The term "Abyssal Believers" appeared formally in people's sight for the first time.

What are Abyssal Believers?

Believing in the Abyss, serving the Abyss, taking the interests of the Abyss as their own, those who differ from ordinary people, can be called "Abyssal Believers."

The Abyss has always been silent, without its own will, not responding to any prayers or offerings. Even so, some people see the Abyss as a divine trial, believing that pleasing the Abyss can communicate with the gods.

They are a group of religious fanatics who wholeheartedly serve the Abyss, viewing it as a facet of divinity.

Otherwise, how could the Abyss be so powerful?

Even ancestors, powerful enough to restore the moon, had to cut off ties with the Abyss to preserve their race.

Wrong, their ancestors were wrong.

Everyone is born bearing sins, and because of this, gods bring calamities, causing the Abyss to descend.

Magic Power is Divine Power, and the engravings researched from the bodies of demons are also gifts from gods. All extraordinary powers in the world should belong to the supreme gods, and the power used by Engravers is merely granted to them by gods.

Their adaptability to "Divine Power" is the best evidence of being favored by gods!

–– Many people found the official explanation of "Abyssal Believers" hard to comprehend.

Some even questioned whether Abyssal Believers really exist or if they were just an official excuse.

However, subsequent official evidence showed that Abyssal Believers indeed exist in this world, and have for a long time, tracing back to the Lost Decade.

"She Wuyou is an Abyssal Believer, and She Wulu is actually his gene clone, existing only to help She Wuyou escape guilt!" This is what the authorities said.

They claimed that after the She Family left Lingquan City, they were finally able to investigate the things hidden by the She Family, like She Wulu's activity records.

According to their investigation, She Wulu had never appeared before anyone since childhood; the first appearance was in court. Simply labeling as "undocumented" couldn't explain this, so they delved into the genes of She Wulu and She Wuyou, finding that they were clone and donor.

No matter how the She Family embellished She Wulu's genes, some key genes couldn't be changed.

So, although Yan Luo killed She Wuyou publicly, he was actually stopping a criminal, preventing an Abyssal Believer from escaping justice.

If Yan Luo had not killed She Wuyou, the entrance to the Forbidden Demon Abyss might have appeared in Lingquan City earlier.

Because Yan Luo killed She Wuyou, the security level of Lingquan City was raised. When the Abyss descended, police and military responded quickly, controlling the situation and preventing further demon spread.

In other words, Yan Luo did nothing wrong by killing She Wuyou; on the contrary, he did the right thing!

Moreover, it wasn't a fortuitous mistake.

Yan Luo's parents died in the magical tide of Crimson No.2 nine years ago. That tide actually hid a conspiracy, as Abyssal Believers acted in secret, leading to heavy casualties among the Crimson No.2 Hunters, with two-fifths dying and nearly one-fifth retiring.

In truth, Yan Luo was always investigating Abyssal Believers, knowing early on that She Wuyou was one; hence, he acted decisively as She Wuyou was about to escape.

Wherever there are Abyssal Believers, disaster follows. At that time, Yan Luo feared a similar event might happen in Lingquan City as nine years ago when his parents died, so he killed She Wuyou.

Therefore, the Lingquan City Government decided to lift the wanted notice against Yan Luo and award him.

"What a twist of fate! From a criminal to the city's hero." You Yifeng sat in a restaurant, facing Yan Luo, listening to the news broadcast, unable to suppress a smile.

"I was never a criminal." Yan Luo replied calmly.

As he spoke, he ate voraciously, neither his hands nor mouth stopping.

Watching Yan Luo's actions, Jin Miaomiao's appetite also increased.

After dinner, You Yifeng called out to the departing Yan Luo, mysteriously saying, "I came specifically to meet you; I have something to tell you."

Yan Luo sat back, "Just say what you have to say; don't be cryptic."

You Yifeng glanced at the no-smoking sign in the restaurant, took out a piece of gum, and started chewing.

"Did you know that Abyssal Believers are divided into two factions? One, as the official spokesperson said, regards the Abyss as a god, their minds warped. Zheng Guoxian is of that faction, and they love offering sacrifices to the Abyss—yes, the magical tide of Crimson No.2 nine years ago was a sacrifice!"

Yan Luo looked at You Yifeng coldly, "What do you want to say?"

You Yifeng grinned, "Hold on, let me finish. Where was I? Oh, two factions. After talking about Zheng Guoxian's side, let's discuss the other faction. The other faction sees the Abyss as a useful tool. Our ancestors severed ties with the Abyss, causing us to lose a lot, or else Blue Star would be more prosperous today.

"This faction's belief is not to eliminate the Abyss; they want its influence to spread on Blue Star, changing the environment back to how it was over eight thousand years ago, enabling humanity to give birth to Sequence One and even stronger powers. With such strength, we could break the alien technological blockade and venture into deep space."

Jin Miaomiao, sitting beside Yan Luo, was completely baffled by You Yifeng's narrative.

What ancestors? What severed connections? What aliens? What technological blockade?

What was this person rambling about?

Yan Luo stared at You Yifeng, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I am a subordinate of Abyssal Believers." You Yifeng answered crisply.

Bam!

Yan Luo threw a sudden punch, and You Yifeng's body glowed with engravings, taking Yan Luo's strike.

Crash!

The chair beneath them suddenly broke, causing Jin Miaomiao to scream, attracting attention.

Feeling he might have gone too far, You Yifeng quickly explained, "But I've already defected, Wu Zechuan knows about this!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Luo raised an eyebrow and withdrew his fist.

You Yifeng shook his hand, taking a sharp inhale as his palm throbbed from the pain.

If he hadn't anticipated and reacted swiftly, his head might have been blown off by Yan Luo's punch.

Although not close friends, they were at least acquaintances; Yan Luo's decisiveness, even towards an acquaintance, was surprising.

Ding!

You Yifeng directly transferred 10,000 to the restaurant owner, "This is for damages."

The owner, who was about to speak, immediately kept quiet.

Jin Miaomiao was incredulous, covering her mouth, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at You Yifeng.

She never imagined that You Yifeng, who brought her from Crimson No.2 to Lingquan City, was an Abyssal Believer!

"Are you planning to hold a press conference to reveal your true situation?" You Yifeng asked Yan Luo.

Yan Luo scrutinized You Yifeng, uncertain of his intentions.

"Yes."

Hearing this, You Yifeng sighed, "I originally belonged to the faction using the Abyss as a tool, and before leaving the Abyssal Believers, I hadn't done anything for them because they didn't need me to. All they wanted was for me to slightly sabotage the Crimson Abyss assault—of course, I've confessed this to Wu Zechuan as well."

Yan Luo was moved, "Did Wu Zechuan give you that vial of marrow?"

You Yifeng nodded, "A thousand gold for a horse, if you want me to defect, you have to offer something Abyssal Believers can't. But that's not the point; the point is that there might be a 'Saint' among Abyssal Believers!"

Yan Luo's eyes sharpened, "What did you say?"

Pointing upwards, You Yifeng said, "The one who initially formed the Abyssal Believers collective was likely a Saint. Back then, they were not called Abyssal Believers but 'Abyss Watchers'."
