Chapter 336: The Divine Manifestation Is Too Shocking! Demonic Puppet Modification Stone!
Not only were Minister Ma and the others dumbfounded as they watched the live stream screen turn entirely into a snowflake pattern, but the viewers watching online also saw the live stream image become a snowflake pattern.
Only Chen Han knew what was going on: that was Mahadra using the Manifestation Scroll, and the mobile phone used for the live stream was definitely affected by the scroll’s power.
As for how wide the range of this influence was, that depended on the Manifestation Scroll’s effect; after all, he did not know either.
Anyway, the mobile phone Mahadra was using for the live stream was definitely affected now.
Demon Realm.
In front of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Daoist Temple, Mahadra excitedly raised the scroll in his hand, but before he could react, the scroll instantly vanished without a trace.
Yet in that instant, he seemed to sense something. He looked up at the sky, and in that moment, the sky that had been filled with gathered dust suddenly began to roil with wind and clouds.
That sky full of dust had been formed from countless buildings in this place being blasted into ruins and collapsing, their dust drifting up, collecting in the air.
Now it seemed some kind of power had appeared there.
This was a very strange kind of sensing.
Then, the collected dust quickly scattered, as if disappearing into thin air, and even the sunlight shining down was no longer so hazy and gray.
Not only Mahadra saw this; all of those ten among the one hundred thousand Heavenly Lord Believers also sensed something. They looked up at the sky, eyes wide with disbelief.
Especially a few of them, who were temporary Heavenly Lord Believers, assigned here with a task to help build this Daoist Temple and solve some problems.
But what were they seeing now?
That dust cloud that had been gathering for so long was actually disappearing like melting ice and snow.
Suddenly, this task began to feel very wrong.
The surrounding citizens Mahadra had gathered to watch saw the dust being dispersed, the sunlight beginning to shine bright again, and someone subconsciously knelt to worship.
At first, they thought what Mahadra said was just psychological comfort, but after seeing this scene, they believed much more in their hearts.
Even if it was just that the sunlight became brighter, that also seemed like a bit of hope.
Almost at the same time, some people felt as if it had started to rain.
Rain while the sun was shining was very rare in the Demon Realm. At first, there were just a few drops, then gradually more and more.
Soon, many people noticed something strange. When the raindrops fell on them, they did not splash away like normal rain.
When they landed on the skin, they seemed to merge in, to burrow into the skin, and then an unbelievable sensation appeared. It was as if a warm current began to flow inside their bodies.
One after another, they all stared in shock.
As soon as Mahadra felt it, he recognized this as the feeling of receiving the Heavenly Lord’s Blessing. As the rain grew heavier, he noticed something miraculous.
The cut on his palm was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This excited him. He held up his palm toward the people around him and shouted loudly, “The Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation, Emperor Zhenwu, and the Lord have bestowed their blessing!”
His voice was once again carried outward through the loudspeakers.
This time, no one doubted his words.
Those close to the platform could all see the wound on Mahadra’s palm healing.
If this was not a blessing, what was it?
If this was not a miracle, what was it?
Even those in the Demon Realm who were not near the platform also felt something different under the falling grace.
That warm feeling was not only very comfortable; many people had more or less some wounds, and some wounds had even festered.
After all, under those shell attacks, many people had been injured, all the buildings had collapsed, and the hospital was gone. They had nowhere to be treated and could only endure in pain.
Now, standing in this rain, they found their wounds beginning to heal. Even festering wounds were miraculously cured.
Faced with this marvel, the people of the Demon Realm all dropped to their knees together, faces filled with pious devotion.
In this moment, the demonic energy was dispersed.
Even though the demonic energy seeped everywhere.
When the people of the Demon Realm held hope in their hearts and their thoughts were firm, the power of the demonic energy was quickly suppressed.
But some were even more devout, even fanatical.
Those were the people of the Demon Realm who believed in the faith of Islam.
These people froze when they heard Mahadra shout the word “Lord”.
Members of several organizations, once they reacted, were filled with anger.
Because they saw his words as an insult to their Lord. How could the Lord possibly be a deity of that foreign religion?
But before they could do anything, the clouds in the sky churned, the long-gathered dust dissolved and dispersed, disappearing as if into thin air, leaving them stunned once more.
Especially the clear, bright sunlight pouring down.
The Demon Realm had not seen such sunlight in a long time.
Very soon, the falling raindrops brought them an enormous impact. Some of their own injuries were miraculously healed.
Because of the war, the Demon Realm’s hospitals had long been destroyed, and many wounded had no way to receive treatment.
Many pitiful citizens of the Demon Realm could die from minor wounds leading to all kinds of complications.
Now, under this rain, those wounds were unbelievably cured.
In the face of such a miracle, they were struck dumb.
In this situation, would you believe that the god of this foreign religion was truly the Lord?
If it was not the Lord, why would they receive such a blessing?
The key point was that the Lord had never manifested before, and now a manifestation was being proclaimed in his name. Would you believe it or not?
Instinctively, they knelt and worshipped.
And the other Muslims also turned to kneel toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Daoist Temple, their faces full of piety, even more fanatical than those people Mahadra had gathered.
Because they already had religious faith.
At this moment, the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation in Mahadra’s mouth was their Lord.
Perhaps this was simply the same deity, known by different names in different places because of differences in believer culture.
Teisi was completely dumbfounded by this sight. Watching the countless people of the Demon Realm kneel in unison, he could even feel a terrifying power growing.
He had never expected such an unpredictable event.
What truly filled him with fear, however, was this unbelievable rain. In the rain, he felt that same warm current within his body.
Under this flowing warmth, some of his past injuries were healing.
He could feel it clearly.
He could even see several of his guards showing the same look of disbelief, edged with fear.
He knew the source of that fear.
Because previously, the Demon Realm could be dealt with using guns and cannons, but now there was an additional kind of power they could not predict and could not understand.
It is the unknown that inspires fear.
What was more, that Daoist Sect and the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation came from Eastern Greatness, that mysterious and powerful eastern great power.
If they dared to test the Daoist Sect building and the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation in the Demon Realm with shells, then they would truly learn what fear meant.
In other words, now they could not do this or that; there were things they could no longer do at all.
The more he thought and looked at that Daoist Temple, the more apprehensive he became, even developing an inexplicable terror, and he fled in panic.
At this moment, several of the temporary Heavenly Lord Believers among the one hundred thousand were equally shaken. They had come with assignments from the higher-ups.
But now…
Everyone around them had dropped to their knees, and only they were left standing blankly, dazed.
Faced with such mysterious phenomena and such a shock, if not for their identities and status, they too would have wanted to kneel.
Now they could only stand there alone, extremely conspicuous.
The one holding the mobile phone for the live stream looked at the snowflake-patterned live screen and was already wondering how to report this.
Because given their identity, status, and stance, they could not report unscientific events. These matters had to be clarified, the truth found, and solutions proposed before they could be reported.
But what they had just witnessed was fact. How could this be resolved?
They could not just make up lies in their report to the higher-ups, right?
That would be even worse.
As time passed, the rain stopped, and they saw a fanatical scene: dense crowds frenziedly shouting toward the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Daoist Temple.
The man holding the mobile phone also saw the signal return. He tapped to reconnect the live stream, and the broadcast resumed.
In other words, the blessing was over.
Domestically, people online had long been anxiously waiting, wanting to know what had happened over there.
After the snowflake pattern appeared, they saw the live stream room disconnect.
It made them feel as if ants were crawling in their hearts; they badly wanted to know what had happened.
After all, with over two hundred thousand people gathered, it was hard not to be curious.
Some were even wondering whether Divine Might Country had fired another shell into the Demon Realm.
Fortunately, before long the live stream room returned to normal, but when they saw the scene again, the impact was enormous.
The dense crowds were already more than before. As the video lens moved, one could see countless people in the distance also kneeling and shouting.
What was especially striking was that the direction of their worship was the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Daoist Temple.
You had to know that seeing a foreign Daoist priest cultivating in Wudang online usually caused a huge sensation; now this scene stirred people’s hot blood.
Their immortal was truly impressive.
Look at the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation: once he went out, the effect was this awesome.
Many people recorded the live stream footage, and in a short time, various clips spread wildly online.
For a while, the topic of the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation exploding in popularity abroad blazed with activity.
Of course, people online still had no idea what had really happened there; they only knew the Heavenly Lord was awesome.
In the Demon Realm, after the live stream was restored, the man holding the mobile phone felt the vibration of a communicator on him.
Seeing the number, he quickly handed the mobile phone to someone next to him, then went into the Daoist Temple.
He hurriedly connected the communicator, and his leader’s urgent question came through: “Goat, what just happened over there?”
No wonder they were anxious. They had been worried something might go wrong, and when the stream came back, such a shocking scene appeared.
Those more than two hundred thousand people were kneeling in unison toward that Daoist Temple.
Clearly, something major had happened to produce such a scene.
“Leader, you might not believe this if I say it…” Goat was a bit awkward, not knowing how to speak without violating principles.
In the capital city, Minister Ma immediately understood the reason and reminded him, “Just tell the truth.”
Goat hesitated a moment, then spoke frankly: “It was that Mahadra who took out a scroll, the one the Chen Clan gave him. Then the live stream cut off, and somehow it began to rain here. The rain was very miraculous, not only warming the body but even healing some lingering injuries.”
Hearing this report, Minister Ma and the leader were both visibly shocked.
They naturally knew about the scroll the Chen Clan had given Mahadra. That matter had been recorded back at the Chen Clan.
They had even seen Mahadra take out that scroll right before the live stream cut.
They just had not expected such unbelievable phenomena to occur because of it.
This was a complete shock to their worldview.
“Minister Ma, do you know what is going on?” The leader could not figure it out and could only ask.
Minister Ma thought for a moment and said, “Leader, you should know my younger brother is the Secretary-General of the Daoist Association. He has repeatedly probed that president, Daoist Priest Li.”
“From Daoist Priest Li, we learned that the Daoist Sect is still hiding many things. Take feng shui, for example. That basic feng shui is only the most superficial layer. They were planning to use it as teaching material at the Daoist Academy. Since that secret could not be kept, they simply made it public.”
“But my brother also probed from Daoist Priest Li that feng shui is not only related to geography, but also to meteorology.”
“They apparently have a book called Feng Shui Secret Records. True advanced feng shui is unknown to outsiders; even most people in the Daoist Sect do not know it.”
“Now, this situation is probably related to that aspect as well, which indirectly proves that feng shui is really connected to meteorology.”
This surprised the leader and led to more serious thought.
Since feng shui geography had been proven real, and they had gradually found that it could be handled through scientific and technological methods, that implied the meteorological aspect could also be approached similarly.
Although they already had methods for artificial rainfall, feng shui methods could be used as a complementary reference.
The leader looked at Minister Ma and asked, “Minister Ma, how is your understanding of that illusion array matter coming along?”
Minister Ma immediately explained, “Through the people we sent to investigate at the Chen Clan and various places in the Daoist Sect, we have learned a few points. To set up that kind of illusion array, one needs the Five Emperors Sword, special geography and terrain, the placement of the array, and a special kind of power.”
“Now we already have the Five Emperors Sword, and using special technological means we can detect the sword’s sensing of geography, terrain, and feng shui formations, as well as the array’s arrangement. Our satellites have already captured images of the Chen Clan’s illusion array.”
“Our only missing element now is that special power. According to information spread from the Daoist Sect, currently only the Chen Clan has mastered such power, and also Wudang, because the Thunder Fire Refining Golden Summit feng shui formation can be used to cultivate this power.”
“In other words, feng shui formations are very important. People throughout the Daoist Sect are all trying to resolve issues related to feng shui formations.”
“We can also tackle this from that angle, and at the same time, we can have the Academy of Scientific Research study the corresponding energy to see whether a scientific approach can substitute for it.”
The leader nodded. They were not members of the Daoist Sect and did not have to follow the Daoist path completely.
It was already modern society, and their technology was highly advanced. They could try to solve these issues scientifically.
That was their innate advantage.
“Resolve this as soon as possible. After all, such illusion arrays would be of great benefit for border wars and preventing various incidents,” the leader instructed solemnly, showing that the higher-ups attached great importance to this matter.
Minister Ma nodded. He had already been considering increasing manpower and even attempting cooperation with the Daoist Sect.
Compared with their shock and impact, the people of the Chen Clan were extremely excited, even proud.
Xiao Yu, Chen Lin, and Chen Dagou could not contain their excitement when they saw the shocking scene as the live stream resumed.
This was the deity their Chen Clan worshipped.
“Senior brother, did you see it? The Heavenly Lord is incredible. Look at those foreigners…” Xiao Yu cried out, her face full of excitement.
“I saw it.” Chen Han was also all smiles, happier than anyone.
Looking at the numbers on the light screen in his mind, how could he not be happy?
【You have gained 1 point of wish power!】
…
【You have gained 1 point of wish power!】
…
【You have gained 1 point of wish power!】
…
A dense flood of game prompts.
Just looking at the information for the Sect dwelling place made him feel delighted.
Level: level 6 Sect dwelling place
…
Upgrade requirements: Money: （554,934,200/200,000,000）. Reputation: （7,526,542/1,000,000）. Wish power: （304,255/100,000）. Feng Shui formation: （2/2）. Three Talents Plant forest: （not yet complete）.
Sure enough, in that short time he had gained more than two hundred thousand wish power, which meant Mahadra had really secured something big for him.
Most crucially, a new project had been added to the Merit Industry: Outer Demonic Realm Heavenly Lord’s Daoist Temple.
Because the Daoist Temple Mahadra had set up in the Demon Realm was within the Game Plot, and devout worshippers there could increase wish power, it counted as a Merit Industry.
With three hundred thousand wish power, not only could he meet the upgrade requirements for this level of Sect dwelling place, he could also afford the one hundred thousand wish power required for the Soul Summoning Banner, and still have one hundred thousand to spare.
Previously, wish power had been hard to collect each day; now he suddenly had an excellent source.
After this blessing, many people would definitely keep coming to worship, providing wish power every day.
Then he looked at the other upgrade conditions for the Sect dwelling place, and only the Three Talents Plant requirement remained unmet.
His uncle’s Work Hall had been planting them all along, so it should be ready to upgrade soon.
Also, incense offerings at the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall were still ongoing. The Purple Robe and Decree had not yet been activated, but they should be triggered soon.
By then, both his own strength and that of the Chen Clan would improve by a large margin.
Since Mahadra had stirred up such a huge event in the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation should be satisfied and give him a good reward, right?
Almost as soon as that thought appeared, a game prompt popped up:
【Congratulations, the one hundred thousand Heavenly Lord Believers set out for the Demon Realm, stirring up a bloody storm there. When facing resistance from local religious believers, they slaughtered them to the last and directly absorbed their believers.
The Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation also manifested divinely, intimidating everyone, causing a Demonic Path Magnate to flee in panic, leaving behind something special.
Congratulations, you have obtained: Special Demonic Puppet Modification Stone x1】
Seeing this reward, Chen Han immediately checked the Game Warehouse and found the Demonic Puppet Modification Stone, but after reading the Remark Information with its usage requirements, he was stunned.
This was modern society now…
