The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

However, Shirakawa Miwa obviously did not explain to the students why the two sisters wanted to take leave. Instead, she announced on the spot that Luo Shu would lead all the members of Class B to the venue where the auditorium was located to prepare for the opening ceremony.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet. Alice and Isis are unable to attend the opening ceremony due to family matters. I'm very sorry, but please get ready and head to the auditorium for the ceremony."

Shirakawa Miwa clapped her hands, then glanced at Luo Shu and instructed, "Luo Shu, you will be the leader of Class B from now on. You must maintain good order in the class."

Luo Shu just nodded slightly when he heard this, "Don't worry, Mr. Baihe, I will make all the arrangements."

"Okay, let's give a round of applause and invite class monitor Luo Shu to come up to the stage and say a few words to everyone."

Shirakawa Miwa looked at Luo Shu who was calm and composed, and said with a smile, "Mr. Luo Shu, please come on stage."

"it is good."

Luo Shu was naturally not afraid. He walked up to the podium, then glanced sharply at his classmates below the stage, and suppressed their discussions with his aura alone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Luo Shu. Since I've become the monitor of Class B, I'd like everyone to discuss everything together from now on. After all, whether Class B can become better in the future depends mainly on how much effort you are willing to put in.

I won't say any more polite words. Everyone, clean up first. If you need to go to the restroom, go now. I don't want anyone from Class B to leave during the opening ceremony under the pretext of going to the restroom. That would not only damage your personal reputation, but also the reputation of the entire Class B."

After hearing Luo Shu's speech, many students in Class B couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

Luo Shu knew very well that high school students didn't like to listen to nonsense, so he simply said a few words and walked down the podium.

Shirakawa Miwa saw Luo Shu's performance and felt sincerely that she had not chosen the wrong person.

……

More than ten minutes later, in the auditorium of Chengshen Academy.

Luo Shu led Class B into the huge venue where the auditorium was located.

He first calmly checked to see if the [Mirage Barrier (B)] he had set up last night had been triggered. After confirming that there were no signs of it being triggered, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he led all members of Class B to the waiting area.

Luo Shu called the roll and found that no one was absent except the elf sisters who had asked for leave, so he returned to his seat.

After he sat down, he quickly connected to the World Tree terminal with his consciousness and sent a message to the discussion group.

"Has your class meeting not finished yet?"

"Just finished." Kurumizaka Ruri sent a sweating emoji and then complained, "The homeroom teacher talked a lot of nonsense, and the newly elected monitor couldn't control the troublemakers in the class. Class A's class meeting was really a mess."

"Our Class C is doing okay. The newly elected class president is a very cute girl." Sasaki Setsuna sent a message with a photo of herself and a beautiful girl. "Look, isn't our Class C class president adorable?"

"Yukina, when did you take a photo with squad leader Chizuru?"

Hamasaki Reina popped up and typed out a name, which made Luo Shu's heart skip a beat.

Then, he saw Hamasaki Reina continue to speak, "Jiu-kun, let me introduce you. The girl in the photo with Setsuna is our Class C monitor. Her name is Shiina Chizuru, and she is really very cute."

When Luo Shu saw the name "Shiina Chizuru", he felt speechless.

The first heroine of the diary series finally appeared.

"Aren't you worried that Shu-kun might take a fancy to your Class C monitor?" Kurumizaka Ruri suddenly asked. "You two are thinking there aren't enough girls interested in Shu-kun, right?"

"Ah." Sasaki Setsuna sent a shocked Kumamon emoji. "Is it too late for me to withdraw now?"

"It's too late." Luo Shu looked at the girl next to Sasaki Setsuna. His smile was a little stiff, but she was indeed pretty. He just said silently, "She is indeed cute, but compared to the three of you, she lacks femininity."

"Ashushu, you're still the one who can talk." Seeing the news, Sasaki Setsuna sent a happy Kumamon emoticon. Then she asked curiously, "By the way, Shu-kun, who is the monitor of your Class B?"

"I know that," Hamasaki Reina typed back immediately. "I heard from Xianghui that the class monitor of Class B is none other than Shu-kun, and the vice-monitor is that beautiful transfer student from another world called Alice."

"Wow, so Class B will be ruled by Shu-kun from now on?" Kurumizaka Ruri said with a funny Japanese-style military commander emoji. "Doesn't that mean Shu-kun has the final say in Class B from now on?"

"Liuli, what you said is true." Luo Shu was amused by the news about Kurumizaka Liuli and quickly changed the subject, "But, you, Class A and C, are really slow. Class D and Class E have already arrived at the auditorium."

"We're here." Hamasaki Reina sent a sweaty emoji. "By the way, where are you, Shu-kun?"

"Look at the sign," Luo Shu replied in a message. "There's a sign in front of each class."

"I see, I see." Upon hearing this, Hamasaki Reina put away her phone, and then quickly saw the sign with the instructions for Class C. She lowered her head and continued playing with her phone. "By the way, Liuli, why are you guys in Class A so slow?"

"On the way." Kurumizaka Ruri was too tired to complain. She looked at the chaotic team in front of her, "They've already reached the entrance of the auditorium."

"Okay, stop playing with your phone for now. Remember to gather at the door after the opening ceremony."

While Luo Shu used his consciousness to connect to the World Tree terminal and sent a message in the discussion group, he raised his head and glanced at the members of Class C who had just arrived and sat down next to Class B. He soon saw Sasaki Setsuna and Hamasaki Reina.

The two women also saw Luo Shu's figure at the first moment and waved at him vigorously.

Luo Shu smiled and waved in response.

Afterwards, Class A finally arrived. Kurumizaka Ruri didn't choose to sit down immediately, but walked straight to Luo Shu, took her arm, and glanced at Class B with some surprise, but didn't see the sound of the elf sisters. She was a little puzzled.

"Shu Jun, where are the beautiful elf sisters in your class?"

"They asked for leave for something urgent." Luo Shu felt the soft touch of Kurumizaka Ruri wrapped around his arm, "They can't attend the opening ceremony."

"Is that so?" Kurumizaka Ruri didn't think much of it after hearing that. Instead, she looked provocatively at the girls in Class B who were looking at her with dissatisfaction. Provocatively, she once again pressed herself against Luo Shu. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "It seems that Shu-kun is very popular with the girls in Class B. I think they are almost ready to kill me with their eyes."

"Okay, stop making trouble. The teachers are all here." Luo Shu reached out and pinched Kurumizaka Ruri's little face unhappily. "Go back to your seats first. After the opening ceremony is over, I have something to tell you at noon."

"Oh." When Kurumizaka Ruri heard Luo Shu say this, although she was a little reluctant, she finally obediently let go of his arm and turned back to the area where Class A was.

More than ten minutes later, as all the freshmen of Chengshen Academy had arrived at their respective areas and taken their seats, the curtain slowly opened on the podium of the auditorium.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Shu felt that the defense mechanism of [Mirage Barrier (B)] was activated by someone's strange mental power.

He looked towards the platform thoughtfully and found a short, fat man with a wretched appearance and wearing transparent-rimmed glasses.

Then, Luo Shu heard the short and fat man's self-introduction.

"Mina-san, I'm Tanaka Hatsu, the government-appointed special advisor for sexual education. From now on, I'll be responsible for teaching you all about sexual education..."

As he spoke, a strange red light flashed in the depths of Tanaka Hatsu's eyes beneath his glasses.

The moment Luo Shu heard the name, he felt a strange force spreading outward through the medium of words, and immediately triggered the passive mental immunity defense mechanism of his inherent ability [Iron Will (EX)].

Then he immediately felt that the rune amulets that served as the pillars of the [Mirage Barrier (B)] placed on the high platform were activated immediately because of the influence of this strange mental power.

Luo Shu couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had set up a barrier in the auditorium last night, otherwise he felt that he might have been successfully deceived by Tanaka Chu, the audacious guy who openly engaged in group hypnosis.

This guy is worthy of being the protagonist of the world-class work in the Hypnosis X Education series. As soon as he got this hypnotic superpower, he actually thought of coming to a place like school to practice group hypnosis.

However, this guy's mental power reserves are too outrageous. How could he easily perform such a large-scale collective hypnosis?

Luo Shu looked around and found that except for the three women including Kurumizaka Ruri who had received the Heart-Protecting Talisman he had given them, all the teachers and students present in the auditorium were affected by this strange hypnosis.

And at this moment, the long-awaited reminder came from the World Tree terminal.

"A person from the current derivative world has been detected near the World Tree Terminal holder. Should we analyze the intelligence on the person's Heavenly Favor?"

When Luo Shu saw this reminder, the expression of the old man on the subway cell phone suddenly appeared on his face.

Wow, this fat pig Tanaka Hatsu is actually the favored one of this derivative world?

However, what is this so-called "favor from heaven"?

Luck? Karma? Fate? Or perhaps just a special ability distinct from mystical skills?

Out of curiosity, Luo Shu activated the [Mirage Barrier (B)] to create an illusion to separate Tanaka Hatsu from all the teachers and students in the auditorium, while using his consciousness to connect to the World Tree Terminal and browsed through the detailed information related to the "Favored by Heaven" and the so-called "Favored by Heaven".

Chapter 16: Unlocking a new function of the World Tree Terminal

According to the intelligence analysis of the World Tree Terminal, the so-called "God's Blessing" are organic life forms that are born from time to time in each world and accidentally absorb a large amount of the world's origin.

The so-called "favor of heaven" is essentially the special ability that every "favored by heaven" naturally awakens.

Special abilities are different from mysterious skills and innate abilities.

"Heavenly favor" is unique and cannot be replicated, but it can be transferred due to the death of the person who receives it.

The use of "Heaven's Favor" requires the consumption of the world's origin. When the world's origin is insufficient, the vitality of the person who is favored by Heaven will be consumed.

After reading this information, Luo Shu suddenly understood why the World Tree Terminal mentioned that a large amount of World Origin Points could be plundered from the Heavenly Favored.

It turns out that this group of people favored by heaven have already absorbed a large amount of the world's origin.

However, this "divine favor" of Tanaka Hatsu is not hypnosis, but "confusing words"?

Bewitching Words: A unique ability bestowed upon the world, the words spoken by a favored individual have a psychic effect on the common sense, cognition, and five senses of intelligent life forms that possess a language system, particularly affecting those with weak wills. This ability consumes both mental energy and world essence. Insufficient world essence will deplete the favored individual's own vitality.

However, judging from the description of the effects of this special ability, it is no different from the common hypnotic superpowers in otherworldly works.

Because the various hypnotic superpowers in the otherworldly works basically include BUG effects such as common sense tampering, cognitive correction, and five senses control.

That being said, if I hadn't awakened my innate ability [Iron Will (EX)] and had only relied on the Heart Guardian Talisman to fight, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

However, Kurumizaka Ruri and the other three did not seem to be affected.

Luo Shu could clearly sense that the Heart Guarding Talisman given to the three women was still emitting magical fluctuations. He thought for a moment, then controlled the illusion of the [Mirage Barrier (B)] to lead them to his location.

"Shu Jun, what's going on?"

Kurumizaka Ruri was startled to find herself next to Luo Shu in the blink of an eye. "Didn't I remember we were in the auditorium? How did I end up in a desolate Gobi desert just now?"

"Yes, Shu-kun, I just found myself in the desert, surrounded by sand." Hamasaki Reina was also frightened. "Also, the Heart Guardian Talisman you gave us, Shu-kun, has been glowing."

"Ashu, I just appeared on the sea and rode on a whale." Sasaki Setsuna's tone was a little excited. "What on earth is going on?"

"What you see is essentially an illusion created by the barrier I set up." Luo Shu explained briefly, "You must have heard of mirages. The barrier I set up originated from the legendary fantasy creature, the mirage."

At this point, Luo Shu thought about the three of them still struggling to escape the cognitive interference imposed by the rules of their current derivative world. So, after a moment's thought, he said to them, "I'll send you back to my world first. Once I'm done dealing with that fat pig on the stage who's been hypnotizing everyone, I'll come find you."

"Go to Shu-kun's world?" Kurumizaka Ruri was a little confused when she heard this. "Shu-kun, you're not kidding us, are you?"

"Of course I'm not kidding." Luo Shu said solemnly, then he removed the fog effect of [Mirage Boundary (B)] that had been cast on the three women, revealing the true situation in the auditorium. "Did you see that fat pig on the stage? It's him who turned the teachers and students in the auditorium into their current strange, lost, and stunned state."

The three women only felt a flash before their eyes, and then the surrounding scene instantly switched from the magnificent garden to the auditorium.

When they heard Luo Shu say this, they subconsciously looked around, and saw that all the teachers and students inside the auditorium had dull eyes, staring blankly at the stage.

"How scary." Seeing this strange scene, Sasaki Setsuna was so frightened that she moved closer to Luo Shu, "Ashu, why is this guy on the stage doing this?"

"Who knows?" Luo Shu sighed. "Okay, I'll send you to my world first. If you have any questions, I'll explain them to you one by one later."

"Okay." Kurumizaka Ruri held the hands of her two best friends, "Setsuna, Reina, now follow Shu-kun's instructions. If we stay, we'll probably just be a hindrance."

"I understand." Hamasaki Reina reluctantly gave up asking further questions, her tone full of concern, "But, Shu-kun, you must be careful."

"Well, just say 'Sky Island Teleport' silently in your mind, and you can go to my world."

Luo Shu gave the three women free access to the "Sky Island World", and the key word was "Sky Island Teleportation".

The three women looked at each other and chose to follow Luo Shu's instructions.

Watching the three women disappear in front of him, and then sensing the fluctuations of three more life forms in the "Sky Island World", he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Next, we have to deal with Tanaka Hatsu, the one favored by heaven."

Luo Shu's eyes revealed a hint of coldness. While controlling the [Mirage Barrier (B)] to stabilize Tanaka's newly created illusion, he slowly walked towards the stage.

In fact, he wanted to kill Tanaka Chu right now, but the characteristics of Tianjuan would be randomly transferred due to the death of the Tianjuan person, so he had to suppress his murderous intention for the time being.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed through his consciousness that the World Tree terminal suddenly sent a prompt that a new function was unlocked.

"Because the World Tree Terminal owner discovered the Heavenly Blessed One for the first time and successfully analyzed and obtained the Heavenly Blessed Information held by the Heavenly Blessed One, the new function [Heavenly Blessed Removal] has been unlocked."

[Removal of Heavenly Favor] By isolating the Heavenly Favored Person from the world they belong to, it takes a short time to remove the Heavenly Favor of the Heavenly Favored Person, and the removed Heavenly Favor can be refined into varying amounts of World Origin Points.

Realm Separation: The World Tree Terminal Holder can accomplish this by trapping the Heavenly Blessed within a barrier or taking the Heavenly Blessed to another world different from the current one.

Note: The death of the person who has been blessed should be avoided during the process of removing the person’s blessings.

After reading the information about the new function, Luo Shu showed a look of surprise on his face.

"I never thought that the barrier I set up last night would accidentally meet the operational requirements of the boundary partition."

However, he did not get carried away by this.

On the contrary, Luo Shu stopped walking up to the platform after activating the [Heavenly Favor Removal] function.

Because he was not sure whether Tanaka Hatsu had realized that he was in the illusion created by the [Mirage Barrier (B)].

Fortunately, Luo Shu discovered that after activating [Heavenly Favor Removal], it only takes five minutes to remove the Heavenly Favor displayed by "Confusing Words".

At this time, just three minutes had passed since Tanaka Hatsu used the "Confusing Words" to hypnotize all the teachers and students of Seishin Academy, and then Luo Shu activated the [Mirage Barrier (B)] to send Kurumizaka Ruri and the other three girls to the Sky Island World.

Luo Shu estimated that the illusion created inside the [Mirage Barrier (B)] he had set up should be more than enough to trap Tanaka Chu for five minutes without alerting the other party.

After all, not every person favored by heaven happens to possess mysterious knowledge.
