617, Evil God invades Inglima

Charles's prayer was soon answered, and he saw ancient alchemists led by Mani descend one by one into the Jade Scroll.

He cast the Dead Sea Scrolls into the Jade Scroll, and quickly Mani appeared in the Serpent of Destiny's Great Temple. These ancient alchemists had become tightly bound to the Serpent of Destiny, becoming its Subordinate Gods. They were not complete deities, missing many key steps to godhood, but with the Serpent of Destiny's favor, the concepts condensed by Charles's novel could exist forever. Therefore, they were the ones who most hoped that the Serpent of Destiny would win this war and that Charles's novel would be passed down eternally.

As long as the Serpent of Destiny existed and Charles's novel was perpetuated, they could be like real gods. If one link was missing, they would have to return to the Jade Scroll or, even worse, because now the Serpent of Destiny possessed the Jade Scroll.
