Chapter 170 Smoothly unfolded
The space of Tezuka Village.

Library reading area.

Tong Xin sat in the corner by the window. A thick book was spread out on the desk in front of her, and next to it was an open notebook.

His eyes were fixed on the contents of the book, and the pen in his hand was constantly recording key points in the notebook.

When he encountered obscure passages, he would read them over and over again, breaking down and digesting every word, immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge.

The first step of the plan has been successful.

Through the eagle-headed demon's perception image, while An Sui was observing them, they were also observing the changes in An Sui's expression.

He had successfully implanted curiosity and shock into Darksui's body.

But this is only the first step in establishing faith. Next, he needs to build a complete belief system.

After staying up late to study until 3 a.m., Tong Xin stretched out his arms.

Summoning the star vein panel, there is an additional soul made up of golden runes on the fourth star vein slot: Godhead.

The consciousness touches the Godhead, and a detailed faith panel pops up:

【godhead】:
Followers: 0
Output of power of faith per hour: 0 (the output of power of faith is affected by the piety of the believer and his own strength. The stronger the believer, the more power of faith he will produce. The more pious the believer, the more power of faith he will produce.)
Possessing the power of faith: 0
Faith Level:

Initiator (Level 1): In the boundless ocean of faith, they are like explorers who have just arrived at the shore. Just touching the ripples of the power of faith, the faint light of faith is like a candle swaying in the wind, barely outlining the outline of faith. They try to follow the vague guidance of God, groping for the direction to move forward in the fog of doubt and confusion. Every step is full of temptation and uncertainty, but that trace of yearning for faith is the only anchor they hold on to in the chaos.

The Devotee (Level 2): ​​The flame of faith takes root in their hearts and they join the ranks of the Devotees. Their belief has turned into a blazing bonfire, dispelling the confusion and doubts in their hearts. They have a deeper understanding of the faith in God, just like a traveler who finds clues after going deep into a maze. Every doctrine promulgated by God will become the key to their understanding of the world and themselves.

Martyr (Level 3): The power of faith is extremely manifested. Their belief is like a star that never goes out, and it is the whole meaning of life. They are willing to give up everything for their faith, even their own life. They face problems with fearless courage and defend the purity and dignity of their faith with blood and sacrifice.

Holy Enlighteners (Level 4): Beyond the self-sacrifice of martyrs, they are not only staunch followers of the gods of faith, but also enlighteners and sublimators of faith. They are willing to preach for the gods of faith, eager for the light of the gods of faith to spread to every corner of the world, and lead all living beings to a higher level of faith through precepts and deeds.

Constant Tao (Level 5): They are one with their faith, coexisting harmoniously with the natural laws of the world.

Divine abilities:

Faith Connection (Special Soul Ability): After being released, it can establish a consciousness connection with believers and communicate across distances. When used on the target for the first time, it can establish a bridge of faith. If the target has no faith, the connection cannot produce the power of faith.

……

The divine soul comes with a special skill called "Faith Connection".

This ability is very similar to team mode.

After releasing it to the other party, a spiritual connection can be established, but if the other party has no faith, this connection state can be easily broken away from.

Only by connecting with believers can we continuously draw on the power of faith catalyzed by time.

In Tong Xin's opinion, this is very similar to the "fighting spirit" rules mastered by the ancient gods.

Fighting spirit is the power produced through the behavioral logic of fighting between two parties.

The divine soul establishes a faith connection with believers and obtains a continuous output of faith power.

After reviewing the characteristics and effects of the divine soul again, Tong Xin decided to start the next plan, trying to contact the Dark Broken and tell a good story of faith.

A sense of mystery, anticipation, and security... He will build a faith story for Darksui around these three core elements.

But before that, he had one more thing to do.

I had talked with Heiye for a long time before. Heiye thought that his clothes were too simple and he needed to upgrade his weapons.

Since you are traveling the world in the name of God's messenger, you have to come up with some characteristics that are different from other players.

To put it simply: you have to have some class.

People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold.

The miracle ritual at that time was very far away from him.

But if it is a close contact, it has to make An Sui feel bright.

When he arrived at the armed vehicle factory, he began to update his armed vehicles, replacing low-level armed modules with high-level armed modules.

But not a complete replacement.

An advanced weapon module requires the fusion of 10 intermediate weapon modules, and 10 intermediate weapon modules require the fusion of 10 low-level weapon modules.

The price of an advanced weapon module is 1000 points of ritual power.

The high price allowed him to replace only part of the weapon, mainly the surface display areas.

As for the selection of weapon template, he had already spent 200 points of sacrifice power to have it done by an weapon designer on the forum, so it could be used directly. He also made it clear that this set of templates would not be shared on the forum, ensuring that only he would use it at this stage.

After spending 40,000 sacrificial powers, the image of a divine messenger appeared in front of Tong Xin.

The main body of this divine messenger outfit is a long robe with starry sky color as the base tone. It is light in texture, with a dreamy halo flowing on the surface and dotted with stars, like the twinkling stars in the night sky dancing in the clothes.

The collar is inlaid with a circle of light blue gems condensed from frost and snow, which is crystal clear.

The sleeves flow like clouds, and the cuffs are embroidered with golden cloud patterns, highlighting the holy spirit.

As for accessories, she wore a shawl made of pure light on her shoulders, which looked like two agile wings, emitting a soft glow and adding a touch of sacredness.

When testing the wearable device in a simulated scenario, a light mirror will appear in front of you.

His robe in the mirror was like lively starlight, falling naturally along his body. The collar was made of frosty gemstones, just like the stars in a cold night, casting a cool glow on his neck. The golden cloud patterns on the cuffs appeared and disappeared with his breathing, flickering.

Tong Xin leans slightly to the side, and her shawl moves like wings of light, contrasting with the dreamy colors flowing on her robe.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the belt around his waist with the vast nebula embedded in it, and the bright light danced on his fingertips.

Staring at himself in the mirror, the corners of Tongxin's mouth unconsciously raised:

"As expected of me, I'm still so handsome!"

After looking at himself for a long time, Tong Xin nodded with satisfaction.

The original template also included a crown of a messenger of God inlaid with several dazzling gems.

However, due to limited financial resources, the spending on advanced weapon modules is really unaffordable, so some of the gorgeous accessories were simply cancelled.

This set of God's Messenger Clothing can significantly highlight his personality when he comes into contact with the Dark Crusher.

Next is the time for storytelling.

He decided to set out for the Colorful Mist Coast area right away and try to make initial contact with the Dark Shatter.

As long as he tells a good story, he doesn't even need an invitation, and An Sui will come to him on his own initiative.

The main purpose of the story is not to make the Dark Broken feel that their playing family is very strong, but to make the Dark Broken subtly feel that as long as they can become believers, they can get protection.

During this process, he cannot take the initiative to invite.

They even increase the difficulty of becoming a believer and design a series of tests for the Dark Crusher.

After all, things that are too easy to obtain are difficult to be valued.

Only what is obtained through hard work and overcoming numerous obstacles will be especially cherished.

Secondly, Tongxin has made plans.

If he succeeds, he will return some of the power of faith to resurrect the Darkin warriors or even strengthen their strength.

With this stable output of "God's gift", the faith of the Darkin warriors will become more firm.

Before leaving the Tezuka Village space, Tongxin rehearsed alone for several hours before heading to the Colorful Mist Coast.

……

After 2 hours.

Deep in the dense forest of the Colorful Mist Coast.

Tong Xin walked alone on the road to the Evil Moon Realm, waiting for Ansui's active contact.

If you don't make contact, go again.

As he walked slowly forward, a blood shadow emerged from the front, rising like a fountain and finally condensing into a dark and fragmented figure.

The childish innocence stopped and he looked at the shattered body with an indifferent expression, but he was actually ecstatic inside.

The script did not deviate from the original plan, and Ansui had indeed begun to think about surrendering.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could express his thoughts, An Sui took the initiative to speak:

"God's messenger, I want to become a subsidiary force of the Wan family."

Hearing this, Tong Xin was stunned, not understanding why the progress suddenly accelerated.

But he still spoke in a cold voice:

"Are you worthy?"

This insulting question did not make An Sui feel dissatisfied. He said solemnly:

"I have not yet recovered to my peak, and I am not as weak as you Wan Clan imagine. I can prove my worth to you."

At this moment, a voice came from the voice channel. Tong Xin was silent for a moment and then raised his right hand towards An Sui. Seeing this, An Sui subconsciously took a step back, but eventually returned to his original position, wondering what the God's messenger of the Wan Clan was going to do.

The blood anti-ability was activated at this time, and Tong Xin's body was covered with a layer of blood.

"What are you doing?" An Sui couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tong Xin smiled and shook her head:

"The Dark Legion, the reincarnation system, can reshape life by injecting consciousness, and you are a branch commander of the Dark Legion. Is this the value you want to tell me?"

Hearing Tong Xin calmly telling the secret between him and the Darkin Legion, An Sui was stunned.

"You...how do you know?"

"There are no secrets in front of me. Although I am just a projection of my true self now, I can read the information of all things through the ability bestowed by the Emperor's Omen God."

As he spoke, Tong Xin stretched out his hand and grabbed forward, as if he had caught something:
"This is a timeline connected to you. All the information from your birth to the present is recorded on it. You have no secrets in front of me."

As he spoke, the divine messenger clothes on Tong Xin's body gleamed with a faint light, making him look particularly sacred.

At this time, the players in the live broadcast room and the players who provided off-site support were all laughing:
"Next, please let the judges in the live broadcast room announce the scores."

"I give it full marks. You are really willing to spend money. This set of advanced modular plating weapons must cost tens of thousands of dollars."

"Hahaha, I give him full marks too. He's not pretending to be cool, he's pretending to be a god. He's patching up his own weaknesses. He's a projection of a god, not his real self."

"Full marks. You can tell at a glance that he was well prepared. He must have consulted the guide for a lot of information about the Dark Crusher. This is not just pretending. This is an artistic feast. It's beautiful, I love watching it, and it goes well with rice."

"I burst out laughing while eating spiritual food on the beach. Looking at An Sui's expression, he was obviously shocked. I think he wanted to kneel down in his heart."

The facts were just as expected by netizens in the live broadcast room.

Tong Xin spoke about the Darkin Legion and his secrets in a relaxed and easy manner, which shocked Darksui into disbelief.

The secret of the cycle of death cannot be known to outsiders except the Darkin warriors.

The preferred innate ability of every darkin warrior is the ability to seal memories, which can disrupt memories when disturbed by external forces not imposed by oneself.

Secondly, it takes ten years for each Darkin warrior to reincarnate and resurrect. The outside world has already changed drastically, even the enemies have changed.

Due to various restrictions, the secrets of the Darkin Legion have never been exposed.

But this secret was easily mastered by the gods of the Wan family.

Infinite resurrection, information reading...what a powerful ability.

At this moment, the image of God's messenger in Ansui's eyes was infinitely elevated, and a strong desire arose in his heart.

If they could become a subordinate force of the Wan Clan and establish a subordinate relationship with this God's messenger, then the development of the Darkin Legion would be guaranteed.

He must seize this opportunity!

"So, do you have any other value that I don't know about?" Tong Xin asked with a smile. Although there was no contempt in his eyes, his words revealed his disdain for Ansui.

An Sui opened her mouth and her face turned red, but she didn't know what to say.

He originally thought that the Wan family's contempt for him was due to his current weak strength.

But now he is just in a weak state and has not yet recovered his peak strength. As long as he explains his growth potential, the players' views of him will change.

If this still cannot gain the Wan family's approval, he even plans to reveal the secret of his reincarnation.

Dark Star has made it very clear. There are many powerful tribes in the monster world. The reincarnation ability that the Dark Clan once prided themselves on is far behind the rules controlled by super powers such as the Black Tide.

Even many superpowers play their cards openly, relying on their overwhelming strength to overwhelm others.

So he planned to use this secret as a bargaining chip to increase his value in the eyes of the Wan family.

But now Tong Xin had already told his secret in advance, and he suddenly found that he didn't know what to say.

"I... I want to lead my people to get the protection of the Wan family." An Sui said with a red face. At this time, apart from his sincerity, he found that he had no bargaining chips to raise the price.

Tong Xin nodded calmly:

"My tribesmen told me that you have been helping them hunt recently. I can see that you really want our protection."

"Yes, I encountered a series of difficulties after coming to this world. Now I have nowhere else to go, so I want to seek refuge with a powerful clan with a deep foundation and get protection."

Ansui did not hide his true feelings this time and spoke frankly about his inner thoughts.

He knew that he had no secrets in front of this envoy of the Wan family, and hiding his thoughts would only make him look particularly stupid.

"You are too weak."

"I can become stronger!" He was called weak again, but the difference was that Ansui's mentality had changed.

He felt that with the ability of a messenger of God, it was true that he was weak.

"I believe in the God of Omens, the origin of all things. You are not worthy of being a believer of the God of Omens, even at your peak."

Despite being rejected repeatedly, An Sui still had no intention of giving up:
"As long as I can be of use, I will do my best, as long as I can get the blessing of the Wan family."

Tong Xin did not agree directly, but asked curiously:
"How much do you know about our playing family?"

"I don't know, but I know that the Wan family has a deep foundation and is powerful enough to fight against the terrifying black tide."

"You don't even understand our Wan Clan, and you just think we are strong enough and want to become our subordinate force. This decision is too hasty. Besides, you are worthless to our Wan Clan."

Being rejected again, I felt depressed.

But Tong Xin changed the subject:
"If you want to become a believer of Emperor Omen like our Wan family... you, including your Darkin Legion, are not qualified, but I can give you a chance to prove yourself. If you can pass my assessment, I can let your Darkin become a subsidiary of my family, become my believer, and receive our protection."

An Sui, who thought he had no chance at all, heard this, but his eyes lit up and he nodded decisively:
"God's messenger, please give us your orders. We are willing to become your believers."

Realizing that the point of storytelling had been reached, Tong Xin decided to postpone the development of the story this time.

It is better to establish faith first and then strengthen the faith relationship through stories.

After saying that, Tong Xin raised his hand and released the characteristics of his divinity towards An Sui.

Ansui suddenly felt a ball of energy rushing into his body. Subconsciously, he wanted to expel this external force from his body, but he suppressed the thought and allowed the energy to enter his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness and automatically draw its shape.

Not long after, a golden mark appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, relevant information emerged in Tongxin's mind.

[Dark Crusher (Darkborn)]:
Hunting Level: 74
Faith Level: 0 (Awe)
Faith Power Output per Hour: 0
……

Through the information provided by the Godhead, it can be found that at this time, An Sui only has awe for him, but has not yet reached the point of becoming a believer.

This needs to be deepened through subsequent stories and assessments.

The difficult tests are meant to inspire awe in Ansui. The more difficult it is, the more he should cherish it.

Facing An Sui's question, Tong Xin mentioned the first assessment item that he had already planned:

"The first assessment item is very simple. I need you and your people to provide me with a satisfactory set of spiritual resources."

Hearing this, An Sui was stunned for a moment, then asked decisively:
"God's messenger, how much spiritual resources do you need to be satisfied?"

"It depends on your sincerity. I will come here in three days. How much I can provide will depend on your performance."

This first assessment, which directly asks for resources, may seem to lower one's standards, but it is actually a well-considered decision.

First of all, the initial cost investment was too high, and the sacrificial power collected for the original reward had been used up, so he had to recover some of the cost.

Secondly, in Ansui's eyes, the Wan family is endlessly greedy for resources, which is in line with the setting of the Wan family.

Just like the dragon’s desire for wealth in many myths, it can be understood as a character trait, not because wealth itself can create any value.

He must have settings that are consistent with the behavior of the game family, rather than being different from other players in all aspects, which can easily cause cognitive bias in the dark and create confusion.

"Okay, I will do my best!" An Sui nodded vigorously at this time.

Just as Tong Xin thought, An Sui thought of the Wan family's greed for resources and wealth.

I feel that the messenger of God is obviously also very interested in the resources. This is his chance to prove his own worth and he must not miss it.

"God's messenger, I'll go get ready now."

As he spoke, An Sui looked up at Tong Xin.

"Go."

Tong Xin's voice rang directly in An Sui's mind, shocking him while a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

Although the messenger of God is just a projection, he can communicate with him mentally through the air. He is indeed very powerful!

After Ansui left, Tongxin glanced at the lively live broadcast room with a smug expression:

"It's just a secret crush, grasp it!"

"What do you mean by exploitation? I'm almost broke, how can I call it exploitation to just get back some of my costs?"
