176: Chapter 176 The Same Method

Two days later, daylight returned to the Ximi Starfield once again.

Lin Sheng no longer had an excuse to stay at home, so under Yeros's urging, the two of them headed toward the source of the pollution.

As a True God, Yeros could reach most places in the universe with a single thought, so reaching a specific spot on a planet in an instant was naturally something she could do.

But what puzzled Yeros was that Lin Sheng didn't seem to have this ability?

After she reached the approximate area of the pollution source, she discovered that Lin Sheng had only just stepped out of his front door.

She returned to Lin Sheng's side, only to see him slowly taking to the air, seemingly intending to fly there?

"I'll take you there."

Yeros truly didn't want to wait a moment longer, so she directly waved her hand at Lin Sheng.

In the next instant, Lin Sheng's figure appeared above the surface of a sea.

As soon as their figures appeared, the surrounding water element creatures instantly showed hostility toward them.

They were the beings closest to the source of pollution and were also the medium for its spread; these water element creatures, whether in body or consciousness, had been completely corrupted.

In this state, they didn't care if you were a True God or some Old One; any outsider appearing within their range of perception was an enemy.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

A series of sounds like boiling water rose from the sea. Lin Sheng glanced at the water element creatures and then gave a wave of his hand.

Rumble!

Several bolts of pale purple lightning shot out from his palm. This was the "Five Thunder Rectification Method" that Lin Sheng had comprehended from the Dao Fruit.

While water element creatures weren't exactly conventional evil spirits, Lin Sheng's version of the Five Thunder Rectification Method wasn't exactly conventional either.

The lightning fell upon the water element pollutants, and they were instantly vaporized by the strike.

After dealing with these water element pollutants, Lin Sheng clapped his hands.

He turned his head to glance at Yeros, who had been standing by without making a move.

He had thought she was simply too lazy to act, but when Lin Sheng saw the trace of "self-reproach" on Yeros's face, he knew he had been wrong.

"If we encounter them again later, could you please not attack? I can handle it."

At this moment, Yeros spoke.

Lin Sheng heard a hint of pleading in her tone.

After watching Yeros quietly for a moment, Lin Sheng nodded.

"Alright."

These water element pollutants had escaped from the pollution source ahead, and since the pollution source was hidden by a certain power, Yeros had not been able to purify these pollutants in time.

Because of this, Yeros felt self-reproach.

She felt that if she could have purified them a bit earlier, or if she could have acted before Lin Sheng did, these water element creatures would not have died.

"Does the Ximi God know about the current situation in the starfield?"

Lin Sheng stared at the patch of sea before him that, in his perception, had absolutely no presence, and asked Yeros beside him.

"She knows."

Yeros nodded.

"Then what does she think?"

"She doesn't care even though her own outskirts are about to be occupied by other Main Gods?"

Lin Sheng found the Ximi God's approach very difficult to understand.

At the very least, although those believers had given Lin Sheng an explanation, they were only low-level believers and didn't know much.

Now that there was a god-level existence by his side, Lin Sheng naturally wanted to learn a bit more.

"Having more gods is a good thing for low-level living beings."

"The God will not stop the spread of faith in other gods here, because their presence can protect more living beings."

Yeros said.

In response, Lin Sheng had a different view, using this current situation as an example.

"What if the price is what you see here?"

"Do you think it's right for the God to indulge them like this?"

Lin Sheng wasn't saying this to stir up conflict; he was simply curious.

To Lin Sheng's question, Yeros only shook her head gently.

"This is an exception; they are not to blame."

Lin Sheng: ?

"Your tolerance is really something."

He gave Yeros a thumbs up, then asked as if casually:

"What if an Evil God wanted to spread their faith here?"

Hearing this, Yeros's forward steps paused.

She turned around and stared at Lin Sheng's face, which wore an expression of indifference.

"An Evil God won't do."

"But if it's you, it's fine."

Yeros said with extreme seriousness.

Hearing these words, Lin Sheng was very confused.

He knew that Yeros knew he was an Evil God.

But he didn't know why Yeros could still trust him so much while knowing clearly that he was an Evil God.

Yes, it was trust.

From the moment Lin Sheng first came into contact with Yeros, he could feel that she trusted him exceptionally.

But this trust seemed to have appeared out of thin air, without any reason.

"You seem to trust me a lot?"

Starting from some point, whenever Lin Sheng had a question, he would ask it directly, and this time was no exception.

However, after hearing Lin Sheng's question, Yeros only shook her head in confusion.

"I'm not sure either."

"Hmm?"

Lin Sheng voiced his surprise. He knew Yeros wouldn't lie, so this matter was worth setting aside for now.

For now, it was better to solve the pollution problem first.

A demigod-level pollution that could actually prompt a Main God-level existence to act and cover it up—anyone with half a brain could tell it definitely wasn't simple.

Lin Sheng sensed the situation here for a moment, and then the expression on his face became somewhat strange.

The method used here to conceal the pollution was extremely similar to the sealing method on the skull in Lin Sheng's hand.

The only difference was probably that the technique here was relatively crude, while the one on the skull was more refined.

In this place, if a Main God did not cast their gaze here, they would not be able to discover it.

But once a Main God noticed this area, the probability of discovery was still quite high.

The skull in Lin Sheng's hand was different; even if a Main God noticed it, they wouldn't find anything unusual about the skull.

Lin Sheng reached out his hand and lightly brushed the space in front of him.

In an instant, a burst of golden Dao Patterns covered the area his palm had brushed over.

The hidden space was revealed at that moment; countless water element pollutants were churning endlessly inside, and occasionally a few pollutants found an exit to the outside world and emerged from that space.

Seeing this scene, Yeros stepped forward, wanting to purify the pollution on these water element creatures.

However, her body passed directly through this hidden space.

"This..."

Yeros turned to look at Lin Sheng, and Lin Sheng also turned to look at her.

He naturally knew what she meant, but Lin Sheng wasn't certain he could open this space either.

Although the methods here were weaker than those on the skull, it was still the handiwork of a Main God after all.

Relying on technique, Lin Sheng felt it would be troublesome.

Relying on brute force, Lin Sheng was afraid he might blow up this entire starfield.
