Chapter 340: Chapter 322 Triple Identity

The name of this Glenborough town is “Meteor,” and the total population is a mere five to six thousand people, yet they openly display great reverence for the Reforging Church, although everyone seems quite listless every day.

The use of machinery is very common in the town, with many townspeople having undergone mechanical modifications, even some of those who were originally hale would willingly amputate parts of their own bodies to replace with machinery.

Almost every year, the Reforging God would bestow new oracles upon the “Chief” of the Reforging Church, and these oracles contained new knowledge, which the chief, as the leader of the church, would then convey to the various bishops, who in turn would pass it on to the numerous Reforging Priests.

The knowledge contained within those oracles was extremely useful, and the priests of the Reforging Church never felt the need to keep it secret. Instead, the Chief would have the priests find ways to spread that knowledge and its corresponding applications as widely as possible.

It was for this reason that many lords and nobles welcomed them, so the spread of the Reforging Church accelerated, and what had been an unacknowledged heretical cult just a few decades ago was gradually catching up with the weakest among them, the Silver Moon Church.

After arriving at this town, Felix also came across much new knowledge, and his mechanical skills improved day by day.

He suddenly felt that joining the Reforging Church seemed to benefit those on the Path of Forging and the Path of Knowledge who were Consecution Extraordinary Exponents.

In his dreams at night, Felix would continuously assemble machinery, mastering more Power of Consecution.

As one of Bishop Isabel’s assistant priests, he began to take charge of helping her manage some affairs, but compared to the other two assistant priests, the matters Felix dealt with were always a bit more peripheral.

He never got access to some of the core secrets about Isabel herself.

However, not long after joining the Reforging Church, Isabel began to frequently speak of some… very strange things to Felix.

According to her, Felix could try to learn about and understand the knowledge of other religions; “learning” was highly encouraged by the Reforging Church, so he was completely free to study that heretical knowledge.

Isabel said with her arms crossed and in a cold voice,

“Go and learn more. With my approval, it won’t be a violation for you to delve into those heretical things.”

Then, Isabel took him to a basement beneath a large cathedral, where many heretical texts collected by the Reforging Church quickly came into Felix’s view.

“Alright, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Bishop Isabel.”

That night, Felix began studying the numerous texts here and came across a book called “Those Great Beings Beyond the World.”

“Those Great Beings Beyond the World” chronicled the known twenty-four otherworldly gods, each representing a moment, from zero to twenty-three hours, with each hour marked by a symbolic deity.

So that’s how it is, the Tranquility Songster, the Chaos Constellation, are all otherworldly gods…

Hmm, dreams also have their deity, the Eternal Nightmare Sovereign…

Felix took a deep breath and silently read through the names, not voicing them out loud, because right at the beginning of the book, there was a warning written in bold red letters.

“Do not speak Their names!”

Perhaps, just by speaking Their names, one might draw Their gaze…

The Lord of Ashes at zero hour, symbolizing chaos and destruction.

The Eternal Moon at one o’clock, representing feminine energy.

The Tranquility Songster at two o’clock, symbolizing death and silence.

The Eternal Nightmare Sovereign at three o’clock, representing the realm of dreams.

…

The last is the Fog of the White Beyond at twenty-three o’clock, symbolizing knowledge.

“Phew.”

When Felix had thoroughly finished reading the book, he felt a shiver run down his spine, as each of the otherworldly gods described in it seemed utterly terrifying.

According to the book, the powers possessed by the otherworldly gods might even be a tier stronger than those of the True Gods.

After some time, he gradually felt that there was something not quite right with Isabel.

One day, Isabel casually mentioned that the Chaos Constellation, the deity worshiped by the Stars Embrace Order, might also bring positive meanings, and a strong sense of unease grew inside Felix.

“Why would she say that?”

“What exactly is she hinting at?”

He pondered.

In the time that followed, Isabel often discussed matters related to the otherworldly gods with Felix, even voluntarily extolling Their grandeur.

She said coldly,
