World Version Updates-Chapter 482 - 306: The Storm Descends! (Part 3)

These devout followers are not the reason for the realignment of the stars at all.

Ordinary mortal followers, no matter how numerous or devout, absolutely lack the power to trigger such terrifying phenomena concerning the world's origin.

Their true role is to act as precise coordinates and waypoints, using their purest and most fervent Power of Faith to construct stable faith bridges to prematurely usher in the Seven Great Gods, who were originally due to awaken from slumber a few days later.

So that Their wills and powers can descend upon this world sooner.

For each church's thousands of devout followers, their lives and faith are like the crisp and melodious bells ringing before the start of a feast, awakening those seven ancient deities sleeping deep within the river of time and inviting Them to partake in this grand feast of old.

"These devout followers have been missing for so long, why did both Elizabeth and I subconsciously overlook their existence?"

Lu Yan's gaze suddenly focused sharply, a terrifying gleam flashing in his eyes as his sight, like a sharp sword, converged instantly on the Steam Cathedral in Oranck City, where the Holy Light still soared into the sky.

At that moment, his Divine Thought Power was pushed to the extreme, tracing the dazzling torrent of Holy Light, forcefully penetrating through the three doors of bronze, silver, and gold beneath the Steam Cathedral, finally arriving in the Secret Divine Hall hidden deep underground where thousands of devout followers gathered.

Within the Divine Hall, sacred songs continued to echo, the dense Power of Faith almost materializing.

On the throne composed of countless gears and steam pipes, the figure of the Steam Angel King was clearly visible.

It seemed to sense Lu Yan's sudden probing gaze and slowly turned its head, its face, which always bore a gentle smile.

At this moment, the smile appeared to be full of deeper meaning, even carrying a hint of... mockery.

And beneath Its throne, those thousands of devout followers remained immersed in fervent prayer.

The brass clocks in their hands emitted a blinding light, continuously channeling all of the Steam Sect's faith into the heaven-piercing Holy Light.

"Yes... these Secret Divine Halls isolated external investigations, coupled with the hidden interference and concealment conducted by the authority wielded by the Night Goddess."

Lu Yan instantly understood the crux of the matter.

The previous series of actions against the Seven Gods Church were too smooth, even crushing, causing Lu Yan inadvertently to develop a slight sense of disdain.

Little did he know, from the moment the stars realigned, the Seven Gods Church was already prepared, and at this last moment before the version update, they counterattacked fiercely.

As Lu Yan's thoughts raced, the anomalies in the sky changed once again.

With the complete illumination of the Seven Great Gods' divine emblems, Their divinity was firmly established in the starry sky.

But in the next second, an endless thunderstorm erupted without warning from the emblem representing the Storm God.

The storm was so violent, so terrifying, it seemed as though it would utterly destroy the entire world.

Billion-fold bolts of lightning, massive as mountains, mingled with hurricanes capable of tearing through space, in an instant swept across the skies above Oranck.

The vast expanse of stars and the outlines of those old-day carcasses, along with the newly solidified six divine shadows, were all obscured by the terrifying thunderstorm, as if the heavens themselves were being devoured by the wrath of the True Gods.

Subsequently, in the center of the boundless storm and thunder, a terrifying visage, colossal beyond description, composed purely of storm elements, gradually materialized.

That visage had no distinct facial features, only two eyes as deep as black holes and a giant mouth that opened and closed, breathing destructive thunder.

Its mere existence exuded a divine might potent enough to crush the entire world.

One of the Seven Great Gods, the Storm God who holds dominion over catastrophes and thunder, has descended!
