Chapter 1640: 981: Epilogue

The rampage time of the Sain Dungeon was about to reach its end. This restriction was extremely fair; even Gong Qiying had no way to trade spiritual power for an extension of the rampage duration, and could only obediently abide by it.

But before the final moment arrived, he still had a few things he could do.

Anyway, he’d already spent the spiritual power needed to summon the Sunlight King • Gwyn, so he might as well fully enjoy this rare experience. After all, it probably wouldn’t be easy to see Gwyn again next time.

Right now, along with Viskasa’s demise, the black clouds that had covered all of Scameroon because of him were gradually dispersing; the area above the Capital had been completely cleared of clouds thanks to the battle just now.

Gong Qiying glanced at the adventurers. In that intense fight just now, although they’d been protected, they were also blown away by the shockwaves, rolling gods-know-how-many times across the ground; at this moment they were all lying flat on the ground, honestly playing dead.

Even so, the Starfire Knights still raised the Image Stone again with the toughest of willpower, pointing it at Gwyn. What an admirable resolve; thanks to their persistence, the people of the entire continent could still watch what was happening here.

Gong Qiying really had to thank this group of Starfire Knights for the free publicity.

And so, Gwyn raised his Great Sword toward the sky that was gradually breaking into dawn. Blazing flames surged up, and in an instant swept across the heavens in scarlet.

After that, the sky of Scameroon was completely shrouded in rolling fire. All ominous black clouds were burned away in the flames, and the light of the Sun was able to shine upon the land once more.

This kind of Miracle, covering an entire mid-sized nation, could be clearly seen even by those living in the regions around Scameroon. Every viewer was moved and shocked by it, and even.....began to worship.

Even people who had never seen any footage and knew nothing about the Sain Dungeon, upon witnessing such a Miracle, would naturally think: some God had manifested!

Gong Qiying’s true purpose was to burn off Gwyn’s remaining power, while conveniently giving Sain another wave of promotional effect, so he casually added some extra fire to black clouds that were going to gradually disperse anyway.

However, the people living on this land didn’t know the truth.

In their eyes, this was—

"He helped us drive away the gloom in the sky! A Miracle, this is a Miracle!"

"I can feel His mercy from the flames in the sky..."

"How long has it been, how long since we last saw a God personally care for mortals with our own eyes?"

"I can die without regrets..."

The Scameroon locals who knew nothing at all actually reacted even more intensely to this act. They were moved to tears, babbling all sorts of pious nonsense, their voices for a time even drowning out the people of the Starfire Church.

Looks like, after Viskasa’s conditioning, Skamelon people only need to see a "Miracle" and they’ll immediately develop Faith toward whatever God pulled it off. Even the supposedly most devout believers change their Faith exceptionally fast.

Guess this is what it means to be handpicked by Viskasa?

Gong Qiying had precisely set his sights on this crowd’s crappy temperament, which was why he had Gwyn perform this sky-burning move that was, strictly speaking, kind of redundant.

On the other side, the believers of the Starfire Church had already gotten their fill from watching their Fire God Ge Wen’s series of heroic poses. Now, even seeing the flames covering the sky again, their completely exhausted energy could hardly support them making any more fuss.

Still, after this incident, their Faith had grown even deeper.

What else could he do next?

Viskasa was dead, the Evil God had fled, and the Demon Clan was also in retreat. Since they were running in such a scattered way, chasing them down one by one would basically be inefficient and not worth the trouble.

He himself wasn’t a professional religious fraud, so he had no idea what sort of actions would fit the identity of a God in a moment like this.

Gong Qiying swept his gaze over the ruins of the Capital. Although he wanted to show off a Miracle of rebuilding the city, Gwyn really couldn’t pull that off.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and scattered flames down toward the ground. The fire licked the ruins of the city, and in the end lifted up from the seemingly lifeless rubble hundreds upon thousands of survivors who had already fallen unconscious!

To others, this act was of course yet another vivid display of a God’s love for mortals.

But Gong Qiying was merely rescuing Todd and the other Mad Fire Believers; in this entire city, only they were still alive.

No, that’s not quite right—inside the Holy Light Church, those people who were hung up like roast ducks were also still alive by sheer luck. They themselves were strong enough, which was why Viskasa had chosen to drain their power.

For now he could just act as he pleased; the meaning behind each action would naturally be filled in by other people’s imaginations.

"How magnificent..."

Leon watched Gwyn’s series of actions and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

The people around him also nodded in agreement with all the right expressions, praising this whole sequence of Miracles they’d witnessed. Today’s experience would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime when they returned.

"This is the one I’ll be challenging next..."

Leon clenched his fists, the veins bulging around the Royal Artifact crest on the back of his hand. His mood right now was extremely complicated: on the one hand, he was thrilled that he was finally qualified to challenge Gwyn; on the other hand, he knew full well he absolutely couldn’t beat the guy.

Just from those attacks that Gwyn had blocked for them just now, he felt he wouldn’t be able to parry any of it. How was he supposed to stand against an opponent like that?

"There’s always a higher heaven above..."
