Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 787 Honoring Taoism, worshipping the Three Pure Ones, the Three Great Immortals are quite prominent.
Having stuffed countless pieces of vulture flesh and blood into its mouth, the little monster, its eyes glowing green, seemed to have regained its sanity.

However, this was not a good thing, because it saw an even more horrifying scene.

The small demons, like jackals and hyenas, and the vultures that originally had air superiority, were all turned into still slightly warm corpses, including the fattest vulture thighs in their beaks, which were freshly torn from the carcasses.

"Are you full? If you're full, it's time to get back to work."

The little monster, whose brain couldn't process too much information at once, looked up sharply and saw a huge black shadow looming over its head, as if it could even block out the sunlight.

This was naturally Cheng Tian and his group, who had just slaughtered all the monsters blocking their way. The most imposing black shadow was none other than the big guy, Smart Head.

Although the little monster's brain wasn't working well, the fullness of its stomach restored its rationality, immediately prompting it to make a move.

That means kneeling down and kowtowing without hesitation!
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!!!!!"

It's as if it's a meme infection imprinted in the genes of these little demons; almost all of them can call the human king and kneel down to beg for mercy without any instruction.

Look at how hard it was for that little devil to hit his head on the ground, blood is spurting out.

The little monster had only kowtowed a dozen times when Clever Head grabbed its nearly empty belly, which was swollen from eating too many vultures, and easily lifted it off the ground.

"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

Cheng Tian said to Xiao Yao with a strange expression.

"Speak freely and without reservation!"

To Cheng Tian's surprise, this little demon was surprisingly quite knowledgeable.

Cheng Tian mainly inquired about the situation in Chechi Kingdom, which was not far from here. Similar to the safe zone like Chenjiazhuang, Chechi Kingdom might also have many changes different from the original work.

Soon, Xiao Yao provided some answers that Cheng Tian needed.

The situation in Chechi Kingdom was more complicated than imagined. It had transformed from a purely human city into a city where humans and demons coexisted. Furthermore, the three immortals, who were already the national advisors, had wielded power beyond the limits of the national advisors.

Judging from the surrounding environment alone, the drought here is more severe than imagined, which means that Chechi Kingdom is extremely dependent on the three immortals for rain, and is almost completely at the mercy of them.

The situation is quite similar to that of Chenjiazhuang, only more intense.

Water is the source of life, and food is the foundation of a nation. Given the aridity of the surrounding environment, only the Chechi Kingdom region can enjoy rainfall. The siphon effect on the surrounding population, and even the monsters, is unimaginable.

Since becoming the national preceptor, the entire country has exclusively revered Taoism, placing Buddhists directly within the Taoist community as laborers, assigning them all the hard and tiring tasks, such as working in quarries and on construction sites.

It was from this time that Buddhism and monks became universally reviled in Chechi Kingdom, while Taoism and Taoist priests became the privileged class of Chechi Kingdom.

Based on the requests of the three immortals, Chechi Kingdom gradually relaxed its restrictions on monsters entering the city, eventually leading to the current situation of mixed living.

Of course, the Three Immortals don't just take any random person. They only take demons who respect Taoism, worship the Three Pure Ones, and are willing and able to cultivate Taoist magic.

These three immortals, Tiger, Deer, and Sheep, dreamed of becoming true immortals!

As for the little monster in Clever Head's hands, it was eliminated because it couldn't comprehend the Daoist magic and could only eke out a living in the surrounding area.

After listening to Xiao Yao's embellished description, Cheng Tian's expression remained unchanged. In fact, the situation in Chechi Kingdom was almost exactly as he had planned, perfectly matching his expectations.

Cheng Tian had no intention of getting into a conflict with the three great immortals of Chechi Kingdom.

On the contrary, he planned to try to see if he could establish a friendly relationship with the three immortals based on his current template identity and position.

Ultimately, Cheng Tian was not a disciple of Tang Sanzang who needed to obtain scriptures, not to mention that he had also caused quite a conflict with the Putuo Mountain side.

A demonic force that reveres Taoism, worships the Three Pure Ones, and highly values ​​Taoist practices is clearly more conducive to Cheng Tian's plot development and exploration.

Cheng Tian does indeed prefer to solve problems through fighting and killing, and he has always done so. But sometimes, trying to use human relationships and social skills might be quite interesting.

"Fine, I'll spare your life."

In a good mood, Cheng Tian waved his hand, signaling Smart Head to put the little monster down.

Even after Cheng Tian and his group, who had collected the ordinary treasure chests, had gone far away, the little monster was still frantically kowtowing on the spot.

After a while, the little monster, whose forehead had even dried up, paused for a moment, then pulled off another leg from a vulture's corpse and chased after the direction where Cheng Tian and the others had disappeared.

Before long, Cheng Tian and his group arrived at the western gate of Chechi Kingdom.

Unlike the surrounding environment, which is so arid it's appalling, the situation in Chechi Kingdom is much better. There is abundant and healthy vegetation, and the air is quite humid, just like an oasis in the desert.

Then look at the city itself.

The city was well-fortified, with wide streets and gates guarded by fully armed soldiers, making it a very typical ancient fortress city.

Not long ago, Cheng Tian had just come out of the "Branded Knight" instance and had seen the Golden Fortress of Grand Duke Garibaldi, so he couldn't help but compare the city in front of him with the Golden Fortress.

Well, things from home always feel more comfortable to look at; they have a unique charm that no other civilization possesses.

The towering city walls could not block Cheng Tian's all-seeing eye at all. With just a light sweep, Cheng Tian had thoroughly scanned the entire country of Chechi.

Restaurants, teahouses, and shops were all readily available, and the local life was quite prosperous. Compared to this, Chenjiazhuang really was just a village.

But the most eye-catching is the Sanqing Temple, located in the very heart of the city.

The temple was a complex of halls and pavilions, with numerous corridors and towers. A large amount of incense smoke gathered together and lingered in the air above the Sanqing Temple for a long time, which shows the importance of Taoism in Chechi Kingdom.

Just across the street, Cheng Tian saw some monks, their robes tattered and their faces covered in dust, being roughly driven away by several Taoist priests in robes.

Seeing the monks being treated this way, the surrounding crowd showed no pity whatsoever; instead, they all clapped and praised them.

Among these Taoist priests, there were not only humans, but also monsters whose forms were incomplete!
Almost at the same time that Cheng Tian's Heavenly Eye swept through Chechi Kingdom, the three immortals who were originally in their respective Taoist temples suddenly jumped up from their prayer mats and looked towards the west gate with surprise and uncertainty.

Such undisguised spiritual exploration is indeed rare...

Whether they are friend or foe, we'll find out soon enough!
