Immortal Creed

Chapter 239: Promise


The brief recollection ended, and at this moment, Bishop Roxana stated the reason she had invited Liens today.

"Mr. Liens, I invited you today because I hope you can look after the Church a little after I leave. If the Church encounters a fatal crisis, I ask that you..."

"I apologize, Bishop Roxana, but I will also be leaving Kara City soon for another battlefield, so I cannot accept your request."

Bishop Roxana's words were cut short by Liens, who explained his impending departure.

"Has the influence of destiny already begun?"

Bishop Roxana sighed.

"According to you, I should have already been influenced by destiny. However, this choice was indeed made after careful consideration and is beneficial to me."

Liens responded.

"This is destiny... It's often not forceful; it merely adds weight to your leaning towards one side when you face a choice."

"Since that's the case, I can only wish Mr. Liens good luck."

Bishop Roxana said with emotion.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Bishop. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. After handling the last matter, I'll pack my things and leave Kara City."

"This explanation today, I can only repay this karma another day."

Seeing that Bishop Roxana had nothing else to say, Liens bid her farewell.

"Monica, see Mr. Liens out."

Bishop Roxana said.

"That's not necessary. Bishop, don't you have something to discuss with Miss Monica? There's no need for me to continue delaying your time."

Liens smiled and shook his head, refusing Bishop Roxana's offer to have Monica see him out.

With that, he turned and left the room, quickly heading towards Ben's location. He had already left a mark on Ben, so he knew exactly where Ben was currently located.

Watching Liens' departing figure, Monica had some things she wanted to say to him.

However, what Bishop Roxana was about to tell her was more important, so she could only put her questions aside until their next meeting.

And seeing Monica's hesitant gaze towards Liens, Bishop Roxana became even more certain of her 'misunderstanding'.

So she decided that when she explained the situation to Monica in detail later, she would add some basic 'educational lessons'.

...

Meanwhile, after leaving the Church of Heavenly Light, Liens quickly found Ben in a simple office.

"Hmm? Liens, it's quite rare to see you leave that room... Did something happen?"

Ben first teased Liens about his homebody habits, then asked him if anything special had occurred.

Just as he would only seek Liens out if he had something important, he felt that Liens was always cultivating and wouldn't easily go out without a reason.

"Something did happen... Ben, I want to talk to the existence on you."

Liens responded.

With that, he stimulated the will of divine power attached to Ben with his mind, and a profound will began to awaken.

"Are you here to agree to the contract I proposed?"

An inorganic voice entered Liens' mind through his spiritual perception.

"You seem a lot weaker than before. Is it because of the 'New Kara City' ceremony not long ago?"

"Can you tell me what that power that rapidly spread during the ceremony actually was?"

Liens did not directly respond to the God of Absolute Fairness; instead, he directly questioned with his mind.

"Your perception is very keen; you can even detect that power. Indeed, I was not wrong about you. You might be an important aid in helping me clear that obstacle."

A hint of surprise appeared in the inorganic voice.

"An obstacle on the Legendary Path?"

Liens confirmed.

"It seems you've learned quite a bit from the Heavenly Light Church. That's right, I am currently re-walking the Legendary Path."

"As for the power you perceived during the ceremony earlier, it was nothing else but the Godhood I abandoned. It's just that that Godhood is a bit more special."

The God of Absolute Fairness responded.

Liens knew that the special Godhood He spoke of might be the "Godhood" that Bishop Roxana had mentioned earlier, but he was not asking about the "Godhood" itself.

"What impact will that power have on the ordinary people of Kara City?"

This was the reason he came to find the God of Absolute Fairness.

Even ordinary elemental turbulences affect common people; he didn't believe that such special Godhood, freely spreading, would have no impact whatsoever on ordinary people.

"It will have some impact on their minds. Those with unstable cognitions will likely lean more towards pursuing concepts of equality in the future."

"Without the involvement of other high-tier powers, this influence is difficult to change."

The God of Absolute Fairness did not hide anything, directly informing Liens of the impact after the "Godhood" power spread.

"Is that so?"

Liens did not feel any anger. This situation was much better than his worst-case scenario. At least the ordinary people of Kara City were not in any Life-threatening danger.

"I agree to the conditions you mentioned. However, let's skip signing a contract; a verbal agreement between us will suffice."

"This kind of agreement, at least in my opinion, is more reliable than directly signing a contract. You are originally the 'God of contract,' so your credibility, in my view, is more solid than a contract."

Liens continued, already preparing to depart for Lucrezia's side, and thus, he naturally accepted the conditions proposed by the God of Absolute Fairness.

"Then let's agree to that... However, you must be preparing to go there, otherwise, you wouldn't have come to accept the contract I proposed."

The God of Absolute Fairness said.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. I hope you don't mind."

Liens knew what 'there' referred to, and he didn't feel awkward, as he never thought such a small matter could be hidden from the other party.

"It doesn't matter. Regardless of the reason, as long as you fulfill my conditions, I will provide my reward... An agreement and a contract make little difference to you and me."

"You will eventually embark on this path. I look forward to seeing you in that realm."

After speaking, the profound will of the God of Absolute Fairness disappeared from Liens' perception, as if its power had been exhausted.

After a careful search, Liens confirmed that the will of the God of Absolute Fairness had indeed disappeared, and had not returned to the divine power within its main body.

"How was it?"

Seeing Liens' demeanor return from indifference to his usual gentleness, Ben guessed that Liens had finished speaking with the existence he worshipped, so he asked for confirmation.

To prevent Ben from hearing anything, Liens had communicated with the God of Absolute Fairness entirely through his mind.

Therefore, in Ben's eyes, he only saw Liens' demeanor change, and then he continuously stared at a certain spot.

"We've finished talking and confirmed some things."

"By the way, I don't know if you've noticed, but His will has left your body, so you probably won't be able to gather the divine power of other divine envoys anymore."

Liens responded.

"Is that so? The God has left... That ability, well, it doesn't matter."

"The number of divine envoys in Kara City isn't that high anymore anyway, and gathering them wouldn't reach the second tier. Besides, I don't have such a great pursuit for personal strength."

Ben was a little disappointed by the news of the God of Absolute Fairness's departure, but he quickly discarded that negative emotion.

He did indeed believe in the God of Absolute Fairness.

But more than faith, he cared more about his ideals. There were still many things in Kara City that needed to be dealt with, and he didn't have the energy to lament the disappearance of 'favor'.
