Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw a rose-gold hexagonal crystal emerging from between the eyebrows of the deity in the portrait in the center of the hall.
Only then did everyone notice the incredibly lifelike painting of the Heavenly God's Chair Pine Tree.
The person in the painting looked extremely familiar.
Just like... Ji Fengming and Ji Fengyao are blood relatives, they are quite similar in appearance.
What shocked everyone even more was the incomparably holy aura emanating from the rose-gold hexagonal crystal.
Even without any intentional pressure, it can genuinely inspire a desire to kneel and worship.
That sacred aura carries a joyful vitality, naturally dispelling the sadness and darkness in people's hearts.
Even the life force that Black Owl had previously dissipated was now flowing back into his body, causing his eyes to regain their focus.
Ma Chengrao even knelt down and worshipped.
The eerie heartbeat that freed everyone from the illusion also emanated from this rose-gold hexagonal crystal.
A quarter of an hour ago, Ji Fengming collapsed in a pool of blood.
His soul had just left his body when it was drawn into another room.
The room looked like a person's living room, decorated in a very simple and elegant style, and exuding an ethereal atmosphere.
On the octagonal table in the room stood a little girl dressed in ancient costume, no bigger than two palms.
Next to the little girl was an ice-colored box, only the size of her palm.
Upon seeing Ji Fengming, the little girl bowed with a mixture of excitement and trepidation, saying with equal hesitation, "Your life essence is perfectly aligned with the master's divine essence, so you are the new master of the temple! Xiao Kui greets the master!"
"So this is what you look like, you little brat!" Ji Fengming felt nothing but hatred for the culprit who had killed him, even though the little girl was cute and adorable.
But that doesn't negate all the teasing and threats she had previously made against him!
"What life essence, what divine status, what master? Don't give me that nonsense. As you wished, you've driven me to my death. Now you can release them, or find someone else to take your test, right?" Ji Fengming wanted nothing more than to smash this little brat to pieces with a hammer!
—If he hadn't realized that she clearly had no physical form and couldn't be killed by hammering, then...
"Xiao Kui doesn't have that authority, Master," the little girl said, looking at Ji Fengming with fear and pity.
If you only hear her voice, no one would imagine that she has such a soft and cute appearance and expression.
"You brought us in here, if you don't have the authority, who the hell does?" Ji Fengming rushed to the little girl's side, almost going crazy.
He's dead, and that doesn't even guarantee the safety of Xiao Chen, his sister, and his brother-in-law?
Then his death was in vain!
"Those who enter the temple can only have their life or death decided by the temple's master," the little girl began reciting solemnly. "The former master said that only those who die for good and are reborn can become the new master. So, master, your previous death was for a better life. As long as you merge with the former master's divine spark, you will be the new master of the temple and can decide the life or death of the people in the temple yourself."
Ji Fengming: "...What the hell, am I supposed to strangle you?"
The hell do you think death is for a better life? Why don't you all die and show me?!
It doesn't hurt to stab yourself in the heart!
Xiao Kui trembled: "Master, you...you can dispel Xiao Kui after you merge with the former master's divine power."
