By that time, I must have also broken through the Third Power Level.

A Third Power Level Prophet, the High Priest of the Supreme Spirit Sect, was revered by all forces, at the very least, the Huai Guang Church could openly support me because of my ‘Clairvoyant Vision’ ability, which could detect calamities they couldn’t foresee.

This was actually not surprising—Ian didn’t even need to prophesy calamities; he simply observed where people were more likely to die to know, it couldn’t be simpler.

Farming, coupled with founding a religion…

and finally expanding the church’s influence with prophetic predictions, attracting attention and even investment from the Orthodox Church and other major forces.

By the time the major powers began to probe into the depths of the Supreme Spirit Sect, it would be no earlier than the year 785, and by then Ian would definitely be at the Fourth Power Level.

By that time, in an era where Fifth Power Level entities were hesitant to intervene directly, he would have the confidence to confront major forces head-on and become a ‘Chess Player,’ starting to devise his schemes on the global chessboard.

However, the premonitions were after all only fragments…

There was a lot of information about this future world that Ian couldn’t access.

For instance, had his church’s rapid growth gone unchecked because the war between The Empire and Fiery Flame Land had reached a fever pitch?

And Canaan Moore’s unquestioning adherence to his predictions, relocating millions of people from around Half Moon Lake, was definitely not something that could be explained merely by the status of a Prophet.

Ian believed he must have utilized the relationships with either the Dragon Worship Cult or Anfa, presenting enough evidence to convince Canaan Moore’s upper echelons.

But a prophet can’t prophesy about themselves, especially not their own thoughts and actions, much like during his Dao Path of the Swarm period.

“It seems I could prophesy one more time…

This is probably the enhancement that the events of the ‘River of Death’ and ‘Star Prison Tianyu’ provided to the ‘Clairvoyant Vision’…

hence the prophecies are related to them,” he thought.

With this in mind, Ian contemplated thoughtfully; he was starting to understand the patterns of his special prophetic ability—it was just like in the South Sea Great Labyrinth, where information related to the Swarm brought enhancements to his Spirit Energy, which is why his entire Prophetic Dream was about the Dao Path of the Swarm.

This time, it was likely no exception.

“Continue!”

Feeling the deepening fatigue, Ian would naturally not delay any further: “Let’s see, after I become the master of a great church, what exactly will the future hold for me!”

—Having become a Prophet and having once organized catastrophes with casualties in the millions, wouldn’t a legitimate, regional great church be a given?

With such expectations, he once again plunged into the vortex brought about by his Spirit Energy.

And then…

Ian saw it.

A desolate and silent land, devoid of any signs of life.

Yet another catastrophe, brought on by himself.

And what the prophecy truly intended to foretell for Ian, the name of the path he saw in this future.

[—Path of the Spirit Disaster—]

…

Since the True Dragon Calamity of Terra Year 779 had subsided, up until Terra Year 787, the Supreme Spirit Sect had gained many more believers in both South Ridge and Canaan Moore.

Its doctrine was crystal clear—supporting all righteous avengers, as well as protection for one’s family, household, and community.

This was the most primal desire in human hearts…

survival, and the violence carried out for survival.

As the Supreme Spirit Sect gradually became more orthodox, the number of its Clerics also steadily increased, and both the Protector Knight and Avenger Messenger even developed two different True Form Heritages, matching their Spirit Energy abilities, which were essential to a potential Orthodox Church in the future.

By now, the Supreme Spirit Sect, which had only appeared about fourteen years ago, already possessed strength and foundations surpassing that of some smaller nations.

Such speed, if described as flying, would likely be an understatement.

But that wasn’t all.

The Supreme Spirit Sect had also brought about a plethora of technological changes…

For instance, the ‘Earth Vein Engine’, which existed only in theory, was key to the sect’s transformation of the primitive ecosystem of South Ridge.

Unlike many a past Alchemy Furnace, the Earth Vein Engine was akin to a hydropower generator or a geothermal power station, a type of natural energy engine built upon the cyclical interplay of Natural Spirit Energy, able to harness the power of Terra’s naturally occurring Spirit Energy for its own use.

Although others marveled at the Supreme Spirit Sect’s technology, Ian knew very well that the so-called Earth Vein Engine was nothing more than a magic-modified, simplified version of the ‘True Aether Furnace Core’.

It employed a rather complex set of theories to slowly attract surrounding Spirit Energy to converge nearby, forming an etheric ‘Earth Vein’, and then used an accompanying Energy Plundering Array to draw energy from the vein for use, making it more than a technological Furnace Core—it relied on the natural lay of the land.

Although immobile and like a reservoir supplying only the surrounding cities, it indeed resolved South Ridge’s energy problem.

Besides, with the death of the first followers of the Supreme Spirit Sect, the power of ‘Deceased Monarchs’ also gradually began to reveal itself.

Life continues after death.

The deceased still exist.

The soul…

can be eternal.

Even if the price is a descent into hell, becoming a part of the ‘Spirit Gods’…

no one would think of it as ‘cruelty.’

Instead, for a world filled with suffering and calamities, this could be considered a form of salvation.

When such facts were revealed, many people expressed shock and ecstasy—they undeniably wanted to join the Supreme Spirit Sect, but were refused.
