The brink of death unfolded grandly at this moment, as the young man stood before the scarlet scene, his deep eyes dyed with a tint of crimson gold.

The eerie, deathly scene behind him cast an unbearable layer of 'divinity' upon him.

The bodies of devout followers dropped helplessly to the ground, and chanting nuns plunged into a pool of blood.

In their final moments of dying life, they all chanted a name, which was... apocalypse!!

Countless crimson beliefs rose for the last time from the corpses.

These were the purest beliefs, erupting from the most devout followers before death descended.

At this moment, these beliefs flocked into the mural, and the majestic figure that stood beneath the Xue Yue and on the Heishan became even more divine, vivid as if it were about to come to life.

What felt even more maddening was that the shadow of the deity, at this moment, began to merge constantly with Su Tu.

Hua Yun and Hua Yu, the two brothers, half-kneeled at Su Tu's sides, their eyes filled with fervor; finally, they were once again prostrate at the feet of the god.

Yet, Su Tu paid no mind to this eerie mystery; his gaze was entirely focused on a corner of the dark chamber.

The pitch-black shadow surged, as if it had come alive, following Su Tu's voice as it fell.

Swish~

The intangible shadow seemed to gain substance, starting to swirl and entwine in mid-air, eventually transforming into a woman dressed in black.

The woman looked at the bizarre and terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and a sea of blood before her, her eyes devoid of any emotion, as calm as the dead sea.

She looked faintly at the young man in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly lifting into a smile that was all too familiar to Su Tu.

"Su Tu, it's not yet your speech day; you're so eager to meet with me, do you miss your teacher?"

The woman softly spoke.

At this moment, the scarlet glimmer just happened to fall on her, illuminating her face weathered by time.

Su Tu saw the face he had seen countless times before.

"What should I call you?"

"A big figure in the Three Deceits Cult, or..."

"Mother Liu?"

Su Tu's eyes locked onto the woman, and the figure that had once given him countless private lessons slowly resurfaced in his mind.

This woman was Su Tu's class teacher, Mother Liu, Liu Yingjiao!!

"There aren't any big figures; I'm just a teacher who has seen her student succeed."

Liu Yingjiao looked at Su Tu with eyes full of gratification.

That gaze, Su Tu had seen countless times before; it was the gaze Liu Ma would give him every time he scored well on his exams.

He found it deeply difficult to associate the kind and amiable Liu Ma with the woman standing before him, treading upon blood.

Despite all this, he had already mentally prepared himself for this a while ago.

The moment he received that call, he thought of the wooden figure Liu Ma gave to Chen Xi, which looked identical to the scarlet wooden figure that infiltrated the exam hall when Su Tu acted as an Examiner.

That wooden figure came from the upper echelons of the Three Deceits Cult, a projection of a major figure. Following its appearance, the actions of the Three Deceits Cult became more clandestine.

The highly respectful Number One and the recently subdued suffragist also stopped appearing around him.

Su Tu realized something was off at that moment, hence he remained vigilant against the appearance of the Three Deceits Cult in the subsequent martial exam sessions.

However, the Three Deceits Cult uncharacteristically concealed themselves.

Originally, Su Tu intended to focus on countering the schemes of figures like the Spring and Autumn Wealth God, and then deal with the Three Deceits Cult when he had time.

But a phone call from Liu Ma completely changed Su Tu's thinking.

He couldn't believe that Liu Ma was the so-called major figure in the Three Deceits Cult. He could have directly confronted Liu Ma, the simplest and most straightforward way to verify his conjecture.

Yet, Su Tu, who used to prefer resolving problems with the highest efficiency, felt an unusual stubbornness this time; he chose to follow Little Xue Yue to find the sufferer.

The power of the Three Deceits Cult was severely damaged by She Taijun, so the remaining power was thin, making this base highly important to the cult.

Destroying this stronghold would surely force the so-called major figure behind it to appear.

Thus, Su Tu came, resolving everything in the most awkward manner yet the quickest way.

He deeply wished for the emergence of some exceedingly terrifying and brutal major figure in the end.

But...

Standing before Su Tu was still the one he didn't want to face... Liu Ma.

And Su Tu could ascertain that this was indeed Liu Ma herself, without any Heart and Spirit control, no external force suppression.

"So, you've always been with the Three Deceits Cult, right?"

"At that time, those Three Deceits Cult skin peelers tried to entice my classmates to sign up for the martial exam, was that also at your behest?"

Su Tu's emotions rapidly calmed at this moment, and as his Candle Wisdom Skill Level increased, Su Tu could almost fully control his emotions, though he usually chose not to do so.

"How should I put it?"

"It's me, and yet not me..."

Liu Ma stepped towards Su Tu slowly, reaching out with a hand as if patting the head of her proud pupil, just like she did in school.

"Audacious!!! Such mere pseudo-god worshippers dare to offend the divine!"

"Blasphemers, courting death!!"

The Hua brothers were instantly furious at this scene; to them, Su Tu was the only True God in this world, lofty, resplendent, the immortal that saved the entire world from suffering!
