“My original intention in coming to the Northern Continent was just to complete a project. Getting to where I am now has indeed exceeded my expectations, but Cardinal, let's just forget about that.”

Lan Qi continued to smile and sigh.

He seized the [Certificate of Rebirth] in the Southern Continent to infiltrate the Rebirth Church in the Northern Continent. At first, he agreed to follow Sigrid because he found her quite congenial, but he never thought about joining the Rebirth Church of the Southern Continent.

The pink, divine-level [Saint's Certificate] can at least be unbound, but the orange, epic-level [Bishop's Certificate] would have to be with him for life.

“Alas, should I say you are greedy, or should I say you are too detached from worldly desires?”

Sigrid shook her head and commented.

The biggest difference between her and the Saint was that she had unlimited ambition, while the Saint only developed a corresponding sense of career depending on the degree of chaos in the environment.

If everything was peaceful and stable, he would become a pendulum, unwilling to do anything.

“You should know that the [Bishop's Certificate] is an epic-level item that many powerhouses would want. It will evolve according to your own characteristics into a unique seal for you. It is a material that is highly compatible with your engraved class and cannot be destroyed, don't blame me for not telling you.”

Sigrid added.

Epic-level materials are treasures that cannot be bought with money. Besides finding them in the real world through extremely complex clues, you can only find them in the Shadow World, and it will be even more difficult to obtain materials suitable for you.

“Can't I just get it from the Shadow World?”

Lan Qi thought for a while and asked.

“If you are very good at the Shadow World, of course you can.”

Sigrid hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although the Shadow World is not the main theme on their side of the Northern Continent, the Saint used the word "get," so it seems he is indeed very good at the Shadow World.

Anyway, the Saint is still far from Tier 7, and he doesn't focus much on improving his own strength through cultivation. If he wants to reach Tier 7, he basically relies on the Shadow World.

“By the way, what other conveniences does the [Bishop's Certificate] have?”

Lan Qi had only seen her silver moon crown seal emitting orange light when he was taken away by Sigrid, but he couldn't identify its specific effects.

Currently, he has seen the ordinary [Certificate of Rebirth] and also possesses the Saint's [Saint's Certificate], but he has never understood the real [Bishop's Certificate].

Boss Cat also pricked up his ears.

Generally speaking, there is no chance to inquire about this kind of information in the Southern Continent. Even the United Council of Kingdoms of the Southern Continent probably doesn't know much about the specific information about the [Bishop's Certificate], but now a Cardinal is sitting next to Lan Qi, chatting with him.

Wait, isn't it being held by this Cardinal?

It had almost forgotten that Sid was that terrifying Tyrant Cardinal!

It doesn't want to be the mascot of the Tyrant branch!

“First of all, the Cardinal will have extremely strong special attack attributes against holders of lower-level [Certificates of Rebirth], and can locate the approximate location of fellow clergymen in the same branch. In addition to being able to make [Certificates of Rebirth] of various levels for its own branch, it can also identify the authenticity of the [Certificates of Rebirth] displayed by other branches. It will also become very simple to judge whether the other party is a follower of the Rebirth Church. It is an important tool for mastering power and organizational command.”

Sigrid moved closer and explained to Lan Qi without reservation.

“Cardinals can also open the Bishop's Council Chamber and enter a high-dimensional space to hold meetings, but at present, the North and South Continents are isolated by the magic disaster. Crossing the North and South, you can only see blurry figures and cannot transmit information at all, so for the time being, only the Bishops located in the Southern Continent can hold meetings with other Bishops in the Southern Continent, and the Bishops located in the Northern Continent can hold meetings with other Bishops in the Northern Continent. Then there are the Death Arena and the Bishop's Voting Ceremony.”

“That's much more powerful than Tier 6 communication magic, although it can only communicate with定向targets.”

Lan Qi said in surprise.

Most high-dimensional communications can only be opened through divine術, and there will be many different restrictions.

“Yes, if I go to the Southern Continent and suddenly join the internal meeting of the Bishops over there, it might scare them. However, the Cardinals of the Northern Continent rarely hold meetings, except for meetings convened by the Pope that they have to attend.”

Sigrid remembered that she had seen the figures of the Southern Continent Bishops in the space of the Bishop's Council Chamber.

In short, they know of each other's existence, but there is rarely any communication.

The forces between the Cardinals of the Southern Continent are often more scattered, and they may even have some cooperation with each other. The relationship between the Bishops on the Northern Continent is indeed not very good. There are even mortal enemies such as Askesang and Sigrid. Although the possibility of cooperation between Cardinals is not ruled out, most of the time they play their own games.

As for the Pope, he went to the Tier 9 Shadow World with the other Tier 9 powerhouses of this era last year, and has not been seen for more than a year. No one knows when he will return.

The Tier 9 Shadow World can obtain the legendary Tier 9 magic cards, and even materials of unknown grades. Once opened, Tier 9 practitioners will find opportunities to try to enter it as soon as possible to seek higher power.

In addition, if the Tier 9 Shadow World is not dealt with, or if the handling fails, the resulting natural disasters will be comparable to the level of the magic miasma on the North and South Continent seas or the calamity役土 in the far north.

The vast majority of creatures do not want this level of disaster to befall the real world.

This is precisely why the Shadow World must be dealt with.

“I understand, the Rebirth Church's seals and authority are indeed incredible divine objects.”

Lan Qi nodded upon hearing this. The remaining Bishop functions involve the game between Bishops and have public information.

The Bishop's Voting Ceremony represents that the Cardinals can initiate a vote to elect a new Pope, which is also the only way for each Pope to take office.

Once he becomes Pope, the holder of the [Papal Authority] will have the highest amount of special attack attributes against all holders of the [Certificate of Rebirth]. Under the original similar strength, once a [Bishop's Certificate] of any Cardinal evolves into a [Papal Authority], the other Cardinals will not be his opponent, and the new Pope will completely control the Rebirth Church.

The ascension of each new Pope will be accompanied by a bloodbath, purging those originally hostile Bishops and their branches.

Sigrid is obviously an ambitious person who wants to become Pope.

As for the Death Arena, it is a life-and-death duel with the [Bishop's Certificate] at stake. Once the Death Arena is opened, it cannot be terminated before a victory or death is determined, but it requires both parties to initiate it. It is explicitly prohibited by the Pope. The Pope does not allow the same Bishop to have multiple Bishop's Certificates.

“How about it, do you want to be a Cardinal at all?”

Sigrid bumped Lan Qi with her shoulder again and asked.

Boss Cat felt his heart in his throat.

It was afraid that Lan Qi would be moved by Sigrid!

“No, I can't do it. My Southern Continent ID card will be revoked.”

Lan Qi still shook his head helplessly.

“Alas, I was thinking that one day you could also become a Cardinal, and our two Bishops could continue to gallop wantonly in the Northern Continent, but I will respect your wishes.”

Sigrid sighed in disappointment, but she didn't want to force the Saint, or rather, it would be nice if the Saint was willing to continue to be her Saint.

“But if you want to be Pope, I am willing to continue to help you.”

Lan Qi smiled and said.
