Qiao Liqun had caught them off guard, giving himself ample time to prepare before the six opposing Chosen Ones realized what was happening.
More importantly, the book Qiao Liqun was reading had quite an extraordinary origin.
Just as Qiao Liqun had said, it was the "truth" of the world!
Combined with Qiao Liqun's god-given ability, Evangelist, that lengthy passage of "truth" dealt a severe blow to the worldviews of the six Chosen Ones from the opposing faction. They could not help but feel that Qiao Liqun's words made perfect sense, and they even wanted to bow and receive his teachings to show their agreement.
Once the six Chosen Ones realized they had been mentally disturbed, they immediately used Spirit Force to strike their own meridians, inflicting minor injuries upon themselves in an attempt to shake off the mental influence. However, something even more shocking happened: their self-harm had no effect at all, and the urge in their hearts to worship Qiao Liqun remained utterly unchanged!
Qiao Liqun smiled. "Stop wasting your strength. No matter how you resist or distort it, truth remains truth. Because what I said makes sense, you accept it from the bottom of your hearts."
"No, this is Mental Suggestion... something like a hypnosis spell!"
"Hypnosis... Are we in a state similar to a dream?"
"No wonder self-harm is useless. Our real bodies never injured themselves at all! Of course we can't wake up..."
The six Chosen Ones were all seasoned veterans, and they quickly deduced their current state.
"We are in a dream right now. They wouldn't dare attack our real bodies! Unless they can guarantee a one-hit kill, it would only wake us up early..."
"They don't have enough people! Other than the God of Truth's Chosen One, there's only a Fire God Chosen One.
