Chapter 1306: Chapter 133: The Great Reversal
Bo Boās subtle change of mood was all clearly taken in by Yun Sheng.
Unlike an ordinary Summoner and their life-bound Contracted Beast, for Yun Sheng, Bo Bo was long since no longer just some random Demon Beast.
Bo Boās suffering, Yun Sheng could feel clearly; what she could do now was help Bo Bo rebuild her confidence.
Whether the other party was a god or a devil, as long as they hurt Bo Bo, Yun Sheng would kill them all the same!
"Bo Bo is right, this man is still very useful. The matter of the Realm God hasnāt been settled yet. If Iām not mistaken, that Beast King isnāt an official Realm God yet. Bo Bo and he both still have a chance. And this man will become a very important bargaining chip for us." Yun Sheng said.
Yun Sheng had thought it through: that Treasure Ship was something from the Divine World; if she wanted to claim it for herself, she needed someone who understood the ropes.
More importantly, Yun Sheng and Bo Bo both wanted to use Qingcheng to figure out the situation with the Faith Statues.
Forced into a corner, Qingcheng had no choice but to be escorted by Boss Peng Yu onto the ship.
"Iām asking you, how exactly are these Faith Statues used? What does the Beast King want with them?" Yun Sheng pointed at the brand-new Faith Statue on the ship.
"Faith Statues are used to collect the Power of Faith. In the Faith Statues my master makes, thereās a small conversion Magic Array inside. As long as enough Power of Faith is collected, the Faith Statue can convert that Power of Faith into Divine Power." Qingcheng originally didnāt want to talk, but one fierce glare from Boss Peng Yu scared him into spilling everything at once.
After listening, Yun Sheng stepped forward and examined that Faith Statue carefully.
Sure enough, inside the Faith Statue, Yun Sheng discovered a very intricate conversion Magic Array.
This was precisely what made Ni Yidiao special. Ni Yidiaoās Divine Power was weak, even inferior to Bo Boās.
Back then, it was only by relying on his unique carving skill that he earned the favor of the Four Directions Divine Sovereign and was exceptionally promoted to Main God.
But after Ni Yidiao became a Main God, in order to prevent him from abusing his special talent, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign forbade him from freely creating Faith Statues ever again, much less selling Faith Statues down to the Human World.
A Faith Statue personally crafted by Ni Yidiao could continuously absorb Power of Faith for ten years and then convert it into Divine Power.
"It can convert Power of Faith into Divine Power?" Ever since Bo Bo found out she had become an Abandoned God, she had been somewhat dejected. Now, after hearing Qingcheng say this, a new light appeared in her eyes.
So that meant, as long as she had enough Faith Statues, she could also obtain an endless stream of Divine Power?
"Itās just... even if I obtained Divine Power, itās useless. Iāve already been abandoned." Bo Bo thought of this and drooped her little head again, looking pitiful.
"Youāre wrong, Bo Bo. If the other side really was already a Realm God, then why would he sneak around using Faith Statues to obtain Divine Power? My guess is that the so-called Beast King, just like you, is still in a pending status. You two can still compete on equal footing." Yun Sheng said with certainty.
"Right, Realm Gods all have a Boundary Seal, and my Boundary Seal has always been hidden on me. The Mother Goddess hasnāt ordered anyone to strip me of my Boundary Seal either." Bo Boās eyes sparkled. After her own masterās analysis, she felt her confidence return somewhat.
"My lords... in fact, Iāve heard a little about the Realm God matter as well. Lord Bo Bo and that Lord Beast King are both still Realm God candidates. Although the Four Directions Divine Sovereign couldnāt block the emergence of the New World God candidates, itās said she had a huge quarrel with the other Divine Masters and finally forced them to compromise: both sidesā candidates would compete fairly, and whoever won more hearts in the Human World would be the true Realm God." Off to the side, Qingcheng, in order to save his own life and curry favor, revealed all the gossip heād heard from Ni Yidiao.
Though that so-called Beast King hadnāt taken office yet, all the Main Gods including Ni Yidiao believed that, in terms of strength, Bo Bo had none; in terms of family backing, Bo Bo had none. Without the help of the Four Directions Divine Sovereign and the Netherworld God, there was absolutely no way she could beat the Beast King.
So they simply branded Bo Bo as an Abandoned God.
"Just as I thought. Tell me, how many Faith Statues has Ni Yidiao sold to the Beast King so far?" After hearing Qingchengās explanation, Yun Sheng finally understood why the Beast King went to such lengths to establish the Moon Tower and Sun Summoning Pavilion, using dirty means to collude with Ni Yidiao in exchange for Faith Statues.
"Including this one, there are eleven in total. The earlier ten have already been Lu Luxu transported to the Bahuang Continent. Itās already very hard to take them back now." Qingcheng was Ni Yidiaoās Closed-door Disciple; he knew all too well about Ni Yidiao and the Beast Kingās filthy dealings.
The earlier ten Beast King Statues were all traded under his supervision.
"Is there any way to destroy those Faith Statues and sabotage the production of new Divine Power?" Yun Sheng questioned.
"That might be a bit tricky. If we go around to the various Beast King Temples and destroy the Faith Statues, weāll probably provoke public outrage. Youāre Ni Yidiaoās Closed-door Disciple, do you have a way?" Yun Sheng said, rubbing her chin, looking at Qingcheng with a treacherous gaze.
Yun Sheng had been to the Beast King Temple in Wu City; the people there held the Beast King in unquestioning reverence.
Yun Sheng wasnāt stupid. Whoever wins the peopleās hearts wins the world. Whatās more, she had come precisely to calm the peopleās hearts and collect Power of Faith. Destroying Faith Statues would be going directly against the people.
So if force wouldnāt work, they could only use brains.
Qingchengās scalp tingled under Yun Shengās stare.
"Th-this... girl, my skills arenāt enough; I have no way." Qingcheng still tried to weasel out of it.
"No way? Iāve got some rotten corpse water here, and I donāt mind turning you into a puddle of corpse sludge." Yun Sheng curled her lip; a vial of potion appeared in her hand.
"Spare me, auntie, Iāll kowtow to you! Let me think, let me thinkāthere has to be a way." Qingcheng cursed his bad luck in his heart. Of all things, he had to be the one delivering the Faith Statue and ended up falling into this female devilās hands.
He really couldnāt understand how this woman had gained the protection of the Divine Emperorās divine might.
Very soon, Qingcheng came up with a method.
"Actually, I really do have a way to transfer the Beast Kingās Power of Faith onto Lord Bo Bo." For someone able to become a Closed-door Disciple, Qingchengās knack for reading the situation was top-notch.
To save his own life, he offered two rather decent methods.
The first was to tamper with the Magic Array inside the Faith Statue and change the destination of the Divine Power being transmitted.
As for the second, it was to change where the peopleās hearts lay, so that they would no longer worship that scum Beast King.
