Feng Qi was deeply impressed by the statue that the Sheep-Headed Demon worshipped.
During the first few times he traveled to the world 1,500 years in the future, he did not have any abilities and could only hide when exploring the future ruins. He
did not have the strength to fight any creatures in the domain.
Until he met the Sheep-Headed Demon.
At that time, Xiao Hei was about to approach his area.
In order to find a target to delay Xiao Hei, he climbed up a tall building and began to select a target for Xiao Hei.
Due to limited time, he scanned the surroundings and found a humanoid life form with a sheep's head.
The result was unexpected.
Other domain creatures would take the initiative to attack when they met Xiao Hei, but the Sheep-Headed Demon ran away when he met Xiao Hei.
Fortunately, there was a domain monster tree along the way that blocked Xiao Hei, otherwise he would have almost left early.
Next, he followed the Sheep-Headed Demon all the way to the Sheep-Headed Demon's lair, where he found a statue that was being worshiped by the Sheep-Headed Demon.
At that time, he had no idea about the statue. He
just wanted the Sheep-Headed Demon to help delay Xiao Hei's pursuit and lure Xiao Hei into the Sheep-Headed Demon's lair.
This plan was undoubtedly successful. As expected,
Xiao Hei chased after him and fought with the group of goat-headed demons.
He wanted to take this opportunity to leave.
But the narrator reminded him to try to kill the weak life in the statue.
The narrator was unreliable most of the time, but he never failed at critical moments.
So he gritted his teeth and started.
The process was very dangerous. He even broke his own bones but failed to break the defense on the surface of the statue.
But in the end, he still killed the beating meat ball in the statue.
It turned out that the advice given by the narrator was very useful. After killing the life in the statue, he obtained the most useful violent talent "blood source" so far.
After opening it, his body will be wrapped in rich blood and qi, and his body will be recast, gaining a terrifying combat power improvement.
It was also from that time that his fighting style changed from "hiding, dodging, and running" to attacking. He
also gradually realized the unique violent aesthetics of close combat.
So he was impressed by the statue worshiped by the goat-headed demon.
(ps: The specific content is in Chapter 85: Blood Source Amplification)
At this time, looking at the statue in the center of the cobblestone square in front of him, he was stunned.
This statue of more than ten meters tall was different from the one-meter tall sheep-headed demon statue in his memory in many details, so he did not recognize it at first sight.
Only after a careful look could he be sure that this was the statue worshipped by the sheep-headed demon.
He was very confused about this.
He could not understand what the relationship was between the Dark God Cult and the gods worshipped by the sheep-headed demon.
There was a large blank in the middle of this information, and he could not connect the two pieces of information together and fill in the unknown content in the middle. After
a long silence, he turned his head and looked at the Lord of Mist beside him:
"Old Mist, have you found anything?"
Faced with the question, the Lord of Mist, who looked directly at the Dark God statue, nodded, and then said in a deep voice:
"In my perception of Qi and blood, there is a thin Qi and blood in this Dark God statue."
"Are you saying that this statue has life?" He asked tentatively.
"Of course not, if this statue of more than ten meters tall has life, the Qi and blood cannot be so thin. This Qi and blood is not even one-tenth of that of ordinary people, and it is not enough to support the operation of life."
Hearing this, Feng Qi suddenly thought of something.
When the Lord of Mist researched the efficacy of the miracle bracelet a few years ago, he once talked about how to use the miracle bracelet.
The specific process is to build a statue for yourself, and then leave a trace of consciousness and blood in the statue.
In this way, when believers worship this statue, they can obtain pure spiritual power, that is, "the power of faith" through the miracle bracelet.
"It seems that there are really domain forces harvesting human faith." Feng Qi said at this time.
Hearing this, the Lord of Mist nodded;
"From the rapid development of the Dark God Cult, this force may have a certain connection with the Psychic Clan, otherwise the Psychic Clan would not allow such a force to expand outward from the Old City... Of course, it is not ruled out that the Dark God Cult is a part of the Psychic Clan's future plan."
Just as the Lord of Mist was analyzing the situation, an old man in black clothes came from a distance.
He had a kind face and a kind expression, and he was holding a book with the Dark God pattern in his hand.
"Excuse me, do you want to join the Dark God Church and believe in the Dark God with us, or are you here to visit?"
"Old man, we are only visiting, not joining." The Lord of the Mist responded with a friendly expression.
"If you don't mind, I can be your tour guide and introduce you to the Dark God Church. Maybe you will change your mind about the Dark God Church."
Faced with the invitation, the Lord of the Mist did not refuse.
The route of building a hero's faith is inherently in conflict with the belief in gods.
Knowing more about the enemy will obviously help to launch targeted plans later.
Following the old man holding a book, they began to wander around the Dark God Church building complex.
Through the old man's narration, they learned that the total area of the Dark God Church's branch in Star City is 8,500 square meters, of which the building area is 5,900 square meters.
Compared with the various venues in Star City, this area is not large.
There are 80 full-time believers in the entire church.
The old man is one of them, and their daily expenses are covered by the headquarters of the Old City.
They can receive believer funds from the headquarters every month, and they are also promoters of the Dark God Church in Star City.
Thanks to their promotion, the number of Dark God Cult believers in Star City has now reached 4,358.
They generally have their own jobs, and only come to the Dark God Church to worship the Dark God devoutly when they are free.
The old man also said that these believers did not believe in the Dark God at first.
But after experiencing some things, they gradually believed in the existence of the Dark God and gradually became devout.
When Feng Qi asked what the experience was.
He got the same content as in the information.
It was nothing more than related to the recovery of illness and the improvement of physical condition.
Listening to the old man's sincere face telling the story of the Dark God saving believers, the Lord of the Mist suddenly interrupted at this time:
"Has the Dark God ever resurrected dead believers?"
Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately cast a puzzled look at the Lord of the Mist.
I'm afraid this remark is not to ruin the party.
The old man holding the book was also stunned, then shook his head and said:
"The Dark God will not interfere with the cycle of life and death, but devout believers will receive guidance from the Dark God in the afterlife and gain a beautiful new life."
After speaking, the old man pointed to the fountain not far away and said:
"This is the holy water of my Dark God Church. Long-term drinking has the effect of strengthening the body. You can try it."
Feng Qi and the Lord of the Mist heard it and immediately turned their heads to look at the fountain not far away.
"Then try it." The Lord of the Mist nodded decisively.
When he came to the fountain, he reached out and picked up the wooden bowl and scooped a ladle into the fountain pool.
After taking a sip, the Lord of the Mist nodded:
"It contains a trace amount of spiritual energy. Long-term consumption does have the effect of strengthening the body as you said." "
This has nothing to do with spiritual energy. The holy water in the fountain is blessed by the Dark God. If you don't believe it, you can find out if there are spiritual stones inlaid in this fountain."
The old man seemed a little dissatisfied with the Lord of the Mist's statement, but still explained in a humble tone.
The Lord of the Mist heard it and grinned but did not respond.
At this time, his sight passed through the marble surface at the bottom of the fountain pool and saw the engraved array patterns inside.
This was obviously a small spirit gathering array that could automatically extract nearby spiritual energy.
After continuing to follow the old man to stroll around the Dark God Cult branch for a while, they roughly understood the situation here.
The Dark God Cult's branch in Star City is currently in its infancy.
Compared with the Star City with a population of tens of millions, the number of thousands of believers is not worth mentioning at all.
But through the old man's introduction, they also saw the growth potential of the Dark God Cult.
Through promotion methods such as treating believers, the Dark God Cult will inevitably develop rapidly in Star City.
But the condition is that the number of believers reaches a certain base, and this sect will spread like a spider web in Star City.
As for the fact that the Dark God Cult has been rooted in Star City for several years, there are only thousands of believers now, which is also related to the environment of Star City.
Now they can basically be sure that there are psychic people behind the Dark God Cult.
After all, the psychic people entrenched in the Old Days City cannot allow an uncontrolled domain force to grow rapidly.
Even the Psychic Clan played a role in helping the Dark God Cult develop.
For example, media publicity, etc.
But in Star City, the Dark God Cult obviously did not receive such treatment.
After all, Star City is not under the control of the Psychic Clan, and it is impossible to manipulate the media to help the Dark God Cult.
The most important thing is that the media in Star City is resistant to this kind of divine theory.
Maybe there is indeed an incident where a believer's terminal illness is cured, but after the Star City media learns about this situation, they will decisively classify it as a "coincidence".
It is impossible to report such incidents.
The media is an important window to the outside world, including various information platforms, short videos, news media, etc.
These windows are important media for Star City residents to understand the world outside their area. If
the media does not report, the public will naturally not know.
In fact, Star City has been tolerant enough of the existence of the Dark God Cult, and it is impossible to promote it.
This has also led to the development of the Dark God Cult in Star City being in a bottleneck period.
But Feng Qi has reason to believe.
As long as the scale of the Dark God Cult's believers reaches a certain base, the subsequent expansion does not need media reports and publicity, and the pace of expansion will be completely taken.
After walking around the Dark God Church, they had a deeper understanding of the Dark God Church through the old man's introduction.
After leaving the Dark God Church branch, they boarded the Tiger Soul military vehicle that had been waiting outside, and then went straight back to the Tiger Soul headquarters. After returning
to the office in the core area, the Lord of Mist lay on the sofa with a thoughtful look on his face, and then said:
"The development of the Dark God Church in the Old City may be very smooth, but in our Star City there is no room for this sect to develop."
"Why, are you planning to take action against this force?" Feng Qi asked immediately.
"Of course, Star City is my territory. How can I tolerate them growing recklessly in my territory?"
"What do you plan to do?"
"Now most of the media in Star City are under our control. The promotion of the Dark God Cult requires a lot of positive reports. Now is the most difficult time in the early stages of the development of the Dark God Cult. Of course I have to deliberately discredit them. Do I still give them positive reports and publicity?"
"Aren't you afraid of being targeted by the psychics in the Old City by doing this?"
"Afraid, of course I am, but the psychics don't know that I am in control of the Tiger Soul Research Institute."
As he spoke, a sly smile emerged on the face of the Lord of the Mist:
"Aqi, sometimes you can't be too timid in the face of a challenge, even if you know that your opponent is far stronger than you, but there is one thing you have to understand, the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark."
"What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you this, if you come to an unfamiliar area and face the challenge of a mysterious force over there, and you have no idea what the strength behind this force is, what will you do at this time?"
Hearing this, he immediately understood what the Lord of the Mist wanted to express.
In fact, he had done this before in the previous timeline. In
that sacrifice line, he chose to fight against the Institute of Science and Technology, but the Institute of Science and Technology was very cautious about him.
If he hadn't committed suicide, the shadow behind the Institute of Science and Technology also said that they would not take any action against him.
Through that timeline, he understood a truth.
The unknown brings caution.
The Lord of the Mist obviously thought so.
Now he is in the dark, and the stronger he is against the Dark God Cult, the more cautious the forces behind the Dark God Cult will be.
After all, they don't know how strong the Lord of the Mist is.
Reality is not a novel.
All forces are hiding in the dark, and no villain will send forces to do it hard and try to kill the protagonist when the plan is obstructed.
The wisest thing to do at this time is to obtain intelligence.
Without knowing who the opponent is, reckless behavior may bring a series of unbearable consequences.
These field forces that infiltrate human civilization are obviously not fools.
Their goal is to lay out the future.
After looking at the long-term, many small things encountered during development will not be impulsive.
This point Fengqi has deeply experienced in many timelines.
The shadow forces behind the Institute of Science and Technology were the most cautious, and even took the initiative to retreat in the face of his repeated provocations.
The Lord of Mist was the king of hiding.
If he had not learned the truth 1,500 years later, he would never have thought that there was anything wrong with the Tiger Soul Institute.
The moment he saw the Lord of Mist snap his fingers with his own eyes, he realized how deep this guy was hiding.
He didn't have much contact with the Psychic Clan.
But it was obviously also a force that hid to the extreme, otherwise the Old City would have undergone earth-shaking changes long ago.
The forces in various fields have one thing in common.
They hide as much as possible and never go wild.
The only exception is the blue-skinned creatures.
He checked many traces of this mysterious force through the authority of the Tiger Soul Institute.
But they were all written records, and there were no pictures or video records.
The blue-skinned creatures are definitely a model of wandering.
In order to collect miracle items, they send their heads all over the world.
He saw with his own eyes that there were at least a hundred blue-skinned assassins killed.
In addition, other lurking forces in the field all take "stability" as the core concept of development.
The more powerful the Lord of Mist behaves in Star City, the more he can warn the psychics who don't know him.
It even makes the psychics realize that there are other forces in Star City and choose to retreat.
But there is still a question in his heart that he can't answer.
He wants to know who the Dark God is who is gaining the power of faith through the Dark God Cult.
According to the narrator's speculation, he killed the life form in the Dark God statue after 1,500 years, and the Dark God will be erased in the timeline.
Why does the Dark God still exist in this timeline?
He has two guesses about this.
Guess one, the Dark God in this timeline has been replaced by a new person, which is also the reason why the statues he saw have many different details.
Guess two, he killed the life in the goat-headed demon statue, but only absorbed part of the life force of the Dark God, not all.
What is the specific truth, he decided to continue to investigate this aspect.
Only by investigating the intelligence clearly can he in other timelines launch an attack.
Especially after having the miracle bracelet, maybe he in other timelines can obtain various abilities of the main timeline through the miracle bracelet.
For example, purple soul, blood source, evil thoughts, etc.
If the miracle bracelet can really transmit power across space and time,
as long as the intelligence is clear, other timelines can completely investigate more intelligence in an offensive way.
