CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 3: EARTHLY DIVINE KINGDOM! MECHANICAL DIVINE SECT

This is just a routine disorder punishment, harsher ones would probably make him unable to move.

Duncan was unaffected.

There were too many people, and while some relied on their tall and strong physique to forcefully jump the queue, as long as there was no commotion, no one paid attention.

The first batch of people emerged after ten minutes.

Soon, the second batch also came out after ten minutes inside.

Some looked happy, some appeared excited, some looked disappointed, and a few individuals were directly taken away by church members. When they emerged again, they had a mark of the Mechanical Church on their chest, which meant they became part of the church, the lowest level of church followers.

Duncan was in the sixth row in front, a middle-aged man marked as ’cultist’ emerged already wearing the church’s mark.

Even cultists dare to come, what would Duncan be afraid of?

The third batch quickly flowed in, Duncan was in the fifth column, entering a corridor lined with majestic steel carvings on both sides, giving a solemn appearance. Inside were coffin-like boxes, reminiscent of iron maidens, just a meter in diameter, barely allowing movement.

The first column of people entered, some immediately kneeled and prayed to the idol in front of the Shen Kan, a metal plate engraved with various prayers lay before them.

The queue soon reached Duncan. After entering, he first looked around curiously, then knelt on one knee before the Shen Kan.

This is a very sealed space.

External sounds were almost inaudible, with only the light overhead shining bright. In front lay a precise mechanical gear lever structure, with bearers on both sides supporting a small Shen Kan. Inside, the statue was lifelike, resembling an exquisitely crafted steel figurine.

In front of Duncan was a Steel Angel, and behind the angel was a statue of the Mechanical God. This Divine Spirit had many facets, the most common one inside the Shen Kan was a robotic face, one eye being mechanical, and the other eye empty.

"Praise the Mechanical God!"

Before Duncan was an iron plate, like a college podium, only fifty centimeters. The iron plate had steel engravings, the first prayer was the phrase he just recited.

Dimension Space, projection page.

In an instant.

A line of characters appeared on the projection page—"Power of Faith detected!"

The projection page constantly changed.

In a God’s perspective, countless rune conduits spread throughout the prayer room. The front interfaces were five hundred coffin-like compartments, all chant the prayer, but some channel the Power of Faith, while others have no reaction, until the entire prayer is completed, which only ignites a tiny spark of faith.

The scene Duncan saw was like a circuit board, hidden beneath the Divine Hall, where they were battery cells; even mere faint faith sparks were completely absorbed by the circuit board, eventually being channeled somewhere unknown.

"Special civilization form detected!"

"Marking in progress!"

"Target is [Earthly Divine Kingdom] civilization!... Entering Observer mode!..."

"Mark completed!..."

"Dimension Observer recording new data!... Archive marked [Earthly Divine Kingdom] (political-religious unity) form!..."

"Exiting Observer mode."

Buzz.

In the Dimension Space’s background pattern, on the right side of the feather-shaped nebula, a vast nebular pattern composed of countless mechanical gears, levers, etc., appeared. It was as though vast levels of precise machined gears transformed the entire sky into an orderly pyramid structure.

With marking completion, Duncan’s creation ability seemed slightly altered, but now it was more important to observe everything before him.

The image on the projection page began to rise.

In an instant, Duncan saw black pyramids towering over the earth, even the smallest reaching several thousand meters, the largest tens of thousands of meters, piercing through the clouds. These were purely mechanical creations, resembling world wonders, marking the planet’s energy field along the terrestrial veins. Surrounding these towering black pyramids were densely constructed Nest Cities, resembling beehives, continuously gathering energy and channeling it into the black pyramids visible before.

The top had beehives, the bottom was ant nests.

In the projection page, Duncan saw flowing Power of Faith, large energy conduits extending in all directions toward the Nest City regions, gathering countless faint faith sparks that, like converging currents, formed substantial magical power networks.

These were not the Wind of Magic Duncan had once seen, but large magical conduits, densely networked, collecting faith from heaven and earth, transmitting it into the towering black pyramids.

What he saw right now was truly magnificent!

In Duncan’s eyes, the entire planet transformed into a massive hive, countless steel jungles attached to the black pyramids, under a God’s perspective, billions of beings were like inconsequential fireflies, finally contributing to the wondrous faith network enveloping the planet.

He even saw some things in the planet’s orbital sky.

Gasp!

Duncan suddenly thought of the Middle Ages’ future concept, one direction being extreme political-religious unity, requiring the construction of numerous religious wonders.

Where is this leading me?
