Chapter 012: The First Believer

In other words, this Primordial God Space is the legacy of wisdom from the Primordial God Kranthras, and Shui Miao possesses that wisdom of Kranthras.
As for the Primordial God Essence, it represents Kranthras’ power, controlled by Chen Xiao.
With a beam of blue light entering Chen Xiao’s mind, a vast amount of information flowed into his consciousness.
“So that’s how it is.” With a warm surge from the Primordial God Essence in his chest, Chen Xiao absorbed all this information almost instantly.
Earlier, in addition to telling Chen Xiao how to forcefully recruit believers, Shui Miao also shared some information about this Primordial God Space.
This Primordial God Space resembled a starry universe. But unlike the universe as Chen Xiao understood it, every star in this universe harbored life—each one was a world.
Moreover, the beings in these worlds were once believers of the Primordial God Kranthras. But with Kranthras’ downfall, the belief systems on those stars collapsed, and Chen Xiao, who succeeded Kranthras, could draw not a trace of that belief energy.
What Chen Xiao needed to do next was use his own power to rebuild the beliefs in these worlds and obtain that belief energy.
Of course, this was an extremely long process. Only when Chen Xiao’s strength truly reached the divine level would he be qualified to accomplish all this.
“I understand.”
Having learned about the wonders of this Primordial God Space, Chen Xiao finally realized what kind of treasure he had acquired. This was not something that would make one rich overnight—it was a supreme treasure that could even transform one into a god or immortal.
At the same time, Chen Xiao deeply understood that he must never reveal anything about obtaining the Primordial God Essence. Anyone who seized it could possess everything he had now.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath.
“Alright, you now know everything you need to know regarding your permissions,” said Shui Miao. “If your strength improves, you can go to those worlds and obtain the items left behind by the Primordial Gods there, even their former servants.”
“Mm.” Chen Xiao was somewhat numb at this point. With his current understanding, he still couldn’t grasp what kind of being the Primordial God really was. But the thought that an entire universe, containing countless worlds, would all become his property filled him with excitement.
“Well then, I’ll leave first to recruit my first believer.” Chen Xiao tried hard to calm his excitement. With a flash, he disappeared from that spot.
Shui Miao, still wearing his eternal smile, also slowly vanished.
……
Outside, nothing changed—not even the world itself.
Taking advantage of Lin Tianchi’s distraction, Chen Xiao waved his Star Moon Staff, and five ferocious water dragons reappeared, letting out roars like waves as they charged at Lin Tianchi.
“You!”
Lin Tianchi was shocked. He didn’t understand why Chen Xiao would suddenly attack him again.
“Combat skill: Flame Demon!”
Lin Tianchi shouted wildly. His body was instantly enveloped in a red flame, turning him into a demon bathed in fire.
Boom!

After a loud explosion, Lin Tianchi’s body shot forward at high speed, breaking through the blockade of the five water dragons and punching straight at Chen Xiao.
“So that’s how it is. The flame you emit isn’t real flame at all—it’s just a form of energy transformation. You can’t control the flames in the world.”
Seeing Lin Tianchi charge out, Chen Xiao’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. His mental energy had already locked onto an area of three meters around him. When Lin Tianchi rushed over, he immediately figured out the other man’s true strength.
An energy that resembled fire but wasn’t fire. If Chen Xiao had any knowledge of the world of supernatural abilities, he would have realized it was spiritual energy of the fire attribute.
“Destroy him!”
Chen Xiao waved his Star and Moon Staff repeatedly, quickly drawing strange runes in the air. Before Lin Tianchi’s body could reach him, those runes suddenly lit up, summoning all the water elemental energy within ten meters.
That’s right—water elemental energy, the most fundamental force that constitutes water, not water vapor.
Boom!
After a muffled sound, a giant water ball with a diameter of three meters swallowed Lin Tianchi whole. During this time, Lin Tianchi didn’t even have a chance to resist.
In an instant, all the fire attribute spiritual energy on Lin Tianchi’s body was extinguished.
“Explode!”
With a sharp command, Chen Xiao caused the water ball to burst apart. In the process, Lin Tianchi was knocked unconscious by the shock.
Chen Xiao walked up to Lin Tianchi and muttered sheepishly, “Sorry, buddy. I had to make you suffer. But there was no other way—I could only subdue you without hurting you this way. Otherwise, if you got injured, I wouldn’t be able to heal you, right?”
Chen Xiao calmed down slightly and waved his Star and Moon Staff again in the air, slowly forming an extremely intricate and mysterious rune.
“There are gods in this world…”
“I am the true god…”
“You shall be my follower…”
“Use your life and death to defend my glory…”
Boom!
Suddenly, the rune emitted a dim blue light that enveloped Lin Tianchi’s body. Chen Xiao frowned slightly as a blue wave surged from his chest and merged into that light.
Big drops of sweat appeared on Chen Xiao’s forehead, and his face gradually turned pale.
“Good thing your mental energy isn’t strong. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to subdue you!”
“Rise!”
Chen Xiao suddenly roared, and the blue light intensified, rushing into Lin Tianchi’s body.
Buzz…
The air trembled strangely before returning to normal.
Inside the Supreme God’s Space…
“That kid is really careless.” Shui Miao’s figure appeared slowly. In her hand was a blue bead that emitted a dim glow.
……
“What’s wrong?”
After what seemed like a long time, Lin Tianchi slowly opened his eyes and shook his head.
When he saw Chen Xiao resting with his eyes closed on the other side, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart.

“My god!” As soon as Lin Tianchi saw Chen Xiao, he immediately knelt down and performed a proper bow. At the same time, an indescribable force emanated from Lin Tianchi’s body and directly entered Chen Xiao’s mind.
Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
“As expected, faith is the best means to destroy a person’s will!”
“Get up,” Chen Xiao said. “Don’t show any abnormalities in front of ordinary people, and don’t let anyone know my true identity.”
Chen Xiao gave the orders. He wasn’t worried about revealing his identity.
Chen Xiao had already gained Lin Tianchi’s faith, becoming the supreme god in his heart. This wasn’t some mental control; even the most skilled expert wouldn’t notice anything unusual.
Moreover, in Lin Tianchi’s mind, Chen Xiao was merely a god—he knew nothing else.
“Yes, my god!” Lin Tianchi got up from the ground and spoke respectfully.
Chen Xiao checked his phone—it was already past seven o’clock, with still an hour left until the celebration banquet.
