Chapter 347
Today was an extraordinary day for Annottales.
The thick white fog had been appearing for three consecutive days.
In the past, there would always be saints who stepped forward to display great miracles, dispersing adverse weather like fog, rain, and clouds in front of people.
But the townsfolk waited for several days in a row, yet the fog didn't disperse, and there was no sign of any saints appearing.
The Dark Light Church had established a very strict hierarchical order, where most ordinary people had to live their whole lives within this order, without any possibility of change in their daily routines.
Although for Slave Serpentis and even lower-ranked sinners, this was undoubtedly a painful enslavement and exploitation.
But for people of slightly higher rank, it may not be a bad order.
In the world of this story, even though common people of Rank 7, such as humans and other races, are not allowed to enter high-class places and have to report their departure, they will never starve.
Even when they were extremely poor, they would still be assigned work by the church.
As long as they could reach Rank Six, all medical expenses, whether for major or minor illnesses, would be fully reimbursed. Education and housing expenses would also be greatly reduced, ensuring a lifetime of worry-free livelihood.
As for where Ranks come from, in fact, there are very clear and detailed records in the scriptures of the Dark Light Church.
In a time long ago, around ten thousand years ago, Noah's ancestors from various races and the sinners who worshipped the Outer God became enemies, leading to a never-ending war that spanned across multiple worlds.
The Savior of Dark Light took the lead in establishing an alliance, making a pre-war oath with the top leaders of each race. They promised to establish a new world order based on "Ranks" after the war.
All devoted followers who believe in Him are destined to have high Ranks. Additionally, the races that contribute to the war will also be ranked according to the level of their contributions.
And the races who had made no contributions or even rebelled against the enemy, their descendants were all enslaved.
The duration of the covenant was ten thousand years.
After ten thousand years, He also promised to reestablish the "Ranks."
Actually, long ago in the early days of civilization, Noah's world was mostly a semi-primitive society characterized by slavery.
The extraordinary ones were all masters of their own domain, while ordinary people were undeniably slaves, and the concept of commoners simply didn't exist.
Like the situation of "extraordinary individuals protecting ordinary people" in modern society, it is completely unbelievable and a far-fetched tale!
The abolition of the slave society where the power of extraordinary individuals reigns and the transformation of a large population into citizens who neither have masters nor slaves, this action was pioneered by the Savior of Dark Light.
And so, people felt grateful for his kindness and started calling him "the Savior."
The Heart of Radiance suggested that ordinary people should be protected by extraordinary individuals, and thus the Dark Light Church was established. The Savior of Dark Light chose a group of saints, who were then tasked with protecting the mortal beings through divine messages.
The scriptures record that the Savior of Dark Light has a fiery temperament and initially had no intention of allowing sinners to continue existing. However, after being persuaded by the divine beings, the Heart of Radiance and the Steel Throne, for three days and three nights, he finally relented.
He decided to let their descendants become the lowest class of people, serving their sentence for thousands of years.
In the blink of an eye, over nine thousand years had passed.
In the Kingdom of Dark Light, under the protection of the Savior, despite facing many challenges, the people who lived here always had a better life compared to the sinners living in the wilderness.
In the Kingdom of Dark Light, the cities were not isolated but connected as one, and there were even countryside areas.
For example, the Scarlet Moon was just a simple village girl.
Because, the Savior of Dark Light's divine power can ward off natural disasters.
However, even so, there were still many people who left the Kingdom of Dark Light for various reasons.
They willingly left the order and protection of the Savior, crossing the Fantasy Sea to the wilderness on both sides, where they built a new kingdom.
Among the hundreds of immigrants, only two groups managed to settle down in foreign lands. To the east, it was the Air Alliance, and without a doubt, to the west, it was the Night Union.
The city of Annottales was built by the Savior of Dark Light himself. Although it had been attacked a few times, overall, the people living here spent most of their time in peaceful days.
Compared to external threats, it was the inevitable corruption, exploitation, and wealth disparity within that made the people in this city gradually unable to carry on.
However, it seemed that the Savior of Dark Light was completely unaware of these matters.
Or perhaps, for the Rainbows, solving these problems was not their responsibility... They couldn't possibly handle every little thing that happened on their own.
The people of Annottales continued to walk along the streets, just as they always did.
Even in the vast mist and narrow vision, the people who have to go to work still need to toil.
"Snap."
Suddenly, everyone in the city heard a strange sound.
As if someone was clapping.
It was strange, yet faint. Many people thought they had simply misheard.
At first, people didn't think much of it, unsure of what the sound represented. But soon... something unusual happened!
"Hmm, strange, why am I walking here? I should be going to another street."
"Where am I? How did I get lost? I've been walking along this road for decades!"
"Just now, my carriage was clearly in the third district! How is this the seventh district? How is this possible!"
"Across from my house... How could it suddenly turn into a place where poor people live?"
"The Temple of Dark Light! Oh, my Savior! How did I end up at the entrance of the Temple of Dark Light!"
A peculiar ritual quietly began.
In just a moment, the entire Annottales transformed into a peculiar Lost City.
And the white fog that lasted for several hours was undoubtedly the prelude to this ritual.
While people remained in awe, they suddenly noticed that the scenery before them changed once again, and they found themselves transported to a different place once more.
Annottales was like a Rubik's Cube in the hands of a mischievous child, constantly being twisted and turned. The geographical locations of every street would change almost every minute.
Perhaps in the place before your eyes, it was a slum in the Fifteenth District just a second ago, but in the next second, it had already transformed into the towering and majestic Temple of Dark Light.
Just at that moment, an unstoppable white light burst forth on a street in the slums with a tremendous force!
A beam of white light that reached the sky, resembling a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.
The power was incredibly astonishing!
Those extraordinary beings above the Crown level in Annottales immediately sensed a terrifying "aura".
That was a winter as cold and harsh as ice, capable of causing all things to wither away.
The person who unleashed the white light undoubtedly was the leader of Dead Silence, Silence.
And at this moment, she was preparing for the Ritual of Tranquility!
The Dark Light Church had long known that Dead Silence intended to sacrifice the entire city to an Outer God... the Peaceful Songstress!
"Broken."
Suddenly, an old voice appeared in the ears of everyone in the city. All people immediately realized that the old man in black clothes was now standing beside the white beam of light.
Incarnation of Dark Light! Divine Executor! The holiest of saints among saints!
He spoke just one word, and the white beam of light that connected heaven and earth immediately dispersed. The upper-ranked Apocalypse's silence overwhelmed her; her power was completely unable to contend with this old man!
Everyone felt relieved!
Yes, how could there possibly be a 'person' who could defeat him?
Under the Rainbow, Noah was the mightiest being in the world of extraordinary powers!
Once, with his own strength, he repelled the invasion from other worlds, reaching the pinnacle of power by successfully eliminating ten Apocalypse beings in a single battle!
Emerging God!
Just then, a white-clad girl appeared in the sky, her face obscured and unreadable to anyone.
The girl in white clothes was not just anyone.
She is the leader of the Dead Silence, the most notorious cult leader in Noah's world, and the host of the Ritual of Tranquility.
Silence.
Many people would be astonished to see that this infamous being of terror, in appearance, was merely a young girl.
However, it is not unreasonable for beings at this level to possess eternal youth and beauty.
She tossed something very peculiar from her hand, which even the black-robed old man known as the Divine Executor couldn't help but be moved by.
"You used to possess a Ruin-level Relic…"
The old man in black clothes immediately understood.
Perhaps this is the reason why the white mist could never be dispelled.
Silence, who never spoke, remained silent.
He never answered.
She threw out an object, a white scroll, which was a Ruin-level Relic corresponding to the intangible dimensional traveler from the Outer God.
Noah's world is like the lowest level in a universe with many layers. All the relics, in theory, will eventually "sink" to this place.
And lo, in a world, not one, not two, but three Ruin-level Relics appeared!
The blank scroll suddenly unraveled.
In the next moment, the old man in black clothes and the girl in white vanished without a trace.
They seemed as if they had never appeared before.
However, just as the shattered pillar of white light disappeared, it reappeared once again, piercing through the sky!
The Ritual of Tranquility continues!
