106: Never worships gods

The chill in the blood-red eyes grew increasingly intense, and the fear in everyone's hearts deepened, to the point where they even wanted to kneel and worship.

But having experienced great trials and having fought their way out of a bloody battle, how could they be willing to kneel?

Lü Yixiu was the most furious.

He was a legendary Sword Cultivator, upholding a sword heart, never yielding, preferring to break rather than bend.

He respected Xu Le's strength, but why should a mere stone make him yield?

Why?

Kill!

Lü Yixiu drew his sword aggressively, a sharp beam of sword light slashing against the divine statue.

The next moment, the sword light reflected back.

Lü Yixiu barely caught it, and just as he was about to sheathe his sword, the divine statue's violent Aura swept across the entire area.

Ants, kneel!

Lü Yixiu laughed heartily: "What kind of clay idol or wooden stick is this, that it deserves to make me kneel? Die!"

Dense streams of sword light slashed forward, followed immediately by dense streams of sword light slashing back.

Lü Yixiu ignored everything, using offense as defense, striking the divine statue with more sword attacks, only to be killed by the rebound of his own sword light.

There were a few others who made the same choice as Lü Yixiu; they had suppressed their anger all along the way, and the fact that they now had to kneel to the culprit—how could they tolerate this?

Xu Le was shaken, but instead of putting the stone back, he unleashed "Reapers Scythe".

Boom!

A violent Aura shook the entire area.

The figures of those who had rushed out froze; from head to toe, only their brains could function.

They saw a pitch-black scythe appear from the Void Realm, seemingly capable of absorbing all light.

They couldn't even control their own gaze, watching helplessly as the scythe appeared and then slashed downward.

The pitch-black blade was like a silent dancer, landing silkily on the divine statue, a speck of blood-red hooked onto the scythe.

The scythe turned, as if seeing an old friend, and lightly shook its tip, causing a speck of pale golden light to fly out and land directly on Xu Le.

The scythe vanished without a trace, everything feeling like an illusion.

The crowd recovered in terror, only to find the divine statue cracking with a snap and shattering into countless fragments.

Is this the summoned scythe?

Terrifying.

The gazes everyone turned toward Xu Le were filled with fear.

Xu Le scanned with his Divine Eye.

Sure enough, Reapers Gift had been upgraded to Rank 3, and the bonus attributes had changed to Strength +400, Physique +200, Agility +200, spirit +400.

"Even I gained 400 spirit, how much must the owner of the scythe—the Reaper—have gained?"

Xu Le turned his head and found nine shiny things beside the shattered divine statue; walking over to look, they were actually faith crystal fragments that could increase wisdom. (See Chapter 074)

The fragments in the Xiaoyao Realm were illusory, but he happened to have three, which could be synthesized into one complete crystal.

Just as Xu Le was about to fuse the fragments, he noticed a burning gaze fixed on him.

"What, trying to rob me?"

Xu Le glared at the Spirit of the Shaman.

The Spirit of the Shaman smiled, indicating he was harmless: "Household Head Xu, can you let me follow you always?"

[Ding, detected that the Spirit of the Shaman desires to become your servant, do you accept?]

!!!

Playing for real?

This is the Xiaoyao Realm!

Xu Le looked at the Spirit of the Shaman in shock; the Spirit of the Shaman's original thoughts began to waver.

Was he aiming too high?

Xu Le saving him with the Reapers Scythe left a shadow; later, killing the parasitic demon spirit with his own strength was the sprout; when he let Nine Phoenix return to the Contract Space while he went to take risks, it bloomed; and now, disregarding the backlash to save everyone was the final fruition.

From shadow to sprout, and then to blooming and fruiting, everything was so natural.

Isn't an existence who is strong, cares for his subordinates, and is willing to protect living beings worth following for a lifetime?

Xu Le: Are you really describing me?

Xu Le didn't know why this choice was triggered in the Xiaoyao Realm, but looking at the trembling option box and the somewhat trembling Spirit of the Shaman, he chose...

"Accept!"

Hum!

An invisible bond was established between the two; the Spirit of the Shaman, already at SSS Rank, naturally could not promote further.

But he had indeed become stronger due to the "All Ascend to Heaven" trait.

[Between Void and Reality]

Can freely switch between Physical Body/spirit states, enjoying the corresponding state bonuses.

Xu Le read it carefully and found that the opponent's talent [spirit] had promoted to [Between Void and Reality], which was equivalent to coming back to life, and being able to convert into a [spirit] was equivalent to having two lives.

Those Skills also couldn't help but make one want to complain; almost every single one had "based on the intensity of the prayer to the deity."

Wait.

Xu Le looked at the Spirit of the Shaman, that is, Qin Siyuan: "I remember you never worship gods."

Qin Siyuan blushed instantly; after gaining the buff of "All Ascend to Heaven", he also understood the true way to play the Shaman profession.

Fortunately, he was in a spirit state, so it couldn't be seen, but it still made him so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground.

What decent person would worship gods?

Heaven knows how many times he hid under his quilt and cried secretly, feeling that his SSS Rank was unworthy of the name, only adding a bit more attributes per level, with combat power not even as good as an A-Rank profession.

Shaman!

What kind of Shaman is a Shaman who doesn't worship gods?

But what Shaman would think there are gods in the world, go worship them, and more importantly, remember to pray to them during battle?

Thinking this way, Qin Siyuan felt he was a decent person and immediately stopped internalizing the conflict.
