Chapter 483 - 228 Black Gold Dragon Pattern Halberd!
The relations among the four sects of the Ember Church were extremely hostile.
Due to their belief in different Divines, they often erupted in conflicts, fighting over resources or basic believers.
Even within the same sect, disputes would arise due to different interpretations of their faith.
All believers tread upon the path of murderous faith, each considering themselves the orthodox.
Hence, the infighting continued unabated. The Divine had no care, even if it involved their own people attacking each other. As long as fighting occurred, He was pleased; He was not particular.
Therefore, the population of this sect was not large, as madness played some part in this.
Among other sects, the Blood God Sect held the most disdain for the Jile Sect.
The Jile Sect’s pursuit of sensory stimulation and extreme hedonism was considered utterly repellent by the Blood God Sect.
They chased after pleasure and exhilaration, constantly raising their thresholds. After experiencing pleasure once, the same action would feel numb the second time, similar to drug addiction, requiring heightened doses each time. Rapid withdrawal symptoms would afflict the believers, pushing them to try even more extreme methods of indulgence.
Such as copulation. To break new bounds in stimulation and pleasure, their believers would turn to licentiousness, then self-harm or brutal killings, all in pursuit of physical stimulation...eventually transforming into some grotesque creatures.
Their corrupting power was strong: sexual desires, appetites, power... these were seeds of corruption that could breach their psychological defenses.
