The Consummate realm cultivators left the place without doing anything. The victim is Sravan and he is in no state to fight back or even talk for that matter.
As for his next to kin, Sai. He doesn"t want to pursue the matter any further.
So, they decided to just make a move.
They have a lot to do with the war. They have to deal with the aftermath and the first thing they have to do is eliminate all the traces of the church, including the left-over followers, the priests and high priests, their traces in the subordinate empires, everything.
Apart from that, they have to create new governments and authorities. They have to establish the chain of command, repair the damage caused by the church, and deal with a lot of things.
This will take months to complete.
But first and foremost, they have to compile the battle reports and all the details and record everything clearly so that the future generations will refer to this data if any similar situation arises in the future.
Sam also gave an announcement for the citizens to relax and went down to meet up with his friends.
They rested for the remaining day.
But the whole city was still in turmoil and particularly the higher-ups who are from the four major professions.
These people are the ones who wanted to get more share in the network when Sam is not here.
The problem was there in all four a.s.sociations and that is mostly due to the lack of Sam"s consolidation of power and chain of command.
It all started with Watt"s abduction. Due to that, Sam didn"t focus too much on the city and left the place right after it was opened.
He went to the thunder G.o.d temple since then, without any show of power within the city. These people grew tails and horns due to greed and felt like they are the bosses since they are the ones who are majorly operating the network.
But today, the Old One"s intervention was a wake-up call.
Even though they didn"t witness the battle, they did feel the presence of Old One due to his overwhelming aura when he attacked the city.
They knew that Sam made preparations, but they didn"t expect that they are to this extent, to kill a Consummate realm expert is completely out of their question.
They quaked in their boots at this situation.
In fact, this wake-up call worked for a lot of other people other than the higher ups, the workers, the citizens, and so many people.
Anyone who had doubts of any form regarding Sam got this wake-up call.
With a single incident, Sam consolidated his position and no one dared to harbor any thoughts against him.
There are some people who didn"t have any negative thoughts from the start and are even a little surprised when Sam dealt with such a powerful enemy. They are the people of the Dragon Hawk tribe and Sam"s battalion.
They are the most loyal workers under Sam.
They literally see Sam as an omnipotent G.o.d.
They are not even surprised that the strong enemy just died at the doorstep of the city.
The Next day, Sam and his friends woke up with dizzy heads. Particularly, Sam. He felt like he is having a hangover after a night of drinks.
After they got somewhat better, Sam is having some faint frustration.
He didn"t feel good about leaving Sravan like that, he was just there and Sam almost took his life. If not for the thunder G.o.d temple and the rest of the team intervening, he would have succeeded. He is really irritated by this.
But the energy charge in the city almost came to an end just for dealing with them. He still had a card or two, but the targets have to be within the city for that to work.
Currently, he is waiting for the thunder G.o.d temple to call him.
That"s right, he is waiting for the thunder G.o.d temple to call him. Not only the thunder G.o.d temple, but there is also a good chance that he would be called by the Six major powers.
Their number one enemy was killed right at his doorstep. There is no way for them to leave him alone. He has to make some preparations so that this trip would be safe.
Currently, in the whole world, Sam is the most uncontrollable variable. All this while, these major powers will not feel comfortable letting him out in open.
Particularly, after the two incidents of tearing down the beast faction, killing Old one, and almost killing Sravan, it would be weird if they don"t hold a meeting just to discuss how to deal with him.
But Sam didn"t stay on this topic for long.
He has work to do and this is related to future development.
He got the best opening he could possibly get due to the church and the war.
All the empires are at their weakest and there is a need for new authorities to enter the fray.
This is the best moment for Sam to enter these empires and take the market into control.
The n.o.ble families and such are almost eradicated and the economy of these empires is in its lowest state. There is no way for them to reject an offer given by him.
But for that, he has to enter the other empires and before that, he has to meet the major powers to get access.
Even before that, he has to make preparations.
Sam started giving orders and the production rate of the products increased. People are working overtime and there is even a new batch of workers that are recruited.
At this moment, for the sake of increasing productivity, the Old factories which are not used in normal days are also ordered to be opened and this made Philip remember someone.
Arman. He is still trapped in the Old factory for days.
He ran towards Sam and explained the situation.
Sam fell into deep thought; he knew what Arman had done. Either in the thunder G.o.d temple or in the western continent, Arman continuously pestered him and tried to mess with his plans.
He even dared to try and damage the city.
If it was anyone else, Sam wouldn"t hesitate to kill him.
But he is hesitating now, because of Arman"s ident.i.ty.
He is definitely not from this world and there are ten more people who belong to the same category.
From the Palace of inheritances, he understood that all twelve of them are in this world, because of different G.o.ds and there is a purpose for their presence.
Sam is extremely curious about it, but he couldn"t get any more information no matter the means.
There is only one more source of information left at this current state and that is the remaining eleven people.
That included Arman.
If he can find out about their situations in previous lives and how they are transferred here, he might make some sense of their purpose here.
There is also another reason, Sam has a divine dimension and there is no reason that these people will not have an equivalent treasure.
He is contemplating robbing, killing, or even leaving Arman completely.
He felt that there is a need for him to live and that is for two reasons. If Arman is alive, then he is an extra source of information. One way or other, there would be some information he would gather in the future from the G.o.d that sent him here.
He doesn"t want to miss that opportunity and the second reason is the future treasures.
Ling Tian, clearly told Sam that there would be future benefits from the divine dimension once he reached a certain level.
There is no reason for the other G.o.ds to not give their candidates these benefits of the same level.
If he killed Sam, not only would he make the G.o.d behind him his enemy, he will also lose out a potential chance of gaining these treasures.
But he decided that he shouldn"t leave Arman without any consequences and the best way would be leaving a shadow in his heart.
Just like how a high school bully traumatizes someone for the rest of their lives, Sam also wanted to be a bully that would make Arman quake in his boots just from a single thought of him.
He decided upon this and went back to work. Arman was captured and sent back to the prison in the city temporarily.
Meanwhile, Sam went back to the tower in the divine dimension.
The first step in proceeding further is setting the defense back in the city. Out of eight energy cell pillars, only two are left with some energy, the rest of them are wasted.
He only has five Spare energy cell pillars which he made in his spare time. So, he stayed within the tower to create the Energy cell pillars.
Meanwhile, in the meeting point of the Six major powers, they are all sending the teams to the empires to clean up the remnants of the church.
As for creating new governments, they can wait for a while, but there is another situation that can"t wait.
Now, they are in a meeting about Sam.
"What do you mean, he has to be eliminated? Do you think he is some sort of soft permission that would let you kill you as you please?"
Sai looked at the Usaine Sect head with a frown. The latter suggested that they eliminate Sam.
"So, what do you propose, he is a threat and a huge variable who can disrupt the balance of powers?"
"A small correction, he is a person who has the capability to disrupt the balance. Do you think, he just likes to kill people for fun, or do you think he has thoughts of conquering the world?
For the record, from the information I got, he never made the first move on anyone who has killed him. It was he who was provoked and later paid back.
That is the same situation even with the former emperor of Orion. I think Old thunder can justify my claim."
Thunder G.o.d temple head nodded at his words.
"Why are you supporting him so much? You should be the one that should be most angry. He destroyed the beast faction."
Sai took a deep breath and said.
"As I said, that was also done because one of us abducted his friend. He is not some bloodthirsty maniac."
"Then what do you suggest we do."
"I think, we need to talk to him first. We need to get details on Old One"s death and then we can discuss what his future plans are and what exactly his goal. He does have power, but he needs sufficient time to do something when he is up against people of superior strength.
So, we don"t have to worry too much about his tricks.
As far as I know, he will become an enemy only if we make him one."
"I will arrange a meeting, but I highly doubt he will come here, the meeting will be arranged in the thunder G.o.d temple."
Thunder G.o.d temple head said and everyone nodded.
