Chapter 377: Chapter 357: Calamity of the Dead
Cyart had become a nation of the undead overnight.
Several cities were sacrificed in large rituals, resulting in the deaths of many, at least tens of thousands.
Then, the otherworldly gods descended!
The appearance of the Songster plunged the entire world into a terrifying tranquility, as countless undead burst out of their graves.
They began to torment the many living beings immediately.
All human settlements within Cyart were attacked, and the undead also advanced towards other countries outside Cyart.
Anyone killed by the undead became a new undead, so they spread like a plague.
Those undead who were resurrected mortals had no self-awareness and no intelligence, and their strength was hardly distinguishable from that of ordinary people.
However, the resurrected Extraordinary Exponents were a major problem.
Over the centuries, a large portion of the Extraordinary Exponents who had died on this land were resurrected, retaining much of their self and intelligence, but their memories and personalities were greatly altered, often becoming very aggressive.
The prolonged civil war in Cyart was thus interrupted, and people began to fight for survival, continuously resisting waves of undead.
Meanwhile, the main Churches of the True Gods also commanded the powerful exponents of the Ouden Continent to head to Cyart, striving to contain the disaster of the undead before the situation completely deteriorated.
However, for the Fischer family, compared to the disaster of the undead,
another matter instilled deeper fear in them!
That was…
The great Lord of the Lost had fallen asleep.
——
In a safe, secluded ancient villa in Fein City, the followers of the Dawn Church stared anxiously at the transparent bottle on the altar.
It was not a real sacred object, but a replica. Nowadays, many such transparent bottles spread across Cyart, and only the Blood Receivers of the Dawn Church would keep them close.
An elderly Blood Receiver murmured to himself,
“It has been ten years…”
“Yes, for ten whole years, the great Lord of the Lost has not responded to us.”
“What shall we do, how should we proceed?”
Their faces were etched with deep worry and confusion, the air was filled with a heavy and tense atmosphere, and everyone’s eyes sparkled with unease and expectations for an unknown future.
“Could it be that the great He needs us to save Him?”
“Do you believe that He is asleep?”
“Some say He has left us, just like the True Gods, but I will never believe that.”
The believers discussed in hushed yet urgent tones.
This was one of the branches of the Dawn Church, and the Priest of this branch of the Dawn Church was Madam Vanessa, a member deeply favored by God from the Fischer family.
She was the first Daybreaker of the Dawn Church, the original Daybreaker, held in high regard and prestige among the believers, and had become a devout person in recent years, thus qualifying to be a Priest.
Lilian is now the High Priest of the Dawn Church, and below her, including Vanessa, there are five other devout people serving as Priests within the entire Dawn Church.
According to rumors long circulating, believers knew that the lifespan of High Priest Lilian was running out, and she could leave at any time, and the appointment of the next High Priest of the Dawn Church has been pending.
Over three years, due to the rampant unleash of the undead disaster, people already suffering from the ravages of war craved faith more, and the Fischer family took this opportunity to absorb many new believers, swelling the number of believers to tens of thousands.
Furthermore, among the believers who joined the Dawn Church in the new decade, although all were Blood Receivers, a large part were mortals without access to Magic Potion.
A massive number of mortals suffered undeserved disasters during this calamity and sought salvation, absorbed by various secretive forces.
However, the actions of the Fischer family had also become more secretive.
In the last decade, numerous powerful Monarch experts from foreign lands, summoned by the Churches of the True Gods, came to the Eastern Four Kingdoms to suppress the disaster of the undead.
Before coming to the East, they had agreements with the Churches that they could not arbitrarily harm the locals but only respond to the call to aid in suppressing the undead, so for ten years the situation in the Eastern Four Kingdoms remained unaffected.
Thanks to these dozens of Monarch powerful experts brought by the Churches, the disaster of the undead had been greatly suppressed over ten years, and most undead were extinguished.
