"Without our Magic Net, how many people could she gather? How long would it take her to progress? And what about her believers? Never mind anything else—why is Sequence 7 a bard who needs to personally spread stories? Isn't it because gaining fame requires more people to know about you?"

Ren said with a smile: "If nothing unexpected happens, from now on they'll be able to write at home and continuously grow stronger. How fast they grow will only depend on what level their creative works can reach. In this situation, you could even say the Church of Writing will become one of the easiest churches in this world to advance in."

"Especially after we implement our second-generation Magic Net and more and more people in the mortal realm become literate, their development will be even more explosive. Beyond that, as the Magic Power Network expands and self-charging magic arrays become widespread, after our Magic Net can transmit more information, we might even develop an 'audiobook' feature—the Magic Net could read their works to readers itself. What do you think the effect would be?"

After hearing all this, the Goddess of Magic's gaze sharpened. It seemed that the future development of the Church of Writing would become incredibly smooth, and the faith fed back to the Goddess of Writing would definitely explode. A formerly marginal minor deity would become incredibly powerful in a world with the Magic Net.

Never mind seventy percent—even at ninety percent, when developing some new features in the future, the other party would probably agree...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and the Goddess of Magic said: "If the Magic Net can do audiobooks, couldn't we invite the Goddess of Music?"

"Of course. In fact, most gods in the future can rely on the Magic Net to spread their faith... When I said earlier about worshiping e-gods and enjoying cyber life, I wasn't joking. But that's all stuff for later. We need to manufacture the second-generation Magic Net as quickly as possible! I'll go explain to Book how to create this writing feature." Ren nodded slightly, and after speaking, called Book out.

The mortal realm.

At the Fallen Ones' headquarters, twelve bishops gathered together. At the same time, throughout the headquarters, over three thousand church members of different ranks were all lying in specially-made containers.

"Archbishop, can this really work?" One bishop looked at Rachena with some concern.

The World of Depravity—the core of the Fallen Ones.

Initially, all Fallen Ones had to rely on the Mirror of Depravity to construct that kind of real illusion, that illusory reality. But as time went on, gradually they'd figured out a whole new system.

Each of them had their own World of Depravity. Even those at the bishop level could already achieve "as long as the world doesn't perish, my body won't die." But that was it. They'd always been exploring how to construct a more real world, a true World of Depravity that could evade all the threats in the world!

This world was just too dangerous.

Everything in the God of Wine's divine realm—they could still recall it all very clearly.

The appearance of the Magic Net made them discover that by using some basic runic applications from the Magic Net and adding some other runes, they could achieve different effects. For example, connecting all the Fallen Ones' Worlds of Depravity to create an even larger World of Depravity... This had been their dream all along.

The experiment in the City of Gold was also to verify this.

But they didn't know if it succeeded or not. They only knew that the legendary figure in charge of it died, and the Mirror of Depravity was lost... Normally, shouldn't they continue verifying feasibility? Or search for the lost divine artifact!

But Archbishop Rachena chose to directly start the next step—connecting and reorganizing all their Worlds of Depravity, wanting to directly form the Great World of Depravity!

"We don't have much time left." Rachena's expression was cold. "His Holiness the Pope will also participate in this Great World of Depravity. Or more precisely, our Worlds of Depravity will all fuse around His Holiness the Pope's World of Depravity."

As soon as she said this, everything went silent.

They hadn't expected that His Holiness the Pope, who'd been missing for years, had actually returned!

Instantly, not a single person said anything more.

"Take your positions." Rachena said. "I'll ensure your safety."

The twelve bishops said nothing more. Six of them sat on black chairs while the other six sat on white chairs. A strange fluctuation began to ripple from their bodies. After who knows how long, the runes on those chairs rapidly lit up and connected. Their auras suddenly surged, and small miniature worlds appeared floating above each person.

Empowered by a mysterious force, the small worlds all flew toward the center of the table. At the same time, they began to expand, and they started to merge with each other, enlarging and enveloping the entire Fallen Ones headquarters.

The Fallen Ones headquarters fell into unprecedented silence. The Fallen Ones who normally loved drinking, making noise, and venting all fell into slumber one by one. The Worlds of Depravity in their hearts also seemed to begin merging with this massive power.

Suddenly, Rachena's eyes turned blood red. The voice from her mouth was still hers, yet seemed not to be hers: "Rachena, everything is running smoothly. It's your turn!"

If other Fallen Ones were present, their jaws would definitely drop in shock. The Pope was actually inside Archbishop Rachena's body.

The two seemed to be sharing a single body.

"Got it." Rachena's eyes instantly returned to normal. "You need to ensure that the aura from the other World of Depravity absolutely cannot enter the Great World of Depravity. We need to first verify the Great World of Depravity's condition... Those damned whispers—I'm not sure if the Great World of Depravity can resist them."

"I understand!" Rachena's eyes turned red again.

Ever since the Pope escaped from the God of Wine's divine realm that year, he'd already been contaminated by a mysterious power. All along, he'd been constantly shrouded by various whispers. To eliminate these whispers, they'd even chosen to abandon the physical body. But even so, they couldn't solve it at all.

The result of layering dozens of different solutions was one body, two souls, one body with two Worlds of Depravity. One World of Depravity was responsible for receiving the corruption and forcibly isolating it there, while the two souls took turns enduring the baptism, forcibly buying time this way.

But they felt they couldn't hold on much longer!

If they still couldn't resist that mysterious existence's corruption, they might really be finished!

The Great World of Depravity—this was their only chance!
