Xia Chuhe had just finished decorating when the loudspeaker by the wall blared again.
Xia Chuhe looked at the table next to the futon. He couldn't see it clearly from the ground, but now that he was closer, he could see that there were various control buttons on the table—such as [Open Door], [Phone], and [Notify].
Following the instructions from the High Priest's memory, Xia Chuhe tapped the [Phone] button.
"High Priest, those people are too vigilant; our sneak attack failed. But they haven't left. Why don't we send the entire guard force over here and take them down by force?"
Judging from the voice, it's the same person from before.
This is the person who directly caused Lu Dangui's death.
Xia Chuhe felt a chill run through her body. She lowered her voice and said only two words: "Return immediately."
She couldn't imitate the high priest's voice, so she could only speak as little as possible to avoid making mistakes and minimize the other party's suspicion.
The person on the other end hesitated for a moment: "Aren't we going to kill them?"
Xia Chuhe hung up the phone and waited quietly.
Before long, Xia Chuhe suddenly turned around and fired five shots at the wall, emptying a magazine.
The bullets she used were special bullets that could counter evolved humans and mutated beasts.
A stream of fine soil fell out of the bullet hole, then fell faster and faster, and more and more, until the fine soil piled up into a small mound.
As the mound grew larger, the rate at which the fine soil fell off slowed down, eventually stopping completely.
With a soft "bang," the mound on the ground exploded, turning into a flat, human-shaped object.
The face is humanoid with five bullet holes, one of which is right between the eyebrows.
We cannot judge evolutionaries by common sense.
Although in the High Priest's memory, the evolved beings were always very respectful to him and would only knock before entering.
Xia Chuhe, worried about being exposed, took extra precautions. What if the evolved beings, like her, slipped out through the wall?
To prevent this from happening, Xia Chuhe specially placed extremely low-temperature flames on all six sides of the room, so that she could immediately sense any unusual movement in the flames.
Sure enough, the man became suspicious.
Xia Chuhe let out a soft sigh of relief.
Lu Danggui's revenge was only half complete.
Xia Chuhe sent another message to Li Qiusheng: [I've cleared some of the danger, you can come back now, but please be extra careful in case someone tries to ambush you.]
At the same time, Xia Chuhe used the button on the table to send a notification:
On this holy day, in this solemn place, we are inspired by the gods and guided by them with pure hearts. We have specially appointed four pure sons (Li, Bu, Wang, and Xia) to serve as guardians of the temple, so that with their loyal hearts and courageous will, they may protect this holy land from the invasion of evil.
The chosen ones will soon descend upon the temple. From then on, the four temple guards will be bathed in holy light, wielding justice, becoming the temple's unshakeable pillars, fulfilling their mission until the end of time.
This is the will of the gods, witnessed by heaven and earth.
The notification was sent out, and feedback quickly appeared on the screen on the table:
Clothing has been prepared
Rooms are ready
...
Four new guards have been recruited.
Xia Chuhe successfully brought the four people to the temple after a series of maneuvers.
It must be said that this is one of the advantages of divine authority: it makes everything much easier to do things in the name of God.
Xia Chuhe summoned four newly recruited guards to the room. In front of them, he burned the bodies of the former high priest and the earth-escape evolutionist, and collected their ashes so that the four of them could take them out later.
Xia Chuhe asked Bu Yi, "Can you ask about my future now?"
Bu Yi's expression was serious: "Very ominous."
Xia Chuhe: "What if I leave the Temple of Heaven?"
Bu Yi: "Great disaster."
Xia Chuhe: "What if I stay?"
Bu Yi closed his eyes and uttered two words with difficulty: "Very bad."
This outcome no longer has any impact on Xia Chuhe.
She also used her divination ability today, and the answer she received was, "Your future is bleak."
The result of the inquiry seemed to confirm the mockery of longevity—you are about to die.
If life is about to come to an end, Xia Chuhe would rather live the remaining days as wonderfully as possible.
She established the general rules and regulations for the Heavenly God Temple:
They recruited their own people to gradually replace the original guards, worshippers, and servants in the temple.
Increase the guards of the Heavenly Temple, maintain trade with the upper echelons, and simultaneously enhance your own military strength while keeping them in a state of complacency.
Conquer the Heavenly Temple, the Food and Amusement Park, and the Dream City to completely control your own territory.
Although he had a general outline, Xia Chuhe did not intend to do these things himself.
In the days to come, she would learn from Boss Xin, skipping all the dungeons and factions, and following the route planned by Zhu Guanshan, she would go straight to the place where Xinghuo had once stayed.
As for the selection of the high priest, Xia Chuhe entrusted it to Bu Yi.
Li Qiusheng and Wang Yan also wanted to stay and help.
Bao'er is even less likely to be taken along; not only that, she needs to be sent back to the food and amusement park. For Bao'er, the safest place is where the nameless people are.
Xia Chuhe had to walk the road to Xinghuo alone.
Xia Chuhe made all the necessary arrangements for the development of his power, but he did not tell them that he was leaving alone.
Bu Yi was unwilling to accept the identity of the high priest: "I have never been a high priest, so I can't pretend to be one. Besides, I have only just become a guard. If I disappear now, people will be suspicious."
"It's alright, Guard Bu is going out to fulfill her mission." Xia Chuhe had already paved the way for the group.
The sudden appearance of four guards will definitely make the old guards uncomfortable. Only by nominally sending them out on missions can we silence the others.
Xia Chuhe advised Bu Yi: "You have the ability to ask for good omens, so you are perfectly suited to impersonate the high priest. You will always make the best choice."
Bu Yi remained silent, somewhat persuaded by Xia Chuhe.
Besides Bu Yi, the other three also took advantage of the mission to change their way of being.
Wang Yan escorted Bao'er back to the food and amusement park, while Li Qiusheng pretended to leave but actually used earth magic to return.
"Sister, what about you? Aren't you going to see me off?" Bao'er clung to Xia Chuhe's leg, refusing to let go.
Xia Chuhe pinched Bao'er's little face: "I'll stay too, as a guard."
Xia Chuhe stayed behind to help the Heavenly God Temple recruit new people and eliminate the original elders.
When the proportion of newlyweds in the temple reached one-third, Xia Chuhe quietly left on an ordinary night.
She followed the path that Zhu Guanshan had originally planned for Xin Diao and went directly through the Valley of Villains.
With Li Qiusheng's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability that allows one to escape through earth), Xia Chuhe's speed is even faster than Xin Diao's.
She arrived at the site of Xinghuo in just two days.
