The believers must not see each other as people came and went. They passed by her and didnât stop.
No one knew how long had passed before the other party returned to her senses. Her eyes moved slightly, and her expression changed.
âThe aura of the Dwarf God? The dwarf who peeked into the river of fate is still alive?â
âThe other party found the key so quickly. It must have discovered more things in the river of fate than I expected.â
The middle-aged woman stared at the desert church. She tightened her cloak. She did not step into it and turned around to leave.
However, the passers-by could feel that the other partyâs footsteps were remarkably simple. It was as if they had received some good news.
âThe gears of fate had turned. This city at the edge of the desert will become the center of the world.
âThe key⦠I wonder what will happen behind that door.
âWhat will happen in the New Era?
âDo we old souls still have the qualifications to step into it?â
The middle-aged woman walked into the alley and disappeared into the crowd.
No one paid attention to such a sudden appearance. And no one cared about such an ordinary person.
The middle-aged woman disappeared soon after, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.
She looked at the sky where the woman had fanatically stopped just now with a gaze.
âYour Excellency!
âGreat God of the Desert, your loyal believers pray to youâ¦
âLordâ¦â
The followers of the Desert Sect knelt on the ground humbly and piously saluted.
Believers filled the wide streets as they knelt on the ground. It was quite a spectacular sight.
Richard ignored the believers and looked down at the ground with a grave expression.
The dwarf statue in his hand emitted a faint holy light. It was particularly eye-catching.
âYour Excellency Fam? Have you discovered the existence of that person?â
Inside the dwarf statue, on the throne, the sleeping Dwarf God had woken up at some point. At this moment, this top-notch big shot who had survived countless years ago had a bewildered expression.
âItâs her aura!!â
âBut if it is her and she doesnât want to see the world, no one can find her.â
Richard frowned.
âYour Excellency Fam, can you tell me who that existence is?â
He had just dealt with administrative matters in the Desert Sect when the Dwarf God suddenly woke up and nervously informed him that a big shot had appeared outside the church and asked him to come and welcome him.
However, he missed.
The Divine Throne God and the Dwarf God wore gorgeous bird feather cloaks and gemstone-filled rings. That revealed a hint of incomprehensible meaning in his deep eyes.
âShar, the Darkness Goddess.
âThe shadow and dark side of the world. Two ancient gods were born at the same time as the Light Goddess at the beginning of creation.
âHer existence is even more ancient than the ancient gods.
âFurthermore, Shar has never lost her strength during turmoil.
âThree generations had replaced the Light Goddess. But Her Excellency Shar remained the same.â
Richard was shocked.
âShar?â
She was not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. She was a top-notch big shot with a name in the creation myths.
It wasnât an exaggeration to say that before the day of stars, such a big shot could easily crush any god below the level of a master god.
Even the primary gods of the various divine branches had to bow humbly in front of the other party.
People knew her as the most mighty ultimate existence in the âShining Eraâsâ Ninth Hell Lord, Asmodeus. He had to maintain sufficient respect for her.
Such a person had suddenly appeared in Solan City, in front of the Desert Sect, and even stopped for quite a while.
âWhat did the other party want to do?â
Richard pondered and felt the pressure rise.
A big shot must have fancied his Desert Sect.
The Dwarf God sensed Richardâs mood. He comforted him.
âThereâs no need to be nervous. The Excellency Shar has always been kind and amiable.
âShe could have done plenty of methods if she wanted to harm you. Donât doubt an existence that has survived since the beginning of creation.â
Richard thought of the Darkness Goddess. She had slaughtered more than a hundred gods in the creation myths and was speechless.
âA goddess of darkness, and youâre telling me sheâs kind?â
âYour Excellency Fam, may I know why Her Excellency Shar has come?â
The Dwarf God subconsciously sat up straight and solemnly looked at the void.
âPerhaps she sensed the aura of the key.
âA great upheaval will appear, and a New Era will rise in the chaos.
âThe key will open the door to the New Era.â
Richard frowned.
âThis isnât the first time youâve mentioned the key. Isnât the key the Grace Mainland Overlord?
âWhy did she come to Solan City to search?â
The Dwarf Godâs gaze carried some deep meaning.
âGrace Mainland Overlord is the key. So arenât you Grace Mainland Overlord?â
Richard narrowed his eyes.
âYou mean⦠I am that key?â
The Dwarf God nodded and shook his head.
âNo, no one can be sure that the key is not an object. Instead, it refers to the opening of the New Era.
âThe only thing we can be sure of is that the Grace Mainland Overlord will open the door to the New Era.
âWhether you are the key or not, itâs hard to say.
âBecause youâre not the only one. Moreover, becoming a key is not necessarily a good thing.â
Richard felt a little more confident.
The last thing he would see was someone say he carried a heavy responsibility and asked him to do whatever he wanted. The plot of this domestic drama annoyed him.
âThen why did Her Excellency Shar choose Solan City and come to the Desert Church?â
âBecause you are Qingqiu, the strongest Grace Mainland Overlord. You are the first Grace Mainland Overlord to obtain the power and control the Ell Plane. You have an unimaginable influence on Grace Mainland Overlord.
âThe Grace Mainland Overlord will open the New Era. Arenât you the one with the highest chance?
âNot only you, there must be gods lurking around the Grace Mainland Lords who have obtained the authority.
Richard was silent and seriously considered the pros and cons of this matter. At the same time, he wondered what the so-called New Era was.
New authority, new gods, new rules, or a new world?
âI donât understand, I canât figure it out.â
The two conversed. Shar, the Dark Goddess who had transformed into a mortal, quietly arrived at an inconspicuous tavern in Solan City.
The other party pushed the door open and entered. Five people inside stood up in unison.
