The moment he finished speaking, an invisible force seemed to fall into Reid's body from the void.
He raised his hands and suddenly opened them.
In an instant, the light around them dimmed slightly.
It was as if a filter had been cast over everything.
Quintina and the other two didn't know what was going on, but they weren't worried.
If the other party really wanted to harm them, they wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.
"This is …" Ya Erlin asked curiously.
"Information lockdown." Reid put down his hands. "All the information here won't leak out at all. You can think of it as a barrier that eliminates the sense of existence."
Reid emphasized the word "eliminate."
It wasn't weakening, but eliminating.
All information had been blocked.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous." Quintina showed an interested expression. "You just shouted and asked for the support of a 'Mister'. I wonder who this' Mister 'is …"
"Our superior, of course." Reid seemed to be satisfied with their curiosity by telling them everything he knew. "He's also the God you speak of. Sir doesn't care about what we call him. We can call him whatever we like. Respect is kept in our hearts."
"So, the sentence just now can also be understood as' I ask the Lord to give me power '?" Quintina asked again.
At this moment, she didn't have the languid temperament that Wu Jiong had seen at first.
Her long fiery red hair was naturally tied behind her back. Instead, she looked very capable.
It was obvious that she was full of curiosity about that "God."
She wanted to know more.
This was also related to the fact that she had also obtained a skill and that the figure of that "God" had appeared in her mind.
"There's no problem if you understand it that way." Reid's face was full of admiration. "Sir doesn't ask us to believe in and serve him, but his great power and status are all real gods. Therefore, as his recognized subordinates, we can ask for his help."
In the world of Tang, Shen Yi's God Kingdom was expanding.
He also gradually began to possess some of the power of a god.
The skill bestowed before was one of them. What Reid displayed now was also one of them.
When necessary, Shen Yi could even use part of his power to possess them.
In other words, "God's Descent."
Without a doubt, the people that benefited the most from this were naturally Gu Yan and the others.
As long as the connection with Shen Yi was not cut off, he could temporarily borrow power from Shen Yi and even return to the God's Kingdom at any time.
To a certain extent — —
They were beginning to experience the benefits of having a god as their backer.
"I wonder how I can gain the approval of that god?" Arlen didn't hide his envy. "If you don't need faith, will money do? I don't ask for much, as long as you can give my family some protection. "
Reid didn't know how to respond to Arlen's "I want to join the church" expression.
This person was truly sincere.
It was as if he didn't hide his thoughts at all.
Reid hesitated for a moment, then spread out his hands and said, "It's useless for you to ask us. Maybe you can try to beg us."
As people who had followed Shen Yi for some time, Reid and the others knew that Shen Yi must be looking at them at this moment.
Even if he wasn't, Senior Clove would still be looking at them.
Arlen didn't hesitate at all. He imitated Reid's actions and placed his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently recited:
"Great unknown god, I ask you for the well-being of my family, and I'm willing to give you all of my assets."
Ju Boyuan seemed to want to say something, but after looking at Quintina who was smiling without any intention of doing anything, he didn't say anything in the end.
At this moment, Clove, who was standing beside Shen Yi, was a little surprised.
"All of his assets? That's a fortune that can cause a financial tsunami for the entire civilization. "
"How sincere do you think he is in his words?" Shen Yi asked.
"Based on his expression, he's serious." Clove had already analyzed the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so surprised.
"But in reality, it's only 5% at most." Shen Yi laughed. "His feelings for his family are indeed very deep and very real, but if anyone thinks that they can use his family to control him, they'll be disappointed."
"Captain, you mean …" Clove suddenly understood something. He turned his head and looked at Arlen, who was sincerely praying for his family. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said in a low voice, "Bait."
As a member of the highest council, he didn't hide his unparalleled love for his family. Even his immense wealth was insignificant compared to his family.
All of this.
He was basically telling everyone that he could do anything for his family.
However, this was bait.
He was using his beloved family and his own emotions as bait.
No matter if it was Shen Yi, who had suddenly appeared, or the enemy, who they still didn't know the true identity of, if they really used his family as a bargaining chip to control him, they would fall into a trap.
This was because some responsibilities were more important than the love for his family.
This wasn't some farsighted trap. It was just a "bait" that started with true feelings and ended with responsibility.
"Captain, what do you plan to do?" Clove looked at Shen Yi again.
Since they knew it was bait, ignoring it seemed to be the best choice.
However, they didn't plan to put spies in the first place.
So, the answer seemed obvious.
"Eat the bait. Don't worry about the trap," Shen Yi said with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, Ya Erlin's beloved wife, his eldest son, his most beloved daughter, and himself all had balls of lightning and fire appear on the back of their hands.
Although it only appeared for a moment, it disappeared.
But Arlen and the others were inexplicably clear.
The ball of lightning fire was still on the back of their hands.
They even knew what it meant.
— Fire Seed!
The Fire Seed of Humanity!
The person who had this symbol was the chosen Fire Seed of Civilization! Shouldering the responsibility of the Successor of Humanity, it also meant that they would receive the highest protection and promise! No matter what kind of apocalypse it was, no matter what kind of crisis it was, it would not threaten their lives!
For these people who were facing the end of the world, this was the right to survive!
Therefore, Arlen's expression completely changed.
Even his body was trembling.
He didn't care whether he could survive or not.
However, this also represented the lives and future of his family. It was impossible for him to not care!
