Chapter 1711: A Talent Worth Molding

Chen Yu closed his eyes; in truth, he knew in his heart that Wang Dashan's ability was passable and his Spirit Root was above average; if he devoted himself to cultivation, he would be a talent worth molding.

But there was one point: this man's ambition was too great. Chen Yu could see an unyielding ambition in his eyes, so it was better not to make some things too clear.

Letting him be an ordinary person might just be the best fortune of his life.

"Is Dharma Cultivation really that difficult?" After a pause, Wang Dashan seemed still unwilling to give up; he raised his head and asked Chen Yu.

"Do you think it is difficult to want to live as long as Heaven and Earth?" Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "Do not think that things in this world are all simple."

"Dharma Cultivation is the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao; it can be said to be fighting for Life against Heaven, opposing Heaven and Earth. Do you think that would be an easy thing?"

"But why do you have such an opportunity, and why can't I?" Wang Dashan asked.

"You can have it too," Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "But the premise is that you can bear the consequences brought by the backlash of the Heavenly Dao; you must pay the corresponding price."

"What kind of price do I need to pay?" Wang Dashan's eyes grew fervent.

"Separation from relatives, parting from flesh and blood, the death of all loved ones," Chen Yu said leisurely. "There is also the possibility of severing all emotions and desires, or even ending your own life to start a new one. Can you accept such a price?"

Wang Dashan stopped speaking. Although he had wandered in Fusang for so many years and had suffered all kinds of hardships, the things Chen Yu mentioned were still things he could not accept.

He truly had no way to make himself endure those things, so he had to maintain Silence.

"Actually, everyone's Life is the same," Shandao, who was driving, suddenly spoke. "Everyone comes into this world with their own Life; everyone is the same, each performing their own duties."

"So do not deliberately envy other people's lives; perhaps the life you have now is exactly what others envy."

"Look, you are not even as clear-sighted as a Fusang person right now," Chen Yu smiled.

"As long as my wife is safe and sound, I have no other requests in this world," Shandao smiled and said. "The life I have now is the happiest for me, so no matter how others are, I do not envy them."

"It is good to have such thoughts," Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"The church has arrived; it is right ahead," Shandao pointed forward.

Chen Yu looked up ahead and saw a church appear.

This church was built in the last century and had been around for some years; the exterior appeared slightly dilapidated, but the huge cross above the church still looked very magnificent and spectacular.

And inside the church, nearly a hundred believers dressed in white clothes were kneeling on the ground, worshiping devoutly.

At the very front of the church, a man was giving a speech generously; he was speaking very vigorously, even spreading his arms and stating everything with impassioned words.

Just at this moment, a Red-robed Archbishop suddenly descended slowly from above.

"The Archbishop of our Apocalypse Society, Liu Tian Shengtai, he is a servant of God, and all his power, everything, comes from God," the man giving the speech shouted excitedly, waving his arms. "Now, Mr. Liutian will bring everyone God's blessing."

Enthusiastic cheers immediately came from below, and all the brainwashed believers surged forward frantically, trying to get closer to the servant of God.

Liutian glanced at the crowd coldly; when he landed, he waved his right hand, and an invisible force emanated from his sleeves. With a 'whoosh', the believers surging forward were pushed away from his body by force.

"The dignity of God brooks no blasphemy; you are all currently of flesh and blood, and the Turbid Breath on your bodies will blaspheme the divine," Liutian's cold voice rang out.

All the believers retreated slowly; they carried expressions of panic and awe for God, then slowly knelt on the ground.

Liutian struck a pose; his gaze swept over the scene indifferently, then he reached out casually, turning his palm into a claw, and slowly rotated it toward a withered flower in a corner of the church.

Following the rotation of his right hand, an inexplicable force surged from his palm. As his palm slowly rotated, the withered little plant was seen gradually turning from yellow to green, finally radiating new vitality.

Although this trick was simple, in the eyes of everyone, it was a very remarkable feat. Everyone knelt on the ground, shouting and worshiping toward Liutian.

Liutian said in a deep voice, "God pities all living beings for their suffering, so He entrusted me to bring blessings."

As he spoke, he slowly took out a bottle and sprinkled the water from the bottle into mid-air.

The believers below surged forward as if they had gone mad; they let their bodies be moistened by this Holy Water, hoping that their Life could change because of it.

Of course, these things were only what they thought in their hearts; this water was actually just ordinary water.

"Just this little trick, and it can fool people?" Chen Yu, who had been watching the scene, asked with some surprise.

"This... for ordinary people, it is indeed quite magical," Wang Dashan said somewhat awkwardly.

To tell the truth, he was also an atheist before, but there was no help for it; these charlatans of the Apocalypse Society were really too good at fooling people.

Moreover, their methods were indeed quite powerful for ordinary people, which was why so many people were deceived; because just by showing a little trick, it was something everyone could not resist.

Especially when a person was in despair and suddenly saw these things, they would definitely be amazed; so sometimes, it really wasn't the fault of these believers for being ignorant; they were just at their wit's end.

"Yes, at that time, the methods displayed by that Archbishop also amazed me; I was shocked for a moment," Shandao also said somewhat awkwardly. "But I only now realize that their so-called methods, in front of Mr. Chen, are simply child's play."

"Hmm, it is indeed child's play," Chen Yu said disdainfully. "To be able to bring this stuff out to put on a show, they really have some nerve."

Wang Dashan was choked up; this kind of child's play, in the eyes of ordinary people like them, was a height that was unreachable.

It was just that when he thought about it seriously, for Chen Yu, this kind of thing really didn't count as anything.

However, the volume of Chen Yu's words was too high, even drowning out the cheers of these believers. Liutian raised his head and looked coldly at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also glared back unceremoniously; who was this guy trying to intimidate with his eyes? He didn't fall for that.

Liutian smiled; his figure moved, he rushed forward rapidly, and then instantly landed steadily beside Chen Yu and the others.
