Barrier of Light

Over the years, Higashi Shozo has cultivated more than 3,000 believers, distributed in various sub-islands of the Isakuchi Islands.

Under the influence of the "Dharma" taught by the temple.

These believers have firmly believed in Toze Shozo and regarded him as the legendary "Snake God". In addition to these ordinary people, there are many senior members of the Toze family who have also accepted the "Snake God Faith".

Snake, that sounds ridiculous.

But in the eyes of those completely converted fanatics, this is the greatest existence in the Five Continents.

Light, storm? They are all scum. Compared with the great snake god Toze Shozo, these two false gods are only worthy of licking the soles of shoes.

There is no way to save these fanatics.

Not even "hypnosis" can change the tragic fate of these people... After being corroded and poisoned by fanatical beliefs, forced hypnosis and brainwashing will only lead to the collapse of the spiritual sea.

"What are you going to do with these people?"

Song Ci stood on the hill with a complicated expression. He saw that these villagers were imprisoned in the [Poison Nest] and kept company with poisonous snakes all day long.

killed? Not very humane.

Let go? Less likely.

"It's difficult to deal with, but I have a way."

Gu Shen put his hands behind his back and stared at the village down the mountain with cold eyes, saying: "I can handle the follow-up of these believers by myself..."

"I don't understand, what is the purpose of the temple teaching the method of cultivating disciples to Tiguse Shozo?"

Song Ci said in confusion: "Guangming City itself is also a place of faith. Don't you know the dual nature of fanatics?"

Fanaticism is a double-edged sword.

"I'm also very curious." Shen Li then asked: "The person behind the scenes in Guangming City asked Dongze Shozo to cultivate so many followers. What's the benefit to him? These followers believe in the [Snake God] , not the God of Light... In order for Dongze Shozo to cultivate a sufficient number of believers, a reward mechanism was even set up."

If you haven’t seen the [Holy Book] of Guangming City.

Gu Shen would not understand this problem either.

But now the answer is obvious.

The Saizhou Temple is using Toze Shozo. Their so-called guidance is just to reap the benefits. After Toze Shozo cultivated those [Snake God] believers, they helped the Toze family move to Xizhou...

The next step is to plunder faith!

With the [Holy Book] here, as long as Toze Shozo goes to Xizhou, all these years of hard work will become a wedding dress in an instant. .

Guangming City naturally welcomed these believers.

Gu Shen shook his head and said sarcastically: "There is no free lunch in this world. The more you get, the more you give away."

He told Song and Chen about the existence of the [Holy Book].

Both of them felt chills running down their backs.

Especially Shen Li.

"Able to plunder faith and transform believers..."

Little Iron Man's hair stood on end because he recalled what Saint Su Ye did during the Sangzhou Cave mission five years ago, as well as the massacre that Guangming City carried out against the extraordinary people within its jurisdiction when they finally left the island.

It turns out that as early as that time, Xizhou was planning to plunder faith!

"Do you still remember the last 'transformation' of Toze Shozo?"

Gu Shen said calmly: "If I guess correctly, this should also be a special method taught to him by the instructor in Guangming City... In the understanding of the two major churches, secular faith is actually a kind of spirit. This kind of spirit Individually, the power is very meager, but the cumulative effect is that there is no upper limit. If there are a sufficient number of 'believers' who are willing to dedicate themselves, then the believers may really be able to create miracles."

Shen Li and Song Ci looked at each other.

They remember clearly that after Toze Shozo broke out of the life capsule and appeared, he became much younger... This was a kind of "reflection" that defied cognition.

It would not be surprising if Mr. Bai Shu could do such a thing.

But Tiguse Shozo's [Poison Nest] has nothing to do with time ability.

There is no special sealed object on him, obviously... this is a miracle created by the "power of faith".

Unfortunately.

There is a huge difference in strength between Dongze Shozo and Gu Shen. Even if they come back to their senses, they can only be hit instantly by one move.

"Higashi Shozo has been cautious all his life and has great ambitions. If it weren't for enough temptation, how could he be willing to hide in a dark place to refine the power of faith?"

Gu Shen looked at the broken warehouse and said with some regret: "I just don't know how long the 'faith' provided by Jiankou Islands will be enough for him to return to his former glory."

He regretted that he drew his sword too quickly.

If you do it again.

Gu Shen wanted to see how long Dongze Shozo could maintain this state.

What he was curious about was not Dongze Shozo, but the upper limit of this "forbidden technique".

Compared with Guangming City, the "power of faith" mastered by the Dongze family is like a spark compared to a bright moon. There is a huge difference between the two.

If the god from Xizhou performs this technique himself...

What will it be like?

Guangming City has been cultivating beliefs and harvesting spiritual power over the years. No one knows what they want to do, but through the "Higashi Family" case, Gu Shen vaguely guessed some taboo truths.

After careful calculation, the God of Light is already very old.

Except for Qingyun, basically none of the divine thrones in the past dynasties had a long life.

Smelting fire will certainly bring powerful vitality to the throne.

But becoming the leader of the Five Continents also means being surrounded by a lot of ominous things.

Every time the God Throne takes action and every time it spends divine power, it actually comes at the cost of consuming lifespan. They have a long life, but the premise is that nothing moves. As long as Wuzhou is still wrapped in chaos for one day, they can't do anything. to "no movement".

It is very possible that Xizhou will harvest a large amount of power of faith and cultivate believers...

It's because the life of the God of Light has come to an end.

No one in this world can fight against life and death, not even Pluto.

…

…

After Takamasa Toze provided the list of defectors, the subsequent handling of events became very simple.

There is no need for Gu Shen to show up.

Shen Li sent the list to Nagano.

With his current status as the fourth inquisitor, this list immediately attracted the attention of Dongzhou's senior officials. Three institutes and five experts set up a special investigation team that day. The Jianguchi Islands were taken over and controlled overnight, and the entire Yinghai area was sealed off.

Under the instruction of Mr. Shan, the betrayal case of "Dongze" was personally investigated by Shen Li and the latest status was reported at any time.

As for the group of snake god believers on the islands, Gu Shen gathered them together.

He thought about how to deal with these people...

After the death of Toze Shozo, the entire Toze family fell apart, and no one would be able to maintain the "preaching". If left unchecked, the outcome of these believers would probably be a series of mental breakdowns, and until then they would continue to attack the outside world.

It is impossible to release them. There is no difference between these people and those who are out of control.

Killing is the best option.

Just killing so many people... Gu Shen didn't want to bear this unreasonable "disaster". If the former Hades saw this job, he would be very happy to do it.

More than three thousand people, placed in the Pure Land, are a very impressive fighting force.

There is no shortage of souls in the Pure Land right now, and Gu Shen does not want to increase the consumption of the Pure Land's source material.

So he thought of a compromise.

In a basin on Wudai Island, more than 3,000 followers of the snake god were gathered here. The dark sky was filled with heavy rain, and there was a ray of fire burning in the darkness. Gu Shen stood at the highest point of the mountain. He set up a large spiritual temple. The barrier covers half of Wudai Island, and here are all the followers trained by Dongze Shozo.

"laugh."

The ignition of the fire attracted the attention of countless believers.

These skinny believers each have vertical pupils, and there are dense cracks in their bodies. These people are not only the dead soldiers of Dongze Shozo, but also the feed of the poisonous nest.

Their flesh and blood are specially used by poisonous snakes to absorb nutrients.

"These dead soldiers are too weak..."

Gu Shen frowned, looking at this scene with a somewhat disgusted expression.

He doubted that if there had been no outside intervention, on the day of the deal between Dongze Shozo and Guangming City, whether the latter would be willing to accept these dirty, weak, and poisonous believers...

At least he was reluctant.

"boom……"

Gu Shen took out two pieces of torn paper and poured his mental power into them. The two pieces of paper burned with a lot of light at this moment.

He knew that Guangming City's plan was to use the [Holy Book] to transform faith...

Now, he is preparing to cut off his beard in advance.

Although these snake god cultists trained by Dongze Shozo looked sinister and dirty, Gu Shen still decided to take them under his command... and not the kind that would be brought into the Pure Land.

It is different from the so-called snake god belief.

Gu Shen is the true master of the Seven Gods! A serious leader of Hell Fire!

These people were infected by snake venom, and it was hard to say whether they could live for more than a month without the life of Toze Shozo.

His own vitality fire can save these people's lives.

In this operation, Gu Shen failed to capture the instigator of the temple.

Guangming City instructs Dongze Shozo, and then escapes...the instigator did not pay any price at all.

Nagano's investigation was not painful for that person.

Perhaps when he met with Tiguse Shozo that year, the instigator knew that one day this place would be discovered.

Guangming City did not leave a single believer in the Jianguchi Islands.

There is not even a Holy Judge.

This is enough to prove that the temple completely regards Dongze Shozo as a pawn.

But after today, the storm subsided.

If there is a Holy Inquisitor from the Western Continent in the future who comes here with the [Holy Book] to harvest faith...these believers who have transferred their faith can come in handy.

The bright fire shines through the rainy night.

The thunder suddenly broke, causing countless screams.

The snake god cultists prostrate themselves one after another, with large amounts of pus and blood flowing out of their bodies. Countless poisonous snakes were forced out by the blazing fire, screaming and turning into ashes in the firelight.

A large amount of fog rose in the basin.

Gu Shen took out the [Snuff Bottle] and released a drop of Styx poison to completely kill the low-level mental toxins hidden in Dongze.

Next, Gu Shen released the "Fire of Vitality".

boom!

Now the fire is so fierce that it can burn into a sea of ​​fire in just a few seconds.

In the sea of ​​fire, the believers were trembling all over. Their spiritual sea was being washed by the majestic power of the [Holy Book]. The cognition in their inner lakes was being violently subverted, and their bodies were also being washed away by the blazing fire of vitality. Usher in change.

The wounds on their bodies that had been bitten by venomous snakes quickly scabbed and fell off.

This is a sign of having believed in the snake god. These scars may not disappear for a lifetime, but from this moment on, everyone felt a trance and relaxation in their hearts.

This is the role of the [Holy Book].

Their faith has been completely cleansed.

"From now on... you are no longer members of the Snake God Cult."

The men looked up blankly.

Gu Shen spoke word by word, with a voice like a divine edict: "You don't need to feed snakes with your body, you don't need to cultivate poisonous strains, and you don't need to worship and prostrate every day. You just need to know... your current belief is called 'Pure Land'."

The former snake god cult members looked at the majestic figure on the top of the mountain, wrapped in the light of fire.

boom--

Gu Shen's spiritual barrier was activated at this moment, and all these believers were pulled into the dream world.

Thousands of branches and leaves are flying, and countless golden ears are dancing.

Compared with [Poison Nest].

This is simply a perfect country, with no pain, no suffering, no torture.

This country is called the Pure Land.
