Chapter 1196: The Period of Shocking Change

After killing Platini, Fei didn’t show himself on the continent. He didn’t even appear in the City of Iduna to create the illusion that he was still fighting with Platini and couldn’t do anything else.

That was how the Holy Church’s forces in the City of Allianz got fooled, and the Northern Region Empire claimed the city in a short time.

People like Johnson who Fei saved earlier were hidden cards, and they created a huge impact. Johnson and other supreme masters of the Eastern Region hid in the forests on Ruhr Mountains with their troops. With Fei’s godly power around them to achieve the perfect stealth, the goblins weren’t able to discover them and report back to Platini and his henchmen.

When the expeditionary troops of empires such as Everton and Sunderland arrived at the Strait of Naples, supreme masters including Johnson and Fellaini sneaked into the campsites and reported the situation to the various troops, easily making the empires change their attitude and jump ships.

With the alliance forces of the Eastern Region’s help, Strategist Aryang created a series of delicate plans, allowing the Northern Region Empire to strike the weakness of the Holy Church and obtain the victory.

Using the victorious momentum, the Northern Region Empire took control of the Strait of Naples and even counter invaded into the Central Region.

In two consecutive battles, the Northern Region Empire won with style and fashion.

At this moment, many people were still waiting for the result of the battle between the Human Emperor of the North and Deputy Pope Platini. They had no idea that this legendary Deputy Pope of the Holy Church had died about a month ago.

In the last month or so, Fei stayed in the Godly King Place in Sky City, trying to digest the fruit of that battle.

The biggest reward that Fei obtained was the pure Holy Power that belonged to Platini. The power that was close to peak level 8 Godly King Realm was insane! In terms of quality and quantity, this was the best energy that Fei had absorbed since he obtained control of the grand godly realm and the Scepter of Creation.

With the grand godly realm and the Scepter of Creation, Fei felt like he obtained one of the famous techniques in the traditional wuxia novels named the Star-Sucking Technique. By taking the cultivation strength of his opponents, Fei could obtain an endless amount of energy! It was an extremely efficient shortcut!

After spending a full month, Fei finally completely refined and absorbed Platini’s power, merging it with the grand godly realm.

At this moment, Fei’s degree of fusion with the grand godly realm had reached over 50 percent. In terms of individual combat strength, he was beyond level 9 Godly King Realm. He was approaching the top-tier level 10 Godly King Realm.

This was an unimaginable leap!

More importantly, this wasn’t the end of this cultivation for Fei.

After killing Platini, Fei also destroyed more than 20 goblin godly kings in the Goblin Realm, sucking their core energies into the grand godly realm. Right now, their core energies were hovering in the sky of the grand godly realm like many eye-piercing suns.

Although these masses of core energies weren’t as abundant and pure as that of Platini, they were godly-king-level core energies after all. They were precious resources in Fei’s eyes.

After another month, Fei refined and devoured these over 20 masses of core energies of goblin godly kings.

Now, Fei’s degree of fusion with the grand godly realm reached 56 percent, almost reaching peak level 10 Godly King Realm.

As long as the emperor could move forward one more step, he would reach peak level 10 Godly King Realm, meaning that one of his feet would be inside the Supreme God Realm.

After absorbing those masses of core energies, Fei didn’t hurry and end his cultivation.

The emperor started to consume the massive amount of power of faith that was coming to him from all over the continent. By transforming the power of faith, he strengthened the foundation between him and the grand godly realm. At the same time, he studied [Demon King’s Sword], trying to completely comprehend all the techniques and skills in it before creating the unique Martial Dao and Warrior Path for himself.

As the fame of the Northern Region Empire grew, Fei’s reputation on the continent reached an unimaginable level.

In this era full of tragedies and catastrophes, more and more civilians turned to believe Fei. Besides, Fei inherited a ton of power of faith from Pato and other masters who were turned into those 12 [Godly Warriors] after he purified them. Right now, Fei was wrapped in endless power of faith all the time.

The good thing was that the power of faith was invisible and intangible, and others couldn’t detect it. Otherwise, Fei couldn’t go anywhere.

At the same time, since rumors stated that internal conflicts were taking place at the headquarters of the Holy Church, Fei ordered the Northern Region Empire to stop attacking it.

That prophecy about the destruction of the world had been weighing on Fei’s mind for a long time now.

In fact, the goblins and the Holy Church weren’t the most terrifying enemies in Fei’s eyes.

The real enemies were those world-destroying devils who were sleeping somewhere. The legends and prophecies said that these devils treated the Azeroth Continent as a farm and a hunting ground. It was hard to say when these devils were going to wake up. The last Mythical Era was destroyed by these outlanders, and the Human Era probably couldn’t escape the same tragic fate.

With this external factor being present, Fei didn’t want a full-on internal war among humans.

Although the Holy Church was at the disadvantage, it was still powerful with many hidden cards. As the saying goes, a camel that died of hunger is still bigger than a horse.

If the Northern Region Empire wanted to destroy this giant force, they would have to pay an exorbitant price. In the end, the Northern Region Empire would be weakened after the war, and the overall strength of humans would be greatly reduced, unable to defend against those devils from another dimension who were hiding in the dark and staring at Azeroth with preying eyes.

Therefore, when the news about the internal conflicts in the Holy Church got out, Fei stopped all military operations against it. He didn’t want to pressure the Holy Church too much and make the fragmented internal forces unite again.

The best-case scenario would be a new force outcompeting the older shrines in the Holy Church. That way, the Northern Region Empire would be able to negotiate with the Holy Church.

Fei sat in his godly palace and watched the situation on the continent to develop further.

Just like this, about half a year passed with not much happening.

In this half a year, the goblins in the Southern Region were finally wiped out. These murderous creatures were killed off by angry humans. The more than 100 million goblins were forced to jump into the Sea of Mist to the south of the Southern Region, being killed and turned into dust.

The only drawback was that the human troops didn’t discover the legendary Goblin Realm, so they couldn’t be sure if more goblins were hiding in there.

The Southern Region returned to the embrace of humans.

The Northern Region Empire took the leadership position in this operation, and the ten Gold Saints including Robbin, Drogba, Pierce, Oleg, Dessler, and Jessie showed their strength as demi-gods and established themselves as supreme masters.

Before this, they were locked inside Sky City by Fei for an entire year. With the mystical boost coming from this miraculous city and other supporting methods, they were able to achieve many breakthroughs and experience many increases in their strength. Now, they were worthy of the title [The Most Powerful Golden Warriors Under the Human Emperor of the North’s Command].

All the efforts and energy that Fei poured into them weren’t wasted.

Except for Elf King Akinfeev who was still hiding in the dark, the other 11 Gold Saints all became supreme masters who were in the spotlight.

The Southern Region was re-divided.

The Northern Region Empire got the most benefits. Then, the other empires and forces such as the Elf Clan and the Dwarf-Gnome Alliance that helped in the war against the goblins were all rewarded.

Of course, the Holy Church, Juventus, and Barcelona weren’t included.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

It seemed like humans who experienced a massive race-ending catastrophe got through the tough times.

At this moment, a piece of shocking news came from Sicily Island, the headquarters of the Holy Church.
