Chapter 985: Chapter 437: Three Deceits Cult? Experience Baby Paradise!! (Part 2)

At their current Realm, trying to advance even a single step was as hard as ascending to heaven; only Divine Grace of this level was qualified to give them a chance to break through.

"Sect Leader, you are already above a Daoist Master. Once this Divine Grace enters your body, we should address you as the Supreme."

"By then, the upper echelon of the Federation will have to show us some respect."

The Gray Robe spoke in a low voice at the side.

A faint smile also appeared at the corner of Chen Yuan’s mouth. He had waited for this day far, far too long—without ultimate peril, there could be no ultimate faith.

This Divine Grace would help him ascend to the Supreme!!!

However, what they did not notice was that the White Robe Bishop, who had been silent all along, was looking at that carved-jade Divine Son, her eyes faintly knitting, as if she had recognized something.

But she said nothing, only sighed soundlessly.

"Disobedient student..."

At this moment, everyone in the Church was worshiping the Holy Son, and the tidal wave of faith gradually stabilized, gently drifting through the surroundings.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan straightened his back, intending to soar into the sky and pick up the Divine Son—this was the rule since ancient times.

Yet just as Chen Yuan rose and was about to walk toward the lotus throne—

Bang!!!

The vast Power of Faith turned into an invisible giant hand and slammed down toward Chen Yuan.

That terrifying force made the surrounding space tremble, as if the heavens were collapsing!!

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan’s expression changed drastically. He was about to strike back, but suddenly withdrew all his aura, allowing that Power of Faith to forcibly press him to his knees on the ground.

This was the Holy Son making a move; to raise a hand against the Holy Son, or even to resist, was great disrespect. Everything granted by the Holy Son was a blessing. If he resisted, it would inevitably arouse the wrath of all the believers.

"Divine might of the Divine Son, the Star River is unseen!!"

"Chen Yuan welcomes the descent of the Divine Son!!"

Chen Yuan shouted loudly. The believers’ initially puzzled gazes, following his words, turned into even more fanatical faith.

However, the expressions of the three Red Robes suddenly changed.

The Power of Faith... was being mobilized!!!

This Power of Faith, though born for the Divine Son, in truth this ritual could only summon a sliver of the Divine Son’s remnant soul—utterly without consciousness, let alone the ability to drive the Power of Faith.

This ritual had always been a method for the high-ranking to harvest faith, but the scene before them shattered all of their understanding.

Could it be... this time, the Divine Son had truly descended!!!!

The three Archbishops exchanged a glance and each saw the complicated look in the other’s eyes.

At their Realm, claiming they had no faith would be a lie, but to say it was pure and unwavering? No one would buy that.

"Give everything for God"—that kind of talk was fine for duping those below; just don’t end up fooling yourself.

If this faith turned into Divine Grace and was divided among them, they could all advance further, surpass Daoist Masters, and become the strongest combat power in the Star River.

But if the Divine Son had truly descended, then this faith had nothing to do with them.

If all three Gods descended and the Star River bowed together, they would naturally be overjoyed, but the descent of a single Split Spirit of a Divine Son—whether that was good or bad, no one could say.

Chen Yuan was crushed to the ground by that Power of Faith, the depths of his eyes like a frigid abyss, without a trace of light.

Within the entire cathedral, only that infant sat upright on the lotus throne, overlooking everything.

"This body really is hard to get used to..."

Su Tu looked at his own lotus-root-like arms and couldn’t help complaining inwardly.

Then his gaze turned to Chen Yuan and the others.

With a single glance he saw how unusual Chen Yuan was. This man bore faith in the Three Gods on his body, yet behind it he hid a power even more unfathomable.

Such a "dessert"—if he could devour it all, Su Tu even suspected that Inference of Heaven could be instantly pushed to full experience.

However, now was clearly not the time for that. Since he had become the "Divine Son," then he should do what a Divine Son ought to do.

"You only wanted a gimmick to harvest faith."

"But what a pity—this faith belongs to me alone!!"

Su Tu’s lips curled up, and a bright smile bloomed on his cute little face.

The next moment...

Buzz!!!

Crash!!!

The Power of Faith that had been shrouding the entire cathedral, as if it had found its true master, began to madly, desperately pour into Su Tu’s body.

In just the blink of an eye, that incomparably vast and utterly pure faith was completely taken in by him.

This body of his had been reborn through faith to begin with, and this faith was all the more pure precisely because of him, so absorbing it took no effort at all.

However, he had only stored it, not fully devoured it. In this newborn state, Su Tu was still extremely weak and could not absorb all of this Power of Faith.

Seeing this, the expressions of Chen Yuan and the others shifted again and again, but in the end they said nothing. The worship and fanaticism on their faces, however, seemed to deepen.

Su Tu couldn’t care less about their performance.

At this moment, he found that his body seemed to have grown a little. Trying it out, he actually staggered to his feet.

"Sure enough, no need to grow up bit by bit."

Su Tu could feel that this body would grow at ten times, even a hundred times the speed of an ordinary child.

And he had only just been reborn for a short moment, yet could already stand.

Then he looked at the kneeling believers, at the three Bishops, his gaze sweeping across his followers, finally coming to rest on Chen Yuan.

At this time Su Tu’s vocal cords had fully formed. He spoke slowly, his clear childish voice carrying an indescribable sacredness, making others feel as if his voice were rising from the depths of their own hearts.

"I... am back!"

This voice sounded like a sigh, and like a proclamation to the world!!

"O Divine Son!!!"

"We greet the Divine Son of the Muddy World!!"

"All that we are is for the Divine Son’s sake!!"

Upon hearing Su Tu’s voice, the believers seemed to have heard holy music; each and every one of them went utterly mad.

In his ears, system prompts rang out rapidly.

[Your believers are offering you faith, Inference of Heaven Skill Level +100]

[Your believers are offering you faith, Inference of Heaven Skill Level +100]

[Your believers are offering you faith, Inference of Heaven....]

Dense prompts appeared by Su Tu’s ears. He turned off the notifications and ignored them, planning to check the final consolidated settlement later.

Next, what he had to do was turn the entire Three Deceits Cult into his own Experience Baby Paradise.

After that, he would retrieve his original flesh body. Right now his Heart and Spirit were still not strong enough and could not pierce that hazy feeling.

And this was the fastest place for him to enhance his Power of the Heart and Spirit.

"Little Xue Yue, next, you’re going to feast like crazy..."

Su Tu spoke in his Heart and Spirit.

A voice filled with impatience slowly sounded.

"That’s just wonderful...."

....

In that bizarre, eerie space—

Monstrous strange wood blotted out the sky, propping up an entire world. At the top of the canopy, a young man sat quietly in meditation.

The instant Su Tu fully reincarnated from faith and descended into the Three Deceits Cult—

A surge of unimaginable vitality erupted from the young man’s body. At the same time, the forty-two "fruits" around him all began to tremble slightly.

This surge of life seemed to have triggered something.

Whether it was an illusion or something else, the eyes of those forty-two strongest Heaven’s Chosen throughout history all quivered faintly.

Then...

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Streams of rosy light burst forth, and the grand formation they formed grew even more radiant. Beyond the power originally channeled into it, a few other types of power were added.

Those powers flowed into the young man’s body, flickering through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and circulating through all his Hundred Acupoints.

On his Dao Plant, lines of Dao Patterns and totems began to appear one after another.

At the same time, the Cause and Effect of Godhood that had turned into the strange wood also began to flicker. Bits of starlight manifested around the canopy and fell into his body, merging into his internal Star River.

In just an instant, the Star River within this flesh body began to rapidly perfect itself; the laws within grew ever more complete, and between the Dao Plant and the Star River, some vague sort of connection actually began to form.

"May my Human Race be eternal—this body may serve as the stone steps..."

A voice faint to the extreme rang out, like a breeze passing by without leaving a trace.
