The three of them are currently in a rather dire spiritual state.
It's a miracle that the three of them are still alive.
"Your soul state... is like eating hot pot."
Li Xingkong is difficult to evaluate.
"What? Are you saying our souls are both fiery and passionate?"
Ge Baoqi even had the energy to make a couple of joking remarks.
"No, I mean it's like the bottom of a pot, you can stuff anything into it."
Li Xingkong in a bit of a predicament; given their current state of soul, dealing with them was indeed somewhat tricky.
Moreover, besides their souls, the influence of emotional power on them is also a major issue.
Solving these problems is really a headache.
Seeing that Li Xingkong was deep in thought, Ge Baoqi was clearly a little flustered.
"No, Brother Li, say something! Your expression is scaring me a little."
After speaking, Ge Baoqi turned to look at the other two. Ji Nanzhi was still adjusting his breathing, trying to regulate his Magic Power, while Old Ox was staring blankly at his new body.
"Frog Fun, aren't you two worried about matters of life and death?"
What joy is there in living, and what sorrow in dying?
Ji Nanzhi managed to utter a sentence.
"What I mean is, in a battle of this magnitude, just surviving is already a feat; why think so much more?"
Old Ox looked completely lost in thought.
"I'm already in this state, what difference does it make whether I live or die?"
"Get out! You don't want to live? I do! Brother Li, save me!"
Ge Baoqi is as shameless as ever.
"The problem now is that you have new bodies, and you have to start your cultivation all over again. Without the support of cultivation and Magic Power, your soul strength will continue to decline, and you may even be devoured by other souls."
"The most likely scenario is that the Three Demons will reawaken you, because this is, after all, their body, and the part of your soul that belongs to them is more adaptable than other parts."
Li Xingkong pondered for a while. Judging from the current situation, it would obviously become a competition between the three people's cultivation speed and the speed of their soul decay.
"That won't do, then all our work will have been for nothing."
Ge Baoqi shook his head like a rattle drum.
"And there's something else that's rather strange..."
Li Xingkong stroked his chin.
"What?"
"I feel that your possession process went too smoothly. Although you had the blessing of destiny, it's hard to believe that it was just luck."
This is what Li Xingkong strange.
He had met the people of the Kingdom of Fixed Light and the Axiom Arc. Their powerful physiques and almost abnormal vitality left a deep impression on Li Xingkong. It was quite unusual for members of the Holy Church of Truth, one of the three major powers, to be so weak.
"No, Brother Li, this is the support of so many people, plus the luck of tens of millions of people, and you call this a success?"
Hearing Li Xingkong say that, Ge Baoqi was clearly a little uncomfortable.
"Let me put it this way: I can toy with the entire Solar System like a ball with a flick of my wrist right now, but my current strength is only mid-tier among the three major powers. Think about it carefully, even if everyone in the entire Solar System came together, would that be enough?"
"Wow, if that's the case... then the three of us got incredibly lucky?"
Ge Baoqi was a little confused.
"I'm not sure, I'll have to wait and see. But let's figure out how to solve your current problem first. As for the background of this, I'll ask someone when I get back."
Li Xingkong shook his head, putting the question out of his mind; now was not the time to think about it.
" Brother Li, I have an idea."
During their casual conversation, Ji Nanzhi opened his eyes.
How so?
" Brother Li, do you know anything about worshipping gods? Or rather, offering incense to gods?"
"A god of incense offerings? Like the Earth God or the City God?"
Li Xingkong recalled that the incense-offering deities he had heard of before were similar to these kinds of gods.
"No, no, no, not the gods of our traditional the Myth, but the kind from fantasy, the kind that cultivates to Divinity."
Ji Nanzhi explained.
"It's the kind of god who becomes a deity by collecting the faith of believers and then solidifying their own Divinity."
Li Xingkong knew something about faith in God, after all, he had read many novels and was quite familiar with these concepts.
"My idea is this: the main problems we're facing right now are emotional intrusion and the confusion of souls. So, could we do this: using our current main soul as the foundation, construct a so-called Divinity, and treat the other confused souls as believers? Taking advantage of our current position, let's brainwash them first."
"Then, using the Scarlet Heart Art, I will transmit the emotions that are disturbing their souls to them, so that they can share these emotions."
Ji Nanzhi briefly explained his thoughts.
"No, Old Ji, your idea is too cruel. Charm, jealousy, and hatred—who would want those three negative emotions? Giving them to believers is just repaying kindness with enmity."
Ge Baoqi jumped up first.
"Who says these three emotions are necessarily negative? That's prejudice!"
Ji Nanzhi clearly disagreed with this view.
"Allure, though stemming from lust, is not only used to satisfy one's own desires, but can also be used to bring lovers together."
"Jealousy is the pain caused by the excellence of others, but it can also be a source of motivation."
"Hatred is dissatisfaction, criticism, and resentment towards the status quo, but in certain situations, it can be quite effective."
It sounds like sophistry, but upon closer examination, it actually makes some sense.
"Stop spouting nonsense you don't understand. Come on, Old Ji, if you're going to hate, then tell me, if you were to become a god of faith, which direction would you be heading?"
Ge Baoqi continued to raise her son as always.
"God of the Law."
Ji Nanzhi clearly already had an idea.
"Wait, buddy, what does this have to do with hatred? You're taking this way out of the loop."
Ge Baoqi clearly couldn't connect the two.
"Hate stems from unrequited love, from past expectations. This emotion arises not only from feelings towards people, but also from dissatisfaction with social injustice and privilege."
"Where there is hatred, there is injustice. If I can perceive injustice and intervene to rectify it, how can I not be considered a god of law?"
Ji Nanzhi's words sparked Ge Baoqi.
"Sometimes I'm really impressed by you. So, if that's the case, Old Ox could be the Yue Lao, but as for me... I'd have to be the god of progress."
It has to be said that he's quick-witted; he soon figured out what he could do.
"If that's the case, then it actually has some potential."
Li Xingkong also began to consider the possibility of Ji Nanzhi's explanation. If it were handled in this way, it might actually work.
