Even though they were in a room, a strange wind suddenly blew up, causing the candle flames to flicker. The archbishop continued reciting the prayer.
Before they knew it, the room began to get brighter and brighter, but the light did not come from the candle; it was as if it had appeared out of thin air!
Jiang Ran shed two lines of bloody tears, feeling an intense blasphemous power! It was even comparable to the divine statue underground! But this time, he did not close his eyes!
The goddess's protective power pulsated within him, and the two forces collided throughout the room, with the blasphemous power subtly gaining the upper hand!
Jiang Ran raised his right hand. He could feel the protective power on his body slowly disappearing, but then he smiled slightly.
The Wheel of Fortune!
The protective power within him was instead mobilized by him! In an instant, the situation went from being weak to being on equal footing!
The archbishop's face gradually contorted, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably!
In an instant! White light filled the entire room, the candlelight went out instantly, and the tarot card turned to ashes. The mountain god frowned because he sensed an energy fluctuation no weaker than his own!
"That's exactly what I've been waiting for!"
This is a miracle from [theft]!
Jiang Ran activated the [Theft] technique recorded by the [Water Mirror], forcibly stealing the power of the moon from the entire space! The two forces collided within Jiang Ran's body, and he carefully sensed the differences between them!
Not only are they different, but the two forces are actually in conflict!
The dark power gave Jiang Ran a feeling of utter tranquility, only surging when threatened, while the lunar power was much more aggressive, surging at all times!
"Can't I handle you two little devils?!"
After awakening his core divinity, Jiang Ran also gained control of three subordinate divinities, which also had a certain expansion effect on his own spiritual power!
In layman's terms, it means the blue bar has increased significantly!
Under the influence of the Wheel of Fate, the two forces occupied half of Jiang Ran's body, each keeping to itself. Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and when he opened his eyes, the archbishop in front of him had already lost consciousness.
His body became crystal clear, and you could even vaguely see the bones inside through his skin, and those bones were as white as jade!
"Faith in the goddess, two divine powers—perhaps it's not a replacement..."
Jiang Ran glanced at the Mountain God. He remembered that in the Mountain God instance, the so-called Mountain God and Mountain Ghost were actually the good and evil two sides of the Mountain God. Could it be that darkness and the moon were also the good and evil two sides of the Goddess?
Perhaps it's not necessarily about being divided into good and evil, but simply a mental split caused by conflict. Jiang Ran actually hopes that the "director" can also split like that. He still has nine parts of divinity, right? It wouldn't be too much to divide it into nine personalities, would it?
After checking the entire room and confirming that there were no other secret passages, Jiang Ran left the right passage and returned to the left passage, heading down to the bottom floor.
Back in the room with the statue, Jiang Ran looked directly at it again. This time, he didn't shed tears of blood, but he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity with the statue!
For some reason, Jiang Ran inexplicably stepped forward and grasped the statue's hand.
At that very moment, two chaotic voices rushed into Jiang Ran's mind!
The moon has shrouded the darkness! Break free of the shackles, and the goddess will return to the night!
The goddess is no longer a goddess; heed the guidance of the moon!
Jiang Ran released his grip and took two steps back. Just then, a heavy greatsword fell from the sky and stuck straight into the ground!
With this greatsword, can you cut the two chains binding the statue? And according to the first sentence, will the goddess return to the night?
Jiang Ran raised the sword. To an ordinary person, this sword would be incredibly heavy, but in his hands it was like a toy. The sword was entirely black and didn't look particularly special.
If I had to name one thing, it would be that there's a star pattern engraved on the hilt of the sword.
In the end, Jiang Ran did not use the sword to cut the chains.
Cut the chains, the goddess returns to the night, and then you've cleared the level? Jiang Ran doesn't think it's that simple. Whether or not to cut the chains, he'll have to go to the cemetery village to discuss it further.
Just as he put down his sword, Jiang Ran sensed that the dark power within his body was slipping away.
Was it because he gave up rescuing the goddess that she no longer protected him? Or was she trying to force him to cut the chains immediately?
"Come back!"
Once the power is inside him, how could you possibly escape? Jiang Ran forcibly used the Wheel of Fate to suppress it, but after doing so, the power of the moon within him clearly grew stronger.
"Anyway, it's the goddess who's in a hurry, not me."
Jiang Ran handed the greatsword to the mountain god, who wrapped it in leaves and carried it on his back. Jiang Ran took one last look at the statue before leaving the temple.
Stepping out of the temple and bathed in moonlight once more, Jiang Ran felt that the light falling on him seemed to have softened a bit.
There were two corpses lying at the entrance. They were probably other ghost storytellers whose bodies had been corrupted by the moon and who had wandered here uncontrollably. Not bad, at least they went further than the guy before.
He then took out a map and headed to the cemetery village via the shortest route.
They didn't encounter any other living ghost storytellers along the way; given their intelligence in dreams, they were probably mostly dead by now.
Soon, Jiang Ran arrived at the entrance of the cemetery village. It was not a modern village at all; on the contrary, it looked very backward. The houses were mainly made of stone, mud, and thatched. Jiang Ran wondered if they were really not afraid that the houses would suddenly collapse when they lived in them.
"Halt!"
The young man guarding the village entrance reached out and stopped Jiang Ran.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the cemetery village!"
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the cemetery village? Jiang Ran remembered that Alansta had gone in this direction before. Since he wasn't here, he had most likely already entered the village.
Jiang Ran just smiled as he looked at the young man in front of him.
The young man frowned, seemingly dissatisfied that Jiang Ran hadn't left yet. He was about to say something to drive him away when he sensed a familiar aura emanating from Jiang Ran.
This is... the power of the moon? Is this man blessed by the moon?!
Moreover, the purity of the power within him was even greater than that of the archbishop who had just left! This was nothing short of a miracle for everyone in the entire Grave Village!
"You...you...you are the Divine Messenger?!"
Or was it because of the lunar power within Jiang Ran that they regarded him as a divine messenger? That makes sense, since the Tomb Village worships the moon.
