Yesel gazed at the collapsed Divine Idol, trembling all over. He stood under the stone steps with his fists clenched tightly.

"How dare you," he said. His words were a little unintelligible, but then a violent sound echoed through the temple.

"How dare you blaspheme God!"

All the craftsmen who had escaped and the people who had built the temple were captured and brought back. They knelt before the lake, awaiting their miserable fate.

But all struggles and resistance were in vain before Yesel, who wore the crown of wisdom.

The leader of the craftsmen, who had himself killed the royal family, looked at the tall silhouette with the crown and said with a smile, "I did it for my own desires, and in the name of God."

"God is God, and you are you," Yesel replied, addressing the man.

"The Divine Idol was not destroyed by us," the craftsman leader said, opening his hands and facing the sky. "It was God's anger towards the King."

"Don’t you see it?" he continued. "God is unwilling to accept your faith, even if you build the highest temple and offer the most precious offerings. It won't stop God from being disgusted with you."

The craftsman leader knew his fate and spoke his grief and shouts towards the descendant of the Ledley.

"Perhaps each of us is born with original sin," he said. "God expelled us from his Paradise because of our desires, killings, and tyrannies."

"Why else would we start fighting, killing, and deceiving as soon as we leave the feet of God?“

"Only King Ledley is the true eldest son of God. He is the true king of wisdom."

The words of the craftsman leader pierced Yesel’s heart directly.

"You blasphemer, I will not kill you," he said. "God and King Ledley are kind, and today I shall also be kind. I will spare your life. But you and your descendants will become eternal slaves, your will be mine."

Kneeling below, the craftsman leader felt his sanity slipping into chaos. Yesel's words were like the constitution of heaven, and his wisdom was the heavenly punishment that no intelligent life could resist.

The craftsman leader shouted with all his strength, "You are the one who blasphemes the gods! It is you, King Yes, who is unworthy of the crown of the King of Wisdom. You are not worthy of it, nor of king Ledley.”

His words stopped abruptly before he could finish.

Yesel used the power of the King of Wisdom on a large scale for the first time. He extended his hand towards the thousands of Sanyes men kneeling before him, and rays of light and shadows flowed from his fingers. The Sanyeren's eyes instantly became hollow, and their self-awareness was distorted from the root. Their memories were completely modified, and they became slaves who could only follow orders.

At the same time, traces of royal punishment appeared on the bone helmets on their foreheads. This was the mark of a slave, which would be inherited by their bloodline. Their descendants would not be able to escape the fate of being slaves. On their own, they would never be able to erase the mark that the King of Wisdom had placed on them.

Ledley used the power of the King of Wisdom on a large scale for the first time, hoping that future generations could inherit the promise and vow he made with God. And Yesel used it to punish those who opposed him.

Behind him, a nobleman of the Hiinsa Kingdom approached in fear, kneeling in front of Yesel and asked, "My king, should we start the Sky Temple repair?"

The Fusion Monster, out of control, had destroyed a large building. The Divine Temple and Divine Idol that had been carved after years of work were destroyed.

It's definitely impossible to complete on schedule. Even in another four years, it will still be difficult. There are some priceless and unique rare treasures that can only be found in far away places. Materials in the treasury that took several decades to gather in the Kingdom is now gone.

Yesel didn't even look at the nobleman and said, "Of course it needs to be repaired. And it needs to be repaired better and more perfectly. No mistakes are allowed this time."

The nobleman trembled as he asked, "When will it be completed?"

The king, who was impatient before, suddenly became less overbearing. "Within ten years," he replied. "In addition to these slaves, there are also artisans who have already been expropriated and I am preparing to bring them over.“

After finishing speaking, he took the Fusion Monster and left, followed by hundreds of guards.

After venting, Yesel suddenly felt a chill run through his body. The man words had struck a nerve. Was all of this the wrath of God? He asked himself if what he was doing was right or wrong.

"I believe in God. I worship God. I‘m I on the right path?" he wondered.

Yesel was at a loss. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. He didn't have the constant guidance of God like his father did. He had his father's power but not his love.

The Far Sea

A vast horde of terrifying creatures from the depths of the sea trench crossed the ocean and entered the territory belonging to the trilobites, preying upon scattered schools of ancestral fish like ravenous wolves.

These creatures had an insect-like carapace, and their long and narrow lower bodies were encased in a soft shell, resembling shrimp tails. Their upper bodies were similar to trilobites, except that while trilobites had a bone armor, theirs was a soft-shell armor.

Their two arms lacked the flexible palms and had become two massive spikes.

On the sea, the people of the Kingdom of Hiinsa, who were responsible for fishing, eventually discovered these creatures and gazed at the densely packed monsters.

“This, this…”

A shrill voice broke out, “What is this?”

An old man immediately recognized them: “They’re sinners!”

“The sinners who were punished by the Spiritual God, they escaped from the Demon Abyss.”

However, they hadn't escaped very far before the monsters caught up with them.

The other party's shrimp tail-like lower body was more suitable for sprinting and swimming in the water. The spike-like arms pierced through their chests, instantly killing them on the spot.

These monsters were hungry and sought food.

The scene was bloody and terrifying.

These monsters were descendants of Ens and Bune from the past. They lacked the high-level wisdom that belonged to trilobites and only had the same cooperation and instincts as wild beasts.

They had no language and could not speak.

They used the tentacles on their heads to touch and transmit information, much like ants. Thousands of them gathered together like a horrible monster legion.

Initially, there were only nearly a hundred sinners, but they had multiplied like crazy in the Demon Abyss for decades, and their number had grown to nearly 10,000.

Now that the Demon Abyss could no longer sustain them, they swarmed and rushed towards the Kingdoms territory.
