Uncle Nine examined the purple Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand. After a moment's thought, he took out a large stack of various Taoist talismans from his pocket. Although these talismans were slightly inferior to the incredibly powerful purple Heavenly Thunder Talisman, they were all made by him and their power was still not to be underestimated. At least they were more than enough to deal with the demon horde below the city wall.
After weighing the yellow talisman in his hand for a moment, Uncle Nine turned to Gou Sheng and said solemnly, "Gou Sheng, take these yellow talismans and use them to eliminate as many demons as possible. You can get points for each one you kill. Otherwise, if the group leader takes action himself, we might not even get the leftovers."
Gou Sheng looked at the yellow talisman in his hand with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself: This thing can kill demons? It's just an ordinary piece of yellow paper with some mysterious characters drawn on it, how can it deal with demons?
Just as Gou Sheng was about to ask a question, Uncle Jiu casually tossed a yellow talisman down from the city wall. In an instant, the talisman transformed into a ten-meter-long blazing flame that shot straight towards the demon horde, instantly igniting a large area of demons.
Witnessing this scene, Gou Sheng was completely shocked. He never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous yellow talisman would contain such amazing power, far more powerful than the magic cast by those magicians.
Gou Sheng, full of anticipation, immediately imitated Uncle Jiu and solemnly threw out a yellow talisman. However, the expected flame did not appear, not even a spark. The yellow talisman simply floated slowly in the air for a few moments before gently falling and gliding lightly into the demon horde, like a leaf falling into a lake without causing any ripples.
This sudden contrast left Gou Sheng dumbfounded. His expression instantly changed from tense to embarrassed. He scratched his head, full of doubt: "What's going on? Why didn't the yellow talisman I threw out react?" He stared wide-eyed at his "failure" falling helplessly to the ground, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Left with no other choice, Gou Sheng turned to Uncle Jiu, embarrassed but also eager to know, and stammered, "Uncle Jiu, look... why isn't this yellow talisman working in my hands? Is there something I did wrong?"
Seeing this, Uncle Nine frowned and said, "It's definitely useless to just throw it down. You have to activate it first before throwing it down."
While fighting the demons, Uncle Nine accurately threw talismans at the enemies below the city wall, patiently explaining to Gou Sheng, "These yellow talismans don't work just by being thrown randomly. They are offensive talismans that require the user to inject magic power to activate."
Those of us with magical powers can directly unleash their power through our thoughts. However, ordinary people without magical powers cannot use such talismans.
"Of course, there are also some talismans that can be used without magic activation, but they need yin energy to be passively activated. Unfortunately, the demons below do not have yin energy, so the talismans can only be activated automatically."
After saying that, Uncle Nine's gaze lingered on Gou Sheng for a moment before he continued, "However, I see that you possess a special power within you. Although it is slightly different from the magic power we are talking about, it should also be able to activate these talismans."
"Try to concentrate and guide that power onto the talisman." His words stirred Gou Sheng's heart, as if opening a new door for him.
Gou Sheng frowned and muttered, "The power within me? Could it be..." This reminded him of that day, "Mother..."
Uncle Nine continued, "That's right, the power within you is indeed weak and unstable, as if it could dissipate at any moment. Moreover, judging from the nature of its energy, it doesn't originate from your own cultivation; it's more like some kind of external force injected into you."
However, you can try to enhance this power through the chat group function. This should give you basic control over it, at least enough for basic operations like activating talismans.
Uncle Nine's next words confirmed Gou Sheng's suspicions: the energy within him was definitely the divine power left to him by his mother.
......
The scene shifts to inside the temple. Alice looks surprised, her tone filled with confusion and hesitation: "Group leader, is everything you've said true?"
She found Chen Ping's earlier account of chat groups, time travel, and the will of Heaven utterly unbelievable. This information was undoubtedly a huge shock to her.
Chen Ping calmly replied, "Yes, all of this is true. Now you can try to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and see what its opinion is on this matter, and whether it is willing to let us lend a hand."
"After all, demons and you are all people of this world, and Gabriel and I are powerful enough to influence the victory of one side, but it is still up to Heaven to decide."
If Heaven does not allow them to intervene in this matter, then they can only accept the task of defending Holy Light City for 30 days in exchange for a guaranteed reward of 100,000 chat group points.
Although Gabriel and his own strength are more than enough to complete this task, this might cause Gabriel to miss an opportunity to improve his strength and gain a new opportunity.
However, such a choice is not something they can decide, since all opportunities originate from the arrangements of Heaven, and everything should follow the will of Heaven.
Alice frowned. When she first woke up, she was quite happy to find that the group leader had come to do the task, since the group leader was definitely capable of dealing with the demon.
But unexpectedly, there was another major twist? The relationship between the demon and them was actually like this?
Seeing Alice's uneasy face, Chen Ping gently comforted her, "Alice, you don't need to worry too much. In fact, because of your special identity—the daughter of the Heavenly Dao—the Heavenly Dao is very likely to side with you in resolving the problem."
Alice looked surprised: "Me? How is that possible? The will and decisions of Heaven would change because of me? That sounds incredible."
Chen Ping patiently explained, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try. You can try contacting the Heavenly Dao right now. As the daughter of the Heavenly Dao, you do have the potential to communicate with it directly. You might find that your influence in this matter is beyond your imagination."
"If you hadn't been dragged into a nightmare by the dream demon and couldn't wake up, you might have won this game on your own. Hmm, it seems the demons know you're a key figure?"
Although the Heavenly Way cannot interfere with the world, it can favor one person, and that person will be called the Child of the Heavenly Way. And that person is Alice.
