387: Start with the side dishes

Qin Shilei never expected that not only had the other party set up three statues in a hidden place for Shiva to descend, but they had also found a divine child with a suitable physique.

From what the other party said, if Shiva descended through the divine child's clone, his strength would be even greater.

This was truly infuriating.

He feigned a look of pleasant surprise and asked, "Lair, are you that divine child? If you truly are, I am willing to acknowledge you as my master. I will follow you forever and help you expand your territory."

Lair's face flashed with a hint of joy. "Although I am not the divine child, the divine child is my subordinate. As long as you follow me, wealth and glory will surely be yours in the future."

Qin Shilei said with a slight hint of disappointment, "So the divine child is someone else. I wonder who it is?"

Lair smiled, "Who it is, I can't say clearly. You just need to know that Shiva can descend through the divine child's clone."

Qin Shilei glanced at the few people around Lair, but found nothing unusual.

"Lair, there are no outsiders here. It's better if you reveal it. That way, we can work together to protect the divine child and prevent Qin An King from accidentally killing him, which would prevent Shiva from descending."

Everyone also spoke up, demanding to see the divine child's true appearance.

Lair hesitated slightly, but finally shook his head. "Keeping the divine child hidden is the greatest protection for him. Furthermore, Shiva has already bestowed a treasure, so even Qin An King cannot instantly kill the divine child. As long as it's less than three seconds, Shiva can descend to Blue Star through the divine child."

Damn it.

Qin Shilei cursed inwardly, "Lair and Shiva have thought this through thoroughly."

Lair scanned everyone and spoke again, "To put everyone at ease, how about we go to the temple now and pay our respects to Shiva's clone?"

Everyone gladly went.

Qin Shilei, however, hesitated.

He wondered if Shiva's clone would be able to see through his disguise as a fake believer.

He hoped he wouldn't walk into a trap and become a laughingstock.

"Robert, let's go." Lair called out with a hint of suspicion.

"Okay, coming." Qin Shilei finally decided to test Shiva's true strength.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of a magnificent temple a few kilometers away.

Qin Shilei mingled with the crowd and entered the temple with them.

Including Qin Shilei, there were a total of thirty-nine Golden Experts, and in fact, half of them were not Shiva's believers.

But now that they were on his territory, they all piously worshipped the statue in the center of the temple.

Lair held a bracelet and mumbled something softly, likely communicating with Shiva in heaven through the bracelet.

For a split second, Qin Shilei thought about instantly teleporting to snatch the bracelet and then abducting Lair.

But he quickly restrained himself.

Shiva must have left more than one item that could communicate with him, and they should be in the hands of different people.

Simply snatching the bracelet would only alert the enemy and wouldn't stop Shiva's descent at all.

As the other party mumbled, Qin Shilei became increasingly vigilant, ready to destroy the statue and teleport away at any moment.

A powerful pressure suddenly appeared in the main hall.

Then, Shiva's phantom appeared in front of the statue, slowly solidifying until it resembled a human, but with six arms.

"Greetings, Shiva!"

The crowd kneeling below shouted in unison.

"Why do you have no faith in me?"

As Shiva's majestic voice rang out, Qin Shilei felt a cold gaze fall upon him.

"Can Shiva see through the Faceless Mask's disguise?"

Qin Shilei almost stood up and charged forward with his sword.

But he noticed that the other party said "you all," indicating that it wasn't directed specifically at him.

With a change of thought, he grasped the key point and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your God, I am a follower of the Illusionary Demon King, so I only have respect for Your God, not faith."

Several others also spoke up, stating that they were followers of Brahma or the Illusionary Demon King, which was why they had no faith in Shiva.

Lair also quickly explained, "Your God, they are all our India nationals who fled to our Gaston after being persecuted by Qin An King. Although they are not Your God's followers, we all share the same enemy. Please, Your God, do not blame them."

"Brahma and the Illusionary Demon King have already fallen. Even if your hearts are devout, it is impossible to receive a response from them. Why not convert to my faith, Shiva? As long as your faith is firm, you can receive the blessing of my power, and after death, you can be led into My God's kingdom. Why would you not?"

Shiva's voice carried a deceptive allure.

Immediately, two Golden Experts with shallow faith said devoutly, "I am willing to believe in Your God. Please, Your God, grant me invincible power."

Shiva pointed casually, and two beams of white light instantly shot into their bodies.

The two men's faces lit up with joy, and they bowed in gratitude, "Thank you for Your God's grace!"

Shiva said indifferently, "This is just a small reward. As long as you continue to strengthen your faith, you will surely receive even greater power from me."

Someone asked despondently, "Your God, has My God Brahma really fallen?"

Shiva's face turned cold, "Are you questioning my words?"

The person quickly said, "I wouldn't dare."

Upon learning that the deities they believed in had fallen, several more people joined Shiva's camp.

Qin Shilei was worried that if everyone believed in Shiva, he might be immediately exposed.

Fortunately, there were still eight loyal followers of Brahma and the Illusionary Demon King who firmly believed that their deities had not fallen.

Shiva glanced at Qin Shilei and the others, then turned to Lair and asked, "Do you have any news of Qin An King?"

Lair replied, "He should be in Tucsonburg at this time and should arrive in our Gaston within half a month."

Shiva said coldly, "Once you discover his whereabouts, notify me immediately. I will make him regret coming to this world."

"As you command!" Lair bowed in response.

Shiva glanced at Qin Shilei and the others again, then slowly disappeared into the air.

After seeing Shiva disappear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lair immediately adopted a condescending posture, "Everyone, I didn't lie to you, did I? By following me, we will surely kill Qin An King, and with the power of Your God, we will surely stand at the pinnacle of the world."

Qin Shilei ignored the other party's enticing words, secretly pondering how to eliminate all these people and send Shiva behind them back to his divine kingdom.

It seemed that the Faceless Mask's disguise effect was excellent; even Shiva's clone could not see through it.

In that case, he could first lie low and make plans after finding the divine child.

"But before that, I'll give you some trouble."

Qin Shilei's lips curved into a smile as he chuckled inwardly.

After parting ways with the others, he left Gaston. He found Ding Teng a thousand kilometers away, and after giving some instructions, he returned to Gaston.

Let's let you taste the appetizer of a zombie siege first.
