Divine Chosen
That night, Shen Hui changed into his disguised clothes and went to the dark Qingbai Market.
As for why a grocery market that's open most of the time would sometimes be dark and deserted.
Naturally, this place was also one of the sites attacked by the Giant God Cult.
After all, there is a large floating population, which can be used to effectively distract the World Association.
Furthermore, if there's no attack here, it seems rather suspicious.
Shen Hui walked through the dark, ruined market, the hoarse cawing of crows echoing in the sky.
"Gah~ Gah~"
"I didn't expect there to be so many people here."
The Raven in the sky blended into the night, circling and landing on Shen Hui's shoulder.
Finally, it burrowed into Shen Hui's arm and disappeared.
Through the Raven's vision, Shen Hui saw many figures moving about in the ruins.
They were all disguised, concealing their identities.
The above-ground markets were destroyed, but the underground ones weren't.
These people are all here to exploit the black market.
Through his memories, Shen Hui arrived at the teahouse that had been reduced to ruins.
There was no need for Shen Hui to personally find the buried passage.
Anyone who has visited a few times can see that there is a cleared passage leading to the black market.
Entering the underground black market, it was incredibly deserted, with very few people around.
However, Shen Hui wasn't there to join in the fun; he walked straight into the Giant God Cult's stronghold.
Shen Hui arrived relatively early; there weren't many people there yet.
Moreover, the few Giant God Cult who arrived were visibly excited.
They discussed the success of the Giant God Cult and the events they encountered during the turmoil.
Shen Hui didn't interrupt.
I just listened quietly from the side, but didn't get any useful information.
The Giant God Cult gradually arrived, but their numbers were significantly fewer than before.
They had clearly perished in the turmoil.
However, compared to the World Association, there was no sadness present here.
This is about having different perspectives on death.
Finally, law enforcement officers appeared.
"Fellow believers, everyone should be here by now."
Let us first offer our blessings to those church members who are unable to reach this place.
"May they return to the embrace of eternal life under the protection of the Lord of the Earth."
"May they return to the embrace of eternal life under the protection of the Lord of the Earth."
Everyone, including Shen Hui, joined in the praise and blessings.
After it ended, the law enforcement officers did not rush to mention the main purpose of the unrest: the massive power-summoning ritual.
He glanced at everyone, then finally looked at Shen Hui.
"Death God, why did the mission fail? Only you returned."
Shen Hui wasn't surprised that the law enforcement officers knew; it would be strange if they didn't know after half a day.
Shen Hui gathered his emotions a second time, but it wasn't sadness; instead, it was a hint of anger and resentment.
"My lord, it was my carelessness. My intelligence did not indicate that Ji Xinfeng of the World Association would be there."
"We engaged in battle with Ji Xinfeng and Shen Hui, even resorting to the Giant God Power."
"But Ji Xinfeng is far stronger than us, and he's willing to fight to the death to protect us, even resorting to his trump card at any cost, hoping to perish together with us."
"In the end, it was those two who withstood Ji Xinfeng's attack, allowing me to escape, but they... also returned to the embrace of the Lord of the Earth, the Titan God."
"If Ji Xinfeng had arrived even a moment later, we would have killed Shen Hui!"
The way Shen Hui spoke, the tone of his voice, was filled with a subtle, almost imperceptible distortion.
After hearing it, I felt a similar sense of anger, as if I shared the same feelings.
After speaking, Shen Hui waited for the law enforcement officer's reaction, expecting him to ask some questions.
To Shen Hui's surprise, the enforcer simply nodded calmly.
"Well, accidents can happen, so let's just accept this mission's failure."
"At least our main task has been accomplished!"
As the law enforcement officer spoke, his tone gradually shifted from calm to excited.
Moreover, he unleashed his talkative nature and began muttering a whole bunch of things to himself.
"Ever since this universe was isolated and sealed, losing contact with the Titan God, our Giant God Cult has been lying low."
"Although none of us experienced that most desperate period."
"But even now, we still haven't been able to establish contact with the Titan God."
"He may be able to sense us through the high priest, but we cannot hear His voice."
"We can all feel that way."
"But under the High Priest's leadership, we will eventually welcome the arrival of the Lord of the Earth!"
"And now, the new Giant God Power has finally arrived!"
"This proves that we have been on the right path, and our Giant God Cult will become even stronger!"
Praise be to the Lord of the Earth, and thanks be to Him for His blessings!
The others also excitedly echoed and praised.
Although Shen Hui was praising them, he was actually listening to the law enforcer's words.
He had already begun to analyze it in his mind; this was information he had never known before.
In summary, they were unable to communicate with the Titan God they worshipped.
At least it's effective and well-understood communication.
This reminded Shen Hui of the changes that occurred when the Giant God Cult's ritual was successfully performed.
The "Giant God Eye"—that which longs to see their world but cannot see anything.
This explains everything.
As the law enforcement officer spoke, his voice softened slightly, adding a hint of resentment.
"Although the mission to guide the forces was successful, it was not a complete success."
"The channel for channeling power was destroyed by the World Association's Grand Master, resulting in the loss of some of its power."
"The High Priest originally intended for the Holy Son to extract a portion of the power, so that all of us believers could then extract the remaining power and be upgraded."
"But that's not enough now; some people might not get that much."
"Therefore, the High Priest intends to use the Divine Chosen to distribute the Giant God Power this time."
Unexpectedly, there was a Holy Son within the Giant God Cult. However, Shen Hui was more concerned about the distribution of the Giant God Power this time.
This is also a major reason why he continued to remain undercover within the Giant God Cult; who would stay in this wretched place if there were no benefits?
According to the law enforcement officers, the high priest had originally planned to divide it equally, although the number of shares would likely differ depending on the level of the priest.
But at least we can get a share of the profits.
But what is this "Divine Chosen one"? It might mean I won't get a share, or even be in danger.
Before Shen Hui could ask, other members of the Giant God Cult who also didn't understand spoke up.
"Your Excellency, how do we Divine Chosen?"
After all these years, this is the only time the power has been channeled, not to mention that it's some kind of Divine Chosen being activated, so it's normal to not understand.
The law enforcement officers were also very willing to explain.
Those who gain the favor of the Lord of the Earth Titan God, are chosen by the Titan God and are known as the Divine Chosen.
