Realm of the Night God

Chapter 650: Enhancing Strength

Why hadn't the Spirit Master appeared yet? Yang Haoran finally thought of a possible reason at this moment.

The Spirit Master had caused chaos in the world to make the Seal God Platform appear. Only with the Seal God Platform could their Spirit God in mind have a chance to become a god.

Apart from that, to make their Spirit God in mind become a god, relying solely on the Seal God Platform was not enough. They also needed a sufficient amount of faith. Without sufficient faith, even if the Seal God Platform appeared, their Spirit God would not be able to become a god.

To gain more faith, they had to have more believers. The more believers they had, the more naturally their faith would grow.

There were many ways to gain more believers, such as preaching and brainwashing, or buying people's hearts. However, there was one thing they couldn't do - harm the interests of their target, no matter how small the benefit. Once they did, their reputation would be ruined, and it would spread quickly, making it difficult to recruit believers later.

Not only couldn't they do anything that would harm their target's interests, but they should also try to solve some problems for their target without seeking reward. Solving even minor problems could have a significant impact and leave a good impression on their target.

A bad reputation would spread quickly, causing their image to deteriorate. On the other hand, a good reputation would also spread quickly, making their image more impressive.

In Yang Haoran's view, the Spirit Master hadn't appeared yet because they wanted to stay out of the way, not letting ordinary people think that the chaos in the world was related to them. Once ordinary people gradually accepted the fact of the chaotic world, the Spirit Master could appear as a savior, making it much easier to recruit believers.

Although this was just his speculation, he felt it was highly possible. The Spirit Master's reason for not appearing yet might be exactly this.

"If the facts are really as I've speculated, then the Spirit Master will definitely take some time to appear."Thinking this, Yang Haoran decided to wait and observe, waiting for the Spirit Master to take the initiative to appear. During this time, he had to think of ways to enhance his own strength. Refining soul pills was just one aspect; apart from that, he also needed to find ways to acquire Ghost Techniques.

For several days, Yang Haoran didn't leave the villa. He first refined the selected souls into soul pills and then focused on refining soul pills to enhance his strength while keeping an eye on the outside world.

The Spirit Master still hadn't appeared, which made Yang Haoran even more convinced of his speculation.

Although the Spirit Master hadn't appeared, demons and ghosts were appearing every day. Ordinary people were gradually accepting the fact that demons and ghosts existed in this world, but their fear hadn't decreased; instead, it had become even more intense. They lived in fear, day and night, especially at night, when no one dared to go out except for the mentally ill. Every household locked their doors tightly, not even daring to turn on lights or make any noise.

The Spirit Police were extremely busy, working hard to ensure the safety of ordinary people and maintain order in Lecheng. They had to fight against these demons and ghosts, and some Spirit Police were injured, with a few even losing their lives.

Despite paying such a high price, they still couldn't guarantee the safety of every ordinary person. Many ordinary people had died in these few days.

The situation in Lecheng was still not optimistic, but fortunately, the Administrative Bureau was no longer as chaotic as it was at the beginning. They had taken targeted measures to respond to the situation, trying to make the Administrative Bureau operate normally.

To enhance the official power, the Administrative Bureau publicly recruited talents, offering extremely generous conditions. As long as one had real abilities, they could enter the Administrative Bureau and become an official!

The Administrative Bureau's approach had indeed taken effect. Some non-ordinary people hidden among ordinary people had chosen to join the Administrative Bureau, becoming officials and working for the bureau.

Like the Spirit Police, the Lecheng Yin Division has been extremely busy lately, not only having to be constantly on guard against spirit masters but also having to subdue undead and ghosts. Master Wu has not had a wink of sleep for several days and nights.

Although Master Wu's body has the power to support him, he is, after all, advanced in age, and several days and nights without sleep have still taken a toll on his body, making him look visibly exhausted.

Today is a special day, as it marks the seventh day of the global chaos. On this day, the souls of those who died during the global chaos will condense into spirits, which is why the workload of the Yin Division will be extremely heavy tonight.

To avoid any accidents, Yang Haoran decided to personally go out and take charge tonight, so after dark, he did not continue to stay in the villa to refine soul pills but left the villa.

In the past few days, Yang Haoran's strength has once again made a significant leap, with a huge difference compared to a few days ago. After all, he has refined a considerable number of soul pills, making it difficult for his strength not to increase rapidly.

Although his strength has increased significantly, he did not show it off but instead, as usual, tried to suppress the fluctuations of his internal power to the lowest level, making it seem as if there was no significant difference from before.

Originally, Yang Haoran had planned to use the refined soul pills to enhance the strength of Master Wu and the Night Watch under his command, but after some thought, he temporarily gave up on this idea.

Master Wu and the Night Watch's strength definitely needed to be enhanced, but using the soul pills he refined was not suitable. If anything went wrong, it would be difficult to explain where these soul pills came from.

To minimize risks and avoid trouble, he decided to obtain soul pills from the underworld and then use them to enhance the strength of Master Wu and the other Night Watch, which would be foolproof.

As Yang Haoran had anticipated, the number of ghosts in Lecheng tonight reached an astonishing level, turning the entire Lecheng into a ghost paradise. Fortunately, with the help of the Spirit Police and Yang Haoran's personal intervention, they were able to subdue all the ghosts in the shortest time possible, without causing significant losses to Lecheng.

Otherwise, relying solely on the power of the ten Night Watch, they would not only be unable to subdue all the ghosts before dawn but might also suffer significant casualties, as the large number of ghosts would attract powerful ghosts that ordinary Night Watch could not handle.

As for ordinary people, it was even more unthinkable, as they would be likely to be scared to death even by ordinary undead, let alone powerful and aggressive ghosts.

After handling the situation, Yang Haoran took away all the souls in the hands of the Night Watch, but he did not immediately give them pure yin qi. Instead, he let Master Wu do the registration.

Then, he tore through space and headed to the Death God Temple in the town, where he found the Night Watch guarding the temple, inquired about the recent situation, and gave them encouragement before taking away the souls in their hands.

The souls they had were significantly different from those of the Night Watch in the city, but he still did the registration, as he would need to reward them according to the souls they submitted.

After collecting all the souls, Yang Haoran did not return to the villa but tore through space and headed to Ancheng.

Taking advantage of the daytime, he planned to visit the underworld, where he would exchange the souls in his hand for soul pills and receive the reward of ten soul pills. After all, soul pills were extremely important to him, and the more he had, the more confident he would be.

Apart from these two reasons, he had another important task to attend to in the underworld, which was to see if he could obtain powerful Ghost Techniques.

He did not have a good plan in mind for achieving his desired outcome and could only seek Master Jiang's help after arriving in the underworld, as Master Jiang was the ghost attendant of the underworld and should know more about this aspect.

The reason he did not summon the Ghost Gate but instead tore through space to Ancheng was that he wanted to see Xu Meijing and inquire about the situation in Ancheng, whether there was anything that needed his help, and then ask Xu Meijing if she wanted to accompany him to the underworld.
