Chapter 197 · Volume 1

The Divine Kingdom of the Lord of Rebirth and Communion

“Great Lord of Rebirth and Communion, your devout believer prays to you.”
“We have felt your oracle and wish to spread your teachings in Mangliang City. We hope for your approval.”
In the middle of the night, Yin Yang, who had already drifted off to sleep, was awakened by a surge of will.
He activated his Perception skill, and the image of the woman from earlier that day appeared in his mind.
Yin Yang sat up, his blade-wielding ghost standing guard beside him with a vigilant gaze.
Yin Yang attempted to respond to the other party. The point of light in his mind rapidly expanded, and the colors around him became vibrant and kaleidoscopic.
“Hmm?”
He was somewhat surprised, as this was actually his Divine Kingdom!
Yin Yang had never been able to find the way to his Divine Kingdom before. He hadn't expected that he needed to respond to a believer to enter it.
He strolled through the Divine Kingdom. The last time he had been here was when he broke through to the rank of High Priest.
The various objects in the Divine Kingdom still possessed bizarre shapes, looking like something out of an exaggerated comic book. The colors were so vivid they were blinding, making one feel dizzy just by looking at them.
He walked at a leisurely pace, following the guidance in his heart until he arrived in front of a grayish-black building.
It was a small two-story building, dilapidated on the outside and dull in color, standing out conspicuously amidst the brightly colored Divine Kingdom.
Yin Yang pushed the door open and entered. The interior of the building was also quite worn, but fortunately, it was sturdy enough to provide shelter from the wind and rain.
In the center of the hall, a woman kneeling on the floor looked up.
The woman’s form in the Divine Kingdom was equally exaggerated. She had a massive head and a very thin neck, appearing like a stick figure supporting a giant head.
She looked at Yin Yang in surprise, which quickly turned into a look of pure joy.
“True God!”
With a smile as warm as a spring breeze, Yin Yang reached out his right hand toward the woman.
“Your request has been granted.”
“Believer, do you require assistance?”
The woman was beyond excited. Hearing Yin Yang’s words, she hurriedly spoke.
“True God, I... I need power. I want revenge!”
Yin Yang continued to maintain his mystic persona.
“Of course. Do you wish to take revenge with your own hands, or do you want someone else to do it for you?”
“With my own hands!”
The woman did not hesitate for a second in giving her answer.
“Then, do you wish for your power to grow rapidly, or for it to grow steadily?”
“Rapidly!”
She didn't hesitate this time either, as if she had long known what Yin Yang would ask.
“Very well. I will send my envoy to deliver something to you. After you have seen it, you can decide whether or not to use it.”
“Praise the True God!”
Yin Yang smiled as he withdrew from the house and opened his eyes.
However, from the woman’s perspective, what she saw was completely different!
In her view, she had been kneeling on her bed praying sincerely from start to finish when her consciousness was suddenly pulled into a mysterious space.
The surroundings were ethereal. Before she could even figure out where she was, a deity appeared before her!
Although she couldn't see the figure clearly, the reassuring divinity emanating from him allowed her to confirm that this was indeed the Lord of Rebirth and Communion!
Sister Qu clenched her fists in excitement, feeling a sense of unreality in her heart.
She hadn't expected that the great True God would actually respond to an ordinary believer like her.
‘The True God said he would send a Lord Envoy, and he even told me to decide for myself whether to use it.’
‘This means the method to make me stronger probably comes with certain risks.’
Sister Qu gripped her fists tightly, without a hint of fear.
She had already been to hell once.
The True God had pulled her back from that hell. From that moment on, only two purposes remained in her life.
Faith in the True God.
And destroying the Shadow Lotus Church.
“Meow~”
A sudden cat meow startled Sister Qu.
The meow was very clear, as if it had come from right beside her.
“Meow~”
The meow sounded again. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tabby cat tilting its head as it watched her.
“Where did...”
She was about to ask where the cat came from when she suddenly remembered the True God’s words.
Could it be that this cat was the True God’s envoy?
“Meow~”
Canned Food pushed a small box toward Sister Qu, then turned and left immediately.
Yin Yang had made quite a few preparations for Canned Food’s delivery. First, he helped Canned Food change its appearance, and then he equipped it with the Wind Rider's Badge.
Canned Food was already fast, and with the wind-riding ability, it was even faster.
As for how it got into the room...
Don't be ridiculous. Canned Food was a Sequence 8 of the Killer pathway. Entering a building with no security like this was a piece of cake.
Sister Qu didn't react until Canned Food had disappeared from sight. She hurriedly stepped forward.
“Respectfully seeing off the Lord Envoy!”
She waited for a while, but after hearing no response from Canned Food, she returned to her bed and impatiently opened the small box.
Inside the box lay a small vial of potion. Beside it was a card with a line of printed text.
【Killer potion. Consuming it will increase your hunting instinct. The side effect of Sequence 9 is extreme sensitivity to light.】
【The prerequisite for consuming this potion is that you must have personally killed one of your own kind.】
Seeing this, Sister Qu gripped the potion vial tightly. Her expression shifted as a mental battle raged within her. She finally understood why the True God had told her to consider it carefully.
For an ordinary person, making the decision to kill was not easy.
She flipped the card over and saw another line of text on the back.
‘Note: Killing human traffickers yields better results.’
Upon seeing this line, Sister Qu let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had found an excuse for the act of killing she was about to commit.
That’s right.
Killing bad people is the same as saving people!
She tucked the potion away close to her body, her mind made up.
...
“Has there been anything unusual?”
Yin Yang looked at the young security officer in front of him with a confused expression.
“Exactly. You catch rats in the city every day; there shouldn't be any place in this city you aren't familiar with, right?”
“I’ve heard that rats are extremely sensitive. If something is wrong, they’ll notice it faster than humans.”
“So, just by observing them, one can learn a lot of information.”
The security officer looked at Yin Yang with sparkling eyes, appearing eager to earn some merit.
“Uh...”
Yin Yang looked embarrassed and pointed to the thirty-some cats that were currently eating.
“Usually, I don't catch rats myself. My employees do all the catching.”
“Ah? Then what are you responsible for?”
“I’m mainly responsible for collecting money, paying for damages, and buying canned food.”
“I understand collecting money, but what’s the paying for damages part?”
“Oh, when my employees are catching rats, they occasionally break some vases or tableware.”
The security officer looked disappointed after hearing this, but he still took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yin Yang.
“I’m the security officer for this area. My name is Zheng Guang.”
“If you notice anything unusual, contact me anytime. My phone is on twenty-four hours a day.”
“Oh, okay, Officer Zheng.”
Upon hearing Yin Yang’s form of address, the security officer’s expression brightened significantly. He clearly liked the title.
However, he still composed himself and tugged at his epaulets.
“Ahem, don't call me 'Officer'; I haven't reached that rank yet.”
“It’s only a matter of time.”
“Hehehe~”
