"Boom!!!"
In the next moment, raging hellfire ignited around Fang Heng’s body!
The terrifying hellfire instantly burned the enormous plant hand gripping him into ashes.
Eli only felt a wave of intense pain and instinctively withdrew his hand.
But it was already too late.
The hellfire rapidly burned along his arm and spread toward his body!
"Whoosh!!"
Eli’s pupils contracted.
Fang Heng’s figure vanished in an instant, then reappeared right in front of him.
"You probably didn’t know this, but I’d already been to hell several times."
"Boom!!"
Eli’s entire body was completely swallowed by hellfire.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, the ground shook violently. The stone spire emitted a violent buzzing sound, then exploded with a thunderous crash!
The remaining tribesmen on the island stood frozen in place, their eyes seeming to regain some clarity as they all stopped attacking.
Was it over?
Fang Heng looked toward the shattered remains of the stone spire on the ground.
Among the broken stones, a dark-gold energy body was revealed.
divine authority?
Fang Heng walked forward and picked up the energy body from the ground.
[Hint: The player obtained divine authority (mid-tier)*1.]
[Hint: The player must return to Sea God Island and hand over the divine authority to complete the mission.]
...
Outside Whispering Island.
The people aboard the ship heard the explosive sound coming from the island in the distance, and when they saw the entire Whispering Island tremble faintly, they all grew tense.
It looked like Fang Heng’s side had already entered combat.
Things were progressing a little too quickly.
Still, that was a good thing.
With Fang Heng’s ability, as long as he was not affected by the whispers of Whispering Island, there should not be any problem, right?
...
Center of Whispering Island.
No one knew who started it, but the awakened Yake tribesmen all threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Boss Fang..." Cao Ge had also received the mission completion prompt. Seeing Fang Heng standing in place studying the divine authority, he carefully swallowed and walked over, speaking in a low voice. "Our mission’s complete."
"Mm."
Fang Heng gave a faint grunt and raised the divine authority in his hand.
"Have you seen this thing before?"
"No."
Cao Ge shook his head repeatedly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This should be divine authority, right?"
Fang Heng examined it with his senses.
The divine authority had no item description, so he did not know how to use it. But he could sense a mass of mixed energy within it, and a large portion of it contained the power of faith.
Meng Qingyu said, "Your Majesty, the mission is already complete. Should we return as soon as possible?"
"No rush."
Fang Heng glanced at the stone monument, then looked toward Muller.
"Go wake up the one in charge. I want to ask him a few things."
"Yes!"
Muller was already completely convinced by Fang Heng. He stepped forward, kicked aside the two unconscious Yake tribesmen on the ground, then grabbed the patriarch and threw him down in front of Fang Heng.
The patriarch kowtowed repeatedly, babbling something incomprehensible.
Fang Heng asked, "What’s he saying?"
"He says he was also deceived by the evil god and hopes you’ll spare them."
"Ask him what happened here."
Muller spoke with the tribesmen for a while, then said, "He says they were originally the Yake Tribe garrison stationed on Whispering Island. By chance, they sensed divine revelation on this island."
"It was Priest Eli who persuaded most of the tribe to believe in this unknown Sea God. Relying on the power granted by the Sea God, Eli gradually eliminated the opposition on the island and slowly seized control of the entire garrison. After that, he openly rebelled against the Empire and used divine power to attack passing merchant ships and warships."
"So they didn’t know where this god came from either?"
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked again at the shattered stone spire all over the ground.
"And what was with that stone monument?"
Muller spoke with the elder for quite some time before explaining, "They also do not know where the god came from. They believed a god was simply a god, and that it had always existed on this island, only never discovered before."
"As for that stone monument, they called it the God’s Monument. Eli believed it was a tool for receiving revelation and listening to divine oracles. After that, he built an altar here and stationed guards around it."
Fang Heng frowned as he listened. He took out the divine authority in his hand and inspected it several more times, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
At the very least, he could now confirm that divine authority did not possess independent consciousness.
Meng Qingyu noticed the change in his expression and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think there’s still something strange about this matter?"
"Eli was nothing more than someone who had been deceived. Even after receiving divine power infusion, he was still weak. What truly strikes me as strange is divine authority itself. Where exactly did divine authority come from?"
As Fang Heng spoke, his gaze shifted again to the Yake tribesmen still kowtowing nonstop, and he muttered to himself, "What exactly is this god... and what was its purpose in controlling these people..."
[Hint: You felt puzzled by what happened on Whispering Island. Your perception has reached 300. The player team triggered hidden mission-Unknown God.]
Mission name: Unknown God.
Mission difficulty: S.
Mission description: On Whispering Island, you defeated the Yake priest who had been deceived by a false god. You became curious about the existence of this false god.
Mission requirement: Search for traces of the false god.
Just as expected!
There was still a follow-up mission.
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
Too bad Eli was already dead; they could have directly forced the exact information out of him.
Cao Ge and the others were also stunned when they saw the game prompt trigger; then they all turned to look at Fang Heng.
A hidden mission that required perception over 300 to trigger?
But they were pressed for time.
Should they give up the mission?
Still, the mission description did not specify a mission location. It was possible the clue was not even on the island.
Fang Heng closed his eyes again and spread out his Perception across the entire island, attempting to search for any clues on Whispering Island that they might have missed.
"Heh, found it."
A moment later, Fang Heng opened his eyes, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips. He jerked his chin toward the patriarch.
"Bring him. Come with me."
The others exchanged glances, then brought the tribal elder along and followed Fang Heng out of the small town, walking toward a low hill behind it.
...
Before long, the group entered a cavern beneath a small hill behind the town.
The cavern looked like a ritual site. It was not large and was arranged with various ritual tools.
"Ask him what this place is."
Muller muttered a few more words with the elder, then answered, "The elder says this is a Land of Prayer. Eli personally established it after sensing the god’s summons. There are many such Lands of Prayer on the island. Normally, many tribesmen choose different Lands of Prayer to make offerings to the god. This one is in a remote location, so fewer people usually come here."
"Heh..."
A mocking smile curled across Fang Heng’s lips. He stepped forward, stopped before a wall, and suddenly threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The wall exploded apart before them, revealing a passage leading deeper inside.
