"What a pity."
Qin Sheng sighed, gazing at the golden light and pondering, "Is this the work of a demigod?"
As a mythical beast, the Taotie was already stronger than ordinary Venerables, not to mention that it had also devoured many of their characteristics.
Compared to the Venerable One, he is absolutely crushing.
However, even with all my strength, I couldn't do any damage to the shield.
"Master..."
Cao Guangxing let out a long breath, and his gaze gradually calmed down.
"That's right."
He retrieved the golden jade pendant hanging on his chest, which was now radiating golden light—the very source of the golden barrier.
"Speaking of which, let's start with the golden light that shines in the sky, the method that stops the strange beasts." Qin Sheng paused, "and the items in Qu Tiange's hand, plus what you have."
"It seems that the demigods have become much more resourceful."
“Of course.” Cao Guangxing and Qin Sheng chatted casually as if they were old friends.
"Demigods have already transcended the realm of humanity. If it weren't for the Azure Dragon's obstruction, they could even abandon this planet and travel the universe alone, roaming the stars."
"After all, it has already been associated with the word 'god'."
Qin Sheng nodded: "Come to think of it, this thing looks familiar..."
He slowly took out a pair of glasses, the gold-rimmed glasses he always wore.
It is also a special weapon that can directly unleash a small amount of power to create golden threads to suppress the enemy.
Although it can only deal with first and second-tier martial artists, it has similar functions to those in Cao Guangxing's possession.
"This must be in Qin Sheng's possession."
Cao Guangxing nodded: "These kinds of objects imbued with demigod power have been studied for a period of time, and many failed products have been produced. The one you have is one of them."
"I see."
Qin Sheng understood; it seemed his father had exchanged it at the research institute and then given it to him.
It casually tore off the white-faced rabbit skin from its face and threw it on the ground.
Qin Sheng calmly put on his glasses.
Cao Guangxing's eyes narrowed, and he took a deep breath: "It really is you, Qin Sheng."
"You already have a guess in your heart," Qin Sheng said casually. "Your suspicions about me were written on those blackboards just now. I guess you'll be able to draw a conclusion soon enough."
Cao Guangxing paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Just what kind of prodigy are you? How can you develop a gene serum in just one night? And still have time to research topics like living weapons and fake alien beasts?"
"Things are a little simpler than you think, but also a little more complicated." Qin Sheng paused, "It's also a little more complicated."
"So now you're not pretending anymore?" Cao Guangxing said coldly.
"Everything that needed to be done has been done; there's no need to continue covering it up."
His gaze swept around, but there was nothing left.
"Qin Sheng, what exactly are you trying to do?" Cao Guangxing questioned.
Because he simply couldn't understand how, if a prodigy like Qin Sheng were used for good, wouldn't the strange beasts be easily eliminated?
"You didn't realize it?" Qin Sheng rarely showed doubt.
"What?"
"It's all about luck."
Cao Guangxing shook his head: "What does it have to do with it?"
He knew that something like luck, similar to the will of the human race, existed, but the other party had never shown itself in front of Cao Guangxing, otherwise he would have been able to sense it.
After all, he almost single-handedly revealed that Qin Sheng was the leader of the cult.
While luck can influence human thinking, people with clear logic, like Qin Sheng, are easily aware that their thinking is being affected.
Cao Guangxing was also this type of person.
"That makes sense." Qin Sheng realized this. Ye Bufan's life trajectory hadn't reached Hualong City yet, so it was normal that Cao Guangxing hadn't realized it.
We've been chatting for a while now.
Qin Sheng looked at the layer of golden light and sighed, "It seems this thing will last longer than I expected."
"I'm just an ordinary person," Cao Guangxing said calmly. "I have to protect myself."
"I was hoping for a near-death experience, but I only managed a narrow victory." Qin Sheng said helplessly, "It seems the real battle will have to wait until next time."
"I'm dying..."
Cao Guangxing laughed: "Yes, without this shield, I would be a follower now, your puppet. Who could stop the Creation Cult from developing in the future?"
"To call it dying is indeed not an exaggeration."
"but…"
Cao Guangxing's gaze turned cold: "You're so focused on the attack, have you even noticed that you're about to be checkmated yourself?"
"oh?"
Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
"Since you're planning to use your identity as the cult leader to set up a scheme, have you considered how I'll react after you find out the cult leader is in District 11?"
Cao Guangxing said to himself, "Should we mobilize more Venerables to surround and kill them? Or seal off District 11 and investigate them one by one? Or perhaps something even more ruthless?"
"Qin Sheng, you are too confident. You haven't even considered the possibility of failure."
"I never imagined that while you were setting up my scheme, I was already deeply entangled in the game myself!"
Qin Sheng asked with a playful tone, "So, you're confident you can keep me here?"
"Do you think I'm a freeloader?" Taotie bubbled up.
I glanced at the Taotie beside me; it looked too much like a human.
“You’re not qualified.” Cao Guangxing didn’t mean to mock him; he was simply stating the facts.
"oh?"
Qin Sheng looked into the darkness: "Didn't Qinglong have his eye on a demigod? Are you going to make him make a move?"
"Just a blue dragon."
Cao Guangxing squinted: "In the end, the Azure Dragon is just a beast without intelligence. It's just that its strength is too terrifying, so there's always a way to deal with it."
"But you, Qin Sheng, are different."
"The future of the Creation Cult rests on your shoulders. This terrifying cult may become the master of the world in your hands."
