196. Chapter 196: New World (Extra Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)

Inside the church.

Accompanied by the twitching of the Sadu wizard's facial muscles and his rolling eyes, his life aura was also weakening rapidly...

On the contrary, Fang Xing obtained a lot of information.

"Sadu Sect, a religious belief group that emphasizes 'Worship of All Spirits'... They believe that 'all things have spirits', worshiping the source spirit—'Great Lord'!"

"The Sadu Sect can be traced back to the Bright Empire period... Hmm, this land is quite chaotic and dark, and there is no way of dating... only knowing that countless years ago, there was an unimaginably huge empire—the Bright Empire, ruling this land... Later, the empire collapsed, turning into countless duchies and autonomous territories, and the Radiance Church rose, spreading radiance to every place..."

"Whether it is the Bright Empire or the Radiance Church, they both regard the Sadu Sect as an illegal evil cult, and if caught, they will be sent to the stake and burned alive..."

"Uh... it doesn't look very civilized either."

"It's just that in the last few hundred years, the situation has changed. A prophecy has risen in the Sadu Sect, saying that 'Radiance has passed', and the influence of the Radiance Church has indeed declined significantly, so Sadu Sect wizards and various other supernatural sects have begun to come out and operate openly, fighting for territory..."

"This wizard is the one who followed the orders of the higher-level 'Menbasa Wizard', just arrived in this Bayi small village not long ago, but also killed the church servant and began to collect sacrifices..."

After a long time, Fang Xing put down the wizard's corpse and thought silently.

After slightly understanding the world background, what he cared about more was the supernatural path of this world!

"In the Sadu Sect, they emphasize the worship of all spirits... They divide spirits into three levels: Spirit, Great Spirit, Source Spirit! The Source Spirit is unique, only the 'Great Lord' they worship, believing it is the flow of the Great Lord's spirituality, bestowing spirits on all things..."

"Even the lowest-level 'Spirit' has a terrifying characteristic—immortal! Spirits can never be eliminated, this is almost an iron law!"

"And according to the different nature of spirits, they can be divided into natural spirits, object spirits, soul spirits, elemental spirits..."

"Natural spirits are all kinds of natural things, such as trees, insects, beasts..."

"Object spirits are all kinds of objects, such as candles, long swords..."

"Soul spirits are related to humans, believed to be spirits after human death, or may only be a part, such as a pair of hands, a string of intestines, an eye, etc..."

"Elemental spirits are wind, fire, thunder, rain..."

"The supernatural path of the Sadu Sect is to please a certain type of spirit through various bloody sacrifices, then carry it, make oneself merge with the spirit, improve spirituality... and then be able to cast various Sadu witchcraft—such people are called 'wizards'!"

"The more powerful the spirit, the harder it is to carry, and the more sacrifices it demands... This Sadu wizard carries a 'Soul Spirit', which belongs to the weaker ones among spirits..."

"It is rumored that in the far north, there are special humans living in high towers... They specialize in studying elemental spirits and have been able to form very perfect seals... They can extract the power of elemental spirits and easily cast various elemental spells, calling themselves 'Mages'!"

"Spirit... immortal?!"

For Fang Xing, what he cared about most was naturally this.

Immortal!

This characteristic could almost make scientists go bald!

Woo woo!

After the Sadu wizard died, his corpse was still twitching.

Even, his limbs began to twist at an angle that violated common sense, like a spider folded backwards, and his mouth opened wider and wider.

In Fang Xing's spiritual alien power, the back-spirit carried by this wizard had completely merged into his body.

"Indeed... although this kind of spirit is restrained by my martial arts will, it did indeed die and resurrect just now... or rather, it never died at all!"

"No, this is not a spirit, but a product of some evil god pollution... That's why it can be restrained by my martial arts will."

"However... it won't be completely destroyed, which is very strange..."

Fang Xing was after all a university student, and his knowledge was very rich.

He pondered for a moment and faintly drew a conclusion: "Although the power is relatively weak... but the 'position' of the power is very high?! That's why this strange phenomenon appears?"

"If the so-called 'Source Spirit' is really the source of everything, then it, no, He, is He an extraterrestrial evil god?" 【196-37

"With the blessing of the evil deity's status, although I can easily disperse this pollution, I cannot eliminate its essence... It looks like some degree of immortality?"

Fang Xing thought while extending his foot to step on the corpse-changing shaman wizard.

"It's simple if I want to verify it... I actually have a bit of status myself, and my position is quite high..."

He touched his brow.

Previously, he had leveled the 'Great Sun Tathagata Mantra' to the master level, condensed the Great Sun divinity, and turned it into a Great Sun relic.

In the evil deity system, those who possess divinity are all descendants of evil deities!

In terms of status, they are higher than high-level kin.

Even some powerful descendants of high-level dominators can contend with weak low-level dominators!

Thinking of this, he pressed his brow.

The Great Sun relic shone with boundless light, and rays of brilliance fell, binding the back-spirit within the Sadu wizard.

That brilliance swept back and fell into Fang Xing's brow, the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra operating slowly, as if a Great Sun furnace were rising, constantly refining the 'back-spirit' inside.

"Hmm?"

A feeling came, although difficult, as if it were constantly crushing and chewing food, making it easier to digest.

Fang Xing felt that his Great Sun relic seemed to have swallowed some great tonic, and even the proficiency of the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra began to rise.

【Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 33/400 (Master)】

"Sure enough, it is very strong evil deity pollution... the status is relatively high, but there is no divinity."

He lowered his head and saw that the shaman wizard's corpse had completely stiffened and was even rotting quickly; other than that, there was nothing unusual.

That undying back-spirit seemed to be truly dead...

"A very good fuel."

Fang Xing sighed and turned to walk out of the church.

He was actually quite interested in the so-called 'Radiant Court'.

It was a pity that the church servant had been turned into human body art, and there was no one to discuss it with him.

At this moment, he noticed a group of people crowding around a fat man coming over.

The fat man in the lead was fair and clean, with a kind face, brown hair, and clothes made of fine fabric.

Seeing Fang Xing, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Distinguished guest from afar, thank you for removing a threat for our village... I am Bayi, the lord of this village; please enjoy the honey and white bread."

Short, broken... most of them were thatched and wooden boards pieced together at will, and there were even dugouts.

The only few intact brick and stone structures should belong to the local landlord—Master Bayi.

Master Bayi didn't have a "title", he could only be considered an ordinary landlord, of course, in this kind of poor and remote place, he was also an absolute big shot.

And the best house in this village was not Master Bayi's residence, but a... church?

This church seemed to have just experienced a war, the ground looked very messy, and the windows and doors had traces of slashing and breaking.

A huge stone tablet was inscribed and broken into pieces, laid in front of the church, seemingly deliberately for people to step on.

Looking closely, it seemed to be the stone tablet that originally stood on the church, with the emblems of the sun and moon on it.

In the church, there seemed to be something inexplicable and terrifying, opening its bloody mouth, wanting to choose people and devour them...

On this land, when a lord invites a guest to eat bread, salt, or honey... it implies the conclusion of a contract, and both sides have their own obligations and rights.

He walked into the village and immediately felt gazes that were either examining or hostile.

"Stranger!"

A high-pitched voice sounded, and then a woman holding her child rushed into the house quickly and slammed the door shut.

"I... am not that scary, right?"

Fang Xing walked towards the church step by step.

Just halfway there, a burly white man with a wine-red nose blocked him. He had a head of wine-red curly hair, his chest half-exposed, full of thick chest hair, just like a big gorilla.

"Stranger... where do you come from?" He looked Fang Xing up and down, showing an unkind smile.

"From where I should come!"

Fang Xing smiled.

Obviously, his words full of Zen did not arouse the slightest interest of this hooligan or thug, but instead made him feel provoked.

The white burly man spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and his voice became ferocious: "Stranger... you stepped on Master Bayi's land, you should pay 'Blood Tax' to Master Bayi!"

"Pay tax?"

Fang Xing nodded: "How much money?"

Candles at night are quite expensive, so they choose to dine before darkness falls.

"Blood tax doesn't want your money, just your blood... and meat!"

The burly man's expression was a bit crazy: "One eye, one ear, and a bowl of blood..."

He obviously wasn't scaring people, but took out a dark red dagger, preparing to really take action to "collect tax".

Not only that, judging from the filth remaining in the groove of the dagger, he obviously wasn't doing this for the first time.

"Sorry, I lied to you just now, even if it's paying money, I don't have money..."

Fang Xing suddenly showed a smile.

Then, he flicked his finger lightly, and the dagger broke in the middle, then flew up with a kick, kicking the burly man in the chest.

Crack!

In the harsh sound of bone cracking, the burly man flew backwards and hit an earthen wall.

If Fang Xing hadn't held back, he would have immediately turned into a corpse.

"You collect blood tax, what's the use of collecting it?"

Fang Xing came to the seriously injured burly man, knowing that the other party's internal organs had been pierced by ribs and was dying slowly.

His spiritual alien power directly suppressed the other party's resistance, forming a mental hypnosis-like effect.

"Sadu Wizard..."

The white burly man's eyes were dull, and a hint of fear appeared on his face: "Sadu Wizard killed the church servant, hung him on a tree, and sacrificed him to the natural spirit—Deer-Headed Essence! Appeased the anger of the Deer-Headed Essence... Master Bayi then chose to convert to the Sadu Sect... Sadu Wizard needs ten ears, ten eyes, and a pot of blood to sacrifice to the 'Spirit' he believes in..."

"Church servant?"

Fang Xing understood, knowing it was the unlucky guy who was hung on the tree with all four limbs pierced.
