Please control me, my divine being!

After the girl killed the evil spirit enshrined in the Zhang family ancestral hall, Zhou Qing unlocked this scroll card collection album.

Only one card is lit up: [Evil Soul - Zhang Family Ancestor - Qingyang].

You can summon this evil spirit to fight by consuming three points of divine power.

Fighting alone underwater would be too difficult for Li Qinghe, and with the limitation of the breathing bar, her chances of winning against the strangely behaving Pang Ziyue were pitifully low.

After Zhou Qing dragged the card to this special battlefield chessboard, a new badge piece quickly appeared.

[Zhang Qingyang: Evil Spirit State, Divine Blessing, Physical Immunity!]

Physical immunity, right?

The previous version of Qingyang probably didn't have this entry.

Therefore, the demons and evil creatures that were included in the painting might become even stronger after being summoned again through divine power. It's just unknown whether they will return to the painting after they die in battle.

But it doesn't matter, I wouldn't feel sorry if I died.

Zhou Qing observed the chessboard.

[Battleground: The Resting Place of the River Lord of the Turbid River]

[Field Effects: Slow, Suffocate, Entangling, Divine Power]

【Battle Character:】

Li Qinghe, a believer (of great achievements), a devout follower, a skilled monk, a master of chopping, and a butcher with a wood-chopping knife.

Zhang Qingyang, an evil spirit, blessed by the gods.

The chess piece badges in the battle arena now display buffs that have never been seen before.

The girl's status bar is usually filled with many strange statuses, and even emotional fluctuations and psychological changes will sometimes generate entries.

Therefore, Zhou Qing had become accustomed to those frequently occurring situations.

Furthermore, during battles, descriptive terms will be generated at any time.

This time, however, these terms are appearing for the first time, and unlike the fleeting states of the past, they all have permanent properties and will not disappear at will.

[Belief - Great Achievement: You are no longer lost, no longer confused, you have rediscovered the pursuit of life - to burn away the world's deep-seated ailments.]

The existence of this entry indicates that you possess leadership qualities, capable of influencing those who are lost, inspiring them to follow you and strive for a shared great cause.

[Pious believer: A devout person who, under the guidance of God, has reshaped their understanding of the world and is willing to give their life to achieve great deeds.]

The existence of this entry will grant high resistance to the vast majority of mental attacks.

This entry can be upgraded; the next level is "Fanboy".

[Master of the Hall: Those who have undergone three major rituals and are able to sit in a hall are called Masters of the Hall, and are born from the lineage of the common people and the martial arts world.]

Effect: You will receive the special blessing of "Toothed Man" and will have a suppressive effect when facing fellow cultivators of the same path who are lower level than you.

This entry can be upgraded; the next level is "Grandmaster of the Sect".

[Chopping Master: Day after day of chopping wood has honed your knife skills to an excellent level. Now you find that chopping people is even easier than chopping wood.]

If this entry exists, your slashes will cause more severe damage.

This entry can be upgraded; the next level is "Master of Knife Techniques".

Four special entries, arranged below the chess piece badge, gleamed brightly.

Zhou Qing was quite certain that none of these things existed before he killed Qin Hongshi.

Clearly, it was because of her guidance during this period, coupled with what the girl had seen and heard, that she understood that her mother did not die because of a random natural disaster.

Even without sores, something else can take a life.

The disease is not in people, but in the god who caused it all, and in this corrupt world.

"We don't need to worry about her having a mental breakdown now, but given the situation, there's no guarantee she'll survive."

Zhou Qing looked towards the other side of the battlefield.

This battlefield, known as "the resting place of the River Lord of the Turbid River," was largely shrouded in darkness, and Zhou Qing could only see the squares surrounding his two chess pieces.

On all the battlefield squares shrouded in darkness, clicking on them will reveal the name of the BOSS:

[The Manifested Holy Lord of the Vast and Turbid River: Life connection, inability to be chosen, slumber, weakness, evil sores, illness, madness, extinguished incense offerings, obscured divine registers, and shattered divine body.]

Clearly, this guy has become one with the battlefield, not even showing his health bar, making him impossible to hit.

The only way to destroy Him is from another angle.

Zhou Qing looked at the badge of another enemy piece on a square of the battlefield chessboard.

[Pang Ziyue: Life connection, vulnerability, backlash, destruction of Dharma body, severe injuries, confused will, madness.]

"The term 'life link' can harm Pang Ziyue and also Hebo."

Zhou Qing moved the chess piece "Evil Soul Zhang Qingyang" directly in front of the girl and launched an attack on Pang Ziyue.

As the two pieces collided.

Bright red numbers appeared above Pang Ziyue's head.

Compared to her long health bar, this attack only reduced her health by a tiny bit.

As a result, a damage effect also popped up on his own piece. This was because of Pang Ziyue's "reflect damage" attribute, which caused it to look like this.

Zhou Qing frowned.

Do we have to use "knife coins"?

The damage from that attack made him instantly realize that even if he wore down Zhang Qingyang, he still wouldn't be able to empty Pang Ziyue's health bar.

However, just as he was deep in thought, "Li Qinghe" on the chessboard suddenly rushed forward.

The battles are not turn-based.

Previously, Zhou Qing manipulated the girl to evade enemy attacks by dragging chess pieces.

This requires a lot of quick thinking, so sometimes after a battle, Zhou Qing would be flustered and drenched in sweat.

Just like now, if you lose focus even slightly, the chess pieces will start to have their own ideas.

"Should we attack?"

After glancing at Li Qinghe's healthy health bar, Zhou Qing did not stop him, as the rebound damage was not enough to seriously injure him.

If that doesn't work, let the girl escape after one attack, wait for her health bar to automatically regenerate, and then slowly whittle her down. That's also a way to clear the game.

After all, the girl has a level three power blessing, so as long as the injury is not serious, she can breathe and recover her blood.

However, after Li Qinghe's chess piece collided, the situation changed.

First, Pang Ziyue suffered extremely abnormal damage; her health bar dropped drastically at a visible speed, which can be described as violent.

Then, on the battlefield chessboard, a square shrouded in darkness suddenly lit up, and a tentacle-like chess piece coalesced on it.

[River God's Tentacles: Immune Control, Negative Immune State, Vulnerability]

This thing's health bar is showing!

Zhou Qing immediately dragged Zhang Qingyang's chess piece and rammed it into the River God's whiskers.

Just one strike.

The tendril broke off.

Then the square where the whiskers were located lit up, no longer shrouded in darkness, and clicking on it no longer displayed the words "Manifesting Sage, Profound and Vast Abyss, Turbid River Lord".

Zhou Qing immediately looked at the task next to him: [Exterminate the River God].

Although the River God's health bar is not visible on the battlefield chessboard, it is displayed as a percentage completion rate in the quest log.

After cutting off one of the tentacles, the overall mission completion rate suddenly increased by ten percent.

"Therefore, after nine more attacks, we can kill the River God."

Zhou Qing was overjoyed and looked at the battle log next to him, trying to figure out why there had been such a critical hit.

Pang Ziyue suffered double the damage due to the keyword "fragile".

[Li Qinghe dealt double damage due to the stat "Slashing Master".]
