Chapter 011: Believer

“A sorcerer? You’re a dual-elementalist?”
Lin Tianchi stepped back slightly, looking at Chen Xiao in surprise.
“So what if I am? What if I’m not?” In truth, Chen Xiao hadn’t understood what Lin Tianchi meant at all.
He knew nothing about the world of supernatural abilities. In his eyes, Lin Tianchi had just unleashed fire, so he must be like himself—someone whose ability was simply to control fire.
Chen Xiao had no idea that in this world, there were different types of supernatural beings. Generally, they fell into four categories: martial warriors, sorcerers, summoners, and beastmasters.
Previously, Chen Xiao had shown incredible physical strength by resisting Lin Tianchi directly, leading Lin to think he was a martial warrior. But now, seeing him pull out a staff and wave it to create a wave that destroyed his own combat technique, Lin realized Chen Xiao was actually a rare dual-elementalist!
Dual-elementalists, especially those with both martial skills and sorcery, were extremely terrifying. The physical strength of martial warriors combined with the mental power of sorcerers created an almost unstoppable force. There was no issue with mastering two abilities simultaneously.
But in reality, Chen Xiao wasn’t what Lin thought—a dual-elementalist. Strictly speaking, he wasn’t a martial warrior nor a sorcerer.
His power came from the Heart of Water, the divine essence of the Water Deity, Kraneras. His soul power was still too weak. But one day, when his soul power grew strong enough to fully absorb this divine essence, he would become the new Water Deity.
In other words, his current abilities were merely a scaled-down version of the Water Deity’s power.
Thanks to the transformation by the divine essence, his physical strength and mental power were already extremely strong. He just hadn’t yet found a way to convert his internal energy into spiritual power to gain a rank.
Yet, both his physical strength and mental power were comparable to those of a first-tier supernatural being.
The problem was he didn’t know how to use any of these abilities. He had strength but no way to utilize it. Now, with the Star-Moon Staff in his hands, it was as if he had the trigger of a machine gun.
“Enough talk. It’s my turn now.”
As Chen Xiao spoke, the Star-Moon Staff swayed again, and a five-meter-long blue water dragon appeared mid-air. It was a real dragon—with visible scales, claws, whiskers, and a tail. Unlike Lin Tianchi’s mediocre fire dragon, which was just a column of fire.
“Damn, how high is his rank? So strong!” Lin felt trapped by the water dragon, unable to escape.
“Combat technique…”
“Pfft…”
Before Lin could do anything, the water dragon shattered into a wave—faster than ten times before—and rushed at Lin, drenching him completely.
“Still want to fight?”

A proud smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face as Xingyue waved continuously in the sky. Five or six more water dragons like the ones before appeared, swirling around Chen Xiao’s body. At this moment, Chen Xiao looked like a divine being who commanded dragons.

“I give up!” Seeing Chen Xiao’s state, Lin Tianchi readily admitted defeat. Even just those five majestic water dragons were beyond his ability to handle. Moreover, Lin Tianchi realized that if Chen Xiao hadn’t reduced the power of those water dragons at the last moment, that single move would have been enough to seriously injure him.

“What about what happened before?” Chen Xiao asked with a smile.

“Nothing happened before. It was my recklessness. I, Lin Tianchi, swear that I will never trouble you again!”

By now, Lin Tianchi understood that he absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao’s supernatural abilities were likely far stronger than his own.

“Is that it?” Chen Xiao looked at him playfully.

Lin Tianchi forced a bitter smile, realizing that he had really offended Chen Xiao severely this time. If he were just an ordinary supernatural being, it might have been fine, but now, Chen Xiao’s strength was unfathomable—even the most skilled members of his family might not be able to match him.

However, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

“What do you want then?” Now, the roles of the two had completely reversed.

“Yeah, what should I do?” This question left Chen Xiao momentarily at a loss. Rob him? He couldn’t do such a thing. For now, Chen Xiao really didn’t know what to do with him.

Moreover, Chen Xiao had also discerned Lin Tianchi’s personality. He was only willing to back down now because Lin Tianchi wasn’t his match. If he let him go, he might become a time bomb around him, capable of delivering a fatal blow at any moment.

Chen Xiao, being a supernatural being with extraordinary powers, didn’t dare take him lightly.

“The Master God Space!” Chen Xiao’s mind lit up. He realized that by entering the Master God Space and then coming out, there was no time gap, allowing him to return to the previous time point.

Chen Xiao’s mental energy instantly connected with the Master God Core in his chest as he silently invoked the Master God Space.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Chen Xiao’s body reappeared in the Master God Space.

“Little guy, you’re here.” Shui Miao smiled faintly upon seeing Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was used to Shui Miao’s ever-unchanging gentle smile. But he still disliked her term “little guy.”

“Is there any way for me to control a supernatural being?” Chen Xiao asked directly.

“It’s simple,” Shui Miao replied. “Since you’ve inherited the Master God Core now, you can gain the power of faith from living beings.”

“If you want to control a supernatural being, the best way is to force them to believe in you and become your followers,” Shui Miao continued. “Of course, with your current strength, you can at most force a third-tier supernatural being to believe in you. And there’s a huge risk involved—any mistake could backfire on you.”

“What are the consequences of that backfire?” Chen Xiao asked nervously.

“Severe damage to the soul and personality fragmentation,” Shui Miao said.

“Uh…” Chen Xiao hesitated. “What if it’s a first-tier supernatural being?”

Chen Xiao remembered that Lin Tianchi had seemed to call himself a first-tier martial warrior before.
“First-tier?” Shui Miao thought for a moment and said, “If it’s a first-tier abler, then there shouldn’t be any problem, but the number of them at once can’t be too large.”
“What about the method?” Chen Xiao grew impatient.
Shui Miao raised her hand, and a blue light flowed into Chen Xiao’s mind.
Within Chen Xiao’s main divine entity lay the power of the main god and the steps to achieve divinity. As for the experience of the main god, Kraneras, and the cultivation methods, they were stored in the main god’s space, under Shui Miao’s care. Shui Miao was like the steward of the main god’s space—until Chen Xiao’s strength reached a certain level, everything was under her control.
