The man in white clothes bowed deeply at ninety degrees, paying a profound respect to Su Tu.
This scene left Su Tu somewhat bewildered.
He vaguely remembered that when they first met, this person had a decent attitude towards him, but it was by no means respectful, at most it was akin to the interaction between colleagues.
But this meeting was completely different.
This person actually addressed him as ’sir,’ just like those ordinary followers before.
Originally, Su Tu thought this form of address was a respectful title used by followers for the Spirit Hosts, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.
His eyes darted around, clearly showing that the Tri-Deity Cult had some misunderstandings about him.
During the Paradise incident, the Three Deceits Cult definitely had ways to see his presence, and naturally they were aware that the remains of those three hundred cultists were related to him, but even in such a situation, this Spirit Host was still so respectful.
It seemed this misunderstanding was not just an ordinary one....
Su Tu cleared his throat, his voice becoming calm and tranquil.
"We are all Tri-Deity people, no need for excessive courtesy."
"Everything for the Tri-Deity."
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds skill, and with the experience from the Paradise journey, Su Tu had become very proficient in this mysterious and obscure tone.
If you didn’t see the person and only heard the voice, even Zhou Wuliang and Li Hu would assume it was a Three-Deceit Cultist.
Upon hearing Su Tu’s words, the Spirit Host seemed to have heard some profound truth.
Endlessly savoring Su Tu’s words.
His body trembled with excitement.
"We are all Tri-Deity people, sir you mean, regardless of status, as long as we believe in the Tri-Deity, we are equals!"
"Tri-Deity followers, bathed in Divine Grace, equal because of the Tri-Deity, coexisting because of the Tri-Deity!!"
He looked at Su Tu with excitement, as if he had gained new understanding of the doctrine.
Seeing his demeanor, Su Tu instantly understood this guy’s nature; this fellow definitely had a wild imagination!!
A random word he said had been imagined who knows how by this guy.
Though he inwardly criticized, Su Tu’s face remained calm, with an unexplainable composure.
"Unexpectedly, I actually met someone on Ancestor Star who understands me."
"You... why do you call me sir?"
Su Tu spoke mildly, sensing that this Spirit Host really bought into this mystical stuff.
The Spirit Host almost fainted upon hearing Su Tu’s first words, for someone like this Spirit Host who lived primarily for faith, someone like Su Tu, rich in ’belief,’ was almost equivalent to a messenger of the Tri-Deity in his eyes.
Su Tu said he understood him, which indirectly meant he understood the Tri-Deity!!!
This nearly caused the Spirit Host to faint from happiness.
In the moment, he actually forgot to respond to Su Tu’s question. It took a while for him to realize the question Su Tu had just asked.
Instantly, his face turned incredibly red.
He suddenly raised his left hand to his face and then tore forcefully.
With a splat.
Blood erupted immediately, and half of his face was brutally torn off.
"Sir, forgive my rudeness. I was too proud of your appreciation to respond to your words immediately."
"Please forgive me."
With half his face torn off, the Spirit Host’s face became a gruesome mess of flesh and blood, yet the zeal in his words did not diminish in the slightest.
Upon witnessing this scene, Su Tu involuntarily took a sharp breath.
These Three-Deceit Cultists were indeed a group of lunatics!
Who in their right mind would tear off half of their face over a disagreement?
His expression unchanged, he merely looked at the Spirit Host indifferently, his eyes neither joyful nor angry.
The more he acted this way, the more reverent the Spirit Host became.
"Why do you call me sir?"
He asked again.
This time the Spirit Host hurried to answer: "Sir’s words and deeds are full of profound meaning, which shall remain unknown to superficial people."
"But we Spirit Hosts, as the purest followers of the Tri-Deity, can see through all concealments to witness the genuine greatness of sir!"
"You chose this body, as Li Hu’s junior and Zhou Wuliang’s student, putting yourself in the most perilous position, betting on Ancestor Star, where Zhou Wuliang is suppressed by Ancestor Star and cannot see through your Heart and Spirit!"
"Even though your heart felt like it was being cut with a knife, you still prevented Divine Grace from descending, killed the evil Martial Artists, and guided the people of Ancestor Star to yearn for the Martial Arts Dao, those who entered the Martial Arts Dao because of you, their fortune would naturally connect with you, and also with the Tri-Deity!"
"Finally, your most magnificent feat is... seeing through the Evil God Bakalu’s plot, uncovering his attempts to steal the Tri-Deity followers, even weeping to slay the believers who strayed from the doctrine to warn us all!"
The fellow found a perfect reason for himself.
At this point, the man in white was sobbing uncontrollably.
"I know, in your eyes believers are equal, but you yourself killed those three hundred co-believers, I can’t imagine how painful your feelings must have been at that time..."
The Spirit Host’s words left Su Tu not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
What in the world was this guy imagining!!
His absurd actions had been elevated to such greatness by this guy’s imagination.
Especially the Paradise incident, could it really be twisted like this??
He killed three hundred of their believers and even destroyed a Subspace, yet they wanted to thank him?
This was something Su Tu never expected.
When reckoning comes with the Three-Deceit Cult on Ancestor Star in the future, this guy must definitely be kept, with him around, his identity is practically immutable.
Su Tu even felt that even if he publicly eradicated the Three-Deceit Cultists, this guy would find a reason to justify it.
"Unexpectedly, someone truly understands my profound intentions."
"The Tri-Deity Cult, having you is a blessing."
Su Tu’s voice was gentle, and he looked at the Spirit Host with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Which thrilled the Spirit Host even more.
"Sir, you are too kind, although the Paradise plan was regrettable, being able to see through Bakalu’s scheming is equivalent to erasing a catastrophic future in its budding stage."
"Though it may affect the overall layout of the Church, compared to defeating the backup plans of an Evil God, it is well worth it!"
"Overall plan!" Su Tu immediately caught the key point.
As expected, the Three Deceits Cult is lurking on the Ancestor Star, and it can’t possibly have only one Paradise plan. He had previously speculated that there were other layouts and methods at play.
Now, the Spirit Host’s words confirmed Su Tu’s suspicions.
"How are the other plans going?" Su Tu inquired casually.
"Some are on hold, but it doesn’t have much impact."
"The Suffering Nun plan is being executed steadily, and over a hundred Suffering Nuns have already been cultivated.
Initially, it was intended to trigger large-scale slaughter through the Paradise plan, then let the Divine Thought erupt to search for traces of the Tri-Deity, and in passing, restore the Reveren’s strength. But now the plan has changed, and the plan for Reveren’s revival has a new approach."
"We will ignite everything on the grandest day of the Ancestor Star!"
These words made Su Tu frown. The grandest day of the Ancestor Star — isn’t that the day of the martial examination?
Unexpectedly, these Three Deceits Cults had the audacity to target the martial exam!
Moreover, just what on earth is this Suffering Nun? Just hearing its name makes it sound ominous.
Su Tu was pondering when the Spirit Host’s next words made his heart shudder.
"The Training Camp will begin registration, and our people will join it. At that time, they will find you, sir, and assist you in the slaughter within the Training Camp."
"The more you’re regarded on the Ancestor Star, the more it benefits our plan!"
The Spirit Host spoke respectfully.
"Even the Training Camp has been infiltrated by these guys?? And... in their eyes, I’m a Spirit Host. The more attention I receive, it should pose a greater risk of exposure. But the other side sent people to the Training Camp to help me, hoping I would gain importance,
This situation suggests one possibility..."
Su Tu’s eyebrows slightly knit — among the higher-ups... there are people from the Three Deceits Cult. The more attention I receive, the more reason that person has to assist me...
"What a game of Werewolf..." Su Tu thought to himself.
He then spoke in a light, airy tone, "As it should be."
"Sir, you’ve labored hard." The Spirit Host didn’t realize at all that he currently belonged to bewolves, exposing their identity, and thanking Su Tu.
Then, he reached out and took out a small black box.
Buzz!!!
The moment that object was taken out, not even opened, Su Tu felt the red moon of the Original World... had gone mad!!
Yes, that’s right, the red moon at this moment was trembling wildly in the Original World.
The entire moon body churned continuously in the firmament, moving and shifting, as the blood-red light illuminated the entire Original World.
Little Bakalu, hiding in the sheepfold, watched the frenzied red moon and hugged himself tightly.
"Whimpering, what is this guy going to do? He’s not trying to eat me, is he!!"
Waves of euphoria transmitted into Su Tu’s mind.
"I beg you, I must eat!!"
"Eat him, it’s mine!"
"..God, God!!!"
"Origin... a trace...!"
The fluctuations of the red moon became erratic and continuously sounded in Su Tu’s mind.
This had never happened before.
Even last time, after eating so many candies, Xue Yue wasn’t as thrilled as this.
If back then Xue Yue was eating candies and cakes, then the feeling the current object gives is equivalent to a full course Manchu-Han banquet.
Su Tu suppressed the urge to snatch the black box over.
"This is..."
"I applied for the ’gaze’ of the Compassionate Bone Father for you."
"Given your body is favored by Martial Arts Dao fortune, a profusion of ordinary Divine Thoughts can easily be extinguished. Thus, I applied for this ’gaze’."
"With this gaze, it can serve to obscure, preventing Martial Arts Dao fortune from realizing your heart and spirit are unaligned, thereby extinguishing your heart and spirit."
Upon hearing this, Su Tu’s eyes lit up unexpectedly.
"The gaze of the Compassionate Bone Father!!"
After deciding to touch base with the Three Deceits Cult, Li Hu thoroughly briefed Su Tu about every aspect of the Three Deceits Cult
The Three Deceits Cult worships three deceitful gods, the Compassionate Blood Mother, who administers Divine Grace, is in charge of pain. By offering sacrifices of pain, one can obtain various blessings.
The Compassionate Bone Father oversees preaching. Any existence from which the teaching of the Three Deceits Cult arises in the heart will be seen by it, hence becoming a follower of the Tri-Deity.
The Child of the Muddy World is the most mysterious, with ordinary cultists not even qualifying to behold its statue. Li Hu knows little about that deity. This content belongs to NoveI[F]ire.net
The only information about the Divine Son is found in the Bible of the Three Deceits Cult.
The Bible states that the Divine Son is omnipresent, slumbers among all beings and outside all beings. Should a day come when the Divine Grace is sufficient, the Divine Son reawakes, the entire world shall be reshaped in the Divine Son’s cries.
Those mystical things, Su Tu doesn’t quite believe.
Yet, the gaze of the Compassionate Bone Father is indeed a practical thing. Legend has it that this object only appears when the Compassionate Bone Father sees the most devoted followers of the present world. It is a ’Divine Object’
It’s hundred times purer faith than Divine Grace!!
One strand of Divine Grace can provide fifty skill levels, and if this thing is eaten by Xue Yue, it would be unimaginable!!
Su Tu subtly swallowed a gulp of saliva.
He reached out and took the box, resisting the urge to absorb it immediately.
"Thoughtful of you." Su Tu said.
"All for the Tri-Deity." The Spirit Host spoke.
"This heart and spirit space is going to collapse, sir, I shall take my leave."
Accompanying the fall of the Spirit Host’s voice, the surrounding space instantly disintegrated.
Su Tu’s consciousness returned to his body, and he placed the black box in his pocket.
The disparity between reality and heart and spirit is extremely blurred before a formidable heart and spirit. This is while on the Ancestor Star there is the suppression of fortune; if the suppression were lifted, it would be even more terrifying.
Su Tu intended to return home first to absorb that gaze and then disclose today’s events to Li Hu for early preparation.
But as soon as his consciousness returned, he saw a group of people clad in black standing before him. They ranged from old to young, male to female, all holding a steel saber, each staring fanatically at Su Tu.
Then, to Su Tu’s disbelief, they actually began to scrape off their own flesh from their arms bit by bit, as if... in salute to Su Tu.
Likewise, they were also waiting for Su Tu’s salute!
