Zhang Chen looked at Mo Ran.
The energy flowing out of the Earth Spider Mother's body, the moment it converged into Mo Ran's energy core.
A line of prompts slowly rose beside her, and she had gained a new ability.
【Guard Summoning】: The Spider Queen can summon highly defensive Earth Spider Guards for defense, and also possesses the ability to genetically modify Earth Spiders.
Mo Ran had become stronger again!
After she subdued the Earth Spider clan, her entire demeanor seemed to have changed slightly.
Her previous lazy and arrogant posture now held more confidence and composure.
Her gaze was also steadier.
"Dad, we're done with our business, we can leave now!"
Mo Ran said with a smile, looking at Zhang Chen.
"Okay, then... let's travel by your Roid! That way we can move faster!"
Zhang Chen said casually.
"Roid? What is that?"
"Although this is the first time I've heard this name, it feels very familiar... very warm..."
Mo Ran paused and said slowly.
"Uh... Roid is the name of this big spider, do you like it?"
Zhang Chen just remembered that although Roid was Mo Ran's most beloved stuffed toy's name before, her memories had been wiped clean after she was reborn, and she remembered nothing.
"Yes! This name sounds good, then we'll call it Roid from now on!"
Mo Ran said, clapping her hands with a smile.
"Now it's yours, make it lie down so we can get on!"
Zhang Chen said, gently stroking Mo Ran's dark hair.
"Okay, I'll try!"
"Roid, I am your master Mo Ran, we need to get on!"
Mo Ran shouted loudly from below.
"Wuuu~ Buzz buzz..."
Roid let out a sound, and the entire mountain range was shaken by this huge sound, echoing incessantly.
Then, a web-like silk thread descended from above, slowly stopping in front of Zhang Chen and Mo Ran.
Mo Ran was accustomed to walking and resting on the silk threads.
But this was Zhang Chen's first time riding a "lift" made of spider silk, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Goo goo... Ji ji ji..."
The Earth Spider Mother took a few steps forward with a group of young spiders, seemingly wanting to follow Mo Ran.
Mo Ran looked back, gently waved her hand, and said calmly:
"You guys can stay here. If there's anything, I'll call you!"
"Goo goo goo... Ji ji..."
The Earth Spider Mother lowered its body, bringing its head close to the ground, showing submission and deference.
The other Earth Spiders did the same.
It was like a group of subjects paying homage to their monarch!
Under the watchful eyes of a group of ferocious Earth Spiders with their compound eyes, Zhang Chen and Mo Ran slowly ascended to Roid's back, riding the web silk "lift."
As soon as they got on its back, Mo Ran couldn't wait to run towards Roid's large head.
Sitting next to its huge compound eyes, she seemed to be introducing herself to Roid.
Zhang Chen smiled and looked around.
Soon, he spotted the familiar library and the surrounding streets.
This was the most bizarre misty city Zhang Chen had encountered since arriving at the interface city.
So it left a very deep impression.
Seeing it again now, he felt a sense of reunion.
Zhang Chen walked along the street for a while.
Suddenly, a group of True God Cult followers, dressed in dark red hoods, emerged from all around.
Upon seeing Zhang Chen, they immediately prostrated themselves devoutly.
Some young followers, although their heads were bowed low, couldn't help but sneak glances at Zhang Chen.
After all, an opportunity to see the reincarnation of a true god was not something that happened every day.
In a short while, more than a dozen richly dressed followers walked out quickly with their heads bowed.
They also wore dark red hoods, but the material and craftsmanship were clearly superior to those of other followers, and they were embroidered with golden patterns.
At a glance, they were high-ranking members of the church.
"Zhang Wenwen, Branch Leader of the True God Cult; Xiao Guanghan, Church Councilor; Church Protectors Han Shuang, Fan Yiyi; Saintess Su Xue..."
Zhang Wenwen led the way, introducing the names and positions of the people behind her one by one.
After finishing, they all respectfully bowed before Zhang Chen.
"Oh my, we're all old acquaintances, no need to be so formal?!"
Zhang Chen said with a chuckle, helping Zhang Wenwen and Xiao Guanghan to their feet.
Only then did the others stand up in order.
"Hmm? Stage 1 Advanced Transcender? You're quite strong!"
Zhang Chen subconsciously glanced at Zhang Wenwen's level, and she had actually advanced to Advanced Transcender.
In fact, most of the survivors killed by the church were absorbed by Zhang Wenwen.
Therefore, her leveling speed was very fast.
Coupled with the continuous stream of survivors arriving at the interface city, seeking refuge within the high walls.
Zhang Wenwen took the opportunity to expand the scale of the True God Cult.
The rules of entry were simple: join the True God Cult.
Those who obeyed were kept, and those who disobeyed would not be wasted.
They would be killed and their energy absorbed.
Thus, Zhang Wenwen's leveling speed was very fast.
Since upgrading further as an Advanced Transcender required [Super Convergence Crystal Core], she distributed all the surplus [Energy Convergence Crystal Cores] to her subordinates.
At this moment, the core members of the church were basically at Stage 2 Intermediate Transcender or above.
Protectors Han Shuang and Fan Yiyi had their strength boosted to Stage 3 Intermediate Transcender, one step away from becoming powerful Advanced Transcenders.
"It's wonderful to see the True God again!"
Zhang Wenwen said with her head bowed, her face flushed.
"Yes, I'm also very happy that you are alive!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"True God, your strength is becoming increasingly formidable. That punch you just landed on the giant spider caused the entire city to tremble!"
"An old building directly collapsed, the power is truly astonishing!"
"Only a god can possess such immense power!"
Xiao Guanghan praised sincerely.
"Professor Xiao, you can just call me by my name as you did before. Calling me True God feels so awkward!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"How can that be? It was my ignorance before, failing to realize the existence of the True God, and still thinking with outdated ideas!"
"Now, guided by the Cult Leader, I have gained a new understanding of this world and believe that you can surely lead us to survive in the apocalypse, and even end it!"
Xiao Guanghan said with a serious expression.
"Mmm..."
Zhang Chen felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
It seemed Zhang Wenwen had brainwashed Xiao Guanghan thoroughly; he was now a devout follower.
Fan Yiyi and Han Shuang also greeted Zhang Chen.
When it came to Saintess Su Xue, she softly uttered "True God" and said no more.
However, her bright eyes were constantly following Zhang Chen's every move.
