Ch 332: Body Rank
Chen Wen only remembered that such a person existed; he didn’t remember his appearance, so he didn’t question his looks.
Beli said, “After my death, my soul was guided to this world. When I woke up again, I had already become this body. Originally, I could have become a Cultist, learned some Magic, and become a Superior Being here, but because I failed to complete the task, I can only start as a Cult Slave and undergo the Immaculate True God’s Trial again.”
“A soul guided here? A Cult Slave?” Chen Wen was completely bewildered.
Beli explained it again.
Apparently, when he was in Spari Duchy, the Bishop of the Immaculate God Sect had told him that by believing in the Immaculate True God, he would be guided to Heaven after death. Later, after he was interrogated by them, he woke up again and found himself in this world.
It was just not quite like the Heaven he had imagined, and because he had not completed his task, he could only start as a Cult Slave and undergo the God’s Trial again.
Is there really such a thing as guiding souls?
Chen Wen turned to the other few people and asked, “Did you also come from Aaron?”
Several people nodded.
“Are you all believers of the Immaculate God Sect?”
Several people shook their heads: “No!”
Beli explained, “They are people who died from the Disease. As long as people are infected with the Disease, their souls will come to this world after death, and then the Cultists will place their souls in prepared bodies, making them Cult Slaves to undergo the Immaculate True God’s Trial.”
“Wait! The souls of those who died from the Disease at that time all came to this world?” Chen Wen asked.
Beli nodded: “That should be the case, at least these few are like that. The Bishop said long ago that it wasn’t a Disease; it was a ticket to Heaven.”
“This is Heaven?” Chen Wen asked back.
Beli: …
Obviously, the environment here was much worse than in the original world, and the living conditions were even worse.
“Are your current bodies the ones created in the Black Pool?” Chen Wen asked.
“Yes!”
No wonder they could live in this world; it turned out that their bodies were also manufactured.
The Immaculate God Sect possesses the ability to transfer consciousness; consciousness can also be said to be the soul. Placing the souls of the dead in new bodies is understandable, but moving a person’s soul from one world to another is a bit inconceivable.
Is there really a God in this world?
The God of Molten Rock in the Western Continent is a volcano, and the God of Light of the Church of Light is a Light Sphere.
This Immaculate True God wouldn’t be some strange thing, would it!
Does it really have the ability to preserve and transfer souls?
When they started researching Potions, the Virus infection had already spread to many places. Even if they had developed the Potions, it would take time to fully implement them, and many people still died because of it.
In other words, the Immaculate God Sect now controls the souls of many people. As long as they want, they can create many Experts?
That shouldn’t be the case. If that were the case, they wouldn’t have been blocked in Adal by the Church of Light for so many years.
“How much do you know about the Immaculate God Sect’s creation of bodies?” Although he thought they probably wouldn’t know much, Chen Wen still tried to ask.
Beli stammered, “We will tell you everything we know. Can you please not kill us? We are very weak, have no Combat Strength, and will not threaten you.”
Chen Wen pondered for a while. When they fought with the Immaculate Sect Members earlier, these people were just hiding in the house. When Second Brother wanted to kill them, they couldn’t even resist. The fact that they have no Combat Strength should be true.
“Okay! Tell me everything you know, and I won’t kill you.” Chen Wen said.
Hearing Chen Wen’s assurance that he wouldn’t kill them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell him what they knew in a jumbled manner.
They had been Cult Slaves for several years, and their job was to take care of the bodies in the Black Pool.
Although they didn’t know exactly how these bodies were made, their understanding of these bodies was no less than that of ordinary Cultists.
After these bodies were put into the Black Pool, various Materials needed to be added regularly, and they needed careful care.
Because before they were fished out, the Quality of these bodies was completely unknown, so they couldn’t be careless at all. They had to be cared for with the highest Standard.
These bodies would eventually have different Qualities. The higher the Quality, the faster they would learn Magic, and they might even retain some of their original Strength, so they wouldn’t have to start from scratch.
The highest-Quality bodies were naturally prepared for the Apostles.
The second level was for the Divine Guard, followed by High-Rank Divine Servants, Mid-Rank Divine Servants, Low-Rank Divine Servants, and the worst Quality were basically some underdeveloped ones, prepared for them, the Cult Slaves.
The worst-Quality bodies were not only weak due to underdevelopment but also unable to learn Magic.
If the Cult Slaves performed well, they could be given better bodies, which would not only make them stronger but also allow them to learn Magic, become Cultists, live the life of a Superior Being, and not have to do dirty and tiring work anymore.
“Are there Cult Slaves who have changed to better bodies and become Cultists?” Chen Wen asked.
He guessed that this was probably a tactic of the Immaculate God Sect to control resources, using this tactic to make the people below work hard and tirelessly, and even enjoy it.
“Although rare, there are indeed some who have become Cultists.” Beli said.
This is also why they believe in the Immaculate God Sect.
Chen Wen secretly thought, “As expected,” but these were the Immaculate God Sect’s matters, and he didn’t bother to care.
“What is the approximate ratio of high-Quality to low-Quality output?” Chen Wen asked.
“The highest-Quality bodies have a probability of less than one in ten thousand. The second-level Divine Guard-level is one in two to three thousand. The third-level High-Rank Divine Servant-level is about one in a thousand. The fourth-level Mid-Rank Divine Servant-level is a few hundredths, the fifth-level Low-Rank Divine Servant-level is a few tenths, and it’s common for a whole pool to be filled with Cult Slave-level bodies.”
The Immaculate God Sect’s limitation in mass-producing Experts is the Quality of the bodies. High-Quality bodies are difficult to produce, so they are all internally decided by the existing High-Ranking Officials, making it difficult to cultiWatay Experts in large numbers.
While they were talking, Rudolph’s side had already salvaged all the bodies from the Black Pool.
Chen Wen had a dragon take these few people, then left the Outpost with Rudolph and the others.
Before leaving, as usual, they launched several ‘Holy Judgments’ at the Outpost.
They continued to other Outposts.
Chen Wen knew that there were Cult Slaves in each Outpost, so he didn’t directly attack them. Instead, he lured the Cultists out to fight and then took the Cult Slaves away.
These people were not Immaculate Sect Members; he needed manpower here.
After clearing several Outposts, they took the mutated bodies to Rudolph’s own Black Pool and released them, then returned to the vicinity of Luo Ka Village.
…………
The Immaculate God Sect was already very upset about the destruction of one Outpost earlier, and because of this, they increased their attacks on the Church of Light.
This time, the destruction of so many Outposts directly alarmed the Apostles.
An Apostle looked at the destroyed Outpost.
The Black Pool was already dry, and even the Spring had been blocked.
Several hundred-meter-long black marks on the ground were very familiar to him; they were the Traces left by the Church of Light’s ‘Holy Judgment’.
“Report to the Apostle, no survivors were found.” A Cultist stepped forward and said.
Let alone survivors, there wasn’t even anything human-shaped.
Under the ‘Holy Judgment’, even rocks would be melted, let alone people.
The Apostle responded coldly and turned to leave.
“Apostle, the next Outpost is in this direction.” A Cultist reminded him.
“No need to go!”
The Cultist was stunned, then heard the Apostle say, “Notify Aaron to destroy several Churches of the Church of Light.”
“Yes!” The Cultist responded.
