Chapter 202: Chapter 201: Porcelain Doll (19)_1
Mr. Luoâs casual remark instantly stirred up a huge commotion.
âYou planted it?â
The priest, who had been hoarse and desperate, suddenly froze and began to tremble all over as if having a seizure.
âWhat else did you think?â
Mr. Luo looked at him, revealing a meaningful smile.
âDid you think the method of combating the distortion by creating Porcelain Dolls just came out of nowhere? A snake has appeared, and there must be an antidote within seven steps, you think?â
âOr perhaps miraculous prayers answered, and gods took pity?â
âSince itâs a test, some things naturally had to be designed in advance. This Foolâs Tree is an exceptionally precious thing.
Of course, your subsequent performances made me very satisfied with this idea, the price paid was worth it.â

âYou⊠thisâŠâ
The priest could hardly formulate words anymore and knelt weakly, looking in the direction of the white tree, his expression utterly shattered.
This is what a collapse of faith looked like.
Fu Qian could relate to this very well.
This one was clearly a fanatic in the Sacred Tree faith, as could be seen from his skinning and dismembering members of the Exploration Team.
To suddenly learn that the supreme faith in his heart was nothing more than something casually planted by someone else, it must feel akin to finding out that the goddess in oneâs heart had been with three hundred others for the night.
A mental breakdown was to be expected.
âWhy put on such a face? Think about it from another angle, I gave you the ability to survive here⊠as well as control over Transcendent powers.â
âOtherwise, with the talents of most of you, these are things you could never have touched.â
âOf course, now itâs time for you to repay.â
Upon hearing these words, the priest was shocked and seemed to realize something, and layers of gray curtains subconsciously appeared in front of him.
However, the next moment, a thick Magma Whip appeared out of nowhere in Mr. Luoâs hand, which belonged to the Frenzied Spirit.
With an unstoppable momentum, the whip pierced through everything, stabbing through the priestâs head.
The curtains fell apart, and the priest, despite being shot in the head, still did not fall.
Inside the massive hole in his head, flesh, blood, and brain matter were writhing wildly, with strands intertwining in an attempt to heal the wound.
Mr. Luo, however, paid him no mind. The next instant, he flashed forward and grabbed the Porcelain Doll, which had become stupefied due to the priestâs injury.
The Doll had already been injured, with dense cracks covering its body.
He applied force with his hand, making a grating sound that set oneâs teeth on edge.
It collapsed completely, being crushed into fragments just like the other dolls.
In the next instant, the priestâs recovering body lost its support and fell to the ground with a crash.
âWhat a pityâŠâ
Mr. Luo fed the newly obtained fragment to the Frenzied Spirit, all the while gently shaking his head.
âAs the leader of these people, your talent is really quite average, wasting such a position.â
âŠ
âIâve been informed of the entire plan, so how come Iâve never heard anything about planting a tree?â
Miyamoto, who had witnessed the scene, finally couldnât help but speak up.
âWhen you sought cooperation with us, this area had already been under our control for many years. How could you possibly have come earlier to set things up?â
âImpossible?â
Mr. Luo looked at Miyamoto with a playful expression.
âLike I said, you know nothing at all and donât understand the value of this area.â
âThis place has been filled with contaminated and distorted forces for a very long time.â
Mr. Luo raised the Porcelain Doll high in his hand.
âThis power is strange and powerful, allowing any living being that enters to receive unimaginable nourishment and gain Transcendent abilities. But at the same time, the uncontrollable distortion effect makes it impossible for you to control the final outcome.â
âI put in a lot of effort for this, conducted countless tests, and finally found this method.â
âThe Foolâs Tree, as an extremely cherished Transcendent being, symbolizes the power of division. Under its influence for a long time, even the spirit canât help but dissociate uncontrollably.â
âI planted it here, attempting to separate the transcendent power from its original form, to exist in a special form, thereby avoiding the chaotic effects associated with it.â
âOpposition yet unity, maintaining a wondrous connection with the original entity while growing.â
Mr. Luo pointed at the Frenzied Spirit in his hand.
âFinally, we have obtained these Porcelain Dolls, beings that inherently transcend physical form.â
âAlthough most of them are too mediocre, only fit to be broken into fragments for materials. But fortunately, this time I have finally found a special individual!â
âYouâve been using us all along?â
Miyamotoâs body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Although uncertain of Mr. Luoâs purpose in searching for the special Porcelain Doll, the fact that he was openly telling him this almost certainly meant that he would not let him go.
âAnyway, you wouldnât want the Night Watchman to find out about what youâve been doing, would you?â
The will to survive made Miyamoto subconsciously look for a chance at life.
âIf I go missing, my father will definitely use every means to find me, and the Night Watchman will never let you off for this!â
âAre you joking?â
Mr. Luo looked at him with amusement.
âAnyone with half a brain should realize that after your death, the one most afraid of the Night Watchman would be your own family.â
âŠ
With his last threat proven ineffective, Miyamoto was utterly speechless.
And at the next moment, his pupils dilated dramatically as a blinding green fire net came crashing down from the sky, enveloping everything.
The instant the fire net touched him, an invisible shield was activated from his exquisite coat.
And yet, it lasted only a moment before shattering under the scorching heat.
The dazzling fire net engulfed him in an instant, sinking deep into his flesh.
Crash!
The next moment, Miyamotoâs body turned into a pile of charred flesh, about the size of fists, scattered radially on the ground.
Ah!
In a scream, this horrifying scene finally became too much for someone to bear.
A female member of the Exploration Team behind Delin was seen screaming and running off into the distance.
Mr. Luo watched her frantic escape with interest.
Until she ran a certain distance, Mr. Luo disappeared from his spot in the next moment and reappeared right behind her.
The Frenzied Spirit, engulfed in green flames, reached out with both hands, cradling the womanâs head.
As Mr. Luo became more synchronized with the Frenzied Spirit, his control over its abilities grew more adept.
Numerous fiery cracks appeared on the womanâs face, and her head was, incredibly, directly plucked off.
Mr. Luo, holding the charred head in his hands, stood in place to observe as the womanâs body ran several meters before collapsing with a thud.
Because the wound at her neck had charred into ash, not a drop of blood had come out.
Casually tossing the head aside, Mr. Luo turned around and looked at Fu Qian expressionlessly.
The latter hadnât moved a foot from the start to the finish.
âIt seems that the life and death of these people really doesnât matter to you!â
âIsnât that obvious? Itâs hard to understand that you still thought you could use them to blackmail me.â
Fu Qian sighed helplessly and made a gesture.
âAs you please.â
âNo need, this is sufficient!â
While Delin and another were as silent as cicadas in winter, Mr. Luo, however, let go of the grip on the Porcelain Dollâs neck.
And the Frenzied Spirit, far from running away, even proactively supported his move, obediently perching on his shoulder.
âAfter this bit of activity, the synchronization is now complete.â
âNext, to prevent complications that come with prolonged affairs, Iâve decided to send you on your way first.â
