Zhang Chen continued to practice energy construction, preparing to restore other high-level black market merchants like Qian Xin Xin and Wang Zi Hao.
At this moment, Zhang Wenwen walked over excitedly, followed by a group of survivors wearing dark red rings.
"Greetings, True God. These previous轮回者 wish to join the True God Cult, but we have no precedent for accepting survivors with different colored rings... so I wish to ask for your guidance..."
As soon as Zhang Wenwen finished speaking, the large group behind her immediately bowed to Zhang Chen and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, True God!"
Because Zhang Chen had previously issued an order that bowing was sufficient, otherwise they would have already knelt.
Facing Zhang Chen, whose strength was terrifyingly abnormal, kneeling was not shameful; in fact, it was willingly done.
"Anyone who sincerely wishes to join can be accepted, but their character and attitude must be thoroughly vetted!" Zhang Chen instructed.
"Understood, True God. Our church will absolutely not allow anyone with impure intentions or unfaithful beliefs to appear!" Zhang Wenwen guaranteed, puffing out her chest.
Just then, they heard the group of prospective believers behind her pointing and commenting on Qian Lao Da and the others, who had not yet fully recovered. Many of these prospective believers were actually former black market merchants.
"Hey, hey, why are Qian Lao Da and the others still lying down?"
"Didn't the True God cast a spell for us to get up together? Why were they the only ones left behind?"
"Yeah, I got up at the same time as the people around me. I was silently thinking of joining the True God Cult then!"
"That's right, I was also silently thinking of joining the True God Cult at that time, which is why I can move freely."
"So... could it be that Qian Lao Da and the others were not sincere in their hearts and still doubted the existence of the gods, and that's why the gods punished them?"
"There's a possibility. Otherwise, why are only the Soul Organization, the Black Bull Legion, and these few people still in this state?"
"Fortunately, we believed in the True God. In the future, we must properly persuade Qian Lao Da and the others. After all, they treated us pretty well. We can't let them stray further down the wrong path!"
"Exactly. In this apocalypse, only by believing in the True God can we receive blessings..."
In just a few short minutes, the crowd, chattering amongst themselves, had been successfully brainwashed by Zhang Wenwen.
"Alright, let's all head back. Only those who pass the examination can join the True God Cult. I hope you all work hard and uphold your original intentions!" Zhang Wenwen said softly.
The people around responded and then dispersed.
Zhang Chen concentrated on his construction for another half hour, and then Qian Xin Xin, Wang Zi Hao, and the others slowly stood up.
[Ding! Your divine power experience has increased! Current Divine Power Control Level 1, 30/500!]
Good, a little more experience gained! Zhang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead with a gratified expression.
"This man..." Qian Xin Xin gazed at Zhang Chen for a moment, then resolutely turned and walked towards the hotel lobby. Just as she was about to enter, she couldn't help but glance back at Zhang Chen from the corner of her eye, only to find that he had already disappeared! This caused a slight sense of loss in her heart, and her gaze dimmed.
When Zhang Chen weakened her ring, her first feeling was fear. Later, she heard Zhang Chen extinguish tens of thousands of Faceless Ones with a snap of his fingers, and she even witnessed the Faceless Giant being batted around like a toy. At this moment, her feelings towards Zhang Chen escalated from extreme fear to absolute shock! At the same time, an inexplicable sense of security welled up within her!
Ever since she entered the apocalypse, it had not been easy for a woman, especially a beautiful one, to live with dignity. Qian Xin Xin, relying on her wit and courage, quickly improved her strength and gradually established her own sales network, thereby further enhancing her power. After experiencing numerous betrayals, crises, and escapes, she had finally established her current position in the fourth walled city. A woman supporting a vast enterprise independently, she had to guard against attacks from powerful monsters, prevent other survivors from coveting the black market wealth and her beauty, and also be wary of potential betrayals from many self-serving subordinates. Although outwardly Qian Xin Xin appeared to handle everything with ease and confidence, in reality, she often suffered from insomnia and extreme inner suppression. Until today, she had finally met a man who could give her a sense of security—Zhang Chen! A powerful man fully capable of protecting her from harm. Especially Zhang Chen's effortful expression when he expended a large amount of physical energy to try and restore her ring moved Qian Xin Xin's need for care. He hadn't even shed a drop of sweat when fighting so many terrifying creatures before, yet he had sweated profusely on his forehead trying to restore Qian Xin Xin's condition! How could this not be touching?
Zhang Chen returned to the estate in Linhe. Shirley was already waiting there. She felt an inexpressible sense of satisfaction having avenged her family. Moreover, being able to kill that person was thanks to being by Zhang Chen's side, improving her strength rapidly, and obtaining many poison and trap materials from Mo Ran that she would never have had a chance to acquire alive.
"Master, you're back!" She had deliberately changed into a low-cut maid outfit, with a mini pleated skirt, black stockings, and black ten-centimeter high heels, making her figure even more eye-catching. Mo Ran also joined in the fun, wearing a maid outfit. However, on her, it exuded a mature "big sister" aura, making her seem like she was in charge of managing other maids. The Saintesses responsible for cultivation throughout the entire estate had also changed into maid outfits and were bending over while working...
"What... is this nonsense!" Zhang Chen was full of surprise.
"We are all the Master's servants. This is what we should do. In the future, the Master can have us wear any clothes he wants!" Shirley said with a smile.
"Wow, can I dress them up like dolls?"
"I heard Sister Xiao Bai say it sounds like a lot of fun!" Mo Ran said excitedly. Then, she turned, linked her arms around Zhang Chen's, swayed them in front of her, and asked pleadingly, "Daddy, can I dress them up? Sister Xiao Bai has played with dolls, but I haven't!"
Zhang Chen originally wanted to say that her doll was Roid. But considering Mo Ran was also a little girl now, he helplessly nodded and said, "Alright, but you need to be careful. They are also your sisters, so don't dress them up too excessively!" Then, Zhang Chen said to Shirley, "Shirley, come to my room for a moment!"
