The outskirts of Maple Leaf City.

This is a deserted town. Standing outside the town, you can see that the whole town looks like the apocalypse is coming, with dilapidated ruins and rusted locomotives everywhere.

The dilapidated building is covered with green plants, and from time to time there are rotting wolves howling in the wilderness.

Haze and ghosts have become the theme of this town, which looks like a doomsday town.

When it appears in a prosperous human world, it appears so disharmonious, unreasonable, and incomprehensible.

This is Qingsong Town.

At this time, Qingsong Town has been sealed off, and there is no one around. Only a warning sign has been erected to warn people coming and going that the place is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Standing outside the town and looking in, the town is like being held in an opaque bowl. Everything inside is blurry and indistinct. Although you can't see it clearly, you can feel the howling wind and gloomy clouds inside.

.

This bowl is actually a barrier to prevent the spread of the law of alienation.

There are also a few lines written under the warning sign next to the barrier.

"The place where the laws are alienated."

"Alienated creature level 9: Sequence 9 can enter, and higher than this sequence will deny entry."

"The alienation index is 25, and the maximum number of people allowed to enter is 20."

"Known alienation trait: Cruelty."

"Cruelty: As the erosion of the law increases, the party affected will become cruel and murderous."

A new sign was erected next to this warning sign.

"Attention: A mutation has occurred in this area, the level of the alienation law has increased, and the alienation characteristics have changed."

"The current alienation index is 50, and the maximum number of people allowed to enter is 20."

"Known alienation characteristic: Dark Night of the Soul."

"Dark Night of the Soul: As the erosion of the law increases, the resistance to spiritual and mental attacks will continue to be weakened."

"Current status: Access prohibited."

Looking at the notice on the warning sign, Jiang Changye murmured: "It's actually affecting the mind."

The consequences of law erosion are not necessarily as simple as becoming a 100% alienated creature.

Some alienation laws are relatively peaceful. Even if they are eroded, as long as they don't turn into alienated creatures, there won't be a big problem. For example, this is the case with the World of Disaster. Its alienation characteristics are just a fair duel, and the erosion is not strong. You can stay in it for two months.

No problem.

But here it's the opposite.

The alienated creature's level is not high, only Sequence 9, but its corrosive properties are off the charts, with an alienation index of 50, which means it can reach 50% corrosiveness in one day and be fully transformed in two days.

The consequences of this are more serious.

For this reason, this place is classified as a restricted area and entry is simply not allowed.

But this is obviously ineffective for retroactive awareness.

Jiang Changye directly launched the backtracking, and his whole body was like a wood and stone sculpture. Fortunately, there were no people in this area, and no one cared about it.

Because the incident happened before Jiang Changye's return, Jiang Changye was in the World of Disaster at that time, and it was impossible for him to return consciously. He couldn't see the beginning, so he could only interrupt his entry.

There was a gray mist in front of me, and countless undead souls were walking around in the gray mist.

More familiar images flashed across Jiang Changye's field of vision.

"Grey fog...the nurse with the deformed face...it is indeed Silent Hill." Jiang Changye murmured.

He continued to move forward, and in the center of the town was a church, filled with large amounts of gray fog.

Jiang Changye knew that that should be the key point and walked towards the church.

Arriving at the church, Jiang Changye saw a group of men in black praying. In the center was a cross with a small skeleton on it.

But other than that, Jiang Changye couldn't see anything.

Those believers in black didn't speak, they just prayed silently. There was no communication, and therefore no information.

This left Jiang Changye speechless.

He knew that this was a key node, but the key point was not only space, but also time.

When can you communicate and say something?

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Changye suddenly felt something was wrong.

This is...not good!

brush!

The next moment Jiang Changye's consciousness returned, Jiang Changye hurriedly went to the nearby Law House to conduct an erosion test.

Twenty-five percent erosion?

how so?

Didn't it say it would take two days?

I only went back two hours, how come the erosion rate is only 25%?!

The tenacity of consciousness is ineffective against law erosion. Jiang Changye can understand that the problem is that he is a conscious body!

Why is it also affected? Could it be that...

Dark night of the soul!

Hold!

Looking at the gray area, Jiang Changye understood something.

"It should be like this. There are actually two types of law erosion, and the erosion of gray fog is more serious. In addition, it may be because of the dark night characteristics of the soul. Not only can my consciousness be affected, but the impact is increased, but this has to be done in person.

Only then can it be confirmed...that the traceback can also be affected...how could this happen?"

Jiang Changye discovered for the first time that backtracking did not mean being a bystander in the true sense, but could still be affected by reality. This completely broke his old understanding of time backtracking.

At this moment, after taking a long breath to calm his thoughts, Jiang Changye turned around and left.

————————————

afternoon.

After purification, Jiang Changye had sorted out his thoughts and went directly to the Cathedral of the Reversed Wheel.

The Cathedral of the Reversed Wheel is located in the northern suburbs of Maple Leaf City. It is a spire building with a majestic architectural pattern. There is a huge black and white hourglass mark on the central church building, and below there are countless parishioners worshiping and praying.

Entering the church, Jiang Changye showed his qualification certificate and said: "The new warrior of the reverse cycle, please request to join the church."

From Wei Lixiao's perspective, he extremely hates the church.

But Jiang Changye didn't dislike the church.

Not only because of the difference in education, but also because there are obvious differences between the church here and the church on earth.

The Sixteenth Sequence Church is a truly powerful church. It not only has rights, but also gives strength - the church itself has many additional benefits.

If you want to become a powerful serial warrior, it is unrealistic not to join the church.

A young priest had led him into the small building on the left side of the church.

After walking through the long and narrow corridor, he came to a room and the priest quickly registered him.

After completing the formalities, Jiang Changye officially became an ordinary believer of the Counter-Lun Church.

He said to the priest: "By the way, I earned some merit some time ago and want to make some contributions to the church."

Hearing this, Li Hui smiled and said: "The church thanks you for your piety. How much do you plan to donate?"

The Lord does not need money, so the recipient of the donation cannot say thank you to the Lord, but can only thank the church.

"How about ten thousand meritorious deeds?"

"What did you say?" Li Hui was confused for a moment.

The main income of Sequence Church comes from three aspects.

The first is the sequential tax revenue, which is mainly from the trial world. Sixty-five percent of the tax revenue and 15% is given to the corresponding church.

The second is the property in the name of the church.

The third is the donations from believers.

However, unlike the pure faith on earth, in the order dimension, the relative prevalence of "miracles" does not enhance the majesty of "god", but instead reduces the "god"'s stature, leading to the existence of religious people and "the god in their minds"

Lots of tradability.

In particular, the Sequence Church has the function of granting power, making this kind of transaction more natural and common.

Donation is, in a sense, another "VIP" qualification.
