Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 287 - 284: Looks Just Like a Fish

"The Holy Artifact has formidable power, a treasure bestowed by the gods upon the Original Sin Continent. Its ownership belongs to the divine, and its use, naturally, falls to the Church! Only the Church is qualified to wield the Holy Artifact granted by the gods, spreading the glory of the divine."

"Where does the Holy Artifact usually appear?" Bai Pu asked.

"The Holy Artifact appears only in the Land of Divine Blessings."

Bai Pu understood that the so-called "Land of Divine Blessings" was actually regions where supernatural phenomena occurred.

For example, in a certain village, if a Blood Moon event occurred and the entire village was mysteriously devoured, it was likely a Land of Divine Blessings.

Another instance might be a city disappearing overnight, leaving only a massive pit behind...that certainly is a Land of Divine Blessings.

Bai Pu felt his eye twitch as he listened.

Is this really a divine blessing?

It's more like a "blessing" from a demon.

But thinking about it, the Thorn Church was a congregation of twisted creatures, and the god they worshiped might well be a demon, at best an Evil God, so leaving such "divine blessings" was reasonable.

Father Arius, unaware of Bai Pu's thoughts, provided a lot of useful information:

"There are many rumors of Divine Gift Lands on the continent, but many are just false reports.

"The Church places great importance on collecting Holy Artifacts, so Lord Gilder and Lord Two-Faced Man are in the Southwest and Eastern Regions, respectively, gathering and verifying information on Holy Artifacts. Currently, what Lord Gilder is investigating in the Southwest Region is the 'Divine Gifted Heavenly Pit.'"

Bai Pu curiously said, "The Divine Gifted Heavenly Pit is that city that disappeared overnight, right? Isn't this an ancient legend?"

"To be precise, it happened three years ago. But the great Holy Mother delivered a decree, that the Holy Artifact of the Divine Gifted Heavenly Pit is about to appear. The power of this Holy Artifact is extremely strong, comparable to the sum of the Holy Artifacts in the Church's inventory! Therefore, Lord Gilder places great importance on it."

...

"Gangxin!"

In the Twisted Jungle, the Border Town Wanderer let out a wounded beast-like roar.

Chen Ge, holding his shoulders, said indifferently, "This time, we were overconfident, thinking we could easily take out a missionary team. In reality, even without Gangxin taking action, we couldn't handle the missionary team."

"But if it weren't for Gangxin, Lan Feng could have escaped!" the Border Town Wanderer shouted angrily. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"The Overlord I brought along also fled back... Sigh, I really don't know how to explain this to Aunt Zhou." Chen Ge shook his head.

Having just arrived in the Original Sin World, they gained nothing but returned to reality battered and bruised.

According to the unwritten rules among the Awakened Forces, Spirit Realm exploration depends on one's own ability, and the Western Capital Zhou Family has no way to hold Bai Pu accountable, only to blame Chen Ge secretly for inadequate protection.

The Border Town Wanderer paced around like a trapped animal and finally gritted his teeth, saying, "No, we can't just let this slide!"

"What do you plan to do?"

"Right now, we are in the shadows, and Gangxin is out in the open!" The Border Town Wanderer grinded his teeth, "We'll find a chance to take him down, or at least drive him out!"

"Are you here to fight with Gangxin, or to complete Lord Divine Envoy's mission?"

Chen Ge said coldly, "Don't forget Titi Divine Envoy's words. In this trial, those Preparatory Voters who perform well can be directly promoted, while those who perform poorly will have their Seed of Dream Blessing revoked!"

The Border Town Wanderer remained silent.

He calmed himself, "Alright, I admit I made some mistakes in my command... Now you take the lead, what do you plan to do?"

Chen Ge thought for a moment and said, "With the strength of us Mid-level Awakened, it's difficult to contend with the powerful Advanced Natives, let alone the formidable Thorn Church. However, the Thorn Church does have hostile Native forces. We can look for the Thorn Cutter camp and seek to join them!"

...

On the edge of a dried-up riverbed, in a mud pit, two fish lay in the muck, blowing bubbles at each other to moisten each other's bodies.

A large steel-covered hand reached out to pick up the two fish.

An ancient Magic Staff simultaneously extended, carrying faint golden rings to block the steel hand. At the same time, a voice full of compassion echoed, "Metarica, these two little fish have such pitiful fates!"

The person holding the ancient Magic Staff was a young man with golden curls, draped in a black Priest Robe, his eyes seemingly filled with kindness and compassion.

The owner of the steel hand, "Metarica," was a man about two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back like a bear.

"Yemang!"

Metarica took a standard white Armor from the Storage Space, bit off a large chunk, chewing it as he rumbled, "I need to eat! This damned world lacks my food!"

"If you're hungry, you can eat metal equipment; it's more beneficial for you to deeply comprehend Metal Mystical Arts."

The blond priest "Yemang" carefully cleaned the dirt from the two small fish, slowly saying while looking into the fish's eyes:

"See how pitiful they are, doomed to dry in a mud pit. Instead of enduring such torture, they should be liberated early, and may the light be with you."

Tiny beams of light shot out from Yemang's fingertips, akin to a sharp, delicate scalpel, scrubbing the fish scales clean and then skinning the fish meat piece by piece, leaving only two blood-covered fish skeletons.

Yemang picked up a piece of fish flesh and gracefully placed it in his mouth.

Behind Metarica and the blond priest Yemang were two Native people dressed as civilians, their expressions downcast and extremely respectful.

"Yemang, what's your plan next?" Metarica asked.

Yemang clearly had it figured out, confidently saying, "According to the testimonies of these two lost lambs, the location ahead is not far from Farie City, a large stronghold of the Thorn Church!"

"So, are we going to join the Thorn Church? That would really be a good idea; once we infiltrate the upper levels, we could covet their stock of Holy Artifacts."

"Don't speak nonsense. We are here to save these poor souls fallen into darkness, and those so-called Holy Artifacts must be the source of their degradation and corruption, which we must take away to purify!"

Yemang's face was full of empathy.

...

Southwest Region, Miulan City.

Bai Pu and Blood Spider arrived at the Miulan City Thorn Church branch.

The Bishop of this branch—Lord Yajino—was currently presiding over the Suffering Ceremony and couldn't leave, so Bai Pu and Blood Spider could only wait.

Finally, the Suffering Ceremony concluded, and the crowd gradually exited from the chapel.

"Those two people, they look like fish," Blood Spider whispered in the team channel.

Bai Pu looked up, eyes narrowing instantly.

Two Fish People emerged from the crowd.

The one trailing behind had an octopus head, golden pupils, and four soft tentacles dangling from his chin, holding a Magic Staff that looked like a Water Vine.
