Chapter 101: Am I the Multitude of Gods?

"Snap!"

The oversized spirit sign slapped the Black Lantern heavily onto the ground.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Chang Ying immediately raised a hand, and the spirit sign flew up along with it.

As the girl's hand fell, the giant flyswatter smashed down once more.

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

In the pitch-black wilderness, Lu Ran pulled off his red scarf and looked toward the battlefield.

Good heavens~

This giant wooden board was hitting the ground so hard it was shaking.

If that were to land on someone's backside, would that even be survivable?

"Chang Ying! Chang Ying?" Tian Tian's voice grew increasingly high-pitched.

Chang Ying finally stopped.

The Black Lantern had long since been smashed to pieces, and even the mist had been swatted away.

Tian Tian was naturally a sensitive person with a very delicate mind.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chang Ying, are you unhappy? Do you not like your position in the team?"

"It's not that." Chang Ying waved away the spirit sign board and scratched her head in frustration. "I just can't seem to draw the sign I want."

Lu Ran watched Chang Ying and chuckled to himself.

Look at how the child has been pushed.

She's actually using a defensive sign as an offensive one.

Spirit sign, oh spirit sign, you are truly... wait.

Lu Ran suddenly realized something.

In the future, within his own God and Demon Sculpture Garden, he would also activate the Spirit Sign Divine Sculpture.

And all the sculptures in the garden, regardless of whether they were evil spirits, would eventually be under his control.

Then, when he personally unleashed the Spirit Sign Divine Technique, the Five Treasure Signs...

Could he draw whatever he wanted?

Was the principle of this divine technique truly a matter of probability, or were there gods pulling strings behind the scenes?

"Hmm..." Lu Ran pondered secretly, feeling it was the latter.

After all, the greed of the God of Spirit Signs was something everyone had witnessed.

So, the question now was!

If he could draw signs as he pleased with the Spirit Sign Divine Sculpture he activated himself, why would Chang Ying still need to believe in the True God of Spirit Signs?

Why wouldn't she defect to Lu Ran's sect?

Why not come and believe in him, believe in the "Pseudo-God of Spirit Signs" inside his sculpture garden?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked Lu Ran was by his own idea!

Did this mean that all believers of all sects in the world could defect to his sect?

This...?

Lu Ran rubbed his chin.

Oh no!

Have I become a god?

No, to be more precise...

Have I become the multitude of gods?

"The probability is right there; it's only one in five." Not far away, Deng Yutang's voice came through.

"I'll draw again in a moment!" Chang Ying muttered. "I don't believe it's going to give me a defensive sign again."

"You're already very impressive." Tian Tian rarely took the initiative to approach Chang Ying, saying softly, "The defensive sign is very powerful in your hands, too."

"Hehe~" Chang Ying's face changed instantly, and she became happy again.

"Hurry and let your divine technique cool down, let's go." Tian Tian urged.

"Yes, ma'am!"

The two were still talking, but in the darkness, Lu Ran turned his head abruptly, looking toward the even darker distance.

There was a Black Lantern wandering far away.

The black wooden handle above it was suspended horizontally, as if someone were carrying it.

This four-sided lantern was still rotating slowly, like a revolving lantern?

Lu Ran confirmed three times that there was no one around, then raised a hand.

"Whoosh~"

Energy surged, and canine teeth appeared.

From the Evil Dog clan, the Evil Technique: Evil Teeth!

A crisp sound came from afar.

With just one strike, the Black Lantern shattered, turning into wisps of mist.

A mere Mist Realm Black Lantern couldn't withstand a powerful Stream Artifact evil technique.

"This is just too comfortable."

Lu Ran looked at his hands and suddenly felt that everything had become so simple.

As expected!

The accompanying instructor was limiting his performance!

"Ah, I drew it! I drew it!"

Behind him in the distance, Chang Ying's surprised shout rang out.

Lu Ran turned to look and saw five spirit signs flying around Chang Ying.

Did she finally draw an offensive sign?

The offensive sign, like the previous defensive sign, turned into a wooden artifact after flying out of the sign cylinder.

"Lu Ran!" Chang Ying shouted loudly. "Lu Ran?"

"What is it?" Lu Ran asked loudly.

Chang Ying said hurriedly, "Quick! Help me find an enemy!

The offensive sign doesn't last long; it'll be gone in a moment!"

Lu Ran: "..."

In this wilderness, not near the Black Grave Mound, it was lucky enough to see a Black Lantern wandering by occasionally!

I just secretly slaughtered one; where am I supposed to find you another?

"Hurry up, the offensive sign will dissipate soon!"

Chang Ying was anxious; she really wanted to show her new teammates her powerful strength.

Lu Ran snorted, "Why don't you attack me?"

"That wouldn't be good." Chang Ying hesitated. "Don't look at it as wooden; the tip is very sharp.

Once it starts moving, its lethality is no worse than a sword cultivator's flying sword!"

Lu Ran said irritably, "I was just saying that; you really want to kill me?"

"Why are you so fierce?" Chang Ying pouted and dropped a hand.

Five standard-sized spirit signs circled her body, flying lightly.

They flew past Chang Ying's neck, through her armpits, across her waist and abdomen, and around her legs...

The key was that the five spirit signs were incredibly fast!

The three were stunned by the sight!

What kind of terrifying divine technique was this?

It actually gave Chang Ying such terrifying control!

During last month's training, Lu Ran had seen a similar scene.

The flying sword summoned by the Jian Yi believer Guan Yiren also flew around her like an obedient child, playing.

And the style Chang Ying displayed before them was in no way inferior to the Jian Yi believer!

No wonder the God of Spirit Signs was ranked in the fourth row.

Even if the "gambling" element was so serious, its divine technique was truly powerful!

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head abruptly, his eyes bright. "There seems to be a Black Lantern over there; I'll go lure it over for you!"

"Ah..." Chang Ying looked very troubled.

"What?" Lu Ran turned his head and happened to see the spirit signs wrapped around Chang Ying shatter and dissipate.

Everyone: "..."

"Give me three minutes, I'll be ready soon!" Chang Ying said hurriedly, immediately closing her eyes.

Deng Yutang frowned slightly, feeling they shouldn't waste time here.

But seeing that Tian Tian didn't speak, he swallowed his words.

Three minutes passed in a flash.

"Clatter!"

Chang Ying immediately summoned the sign cylinder and shook it vigorously.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Spirit Sign Lord, please manifest quickly!"

Chang Ying muttered, then suddenly raised her voice: "Offensive sign, obey my command, come out for me!"

"Whoosh~"

Under the expectant gazes of the group, a phantom spirit sign floated in mid-air, rotating slowly.

Then, wisps of mist reached down, surging toward Chang Ying's body to replenish her divine power.

Chang Ying's eyes widened, and she froze in place, as if struck by lightning!

An auxiliary sign?

An auxiliary sign that replenishes divine power to the target...

'Thump.'

Chang Ying sat on the ground with a thud, her eyes dull, looking completely dejected and soul-lost.

Above her head, her auxiliary sign was still slowly rotating, diligently supplying divine power to its master.

Deng Yutang turned his head away, unable to bear the sight.

In the darkness, Lu Ran also rested a hand on his forehead.

A gambling addict really is a gambling addict.

"Chang Ying." Only Tian Tian couldn't bear it and comforted her, "It's all... well, it's all probability, it's okay."

What else could she say?

She couldn't say that this was all fate!

Tian Tian stepped forward: "We still have twenty days of training here; you have plenty of opportunities to show off your divine might."

"Mm." Chang Ying sat on the ground, hugging Tian Tian, burying her face in the girl's embrace.

Tian Tian was at a loss, looking at the big head in her arms.

She hesitated for a moment, then patted Chang Ying's head: "Let's go, let's go to Black Grave Ridge; there are many enemies there.

If you cast your spell every three minutes, you'll eventually draw an output sign."

"Okay." Chang Ying nodded slowly, regrouping, and climbed to her feet, "Let's go, let's set off!"

"Mm-hmm!" Tian Tian nodded immediately.

Seeing this, Chang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been a believer for over three months; how could she not know what she looked like when she drew signs in her daily life?

She was long used to it!

It was just that she still harbored fantasies.

And the act that needed to be performed still had to be performed.

After all, since everyone had waited for three minutes in vain, she had to give some sort of explanation...

The trio here prepared to set off, while Lu Ran, over there, had already quietly crept toward the position of the Black Lantern.

"Whoosh~"

On a pitch-black hill, the Black Lantern suddenly changed direction.

It was hard to distinguish the front, back, left, or right of this four-sided lantern.

But the handle above the lantern gave Lu Ran a hint.

The black wooden handle hung horizontally, and one could imagine a transparent person holding the lantern.

"Sss—"

Mist surged beneath Lu Ran's feet as he slid backward violently.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, when the Black Lantern detected a human, it chose to explode immediately.

Wisps of black fire spread out, completely merging with the thick night.

Evil Technique: Disaster Fire Cage!

Killing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of one's own.

Unfortunately, the little lamb ran too fast!

The Black Lantern only damaged itself by eight hundred and didn't hurt anyone at all...

"Sss—"

Thick mist rose again, and air currents surged.

In Lu Ran's pitch-black eyes, a strange luster flickered.

Eerie and terrifying.

He, who should have been wielding his blade to slash, suddenly stopped his Divine Technique: Immortal Hoof, and then lifted his foot?

"Shatter!"

Lu Ran couldn't hide his excitement; energy churned beneath his feet as he kicked the lantern fiercely.

From the Soul-Splitting Demon clan, Evil Technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Hoof!

This technique was equivalent to a war stomp; it was supposed to be a foot stomped on the ground to send surrounding living beings flying.

Lu Ran chose to stomp directly on the lantern instead!

"Bang!!"

A cracking sound erupted.

The lantern shattered instantly, and air waves surged!

Lu Ran landed on one foot, sliding horizontally across the ground to dissipate the momentum.

One word: Awesome!

Lu Ran knew he should use his blade to slash; that would be more energy-efficient and convenient.

He could even cast spells from a distance, throwing out Evil Teeth to bite the lantern to pieces; that would be safer!

But...

Being awesome is all that matters!

I have killed so many evil demons and activated a full two evil sculptures.

Now that there are finally no crows following in the night sky, can't I enjoy myself a little?

"So satisfying~"

Lu Ran was in a great mood.

The next twenty days would be fun!

I will lead the evil dog and bring the Soul-Splitting Demon...

To rampage through your Black Grave Ridge!
