Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 410: The Sleeping God
If Xu Shen sensed correctly, there was a hint of divine presence in the flesh and blood of this king.
It is hard to imagine that such a weak king could be related to God.
Xu Shen opened his eyes and looked over the remaining people with a flickering look in his eyes.
Seeing Xu Shen's eyes, everyone, including the Pope, felt as if they were being stared at by a wild beast, as if they were fat sheep to be slaughtered and about to be served on the gourmet's table.
They were terrified, wondering if Xu Shen was addicted to killing.
"I heard that your worship ritual can create a king. Is this person created by the worship ritual?" Xu Shen asked.
The Pope was slightly startled, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is wise, he was indeed able to transform by relying on the reward of our Lord through worshiping God."
Xu Shen was a little surprised. Is there really a god behind the Moonlight Cult?
He thought of the soul of the Lord God, kneeling on some huge object.
The entire religion seems to be related to a certain god.
"In the past, in your Moonlight Sect, was there a king whose power was golden blood?" Xu Shen suddenly asked.
The Pope was stunned and looked at Xu Shen in surprise: "How did your Majesty know?"
It’s true... Xu Shen thought of the king with the power of divine blood. When he was taking Hai Jue and Ling Lu away, the other party came to stop him, but was later thrown off, but seemed to be killed by Maeve.
"Did that person also transform through the worship ritual?"
"Um……"
The Pope had a complicated look in his eyes. He didn't expect that Xu Shen's investigation into the Moonlight Cult was deeper than he had imagined, and many secrets could no longer be hidden.
Xu Shen nodded. Now he was basically certain that there was a true god behind the Moonlight Cult.
It’s just that the true God didn’t seem to show up, or was restricted by some kind of restriction and couldn’t show up.
Since the true God is unwilling to show up, why would he control the Moonlight Cult?
What does God want to do with the Moonlight Church? To gather believers?
Xu Shen suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but glance at Maeve beside him.
God ...what does he eat?
In other words, what are God’s needs?
Mortal worship?
Xu Shen was in deep thought. Seeing this, the Pope and other kings did not dare to say anything. Their minds were also wandering, not knowing what their fate would be.
Time passed, and soon, several figures flew over.
The Pope and others turned their heads to look, and when they saw one of the figures, the Pope secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Hopefully this will end...
Xu Shen also sensed someone coming. He paused to think and looked over, and immediately saw a familiar figure.
He was wearing a snow-white robe, had a compassionate face and gentle eyes, but at this moment there was a hint of suspicion in his expression.
This is a gentle and kind old man.
When Xu Shen saw the other party, the other party also saw Xu Shen. Seeing Xu Shen sitting on the throne, he was secretly shocked and immediately knew that this was the monarch they were talking about.
He quickly rushed to Xu Shen, bowed his head, and respectfully addressed the emperor.
Faced with this respectful attitude, Xu Shen looked at the other person quietly, and the old man looked up in confusion. When he met Xu Shen's eyes, the old man forced a smile and said, "I heard that the monarch wanted to see me. I wonder what instructions you have."
Xu Shen looked into his eyes and confirmed that the other party did not recognize him at all.
Oh……
Xu Shen suddenly wanted to laugh. Was it because he had killed so many people that they had already forgotten about him, or was it because he was such an insignificant person that there was no need for them to remember him?
Shaking his head, Xu Shen sighed softly, "Come here."
The old man in the snow-white robe hesitated, turned his head to look at the Pope and other kings, but found that everyone else lowered their heads and did not look at him. This strange feeling made him realize that there was some danger.
But Xu Shen did not take the initiative to attack, nor did he dare to take the initiative to attack, as this requires courage.
Therefore, he hesitated and moved forward slowly.
"Have you improved your skinning skills recently?" Xu Shen asked softly.
"Fortunately..." The old man in the snow-white robe was about to be modest, but suddenly he was stunned. He looked up at Xu Shen and immediately felt something strange. It seemed that he had seen this face before. His mind was turning rapidly. Soon, his face suddenly changed and he looked at Xu Shen in horror:
"It's you?!"
"You still remember me..." Xu Shen smiled and said, "Have you memorized all the scriptures?"
There was horror in the eyes of the old man in the snow-white robe. The little man he had "educated" in the past was now a monarch?
He immediately understood why the Pope and others had such strange reactions.
It turns out that I was called here... to apologize to this monarch.
He felt desolate in his heart, but his body suddenly jumped up and retreated quickly.
He knew that Xu Shen would never let him go, and there was still a chance of survival if he took the initiative.
But as soon as he moved, he felt the difficult resistance as if he was in a swamp. He immediately realized that it was Xu Shen's ability. He immediately exerted all his strength, and a black shadow condensed above his head, which looked like a strange angel.
Xu Shen was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw two completely identical abilities.
Is the old man in front of me also a king who transformed through the worship ceremony?
Could it be that the ritual can directly grant some kind of ability?
But the ability is innate, it is revealed in the initial state, fully displayed in the second state, and completely transformed when it comes to the king.
According to the nun's memory, one had to perform extremely well in the second state to participate in the worship ceremony. In other words, this worship ceremony forcibly changed their original abilities? !
Although Xu Shen was surprised, he did not stop his movements. The black hair on his shoulders swept out, and just like before, he crushed the strange angel directly.
Facing the porcelain-like angel, the black hair was like countless rotating tornado blades, harvesting it in an instant, and then turned into a large amount of hair, covering the old man in the snow-white robe and pulling him in front of Xu Shen.
"you……"
The old man in the snow-white robe now has a radiant face and has transformed into the appearance of a child. His strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary person, and his inner strength is completely suppressed and cannot be mobilized.
He looked at Xu Shen in shock. After just a face-to-face encounter, he was completely powerless to resist?
"take it easy."
Xu Shen reached out and gently stroked his cheek, also with a gentle smile: "You won't die so easily."
The childlike old man was terrified and begged for mercy: "Let me go, I am willing to swear allegiance to you until death, and I can do anything. It was my fault that I was blind at the beginning, it was me..."
I couldn't speak anymore, my mouth was filled with hair.
"No need to make noise."
Xu Shen said softly: "You just need to enjoy the fate I have bestowed upon you."
The child's eyes were filled with fear, his eye sockets were almost torn, and he begged for mercy in fear, struggling and shaking his head.
Xu Shen waved slightly.
The black hair quickly wrapped around his entire body, forming a cocoon and pulling him behind Xu Shen's seat.
Seeing this scene, the Pope and other kings were silent and dared not say a word.
After two consecutive attacks, Xu Shen suppressed the king almost effortlessly, making them deeply feel the huge gap between the king and the monarch.
Although they are at the same level, their combat power is vastly different.
"Now, let's talk about the worship ceremony." Xu Shen said to the Pope.
The Pope had a complicated look in his eyes. He knew he could not hide it, so he immediately explained the matter of the worship ceremony.
The Moonlight Cult's worship ceremony will select the two most talented people who have made the greatest contribution to the cult to perform. Participants have a chance of surviving death. Once they survive and receive God's blessing, they can transform into a king.
Furthermore, the abilities will change and be covered by the Oracle.
This "oracle" is the power given by God.
According to the message conveyed by God during the ceremony, when God descends, those who have received the oracle will completely become servants of God, transforming into angels, guards, etc.
There are only three types of oracles at present: one is an angel, one is a divine guard with divine blood, and the other is a divine inspector with dark divine eyes who patrol the world on behalf of God.
"When will the Moon Lord arrive?" Xu Shen asked.
Moon Lord is the name of the god of the Moonlight Cult.
According to the records of the Moonlight Religion, the god actually lives on the bright moon in the sky, so he is called the Moon Lord.
"In another three hundred years..." the Pope said respectfully.
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. Three hundred years? Not fast or not, it wasn't a long time for their king.
"What will happen if the Moon Lord comes? Will he rule the world?" Xu Shen asked.
The Pope said hesitantly : "Our Lord's revelation is not clear, and we don't know it either, but when our Lord comes... the world should submit..." Having said that, he looked up and secretly glanced at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows, speaking in a very arrogant tone.
But the other party is a god and does have such power.
After a moment of silence, Xu Shen called out Xia Tong.
Instead of asking, he wanted to understand more clearly.
"Don't try to resist." Xu Shen said coldly.
The Pope seemed to be aware of Xia Tong's existence. His expression changed slightly and looked a little ugly, but he still restrained himself.
Xia Tong grinned and happily entered the Pope's body. Once upon a time, he was just a third-rate guy in front of the Moonlight Church, but now he can invade the Pope's head. What a pleasure it is.
soon.
Xia Tong began to swim in the Pope's memory.
But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a mysterious scene.
Above the distant bright moon, a huge, majestic, ferocious and unimaginably terrifying figure is quietly lurking.
And at the same time he caught sight of that figure, he seemed to be being spied on as well.
In an instant, Xia Tong felt a chill.
This is memory.
And it’s a memory from the past.
But Xia Tong had a feeling that he was being stared at by that god.
"No……"
Xia Tong hurriedly tried to withdraw, but the next moment, a terrifying force enveloped him, and Xia Tong found that his body was out of control and was driven by his own ability to fly towards the god.
His ability could travel through memory, and at this moment, his ability was inexplicably enhanced infinitely, and he actually crawled into the memory of that god.
But as it crawled over, it was bounced out again.
He fell before God like an ant.
Xia Tong was stunned for a moment, and looked around in horror, realizing that he seemed to have left the Moonlight Church and arrived in front of the god in front of him...
Time passes by little by little.
Xu Shen waited for half an hour and he became a little impatient. It took so long and Xia Tong should be able to memorize the tour quickly.
"Xia Tong!"
Xu Shen called out.
But there was no response.
Xu Shen frowned. Could it be that the memories were too complicated, causing him to be deeply trapped in them?
He waited for another half an hour and called out with all his might.
"Xia Tong!"
Still no response.
"It's no use."
Next to her, Maeve sat on the Pope's table, crossed her legs, and said softly to Xu Shen, "He was attracted by that god. He was a little pitiful to see that sleeping god."
Xu Shen was stunned.
Was Xia Tong attracted by God?
How to attract?
Extradited directly from the Pope’s memory?
Xu Shen was a little shocked. This method was beyond his imagination. Is this the power of God?
His expression changed constantly as Xu Shen stared at the Pope. After a moment, he still refused to give up and said again: "Xia Tong!!"
This time, there was still no response.
Xu Shen's face looked grim. Xia Tong was a king whom he used quite well, but he was gone just like that.
At this moment, Xia Tong's life or death is unknown. After being taken away by the gods, just standing in front of the gods is probably a life worse than death...
I didn't expect that peeking into the Pope's memory would be so dangerous, or rather, peeking into God would be so dangerous.
Xu Shen felt that he was a little careless. Some things were not on the same level and he must never peek at them. When he was in the first and second forms, he had strictly followed this principle with trepidation. But now that he had become a king, wandering around the strongest ruins in the world, which were A-level, it didn't matter even if they were peeked at. As a result, he relaxed this rule that the ruin slayers must strictly abide by.
"If you want him back, I can bring him back for you."
Maeve saw Xu Shen's gloomy face and smiled softly, "But this will anger the sleeping guy. In this case, many people will die. Are you willing?"
Xu Shen was slightly stunned. He did not doubt Maeve's words that Xia Tong could still come back.
But what does it mean to sleep?
Is the Moon Lord sleeping?
Xu Shen fell into deep thought.
Just sleeping can give birth to the king of the Moonlight Cult. If he wakes up, will he come immediately?
Thinking of this, Xu Shen didn't dare to take the risk. After thinking about it, he chose to give up Xia Tong first.
If it really doesn't work, I still have one last resort.
Release the imprisoned guy and let her turn things around.
It should be easy to resurrect Xia Tong from the past.
But the risk of releasing her was too great, and Xu Shen was unwilling to try it until the last moment.
"That's all."
Xu Shen sighed. This was both a response to Maeve and a response to Xia Tong's lack of response. He said to the Pope, "From now on, the Moonlight Cult will be disbanded and renamed the Light Cult. The worship ceremony will be sealed and tabooed. The Moon Lord you worship is too dangerous. In your eyes, he is a god, but in the eyes of God, you are just ants. Don't think that the closeness of an ant will arouse God's mercy."
The Pope and several kings were all stunned and their faces changed. Xu Shen wanted to disband the Moonlight Cult with just one sentence. How was this possible?
"Sire, we believe in the Moon Lord. Now you want our entire church to abandon our Lord..." the Pope said hurriedly.
Xu Shen said coldly: "Are you worried that the believers' minds can't change, or are you unwilling to do so?"
The Pope's heart sank, and he smiled bitterly, "This, this kind of fact is really... If I knew about it, I would definitely be furious."
"How would He know?" Xu Shen asked.
The Pope was stunned: "This..."
"This is not a matter of overnight. I will give you three years to slowly revise the church scriptures. There are many gods in the world. If you must believe in a true God, I can recommend one to you." Xu Shen said.
