155: Chapter 155 The Power of Faith! A False God from Another World!

Looking at this description, Su Lin felt a bit surprised.

This was actually a Essence Spirit from another world, but it had been summoned here by an Ancestor?

And in its original world, because it was worshipped by something, it obtained the Power Of Faith, which is why it possessed this god-like power?

Power Of Faith.

He remembered that in the entertainment works of his past life, this was an extremely terrifying power that could condense a Godhead through faith and perform miracles through faith.

Unexpectedly, in this world, the Power Of Faith truly existed and could indeed create gods.

In other words, this thing really counted as a god.

It just wasn't a god from their world, but a god from another world.

However, that world might have a lower hierarchy, and the power ceiling of its gods was just like that.

So when their god came to this world, it only had the level of a Catastrophe Level Late Stage.

Of course, that had nothing to do with him; it should just obediently become his Materials.

Five-star Materials, not bad, not bad.

He walked over to the monster's original carcass again.

That enormous, tens-of-meters-long lizard-like body had now lost all its energy and turned into an Empty Shell.

"System, Extract."

[Extraction successful!]

[Obtained Materials: Carcass of the Alien Pseudo-God (3-star) — This was merely the temporary vessel used when the Alien Pseudo-God descended into this world, not its true body, but it still possessed a portion of the Pseudo-God's power, containing residual Power Of Faith.]

Su Lin looked at the massive carcass in the System Space and nodded with satisfaction.

Three-star Materials, not bad either.

Then, he looked around at the remains of those spirit-type monsters.

"System, Extract all."

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful!]

[Obtained Materials: Pseudo-God Creation Fragments (1-star) × 47]

[Obtained Materials: Pseudo-God Creation Fragments (0-star) × 256]

Su Lin looked at the descriptions of these Materials and was somewhat surprised.

They were all creations made by that Pseudo-God?

In other words, if that Pseudo-God were allowed to continue developing, it might have truly been able to develop into a real civilization?

No, that wouldn't just be creating a civilization; if given time, it might have been able to create an entire world.

After all, it already had dependents and even a Divine Domain; wasn't the next step to create a world?

Although it was just a low-tier version of a god, it was still a god nonetheless.

Su Lin felt a bit emotional.

But unfortunately, they met him.

They should just obediently become his Materials.

Su Lin extracted everything into Materials. Unfortunately, most of them were 0-star and 1-star, and the Materials were very mixed, containing all sorts of strange things.

There were things like claws, scales, feathers, and even eyes...

But Su Lin didn't care; as long as there was something, it was fine.

Even if it was just 0-star, he might be able to trade it on the black market; why not take it if it's there?

Meanwhile, Shen Qingci happened to walk out from the side, holding a small stone emitting a faint blue light in her hands.

Su Lin asked casually, "Did you find what you wanted?"

Shen Qingci nodded, reached out, and handed the small stone to Su Lin, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "I found it, it's this."

Su Lin just thought to himself, "System, appraise that item."

[Appraising...]

[Appraisal complete!]

[Item Name: Void Soul-Condensing Stone (3-star) — A crystal formed by condensed Void Realm energy, with extremely strong Yin attributes; it can assist females in Cultivate and has special strengthening effects for those on the Space Path.]

Su Lin looked at the appraisal results and immediately understood.

So it was a treasure with Yin attributes, helpful for female Cultivate, useless for males, and perhaps even harmful.

No wonder she said earlier, "This is something for women."

Moreover, this thing contained Void Realm energy, providing a powerful boost to those on the Space Path.

That was why Shen Qingci wanted it so much, even willing to pay such a huge price.

One had to know, this item was of 3-star quality.

Furthermore, since it was rated 3-star by the System, that was enough to show its rarity.

A trace of nervousness appeared on Shen Qingci's Face as she asked cautiously, "Um... are you really giving it to me? You won't go back on your word, right?"

Her eyes darted around, as if she were peeking at Su Lin's reaction, or perhaps worried that he would suddenly change his mind.

That appearance looked just like a child afraid of having their candy stolen.

Su Lin looked at Shen Qingci's cautious appearance and just smiled helplessly, saying, "I said I'd give it to you, so I will. Would I really go back on my word? Take it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci's eyes immediately lit up, and she said excitedly, "Thank you!"

She tightly gripped the small stone as if she were holding some priceless treasure.

Although she had felt earlier that Su Lin was a mysterious person who loved to beat around the bush, making him look like an old fox.

But after interacting along the way, he didn't seem that hard to get along with; in fact, he was quite generous.

At least he kept his word and didn't go back on it.

In this world where the weak are prey to the strong, that was already very rare.

However, Su Lin changed the subject and said, "So, where is your compensation?"

His tone was relaxed, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Lin Weixia's eyes sharpened, and she quickly leaned in, saying, "That's right, compensation! This was a treasure the Boss originally intended for me, and now that it's being given to you, you can't go back on your word!"

That tone and that expression were just like a little creditor collecting a debt.

This was something the Boss originally intended for her, and now that it was given away, although she didn't say anything, she still felt a little disappointed inside.

Therefore, the compensation must be substantial!

Upon hearing this, the touch of emotion Shen Qingci had felt earlier instantly vanished.

Her mouth twitched as she looked at this pair of "siblings," and that bit of emotion in her heart instantly disappeared completely.

"Alright, alright, I won't welch on the deal!"

As she spoke, she reached into the Void Realm, rummaged around, pulled out a box, and handed it to Su Lin.

"This contains the compensation I promised you—a batch of Cultivate Materials and a batch of extraordinary items, they're all in here."

"Actually, I didn't bring too much with me this time when I came out, this is all there is."

By the end, she lacked confidence, fearing that Su Lin wouldn't be satisfied.

Su Lin took the box, opened it, and saw that it was indeed filled with all sorts of things.

Spiritual Plants, Ore, potions, talismans, props... everything you could imagine.

Moreover, after System appraisal, they were all 1-star or higher, and there were even quite a few 2-star items.

Although the quality wasn't extremely high, it won out in quantity and variety.

He could continue his Cultivate again tonight!

Su Lin nodded and put the box away.

Seeing him accept the items, Shen Qingci finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she really hadn't brought much with her this time.

After all, she had only come to get a Cultivate treasure and had originally planned to leave immediately after getting it, or run away if she couldn't.

She hadn't expected to run into Su Lin midway.

She had originally thought that since he was a high-ranking member of the Gray Mist Council with a terrifying existence suspected to be a god standing behind him, she was afraid he wouldn't look down upon her meager possessions.

But he still accepted them, mostly likely because he saw that her sincerity was sufficient and her attitude was earnest, so he gave her some Face and didn't want to make things too embarrassing for her.

Thinking of this, the look in Shen Qingci's eyes as she gazed at Su Lin became even more complex.

There was gratitude, admiration, and a trace of indescribable trust.

Su Lin sensed her gaze and immediately said speechlessly, "Why do you keep looking at me like that? You haven't stopped since just now..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci immediately snapped out of it.

She quickly averted her gaze and waved her hands in a flustered manner, "D-do I? You must have seen wrong!"

However, she quickly regained her composure.

She pulled a palm-sized silver disc from her bosom; its surface was engraved with complex runes, emitting faint energy fluctuations.

"This is for you." She handed the disc over, "Didn't you say last time that it was inconvenient to contact each other? I specially prepared this."

Su Lin took the disc and examined it carefully.

He didn't recognize a single one of the dense runes on it, but he could sense a pure stream of space energy contained within.

Shen Qingci explained, "This is a communication Magical Artifact, a very precious item. It can be used to communicate from anywhere, is not affected by environmental interference, and cannot be wiretapped."

"As long as you inject spiritual energy, you can establish a connection with me, and we can talk in real-time no matter how far apart we are."

"In the future, if there's anything you need help with, or any intelligence to exchange, just use this to contact me, and I'll be there whenever you call."

Su Lin was stunned and said with some surprise, "You were hiding things?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci was startled, instinctively shielding the small bag she carried, and said in a panic, "No, there really isn't any more! This is the only one! This was an extraordinary item I used for myself, and now I've given it to you!"

Her action of shielding the small bag, combined with that nervous expression, looked just like a little hamster protecting its food.

Su Lin looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright, I was teasing you." He waved his hand and casually put the item into the System Space, "Then I'll accept it; let's stay in touch if anything comes up."

Shen Qingci nodded and said seriously, "Mm, if you need help in the future, you can contact me; I won't refuse."

As she spoke, she yawned and said, "Alright, I'll be going first then. I'm so tired, I need to take a rest."

After speaking, the space around her rippled.

The next second, she vanished on the spot.

Su Lin didn't mind; he looked at the direction where Shen Qingci had vanished, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

This haul was a huge profit.

Not only did he get five-star Materials and three-star Materials, but also a pile of miscellaneous Materials.

He also established a connection with Shen Qingci and gained a favor.

Most importantly, he successfully elevated the prestige of the Gray Mist Council.

Judging from Shen Qingci's reaction, the effect should be quite good.

In the future, if he had a need, he might be able to obtain more intelligence and resources through her.

Su Lin withdrew his thoughts and looked at Lin Weixia.

"Let's go, it's time to head back."
