Lu Yao had Isabelle go out and go around a few times, all the way up to five kilometres.
Confirming that Song Shiyi had taken Sparrow in a taxi and left, Lu Yao had Isabelle return to the alley once again.
He proposed an idea: “Can your [Mass Prayer], summon out Yao’s dead soul from here?”
“It can.”
“She will answer your enquiry?”
“My lord, I am praying to the Maitreya Sea, and the dead souls are responding to the Maitreya Sea. Most of the dead, are unable to resist the will of the Maitreya Sea.”
Isabelle’s reply floored Lu Yao’s spirit.
This [Maitreya Prayer] was also an ability with great potential for development, not only could it search for clues through the souls of the dead, but after finishing off the enemy, it could theoretically be used for post-battle interrogation.
Considering another crushing divine skill [Sword of the Forest] that summons a holy sword and creates all sorts of forest elemental creatures …… Even Lu Yao himself feels that Isabel the apostle isn t a bit of a supermodel.
At this time, Isabelle had already finished her prayers from the car. As before in the kitchen, a wisp of black gas coalesced to form a black mass, the Undead.
Isabel and the deceased completed their encrypted communication, and the other dissipated once again.
“My lord, the matter is like this ……”
Yu Yao did not lie about her identity. She was indeed from the East Sea Clan, and she was also the newly born Prophet of the East Sea Clan. However, she wasn’t some ignorant and pure female.
Ever since becoming a Prophet, Yu Yao began to think about a question: what kind of existence was a god?
The East Ocean Clan could not get in touch with the gods directly, but would gain the shelter of the gods’ totems. The will of the gods would be transmitted to the clan through the Prophet, who would then interpret it into words that the tribe could understand.
In a nutshell, the mission of the East Sea Clan is to breed sea monsters for the gods, and the sea monsters are the soldiers of the gods who fight in all directions.
The [Outgoing Sea Maiden] is a part of the creation of the sea monsters.
The gods select the East Sea Clan to find believers who can breed powerful sea monsters with other individuals.
However, once these [Sea-Going Women] left the sea and were taken away by the gods, they would never return. They were too fragile, and their bodies would collapse soon after entering the divine realm.
Yu Yao gradually realised that the gods were not omnipotent.
If the God of Prayer was truly capable of anything, why did He still need the tiny East Sea Clan to keep giving birth to sea monsters? He could completely create out of thin air, just as most of the people in the clan thought, completing creation and rebirth at will.
The seeds of doubt gradually sprouted in Yu Yao’s mind.
–Gods, perhaps, were just a more powerful existence. Not unrivalled.
If one enters the divine realm, one might be able to recognise the secrets of the gods.
After obtaining the treasure [Weeping Blood Amber], Yu Yao’s wild thoughts that she had suppressed in her heart finally stirred.
The [Weeping Blood Amber] had a unique ability, it could encase living things in it, causing the person to fall into a state of frozen pseudo-death where they were unable to move.
On the outside, it looked like an ordinary yellow stone, with no breakage visible.
As long as one silently recited the incantation on the [Weeping Blood Amber] large clam could again make the amber melt, thus restoring the living thing inside to its original state.
Yu Yao made a bold plan.
She secretly wrapped herself in the amber stone. The unknown members of the East Sea Clan offered the [Weeping Amber] as a sacrifice to the God of Prayer as she had instructed them to do.
The God of Prayer accepted the gift.
Yu Yao used this treasure to travel to the world where the gods were.
She wasn’t sure if this would be discovered by the God of Prayer. So she had been afraid to recite the incantation.
But through the amber, she saw the true form of the God of Prayer.
It was a balding middle-aged man with a big belly, and when he laughed, he would make a goose-goose cry from his throat, without the majesty and aura of a god.
The worry and awe that Yu Yao still had in her heart from before completely disappeared at this time.
Two years ago, the God of Prayer suddenly disappeared and never returned to the house.
Yu Yao still did not dare to move.
It was good to remain in amber, and the boundary dimension restriction had actually been greatly delayed.
By this year, Yu Yao thought that the God of Prayer must have fallen into some kind of trouble and could not return for a short period of time. She boldly came out of the amber.
Yu Yao’s next plan was to take on Prayer God.
She hid in the amber on the table and got a good look.
The so-called gods were the ones who manipulated the equipment called computers, completing the manipulation and commands to the lower realm dimensions from the higher realm dimensions.
She followed Praying God’s example and switched the computer on and entered the password.
Then clicked on the icon of that Deity Simulator on the table.
But no scene animation was displayed next.
A line of white letters was displayed in the pitch-black background.
[Sorry, you do not have player qualifications.]
Yu Yao, who was full of anticipation, was poured a pot of cold water in her face.
She kept trying, switching on and off her computer, clicking the icon repeatedly, but she got the same result …… She was stopped by some unseen greatness beyond that one boundary.
Yu Yao left the Praying God Residence in a muddled state and strolled through the streets.
The road ahead was blocked, and she couldn’t return to the Eastern Sea Clan. Of course, she could have stayed hidden in the amber as the living dead, but that would have completely lost the meaning of living.
She had seduced two men suspected to be gods and then killed them in a sneak attack, but this didn’t give her any joy of revenge, nor could she acquire the qualifications of a god without a bit of hope.
Numb and desperate, Yu Yao wanders the streets and meets Zhou Qiang.
That’s what led to the series of events that followed.
She didn’t know why she didn’t kill Zhou Qiang. It was probably because Zhou Qiang was the only man who really gave her food, rather than giving her money and making her sleep with him.
……
Lu Yao looked at the tiny pale yellow amber stone in his hand.
……
[Weeping Blood Amber]: +1/hour of faith, chanting the incantation “Old Folks of the Seabed, Forget it, Slumber” can temporarily seal a living body and circumvent the power of the rules. Chanting the spell “Weeping Oblivion, return, revive” can unseal a living body in amber.
……
This thing was a functional prop, easily broken, and could only be used in some specific circumstances.
Lu Yao put the amber away silently.
He looked at Song Shiyi’s business card again. Isabelle had already confirmed that there was no problem with the paper, and there were no traces of the power of faith, it was normal copperplate paper.
There was only one line on the business card.
[Song Shiyi 189XXXX].
Lu Yao placed the business card and the amber together and put them in a box in the drawer.
Now there was one last thing.
Lu Yao pushed open the door and found Zhou Qiang standing in the kitchen.
He was looking out at the street outside through the open window, smoking cigarettes one by one, his face showing undisguised anxiety and uneasiness.
Seeing Lu Yao come out, Zhou Qiang forced a smile.
“Yu Yao went to catch up with one of her cousins, she’ll be back later.”
This sentence was more like something he said to himself.
Lu Yao could only nod.
“Play for a while? Play two games of Smash.” Zhou Qiang proposed.
“Good.”
Of course.
Yu Yao never came back.
After a drunken stint, Zhou Qiang lay on the table and slurred, “I’ll never fall in love again in my life. The next day, he moved out again.
Lu Yao didn’t know if Yu Yao and Zhou Qiang had any feelings for each other or not.
If there really wasn’t any at all.
Why would Yu Yao consume the precious time of her life on Zhou Qiang? Cooking for him, cleaning, taking care of him, accompanying him in his simple life these days.
But even to her death, she was insisting that I don’t have any feelings for him.
Heh, how complicated.
It’s a pity, I’ve never been in love.
Lu Yao shook his head.
It’s better to be a good god, it’s much simpler than falling in love.
