He knew that he only had one choice.

Regardless of whether or not you reject the demon, the angels will most likely stop paying attention to you.

He would never stoop so low as to help save his own mother over such a trivial matter.

And so... when the church doors were pushed open by a bunch of angels in human form, the boy, even though he still didn't completely trust Yu Ling, reacted instinctively and "slapped" his hand on the contract scroll, leaving his detailed soul imprint.

The three loyal believers who entered were immediately stunned by the angels beneath their skins. From the moment the contract was established, they could no longer sense Yu Ling's presence.

—In this world, there is something called 'divine intervention'.

In other words, the person being worshipped can briefly enter the believer's body, control the believer's body, and thus achieve various purposes. Before leaving, they can also leave some benefits for the believer, making the believer's faith more loyal.

However, during this period, whether it is an angel or a demon who descends from the heavens, they all use human identities and represent humanity. Unless they use the power belonging to demons or angels, they will naturally not be detected by other means.

Although Yu Ling is now a demon, after making a contract with this mortal, his state of 'possession' (what humans call being invaded by evil spirits) has changed to 'divine descent'. The crisis is over, and he just needs to hold back and not be tricked out by those psychological tactics that humans usually use.

"Is this really all right?" The contract was already signed, and it was too late to regret it. The boy dared not utter a sound, but could only use the soul communication of the contractor to ask Yu Ling, "They seem to be watching me! What should I do?!"

Although Yu Ling was in a 'divine descent' state, he did not control this body. He watched as the angels probed each of the humans present, acting as an observer.

He didn't speak, nor did he offer any words of comfort to the boy; he remained silent as if he had never been there.

It's perfectly normal for a human child who has just come of age to be a little nervous in front of important figures. Giving him acting advice would be superfluous and unnecessary; it would be better to just let him get away with it!

The red-haired boy, who had been used and discarded by Yu Ling without any response, was extremely nervous. He could almost hear his own heartbeat, but he could only grit his teeth and face it alone, hoping that Yu Ling would keep her promise and save his mother.

Just when everyone was going to great lengths to find Yu Ling and conducting a series of complex and detailed examinations.

Yu Ling, however, took advantage of this time to thoroughly digest the original owner's memories and secretly found the system. In the dimensional space created when signing the contract, she opened the system panel that was visible only to herself.

The benefits of the Elf Realm were still maximum, and the days that followed were luxurious and joyful. Yu Ling could say that her life as an elf was more comfortable than in any of her previous mission worlds. She was treated like a protagonist and enjoyed the benefits of her status.

However, the world doesn't seem so optimistic.

From certain details that the original owner didn't take seriously, Yu Ling unearthed an important message: the seemingly perfect human system was actually controlled by unseen forces behind the scenes. The peace was not so peaceful after all; there were low-level demons with no intelligence roaming around, believers of the forces of Heaven and Hell, and exorcists. The various parties were constantly at war, testing each other's bottom line.

This looks like a war is brewing!

In addition, according to the original owner's memories, a long time ago, he just happened to encounter a spatial rift in Hell that allowed him to easily slip into the human world. This was unusual in itself, and it was very likely that he was to be the cannon fodder who 'first violated the agreement', using this as an excuse to start a war in the human world!

Yu Ling: I don't want to show my face anymore. Although demons are powerful, the power of the Heavenly Dao's rules is unreasonable!

However, amidst the turbulent struggle, human technology has not lagged behind. Old-fashioned, slow-moving antique cars are already running on the roads, and there are even outdated versions of modern home appliances, and even flush toilets. But things like carriage theaters, which should have been phased out, are still there. The comfort level is quite good, and you can easily find a place to pass the time.

As Yu Ling pondered, she fiddled with the system panel, glancing at the system shop and her inventory before finally spacing out... Meanwhile, the system was enthusiastically planning Yu Ling's exciting life.

[Host, that gray, garbled entry ticket is a side quest reward from the previous world. I don't know which level it's from, but we've hit the jackpot! And this level is so comfortable it's comparable to the modern world, though it's frequently invaded by low-level demons from Hell. But they're practically useless to you, host. We can still easily complete a quest and happily grind for money!]

The system was talking enthusiastically, but when it saw Yu Ling browsing the shop for a long time but not buying anything, except for staring blankly at the blank character card, it immediately became alert.

The host is thinking so seriously, is he planning to mess things up? Or is he planning something new? In any case, he's definitely thinking of a bad idea, which won't do!

[Host...you wouldn't be thinking of creating an angel's body, would you? No way!]

"Oh?" Yu Ling didn't reveal her true thoughts, but simply asked in return, "Why?"

[Host, think about it. There are gods here, that is, God. Although it's half of the Heavenly Dao itself that's cosplaying, all the angels under his jurisdiction are kept locked up in Heaven and will never be released. Once Hell breaks the agreement first, you can ascend directly to Heaven after you're done!]

Ascending to heaven means adding another member to the forces of heaven. Instead of helping the demon body in the human world, it will be monitored and guarded. Not only will it be required to remain pure and kind, but it will also hinder Yu Ling's original body from surviving during battles!

Hitting yourself? That's unacceptable!
