The face of the God of Light statue returned to its original blurred state, and the strange force field surrounding the statue gradually disappeared.
It was not that something happened to Shura. In fact, Shura was not completely annihilated. Instead, when Chen Rui realized the truth of the universe of birth and destruction, he truly returned to Chen Rui's body as another self. Just like how rivers flow into the sea, destruction returned to the mystery of the entire "universe".
The [External Incarnation] was more like a clone skill derived from this. Even if this clone was endowed with corresponding independent consciousness by Chen Rui, it was only equivalent to another thought of the main body. It would not become an existence that could reverse the situation like before.
The reason why Shura stopped his power was that the faith power accumulated by the statue in the prayer hall was running out. The lesser the faith power, the stronger the counterattack of the repulsive force. Just in case, Chen Rui withdrew the clone. Not only that, but the footsteps outside were getting closer. It should be Mana and the others.
These stolen faith power were accumulated in Shura's body and transformed into the faith power of the Super System. This transformation speed was relatively slow. It was equivalent to getting a lot of food to store first, then eating a portion every day and slowly digesting it.
In any case, the success of this attempt gave Chen Rui an unexpected surprise. The "legacy" left by Shura was indeed extraordinary. Just like stealing the faith power of the Super System, he could actually steal and transform faith power outside of himself.
In this way, the production speed of faith crystals would be greatly accelerated. It was not an extravagant hope to reach 1 million to return to the Demon Realm through [Star Gate]!
Then, Chen Rui's top priorities now became 2. First, sneak into White Cliff and go to the Holy Mountain of Light to pick Snow Dallet; Second, try to steal the faith power of the Church of Light and gather 1 million faith crystals as soon as possible.
These 2 missions were related to the Church of Light. The current "Substitute Light Knight" plan was the key.
When Chen Rui walked out of the prayer hall, he saw Priest Mana, Lucio and others waiting outside. When the fat priest saw Chen Rui walk out, he hurriedly asked, "Richard, has your spiritual force fully recovered?"
"I haven't fully recovered yet, but I'm fine now." Chen Rui looked at Lucio. "It seems that our Lord Priest is indeed extraordinary. He solved the problem so quickly."
"It's just a trivial matter." Mana's triangular eyes flashed with pride. "But you, my friend. Just now, Zola said that she felt something strange in the hall, but she didn't dare to go in and disturb them. This made me a little worried about your condition. Fortunately, you are fine. "
Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the friar, Zola, and found that the friar's strength was only F, but his mind power was E-. Chen Rui deliberately asked, "Friar Zola, what did you feel just now?"
Zola replied respectfully, "It was just a special feeling. I can't really describe it, but it lasted for a while before disappearing when Lord Mana arrived. Perhaps it was just an illusion."
"No, your feeling wasn't wrong. It was a fluctuation of my spiritual force just now," Chen Rui thought quickly, already coming up with an excuse. "There's a special holy aura in this hall. When I recovered my strength, my spiritual force seemed to have been cleansed and refined. My strength has been stagnant for a few years, but now I can actually faintly feel a trace of enlightenment to break through the bottleneck."
"Oh?" Mana's eyes lit up. The stronger 'Richard' was, the more powerful his beastmastery would be, and the more beneficial it would be for the two's plan. If he could get in touch with Cardinal Rogge through Elisa, not only would Manar become the bishop of the capital that he had been coveting for a long time, Richard would also be able to become a knight in waiting. In the long run, he would be able to find a powerful paladin to back him up and bind him with benefits. This would benefit him greatly as a bishop as well.
"Mana, if I don't disturb you, I hope to stay in the Church for a while. I hope to grasp this breakthrough inspiration and strive to break through to the next stage of grandmaster." Chen Rui's words faintly revealed that he had already reached the first stage of grandmaster (equivalent to a demon king).
As expected, Mana was pleasantly surprised, more and more convinced that Chen Rui was a genius from a large family. He agreed without hesitation, "Of course! You will soon become a substitute knight of light, and there are some rules and etiquette that need to be firmly grasped. Stay in the Church and use the time to comprehend and learn. In fact, we don't have much time left. "
Just like that, Chen Rui grandly stayed in the Church of Light. In the next few days, he would go to the prayer hall every day to 'comprehend'. Sometimes it was in the dead of night, and sometimes it was when the believers were praying.
After a few days, his gains were not small. Not only did he digest half of the stolen faith and convert it into faith crystals, but Chen Rui also experimented with a more covert stealing method. Using Shura's talent in illusions from the mirage, he created a 'real illusion' that hid the changes of the Wheel of Faith and the statue's face. This way, he could steal faith openly even in public.
Of course, the prerequisite was that no one could see through the illusion of the mirage. Generally speaking, it was safer when there was no one around.
The only regret was that since Chen Rui first used his clone to steal the faith power of the statue, the recovery speed of the statue's faith power seemed unsatisfactory. In the past few days, the total faith power stolen by Shura was not even one-tenth of the first time.
The Church of Light had quite a lot of believers. The statue was equivalent to the Pillar of Faith of the Super System. Even if he didn't go to the prayer hall to pray, the usual faith could be automatically absorbed by the statue of the [God of Light]. It could probably be recovered after 1 or 2 months. This speed was actually not slow, but for Chen Rui who had limited time, it was obviously not feasible to wait like this.
It seemed that the target of stealing could no longer be limited to Gudan Town. He had to change the target.
At this moment, Pastor Mana just proposed to leave for Garton City immediately. Fatty received the latest news. Although Cardinal Roger did not arrive at the Yangshao capital, his favorite niece, Ms. Eliza, changed her itinerary on the way. Her goal was the largest demonic beast trading market in the Yangshao Kingdom, Garton City.
The person in charge of the Garton City Church, Pastor Solanton, was Mana's cousin and belonged to the same faction in the church as Mana. This time, Chen Rui's candidate for the Knight of Light candidate was recommended by the Garton City Church.
Of course, Chen Rui would not object. He took Lucio and set off with Mana on the carriage to Garton City.
Gudan Town was about a five-day drive from Garton City. As usual, Mana hired mercenaries from the Mercenary Guild to escort them. As the Holy Feather Mercenary Group had 'offended' the church, they were abandoned this time. Mana chose another more powerful mercenary group, Iron Shield.
Coincidentally, Chen Rui had some impression of the leader of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group. She was the female mercenary who had warned Chen Rui not to be Lucio's slave. Her name was Ina, and she looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. She had a petite figure but had a mature charm. Her strength was D, which was equivalent to a high-level demon. She was a shield warrior who specialized in defense.
This time, there were more than 40 members of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group participating in the escort. They were all equipped with mounts. The escort team formed two columns, protecting the carriage in the middle.
Ina's mount was an Earthly Dragon Beast. It looked clumsy, but it was not slow. Lucio's attitude towards Ina seemed to be especially attentive. He rode a horse and traveled side by side with Ina. Along the way, he struck up a conversation from time to time. Ina's attitude was very indifferent, and she rarely spoke.
At night, the group camped in the forest along the way.
"You're really different from before." Ina finally spoke. "Compared to a year ago, you've changed a lot. Is it because of … that person?"
Lucio looked in the direction of her gaze and nodded. "That's right. The annihilation of the group in the Violent Poison Grotto a year ago was the turning point in my life. Meeting Captain … means that my life has a chance to start anew."
Ina had a slightly strange look on her face. She looked at Chen Rui in the distance, and her gaze was a little more surprised.
"You call him Captain?" The bearded mercenary beside her revealed a look of disdain. "Looking at his age, even if he's hiding his strength, he's at most a guardsman level. However, from the attitude of that fatty, Mana, towards him, his background should not be small. Fierce Spear Lucio, you really have 'foresight' to find a young master with power and influence to be your master."
Lucio felt that he had made a fool of himself in front of Ina. His face turned red, and he stood up abruptly. He glared at Big Beard, but suddenly calmed down. Without saying anything, he turned around and left. His master had the strength of a saint, and as a follower, he naturally did not need to be calculative with these ignorant people.
This reaction made Ina's gaze move. She frowned slightly. "Silva, I know that you and Lucio don't see eye to eye, but this time we're hired by the church to escort them to Garton City. No matter what, we can't affect the completion of this mission. Also … I have a feeling that Richard is not a simple person. Tell the brothers to restrain themselves and pay attention to their words and actions. "
"I understand, Captain." Big Beard nodded. "Actually, I can't be bothered to argue with trash like Lucio. It's just that I can't stand seeing him overestimate himself and keep pestering you. Besides, no matter how strong his master is, he can't be compared to our Deputy Captain."
"Of course." At the mention of "Deputy Captain", Ina's eyes lit up a little. "I don't know if he has completed his mission. This guy just likes to act alone."
"Don't worry." Big Beard shook his head disapprovingly. "With that person's strength, it shouldn't be a problem. The only thing Sir Captain needs to worry about is that he won't be snatched away by other women."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're in charge of the vigil tonight! If anything goes wrong, get the f * ck back to Gudan Town! "Ina waved her fist, and Big Beard ran away while laughing.
Chen Rui did not pay attention to these details. After eating something, he hid in the tent and began to "train". The fat priest naturally ordered everyone not to disturb him.
These days, in addition to studying the power of faith, Chen Rui was also trying the new functions of the Super System.
In addition to the new skills, a new building was added to the 6-star evolution – the Star-Sealing Platform.
The construction of the Star-Sealing Platform required 100,000 auras and 100 faith crystals. Originally, because he needed 1 million faith crystals to return to the Demon Realm, he had to accumulate it little by little without any other way. Therefore, Chen Rui was reluctant to use it for other purposes.
Now that Shura had successfully stolen the power of faith, he had gained nearly 3,000 faith crystals before he could digest the "stolen" faith. Only then did Chen Rui make up his mind to start building the Star-Sealing Platform.
