Chapter 172 The Star Hall Pope\'s Choice
When faced with the two choices given by Alister, the Star Hall Pope wanted to refuse since he was loyal to the Star God, but the problem was that the Star God was dead.
Although it was only the death of the Star God\'s avatar, the Star Hall Pope knew that even if the Star God could send another avatar, the limit of this world\'s power level would prevent the Star God from possessing a higher level of power than before.
In other words, the previous combat power shown by the Star God was the Star God\'s strongest state in his avatar form. And even that powerful state was easily defeated by Alister which caused the Star Hall Pope to dare not make a hasty decision out of impulse.
\'Furthermore, this monster defeated the Star God\'s avatar in just under a minute and he didn\'t even suffer from any injuries nor exhaustion. Facing such an existence, the Star Hall will easily be destroyed and my daughter and loyal subjects will die with me which I cannot afford.\'
\'The Star Hall without the Star God is still the Star Hall. The Star God rarely interfered with the Star Hall\'s development and rarely contributed as well. The Star God only used the Star Hall as his faith power generator and if not for my insistence of sacrificing the Star God Avatar star artifact just to summon his avatar, the Star God might have only descended with his avatar after the destruction of the Star Hall.\'
\'After all, the Star Hall is just one of the many faith power generators that the Star God has. So even if one is lost, the Star God could care less about it. Sigh, the Star God is indifferent to the lives of ants such as myself.\'
\'Since the Star God doesn\'t care much about my Star Hall, why care about the Star God? He was already defeated and he might not even descend into this world in fear of being humiliated again.\'
\'If I foolishly keep my loyalty to the Star God who might not even descend to this world and protect the Star Hall, then all of the star masters under the Star Hall will suffer.\'
\'The Star Hall without the Star God is still the Star Hall, but the Star Hall without the star masters is not the Star Hall. The faith in the Star God can be abandoned since he is just a selfish god who doesn\'t even care about the lives of his subjects, but the star masters under the Star Hall cannot be sacrificed just because of my foolishness and impulses.\'
\'Not to mention, the second choice given by this monster is not even death but eternal torture! Although it\'s doubtful whether eternal torture can exist since it\'s almost being in a state of immortality while being tortured, with how abnormal this monster is, I dare not test whether it\'s true or not.\'
\'Since he had given me a choice instead of just directly destroying the Star Hall, I might as well accept and let the Star Hall live a little bit longer and see whether I made the right choice or not.\'
With those thoughts in his mind, the Star Hall Pope sighed and replied to Alister, "I will submit to the Hong Clan. However, I cannot guarantee that the rest of the members in Star Hall will listen to me especially when I have already lost my power."
"Instead of listening to me, they might even just leave the Star Hall now that the Star God has been defeated. Some of them might not even believe that the Star God is defeated."
When faced with those words from the Star Hall Pope, Alister already expected it, "No worries. Even if you lost your Star God Avatar star artifact, I can still bestow you with another god-grade star artifact and restore your star cultivation base to Level 99 Revered Constellation."
To prove his point, Alister took out the god-grade Holy Armor star artifact from his system inventory. He only had one copy of this but as long as he became the World Master of this world, he could technically make as many copies of star artifacts as he wanted but it depended on the world energy.
However, when Alister took out the god-grade Holy Armor star artifact, the expression on the Star Hall Pope\'s face turned grim!
"Did you kill my father and deprive him of his star artifact?"
When faced with that question from the Star Hall Pope, Alister shook his head, "Of course not! As I have said before, I only sealed the star cultivation bases of the Constellation Palace. They are more useful to the Hong Clan if they are alive rather than dead."
"As for how I got this, you aren\'t qualified to know. Just know that I am more mysterious than the Star God and I have more means than the Star God. Unlike the Star God, I will treat my subordinates well and you all will get excellent benefits."
Hearing Alister\'s words, the Star Hall Pope sighed in relief.
After all, he knew that Alister wouldn\'t lie to him especially when such a lie could easily be exposed after he met up with the Constellation Palace.
Noticing that the Star Hall Pope didn\'t disagree with it, Alister immediately transferred the god-grade Holy Armor star artifact to the Star Hall Pope along with a Level 99 Revered Constellation star cultivation base.
If it was in the Transcendent World, he could only create one Level 99 Revered Constellation star cultivation base every night.
But in the Martial Arts Fantasy World, Alister wasn\'t limited to the insufficient astral energy in the Transcendent World.
Even if it was daytime currently, Alister\'s Astral Energy Refining Technique was so advanced that he could still extract astral energy during the daytime. But this would only work in the Martial Arts Fantasy World and not in any other worlds.
Although the stars were present even during daytime since they were present in outer space regardless of the day and night cycle, the laws of the world of different worlds were still different and his Astral Energy Refining Technique worked best in the Martial Arts Fantasy World.
With that in mind, Alister didn\'t hesitate to bestow the Star Hall Pope with power!
