Ma Lin's power had also been expanding continuously.
As the high priest of the Adventure God's Egg, now that the adventuring industry was flourishing all over the Odro continent, he found his fame ridiculously exaggerated.
The residents of remote areas, uneducated and superstitious, merely thought the high priest was an incredible figure. When praying to the Egg, they would also pray to Ma Lin by chance.
Thus, Ma Lin basked in the Egg's limelight, reaping a large following of believers.
He felt his combat strength getting stronger and his Divine Arts becoming more intricate.
There's a saying that even when you beat a dog, you must look at its owner. With the backing of a strong supporter, Ma Lin, as the Egg's lackey, enjoyed boundless glory.
The ruling class in Nine Heavens City was extremely angered by this. They saw a certain decline in their power, believing their strength had been stolen by the deities of Central Sky City.
Was Ma Lin happy about this?
Extremely happy.
