Chapter 214 - Chapter 214: Chapter 203: The Third Tier "Court Attendant" and the Overseas Base (2/2)

The early version of the steamship still had a wooden structure. The Lion clan’s shipyard hadn’t yet built an ironclad ship, but even so, the advanced nature of the steamship was already greatly demonstrated.

This steamboat belonged to the powerful Fischer family of the East Coast Province, and it could travel across the sea without the need for wind power, a gift from the Lion clan a year ago.

Soon, the steamboat arrived next to a small island and docked at the pier, where over ten thousand White Sea natives and several hundred soldiers of the Fischer family armed with flintlocks resided, among them ten Extraordinary Exponents.

This was a secret maritime base belonging to the Fischer family.

The increasingly aged Cyan Blue stood calmly by the sandy beach of the pier, ready to greet the arrival of the steamboat at the earliest opportunity.

Clad in a black robe and bearing a seven-tenths resemblance to Irene, Lilian disembarked from the boat with a tranquil expression, and Cyan Blue quickly approached, bowing respectfully, “We have awaited your arrival for a long time, my lord, and the people here will surely build the base according to the Fischer family’s wishes, while the supreme will of the Lord of the Lost will certainly shine on more people!”

Her voice was sincere, and Lilian nodded lightly.

After being imprisoned for a long time and subjected to Lilian’s various tortures and brainwashing, Cyan Blue had an epiphany and finally decided to convert, becoming even more devout than ordinary believers, ultimately a person of devout faith.

Because Lilian wanted to ascend to the 3rd Rank, she needed to create devout individuals to complete the ritual, so Cyan Blue’s transformation into a devout person had to be genuine, which naturally made Lilian feel the ebullition of spirituality.

She consumed the Shadow of the Lost supported by blood, passed through the Gate of Shadow, became a Proselyte, and stepped onto the God Pantheon stairway on the Path of Divine Sacrifice.

Feeling immense benefits, Cyan Blue was thrilled and became even more devout than before!

What about avenging her brother?

That man dared to offend the supremely exalted God’s Favored clan, the Fischer family; it was his rightful demise!

Hence, the Fischer family staged a fleeing drama, deliberately letting Cyan Blue return to the White Sea and then ordering her to infiltrate the Sea God Cult from within.

Meanwhile, they finally learned about the true state of the Sea God, knowing that the so-called Sea God was still in slumber, only occasionally awakening once every several years, and even during those brief periods, it couldn’t do much.

According to Cyan Blue’s initial account, the Sea God had been frequently in slumber because it was injured by the Tempest Overlord’s sneak attack, accumulating even stronger power like the cycles of the tide, destined to return in a more formidable form.

Of course, according to the Tempest Church, it was the Sea God that attempted to sneak attack the Tempest Overlord and was beaten severely, leading to its near-death slumber.

Byrne and the others felt that the perspective of the Tempest Church was probably the correct one.

The Sea God and Mighty Bloody Demon, these conceptual mystical existences, possessed immense power and could rival the terrifying Heavenly Enlightenment powerful experts when their true forms descended upon the world, yet they were definitely incomparable to the True Gods and it was no small feat for them to be worshiped by the natives.

“Goo goo goo?”

A cluster of silver-white liquid emerged from within Lilian’s clothes, a pair of beautiful small eyes peeking out timidly without fully showing, curious yet afraid.

That was a Spiritual Dragon still in its juvenile stage, possessing relatively weak strength.

“Don’t be afraid, everything is fine,” the icily Lilian extended her hand, comforting the young dragon with maternal warmth, as a doting smile surfaced on her face. Then she followed Cyan Blue into a huge cavern within the island.

“Clang clang clang!”

The sound of work was incessant.

The scene within the cave was staggering, with thousands of native laborers under the watchful eye of Fischer family soldiers, striving to construct an awe-inspiring black stone sculpture.

It would be a hundred-meter tall sculpture built to worship the great Lord of the Lost!

In the depths of Lilian’s heart lay a tremendous ambition, aspiring for the natives of the White Sea to cease worshiping the pitiable Sea God and instead revere the truly great being, the Lord of the Lost!

It would start with this island!

Cyan Blue took a deep breath and said calmly, “Those who resisted converting to the faith of the Lord of the Lost have all been captured. What does the master decide to do with them?”

Lilian’s expression remained tranquil as she said, “First, kill the most stubborn Sea God zealots. As for the rest, they can still be indoctrinated. If possible, I really dislike killing people.”

This was an isolated island far from the mainland, surrounded by no other islands, with all the ships under the complete control of the Fischer family.

This meant that this place was an absolute lawless land where they could do anything without any risk, with no possibility of accidents occurring.

“The Dawn Church will become the most powerful church in the world, and the Fischer family will be the most admired and revered family,”

“Let’s start with this island.”

Lilian’s eyes brimmed with passion and anticipation for the future, a fervent smile appearing on her face.

The nearly completed grand black cross sculpture stood erect there, as if it were a witness to time, emanating a solemn and majestic aura.

She knelt down.

Even without receiving any divine message, she could still feel distinctly that the idol held some purpose and significance for the great Lord of the Lost!
