I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

The surrounding space trembled again.

Lu Ban heard that amidst the cursing and swearing, he had turned even greener.

“From this day forward, you shall obey my commandments.”

Lu Ban continued.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

"First, wash your hands frequently, ventilate your home often, and avoid crowded places."

A detached yet powerful voice echoed in the basement.

Everyone was momentarily stunned by Lu Ban's words.

Lei Ting pondered for a moment, his mind racing, and soon he had an answer.

These precepts may seem like just about paying attention to personal hygiene, but they are actually extremely important.

As is well known, believers of the Father have "stigmata" on their bodies to varying degrees. These marks are easily visible, so they wear heavy coats to cover them up.

Frequent handwashing and good ventilation refer to keeping yourself clean and avoiding being discovered by others.

The saying "avoid crowds" applies to the same principle: keep yourself out of the way and keep a low profile.

Only in this way can we preserve our strength and wait for the day when the Heavenly Father descends.

"I understand!"

Thunder answered first.

The others nodded in agreement. Although they didn't know what Lei Ting had figured out, since he had said he understood, wouldn't it be foolish for them to still be clueless?

Seeing that they all understood, Lu Ban continued.

"Secondly, do good deeds and go where people need you."

Chapter 876 We Unite!

"Do more good deeds?"

Thunder was completely baffled by this statement.

Moreover, where do people need them?

He didn't understand at all.

At that moment, a man with crystallized eyes suddenly stood up beside Lei Ting.

"I understand."

"What did you understand?"

The others were equally confused, so when someone suddenly stood up and said they understood, it was naturally a good thing, and they all asked him questions.

"The oracle means that we cannot only look at ourselves, but must help others and win their hearts. Without their support, even if we can help everyone in Utopia ascend, it will only repeat the current situation. Everyone will still fight their own battles and will not be able to unite."

He said this while clenching his fist, as if trying to unite everyone into one.

"We must unite and unite all forces that can be united! Now, the citizens of Utopia certainly need our help, and we must help them as much as possible so that Utopia can go further when the new era arrives!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ban expectantly, trying to gain the approval of the gods.

Lu Ban didn't answer. He felt that these people were thinking too much; he himself hadn't thought that far ahead.

Since they say so, then so be it.

"Thirdly, learn more, explore more, and broaden your horizons."

"Article Four..."

Lu Ban racked his brains, his whole body twitching, and finally managed to come up with ten precepts.

"Article 10: Go to bed early and get up early to strengthen your body."

Every time he said something, the members of the Shifting Sands Council would discuss it animatedly and come up with a set of guidelines for action.

"Indeed, even if we can't finish our work, we still need to balance work and rest."

"Yes, yes, only with ample experience can we cope with potential crises."

"I've decided, starting today, I'll be an early riser!"

The members of the Shifting Sands Council quickly recorded these commandments and their corresponding interpretations, which were then placed in a room on the third floor as the "Ten Commandments of the Father."

Lu Ban figured that these people probably wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble for the time being, so he decided to retreat.

After all, he had been gone for too long. Perhaps those who were following him were getting impatient and were spying on him from outside his house.

“I will continue to send down divine pronouncements, and you should keep the commandments and praise my name.”

Lu Ban then said.

Praise be to God the Father!

Thunder spoke first.

Praise be to God the Father!

Others echoed this.

Lu Ban heard the Father's incoherent murmurs again.

He contentedly dissolved himself and disappeared into the ground.

After Lu Ban left, Lei Ting glanced at the others.

"Everyone, the Father has already shown us the way for what we are about to do. You should all know what to do, right?"

The others in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Lord Thunder, I feel that what the [Heavenly Father] said is somewhat strange."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of people looking at him.

"No, what I mean is, these precepts are all good, but isn't it a bit different from the style of what we've been doing before?"

He hurriedly offered his explanation.

"The revelations from God are usually vague because God never cares about what humans think or do. That's why we need people to listen to God's instructions and interpret them for believers."

Lei Ting wasn't angry; instead, he slowly explained.

After all, maintaining a calm and peaceful mind and treating others kindly are also precepts left by Lu Ban.

“Our previous understanding of God’s revelation was flawed, but now the Father has personally revealed himself and corrected us. This is proof of our piety.”

Lei Ting gently patted the other person's shoulder.

"Praise be to the Father, who has given us lost souls the only salvation."

Praise be to God the Father!

Praise be to God the Father!

Everyone lowered their heads again and began to chant.

"Let's start with cleaning."

Seeing that everyone was extremely devout, Lei Ting said.

……

Almost simultaneously, somewhere in the wilderness.

Above a sand dune, the sky was dark, and clouds that hadn't been seen in the desert for decades were gathering. Within those deep black clouds, red lightning snaked and twisted. Where the dark clouds covered, torrential rain soaked the sand, washing away the sharp particles on the surface and revealing the earth's true form.

If you could look down at the earth from high above, you would see that this cloud formation stretches for thousands of kilometers and covers almost all of the land visible to the naked eye.

In the heart of the torrential rain, the water gathered into a vast ocean, where things buried beneath the sand and gravel for hundreds of years were being unearthed in the torrents, life was being nurtured, and a fierce struggle was taking place against the drastically changing environment.

On the edge of the downpour, a figure stood up from the sand, cursing and swearing.

Although he has a body similar in size to a human, his lower body is made up of countless slippery, octopus-like tentacles, while his upper body is wrapped in a yellow protective suit. He appears to have no arms or normal limbs, and there is a huge, completely transparent helmet in front of his head, through which his head can be seen.

The head was round and chubby, with eyes scattered around it, peering out. It had no mouth, nose, or ears, only countless eyes that opened and closed on its bald head.

fo

Within his tentacles, he held a bizarre statue.

If Lu Ban were here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance; it is exactly the same as the [benevolent statue of the Heavenly Father].

"Who on earth is capable of interfering with my communications?"

The monster's eyes kept opening and closing, the complex flashing forming a message that revealed its thoughts.

Chosen by the gods, I have come from my own world to another realm to complete missions many times, but this mission is of unprecedented difficulty: [Glory].

However, the objective of the mission is quite simple: to help one faction achieve victory.

For him, destroying a city was an easy task, let alone helping them win.

He simply couldn't imagine how difficult this task could be.

However, after learning about the characteristics of that city, he did not rush in, but instead used the idol.

The statues are arranged in pairs and can communicate with each other. However, this communication is corrupting and makes it extremely easy for the weaker party to submit.

Even he had to be careful when using it, because the deity represented by the statue was probably sealed somewhere. Although it wouldn't suddenly wake up and attack him, long-term use of the statue would still lead to corruption and loss of cognition.

Originally, he had bewitched the traveling merchant and used the idol to infiltrate Utopia, where he had already taken control of the forces that housed those unruly children.

The next step is to use the power of the idol to spread a plague, turning the entire city's inhabitants into zombies. Once everyone in the city has become a zombie, he will have completed his mission.

But what was that person just now?

Chapter 877 Octopus Man

The octopus-like figure looked up at the sky.

The torrential rain obscured all other signs of life.
