Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

Magic Power: ? ? ? ? ? (Amount of magic power in the Redwater City area)

Lucky:

Skills: [Wisdom of a Thousand Deceased], [Soul Collapse], [Body Transference], [Family of Despair]...

Class: [King of Desperate Souls]

As a veteran powerhouse with a vast amount of experience and accumulated strength, Felicity's individual strength is enough to easily defeat Bell, and she already caused great trouble for Redwater City during her second rebellion.

With the existence of the Sea of ​​Depravity, and without a large number of powerful bishops within the church to besiege her, Feli has nothing to fear. She can even quietly revive under the strict control of the church.

Her status as a queen is also different from that of Bel, the lord of the bamboo forest.

Bell is the "Beast King" because the dead in the Bamboo Sea area are mainly various wild beasts and magical creatures. The reason Bell became the king was to save those magical creatures in this area.

However, the reason for Feli's birth was that these modified mother bodies, with their strong will and condensed souls, made her a dead being. Therefore, Feli's power was more inclined towards the soul side, making her the [King of Desperate Souls].

“I saw the way to become a god from the wisdom of the deceased. Only mythical-level powerhouses are qualified to rewrite the underlying rules of the world. I want to modify the existence of the Crimson Light Essence potion, so I must become a god.”

Although Felicity is powerful, she cannot move around freely like Bell. If she moves too obviously, she will attract the church's siege.

There are many prerequisites for becoming a god. Feli, who has difficulty moving freely, needs a proxy to act in the human world to help her fulfill those prerequisites, while leaving the rest of the tasks to her.

The path to godhood is extremely perilous; even if all the prerequisites are met, the chances of success are frighteningly low.

But even if it costs her her life, Felicia is determined to become a god and change this social reality.

"Outsider king, I swear by the existence of the [King of Desperate Souls], I beg for your help. If my plan succeeds, I will reward you with my divine fire and divinity. If I fail, you will receive from me the method to become a god and the wisdom of the dead accumulated over the years."

In order to get Bell's help, Felicity was quite willing to pay a high price, and the reward she offered made Bell's pupils shrink, and he was shocked.

If he agrees, Felicity's oath will bind her to the grave, and Bell will be guaranteed a method to become a god, as well as nearly a thousand years of wisdom from the deceased in the Redwater City region.

But this level of gain seems so insignificant compared to the feedback Felicity received after her success.

Upon becoming a god, Felicia only asked to alter the reality of the Crimson Light Essence; she asked for nothing more. She was willing to give up even the most precious things for a deity: her divine essence and divine fire.

Bell was paid as compensation.

The allure of such a reward was so great that it even shook Bell's absolute rationality under the "Fire-Loving Wisdom" state.

But on second thought, Bell could understand why Feli was willing to give up everything. For Feli, no matter how powerful she became, it would not bring her any happiness. She was born from a despairing soul, and everything she did was to free her from the despairing soul that had been born from the essence of the crimson light over the years.

The intense desire to achieve this goal far outweighed Phili's desire to live. She didn't even care about the complete annihilation of her existence, so why would she care about divinity and divine fire?

Bell was the only outsider she had encountered during her many years of hiding, and he was also the king of the Fallen Sea with whom she could cooperate deeply.

If she had missed Bell, she didn't know how many more years she would have had to lie low before getting another good opportunity like this. Heaven knows how much despair and pain she would have endured during those years.

"You're incredibly insane to solve this problem by modifying the underlying logic of the world, but I like it."

Bell found Felicity's plan outrageous, but he could see a slim chance of it succeeding, however small, but that chance was enough.

Bell agrees to help Feli complete her plan to become a god. He will not only help her, but also do everything in his power to elevate Feli to godhood. This is not only to maximize his own interests, but also to bring peace to Bell's heart.

“I have shared the entire plan with your consciousness. This is the Crimson Essence. Ever since my successful resurrection a hundred years ago, I have been secretly collecting and preserving the Crimson Essence. It is the key to our plan.”

By parting a corner of the Sea of ​​Depravity, Felicity showed Bell a large amount of crimson marrow stored in a separate space.

This is a small space she created, where there is no concept of time, so it can store a large amount of crimson marrow. Now all of this crimson marrow has been given to Bell to realize her plan to become a god.

"I will bring good news when we meet next time."

After saying goodbye to Feli, Bell had a sudden thought, and the shadow covering his body suddenly came to life, instantly dragging Bell into the shadow world and disappearing without a trace from the underground base.

The shadow's teleportation worked as well as ever, and as Feli watched Bell leave, the figure that had been formed in the Sea of ​​Sinking quickly dissipated into nothingness.

She spent her days in this state of being scattered among the remaining wisdom of countless deceased people, in order to evade the church's routine searches.

The inability to move freely and spread her influence is Felicity's biggest disadvantage, but Bell's presence makes up for this shortcoming.

"Redwater City and the Church... can you stop me this time...?"

A faint murmur drifted through the Sea of ​​Depravity. The Mothers, imprisoned in glass rooms with blank expressions, all looked up, their eyes flashing with an unreadable light.

But a moment later, these mothers returned to their dazed and foolish state, without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Above ground, in the house Bell had just rented, a thick shadow appeared on the cube-shaped bed. When the shadow dissipated, Bell had successfully returned.

When Acorn saw Bell return, he greeted her cheerfully. The [Psychedelic Pleasure] state was giving Acorn a very good experience.

Bell, who had reappeared, stretched and grinned at the acorn:

"The leisurely days are over, Acorn, it's time for us to get things going."

Thanks for the donation! *clang clang clang*

Chapter 224 The Crimson God Who Relieves Suffering

Raging Waves Canyon is the largest and most dangerous area within Chishui City, producing the most high-level resources. Apart from Chishui City's core revenue product, Chiguang Essence, the resource output of Raging Waves Canyon alone is enough to put Chishui City on the verge of becoming one of the top four cities.

However, obtaining resources from Raging Tide Canyon is an extremely dangerous undertaking. The Adventurers' Guild does not recommend that adventurers below level 20 enter it, and it is not uncommon for even level 30 adventurers to perish in Raging Tide Canyon.

In this horizontal comparison, the significance of Crimson Light Essence, an extremely safe resource, to Crimson Water City is self-evident.

Although Bell and Acorn's actual combat strength far exceeds their own level, they are not prepared to venture into dangerous areas in the short term, but they are contacting those who have left permanent wounds in Raging Tides Canyon.

"The goblin guides are indeed very reliable. The various districts of Chishui City are just as they described, with each area having a distinct function."

"But compared to those prosperous areas, this place seems too dilapidated. Apart from the people's better mental state, it is no different from Huangtan City."

Bell and Acorn arrived at the cheapest part of Redwater City, where the lower classes lived. The area here was completely different from the commercial district, which was full of foreign adventurers.

By scanning the area with [Information Insight], Bell discovered that the average level of people here fluctuated around level seven. If they were in other cities in the southwest region, they would be able to make a living.

However, in a city like Chishui, one of the top four cities, these people could only be the lowest-level laborers, because there were talents from the entire southwest region, better educational conditions, and more resources for growth.

In this environment, without an individual level of at least level 10, it is impossible to escape the bottom.

But if these people were asked to leave Chishui City and try to make a living in other cities, they would be even more unwilling.

Even though they knew in their hearts that the prosperity of Chishui City had little to do with them, as long as they could see the prosperity of Chishui City from the poorest part of the city, they would never leave this big city.

This is the power of dreams. All the people struggling to survive in Chishui City yearn to one day rise above others. Even if they cannot rise above others, they hope that their children can enjoy the prosperity of Chishui City.

Wandering through the poorest districts, Bell spun a part of his consciousness into the unconscious thoughts of ordinary people, and his ability to create dreams quietly activated.

Bell can see these people's fantasies and desires through dreams. He weaves new dreams and asks about the acorn's dream.

"The existence of dreams can drive people to overcome all kinds of difficulties, and people's beliefs are also a terrible force. Entrust your dreams to faith, and I will respond to your expectations."

Unlike the commotion caused when he constructed the dreamscape within Huangtan City, this time Bell's collective dreamscape was successfully completed without the outside world noticing.

Because the core of this group's dream is no longer a rootless bubble of inheritance, but Bell's own dream.

The core of the collective dream system is Bell's mental cabin, as long as the mental cabin is not flooded by the outside world.

If a large number of chaotic thoughts collapse, then the collective dream can last forever.

However, the drawbacks of constructing a dream in this way are also obvious. This dream requires Bell's personal implementation and control, which takes up a lot of his time and energy. If he encounters a mental breakdown, Bell must also disconnect the group dream from his own fantasy dream in time to prevent his own mind from being backfired.

Allowing external thoughts into one's mental world is a risky thing that no strong person with even a slight development of their mental world would do, because it could cause serious injury if one is not careful.

But Bell said he didn't care about such things; influenced by his fellow countrymen, he didn't think it was a big deal at all.

The red-haired lady has disassembled and reassembled her soul and personality so much that she almost doesn't remember who she is anymore, and she's still living a good life. Bell felt that his actions were less than one percent as dangerous as those fellow villagers' reckless behavior.

"I need to find people with enough potential to receive the gifts I give."

Bell continuously sifted through the complex consciousness flooding into his mental world, selecting those down-on-their-luck individuals who met his development criteria—these were the potential followers Bell intended to cultivate.

The first step in Feli's plan to become a god was to have a group of devout and loyal believers who would acknowledge the existence of Feli as a deity and pray to her continuously.

This is a necessary means to ascend to godhood through the power of faith. Among the many methods to break through to the mythical level, becoming a god through faith is undoubtedly the most widely spread method.

Many races have their racial gods in this way: the faith of an entire race nurtures the god, and this mythical being, a powerful being, then feeds back into the race's development.

According to Feli's calculations, if 50,000 individuals at level 10 or above acknowledge the concept of Feli's existence, then the concept of "God Feli" would have the potential to become a reality.

However, in Bell's on-the-ground promotion, he certainly wouldn't simply refer to Phili as "Goddess Phili." Phili's full title now is "Goddess of Red Light Who Lifts People from Suffering."

The reason it is called this name is that after acknowledging Phyllis's existence as a god, the generation of faith power must involve Phyllis's specific abilities and specific forms.

This is the second step in Bell and Feli's plan: to instill in all believers that Feli can relieve all suffering, and that as long as they pray sincerely, Feli will answer their prayers and make suffering disappear from them.

At this point, the power of faith will gradually emerge, and under the blessing of this faith, Feli will become increasingly divine.

But becoming a god is not so easy. If there were only a base of faith, the world would have been full of mythical powerhouses long ago. How could it be that there are no mythical powerhouses active on the entire continent?

Moreover, even if Phili overcomes all the difficulties of becoming a god, acquiring a sufficient number of believers and faith will always be a major challenge.

Because of the existence of the church, the existence of heterodox beliefs is strictly prohibited throughout the world.

The Church is a monotheistic religion. They lead the vast majority of humanity in this world to offer their faith to a single god, even if this god has not performed any miracles or answered any priest's prayers for thousands of years. The Church's overall faith in the god has not diminished in the slightest.

In this world, those who worship other gods for personal gain will face terrible persecution once the church discovers their intentions.

The church's attitude is simple: eradicate all heresy at any cost.

Chapter 225 Entrusting My Heart to the Crimson Light God

"Although Felicity bore most of the pressure of this project, the burden on my shoulders was not light either."

As the sun set, Bell selected the dreams of several promising candidates, preparing to launch his operation after they had rested.
