Chapter 133: Exploring the Secret Treasures

Wan Hu and Stedley completely ignored that fourth-tier ability user. If they had said those words earlier just to act along with Chen Xiao, then after entering this place and seeing the statues of Gui Gui and Mu Mu, they became genuinely sincere.
The name of the Three Goddesses of Glory had spread widely in the world of abilities, just like that of the God of Glory.
At that moment, the four statues in the center of the hall suddenly emitted intense golden light.
“I, on behalf of my god lord, accept your oaths.”
Below the statue, Mu Mu’s statue suddenly spoke, and at the same time, a faint divine aura radiated from it, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
“Now, you two shall act as representatives of the God of Glory on earth, recruiting followers so that the glory of the God of Glory may dispel the darkness in the sky.”
Mu Mu’s voice was extremely solemn, and combined with the divine aura given to her by Chen Xiao, she resembled a living cultist.
In fact, Mu Mu and the other divine followers were merely representatives of the Supreme God Kraneras in various worlds within the Supreme God’s realm, tasked with guiding sentient beings and gaining faith.
This was nothing difficult for Mu Mu.
Instantly, all the followers knelt on the ground, repeating the name of the God of Glory.
“Sinners, I give you one more chance—will you repent?”
The next moment, Mu Mu spoke to the fourth-tier ability user who was standing there in shock.
“Faking divinity! It’s you who desecrate the gods! You must have conspired to deceive people here!”
The fourth-tier ability user’s expression froze for a moment before he started shouting frantically.
“Those who desecrate the gods deserve to be erased.” At that moment, Gui Gui’s cold voice rang out.
“I, as the Hand of God, execute the judgment on behalf of the god lord.” The next moment, two beams of golden light shot out from Meng Fei’s statue, instantly piercing through the body of the fourth-tier ability user before slowly dissolving it.
It was melted by the most poisonous of the nine waters—the Water of the Netherworld. The Water of the Netherworld was the filthiest and most poisonous among the nine waters, and it was Meng Fei’s innate water power.
The next moment, two beams of golden light shot out from the eyes of the divine master Chai Yunkē in the center, directly entering Wan Hu and Stedley’s bodies.
Instantly, the two were overjoyed to find that their strength had increased by one rank! Wan Hu had become a seventh-tier Beast Tamer, while Stedley had risen to a sixth-tier.
Just then, Chen Xiao clearly felt the power of faith emanating from Wan Hu and Stedley rushing into her mind sea.
This power of faith was even stronger than that of Xiu Mang. Although Xiu Mang was a ninth-tier powerhouse, his faith in Chen Xiao was merely superficial, whereas Wan Hu and Stedley burst forth with the most fervent faith—the ultimate expression of devotion.
Chen Xiao’s mental strength was instantly pushed to the peak of the early fifth tier by their power of faith.
Faced with their fervor, Chen Xiao naturally didn’t hesitate. Instantly, two even more powerful beams of faith were sent back, directly boosting their strength.

Chen Xiao had gradually figured out how to utilize the power of faith. Only those with a divine status could gather faith and gain followers, while the power of faith could be used to enhance their followers’ strength. Boosting Wan Hu and Stedley’s strength also made it easier for them to manage the temple. After all, in this world of supernatural abilities, the apparent strongest beings were at level seven. Having someone at level seven in the temple was enough to intimidate an entire region.

“God’s grace!”

Seeing Wan Hu and Stedley’s strength increase, the people below immediately erupted in excitement, their faith in the God of Light growing even stronger.

……

“Where did those two come from?” Mo Changli looked puzzled at Wan Hu and Stedley, who were being worshipped by everyone there.

“Wan Hu and Stedley—aren’t they part of the Black Tiger Gate now? Why are they here?” Su Lan was astonished.

“Regardless of where they came from, it’s true that they’ve been favored by the gods. So, the God of Light still exists.” Mo Changli took a deep breath, his expression complex.

Raising a supernatural being’s strength by one rank in an instant was something only gods could do.

“Let’s go. We no longer need to maintain this Temple of Light.”

If Mu Mu and the others had appeared earlier and simply accepted Wan Hu and Stedley’s requests without doing anything, most people would have thought they were pretending to be gods.

But Chen Xiao had already planned everything. First, he eliminated that level-four supernatural being to serve as a deterrent, then used the power of faith to enhance Wan Hu and Stedley’s abilities. Raising the strength of level-five and level-six supernatural beings by one rank was something even the legendary level-nine powerhouses couldn’t do.

Moreover, using the power of faith to enhance followers’ strength was a true divine technique. Now, as Chen Xiao’s strength grew, he could even touch upon some of the gods’ methods.

Ancient texts in this world of supernatural abilities recorded the existence of gods. The gods had manifested themselves yesterday to save the Flame Soul Realm, and today they appeared again to establish themselves as representatives in this world, eliminating false believers with swift and decisive actions.

……

Thud!

When Stedley and Wan Hu saw Chen Xiao again, they immediately knelt on the ground.

“Hehe, get up,” Chen Xiao smiled. Of course, he knew what these two were thinking.

“Young master, I dare to ask—who exactly are you?” Finally, Stedley couldn’t hold back and spoke up.

“Who am I?” Chen Xiao thought for a moment before saying, “Consider me a god, a representative of the gods on earth.”

Thud. The two knelt down again.

“Don’t worry. Follow me, and you’ll be under the gods’ protection. Becoming gods is only a matter of time.”

Chen Xiao wasn’t boasting. As long as he didn’t fail halfway, he would definitely become the supreme god, and those around him would surely achieve divinity as well. In this world of supernatural abilities, it seemed there were few who could truly threaten Chen Xiao’s life.

Even when facing ninth-tier powerhouses, he could retreat calmly. But as Chen Xiao’s strength grew, he increasingly realized that this world of supernatural abilities was far from simple. The overall strength of the Netherworld was countless times greater than that of the human world, yet they occupied only a small portion of this world. Even the domain controlled by Xiao Mang was not as great as just any ordinary human domain. Powerhouses all had their own domains—lions would never congregate among ants. Only by reaching such a height could one enter such a domain. Chen Xiao’s gaze was firm, fixed on the sky, as if trying to pierce through the misty haze of this world of supernatural abilities. Affected by Chen Xiao’s gaze, even Wan Hu and Stedley—a seventh-tier and sixth-tier powerhouse respectively, both capable of intimidating much of this world and possessing their own domains—could not help but shiver. “Leave the matters of the Glory Temple to you. Remember, this temple will be the foundation of our future, so handle it carefully. Also, quietly integrate the Black Tiger Gate forces here, and make sure to maintain good relations with Mo Changli,” Chen Xiao said in a low voice. Chen Xiao had not initially placed much importance on Mo Changli. Although he was the lord of a domain and the president of the Flame Soul Domain Supernatural Ability Association, his cultivation level would never exceed seventh tier. But after encountering Mo Changli once before, Suo Hen said that this Mo Changli was by no means an ordinary supernatural ability user. “Young master, we understand,” Wan Hu and Stedley replied with utmost respect. By now, their nature had changed—they had become Chen Xiao’s loyal followers. Chen Xiao nodded, entrusting all matters here to the two of them before leaving in peace. With the Glory God appearing twice in a row, the various major families in this world of supernatural abilities would not dare to make moves for a while… “Now, we can safely investigate what exactly is behind that Heavenly Dragon Secret.” Chen Xiao ultimately could not resist the urge to go back to the location of the Heavenly Dragon Secret and explore further. He wanted to find out what exactly was summoning his blood. Moreover, that strange dream from before had troubled him for a long time. Although the Great Immortal had promised to send experts from the Soul of China to protect Chen Xiao once the secret was unearthed, that would impose too much restriction on him. Besides, it was uncertain who would protect whom by then. It was better for him to go in first and see for himself. Chen Xiao left the world of supernatural abilities; it was already dark outside. As the saying goes, it’s easier to get things done when the moon is dark and the wind is strong. Chen Xiao casually sent a message to Chris, indicating that the powerful figures behind him had agreed to assist them in seizing the sacred artifact of the vampires once the secret was unearthed. Then, Chen Xiao’s body flashed, returning to the Thousand Souls Domain. From there, he used the spatial gate of the Thousand Souls Domain to reach the sea. Chen Xiao determined the direction and dived straight into the ocean…
