Chapter 227: Partial Mastery, Divine Power
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:Atlas Studios
Soon, Zhou Chen brought John to his residence and suddenly knocked him out.
Then, he took some blood from John and recorded it in the bizarre book. He took out the bizarre coffin from his inventory and stuffed him in.
Zhou Chen’s so-called gift of strength referred to this thing. He did not have a way to rapidly increase people’s strength, but the bizarre coffin could.
Although doing so would consume precious lifespan, it was not his loss. Moreover, he had already made the price clear. If John accepted it, he could do so.
As for obtaining blood and putting it in the bizarre book, it was a form of insurance. If John became arrogant after obtaining strength and became disobedient, Zhou Chen would not need to waste time to find him and teach him a lesson. As long as he activated the bizarre book, John would be forced to be
obedient.
Of course, this was only to prevent any accidents. According to Zhou Chen’s guess, John would not betray him so quickly.
After putting John in the bizarre coffin and activating the intermediate level complete evilization, Zhou Chen ignored him and went out to get other believers.
His residence was protected by Little Red, so there would be no issue. Even if something happened, Little Red could contact him through spiritual connection.
“The intermediate complete evilization can allow the person to reach the high bronze rank in a day. If not for the huge price and the time required being high, I would have let John undergo the high level complete evilization.”
The reason why Zhou Chen had not told John the high-level option before was because doing so would consume 40 years of his life. It was too immoral. Moreover, he would need to be in the bizarre coffin for a month. Zhou Chen did not have so much time to waste on this.
“A high bronze rank believer should be pretty good as well. The Lord of the Hammer’s believer was at high bronze rank.”
Zhou Chen felt that the bizarre coffin was very useful in creating believers because it could strengthen them quickly. Although high bronze ranked existences were no different from ants in front of Zhou Chen, they were not weak in this world. They had already reached the threshold of middle-ranked
professionals.
“If Ihave dozens of high bronze ranked believers, the power of faith will increase noticeably.”
Zhou Chen had already realized that the quality of the believers seemed to be more important than the number. Although it was difficult for him to gather a large number of believers, there was still hope in going the path of quality.
While thinking, Zhou Chen went to the city to buy some food and went to the various slums to spread the good fortune of the Lord of Benevolence.
He still planned to fool young people into becoming believers because this was easier to do. As long as he gave some benefits, he could leave some impression on the target group. If he wanted to get adults, it would be more difficult.
At this moment, Zhou Chen arrived at a poor area and walked to a tall young man in an old and shabby dress.
‘The young man was wandering aimlessly on the street. He looked like a person who had become homeless just recently.
“Sir, please allow me to take up some of your time to introduce you to our omnipotent and omniscient Heavenly Father, the savior of all things in the world, the great Lord of Benevolence!”
Zhou Chen had a smile on his face as he spoke words that he had already spoken many times. Who knew that as a fake god, he would actually be reduced to getting believers himself.
This young man was not too interested in Zhou Chen’s opening speech, but Zhou Chen’s luxurious clothes made him have some thoughts.
“Mr. Preacher, if you can lend me a Kimpur, I will immediately change my faith to your lord.” The young man looked at Zhou Chen and smiled.
“Sir, are you serious? If you are full of sincerity, according to the teachings of our Lord, I have to help you.” Zhou Chen did not care about the young man’s lie. Instead, he asked if he was serious.
Although Zhou Chen did not lack money, he did not like being made a fool. If anyone dared to fool him, they would receive their just desserts.
“Of course! I, Cole, have never lied.” Seeing that Zhou Chen seemed to really plan to buy him off with money, the young man said with a serious expression.
“Sure, this kimpur is for you.” Zhou Chen directly took out a golden coin and placed it in this person’s hand.
“Thank you! I’ll believe in that whatever lord of yours!” Seeing that this strange preacher had really given him a kimpur, the young man was immediately overjoyed. He quickly tuned to run, as if there was something urgent.
“Hehe, this person doesn’t look too reliable. I hope he’s smart.”
Zhou Chen knew that this person was most likely fooling him, but he did not care, because the gifts in this world had their own price. If this person was not honest, it would be too late for regret.
“I should get some blood so I don’t have to spend time looking for him.”
‘When the young man disappeared from his vision, Zhou Chen walked to a remote area and activated the invisibility and phasing ability of the bizarre shoes to chase after him.
His Bloodthirst perception locked onto the target. He passed behind the other party in invisibility mode, took some blood from behind the other party’s neck, and wiped it on the book.
With this, it would be difficult for the young man to escape Zhou Chen’s control unless he could break through to the middle silver rank.
“Tt seems like using the bizarre book to control people is quite convenient. It’s much easier than wasting money and words.”
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and felt that it would be a little difficult to obtain enough faith power in such a short period of time. He had to take a side path.
“Back then, I laughed at that Lord of the Hammer for being so cheap. Today, he would probably laugh at me…”
After mocking himself, Zhou Chen left the area and began to search for a suitable target.
This time, he planned to torture some trash and force them to offer their faith.
He did not plan to attack an innocent person. After all, he had a bottom line and did not want to blow things up.
After a busy day, Zhou Chen returned to his room and opened the lid of the bizarre coffin.
“How do you feel?” Zhou Chen asked with a smile after putting away the bizarre coffin.
John seemed very excited as he spoke incoherently, “Lord Oracle! I feel like I’ve become countless times stronger! There are many things in my head! I even learned magic!”
Then, he demonstrated his ability. He did not make any movement, but his entire body disappeared into the ground like a shadow, then went outside the house and back through the wall.
“He obtained the ability of an evil spirit. His luck is quite good.
Evil spirits were considered to be very difficult to deal with among evil entities. If there was no targeted method, ordinary people would have no way of dealing with evil spirits.
Zhou Chen looked at the excited John and asked, “Hmm, are you satisfied with my Lord’s grace?”
John was clearly not stupid. He immediately half-knelt to Zhou Chen.
“John thanks the Lord for the grace! I will serve the great Lord of Benevolence for all my life and spread the teachings of the Lord!”
“Hehe, you know my needs quite well.’
Zhou Chen was satisfied.
“Go back and show your companions your strength. Continue to organize them to pray and tell them that the Lord will not forget any devout believer. As for spreading the doctrine, don’t worry. It’s better to keep a low profile and develop your companions first.”
Zhou Chen did not plan to let this little believer of his do anything major. It was better to move steadily and let him do what he could.
“Alright! Lord Oracle!”
John remembered Zhou Chen’s words and bowed to him. At the same time, he raised his right hand and drew the character for benevolence across his chest.
Then, he used his ability to quickly leave. Zhou Chen summoned Little Red to continue observing them through the bizarre mirror while he prepared to continue his cultivation of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.
Although he was busy with the believers today, martial arts cultivation was the first in his heart. After all, the strength of martial arts depended completely on him. It was stable and would not be affected by any useless beliefs.
Before cultivating, he took out the bizarre coffin and the book again and gave Little Red a new mission.
“Little Red, I’ve locked up an evil group that does human trafficking in this place, and they are all recorded in the bizarre book. You have to monitor them carefully. If necessary, you can torture them through the bizarre book. Every day, you will stuff the ones with the best performance into the bizarre
coffin and make them undergo intermediate complete evilization.”
Zhou Chen had done a lot of things when he went out today. He found a low-level gang and completely controlled them with the bizarre book. After torturing them for a while, he forcibly turned them into his believers.
These people were quite weak and were of no significance. Zhou Chen planned to give some rewards to them for performing well, which was to increase their strength.
“L don’t have much time left in this Survival mission. I have to quickly complete the goal of achieving partial mastery in the cultivation technique.”
Zhou Chen planned to go into seclusion and deal with the remaining three Eight Desolates True Energy attributes in one go and step into the partial mastery stage.
Zhou Chen began to focus on his cultivation.
Unknowingly, a month passed.
At this moment, he was standing in the courtyard, slowly practicing the various moves of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art. From time to time, golden and purple flames would circle around his body and turn invisible all of a sudden.
“I’ve finally mastered the eight attribute transformations. After fusing the eight attributes, the Eight Desolates True Energy will return to its invisible state.” Zhou Chen sighed inwardly and realized that his strength had increased greatly. He had reached the partial mastery stage.
He opened the interface and realized that the class column had been updated with “Martial Artist (Grandmaster)”, but the overall evaluation was still high silver.
“Looks like it’s not easy to enter the gold rank. Now, I need to fuse my martial dao intent and refine it into coiling dragon phantoms to reach the great grandmaster realm.”
After reaching the partial mastery stage of the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art, Zhou Chen was on the path to full mastery.
The latter part was not easy. The difficulty had increased greatly, and it involved many profound things. Even though Zhou Chen had the Pure Yang Overlord Body, he still felt quite pressured.
“Forget it, let’s check the situation with the Godhood.”
He glanced at Little Red who was still praying not far away and knew that nothing had happened outside during this period of time. Otherwise, Little Red would definitely inform him.
Following the connection between himself and the Godhood in the necklace, Zhou Chen realized that there was a ball of pure and dignified energy inside. It was the divine power he had seen a month ago.
“Although this amount is still small, it can be used a little.”
Seeing the weight of this divine power, Zhou Chen knew that the believers in the outside world had provided him with a lot of faith energy, allowing there to be some surplus after the Godhood and the divine fire used it to maintain themselves.
“Divine power, advance my Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art to the full mastery stage!” He tried to channel his divine power.
In his previous investigations, the divine power of this world was described as omnipotent, a great power that could create infinite miracles. Therefore, it was not excessive to rely on divine power to directly reach the Martial Dao Human Immortal realm.
“Why is there no reaction at all? Looks like the amount of divine power is far from enough.”
After using his control over the Godhood, Zhou Chen realized that he had failed. His divine power expressed that it could not help him, as if it had encountered an iron wall on the way.
“This idea doesn’t work. Let’s change to a simple one.” Zhou Chen was not discouraged.
“Give me a passive skill. Its effect is that my attacks will ignore all defenses!”
However, after struggling for a while, he realized that there was still no reaction from the divine power.
“Even this is not possible? Seriously… increase my agility!”
As soon as this thought appeared in Zhou Chen’s mind, he realized that the divine power finally showed a reaction. This pure and dignified energy passed from the necklace on his chest to his entire body, bringing him a wave of warmth.
“It’s finally working.”
As this warmth enveloped his body, Zhou Chen knew that his body was becoming stronger, although the extent might not be very large.
This warmth lasted for about seven to eight seconds. After feeling the warm current disappear, Zhou Chen opened his character interface to check.
“My agility increased from 5.8 to 7.7, an increase of 1.9… Why did it stop? Can’t it add 0.3 more?”
Zhou Chen felt that this divine power was quite careless. His physique and spirit attributes had reached 8 already, but the agility stopped before reaching 8.
He then sensed the Godhood in the necklace and found that a portion of the divine power was still intact.
“It is not used up?” Feeling puzzled, he continued to channel the remaining divine power, planning to increase his agility to 8.0.
However, after some effort, he realized that the divine power did not move at all.
“It’s much harder to increase agility now. This little bit of divine power is not even enough to increase it by a point.”
Zhou Chen gradually understood the reason. Then, he walked to Little Red who was praying silently and activated the remaining divine power.
“Divine power, increase her strength!” Zhou Chen was trying to use his divine power to influence other things.
With this thought in his mind, a pure and powerful energy enveloped Little Red. Then, the strength of Little Red’s aura began to increase. It lasted for a few seconds.
“Thank you… for your… gift, Master.” When the increase was over, Little Red suddenly thanked Zhou Chen.
“Not bad, you can speak now.” Zhou Chen immediately felt that this divine power was useful. It could indeed produce some small miracles.
