Chapter 61: Register Book

On the street.

Bai Zhenzhen occasionally bumped Zhang Yu with her shoulder, a sycophantic look on her face: "Yu, you've been playing for ages."

"Let me have a go."

"This thing is worth one hundred thousand! One hundred thousand!" Zhang Yu quickly clutched the talisman book tighter. "You're so strong—what if you accidentally break it? You couldn't even afford to compensate for it."

"And wipe your drool—it's about to get all over my talisman book."

Bai Zhenzhen watched eagerly as Zhang Yu breathed on the talisman book and wiped it back and forth, then said coaxingly, "How about we swap? You lend me the talisman book to play with, and you can borrow anything here that catches your fancy."

Seeing that Zhang Yu was still absorbed in playing with the talisman book, Bai Zhenzhen grabbed his hand in annoyance, then put on a sweet smile and shook his arm, saying, "Brother Zhang Yu~ Lend it to me to play with, just a little."

Zhang Yu quickly covered his eyes, feeling as if he had just stared straight at an ancient god. "Stop it right now, don't gross me out."

"Hmph! Weak point exposed." Bai Zhenzhen quickly snatched the talisman book from Zhang Yu's loosened grasp.

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes. "Oh well, you can play with it for a while. Give it back when we get to the station."

Bai Zhenzhen shook her head and sighed. "People with attachments always have weak points."

"Look how flawless that door-plank guy is today."

"Yu, I suggest you get neutered soon—erase your weakness..."

Zhang Yu snorted coldly. "Do you still want to borrow my talisman book or not?"

When they finally reached the station, Zhang Yu parted ways with Bai Zhenzhen under her reluctant gaze and set off on the road home.

And at that very moment, somewhere in the city.

A figure answered a call from Su Haifeng.

Su Haifeng: "...That's the general situation. He's already become a Divine Assistant under Zhang Pianpian's protection, so the regular methods at school are off the table for now."

"Also, he has a talisman book. As a temporary member of the patrol team, he can use at least one free talisman per day..."

Zhou Tianyi nodded slightly and said in a flat tone, "I understand. I need to make my move before he becomes familiar with the talisman book and talismans. And he just happened to use his free talisman today... so today is my best chance, right?"

Su Haifeng: "If you're going to act, do it quickly. You'd better go find him right now, immediately, this instant."

Zhou Tianyi nodded. "I got it. Once I finish what I'm doing at hand, I'll go after Zhang Yu."

Su Haifeng asked, puzzled, "Is there something important that can't wait until later?"

Zhou Tianyi shook his head. "Some things can't be delayed even for a second."

"Don't worry. It won't take long. It won't interfere with me dealing with Zhang Yu."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Tianyi moved, and a gust of wind seemed to spring up under his feet as he shot down the street ahead.

Tightening the delivery bag on his back, Zhou Tianyi's footsteps exploded against the concrete road, and he accelerated once more.

Although dealing with Zhang Yu was important, his customer had bought the "On-Time Guarantee," so he had to finish his current order before he could go find Zhang Yu.

Ever since Zhou Tianyi's potential was awakened by the evil god, the more urgently he ran, the faster his magical power flowed, the stronger his body became, and even the speed of his leg techniques improved as a result.

So, in order to cultivate and earn money at the same time, he finally chose to hide his identity and work as a food deliveryman.

He still remembered his first day delivering food—soup and water spilled everywhere inside his delivery bag. Not only was he cursed out by the customer, but the platform also deducted several hundred in fines.

When he got back to the delivery station, the station manager poured him a glass of water and told him to hold it in his hand while delivering. As long as the water didn't spill, the food would be fine.

From then on, the number of orders he delivered increased every day, and his platform level got higher and higher. At some point, Zhou Tianyi noticed that everything on the road seemed to be getting slower. Later, he asked the station manager and learned that it wasn't the things on the road slowing down—it was him getting faster.

If it weren't for hiding his true strength, he was fully confident he could rank first in every monthly exam.

After delivering his last order, watching the money arrive in his account, Zhou Tianyi let out a light sigh of relief.

"Now... I can go find Zhang Yu."

Not long after, Zhou Tianyi arrived at the foot of the apartment building where Zhang Yu lived.

He thought to himself, "According to what Zhang Yu said, he can't cultivate in his rented room. He goes to a nearby unfinished building every day to practice."

"So I just have to wait until he heads for the unfinished building before making my move."

As soon as he returned to the rented room.

Zhang Yu washed his face, then began to play with the Talisman Register in his hand, intending to thoroughly study its functions.

After all, although he had performed a Detainment Talisman today, the whole process had been too rushed, and he had been busy with this and that before and after, leaving him no time to study the Talisman Register on his own.

!

He pressed his palm onto the Talisman Register, and as he exerted a burst of spiritual power from his palm, his fingerprints, palm lines, and spiritual power were identified.

A golden light flashed on the talisman register, and a yellow background emerged, just like a piece of talisman paper. As long as Zhang Yu lightly traced his fingertip over it, he could draw lines of spells.

Then Zhang Yu gently lifted his palm, and the Talisman Register floated up, stopping in front of his hand.

Zhang Yu moved his hand left and right, and the Talisman Register drifted back and forth with his hand, closely following in front of his palm.

"This follow mode is pretty handy. I don't have to hold it in my hand; I can just draw talismans."

He touched his fingertip to the bottom of the Talisman Register, then lightly swiped upward, and the talisman paper background changed again, displaying lines of data.

Believer's Name: Zhang Yu

Realm: Qi Refining Stage

Comprehensive Faith Level: 1

Zhang Yu looked further down and saw the names and emblems of the eight divine departments, with their faith levels marked after each.

Because Zhang Yu had never raised his faith level, his faith level in all eight divine departments was only the default Level 1 granted upon obtaining the Talisman Register.

He randomly clicked into the Ten Thousand People Department, which was listed at the top, and the image on the Talisman Register shifted, revealing the temple in the spirit world.

Beyond layers of red walls and golden tiles, celestial dragons soared and phoenixes circled. A great deity radiating a five-colored light stood majestically in the hall, hand forming a Daoist mudra, a compassionate aura rushing forth. His slightly closed eyes seemed unable to bear the suffering of the world.

This was the First True God of the Ten Thousand People Department, the Great God of All Living Beings.

Three options also appeared on the Talisman Register.

1. Worship the God

2. Offer to the God

3. Consult the God

Below the option to consult the god, there was also a patch of gray mist, apparently because Zhang Yu's faith level was insufficient, hiding more options.

Looking at these three options, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "What does 'Worship the God' mean?"

He clicked curiously, and then saw a line of text appear on the Talisman Register: The Great God of All Living Beings has sensed your reverence.
