Chapter 979 - 434: Oh No, I’ve Really Become the Three Gods!
Logically, the Holy Son should have descended by now, but there has been no response.
The faith of the believers has been fully stirred, even to the point of burning their heart and spirit. If the Holy Son cannot descend this time, it may shake our foundation."
Gray Robe’s words were filled with tension.
The Three Deceits Cult has summoned the Holy Son more than once. Although the Holy Son who descended did not possess divine power or authority, he was the spiritual belief of the Three Deceits Cult.
Recently, the Three Deceits Cult has been severely suppressed. The Federation acts as if mad, leaving no place untouched in their efforts, seemingly determined to eradicate the church entirely.
They have had to lay low. The opportunity to hold this ceremony came only because the blood-colored Ancient Path manifested, drawing the attention of the Human Race and the myriad races, giving them a chance.
They had hoped to seize this opportunity to rally, boost morale, and simultaneously gather divine grace and faith.
But they didn’t expect such a situation to arise.
The Holy Son shows no signs of descending.
If the Holy Son does not descend, it will surely cause discord among the believers. Already suppressed by the Federation, the faith among believers has recently begun to waver.
If a mishap occurs again, this frantic faith will undoubtedly collapse. By then, the Three Deceits Cult will lose its fundamental footing!!
"This True King Competition is of great importance to all races. The upper echelons of the Federation also know something about it. Even the long-vanished Heavenly Communication Master has appeared on the Ancient Path. There must be secrets unknown to us within it."
Chen Yuan’s voice was aged and composed.
"You mean... the lack of the Holy Son’s descent has something to do with the True King Competition?" Red Robe asked tentatively.
Chen Yuan nodded: "That’s just one possibility. Another possibility could also lead to divine revulsion..."
"And that is uncleanliness..."
Chen Yuan said softly.
"Uncleanliness!!"
"Uncleanliness??"
Chen Yuan’s words instantly terrified the three Bishops.
Uncleanliness refers to impure faith, meaning within this faith there’s a belief other than that in the Three Gods.
The existence of the Three Gods is extremely special. Any hint of impure or unclean faith will make them feel revulsion, causing them not to descend.
Therefore, if there is belief in another god mixed within, it could indeed affect the descent of the Holy Son.
But this is impossible...
Because the faith of the Three Gods has a strong devouring and spreading nature. Even if the followers of another god are mixed within the Tri-Deity Cult, they will be influenced by other believers and the infection of faith, thus converting to followers of the Three Gods.
Historically, other gods’ followers have mixed into the Three Deceits Cult, only to become the most loyal disciples of the Three Gods.
Hence, they never considered this direction.
Yet Chen Yuan’s words served as a reminder to them. With cosmic chaos looming and the gods set to return, and with the shackles of subspace loosened, it’s possible there’s an ’unclean’ presence among them.
Due to this uncleanliness, the Holy Son cannot descend.
"You mean..." White Robe asked.
"Tomorrow is the seventh day of the gods. Before this, we must fully commit to our faith, seeking out any uncleanliness, destroying its source, and if none is found..."
Chen Yuan’s voice paused, calm yet carrying a sharp scent of blood.
"The Three Deceits Cult shall battle external gods, the Holy Son shall descend, leading us to resist to god’s extinction. Eventually, all high-ranking believers shall emerge for the Holy Son, Sect Leader Chen Yuan shall bear severe injuries, preserving the doctrines. You three shall succeed my position and continue to preach."
Upon hearing this, the three present couldn’t help standing up.
The principle of sacrificing pawns to protect the commander they understood well, having done so more than once.
But this time, the pawns to be sacrificed seemed too great; that involved all high-ranking followers of all factions, if destroyed, the entire Three Deceits Cult, excluding the higher echelons, would suffer losses of over seventy percent.
Such a degree of sacrifice, even for the three of them, was somewhat unimaginable.
"Don’t focus solely on the present, chaos shall rise, a great calamity approaches, I’ve seen the descent of god!!"
"All of this is for the glory of that moment!!"
"All sacrifices and destruction are valuable!"
Chen Yuan spread his arms wide, as if embracing a brand new world.
Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the three Bishops instantly filled with anticipation, and then cold killing intent slowly surged.
Sect Leader Chen Yuan has a close connection with the Three Gods, more accurate even than the so-called prophecy.
He said the Three Gods will descend, thus in the near future, the gods will surely arrive!!
"Good!! The people of the Ancestor Star are not blessed enough to enjoy the divine grace of the Three Gods, so let us let the Star River feel the compassion of my gods instead!!"
Red Robe exclaimed excitedly, the blood-red robe on him seemed to come alive, with a multitude of fresh blood flowing across it.
Gray Robe and White Robe said nothing, each with smiles forming at the corners of their mouths.
"First, let us begin searching for the unclean."
"I’m curious as to what kind of faith can resist being assimilated by the Three Gods..."
Chen Yuan spoke, his gaze directed towards the believers immersed in the agony of heart and spirit, and the three Bishops simultaneously stood to scrutinize the faith, searching for the ’unclean’ within.
Yet, what they didn’t realize was that at this moment, every move and word of theirs was being watched by someone.
"’Unclean’... to call me that, is indeed... impolite."
A ’shadow’ constantly traversing within faith thought to itself.
That shadow continued to gather, ultimately materializing into a handsome, unparalleled young man; that shadow was undoubtedly Su Tu!!
Upon being pierced by that bizarre tree, Su Tu sensed his existence was being erased. As ’human,’ this concept was fundamentally sealed.
However, at that moment, divine skills finally completed their fusion.
[Final Chapter: I Am in All Things]
[Eternal: As long as there are enough anchor points and thoughts related to you, even if sealed from the source of concepts, you can resurrect from them]
[Swan Song: The damage you cause can form the swan song of destruction. Once the ’music score’ plays, all shall fall silent.]
[I Am in All Things: You can seize whatever you need from all things; as long as your strength is great enough, even ’concept’ and ’existence’ can be seized.]
[All Things in Me: Not unlocked]
[Unlock conditions: Return from complete obliteration.]
Before him, the skill introduction of the Final Chapter: I Am in All Things appeared.
The first ability of I Am in All Things is truly a glitch. In theory, as long as enough people know of Su Tu and think of him, he can resurrect infinitely.
Even if reduced to ashes, if causalities are broken, he can emerge from nothing, eternally indestructible.
But to activate Eternal, extremely strong thoughts and anchor points are needed. Just relying on Su Tu’s friends and family is far from enough to support the ’anchor points’ of Eternal.
However, just as Lin An and others were about to sacrifice themselves to save Su Tu.
He suddenly felt the flicker of a red anchor point.
Indeed!! That was faith from the Tri-Deity Cult, more precisely, faith from the Eternal Venerable God!!
He had once saved the Hua Family brothers, letting them enter the Three Deceits Cult to spread the faith.
And the essence of the Eternal Venerable God is a small Xue Yue construct, being no different from the Three Gods’ faith, perhaps even higher in status.
Therefore, even Chen Yuan and others could not detect any abnormality.
The Hua Family brothers haven’t been idle these days, having become high-ranking believers. Although they haven’t spread much of the faith, they managed to mix the faith of the Eternal Venerable God with the faith of the Three Gods.
Forming a sufficiently solid anchor point, an anchor point enough to deploy ’Eternal’!!
Thus, Su Tu severed the formation of the Three Talents Array, decisively activating ’Eternal,’ emerging within the faith of the Tri-Deity Cult.
His current state is peculiar, somewhere between reality and void.
"Trouble, I really have become one of the Three Gods!"
Su Tu murmured quietly.
His gaze turned to a void visible only to him, a sleeping child’s shadow with form, but no spirit.
