
Fang Heng replied, “How about a deal? I’ll help you get rid of the parasites on your bodies, but in return, you’ll follow my lead during the Holy Realm’s operation.”
“Very interesting. I’m willing to accept, but you’d better not make me regret this decision.”
“Of course.”
…
Outside the altar.
Dickt and the members of the Godwing Tribe were waiting outside the gate.
As soon as they saw Fang Heng and Bai Mu’s group leave the altar, they immediately approached to greet them, “Great Sage, has everything been resolved?”
“Half of it has been resolved, Dickt. But before anything else, why don’t you tell me about the Heart of the Sacred Feather?”
Dickt’s expression changed slightly.
“The Great Sage… You…”
“I promised I wouldn’t hold you accountable. I just want to know what happened.”
“Alright, none of this is really a secret,” Dickt sighed inwardly and explained, “The Heart of the Sacred Feather has always been a special item required by our Godwing Tribe to purify the soul. By sacrificing to the Heart of the Sacred Feather, our psychic strength can be refined, thus enhancing our power.”
“However, the Holy Court claims that the Heart of the Sacred Feather was created by an ancient evil god to deceive our Godwing Tribe. So, for a long time, they have gradually prohibited us from using the Heart of the Sacred Feather, publicly recalling all of the remaining Hearts. Since several hundred years ago, any private possession of the Heart of the Sacred Feather has been seen as a sign of being mentally corrupted by the demon god.”
“Heh…” Abulati sneered from the side and said, “Using the label of heretics to weaken the Godwing Tribe’s strength is indeed the Holy Court’s usual tactic.”
Fang Heng asked, “Has the Godwing Tribe never considered resistance?”
Dickt shook his head and said, “A large portion of our people have embraced the faith of the Holy Court and are unwilling to become enemies with them.”
Fang Heng remembered that he had seen some descriptions of the Godwing Tribe in the library.
or the Holy Court, the use of many skills, the operation of magic arrays, and the maintenance of various temples all require a significant amount of faith.
The Godwing Tribe is born with extremely pure souls, and under the influence of their pure souls, the faith of the tribe members also becomes incredibly pure, enabling them to receive the very pure power of faith.
The Holy Court’s control over the Heart of the Sacred Feather in the Holy Realm is likely to better manipulate the Godwing Tribe and extract their faith power.
“Dickt, I have a new proposal for cooperation.”
“Cooperation?” Dickt was somewhat suspicious. “Great Sage, what is this proposal you speak of?”
“I will go to the God Pillar and help you find the Hearts of the Sacred Feather that the Holy Court has hidden and confiscated. If you’re willing, I can even take you out of the Holy Realm. However, I also need you and your Godwing Tribe to help me transport something.”
“Huh?”
Dickt stared at Fang Heng, momentarily wondering if he had heard wrong.
A Great Sage from the Holy Court helping them retrieve the Hearts of the Sacred Feather that the Holy Court had confiscated?
Was he sure he hadn’t misunderstood?
Or was this all some trap?

But…
The other party was a Great Sage of the Holy Court. Was there really a need to set up a trap to deal with him?
Fang Heng asked, “What do you think?”
“Alright!”
After a slight hesitation, Dickt agreed without hesitation.
The worst-case scenario was being deceived. After all, hiding the Hearts of the Sacred Feather from the Holy Court was already a serious crime. Someone had to step forward to bear the punishment.
If it came to that, he could take the fall himself!
“Good.”
Fang Heng leaned closer and whispered a few words into Dickt’s ear.
Dickt’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
“You mean…”
…
At the edge of the forest.
Hain, leading the Holy Court’s guards, was still waiting.
Suddenly, with a loud ‘boom,’ the ground beneath the Holy Court’s guards began to shake violently.
They looked up and saw a red pillar of light shooting up into the sky from the domain of the Godwing Tribe’s holy land.
The power of Hell!
The crimson hellfire colored most of the sky!
This was bad!
Hain’s heart skipped a beat. He was about to command the God’s Punishment Knight Legion to investigate.
Wait?
Hain narrowed his eyes.
Not far ahead, Fang Heng, escorted by a group of Godwing Tribe members, was returning to the forest’s edge.
Thank goodness.
Fang Heng had returned safely.
But it was strange.
Most of the Godwing Tribe weren’t particularly friendly with the Holy Court, so why were they personally escorting Fang Heng out?
Suppressing his confusion, Hain greeted Fang Heng with respect.
“Great Sage.”
“Commander Hain, immediately report to the Great Sages at the King of Gods Pillar. It has been confirmed that the demonic seed has secretly set up a Hell Gate within the Godwing Tribe. The Hell army will invade the Holy Realm continuously through the Hell Gate. Also, I want you to immediately return to the King of Gods Pillar and do everything in your power to protect its safety.”
Hain’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
“Great Sage, we just received word from the King of Gods Pillar. The God King’s condition is extremely unstable. Many elite forces have been urgently dispatched to the King of Gods Pillar. Additionally, three of the Great Sages from the temples have requested that we take you to the King of Gods Pillar to help protect the God King.”
Fang Heng’s mind stirred.
It seemed that Su Ziyue had already made a move.
But he hadn’t expected that the Holy Court would be so fearful of Su Ziyue, gathering all their forces to defend the King of Gods Pillar.
What an excellent opportunity!
Fang Heng felt a surge of excitement.
If the God Pillar wasn’t being guarded, wouldn’t this be his chance…
“Great Sage?”
“Mm…” Fang Heng looked up and addressed Hain seriously, “It seems the King of Gods Pillar is in trouble. We’ll head to the Sub-God Pillar first.”
“Understood!”
Hain raised his hand, and immediately, they activated the teleportation passage, heading to the Mist God Pillar.
….
With a burst of radiant holy light, Hain led the God’s Punishment Knight Legion back to the Sub-God Pillar.
Fang Heng squinted and looked into the distance.
He could see the dazzling holy light from the King of Gods Pillar high in the clouds becoming even more brilliant.
“Great Sage, the teleportation passage is ready,” Hain said, his face filled with confusion as he asked, “Aren’t you coming with us to the King of Gods Pillar?”
