Liu Sanniang frowned. She took the wooden statue and it shattered in her palm. The black smoke was thick, and Hu Yu immediately jumped away.

After the black smoke dissipated, Hu Yu patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

In just two months, the power of the Goddess of the Western Wild had increased countless times and was extremely terrifying. This wooden statue was like a poison that had already spread.

If the goddess was a tree, she would probably have extended her roots to the bowels of the earth. No one could move her. They had searched for the divine mountain for months but to no avail.

The people who had thrown themselves into danger did not realize this at all.

While they couldn’t find the divine mountain, the entire world was slowly turning chaotic.

Hu Yu said with a dispirited expression, “Venerable, what should we do? If this continues, will there be a place for humans to live in this world?”

Hu Yu could not imagine what the world would be like on that day. When all the living beings ceased to exist, the world would walk towards destruction.

However, the most heart-wrenching thing was that countless people were still living in the dream created by the goddess. They all yearned for a wooden statue and placed it in the most conspicuous place at home to worship. They hoped that the wooden statue could bring them a better life.

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. With just a look, the two of them understood each other’s thoughts. Chu Yan squeezed Liu Sanniang’s palm, and Liu Sanniang smiled. “We won’t look for her anymore.”

When Liu Yuanyuan and Lin Jie heard this, they understood.

Liu Yuanyuan said, “Yes, Venerable.”

Lin Jie smiled. “It’s time for me to showcase what I’ve learned over the days.”

Hu Yu was confused. “What? What do you mean? Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?”

Lin Jie said, “We are not going to look for the goddess anymore. Instead, we’ll break her illusion and let her take the initiative to come and find us.”

Hu Yu was a little excited. “I see. Then what should we do? I can’t wait.”

Hu Yu waited expectantly for Liu Sanniang’s instructions. Along the way, she saw that the commoners looked like they were possessed. She felt terrible.

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Set up an array formation to fight her.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “Let’s start with this town.”

They stayed at the inn.

As the waiter had said, as long as one had the wooden statue and sincerely believed in the goddess, they would have everything they wanted. Therefore, the food was delivered on time and was extremely good.

However, not everyone had this wooden statue. After the story of the goddess spread throughout the world, the rich controlled the wooden statues. People were divided into different classes. Not everyone had the right to believe in the goddess.

In the past, people chased after fortune and fame. Now, whoever could have a wooden statue of the goddess was superior to others. The people in the town were all extremely rich. Almost every family had a wooden statue. As they walked on the street, the fragrance of food filled the air, mixed with the fragrance of incense.

This was already a town that had lost its order and was completely polarized.

The rich become richer, and the poor become poorer.

In a few days, Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan had figured out the situation in this town and finished setting up array formations around the town.

After returning to the inn, Hu Yu took a sip of tea and said, “Venerable, it’s all done. What else should we do now?”

Liu Sanniang said with a smile, “Wait, wait for an opportunity to appear.”

Hu Yu casually grabbed a drumstick and ate it as she said, “Venerable, I don’t understand. Why did that waiter give us the wooden statue of the goddess? I thought this thing was very easy to obtain.”

However, after investigation, she realized that it was not that easy to obtain. In the beginning, it was indeed very easy, but not so anymore.

Liu Sanniang smiled and said calmly, “Because of greed, when it reaches a certain level, the carrier starts to choose the believers. The stronger the believers, the more spirits it can absorb.”

Fortunately, the array formation had been set up. As long as the goddess was no longer effective, people would wake up from the illusion.

The second day after the array formation was set up, the goddess that people believed in no longer fulfilled their wishes.

Because they could eat and drink without doing any work, people had already become lazy. Upon waking up this morning, they realized that their wishes were no longer fulfilled.

They prayed to the wooden statue devoutly, but the food didn’t appear.

By noon, people began to panic..
