"Whitedove, Ci Qingji Divine Being is an attack Divine Being, with effects divided into 'stab', 'celebrate', and 'fear'. "

"The 'stab' part is self-explanatory, while 'celebrate' is a mind-rule effect. It makes the target and other observers welcome and celebrate the Divine Being's stab. This means that without a specific Defense Miracle, you not only won't be able to resist the stab, you'd even willingly embrace it. For instance, you just now actually opened up your Holy Domain to allow the stab to occur."

"'Fear' is also a mind-rule effect. When attacked by Ci Qingji, you will be overwhelmed with such intense fear that you lose self-control. However, it only takes effect while under attack, so basically, you need not worry about this effect—if you're attacked by Ci Qingji, you'd be dead before having time to fear.'

"Because Whitedove controls both physical and mental rules, he is the only Divine Being you can harm with a physical attack. Besides that, spiritual attacks are also effective."

In the eighteenth layer of the Silent Spiral, deep within the lush forest, Ash and Weiser were retreating swiftly.

They didn't dare to fly up like Vishi, knowing that standing on the ground at least spares them from attacks coming from below. Plus, they didn't have to guard against attacks from the front—with Weiser as a 'hostage', Whitedove, Fire Cat, and Blue Bird dared not launch a frontal assault on Ash.

Having heard Vishi's introduction to Whitedove, Ash kept himself, Silver Lamp, and Whitedove aligned as one, wishing he could squeeze into Silver Lamp's clothing, scared that Whitedove might extend his staff once more to burst his head.

Whitedove, also known as Ci Qingji Great Skill. There aren't many descriptions about Whitedove in the Wasteland, and Ash only knows he was the founder of the first Fire Cat Era on the Land of Senluo, and that his sect was called the Assassins' sect, and the Divine Era was very short-lived.

The ideal of the Ci Qingji Great Skill is to 'unify Senluo and embrace peace.' As the appearance of the Ci Qingji Great Skill is a dove, Whitedove thus became a symbol of peace.

When the Assassins' sect unified Senluo, and all beings lived in peace for decades, the Ci Qingji Great Skill ascended directly into godhood. Then, after decades had passed, a new Great Skill emerged, and the Land of Senluo plunged into a new religious dispute.

It's worth mentioning that although the Assassins' sect, like the Wasteland's Sacred Temple, sought unity and peace, their approaches were entirely different. The latter relied on more violent wars to destroy warfare, while the former relied on assassinations.

In the sparse legendary materials, mages of the Assassins' sect were proficient in concealed assassinations, avoiding all large-scale general wars, directly assassinating enemy bishops and Hosted Gods, ending wars with minimal casualties.

But now, it seems, the legendary materials are likely to be full of errors. Based on Whitedove's effects, there seems to be no effect related to concealment, but rather a dignified grandeur of 'don't move let me kill you.'

Ash could almost see, on the Land of Senluo, 1400 years ago, a bishop mobilizing believers preparing for war on a high platform in a square, and a white-robed assassin dropped from the sky, stabbing the bishop's head with a dagger. Whether the assassin escaped or died didn't matter, the Assassins' sect just wanted everyone to know that any zealot daring to start a war would be executed in broad daylight by Whitedove, and that's Ci·Qing·Ji!

However, the Ci Qingji Great Skill, which had been entrusted with the peace ideals of billions of believers, is now history of 1400 years ago. What stands before them now is merely the Ci Qingji Divine Being composed of rules!

Miracle·Heart Pen Ink Splash!

With a thought, Ash moved his Heart Sword repeatedly around Whitedove, trying to make Whitedove bleed on the spot. However, Whitedove casually swung his staff, seemingly effortlessly, yet each stroke perfectly intercepted Heart Sword, exchanging blows nearly a thousand times in just seconds, Ash was unable to injure Whitedove's body even once!

Vishi continued with the introduction: "Fire Cat, Fire of Knowledge Protecting Flame is a functional Divine Being, with effects divided into 'Fire of Knowledge' and 'Protecting Flame.' Though not adept at attack, she can use all general rules of flame, and her ordinary flames have the power of a Four-winged Technique Spirit; the effect of 'Protecting Flame' you all know, anything illuminated by the fire cannot escape its protective range; 'Fire of Knowledge' allows you to gather all information of things within the light's reach, including your body, soul, and Technique Spirits, tantamount to Reconnaissance Wonder. But without a mage overseeing, Divine Beings act almost on instinct, so no matter how much information she knows, it won't make much difference."

"Fire of Knowledge is a prophecy rule, Protecting Flame is a truth rule, you're unlikely to harm her through these two rules alone, fortunately she has one obvious weakness: fire. Simply use Water Magic to counter it."

Fire Cat hopped around the forest. In no time, she seemed to forget she had once shrunk, returned to her vibrant state. She did not randomly unleash fire, otherwise the entire forest would blaze, but her hair continued to burn, and the light of Fire of Knowledge Protecting Flame held everyone trapped on the eighteenth level of the Silent Spiral.

Fire Cat is likely the Divine Being Ash and his team are most familiar with, the influence of Fire Cat Era on the Senluoians is immeasurable. Even the more modern Blue Bird and Gray Fox couldn't compare with Fire Cat. It is the white moonlight red rose of all Senluoians, sung about by countless, romanticized in endless tomes, and the Tribulation Fire Temple is a group of die-hard fans longing for the Fire Cat Era.

What concept is this? Simply put, it's like a group of era fans forming a political party, running for ruling party, with a slogan to restore the glory of a certain dynasty, and even have a high voting rate...

Never giving up, always passionate, never saying impossible, always moving forward. Ash may have never imagined Fire Cat's image before, but seeing this youthful and spirited fire cat maiden, he felt Fire Cat ought to be like this.

Unfortunately, she is no longer that researcher devoted to enabling ordinary people to drive Technique Spirits.

Technique Spirit·Rapid Stream!

Taking the chance, Weiser targeted Fire Cat, launching the Rapid Stream Technique Spirit. A flow of water suddenly emerged in the air, almost ready to soak Fire Cat, yet just two meters away from her, it suddenly evaporated into vapor, not a drop reaching Fire Cat's body!

Fire Cat stood proud, looked at Weiser, and snorted from her nose.

Divine Beings act on instinct, but having instinct also means she is aware of fear! Having been hit by water once, how could she not guard herself more carefully?

"Blue Bird, Wish Granting Divine Being is an auxiliary Divine Being." Vishi's tone became somewhat odd as if wanting to laugh, yet also excited, as if finding a wife inside a wife cake: "She can achieve almost any effect but requires will to drive. That is to say, without a mage's control, she amounts to a blank slate, and won't even harm you."

"She belongs to the rules of the mind, so spiritual shock is also effective on her."

Upon hearing this, Ash and Weiser couldn't help but glance at the Blue Bird, but soon turned their attention to Whitedove and Fire Cat. Interestingly, they were not very surprised by the effect on Blue Bird.

The Fire Cat Era, also known as the Relaxed Era, the Age of Happiness, and the New Beautiful Era, features ideals of the Blue Bird full of a fairy tale vibe, something like what a child would say: "Let everyone achieve happiness."

This is not some harem protagonist's sleazy declaration, but an actual intention to make everyone in Senluo happy.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the Blue Bird to rule the Divine Era. However, the Fire Cat Mages created the Divine Fire System, making the era's succession rely not on wars but on electoral votes. In addition, five hundred years of the Fire Cat Era's 'intense nation-building' had exhausted society as a whole.

After working for five hundred years, it's time to enjoy.

Therefore, besides Blue Bird, other skills of the same era are all welfare-type great skills like 'Mist White Thought,' which 'extend high-quality life.' In terms of offensiveness, the Blue Bird, known as 'As You Wish,' is naturally the weakest among the three Divine Beings, not reacting much even when pierced a few times by Ash's Heart Sword.

But compared to the three Divine Beings, Ash and Weiser were more concerned with Vishi at this moment. From the very beginning, the strength Vishi displayed did not exceed that of a Three-winged Holy Realm, but his intelligence surpassed the vision of a Holy Sanctuary Mage.

"Mr. Vishi," Ash said, "is there any more important information?"

"No, that's all I know, sorry."

"That's already a lot," Weiser said. "You've even grasped the details of the Blue Bird who never made a move, besides Whitedove and Fire Cat, which is really... quite surprising."

To be honest, Ash and Weiser could vaguely guess the effects of Whitedove's Ci Qingji and Fire Cat's Zhishou Fire. But Blue Bird's As You Wish had been slacking off since its appearance as if just there to make up the numbers. How did Vishi know Blue Bird's ability?

Moreover, Vishi knew how to harm Divine Beings, which made Ash and Weiser feel even more unusual. It seemed as if he was there specifically to deal with the Divine Beings.

But how did he know the three Divine Beings would appear on the eighteenth layer of the Silent Spiral?

Ash and Weiser exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes, confirming that this uninvited guest was not a friend of the Silver Lamp or the Cult Leader. Since Vishi had nothing to do with them and was targeting the Divine Beings, could he be an ace up Lord Zhan's sleeve? Or perhaps another Divine Lord's...

"Oh," Vishi extended his index finger and thumb, gesturing a tiny space, "I just know a little bit of prophecy magic, so I can discern these Divine Beings' effects."

He wasn't lying; the reason he appeared here was that he saw in a Premonition Dream that the Silver Lamp would come to the eighteenth layer of the Silent Spiral and encounter Whitedove, Fire Cat, and Blue Bird, the three Divine Beings. Vishi also anticipated the powers of the three Divine Beings in his Premonition Dream.

This is the power of the Prophet Mage; while others are playing one cycle, the Prophet Mage can play through the second cycle or even the third cycle.

Back then, the Ghost Prophet was defeated by the joint calculations of multiple Divine Lords—a prophecy-type demigod is truly too fearsome.

The special thing about prophecy is that you never know if you've already been prophesied. Sometimes, you encounter disaster without knowing it's the Prophet Mage's behind-the-scenes scheme.

However, there was something odd for Vishi: the situation in his Premonition Dream was entirely different from now.

Though Ash and the Silver Lamp were still present, many other people had also reached the eighteenth layer in his dream; even the Four Pillars God Sect had become subordinates of the Silver Lamp. Moreover, the dream's Ash appeared much more insidious, even making Vishi see his own reflection.

In the event of the Silver Lamp becoming the Senluo Dream Master, after the appearance of the three Divine Beings, the Four Pillars God Sect engaged in fierce combat with the three deities but eventually succumbed. However, the Silver Lamp and Ash harshly unveiled their ultimate card, plunging the deities into desperation, successfully slaying gods with mortal bodies!

Now, not only did the Silver Lamp betray the Four Pillars God Sect, but Ash's character became as carefree as a cartoon character; they also lacked the resources and finesse evident in the Premonition Dream.

Vishi remembered clearly that the Silver Lamp didn't have the courage to unveil the ultimate card; it was Ash's relentless urging and encouragement that created the god-slaying opportunity.

Vishi initially had no plan to intervene, thinking he could reap the benefits without stepping in, who would have thought he had to personally get involved. He even gave them a chance, but they were incompetent!

Yet it's understandable that Premonition Dreams are inherently inaccurate, perhaps due to his severely fragmented soul and the presence of Divine Beings and a Divine Lord in the prophetic targets, there was such a large deviation.

As for why Vishi would help Ash and the Silver Lamp, it wasn't to save the world or any far-sighted vision but rather very simply, superficially, shortsightedly...

He wanted to take these three Divine Beings!
