“But this is also a good thing. The Abyss Missionary Cult may indeed help me accomplish the task. I just hope they don’t dispose of me as the Abyss Will after everything is done,” Qin Muye didn’t feel offended or anything, instead, he was quite happy.

“It’s fortunate that the Abyss Demon Net sandbox is operational. Otherwise, if they actually faced the Magic Network directly, I’m afraid each one could have gone even more insane.”

“Another thing is that we need to figure out why the Divines are gearing up for war. They wouldn’t do so on such a large scale for no reason. If the concept of Divine Position can truly be expanded, then this behavior of the Divines is undoubtedly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.”

“Alright, I think I know what they are up to.” Qin Muye glanced at the exchange records and noticed that they exchanged for many books that are not from this world, mostly those of a dragon-slaying and reformist nature, involving the blood and fire of the grassroots approach.

“Things have gotten bloody. How do you feel?” Qin Muye asked the War God, who seemed a bit perplexed and didn’t understand what Qin Muye was talking about.

“It seems it’s not shocking enough, after all, it’s only a small part.”

“But the problem is I never thought they would be so aggressive. I had assumed the approach would mainly be a gradual infiltration,” sighed Qin Muye, truly not expecting things to develop to this point.

“On the side of reason, it might not necessarily mean losing the ability to judge the situation, but it could lead to losing control over oneself, and even a radical change in personality. That can be considered an aftereffect of corruption.”

“If it’s possible to prompt a group of greedy Divines to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, then the enemy must indeed be powerful.”

“Therefore, I can only hope that possible archaeological relics might contain some mentions of this. Otherwise, we’ll have to catch a Divine with real power.”

“It’s just a bit too foolish. By doing this, it seems they’ve exposed their very foundation. However, it’s quite normal that their minds are a bit off, considering how these people have become somewhat insane due to the Abyss Power.”

“I can only hope you’ll live a bit longer, otherwise, if you all die off, I’ll have to organize another group. I find this Abyss Missionary Cult quite innovative,” Qin Muye mused.

“As long as the Abyss Missionary Cult truly gains a firm foothold, their status might well be turned upside down,” Qin Muye couldn’t help but smile.

But it doesn’t matter. The new-style Abyss Magic has already started to spread. There will be a harvest eventually, and Qin Muye will wait patiently.

However, whenever he thought about their lapse in reason, Qin Muye felt it was his fault, not that the Abyss Missionary Cult was foolish, because if you try to reason with a bunch of lunatics, they can drive you mad.

Unless the archaeology revealed something about a super-ancient civilization, which was not impossible. Just like the technology of becoming a divine shows there were corresponding avenues for advancement in ancient times. Similarly, the existence of Magic, though current Mages are just Priests in disguise, suggests the existence of such a concept and corresponding Divine.

But their real foolishness lay in declaring war through that Viscount and then using the Noble’s war to obliterate both the opposition and the accompanying Priests witnessing it, which was really too brazen.

Moreover, by genuinely cutting off belief, his Contribution shot up to 2.3%, indicating something capable of taking the lives of Divines was spreading.

It was indeed outward warfare. This part of history should have been erased, with no records in any Kingdom, and no rumors within the Divine Country at all, the secrecy was absolute.

Otherwise, such a high proportion of 2.3% would not be possible in such a small area.

Ultimately, it’s just that these people are too weak. If there could be a Level 6 Blasphemous Priest, then Qin Muye would be more convinced. But alas, there was only a Level 1 Blasphemous Priest, so the success rate was not high. Once the gods noticed something amiss, a devastating blow would surely follow.

His Spirit Monster spies also had plans in this regard, and they might bring something unexpected to Qin Muye at any moment.

Just like the Abyss Missionary Cult formed by the lower-class people. After being baptized by the Abyss Power, they at least became less ignorant and backward and started to think. However, their reasoning gradually aligned with the Abyss, so it was naturally impossible to maintain a normal state of mind.

In fact, Qin Muye knew that the War God was just part of the experiment, and so was the God of Etiquette, who was fundamentally a part of the noble warfare.

Qin Muye transforming an ignorant peasant who believed in gods into a person with flexible thinking and curiosity in mere minutes came at a cost, especially since the transformation was brutally abrupt, combined with the impacts and disparities in their original personalities, it would drive anyone insane.

Qin Muye couldn’t understand why the other party was doing this; it seemed utterly foolish.

Qin Muye quickly stored some of the newly developed Divine Power Weapon designs into the exchange list; that’s right, not the actual items, but the designs.

Qin Muye was no fool; his spies had infiltrated the Divine Countries of various divines, and the actions of those at the pinnacle of the pyramid, such as the Holy Light God, God of Power, and God of Fertility, were undoubtedly preparations for war, and it seemed that it was not a civil war they were preparing for.

If a war really did undergo changes, the God of Etiquette would also be affected; when rituals collapse and music is destroyed, that refers to this very situation.

The gods rise and fall on soul ownership rights.

Although he wouldn’t be afraid if it affected him, after all, there was a significant gap between the sides; he was beyond the Main Material Plane, so it was not possible for those people to come after him, as technology was not that advanced.

So it might look foolish, but this was a big step for them in changing the situation of the poor peasants and serfs.

He quite admired the madness of these people; at least they dared to try anything, and even though they might act foolishly, Qin Muye didn’t hold much hope for them.

They could’ve infiltrated through a Viscount, instead of using brute force.

The change behind the steady and steadfast style is the loss of rationality.

Whether it’s the desecration of priests by the Abyss Missionaries or the Weaving Magic by magicians, in essence, they are simply reemploying the power of chaotic Abyss. So… while it generally increases intelligence, it also diminishes rationality.

Neither the War God nor the God of Etiquette actually knew this; after all, their divinity was not as long-lived as those of Holy Light and Fertility, according to the divine conception of time, nor was the Magic God, who could only count as a young god among them, otherwise how could he be just a third-rate minor god like the War God.

The desecration priests utilized the soul ownership rights to steal Divine Power from the gods; of course, this was more fitting to call “theft” before things became so rampant, but now it’s different, because they did it overtly, so it turned into outright robbery.

It was also this infraction on rationality that led the Abyss Cult groups to act against the churches under Holy Light and Fertility and to prepare to incite an Earl.

Experiments that don’t change aren’t necessarily good; now, with this variable, Qin Muye could observe the entire Divine System more carefully.

Meddling in such things in an Extraordinary World, quite frankly, even Qin Muye felt a bit apprehensive; the situation could easily spread to him.

This was still normal; what was even more terrifying were the mages, directly facing the chaotic Abyss Magic to weave and shape it into an entirely new Magic System, which aside from being dangerous, had no other drawbacks—such as low energy consumption, great power, and ease of release, and so on.

This involved a population of several billion; the combined Abyss Cult did not even come close to the height of this plaything, so it was unlikely a matter of numbers, but rather a change brought about by some sort of ideology.

These two were not conflicting; rationality was one thing, intellect another. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Magic God seemed to be more about guarding against the revival of a true Magic System rather than being born out of the concept of magic itself.

This was quite normal, after all, expansion is such.

It’s just that, due to the ruler by the gods, it all lay buried within the sands of time, waiting to be unearthed at any moment.

Once the Abyss Cult learned how to use these designs, they could build Divine Power weapons, forcibly extract the power of divines through soul ownership rights, and use Divine Punishment against a god’s own followers; the thought alone was thrilling.

The gods could not revoke the soul ownership rights, even if they were a series of unequal contracts against their followers ensconced within. However, these contracts allowed the desecration priests to become parasites that fed on the gods, leaving them powerless to shake off these desecration priests who used the gods’ own power against them.

The Noble wars on the Main Material Plane strictly adhered to the various noble rules and etiquette, and as the God of Etiquette, he must’ve indeed faced direct impact just like the War God.
