On the Heishan, Mu Qingying's true spirit knelt on the ground, her head buried in the black mountain body, not daring to face Su Tu directly.
Her entire body was trembling uncontrollably with excitement.
As the moonlight from the Blood Moon enveloped her true spirit, Su Tu's figure imprinted itself into her true spirit like a deity high above.
It was as if a twisted concept was instantly infused directly into the origin of her true spirit.
In her eyes, Su Tu seemed like a god who created everything, the world filled with suffering, the Immortals nowhere to cleanse the world's filth, only by following the Venerable God could one glimpse the truth of everything.
Seeing the system prompts and the fanaticism in Mu Qingying's eyes.
Su Tu didn't need to think to know who was responsible.
"Was it you?" He looked up at the Blood Moon, though it was a question, he already had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, the Blood Moon, like a child wanting to be praised after doing chores, emitted an aura akin to coquetry.
The moon acting coquettishly is indeed strange, but Su Tu was already accustomed to it by now.
"Not bad, not bad, our little moon is really capable~" He praised the Blood Moon.
But the Blood Moon's aura paused, showing a bit of dissatisfaction.
Only then did Su Tu remember that besides the Blood Moon, there was also a Hao Yue; this Blood Moon was quite petty, not willing to share the praise.
"Our dear Blood Moon is the most capable."
Su Tu, like comforting a child, spoke again, only then did he receive a satisfied emotional response from the Blood Moon.
Mu Qingying's condition was caused by the Blood Moon, it was quite obvious.
This fanatic appearance, somewhat like the followers of the Three Deceits Cult, except they worship the three gods, while Mu Qingying's eyes only had Su Tu.
The Blood Moon has not only devoured the remnants of the Blood Mother's faith but also the gaze of the Bone Father.
Thus, perhaps acquiring some ability, Su Tu had speculated this before, but he hadn't expected that the ability Blood Moon acquired was to turn others into its own followers...
Two hundred skill levels, still quite appealing.
"Stand up." Su Tu said to Mu Qingying.
Originally, he had already harbored murderous intentions, the worst outcome being the annihilation of Mu Qingying's true spirit within his own inner world.
But now it seemed, there was another way.
"I dare not gaze directly at the true form of the Venerable God."
Mu Qingying said reverently, remaining kneeling and motionless on the ground.
"It's okay, I grant you the opportunity to face me."
Su Tu looked at Mu Qingying, his voice becoming hollow and sacred.
Honestly, if it were before, Su Tu definitely wouldn't have spoken such divine charlatan words, but since having the experience of playing a part in the Three Deceits Cult, this level of performance came almost naturally.
He even felt he was close to unlocking the skill [Acting].
And at this moment, hearing Su Tu's words, Mu Qingying's body trembled with excitement.
"God... grants me the honor of facing Him!!"
She could hardly believe her ears, after confirming several times she hadn't misheard, she felt as though her true spirit was marked by seismic vibrations.
What immense honor to be able to face the Venerable God!!
She slowly lifted her head, looking at Su Tu, her eyes filled with fervent faith.
Su Tu even thought, if he were to order her to commit suicide with just a word, she wouldn't hesitate.
Whether in a past or present life, faith wields unimaginable terrifying power.
"Having seen the Venerable God, I have no regrets in this life..."
Mu Qingying murmured, a prodigy turned into a fanatic follower of Su Tu under the Blood Moon's light.
"Why do you desire to peer into my heart and spirit."
Su Tu asked, wanting to know why despite it being their first meeting, Mu Qingying was so interested in his heart and spirit.
Hearing Su Tu's question, Mu Qingying was unreserved, directly recounting all her thoughts at the time, including the characteristics of the anomaly [Morning News].
She harbored no malicious intentions, merely simple curiosity, and wanted to take a peek, not expecting it would lead to this state.
Su Tu looked at Mu Qingying, feeling that things were a bit difficult to handle.
With her current level of fanaticism, she would definitely not disclose anything about the scenes within his inner world.
However, if her true spirit were allowed to return, with her current state, seeing Su Tu would prompt ritual worship, even a fool would know something's amiss.
As Su Tu pondered on how to handle Mu Qingying.
The Blood Moon transmitted a stream of information.
It was about methods of manipulating faith; looking at the information before him, Su Tu's eyes lit up.
"Listen closely, once your true spirit returns, you will forget everything, forget me, this is my divine decree."
"Yes, the Venerable God's command is my everything."
Upon receiving Su Tu's decree, Mu Qingying's eyes erupted with astonishing brilliance, as if she had received some divine mission.
Believers will give everything to the Venerable God.
All her cognitions would change due to Su Tu's single sentence, and transition and correction would be perfect, not even a Daoist Master could detect any flaw.
Unless there were those supreme beings able to touch the timeline, otherwise, no existence could know the changes upon her.
Even Mu Qingying herself would forget that she is a follower of Su Tu.
Yet her essence, her fundamental nature, would still be a fanatic follower of Su Tu, whose heart and spirit Su Tu could perceive at will, capable of shattering with a mere thought.
It was as if her life was already in Su Tu's grasp.
This is the mighty power of faith.
"Thus, return now."
Su Tu spoke, permitting the true spirit to leave. Accompanied by Mu Qingying's repeated bows and kowtows, her true spirit vanished from Su Tu's inner world.
"It seems that in the future, if someone breaks into my inner world, besides feeding them, converting them into followers is not a bad option either."
Su Tu mused, stroking his chin.
It wasn't that he wanted to become some church deity, but converting a follower yielded 200 skill levels, which was much more than improving by consuming candy.
However, it might be because Mu Qingying was the first follower that the proficiency increased so much, possibly possessing non-replicable traits.
In any case, now Su Tu's divine abilities finally had a capability, albeit... with a skewed direction.
Though acceptable, according to the Blood Moon's feedback, converting followers was merely a foundational ability, the true capability was yet to be mastered.
"Tsk, you have absorbed both the Three Deceits Cult's faith and can convert followers, you wouldn't happen to be their three gods, right?"
Su Tu said half-jokingly.
However, with the utterance of this sentence.
Boom boom boom!!!
The entire inner world erupted with an astonishing bloody hue as if the words had touched a taboo of the Blood Moon, causing it to burst forth with unprecedented bloody light.
The light, like a sea of blood, swept across the entire realm of my true self.
"Wah wah wah~"
A sound like a child crying, with a sense of grievance, reached Su Tu's heart.
The Xue Yue seemed like a wronged child.
It felt that Su Tu comparing it to the Three Gods was an insult to it.
Su Tu hurriedly soothed the Xue Yue.
But the big cat and Little Green just looked at Xue Yue with disdain, their playful eyes seemed to be speaking...
Hmm~ The scolding seemed rather dirty.
After comforting Xue Yue for a while, Su Tu also reminded Little Ba to work hard, and then he exited the realm of his true self.
Consciousness returned.
After resolving the issue with Mu Qingying, he relaxed and began to properly explore his room.
Not to mention fatty Zhuge's envy, there were many devices Su Tu himself had never seen before.
In the bedroom, there was an oval-shaped sleep pod. When activated, it would put the user into the deepest sleep, completely eliminating fatigue, slightly enhancing the purity of Heart and Spirit, achieving the best rest effect in three hours.
Su Tu just wanted to try out the effect of this sleep pod.
Ding-dong~
At that moment, the doorbell rang from downstairs.
Someone came to visit him, which dispelled the thought of trying out the sleep pod.
He went downstairs to open the door, and it was Zheng Peng who came.
The bruises on his face had already disappeared.
Su Tu couldn't help but curiously observe his face. In just an hour, it had recovered completely; this recovery speed was a bit astonishing.
Feeling Su Tu's gaze, Zheng Peng forced a smile helplessly.
"I'm already recovered, stop looking at me like that. I feel like you want to punch me a few more times."
Hearing this, Su Tu chuckled awkwardly.
Hmm... If a fight could increase Skill Level by 200, Su Tu indeed wanted to fight more...
"Let's go, I said I'll take you for a meat body detection."
Zheng Peng gestured generously.
In the exchange mall, Su Tu saw the price for meat body detection. Each test required 5000 Points, and one had to be a B-level student or above to qualify for exchange.
Su Tu couldn't help but admire Zheng Peng's generosity and broad-mindedness.
"Thank you, Brother Peng."
Su Tu said.
"Brother Peng! Hmm!! Yes, that's it!" Zheng Peng's eyes brightened upon hearing Su Tu call him that.
His judgment wasn't wrong, this kid actually occupied an S-level position. He would surely achieve great things in the future. Investing a little now would grant him face, and there might also be real benefits later.
Being called Instructor had some prestige, but being called Brother Peng signified a closer relationship. Once Su Tu soared high, he'd naturally follow.
Profit!!!
Zheng Peng thought to himself.
Then he took Su Tu to undergo the meat body detection.
The meat body detection area was on the same floor as the medical area.
As Su Tu and Zheng Peng arrived, they saw Chang Ye leading a female student out of the infirmary.
The female student was none other than Mu Qingying, who had just left Su Tu's realm of true self.
At this moment, she appeared somewhat weak but her Power of the Heart and Spirit was vigorous.
Beside her, Chang Ye was enthusiastically asking her questions.
Just then, Mu Qingying looked up at Su Tu, and Su Tu's gaze happened to meet hers. Their eyes locked for a moment before they looked away.
Through Mu Qingying's eyes, Su Tu could confirm that she had truly forgotten everything, and this was the power of faith.
It's also why the Three Deceits Cult is hard to eradicate.
Because once they genuinely wish to hibernate, the power of faith makes them forget everything.
At this moment, Mu Qingying indeed remembered nothing.
She looked at Su Tu, feeling that he was so trustworthy. Although she wasn't infatuated, just a glance at Su Tu would bring his figure back to mind.
"Admiring the powerful?"
Mu Qingying found an explanation for herself, thinking her emotions were due to admiring the powerfulness, considering Su Tu as one of the only three S-level students in the training camp.
"Qingying, where did your True Spirit go just now!"
"Did you see any gods or immortals?"
Chang Ye asked excitedly.
Seeing God nearby, Mu Qingying must have seen something.
Hearing Chang Ye's words, Mu Qingying was a bit dazed. She remembered nothing; everything was vague, as if she had just been in a daze.
She wanted to tell Chang Ye that she saw nothing.
But inexplicably, a towering illusion appeared before her eyes, sitting among the life and death of everything, lying outside the river of time, like the beginning of all, yet also like the end of all.
The illusion came and went quickly, leaving Mu Qingying unsure if it was an illusion of her daze.
"I am not sure, but it seemed I saw a god from the past in North Sea, He..."
Instinctively, Mu Qingying associated it all with her knowledge of North Sea, recounting everything she felt and saw to Chang Ye.
Listening to Mu Qingying's words, Chang Ye's eyes grew brighter, his eyes like panda eyes glowing brilliantly....
...
The meat body detection device looked similar to an X-ray scanner from the outside, but its structure was extremely complex, with dense data and instruments constantly changing around it.
"Just lie down,"
a staff member in a white coat instructed Su Tu.
Su Tu nodded, lay down, and a soft light surrounded him, the sound of the machine starting buzzing in his ears.
He felt the soft lights scanning his veins, blood vessels, and muscles.
Before Su Tu could marvel at the wonders of this machine,
suddenly, the system prompt popped out, making Su Tu freeze.
