Chapter 908: Chapter 437 Faith Collapse_3
Indeed, at this moment, the right lower edge of the round, fierce sun above had started to display a black notch, which was rapidly enlarging as time went on.
The congregation of believers instantly fell silent, each person devoutly praying as if on a pilgrimage while gazing at the sun.
After waiting for almost half an hour like this, the sun had been consumed by darkness for two-thirds, and the once-bright desert visibly darkened before their eyes, the temperature quickly dropping, while whirlwinds began to rise from the sandy ground.
Another nearly twenty minutes passed, and the last trace of sunlight was finally engulfed by the shadow, leaving only a faint blue halo in the sky.
The entirety of Red Cliff beneath was completely darkened at this moment, resembling the twilight before nightfall, and a group of cats, spooked by this abnormal celestial phenomenon, scampered all over the place, hastily grabbed and held by the flustered crowd.
"Lord Bishop, we may begin now!"
Following a believer’s prompt, the others couldn’t wait and turned their eager eyes toward Mu You.
The solar eclipse would only last a few minutes. They had to open the portal to the God Realm within this time, or else they would have to wait another month.
Mu You nodded, then took the Tattered Oil Lamp from his waist.
As soon as the oil lamp was in his hand, it automatically lit up a flame in the surrounding darkness.
This seemingly insignificant flame now appeared like a mini-sun, casting a dazzling radiance that directly shone on Red Cliff ahead.
The blood-red cliff once again began to display a mirage-like scene.
The scene still showed the lush greenery of the Oasis from last time, but this time, after a brief fluctuation, it quickly stabilized and solidified from its ephemeral state.
About a minute later, the entire cliff face quietly vanished, and on the empty sandy ground ahead, an entrance stretching tens of miles appeared. From everyone’s perspective, it was filled with lush vegetation and green mountains and waters.
The scene was immediately filled with jubilant cheers: Truly worthy of the Miracle God Lamp, it indeed successfully opened the portal to the God Realm!
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, a thunderous laughter resounded from within the entrance, hearing in everyone’s ears and instantly silencing the crowd.
"Thousand years have passed, and I, Caesar, am finally free!"
Hearing the voice claim to be Caesar, the congregation was startled, all of them quickly kneeling; some believers were so devout they nearly went prone.
Meanwhile, within the Oasis on the other side, a figure quietly appeared near the exit. His form rapidly grew, transforming in the blink of an eye into a forty-meter-tall titan with a ghostly blue complexion.
Looking through the curtain-like entrance, Caesar could already see the group of people kneeling in the sandy land opposite, and was quite satisfied with the nod of his head.
He naturally knew these were the believers he had encountered a few days ago. At the time, he had merely casually mentioned seeking the Divine Lamp, holding little hope. Yet, to his surprise, these people had the capability to open the portal in just a few days!
Caesar’s spirits lifted: Since they could open the portal to the God Realm, it meant that the Divine Lamp must certainly be in their possession this moment!
Oh, the Divine Lamp he had craved for a thousand years!
Thinking this, Caesar stifled his elation and hurriedly moved his titanic body in great strides forward, anyhow first securing the most crucial Divine Artifact at hand.
However, just as he approached the exit, before he could even step out, he suddenly heard a faint meow.
This made his body tremble violently. There were no cats in the God Realm, and it had been too long since he had last heard such a sound. Yet hearing it now suddenly brought back that deep-seated psychological shadow from the depths of his soul.
"Meow... Meow... "
Before Caesar could react, more meowing ensued.
Caesar looked up in terror to see a dense mass of cats pouring into the entrance, rushing toward him as if they had spotted some exquisite delicacy, swiftly scaling his enormous body without fear, scratching and clawing all over him.
"Ah!"
The next second, a deafening scream erupted.
Caesar, like a woman with rats crawling over her, let out a piercing scream, his body trembling like a sieve; he hastily retreated backwards but accidentally tripped over a row of large trees behind him, losing his balance, and his gigantic body crashed to the ground thunderously.
The fallen Caesar, still unable to calm himself, continued screaming, flailing his limbs wildly as he rolled and crawled backwards, fleeing deeper into the Oasis before he finally stopped.
This bizarre spectacle completely dumbfounded the group of believers outside.
What was this situation?
Could the rumors that Caesar feared cats be true?
Yet, even if he feared cats, would he really be this cowardly?
Just witnessing Caesar’s first appearance had already caused many believers to start losing their faith...
"Damn it! Who did this?"
As everyone was bewildered, from deep within the oasis, where Caesar had just vanished, suddenly came another angry roar.
Caesar had finally driven away the cats scurrying over his body, and the titan’s figure stood up once more. After collecting his thoughts, immense anger followed.
Caesar strode back toward the exit and with a leap, landed right in front of it, causing the surrounding ground to shake violently.
Seeing the titan covered in bulging veins, the outsiders, a group of believers, had already been scared out of their wits. They huddled on the ground, shivering uncontrollably, daring not to move.
Caesar glanced over the crowd and grabbed the person at the very front, lifting him up to his eyes.
"Lord Caesar, spare me, we are your loyal followers..." the unfortunate one quickly pleaded for mercy.
"Who brought cats here?"
The giant’s roar at close range made the man dizzy, nearly causing him to faint, but he quickly mustered his spirit and replied, "It was Lord Bishop. Lord Bishop said that you love cats the most, said you are a heavy cat slave, and asked us all to prepare a cat. That’s why we..."
"Lord Bishop?"
"He is your chosen spokesperson..."
"Where is he!" Caesar asked, gritting his teeth.
"I don’t know..."
The man quickly looked down but couldn’t find Mu You’s figure; "Strange, he was here just a moment ago and then suddenly disappeared..."
"And the Divine Lamp?" Caesar, now pressed for time, continued hastily inquiring about the most important Divine Lamp.
"The Divine Lamp... is, in Lord Bishop’s hands..."
"What?"
"The Divine Lamp was brought by Lord Bishop, and just now it was Lord Bishop who was in charge of opening the entrance..." the believer hurriedly explained.
"Damn it!"
Caesar glared, roaring out once again as he realized he had been deceived.
As he squeezed his hand, the believer he was clutching didn’t even have time to scream before he was crushed into a meat patty.
Caesar casually threw him aside, then suddenly raised both hands high, and in a chanting tone, yelled out, "Awaken, my warriors!"
With his voice, the soil in the Oasis began to shift. Soon, hands emerged from the ground, followed by arms, heads, and bodies...
In the stunned eyes of the believers, countless undead soldiers crawled out, each holding a standard knife and shield. They lined up in formation on the ground, their synchronized marching sound echoing within the God Realm.
Caesar looked up at the sky. The solar eclipse had ended, and the obscured edge of the sun had started to emit strands of light, while, with the appearance of sunlight, the exit in front of them was beginning to blur.
"All warriors, heed my command! Tear down this barrier completely!" Caesar coldly ordered.
A thousand years ago, he lacked experience and was trapped here by the Lamp God. During those thousand years, he had come to understand the mechanisms of this barrier thoroughly. He would not give his opponent a second chance to seal him again.
Following his command, all the undead soldiers immediately began to charge, orderly rushing to the vicinity of the exit and surrounding it inside and out. They then started to attack the barrier in turns.
Under their assault, the exit, which was initially shrinking, instead gradually expanded outward.
The entire oasis became clearly exposed in the middle of the desert.
