Within the café, the young man and Yang Cheng looked at each other awkwardly.
However, they had to continue.
“I called you about sothing important…” the young man said.
“Hah…”
Hearing the young man’s words, Chen Rou coldly laughed before saying, “If I rember correctly, you used similar words to trick last ti.”
“It’s true this ti,” the young man looked even more awkward and hurriedly spoke.
Following this, he told Chen Rou everything that he had been through, causing her expression to change.
At first, she still looked a bit disdainful, but by the end, her expression had beco quite serious.
“Are you telling the truth?” Chen Rou frowned and confird.
“Do you really think we would lie to you about such a thing?” the young man’s voice sounded out, accompanied by a bitter laugh.
Only then did Chen Rou’s expression soften.
Indeed, even though the two of them might dare to lie to her about many things, this was definitely not one of them.
On one hand, it would be quite easy to verify sothing like this, so there was no point in lying to her.
On the other hand, this news was far too big.
If they dared to use this kind of information to trick the governnt, the governnt would be completely enraged.
When that ti ca, no matter how useful they were, they would not be able to live stably.
Thinking to there, Chen Rou nodded and said, “I’ll believe you this once. However, if you dare to lie to again, you know what the consequences will be.”
“We understand.”
Hearing Chen Rou’s words, the two of them let out sighs of relief.
Even though Chen Rou was quite severe, this also ant that she was taking this seriously.
This ant that they had achieved their goal.
“Also, there’s sothing else…” the young man said hesitantly.
“What is it?” Chen Rou asked casually.
“It’s…” the young man paused for a mont.
What he wanted to tell her about was encountering Chen Heng and their curse energy being purified.
Curse energy being purified and suppressed was sothing that had never happened before.
If the governnt knew about this, it would greatly lower the number of deaths.
At the very least, so people who were about to be devoured by their curses would be able to survive.
However, if this was revealed, there would also be downsides.
With how the governnt did things, once they knew about this, they would most likely take control of that child.
From how the governnt saw this, they were doing a good thing—they could protect the child while making the most of his abilities.
However, to the boy, this would completely ss up his life.
As such, he hesitated and did not know if he should tell her.
“Speak,” Chen Rou’s impatient voice sounded out.
“Forget it.”
Hearing Chen Rou’s voice, the young man still had not made a decision and could only give an awkward laugh as he said, “If there’s any other information, I will imdiately let you know.”
After saying this, he ended the call.
Elsewhere, standing there, Chen Rou frowned and muttered to herself, “What a weirdo.”
After this, she returned to the living room.
By then, Chen Heng had already disappeared; it seed that he had returned to his room.
After what she had just heard, she no longer had the heart to continue to lecture him.
As such, she shook her head and picked up her phone as she made so calls.
The information that the two people had given her was very important.
If that Cursed Land really did exist, this entire city would be in danger.
This matter was of great importance.
As such, she imdiately made calls to let others know.
Within Chen Heng’s room, he sat at his desk and thought to himself as he listened to Chen Rou’s discussions.
“So it’s like that.”
Hearing Chen Rou’s discussions, he could not help but smile.
Because Chen Rou was in the living room, she thought that Chen Heng could not hear her.
However, contrary to what she thought, Chen Heng could clearly hear everything she was saying.
This was not him keeping surveillance on her; it was simply an ordinary function of his ntal energy.
As his ntal energy beca stronger, it would instinctively lock onto his surroundings.
Within that range, no breeze or movent of grass would escape his notice.
As long as Chen Heng did not consciously shut this down, it would continuously go on.
Let alone a phone call a room away, this would be the sa for even further places.
However, Chen Heng was quite surprised about Chen Rou’s identity.
It seed that his big sister in this world was connected to Yang Cheng and the young man.
From how things seed, they were connected to the governnt.
However, from what Chen Heng could sense, Chen Rou did not possess a curse like Yang Cheng and the young man. Even though she had the aura of so curses, they did not originate from her.
“Is it a Cursed Item?” Chen Heng thought to himself.
It seed that the source of the aura of the curse energy was from a Cursed Item.
Chen Heng had been quite curious about these things.
Moreover, from Chen Rou’s words, it seed that she knew Yang Cheng and the young man.
From how things seed, there was much between them.
Things were becoming more and more interesting.
Elsewhere, within the café, the young man ended the call and let out a breath as he looked at Yang Cheng.
“It’s done.”
He stood there as he spoke, “If nothing goes wrong, the governnt’s people should co over soon.”
“I hope that’s the case,” Yang Cheng shook his head as he said, “Hopefully they will be able to move fast. Otherwise, as ti goes on, things will beco more and more serious.
“If it breaks out, everything will be too late.”
“Let’s hope so.”
Hearing Yang Cheng’s words, the young man nodded and said softly, “But right now, there’s nothing we can do. Let’s just wait.”
“That’s true,” Yang Cheng nodded.
Indeed, apart from waiting, there was not much else they could do.
No, perhaps there were so things they could do.
………..
Yang Cheng seed to think of sothing and raised his head as he looked at the young man, “Let’s find an opportunity to go and visit that church.”
Hearing those words, the young man stared for a while before coming back to his senses, understanding what Yang Cheng ant.
Following this, he nodded.
…
Ti gradually passed.
After that day, nothing seed to change.
Of course, for Chen Heng, he could sense so changes.
The most evident change was that Chen Rou beca busier and busier every day.
In the past, at least she would occasionally return ho.
However, as the situation beca more serious, even if she ca ho, it would be very late.
Of course, Chen Rou had her own reasons—her excuse was that her boss kept wanting her to work overti.
She sounded quite pitiful.
As for Chen Heng, his life did not change much.
Every day, he would continue to act out the role he had. He would go to class every day and visit the church whenever he could, praying with the other believers.
There were other people working at the church, but of those people, Chen Heng was the youngest but also the most diligent.
Even though the others would often co over, they were not as eager as him.
As ti passed, everyone beca quite used to him.
After school every day, as long as Chen Rou was not at ho, he would co here.
Sotis, he would just listen as a congregant, and at other tis, he would absorb faith energy and convert it into divine energy.
Of course, as ti went on, the faith energy accumulated in this church had long since been cleared out by Chen Heng.
The reason why he still ca was out of habit, as well as to absorb the newly-gathered divine energy.
For Chen Heng, this was a place that could periodically generate divine energy, so it was worth coming out.
During this process, Chen Heng also tried other thods.
“Just using this thod might be a bit slow…”
Listening to the middle-aged Father loudly speaking, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he thought to himself.
Using this thod to absorb faith energy was indeed quite troubleso.
In order to absorb the faith energy from the statue, Chen Heng had to personally co to the church.
It was not too bad for a short period of ti, but in the long-term, it felt a bit too slow and inefficient.
This was not the only Holy Mother church in this world.
Even just in this city alone, there were many other Holy Mother churches.
Chen Heng could periodically co here, but he could not visit every single church and absorb all of the faith energy.
Moreover, even if Chen Heng could do it, the efficiency would be a bit too low.
As such, he began to think about a more efficient thod.
“Faith energy originates from the hope of souls…” Chen Heng thought to himself, “In other words, as long as a living creature places its hope in another creature, it can produce faith energy…
“So believers can create faith energy for gods, and Herdosiri and the others can produce faith energy for my main body…”
The so-called faith energy did not necessarily have to co from believers’ faith; rather than faith, it ca from a soul’s emotions.
It was not just faith; in actuality, trust, loyalty, and hatred could all produce faith energy.
This was the essence of faith energy.
The target of the Holy Mother church’s believers was the Holy Mother of the legends.
If this world really had such a person, that faith energy would gradually gather onto her.
However, there was no such existence in this world.
As such, that faith energy did not go to the Holy Mother and instead gathered on the statues.
As such, it was very easy for Chen Heng to take that faith energy.
“If I can replace the Holy Mother of the legends, then perhaps stealing faith energy would not be a problem…”
Sitting there, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he thought to himself, “But how to do that is the problem…”
Stealing faith energy was quite a foreign concept to him.
Strictly speaking, this faith energy belonged to the Holy Mother of the legends.
Since that was the case, if Chen Heng beca the Holy Mother, then he would be able to steal all of this faith energy.
However, this seed like it would be quite difficult to do.
“Let’s give it a try…” Chen Heng frowned as he thought to himself.
Knowledge about stealing faith energy was heavily suppressed in the World of Gods, so even Chen Heng did not know much about it.
As such, he could only do so tests himself to see if he could find a path.
Fortunately, there were not any real gods in this world.
Otherwise, let alone trying it, Chen Heng would not even dare to think about it.
After all, if this world really did have gods, the instant Chen Heng thought about such a thing, he would be buried by the gods’ fury.
But given the situation, it was worth trying out.
After thinking this, Chen Heng silently got up and walked out.
In the following few days, Chen Heng continuously thought to himself.
Finally, one night, Chen Heng began to start his tests.
Using his power, he once again split his soul, turning it into a clone.
However, different than before, this clone was not created through the simulator; instead, Chen Heng sent it directly into a statue.
As Chen Heng watched on, within the massive church, the statue began to glow as his soul entered it.
Following this, the faith energy within Chen Heng’s body began to increase.
Even though he had not actively absorbed any faith energy, boundless faith energy began to flow into his body.
“Looks like there were no problems with the first step…” Chen Heng thought to himself.
What he had done was send a portion of his soul into the Holy Mother statue, turning it into the Holy Mother statue’s spirit.
This way, he could be counted as that statue, allowing him to take that statue’s faith energy.
Of course, this was just one statue.
If he wanted to directly replace this world’s Holy Mother with himself, he had a much longer path ahead of him.
However, since this first step had succeeded, this was a big encouragent to him.
In the following days, Chen Heng did not do much.
However, behind the scenes, there were changes going on.
At night, within a room in a church, the Father slowly opened his eyes.
“Where… am I?”
He looked around hazily.
The scene around him had completely changed.
He was in a sparse, grassy plains, where there were creatures frolicking about.
They were extrely beautiful creatures and looked like human won, but they were extrely small.
“Are these… Fairies?”
Looking at those things, the Father was shocked as he looked about.
When he looked carefully, this area was completely revealed to him.
