Chapter 638: I Will Dedicate My Flesh, Soul, and Everything to the 'Stern Father'!

It turned out to be another news article about the cult, and these people were now right here at the Myriad Nations Bathhouse!

Yu Yuan's face lit up with delight.

The cult members were all talents in biological modification, a rare and invaluable find.

Yu Yuan had acquired Mortarian's biological civilization knowledge, and the biological laboratory was about to be relocated to the civilization relic.

What he currently lacked most were talents related to biological modification.

He had originally planned to make a trip to the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet, using the cult faith authority in his hands to bring that Polar Night Technology Company under his command.

But he never expected that he hadn't even made his move yet!

The Myriad Nations Bathhouse had presented him with an unexpected surprise.

Yu Yuan immediately notified Quis, instructing him to keep this group of cult believers stabilized.

His gaze then shifted to the final news article.

It was yet another familiar face.

Previously, Yu Yuan had come across a news report about Flower Language Sprites in the Global News Weekly.

Flower Language Sprites and Morning Dew Sprites both belonged to creatures that believed in the Lord of Dawn.

Earlier, the Flower Language Sprites had sensed the presence of the Morning Dew Sprites.

And now, a full month later, the Queen of the Flower Language Sprites had finally made a decision to venture out and investigate the situation of these Morning Dew Sprites.

Reading this news, Yu Yuan fell into contemplation.

He thought that since these Flower Language Sprites were believers and subjects of the Lord of Dawn.

Perhaps the Dawnlight aura emanating from Mie Mie could help him subdue this group of Flower Language Sprites.

If he could subdue these sprites, along with the Morning Dew Sprites, the Hundred Flowers Farm could be cultivated and completed sooner.

Furthermore, the Flower Language Valley where these sprites resided might yield a massive harvest of floral resources.

These were crucial for Simon's production of Hundred Flowers Nectar.

"It's time to make a trip."

Yu Yuan set down the newspaper and checked the books that had refreshed in the library this week.

They were all combat-related manuals.

Yu Yuan packed them all up and stuffed them into the Rabbit Ring, intending to deliver them to the Hunter Training Camp to enhance the soldiers' combat prowess.

As soon as he stepped out of the library, Yu Yuan saw Mie Mie wandering around the shelter with a curious expression on its face.

It seemed to be sizing up and observing the shelter's layout and structure.

Its eyes were dazed and vacant.

Yu Yuan was slightly surprised but didn't think much of it.

He had noticed earlier that ever since Mie Mie awakened the Dawn Gate, its eyes had become much more lively and intelligent.

Its intelligence had clearly increased, which was a good sign for Yu Yuan.

For now, he decided to wait and see.

He would observe Mie Mie's subsequent changes first.

"Mie Mie, Zhi Zhi, let's head to Dead Mine Town..."

Mie Mie immediately turned its head and ran over with a delighted expression.

Zhi Zhi, meanwhile, was still sprawled on Mie Mie's back, yawning.

Ever since returning from the civilization relic, this little guy had been frequently drowsy.

Yu Yuan suspected it had something to do with Zhi Zhi being on the verge of reaching the threshold of evolution.

"Wait!"

Yu Yuan walked into the Rest Area and approached the Rare Artifact, the Pen of Longstanding Heritage. There was already a thick stack of paper covered in dense numbers.

And among these numbers, occasionally, some words containing special information would appear.

These were the secrets obtained by triggering the Pen of Longstanding Heritage.

Yu Yuan quickly read through these secret contents.

Unfortunately, most of it was meaningless drivel. The remaining small portion consisted only of a few medical formulas, treatment plans, and gossip.

With a somewhat disappointed mood, Yu Yuan headed off to Dead Mine Town.

-

Myriad Nations Bathhouse.

Inside the largest bathing pool, eight men lay completely naked.

They allowed the slightly scalding warm water to soak their bodies.

Their weary bodies, long exhausted from fleeing and trudging, found some relief in this moment.

Qi and blood circulated through their bodies; they temporarily forgot everything, simply enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.

"Leader, they should be the ones you mentioned. They arrived yesterday. They're very quiet, but they really like our bathhouse and food. The bar is where they spend the most time."

'Lian' stood beside Yu Yuan, briefing him on this group's situation.

"The leader of this group should be at Silver-tier strength; the rest are Bronze-tier. When they first entered here yesterday, they had quite a few injuries. Only after purchasing our treatment services did their condition improve."

Listening to 'Lian's' introduction, Yu Yuan nodded slightly.

Although the current Myriad Nations Bathhouse still bore the name of a bathhouse.

In reality, Yu Yuan had already developed it into a comprehensive service establishment.

Treatment was one of those services, and it had even become a major source of income, second only to bathing, dining, and the bar.

After all, what could be more reassuring than finding a safe sanctuary that could treat one's injuries when one was at death's door?

And relying on the biological research institute managed by Jiu Feng, along with the treatment items Yu Yuan possessed—such as the Biological Enhancement Syringe, healing bandages, and functional beverages—the injuries of these travelers could basically be treated here.

This group of cult believers was merely one of the beneficiaries.

Yu Yuan instructed 'Lian' to wait there.

He then walked toward this group.

On the Virtual Light Screen, he activated the Cult faith.

A wave of faith emanated from his body.

It was a faith aura that belonged exclusively to the Cult, exclusively to the 'Stern Father'.

However, unlike the previous Faith Disguise, the aura Yu Yuan now radiated was the pure, original version.

Because he was now the very source of the entire Cult.

The moment Yu Yuan's faith aura spread out.

The eight men in the bath all trembled, their gazes fixed on Yu Yuan.

In their eyes, Yu Yuan was now emanating a dense, divine radiance.

The faith power within their bodies, which had long ceased to react, began to fluctuate again. These fluctuations grew increasingly active until they finally leaped with joy.

The target of their joyous leaping was the man before them, radiating divine radiance.

The leader's body trembled slightly as he stared at Yu Yuan in disbelief.

He felt as if he had seen the deity he had always believed in, the great 'Stern Father.'

Instinctively, he wanted to stand up, but then he suddenly remembered he was completely naked. Standing up directly would be a desecration.

After a moment of hesitation, he knelt directly in the bath.

The others immediately followed suit, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Devout believers, you have suffered. But this is the 'Stern Father's' trial for you, and also your cultivation!"

Yu Yuan imitated the mannerisms of those so-called 'masters' he had seen in short videos before, speaking slowly.

"But now, it's all over! You appearing before me is the guidance of the 'Stern Father.'"

The leader's heart shook.

He looked at Yu Yuan in disbelief.

"O-Oracle... Oracle, you say our being here is due to the 'Stern Father's' guidance, then He..."

Yu Yuan directly raised his hand to stop his words.

"A cunning demon waged a divine war against the 'Stern Father,' but the demon's casualties were equally heavy. The 'Stern Father' has fallen into a deep slumber, waiting for me to awaken Him."

"Now, devout believers, I ask you to contribute your strength to awaken the 'Stern Father' and demonstrate your faith."

"Are you willing?"

Hearing this, a look of fanatical zeal appeared in the eight men's eyes.

"I will dedicate my flesh, my soul, and everything to the 'Stern Father!'"
