The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 440: Brand of Faith
"Can you tell what this is?"

Zhang Chunxue asked, as if he could read Liu Sheng's expression which was shocked and could not be restrained.

Liu Sheng looked at the answer analyzed by the world beside him, hesitated and nodded slowly.

“So, this kind of thing will appear after believing in the Supreme God for a long time?” Liu Sheng asked with a frown, temporarily ignoring the word “infected”.

"That's right." Zhang Chunxue nodded appreciatively, stuffed the branding crystal back into his head, and closed his head again.

Liu Sheng tried hard to ignore this horrifying scene and kept a calm expression on his face.

[I don’t know who is more terrifying. ]

[It's either a tentacle or an eyeball. ]

[Nonsense, "Mom" is a little cutie, how can she be creepy? ]

The little tentacle could only express its doubts silently.

Liu Sheng ignored the complaints and asked, "So, you are a priest?"

"No." Zhang Chunxue shook his head with a cold look in his eyes, "After your majesty became a divine envoy, I became his servant."

"To become a priest, one must ascend the ladder, but I... have never had this opportunity."

Zhang Chunxue smiled and spoke calmly, as if he had no resentment about it.

"With this mark, if you obey the Supreme God, you may live a good life." He continued calmly, "But if you are abandoned by God, your life will be very miserable."

Liu Sheng recalled the description above: "You... questioned the Supreme God? So you were abandoned by God?"

Zhang Chunxue smiled helplessly and did not deny it.

Liu Sheng didn't understand: "But, as long as you are loyal to the Supreme God, you can be protected by the Supreme God, but... why?"

"Do you know what purification is?"

Zhang Chunxue suddenly mentioned the topic that Liu Sheng had just heard Old Lady Su talk about not long ago.

So Liu Sheng recalled and said: "Purification... is it a lock that the Supreme God put on the strange creature?"

"Yes, but what if the Supreme God doesn't want to lock it?"

Liu Sheng looked up at the endless cabinets filled with strange things in the sky and felt a chill in his spine.

"Chang'an will become the northern border." Zhang Chunxue said coldly.

"So, what if all of us who have the Mark are abandoned by the Supreme God at the same time?"

Liu Sheng's face turned even paler.

Think of that golden crystal.

There is also the transformation attribute of the gods and ghosts.

"You...will all become..."

Liu Sheng looked up again, at the beings stored in the cabinet.

Will the Supreme God abandon the Tang Kingdom and this world one day?

Liu Sheng had never thought about this question.

Even though she had doubted the Supreme God's motives and felt the Supreme God's malice towards her, and discovered that the Supreme God was just a product of a higher dimension, she had never thought that the Supreme God himself would cause a catastrophe.

Or rather, everything she had been taught since she was a child made her not dare to think about this possibility. "So, I hope you can help the Tang Kingdom... find a way out." Zhang Chunxue said to Liu Sheng seriously.

"Do you trust me that much?" Liu Sheng retracted his gaze and asked in confusion.

Much of what was said here, and what was shown to her, seemed a little too blunt and frank.

Now she is just a student who has just entered the National Academy. What abilities can she have that could be noticed by the new president of the General Administration of Weaving?

"First of all, we have been observing you long before you knew it."

"You may not know, my wife's surname is Mei, her name is Mei Yuting, she is Mei Yuanzheng's sister, and she is also the chief editor of "Cultivation Theory". She is waiting for you in the snow mountain."

Zhang Chunxue's smile was meaningful.

"Secondly, you can't communicate with gods, but you can practice. This already explains a lot."

"You...can't stand up to investigation."

Having said this, Zhang Chunxue's smile was still kind, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, which obviously contained a warning.

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, she would not stand up to scrutiny.

She has too many secrets.

Just by cutting open her stomach, you could see the world inside.

Even she herself was not sure whether she was a weird person... or a new human being.

If she didn't have the fragments of the divine nature on her body and the protection of her "mother", a growing true god, she would have been crushed into powder by the pressure when standing in front of these dragon corpses.

"Thirdly, we have to thank some of the worshippers." Zhang Chunxue smiled gently.

"Their prophet is targeting you. Since they regard you as an enemy, it means that according to the prophet's prophecy, you will accomplish great things, and it will have a great impact on those who worship God and even... God's plan."

"So, we choose to bet on you."

"If they want to support Wen Xuanning, then we will support you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng realized some things that he had not figured out before.

As expected, Zhang Chunxue's eyes darkened slightly, and he whispered:

"If it weren't for us, you would have been eliminated from the exam."

"Also... the title of No. 1, do you know how it came about?"

Liu Sheng knew very well the purpose of his saying this, which was to completely control her.

However, Liu Sheng was also very clear that what Zhang Chunxue said was true.

Although she was confident in her own talents and knowledge, she also saw how many forces were involved and oppressive. She knew that her position as the top scholar was not achieved by one person alone.

However, she would not allow herself to be trapped in such an unequal relationship.

"You want to praise me only for your own purposes." Liu Sheng said coldly.

"That's right." Zhang Chunxue did not hide it.

"I will not join any side, I hope you understand." Liu Sheng said with courage, "But I can cooperate with you."

Zhang Chunxue smiled slightly, seeming to think that she was a little naive and a little too self-important.

"I know you may think that I am just a chess piece to solve the mystery of the gods, and I am far from being equal to you." Liu Sheng continued.

"That's true." Zhang Chunxue nodded. "I almost thought you were blinded by the title of No. 1 Scholar."

"But I am more than that." Liu Sheng's eyes spread with golden lines, looking further away, and said in a firm tone.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Zhang Chunxue's eyes, and he wanted to hear what she was going to say next.

"I have a cooperation plan. I wonder if Lord Zhang would like to listen to it?" Liu Sheng asked.

Zhang Chunxue narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded.
