At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds

When the principal lunged at Lin Bei with his yellowish eyes wide open and baring his teeth, Lin Bei's face showed disgust.

When the principal arrived in front of him, a cold glint appeared in Lin Bei's eyes. He chuckled, raised his hand towards the principal, and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Xuanbing Longxiang."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature around Linbei dropped sharply.

The entire dark corridor was instantly covered in frost.

In that instant, a giant ice dragon appeared out of thin air, almost dominating the entire corridor and firmly blocking Lin Bei behind it.

The giant ice dragon charged directly at the principal, who had already transformed into a beast. The principal barked like a wild dog, seemingly unafraid of the giant ice dragon and showing no intention of stopping, crashing heavily into it.

The enormous ice dragon let out a roar that made the entire school building tremble, then opened its mouth, revealing fangs that exuded a chilling aura.

This ice dragon is so huge that it filled the entire corridor after it appeared, and now it opened its mouth, completely blocking the last gap.

The headmaster, already out of his mind, barked and charged at the ice dragon, his claws and teeth attacking relentlessly, trying to tear the ice dragon apart.

Unfortunately, how could a mere follower of an evil god possibly compete with Lin Beidou?

The ice dragon didn't even move, letting the principal rush into its mouth, with most of its body stuck inside.

The ice dragon suddenly closed its mouth, and its sharp teeth instantly pierced through the principal, tearing him in two.

After the principal's bloodied lower body fell to the ground, Lin Bei glanced coldly at the principal's remains, waved his hand to recall the giant ice dragon that was chewing, and turned to continue walking to the other end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor stood a large, black door with a huge lock. The door had strange patterns drawn with a dark red liquid that slowly dripped down, as if it had just been painted on.

The huge lock was also strange; the chain was wrapped around it more than ten times. It didn't seem to be preventing others from entering, but rather it seemed to be afraid that what was inside would come out.

Lin Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and used the black liquid to devour all the chains.

Just as the chains disappeared, the door in front of them creaked open with an unpleasant sound.

Lin Bei put his hands behind his back and strolled inside.

To Lin Bei's surprise, behind the door was a staircase leading down. The staircase looked rather rudimentary, as if it had been dug out temporarily. The steps were of varying sizes, and if one was not careful, one could slip and fall straight into the bottomless darkness below.

Lin Bei walked down the slope as if it were flat ground. He didn't know how long he walked down, but he vaguely heard some noises.

There were faint sobs, strange growls like those of wild beasts, and a strange sound that was like a child's laughter or the cawing of a crow.

Lin Bei continued downhill and finally stepped onto flat ground. Lin Bei remained calm and continued forward until he finally saw a glimmer of light around a corner.

He quietly turned the corner and stood in the darkness where the firelight couldn't reach, to see clearly what was going on at that corner.

It turned out to be a huge sacrificial site.

At the end of the corner, there is a huge grotto space. Judging from the new and old marks on the protruding stones on the wall, this space was temporarily dug out.

The space was quite large, with a circle in the very center surrounded by countless torches. On the ground of the circular space, there was an array drawn with dark red liquid.

An altar was placed directly in front of the formation.

Lin Bei recognized it at a glance; it was the same array and altar from the abandoned building from before.

It seems he guessed right. The Beast God had indeed hidden in the city center to avoid him, and deep underground at that.

Around the formation, there were fifty or sixty children under the age of ten. All of them had their hands and feet bound and their mouths stuffed with cloth. They all looked at the center of the formation with terrified eyes and occasionally let out whimpers.

At the very center of the formation, two people stood facing each other.

No, it shouldn't be called a person.

The one on the left, completely black, with a body shape resembling a wolf or a wild dog standing upright, is someone Lin Bei recognizes—it's the Beast God.

The other one was much smaller, a puppet about half the height of a person.

However, the puppet's head was broken, revealing a cloud of gray smoke inside. The smoke churned, and every now and then an eye would emerge from the gray smoke and then quickly slip away.

Lin Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, sensed the situation briefly, and immediately guessed who this person was.

Isn't this the evil god from "Rent a Sacrifice House"?
This was the third report he found. A woman in the city reported that her husband was suspected of joining a cult and intended to harm their daughter. The police had visited the home of the suspect, and the file stated "no abnormalities".

Lin Bei glanced at the family of three tied up in a corner behind the puppet, and noticed that each of their faces was covered with a book. He raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Unexpectedly, this family of three was tied up here. It seems that this evil god sensed the arrival of the beastly evil god and was afraid that it would affect his plans, so he acted in advance.

In the original story of "Rent a Sacrifice House", Xiao Ning and Ke Wen were a loving couple with a lovely daughter named Ying Ying.

They own two apartments, using one to pay off the mortgage on the other. However, one day, a tenant damaged the apartment and maliciously ran away, making repairs expensive.

Since the family was struggling financially, Xiao Ning suggested that they move to an apartment and then rent out the old house.

At first, Cowen disagreed, but when an elderly retired doctor came to view the house, Cowen strangely agreed.

After the old house was rented out, Xiao Ning's family of three experienced a dramatic change.

First, the neighbors at the old house complained about strange noises at night. Then, Ke Wen also seemed to be behaving abnormally, as if he had joined some kind of cult.

The daughter, Yingying, seemed to be haunted by ghosts.

Everything left Xiao Ning exhausted, but in order to protect her daughter Yingying, she began to investigate everything.

As Xiao Ning uncovered the truth, she realized that the tenants who moved into their house were not doctors at all, but the leader of a cult.

The cult leader had long been eyeing Xiao Ning's family of three because their daughter, Yingying, was the perfect vessel for their evil god.

Furthermore, during their stay, they successfully recruited her husband, Ke Wen, into their group, all to make it easier to win over Yingying, their perfect vessel.

Up to this point, the original storyline is still intact.

But with Lin Bei's arrival, all the plots in this world became intertwined.

The Beast God came to provoke Lin Bei and was almost killed. After returning to his territory, he was so frightened that he led his followers to the city center, occupied the school, and dug a sacrificial site beneath it.

But this school is also where Yingying attends. Just when the Beast God wanted to sacrifice children under ten years old to enhance his power, the evil god in the puppet was unhappy.

How could its perfect container be coveted by anything else?
How could the puppet god tolerate a mere beast transformed into a god coveting his possessions?

Just as the Beast God was about to sacrifice all the children, the Puppet God arrived with his followers.

The two groups of believers fought fiercely in this underground sacrificial site, and soon all of them fell, leaving only the Beast God and the Puppet God standing face to face, seemingly at the moment of the final battle.

As luck would have it, Lin Bei arrived at this crucial moment.

Looking at the scene in the sacrificial site, Lin Bei noticed that besides the living children, there were also many dead believers on the ground.

He was immediately at a loss for words, and when he glanced at the Beast God and the Puppet God, he found that both of them were completely focused on each other and hadn't noticed his arrival for a moment.

Lin Bei shook his head. It seemed that these two evil gods were nothing special, and were not worth mentioning.

If it were someone truly powerful, they would have noticed someone approaching immediately. Thinking this, Lin Bei didn't bother to hide it. He slowly walked into the sacrificial ground and spoke calmly.

"They're all here, which saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

The sudden sound startled both the Beast God and the Puppet God, who then turned to look at each other.

The moment the Beast God saw Lin Bei, the black smoke emanating from its body surged even more violently.

Lin Bei could tell at a glance that the guy was scared, and couldn't help but find it amusing.

"We meet again, why are you still afraid? Didn't you know I would come looking for you?"

The puppet god on the other side had never seen Lin Bei before, nor did he know how capable this human was.

It only used its eye, which occasionally peeked out from the gray mist of its broken head, to scrutinize Lin Bei.

However, the puppet god was more intelligent than the beast god, and it could clearly sense that this guy who had suddenly barged into the sacrificial site was not someone to be trifled with.

The puppet god subconsciously took a half step back, a movement that Lin Bei immediately noticed.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Puppet God of Evil was much more perceptive than the Beast God of Evil.

But that’s about it.

They're all evil gods, so who can be more noble than the other?

Lin Bei walked into the array drawn with dark red liquid and stopped in front of the two evil gods.

Lin Bei shrugged and spoke slowly in a casual tone.

"Since you're already here, it's not really appropriate to just send you to your deaths. How about this, I'll give you a chance to show your abilities. If you can, you might even have a chance to kill me."

Both the Beast God and the Puppet God were stunned upon hearing Lin Bei's words.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a request. Was there something wrong with this human?
Having witnessed Lin Bei's power, the Beast God quickly realized that Lin Bei was qualified to say such things.

But the puppet god on the side was different.

It had no idea that a human being, who was above all things, had appeared in the world, and that this human being was standing right in front of it.

It assumed that this human must have prayed to some deity for protection, which was why he was not afraid of them, the evil gods.

The eyes hidden in the gray mist darted around, and a hoarse, sinister voice came from somewhere.

"Human... if you are so arrogant, you will die. Compared to the horror of death, you should become a believer. I can give you power that is more powerful than that of the gods, a power that can grant you eternal life."

Regardless, the fact that this human was able to come here all by himself is enough to show that he/she is quite capable.

If we can bring him to our side, then driving away the beast god will not be a problem at all.

Yes, that's right.

If two evil gods are evenly matched, they cannot kill each other.

All they can do is drive the other side out and then completely occupy the land.

Originally, whichever of them arrived first would own the school's territory.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on them; they arrived at the school at the same time and sensed each other's presence simultaneously.

A major war was destined to break out at any moment.

Lin Bei remained unmoved by the puppet god's attempts to win him over.

He knew, of course, that the puppet god wasn't lying.

In the original storyline, the puppet god helped its followers by having their souls possess bodies to constantly change bodies. Isn't that a kind of immortality?
However, Lin Bei was not interested.

He ignored the puppet god and simply sighed softly.

"So why aren't you making a move? If you don't, I'm going to."

These words sounded ordinary, but to the beast god, they were undoubtedly a countdown to death.

When it was first born, it felt that its body was filled with the power of countless lonely ghosts and spirits, and it could also vaguely sense that there were not many beings on this land who could defeat it.

Therefore, it only harbored provocative thoughts after sensing Lin Bei's presence.

Little did they know that if they hadn't provoked them, things would have been fine, but once they came to test and provoke them, they almost died there.

There are such powerful beings among humans.

But there is nothing we can do now.

After all, it was a clone before, and it could withdraw its power at any time.

What's in the sacrificial site now is its true form.

Just as Lin Bei said, if it doesn't resist, then death is all that awaits it.

The more the beast god thought about it, the more frightened it became, and the more frightened it became, the more restless its beastly instincts became.

Fear is often a highly effective agent for driving force.

Just as Lin Bei's voice was still echoing in the sacrificial ground, the Beast God couldn't take it anymore. Rather than waiting to be killed by this human, he decided to fight to the death and maybe he could actually fight for a chance to survive!
The beast god roared, and black smoke suddenly surged from its body. It originally had a human form, but as the black smoke spread in all directions, it gradually disappeared from the spot.

Before long, black smoke swirled around the entire sacrificial site, and unknown barking sounds came from all directions, assaulting the eardrums of humans.

The children were terrified by the scene and cried even louder.

Amidst the sobbing and crying, Lin Bei stretched his neck, not even glancing around.

He stood there lazily, glancing up at the puppet god.

"Aren't you going to help it? If I were you, I wouldn't be standing here like an idiot. I'd kill me with it, let it devour my power, and then you'd become the strongest being in this world, wouldn't you?"

The puppet god was stunned, not expecting this human to say such a thing.

It was Lin Bei's reminder that finally made it notice the alluring fragrance emanating from him.

That's the smell of power.

If we had this power, why would we need to live this life of hiding and collecting believers?
It can be above all gods, and all the people of the world are its believers!

The gray fog in the puppet god's head churned even more violently.

Its eyes darted around rapidly, as if it had been persuaded by Lin Bei's enticing method.

The next second, the puppet god let out a piercing "hehe" laugh, and vanished from the spot in a flash. (End of Chapter)
