Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1260 How should this thing be cultivated?

"Yes, there is." Gao Shenxue responded softly, walked to the other side of the laboratory wall, and gently pressed her finger on the sensor area.

With a slight hydraulic sound, another mech bay slowly opened.

Inside the cabin stood a doll that was very similar to the previous one, but upon closer inspection, differences could be found—the words "First Substitute Doll Type B" were clearly marked on its chest, and some details were also noticeably simpler.

Gao Shenxue explained, "This version is much cheaper, costing only about one-tenth of the previous one."

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "One-tenth? That's a huge difference?"

"Because this puppet not only has 50% of the controller's HP and MP, but it can also only synchronize 50% of the controller's attribute data, which means that the combat power will be directly halved."

Gao Shenxue explained, "Moreover, this puppet cannot transmit energy such as malevolent energy, divine energy, holy energy, or demonic energy; it can only transmit soul energy. There is also a limitation on the transmission distance. The distance between the controller and the stand-in puppet cannot exceed ten kilometers, otherwise there may be signal problems. The puppet that Yao Yao just controlled could transmit at a maximum distance of about thirty kilometers."

“I see…” Ye Ge pondered for a moment.

Only ten kilometers, 50% of their combat strength...

"It's alright, half price is fine. Being able to buy in large quantities at a low price is very important," Ye Ge said. "However... you might need to install the synchronization magic data again, but the divine power and holy power don't matter."

Now, nearly a third of the human race has become his apostles, which means that these thirds can use magic! It would be a real shame if the puppets couldn't synchronize their magic.

“Okay.” Gao Shenxue understood what he meant: “Then I’ll add some more. If it’s just to increase the synchronization magic attribute, it won’t cost too much money.”

"Hmm..." Ye Ge looked at the stand-in doll in the mecha cabin in front of him, his eyes burning with desire.

Without a doubt, if countless such stand-in dolls were replicated, the form of warfare in this world could be completely overturned! It could also expand into many tactics that were previously unthinkable!

Previously, Night Song would generally avoid tactics that had a high chance of success but required a large number of casualties.

But now, it's clear that all of these are now feasible.

If we could assemble an army of stand-ins, then we could have no problem sending all of them to their deaths.

and......

If combined with his new ability...

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes slightly.

......

The strange celestial phenomena that occurred in the Human Empire last night have caused a great uproar across the land of all races.

Such a huge commotion could not possibly be kept secret.

Especially those kingdoms of various races that are close to human territory.

They saw starlight explode above the human realm, with rays of light spreading everywhere! The entire night sky was brightly lit, the starlight dazzling, as if a god had descended to earth.

Countless beams of light pierced the sky, and countless stardust fluttered down like snowflakes, rendering the entire city of Kyoto as a dreamlike and beautiful fairyland!

Some foreigners who were lingering outside the Great Wall stared in shock at the scene inside the territory, speechless with astonishment.

The Deep Blue system's online forums were already in an uproar.

"Holy crap, what on earth happened on the human empire's side?!"

"Has a god descended???"

"No, I was outside the Great Wall last night. I think that was a beam of light caused by someone breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm!"

"Nonsense, how could that be? How many people would need to break through to the Soul Emperor realm at the same time for such a large-scale phenomenon to occur? There must be something else going on..."

"Could it be that the human race has discovered an entrance to some kind of sacred realm? And opened it directly within human territory?!"

"..."

Su Yanling sat quietly on the white jade couch, her eyes gently closed, a faint halo of light flowing around her.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, opened her eyes, and felt the significant improvement in her internal attribute panel.

Although she was not in the human realm last night, because her sacred soul still had a deep connection with Ye Ge, she could still clearly perceive the Heavenly Dao sound that echoed between heaven and earth when Ye Ge broke through.

"Truly amazing..." Su Yanling murmured to himself, sensing the power flowing through his body, "I never imagined that holy power and magical power, two completely opposing forces, could coexist within me... Ye Ge, that guy, is a monster..."

She never imagined that after experiencing the voice of the Heavenly Dao, she would become an apostle of Night Song...

But shouldn't apostles originate from some kind of faith?

Although Su Yanling admitted that she did indeed... have a slight liking for Ye Ge, and did feel a little respect for what he had done, she figured it was far from being a matter of faith.

Regardless, she did gain that power.

Since it was gained through enlightenment, it shouldn't be wasted; after all, it's a way to become stronger.

Having received the power of faith for the first time, Su Yanling was also filled with curiosity about this power.

But how should one cultivate this power of faith?

I've heard that those sorcerers perform their spells by praying, chanting, and guiding.

The sorcerer first invokes the name of the god with a specific prayer, explaining what he is asking for.

Then, the sorcerer will chant hymns or sacred songs. Through specific tones and syllables, they "calibrate" their soul frequency to better match the "wavelength" of divine power, much like tuning a radio.

Finally, the gods respond, and awe-inspiring divine sounds will resonate in the sorcerer's mind. Divine power arrives as promised, and the sorcerer's body, or their emblem or staff, becomes a vessel and conduit for this power. The sorcerer must use immense willpower to guide this power, far exceeding their own capacity, shaping it into divine magic.

"..."

Su Yanling frowned and closed the beginner's guide to clergy in her hand, looking puzzled.

It looks so complicated...

But this is an apostle of the gods, praying for divine power; Night Song is a demonized human, giving the apostle the dark power of the demonic lineage... so the process of chanting and casting spells should be quite different, right?

"Um......"

"Let's give it a try."

Su Yanling closed her eyes again and began to gather her magic power.

She silently recited the Heavenly Dao teachings that Night Song had imparted to the apostles, while the nine orange-red fox tails behind her swayed unconsciously. Crimson Holy Spirit Fire and dark purple magic intertwined and flowed around her, forming a dazzling halo.

'I don't know if doing this is the right thing to do...'

Su Yanling thought to herself.

After chanting, you should receive a "response" from divine... no, demonic sounds, right?

After a long time...

As she continued to deepen her meditation, she gradually entered a state of complete absorption in the external world.

In the deep meditative world, she could vaguely sense a figure slowly approaching her.

It was a handsome, charming, and captivating male face, the perfect face capable of seduce countless young women, slowly appearing in her mind, smiling at her—who else could it be but Ye Ge?

“???” Su Yanling was stunned.
