From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

The citizens' reactions were like a vibrant tapestry.

Archer's voice echoed across the square, and when he mentioned the existence and power of the divine, many faces displayed expressions of astonishment.

Some among them had never contemplated such a grand presence as a deity, let alone imagined themselves in connection with one. This sudden influx of information was like a boulder dropped into a placid lake, rippling outwards in waves.

"Is he serious?"

"By the Gods above, isn't the deity the Fischer family speaks of the Lord of Salvation, Blazing Sun, Lady Silver Moon themselves?"

"What on earth is going on today? What exactly is Lord Archer Fischer talking about?"

Even the century-long reputation of the Fischer family in Nasir City, their most solid stronghold, left many people deep within shocked and confused.

After all, the weight of the Gods' authority was too immense, spanning thousands of years.

A hundred years ago, the Ouden Continent was entirely under the control of the Gods, an era where Divine Oracles were often delivered, and Divine Punishments would appear every few decades.

Even now, a hundred years later, the Gods had vanished without a trace, yet their influence lingered on.

Thus, within many a mind, doubts and bewilderment inevitably arose.

Lord of the Lost...

What exactly is that?

Is He truly a God?

And is He truly better, greater than all the other Gods?

There were also plenty who felt tangible fear, for in much of the slander from the True Gods Church, the deity worshiped by the Fischer family was a dreadful Evil God.

If all that was said were true... perhaps they were about to sacrifice the whole of Nasir City!

What in the end would they do?

Though no one dared openly contest or question them, more and more silent individuals sought answers deep in their hearts.

Archer was completely caught up in excitement; he enjoyed change, and this great transformation proved particularly delightful.

Before unveiling the speech, the Fischer family had already discussed what needed to be done.

They knew the thoughts that people might harbor in their hearts, and they also clearly understood how to provide them with answers.

"The great Lord of the Lost, He is a God that truly exists! Unlike those ignorant and absurd false gods who abandoned everyone, only the great Lord of the Lost is worthy of our true devotion!"

Archer, with a smile on his face, forcibly maintained his inner composure as he continued to address everyone present.

"And the only destination for our souls, is to enter the embrace of the Lord after death!"

"Do the deities spoken of by the Fischer family really exist?" some people privately mused, their eyes still filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, Archer's gaze locked onto that person who was muttering internally, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

He then continued with a laugh.

"What I'm about to discuss is how the Fischer family came into contact with the Lord of the Lost, a miracle that I must share with you... It was a stormy night, when our ancestors Irene Fischer and Chris Fischer encountered the minions of evil!"

Archer began to share the ancestral story that tied the Fischer family to the divine, and how faith had guided their rise to power.

The rise of the Fischer family was a tale as legendary as it gets, and the people listening found it utterly captivating, their attention wholly absorbed.

"This sounds absolutely miraculous!"

"So that's how the Fischer family rose to prominence… what a legend!"

Some quietly exclaimed, their eyes shining with curiosity, eager to learn more from the Fischer family; yet at the same time, some were filled with worry.

They wondered what the purpose behind the Fischer family's proclamation of the "Lord of the Lost" was today.

It's highly likely they hoped to convert the masses.

But most of the people in Nasir City believed in the Tempest Overlord...

Who would willingly convert so easily?

If one blindly trusted in a new deity, could it lead them into a quagmire?

Yet if the God known as "Lord of the Lost" really made an appearance, what would be the fate of those who did not convert?

The Fischer family might force them...

"Could this be just a scam?"

The complex emotions of the citizens intertwined, both astonished at the existence of the divine and trying incredulously to understand it all.

However, regardless of the internal struggle and contradictions they harbored, this speech had opened a new door for the Cyart people, prompting them to think about the topics of faith and the divine.

Archer, seeing more and more people deep in thought, smiled, knowing in his heart that it was time to move on to the next phase.

Now that people's hearts needed answers and proof, his upcoming "performance" would easily penetrate their souls!

"Next, I will prove to you how powerful the power of God is!"

Soon, the Fischer family brought forward a middle-aged man who had just "accidentally" died not long ago, and it was evident to everyone that he had indeed died.

For his body was only about one-third intact, qualifying as nothing less than "remnants."

Then, Archer resurrected him on the spot with a miraculous liquid, harnessing the power of the "Origin Spirit sea"!

That body, which was previously nothing but remnants, began to rapidly regenerate flesh and bone in a short period, fully reviving in the eyes of all!

"God, that was clearly a corpse!"

"How did he manage to resurrect it?"

"It really worked! Can this be possible?"

Everyone was stunned since, although extraordinary powers were not uncommon in this world, the power to completely resurrect the dead was very rare indeed! It mostly existed only in historical legends and myths!

As for resurrecting from mere remnants, that was even more miraculous!

"Actually, I must admit the most important thing to you."

After showcasing the power of resurrection, Archer shifted the topic.

"In the story I just told, I didn't make it clear... the rise of the Fischer family's true origin."

"The Fischer family was originally devoid of extraordinary power... At first, we had no Bloodline power; it was because we were granted divine grace that we obtained extraordinary power!"

Many were taken aback.

"Not just us, but many others are the same. By becoming devotees of the Lord of the Lost, one could receive the precious power bestowed by Him!"

But simply saying this was not enough, not enough to change everyone in a short time, especially in an extraordinary world where extraordinary measures were needed.

Archer smiled calmly, quietly employing the power of a three-digit Forbidden rare artifact, the "Spirit Horn."

"Spirit Horn," artifact number 288, could consume ten years of one's lifespan to greatly influence the emotions of everyone in sight.

"God has granted us the power of Consecution!"

"Do you wish to gain power? Today, I can make some of you gain the extraordinary power you've always dreamed of but could never attain, to become true Extraordinaries!"

His voice echoed deeply in the hearts of many citizens with the "Spirit Horn."

Furthermore, it was as if a voice was amplifying the emotions in people's hearts!

Through the effects of the Forbidden rare artifact, the entire square seemed to be swept by an invisible wave of heat, instantly bringing people's emotions to a boiling point.

At that moment, the noise of the crowd rose and fell like a surging tide.

Every face was flushed with unrestrainable excitement and joy, their eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light, as if about to touch the source of the power they had longed for.

"Is this true? Will God really grant us power?"

Questions echoed throughout the crowd, but more prevalent were the craving and anticipation for this power, and Archer could see many people starting to talk to each other, their voices filled with excitement and urgency, eager to understand this power.

Some young people were so thrilled that they nearly jumped up, waving their arms and shouting, "We want to become strong! We want to use this power to protect our homeland!"

And those who were older, though they appeared more composed, their eyes also shone with light.

The entire square plunged into a frenzy, as people rushed towards Archer Fischer of the Fischer family, hoping to get more information and guidance.

Although a portion of the crowd was still worried, to many the question of whether the Lord of the Lost was an Evil God no longer mattered...

Every person dreams of obtaining extraordinary power!

It's something more important than life itself!
