The sudden outburst of the Skeleton Man caught only the staff mbers who had already sensed trouble, and Bai Ji, off guard; they were the only ones able to react. If not for Bai Ji's creation of a distant Ice Wall to knock the car, which could explode at any mont, into the air, the casualties could have been much worse. But the appearance of the Ice Wall also alerted the Skeleton Man that there was a powerful Transcendent among the tourists, so he imdiately dove into the crowd and fled.
Moreover, Ren Suo, with his "Insight into the Mortal World," could see with his supernatural vision that the Skeleton Man, in his eagerness to escape, showed no rcy to tourists in his way, striking them down ruthlessly—black flas ignited in his hand, and in re seconds, more than a dozen tourists were seriously injured!
It wasn't until Bai Ji gave chase that Ren Suo switched to "Rippling Spring Sounds"—kept in reserve as a last resort. He could have easily used Dong Chengling's Spirit Energy Coordinates to escape, which would indeed have been useful, but it would have been rather shaless.
If soone else told him, "With great power cos great responsibility," he would definitely think it was moral coercion. But in situations like this, when he happened to co across a demonically possessed criminal on a spree, Ren Suo certainly couldn't just dust off his hands and leave. So, he did his best, trying his hand at being a naless hero.
Furthermore, Ren Suo had just cleared the 5-star ga "Hand of Fate," and "Rippling Spring Sounds" had gained a lot more summonable ti. Until now, "Inverted World" had not reached a point where "Rippling Spring Sounds" was needed, but if he could clear "Inverted World," the summonable ti for Rippling Spring Sounds would naturally increase dramatically.
Items like this, just like money, are aningless if not used when they should be!
However, Ren Suo quickly assessed the situation and felt that he alone couldn't save so many people—his healing ability was sufficient, but there were too many injured tourists. By the ti he treated each one, it might be too late.
Fortunately, among Ren Suo's ga characters, there was one perfect for the current situation, a fatty whose star-level Ren Suo wouldn't mind seeing rise due to this event:
"After this is all wrapped up, can you give so ti to find sothing to eat? My taste buds are practically dead from boredom up here in the heavens."
"Then work quickly and start blasting," Ren Suo responded.
Not far from Ren Suo, at the very tip of the Drop Tower that had already stopped operating (for safety, it was closed at night), a light suddenly lit up. The gentle luminescence began to take shape like silky cotton, forming white robes, smooth skin, bright eyes, and a refreshing fragrance that pleased the senses...
Monts later, Zhao Zili, the shared Priest of the Three Gods who walked the earth in human form—adorable and chubby—appeared on the scene!
He didn't look down at the chaotic tourist crowd below, nor toward the colorful neon-lit streets where Ice Walls were rising in the distance. Instead, he looked up at the waning moon hanging in the sky, deeply inhaling the polluted air of Earth—the incessant chatter, the colorful light pollution, the thick air, not as fresh as in the Divine Kingdom but full of the mundane scent of life.
Zhao Zili exhaled deeply and raised his right hand horizontally. Eight Glimrs of light erged near his palm, quickly forming into long bars and extending like blades. A mont later, eight sniper rifles, glowing with white light, barrels inscribed with golden prayers, crafted entirely from snow-white crystal yet engraved with flas, surrounded Zhao Zili in an octagon. They spun endlessly around his hand, the dazzling light from the guns drawing the gaze of the tourists below.
"There's soone on top of the Drop Tower!"
"It's... It's Priest Zhao Zili!"
"The Holy Spirit Priest has co to save us!"
Although Zhao Zili had previously revealed to the Mysterious Country that he was actually an undercover agent of the Fairy Palace and had witnessed the Handso Monkey King unlocking the Federal Spiritual Repository, the Mysterious Country had not publicized the relationship between Zhao Zili and the Fairy Palace. They even downplayed the connection, intentionally or unintentionally. Thus, everyone's first impression of Zhao Zili was: This fatty is the only toy beloved by the three deities.
Since Ren Suo didn't want to waste summonable ti, Zhao Zili had to quickly heal the group with serious injuries, after which Ren Suo would give him 30 seconds to run to the restaurant to pack food. So Zhao Zili took out his strongest preparation to date—the Three Gods Gun!
The salvation rifle summoned by Zhao Zili possessed the top healing abilities bestowed by the Lord of Billion Brilliance, the automatic navigation capability inscribed by the Eternal Burning Heart, and the endless magazine of Holy Bullets granted by the Monarch of Wind, Rain, and Snow. It could provide long-range healing and, at close range, could fire an endless barrage of Holy Bullets like a typewriter pounding out a torrential hailstorm. It was the pinnacle of healing weaponry forged by the Three Gods based on modern firearms.
During his ti in the Divine Kingdom, Zhao Zili hadn't been idle either. Apart from serving as a laborer for the Three Gods, he had also mastered an essential ability of a Priest—multitasking. After all, he was the one listening to the followers' prayers and the one answering them. As the number of Earth's Three Gods' followers gradually increased, a single-core processor obviously could no longer et the demands of the Three Gods. Hence, Zhao Zili had now evolved into an eight-core processor, so multi-threaded listening to followers' prayers was not an issue at all.
This multi-threading capability, when applied in actual combat, translated into the ability to control various healing devices—Endless rcy Gatling was already outdated; it was now the era of the Eight Heavenly Dragons Three Gods Gun!
Suddenly, the sky flashed radiantly as a storm of Holy Bullets rained down with precision upon all injured visitors like a violent squall! Those with severed limbs were restored, those with major blood loss were replenished, and the injured healed as if new, even inadvertently curing the visitors' hidden ailnts, neck pain, tendonitis, and more.
The loud and friendly voice of the chubby Priest reverberated through Joyous World, "In the na of the great existence of divine and rciful love, in the na of the Lord of Billion Brilliance, Eternal Burning Heart, and Monarch of Wind, Rain, and Snow, I bestow upon you divine grace as a sign of Heaven's favor!"
At the sa ti, a gentle Holy Sound, as if sung by a choir of a hundred thousand troubadours, washed over the souls of all visitors like a spring breeze, quickly calming them from their panic and fear and preventing further stampedes.
In addition to changes in equipnt and capabilities, Zhao Zili's pomp had also been reinforced. Now when he healed, not only did he have to say, 'You all should thank my boss,' but he also brought along a Holy Sound BGM that could spread across a hundred ters, essentially making him a human proselytizing device. He was only short of saying, 'The Three Gods Church: pure faith, high benefits, check us out!'
However, after settling the situation, he withdrew the divine light and jumped down, heading towards the restaurant to 'raid' it for food. But Zhao Zili had only taken a few steps when he turned his head to look towards the amusent facility that had caught fire from the car explosion. The flas were transforming as they ascended. There's a Source of Disaster! Overti pay: 10 seconds! Zhao Zili imdiately thought.
Get it done! Ren Suo urged.
anwhile, Ren Suo and the others were comforting the unsettled injured visitors. Sun Shu, looking at the top of the now dark Drop Tower, said, "I didn't expect the Holy Spirit Priest to actually show up..."
Lin Xianyu said, "It's normal. The Holy Spirit Priest always appears now and then performing miracles. It's not surprising he suddenly showed up here to save people!"
Zhao Zili indeed had always been fulfilling the wishes of praying followers from ti to ti, such as healing their diseases, for instance. However, only those who were truly devout might catch Zhao Zili's attention, and even then, the number was very limited each day. But The Three Gods' Church had always remained sowhat obscure—they didn't even have a mortal realm priest, and it was hard to expand relying purely on the devotion of its followers. So ambitious individuals even exploited the na of The Three Gods' Church to preach their own beliefs, and followers misled into cults naturally wouldn't receive a response. Thus, information about The Three Gods' Church had never been widely circulated, and Ren Suo had only seen so of it on the internal network.
Ren Suo, who was checking the body of an old man whose chest had been blown open by the Skeleton Man's punch just a mont ago, turned his curious gaze towards Lin Xianyu and asked, "How do you know about the Holy Spirit Priest?"
"I've been praying to the Three Gods all along!"
Ren Suo was stunned for a mont, and Ren Xingi also looked at Lin Xianyu with surprise, asking, "Are you a follower of the Three Gods?"
"Sort of. I pray to the Three Gods every day to let continue to develop," Lin Xianyu said with a touch of depression as she felt her chest, then said to Ren Xingi, "Little Star, why don't you pray as well?"
"Ah? ..." Ren Xingi's face darkened. Lin Xianyu at least had so curves, whereas she, to use Ren Suo's words, was too flat to even be a decent pillow.
"I don't need it!" Ren Xingi firmly denied having such expectations.
Ren Suo looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you don't need it?"
"I don't!" Ren Xingi covered her chest with her hands, her face blushing as she said, "Am I not good enough like this? If they were bigger, it would just make my shoulders sore!"
That's true enough... Ren Suo nodded, acknowledging his sister's point. He had originally planned to ask Zhao Zili to check if there was any healthy breast enhancent miracle, but since his sister said larger breasts would make her shoulders sore, he decided to forget about it.
Because of Zhao Zili's appearance, along with the Holy Sound BGM he brought, everyone's spirits slightly relaxed, and most of the injured were instantly healed, as if what just happened was rely a thrilling performance.
"Ren Suo!"
Gu Yueyan hurried over with a little girl in her arms. The girl was wearing a skirt and sported rosy devilish makeup on her face, along with white stockings on her legs, looking dainty and adorable. However, she was crying rivers of tears, and it looked like her knee had been cut. Gu Yueyan gently squatted down holding her and anxiously said, "She seems to have been scraped by a piece of ice, and it hurts so much she can't walk…"
Although Bai Ji created an Ice Wall to block the burning car and undoubtedly prevented more severe casualties, the shattering ice also caused many minor injuries. But those were just minor injuries. They had quickly scattered and fled, and Zhao Zili hadn't bothered with them. If they can walk a few steps, they're surely fine, he'd reasoned. The little girl hadn't gotten far when Gu Yueyan saw her and picked her up.
Ren Suo quickly used Pain-Relieving Therapy on the little girl. Her face, rubbed raw from crying with her little fists, soon stopped her tears—only to start crying loudly again, "Mommy—Niuniu is so scared—"
Zhao Huo, standing by, burst out laughing, "You scared the little kid."
Ren Suo tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Am I that scary?"
Ren Xingi squatted down and said with a smile, "Brother, it's the makeup on your face that scared her."
Suddenly, the round badge hanging around the little girl's neck lit up with multicolored lights and began to beep. The girl imdiately picked it up, pressed the heart-shaped emblem, and stuttered, "Mommy, Mommy, where are you?"
Is this a phone? Ren Suo was astonished. Are today's phones this weird? But such a phone is actually perfect for kids. It doubles as an accessory and doesn't have internet capabilities, so there's no worry about them playing with it constantly.
But the little girl was crying and making a fuss, blowing bubbles with her snot, and her speech was so broken that she couldn't explain her current situation. So Ren Suo simply snatched the badge phone and said, "Ma'am, your daughter is with right now…"
Suddenly, Ren Suo felt a chill run down his spine. It feels like I'm recklessly testing the boundaries of the law...
Soon, the parents, who had been separated from their daughter amidst the surging crowd, quickly ran over to retrieve her, thanking Ren Suo and the others profusely.
When the other visitors cald down and realized everything seed to be fine, and with a Holy Spirit Priest appearing to treat the wounded, they all returned to the scene to check out the situation. Those with minor injuries gradually ca to Ren Suo for treatnt, and other tourists who had narrowly escaped death also wanted Ren Suo to check them over before they felt safe. Therefore, Gu Yueyan and the other girls temporarily beca Ren Suo's nurses, while Zhao Huo was in charge of maintaining order, beginning the amusent park's impromptu free clinic.
After the amusent park staff arrived and continuously apologized to the visitors, a female manager approached Ren Suo and his group to express her gratitude, "We really appreciate your assistance. If not for your intervention, the casualties could have been much worse... Are you Cultivators from the Tactical Bureau?"
As Ren Suo was treating a young man whose arm was impaled by a fragnt of the exploded car and couldn't answer, Gu Yueyan, who was using a wet cloth to wipe Ren Suo's sweat, turned and said, "We are teachers and students from Heavenly Lotus Academy."
"Then... could it be that the one who went after the criminal was Heavenly Lotus Bai Ji!?" The female manager seed to be a fan of Bai Ji, as she spoke with a hint of excitent.
After removing the piece of car tal and using Pain-Relieving Therapy and Surgical Thread to stitch up the wound, Ren Suo took a mont to glance at the female manager. You're almost forty, yet Bai Ji really is the kind of super hunk who captivates everyone from eight to eighty.
"Excuse , Cultivator, could you please check my son?" a woman pleaded, approaching with a little boy in her arms. "That bastard struck him down. Although the Priest healed him, could there be any lingering effects?"
Ren Suo looked at the little boy, who wasn't crying, only looking a bit shy because his clothes on the left side of his waist had been torn, exposing his fair little belly—a shy Little Fatty indeed.
Although Zhao Zili's treatnt ca with a 3S (Three Gods) guarantee, Ren Suo still checked them over carefully. A 'peace of mind guarantee' from a Healing Cultivator can at least offer them additional reassurance, he thought.
The woman saw the female manager next to Ren Suo and imdiately began to accuse loudly, "What's going on with your Joyous World!? Why would there be such a lunatic killing and setting fires here? How will you compensate us!?"
"Yeah, that man was one of your employees, wasn't he!?"
"That car almost landed on my girlfriend and !"
"He smashed my kidney! If it weren't for..."
The anger of the tourists flared once again, as they collectively began to accuse the female manager and other staff mbers representing the amusent park. It's not hard to understand why. If it hadn't been for Bai Ji's intervention and Zhao Zili's healing just now, many people might have been injured or killed—countless parents would lose their children, countless lovers would lose their partners... And those who had been seriously injured by the Skeleton Man were genuinely hurt. Even though Zhao Zili healed them, the mory of the pain would likely disturb their sleep for days to co—not everyone could easily forget the experience of being practically disemboweled without anesthesia.
After the initial shock wore off, they naturally needed to vent their fear, and the amusent park, which had to bear responsibility, beca their primary target. The surrounded female manager quickly offered so comforting words and promised adequate compensation, which slightly lowered the volu of the tourists' accusations.
Then she said, "As for the assailant who carried out the violent acts, it's true that he was one of our park employees. He has been working here for almost five years, always diligent and punctual, and he has never had any complaints... I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility. You have to understand, as a supervisor here, I saw him almost every morning and evening. When I found out what he did, I was more terrified than any of you. But really, truly, he had always been a normal employee with no prior record. We had no way to prevent this. I hope everyone can understand our situation. We are victims too, and we will definitely compensate you as much as possible!"
The female manager's sincere speech sowhat appeased the tourists' anger. Soone asked, "Is that jerk really doing this for the first ti?"
"Absolutely!" The female manager looked like she wanted to raise three fingers and swear. "He had always been a very ordinary employee and had never shown the strength to move a car. He was even a rather reclusive and timid person. We can't think of any reason why he would do such a thing. Maybe... maybe soone put him up to it!"
The other staff mbers also affird this guess, "He must have been instigated, right?" "He has no reason to do such a thing!" "He must have been bought out by soone!"
At this point, Zhao Huo said, "Don't worry, everyone, Heavenly Lotus Bai Ji has gone after the perpetrator, and he'll soon give everyone an explanation!"
"Heavenly Lotus Bai Ji!?"
"Ice Wall!... So it was him!"
"That's great! Thank goodness Bai Ji was here, and the Holy Spirit Priest appeared too! It's a blessing in disguise!"
If the Holy Spirit Priest, Zhao Zili, wasn't enough to reassure the tourists, then Bai Ji—once a soldier of the people and now a "gardener of the nation's flowers" (his impressive resu had long been circulating online)—certainly did. That was the Bai Ji who had fought side-by-side with Fairy Palace Assassins and was known on the internet as the 'Emperor of Ice'! With him on the case, that criminal surely couldn't escape!
Noticing the change in the tourists' mood, Ren Suo thought, Ren Naiser's video influence is truly imnse. Bai Ji only had to appear in one of her videos to beco a national idol. Of course, Bai Ji's good looks undoubtedly played a huge part. If not, why would Mr. Chuan, who also appeared in Ren Naiser's videos, rank lower than the Federal Undertakers' 'Aurora Roy' in the GILIGILI popularity vote? Wasn't it just because Mr. Chuan was wrapped up like a mummy and, judging by his figure, was probably a bit chubby?
At that mont, Ren Suo noticed that Zhao Zili had already dealt with the Source of Disaster and, after raiding the restaurant, had returned to the Divine Kingdom. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted the little boy's belly, and said, "He's all right, but you should still get him changed into warm clothes quickly. It's quite cold in Lianjiang in November; it wouldn't be good if his stomach gets cold."
The woman thanked him profusely, and as she walked away, she gritted her teeth and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a crazy freak here..."
The middle-aged man queuing behind said, "Didn't they say that the freak was instigated by soone?"
"Whether it's the freak himself or the bastards who put him up to it, they all deserve to be fried in oil, skinned, and have their bones broken! Dying ten thousand tis wouldn't be enough!" the woman yelled angrily.
"Save your breath, Ma'am. Cursing him won't make him lose any flesh. Just take your son and hurry to buy clothes," soone said with a laugh.
The woman hurriedly took off her coat and put it on the little boy, then angrily responded, "Even if it's useless, I still have to curse! What if it actually works?"
