Chapter 194 The Heavenly Snow Lotus Aims for Immortality 24 ...
"But this speed is still too slow," Zhang Xuelian thought to herself. With a quick thought, she began to disguise herself as ghosts and monsters to scare people.
Paper effigies cleared the way, a ghost bride made her way through, and a hundred ghosts paraded at night. In short, the news spread throughout Shanghai, and no one dared to go out.
They were terrified that the ones knocking on their door were ghosts or monsters.
Then she uttered another divine voice, making sure everyone could hear it: "By order of the Goddess, ghosts and monsters are forbidden within the territory of the Demon Capital." The next second, all the ghosts and monsters turned to ashes and disappeared, instantly boosting the reputation of the Goddess Temple to its peak.
Now, everyone in Shanghai knows about the Goddess Temple. Other temples and shrines are forgotten after you've finished worshipping there, but the Snow Mountain Goddess is truly a miracle worker.
Suddenly, Zhang Xuelian's cultivation level increased significantly.
Even though people from other places had heard about what happened in Shanghai and, after experiencing a series of ghostly frights, flocked to Shanghai for refuge.
Even the people in Bureau 749 knew about this, but at this point they couldn't care less about anything else. The ghosts were appearing more and more frequently, and if there was a place to take refuge, no matter what the "goddess's" purpose was, at least that area would be safe.
However, when the monitor detected that the ghostly aura above Shanghai was the least in the country, the group was still surprised. "Who exactly is this Snow Mountain Goddess?" For some reason, they thought of Zhang Xuelian.
Why did it have to be in Shanghai? That's really strange.
One of the members reported the news they had received: "Some people heard about this and spontaneously built a temple to the goddess, and she did indeed appear." This made everyone wonder what she really wanted to do.
Goddess, do goddesses really exist in this world? How come I've never heard of this Snow Mountain Goddess?
However, at this time, the Goddess Temple was built in Hong Kong without any scruples.
"I once saw the Snow Mountain Goddess. She saved me, and I believe in her," Que Heyu said to everyone. Even after so much time had passed, he could still remember the beautiful scene before he was on the verge of death. If it weren't for her, he might not be alive today.
In this matter, he was willing to believe her. Of course, at this point, they had no better choice.
Even if some of them could absorb the power of ghosts, they were still a minority, and their efforts were utterly insufficient against the ghosts and monsters. Especially since these ghosts and monsters were merely there to clear the way for the main army.
That's the scariest part.
In the end, the inspection team still agreed to let him build the Goddess Temple, mainly because the money was all provided by the Que family, and he was just issuing a notification.
At this point, they dismissed the idea that the Snow Mountain Goddess was Zhang Xuelian. How could she possibly be Zhang Xuelian? If she were, Que and Yu wouldn't have been so friendly.
After the group of people left, he looked at the images of the goddess that someone had taken online and wondered, "So this is what she looks like?"
Logically, he should have been overjoyed, but the image of Zhang Xuelian turning away without looking back came to mind.
My fingers involuntarily clenched.
How can she compare to the Snow Mountain Goddess?
[Anger Value +1,000,000]
[Complexity value +2000000]
[Complexity value +10,000,000]
If the Snow Mountain Goddess is a perfected image, then Zhang Xuelian is a worse one; she is wicked, paranoid, neurotic, and insane, making her repulsive yet impossible to kill.
But without a doubt, his feelings for the Snow Mountain Goddess were far more complex than those for the one he had only met once. He believed that no one else in the world would ever evoke such intense emotions in him as she had.
[Heartbeat Value +10000]
Stingy, yet very eye-catching.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuelian subconsciously raised her eyebrows. These past few days, she had been so engrossed in her love life and career that she had forgotten about this person.
She had thought she would lose interest in him, but this glimmer of emotion made her want to see him again.
Heartbeat Values? He can actually generate heartbeat values? Zhang Xuelian looked at the 10,000 heartbeat values and found it very strange.
Wasn't he the one who wanted to kill her the most?
The thought that he might like her even a tiny bit made Zhang Xuelian want to go find him again.
However, when she saw Cui Dong working not far away, she hesitated. It seemed he needed her protection more than someone with ghostly powers?
But surely no one would hurt him in Shanghai?
Zhang Xuelian couldn't help but wonder, what if he's too weak and not as aggressive as Que and Yu? What if he gets hurt?
So she was unusually conflicted, and after thinking it over for a while, she decided to look for him again later.
In the first round of the competition, Cui Dong narrowly won.
Since he was going to create a god, Cui Dong wouldn't wait for people to realize and start believing in him on their own, especially since they didn't have much time left. Compared to Zhang Xuelian, who was only half-baked, the shrewd and calculating Cui Dong clearly knew better how to gain more faith points, so he directly took her around the world to save people and spread miracles. He cared about himself even more than Zhang Xuelian did.
This was the first time she had ever met such a strange person. He clearly displayed an extremely strong possessiveness, so how could he go this far? Zhang Xuelian truly couldn't understand him anymore.
He probably hoped she wouldn't get hurt during this civilization invasion, and he didn't want her to be chased and struck by lightning every day. Cui Dong thought to himself, there are some things Zhang Xuelian doesn't want to admit, but that doesn't mean he can't guess. If she's a demon, it's not impossible for her to be chased and struck by lightning.
As for what happens next, we'll talk about that later.
As a result, there was at least one temple dedicated to the Goddess in every part of the country. Some were built spontaneously by the people, while others were built by Zhang Xuelian with a wave of her hand. But it must be said that because of the appearance of these temples, there were far fewer ghostly incidents. Even if there were, Zhang Xuelian would step in and kill them after hearing their prayers.
Those faith points restored one-twentieth of her original strength, which seemed like a small amount, but in reality, it was a lot.
However, this is also because those people have just started their faith, so their strength grows rapidly. Once they reach a certain level, they need to deepen their faith in order for their strength to recover.
However, this period of time was far from enough for her to recover to her peak condition, so she didn't completely rely on this incense offering. At least when Mantju invaded this planet, she still had to rely on emotional points.
So, she still tried to score points with Cui Dong, but it wasn't entirely about scoring points, because she saw that he was actually quite happy with her.
After all, she didn't truly enjoy being tortured, nor did she hate others for killing her. Cui Dong was arguably the kindest person to her, yet he was someone who caught her eye only because of his status as the chosen one.
Because of this, Zhang Xuelian wondered if there was any way to get him to cultivate. In the end, she spent three million emotion points to exchange for a secret manual of profound arts for him.
"Take these and practice. Although you can't beat some powerful ones, they'll be enough to deal with some ordinary ghosts and monsters."
Her goal has not changed: she will protect Lan Xing if she can, but if she can't, there's nothing she can do. At most, she can only protect him.
Mantju wants to kill her? Not so easy.
Cui Dong increasingly felt like he was living off a woman, but he didn't hesitate at all when he put the money away. "Thank you, Xue."

She did take his words to heart, and in order to prevent him from turning into that ghostly state, she specially found a safe spell for him.
She's so cute.
In contrast, in Hong Kong, Que Heyu was constantly suffering from the torment of ghost energy. Que Hanri, seeing that even in this state he still had to absorb ghost energy, said directly, "You're crazy."
The last thing that was replaced was his heart, and the one that was replaced recently was his arm. What will he replace this time?
Even though he had previously wished him dead, he still couldn't stand by and watch this matter.
"There are so many people on Earth, do you think you can be a savior? Let me tell you, Que Heyu, you are nothing."
Que Heyu's eyes shot towards him, a flash of black light passing through them before quickly returning to normal. He looked at the powerful hand and clenched his fist. "I'm not doing this for Blue Star, I'm doing this for myself." Rather than being the fish on the chopping block and him the butcher, he preferred to take the initiative into his own hands.
Instead of watching others protect you while you are at their mercy.
Upon hearing this, Que Hanri poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "But you will die. You think that by replacing your entire body, you will become stronger? You've seen what happened to those people." Becoming a monster, being killed by his own comrades—one day, he will become like that too.
Que Heyu: "That was my choice." If he were to face that S-rank monster again now, he would be able to defeat him.
There are many people like him. Whether there is a price to pay or not, one must have a choice before considering it. People who don't even know if they will have a tomorrow won't think so much. Therefore, Bureau 749 has produced several people who can rival S-class ghosts, and Bai Yiming is one of them.
As Cui Dong said earlier, one person's strength is ultimately limited. To overcome this difficulty, we still need everyone's joint efforts. Therefore, everyone in the army who can be armed is preparing for war.
Even ordinary people were taught what to do if they saw ghosts or monsters. They were told to either run to the temple of the goddess or use children's urine and black dog blood to ward off evil spirits, thus making everyone a soldier.
And so, three months later, the alien invasion arrived.
