78: Belief in deities!!

A month later, Dawn Moon officially held her coronation ceremony, wearing the Queen's crown embedded with a corruption core.

Her ambition extended far beyond this; she intended to create a million-strong Corrupted Legion, cross the Great Chasm, overthrow the Eternal Night Empire, and achieve true unification!

Seeing this, Lu Chen exclaimed, "Awesome!"

He had chosen two Chosen Ones: one became a prisoner, and the other only knew how to farm, living in isolation.

He had misjudged them all. If he had known, he should have chosen Dawn Moon.

Of course, it wasn't too late to choose now; at least he could get a little more settlement reward!

One shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket. With three Chosen Ones, one was bound to succeed.

"Greetings, Our Emperor!" Hundreds of ministers knelt uniformly below the altar, their foreheads pressed to the ground.

The High Priest, holding a jade scepter, was loudly reciting the sacrificial text.

Suddenly, the clear sky changed color, and ink-black clouds gathered, forming a giant vortex.

A dazzling golden light shot out from the center of the vortex, transforming into a colossal golden eye that overshadowed the sky, gazing coldly and dispassionately at Empress Dawn Moon below.

Dawn Moon felt her whole body tremble, as if a thousand-pound weight had been placed on her shoulders.

She looked up at the sky, and Lu Chen's voice echoed like thunder between heaven and earth: "Dawn Moon! I bestow upon you the Chosen! You have one hundred years. Within one hundred years, you must destroy the Chaotic Continent! Otherwise, I will destroy the entire world! All life!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

With nine muffled thuds, under the gaze of all, the usually majestic Empress knelt on both knees, kowtowing nine times, her voice trembling with excitement: "I respectfully obey the Heavenly Mandate! Dawn Moon will absolutely complete the mission!"

The ministers, unable to hear the voice, exchanged bewildered glances.

The Empress's acting was too realistic! It made it seem as if a Heavenly God had truly descended, yet everyone knew that the heaven-worshipping was merely part of the ceremony.

Dawn Moon was shocked as she felt the changes in her body. She had become a Chosen One, gaining the Chosen ability—Plunder Fusion!

She could plunder the abilities of other Chosen Ones to achieve double or even multiple effects.

Instantly, Dawn Moon understood that White Ember must also be a Chosen One, and his Corruption ability was acquired this way.

If she could find a way to strip White Ember of his Chosen Luck, wouldn't she then have dual Chosen abilities?!

..."It's over, it's over. The bride and groom can't make it. A landslide and mudslide have blocked the road."

At this moment, someone at the wedding banquet panicked, and all the guests stood up in shock.

What could be done?

It was a joyous wedding day.

Everything was ready, but the bride and groom couldn't come. What now?

"Sigh, a natural disaster, nothing can be done. The road administration has been called, but it will take at least three days to clear."

In a corner, Lu Chen slowly wiped his mouth and stood up.

Qin Zihan, who had been secretly observing him, immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

"To the restroom."

Qin Zihan bit her lower lip: "I originally wanted to drive over to see the situation..."

"What's there to see? Can you move those stones?" Lu Chen chuckled lightly and walked towards the restroom without looking back.

Qin Zihan looked at his retreating back and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She had misjudged Lu Chen; she hadn't expected him to be so indifferent.

She also realized that the Lu Chen she liked was no longer the one in front of her, but the Lu Chen from high school who secretly watched her and, on rainy days, would rather get soaked himself than not lend her his umbrella.

Lu Chen went to the restroom, and after confirming no one was around, his figure flickered and he vanished from the spot.

His figure transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky, instantly suspended a thousand meters high.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his powerful Divine Sense spread out like a tide, instantly locking onto the wedding convoy trapped on the winding mountain road.

With a sway of his body, he appeared above the accident scene on the mountaintop in the blink of an eye.

Looking down, the sight was shocking: huge rocks lay across the center of the road, and mud, entwined with broken trees, completely blocked the entire road.

Twelve lavishly decorated Mercedes wedding cars were trapped in the middle, sealed off by mudslides both front and back.

Some people futilely tried to move the rocks, some anxiously made phone calls, and more looked at the disaster scene before them with despair.

Lu Chen gently exhaled.

The giant rocks suddenly floated up as lightly as feathers, the mud rapidly flowed back as if a video was played in reverse, and the broken trees stood upright again.

Even more miraculously, the wedding cars, stained with mud and water, were restored to new, and even the bride's soiled wedding dress became pristine white again.

"This... how is this possible?!" The groom, Jin Yu, widened his eyes, and his phone "clattered" to the ground.

The bride, Lin Xia, covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the incredible scene before them: the road, which had just been a mess, was now as smooth as new, without even a scratch.

"A deity has appeared!" The groom's father suddenly knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing towards the nearby local temple.

Others also followed suit, kneeling and bowing.

[Divine Faith +1, Spiritual Qi recovery progress +0.001%]

[Divine Faith +1, Spiritual Qi recovery progress +0.001%]

...What the hell??

Lu Chen looked at the information popping up from the heavenly dao system and was startled.

[Respected host, the more miracles you display in this world, and the more faith you accumulate, the faster your Spiritual Qi recovery speed will be.]

Lu Chen was speechless, "What does Spiritual Qi recovery have to do with me? Aren't there any rewards?"

[10,000 Faith Points can be exchanged for 1 point of heavenly dao energy.]

Lu Chen rolled his eyes: "Are you sick? Ten thousand Faith Points for only 1 point of heavenly dao energy! That's too little."

[It's not little. Your Earth has 7 billion people. If everyone believed in deities, just imagine how much faith that would be.]

Lu Chen's eyes lit up: "So, you mean? As long as they believe in deities, no matter which deity, all the faith points go to me??"

[Of course, because you are the Heavenly Dao, you are the only Supreme God. Not just deities, but as long as people believe in supernatural things in this world like monsters, ghosts, superheroes, cultivation, etc., you can gain Faith Points.]

[However, it must be created and intervened by you to increase Faith Points. For example, many people believe in Monkey King. These Faith Points do not belong to you, unless you play or find someone to play Monkey King, making people believe your Monkey King is real.]

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, "Playing a deity? How do I play?"

[The corresponding function is expected to be available at Heavenly Dao Level 5. Please look forward to it.]

Interesting.

Too interesting!

This meant that Lu Chen would not only cultivate Small Worlds in the future, but on Earth, he could gain Faith Points by creating monsters, ghosts, and superpowers.

If he could make 1 billion people believe, that would be 1 million heavenly dao energy! Heavenly Dao Level 10 would be within reach!

Lu Chen flew back to the banquet.

At this moment, someone excitedly cheered: "It's clear! The road is clear! The convoy is all smooth and will be here soon."

Celebratory cheers erupted at the scene.

Many people nearby gossiped: "I heard that the local Earth God appeared and cleared all the mudslides."

"Haha, Auntie, what era is this? You still believe in such things. It must have just been a strong wind that cleared the ground."

"If you don't believe it, fine. Many people saw it with their own eyes. An Earth God appeared, and even the bride's dress, which was dirty, was blown clean."

"The more you talk, the more Xuanhuan it gets. Is it real or fake? How about after dinner, I go and worship? Ask him for a brother with an eight-pack and who plays Valorant!"

Qin Zihan saw Lu Chen return from the restroom and excitedly said, "Lu Chen, good news, the road is clear."

Lu Chen: "Oh."

Qin Zihan frowned: "Why do you seem not surprised at all?"

Lu Chen coughed: "I heard it in the restroom just now."

As an ace salesperson, Qin Zihan keenly caught the micro-expression of Lu Chen lying, but she didn't understand why he was lying. Going to the restroom wasn't something to hide, so why lie? What did he do in the restroom?!

Qin Zihan's face flushed. Impossible, Lu Chen was definitely not such a pervert.

Could it be that he found her too beautiful and couldn't help himself, but it shouldn't be during the day... Oh, how annoying.

Her charm was simply too great; it wasn't Lu Chen's fault.

Qin Zihan suddenly fantasized, if Lu Chen asked her for help, would she help? Oh no, what was she thinking?

Qin Zihan's ears turned completely red, and she quickly stood up: "I... I'm also going to the restroom!"

Lu Chen was speechless, inexplicably. Why did Qin Zihan's entire face suddenly turn red?

She rushed to the restroom, constantly looking back at him.

Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to guess a woman's thoughts.

He continued to observe the Small World.

Holy cow, in the time he was just distracted, six years had already passed in the Small World!

The entire world's landscape had undergone earth-shattering changes!
