Chapter 472: Divine Name, Heavenly Pride

~14 min read 2,750 words

The price... what is it?

Hearing this question.

Kafute wore a condescending smile in the eyes of the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization.

Even through the large screen, the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization could feel Kafute's disdain and contempt for them.

Anger could not help but rise in their hearts, but this newly emerged anger immediately turned into grievance upon thinking that the other party might have hooked up with an extraterrestrial civilization.

"The price?"

"Aside from faith, what else does your civilization have that is worth the True God casting His gaze and bestowing a gift!"

"Rest assured, you low-level lifeforms who can only see what is right before your eyes."

"The True God has no interest in your wealth, lives, or power."

"What is needed... is for you to become believers of a True God from this moment on, signing a contract that forbids betrayal for all eternity."

"Fa... ith?"

Hearing Kafute's answer, the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization were more or less stunned.

Was it really a deity in the religious sense coming to acquire faith?

This was simply unbelievable!

While the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization were bewildered, the calm analytical voice of the Great Scientist came through their earpieces:

"It could be an extraterrestrial civilization that has made particularly deep breakthroughs in the mental and subconscious Yuanling, discovering the deep-level effects of consciousness, or perhaps a special biological individual born in the vast sea of stars that can naturally utilize the effects of consciousness."

"These conjectures are theoretically self-consistent; after all, there are indeed a very small number of irreproducible successful cases in experiments where consciousness alters matter."

"Therefore, although it is somewhat bizarre and unbelievable, it is also scientific."

"It is just that our level of technology is not yet capable of providing a scientific explanation for them."

After the Great Scientist finished speaking.

The high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization also regained their senses one by one and resumed negotiations with Kafute.

Or rather, they listened to the demands of Kafute, this Messenger of the True God.

The first was to make preparations in advance to avoid Chaos when the True God arrived.

The second was to handle the details of social construction afterward.

This involved the treatment of Kafute.

As the messenger, Kafute was to deservedly become the Pope of the True God Church after the crisis passed, holding the highest authority within the church.

Regarding this, the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization instinctively wanted to refuse.

But looking at Kafute, who seemed ready to disconnect the link without another word.

After communicating for a while, the high-ranking officials had no choice but to bow their heads and agree.

Of course, if the True God was not as they feared, and it was confirmed that Kafute was merely a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

Then they naturally would not truly abide by the current agreement.

At least, when the illusory contract suddenly appeared before every high-ranking official of the Kali Civilization—who were participating in the meeting but were actually in various corners of the world—they had such thoughts.

It was just that these high-ranking officials who had always firmly believed in the power of science.

Now, they all made various rich facial expressions while looking at the suddenly appearing contract.

Gazing at the contract with faint black flames of light burning along its edges.

They all felt their hearts pounding wildly.

At the same time, a voice from their subconscious appeared in their minds:

This is a mysterious object that, once signed, will truly exact a heavy price if violated!

If possible, do not sign! Do not sign!

Although they thought this in their hearts.

Not one of the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization dared not to sign.

Not to mention that such methods had shocked them once again.

More importantly, the mutations already beginning to spread on their bodies were also reminding them.

If they didn't want to turn into mutated monsters and die in agony... this was the only way to survive!

It was also the only chance for the Kali Civilization!

Therefore, the Kali Civilization actually had no choice from the very beginning!

Compared to being enslaved by an extraterrestrial civilization and having their home planet become a colony.

Selling out their faith didn't seem so unbearable after all.

Even though the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization were worried that the so-called faith involved their subjective thinking and that believing in the True God would turn them into puppets of the True God.

But as things stood, they could only deceive themselves that the worst-case scenario would not happen.

After Kafute sensed that all the high-ranking officials of the Kali Civilization had signed the contract containing the Cu Zhou Shu.

Kafute nodded slightly on the large screen and said faintly before cutting off the connection:

"This contract is not merely a shackle."

"At the same time, it can also be considered a gift from me to you."

"A gift?"

Watching Kafute's figure disappear from the large screen.

After the Great Leader of the Kali Civilization muttered this word to himself several times.

He suddenly noticed something, lifted his shirt, and looked down.

He immediately discovered that the purple flesh lump on his stomach, which had been nearly the size of a basketball, had already shrunk by half.

At the same time, the color had also faded significantly.

Although it could not be said to have recovered as before, this was the first time since the aberration occurred that the Grand Commander saw the aberration not only stop growing but actually shrink!

And this was across an entire Earth-Moon distance!

The Grand Commander, who was at the Moon Base, could not help but begin to actively look at the data provided by Kafute.

That True God who would come to save their Kali Civilization.

His name is... one of the Abyss Seven Monarchs, the Lord of Seven Emotions and Six Desires!

The very term "Abyss," the moment it appeared, caused the higher-ups of the Kali Civilization to instinctively reject it at a subconscious level.

It was just that, since the contract was already signed, no matter how unreliable this True God seemed, they had to believe in him!

Fortunately, it seemed this True God did not have hobbies like eating people.

What He wanted was for his believers to have faith in him, and then provide for him with the emotions of a lifetime.

The side effects might be that some people would lose a portion of their emotions, while others might have emotions that were slightly too intense.

In the eyes of the Kali Civilization's higher-ups, such side effects were simply not worth mentioning compared to the aberration disaster!

Soon, the name of this True God spread throughout the areas still under the control of the Kali Civilization's higher-ups.

And in the places that had already lost control.

A large number of large airships were mobilized, beginning to fly to the high altitudes of various cities to broadcast.

To ensure that survivors could hear this life-saving information as much as possible.

So that when a miracle appeared, they could seize the opportunity, correctly speak the divine name, and pray.

Thereby obtaining the salvation of the True God.

The Lord of Seven Emotions and Six Desires of the Abyss, naturally, could not possibly run over to the Water Blue Star World.

The reason Su Ping's Avatar had to put on this mask was entirely for the production of Abyss Gray Soil.

Abyss Gray Soil requires the consumption of a large amount of faith power, and it must be faith related to the Abyss.

To ensure the effect, Su Ping had already spread faith for the Abyss Seven Monarchs throughout the Galaxy, and was collecting their faith power to convert and mine Gray Gold.

…………

Kali Civilization, inside an underground facility.

A group of experts was working hard to study a little girl.

Attempting to find a way to solve the aberration infection from her.

That was a special individual, the only one discovered by the Kali Civilization who had come into contact with an aberration but showed not the slightest bit of aberration on their body.

This was even more special than Kafute's younger sister.

And because of this, before the qualitative change occurred, the little girl was taken away and brought into the most secure base for research.

After the qualitative change of the aberration appeared.

The person in charge of this base chose to seal the base at the highest level.

And with the unanimous agreement of all the remaining people in the base, they concealed the research results regarding the little girl.

There was no choice; with the arrival of the qualitative change point, the personnel of the entire base also encountered an attack.

Only one-third of the members survived, and everyone had already shown signs of aberration.

And the research result... that the little girl's blood could delay the aberration, if this were reported.

The members in the base did not feel they could still protect her and let her continue to live.

Thus, after performing the psychological construction that their concealment of the results was to allow their experienced team to continue living to research faster and better, and was for the sake of the entire Kali Civilization!

They lived until now with a clear conscience, relying on the blood.

And they heard the broadcast from the surface.

After listening to it, the person in charge of the base somewhat doubted whether the brains of the higher-ups above had also gone bad.

Such a lie could actually be told?

However, in private, they still recorded the information, just in case.

But the research results... still could not be reported.

There was no way, even though subsequent research was becoming increasingly unsuccessful?

And that little girl's blood... was also only delaying, not curing.

The aberration site on the person in charge of the base was still slowly growing.

And at noon on the second day after receiving the broadcast.

The person in charge of the base and those experts received news that struck them like a bolt from the blue.

That little girl whom they considered to be Hope.

On her body... aberration flesh lumps had also appeared!

Although they looked very small, like bumps.

But an aberration is an aberration...

This showed that their Hope was still not some kind of immune body.

She was just able to hold on a little longer than the average person.

If it continued to develop, she would ultimately not escape the fate of becoming a monster and then dying in pain!

Under such emotions.

Chaos broke out in this underground base.

An expert had an emotional breakdown, started shouting "monster," and began to slaughter their companions.

After the person in charge of the base learned of this, they were shocked and hurriedly ran to the little girl's laboratory.

It was just as they had guessed.

A base member who had also suffered an emotional breakdown had rushed into the laboratory and aimed their weapon at the dying little girl on the hospital bed.

The experiments and constant blood draws over this period had long since exhausted the girl, who stood no taller than one meter.

Even when faced with the muzzle of a gun, she could not open her mouth to make a sound, her pupils only dilating to reveal emotions like fear.

"Go to hell! If it weren't for you monster, I could have already gone to the Moon Surface!"

"It's all your fault that we had to stay here waiting for death! If we went to outer space and stayed far away from the mother planet, we would definitely have a way to survive!"

The two base members roared with their mouths wide open, ignoring the shouts around them, just as they were about to open fire.

Hum!

Everyone felt a piercing, ringing sound echo in their ears.

A vast, boundless aura descended from above, filling every space in the blink of an eye.

It was formless and intangible, yet it felt as heavy as a physical object.

It forced everyone to either kneel or collapse onto the ground all at once.

At this very moment, the base director, who had also knelt, recalled the content of the broadcast.

"Could it be... could it actually be true?"

The base director muttered to himself, then began to chant the divine name, willing to offer up his own faith.

At this very moment.

The entire Kali Civilization was plunged into a state of shock and panic from which they could not extricate themselves.

None of them had expected that a god would actually appear.

And that the arrival would be so magnificent and vast.

In the direction of the Moon from the Kali Civilization's mother planet.

A god with a thousand hands and a hundred arms, possessing hundreds of faces, sat cross-legged on a black lotus platform, gazing down at the Kali Civilization's mother planet.

This god's form was somewhat illusory, yet its size made the entire Kali Civilization mother planet look like a small toy ball in front of it.

"Is this that Lord of Seven Emotions and Six Desires?"

The high-ranking members of the Kali Civilization were all in outer space, where they could see this divine manifestation more clearly.

However, the voice of Kafute immediately reached their ears.

"The Lord of Seven Emotions and Six Desires has no fixed image; He can be any appearance."

"Therefore, to have faith in this True God, you need only chant the divine name and accept the grace, but you must not try to imagine a specific divine form."

Kafute had also appeared in outer space by this time.

After the original body arrived using a Teleportation Talisman, Su Ping's Avatar no longer needed to conserve Dharma Power.

After flying directly into outer space with his physical body.

Su Ping, knowing the situation, silently cast a spell.

Suddenly, Kafute's entire body shone with Golden Light, transforming into a small Sun.

And after covering the Kali Civilization's mother planet in Golden Light, he began to spread his name and identity.

After Su Ping resolved these matters, his divine sense also swept across the Kali Civilization's mother planet.

With this sweep, Su Ping was naturally slightly pleased.

This Kali Civilization, besides producing many talents on the path of technology.

There were actually quite a few talents on the path of cultivation as well.

Aside from Kafute and his sister, who were both at the level of prodigies in the Cultivation World.

Under Su Ping's divine sense, he discovered such brilliant, peerless prodigies within his field of vision.

These prodigies, naturally, could not be used as expendable resources for faith.

Although Su Ping was not a great villain and would not truly rely on faith to exploit these believers as puppets.

But being forced into faith would clearly affect their cultivation aptitude.

Su Ping's mind stirred, and invisible Avatars descended into various parts of the Kali Civilization's mother planet to take those prodigies away.

In the underground base.

The base director felt that he had become a believer of the True God, his whole body feeling much more relaxed, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at the ward.

He saw a young man in white appear in front of the little girl.

The young man extended his right index finger and tapped the little girl's brow.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl stood up from the hospital bed using her own strength.

And she said something to the young man in white.

The young man in white smiled and turned his head to look around.

In an instant, whether they were inside the ward, outside, or even base personnel separated by several walls.

They all felt a sense of horror at being watched.

Then, the next second.

These people all ignited and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye!

And their souls were all collected into a glass bead, which was then given to the little girl by the young man in white.

"Take it; you decide how to handle the aftermath."

The young man in white said indifferently:

"Then, your other wish."

"Resurrecting your family will depend on your own efforts later."

"Rest assured, this seat never lies; thanks to the Gray Gold, your family's souls have been enduring torture and thus have not naturally dissipated."
