Chapter 666: Disciples of the Dark God!

"Xingluo Marquis has actually been replaced, this is quite interesting. Do you have any more news?" Li Shaolong's lips curled slightly.

"Qihe not only discovered that Xingluo Marquis is not himself, but he also inadvertently found out that Xingluo Marquis had once asked him to find some rather peculiar materials during a certain period of time. These materials included organs of the deceased, fangs of venomous snakes, excrement from certain exotic beasts, and so on. At the time, Qihe didn't think much of it, but later, he recalled that only certain evil rituals required these items."

Li Shaolong's expression remained unchanged, and as Deputy continued, he began to entertain a possibility. Xingluo Marquis was very likely a disciple of the Dark God!

The human race, only in their ignorance, believed in so-called deities. Once they reached a certain level of understanding, they realized that these so-called gods were merely powerful races, led by the high-ranking among them, who prohibited all forms of worship.

Earth had escaped the ban on worship simply because it hadn't been discovered. Otherwise, it too would have faced the consequences of the ban on faith.

As a result, within the human star system, there was no presence of any divine church. But for certain Universe races that relied on faith for their existence, this vast human territory was like a sumptuous feast.

They used various methods to spread their faith among humans and bestowed upon their followers various mysterious powers.

Throughout history, humans had always been plagued by conflicts, and wherever there were conflicts, there was bloodshed. The faith of the Dark God spread rapidly, and even though the high-ranking humans had consistently targeted these Dark God disciples, they had never been able to eradicate them.

Through the long struggle, humans had gained some understanding of the Dark God. They could only communicate with their followers during rituals, granting them power.

The items required for these rituals were considered repulsive by humans, and that's precisely what the Dark God favored.

Normally, a noble of an Empire like Xingluo Marquis would never become a disciple of the Dark God. But reality was staring Qihe in the face, making him believe in this possibility.

What frightened him the most was what kind of entity could silently replace Xingluo Marquis without a trace? If it weren't for his agreement with Marquis regarding the Secret Code, he probably wouldn't have discovered that Marquis had been replaced.

Dark God, at first glance, might sound similar to the Protoss, but the two were entirely different.

For the Protoss, any race that associated itself with the term "god" was their enemy; only the Protoss had the right to deify themselves, while other races did not.

The Protoss always viewed the Dark God with hostility, and if they detected any trace of the Dark God, they would seek to eliminate it immediately.
