Chen Shouyi opened the door. Although he didn't intentionally make a big noise, he still woke his parents.

Perhaps they weren't asleep at all.

"Are you hurt?"

"No!"

"Then go to bed early!"

"Got it."

...

Chen Shouyi opened the door, dragging his exhausted body into the bedroom. The Shell Lady was still playing.

The bed was covered with all sorts of messy trinkets, and the Shell Lady was sitting atop the red crystal orb, as if seated on a supreme throne, looking smug: "Good Giant, does it look nice?"

"Nice!" Chen Shouyi said with a smirk, placing his bow and sword on the desk, then reasserted ownership: "But that ruby is mine, you'll have to give it back to me later."

"Stingy, petty Bad Giant, Little One knows." The Shell Lady said dejectedly, secretly plotting how to snatch the gem.

Chen Shouyi snorted coldly at this: "Then I won't let you play with this glowing ruby anymore."

As he spoke, he tore off the clothes already ripped into strips on his body and threw them into the trash can.

"Little One spoke wrongly just now, you're a great and benevolent Generous Giant." The Shell Lady immediately said with a serious face.

Chen Shouyi felt emotionally drained and didn't want to speak, so he got up and went to the bathroom!

...

Cold water gushed down from the showerhead.

Chen Shouyi closed his eyes, unable to stop recalling the monster from earlier battles.

He suddenly opened his eyes: "Such a powerful creature, I wonder if it might be a Divine Creature."

Thinking of the innate abilities brought to him by the two previous Divine Creatures, he felt a rush of excitement, quickly washed himself casually, put on underwear, and walked out of the bathroom half-naked, lying down on the bed.

He closed his eyes and quickly entered the Book of Knowledge Space.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the World Tree remained the same, nothing different could be seen!

"Is it because the monster was too far from me when it died, or is it because it simply wasn't a Divine Creature?" he thought, slightly greedy.

Recalling the opponent's evil and terrifying innate abilities.

Chen Shouyi couldn't help but feel a deep regret.

If he could obtain them, he had several bold and exciting ideas.

"What a pity... huh!"

At this moment, Chen Shouyi suddenly noticed that the once moonlight-like dense Power of Faith in the space also disappeared, making the entire Book of Knowledge Space much dimmer.

Chen Shouyi looked at the sky that had turned gray again:

"Could it be that the Power of Faith was consumed when resisting the opponent's Mental Attack?"

"It should be so. Power of Faith is a form of common will, inherently related to spirit, similar to the power of will in some sense. It also belongs to oneself, being part of one's power, and will naturally resist when encountering external attacks."

Thinking of this, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"This time was too close. If it weren't for the Power of Faith, which dispersed part of the monster's Mental Attack, I could have almost not come back."

Thinking of himself being controlled by that monster, he felt a bit of trepidation.

"The Power of Faith seems more useful than I thought, and now there's not a drop left, which is really unsafe!" Chen Shouyi thought: "If I encounter such a powerful Spiritual Power creature again, there won't be the same luck this time."

As a pragmatist, Chen Shouyi immediately decided that he must have the Barbarian Tribe on the small island quickly organize believers to conduct large-scale worship to replenish the Power of Faith. Anyway, it's winter now, and those barbarians are idle too.

The only problem now is how to convey the message?

"However, if believers can pass the message, I should be able to transmit information to them as well!" Chen Shouyi pondered.

He immediately looked at the faint star representing the priest of the Barbarian Tribe, trying to establish a mental link, but as soon as he sensed it, it immediately broke off.

"The Original Force of Earth is too low, and the line of faith cannot support information transmission; it's better to wait for tomorrow to return to the alien world."

...

Late at night.

A man and a woman walked out of Hedong Railway Station.

"Hedong City is much better than when I last came." A burly middle-aged man said: "Back then, it was in ruins."

"Elder Luo, you've been to Hedong City?" a young woman asked.

"I had a mission there, almost half a year ago. Let's find a place to stay first!" The middle-aged man said: "Tomorrow we contact Hedong City to see if they can provide some aid. This operation is quite dangerous, it would be best to have a Martial Artist as support!"

"Does Hedong also have Martial Artists?" the young woman asked: "They won't be fake Martial Artists, right?"

Nowadays, each province acts independently, and many new Martial Artists haven't been formally assessed before being crowned with the Martial Artist name, most of them don't live up to it.

"Counting those with a little embellishment, maybe three. I just don't know how many are left now. Having all three sent over seems unlikely. Having one should be no problem!" the middle-aged man chuckled.

He didn't know that Jiangnan Province had only one Martial Artist left, as Xiao Changming and Lei Ruiyang had both died.

"I think it's unlikely, there's heavy local protection now. They treat Martial Artists as precious treasures and probably won't send them for support." The young woman said, a bit indignantly.

As a Martial Artist from the Capital City, she's seen this phenomenon often. Local governments always only care about their own little patch and would shirk responsibilities regarding matters outside their provinces.

"But this time they surely won't sit idly by. East Sea Province is right next to Jiangnan Province. If East Sea Province falls, Jiangnan Province would be next!" the middle-aged man said, his complexion slightly serious.

The situation in East Sea Province is quite severe; the spreading cult is uncontrollable, affecting not only the public but possibly even the higher-ups might be dragged in, or something might have happened**

Since the mutation, communication has been severed, transportation is hindered, coupled with deliberate destruction and blockades.

East Sea Province has become like a black hole of information, with not a single piece of information coming through. It wasn't until about a month and a half ago when the dispatched federal investigation team vanished without a trace that it finally caught the upper echelons' attention.

According to the existing intelligence, the situation in East Sea Province involves not only the Barbarian God but also a large number of Southeast Asians.

And Southeast Asian countries, based on domestic judgment, have mostly likely fallen, possibly even under Barbarian God control.

These countries are mostly militarily backward and are not nuclear-armed nations.

Originally, to appease and stop non-nuclear countries from researching nuclear weapons, the nuclear club countries signed a nuclear protection agreement with non-nuclear countries, providing unconditional nuclear protection and military aid in the event of a major incident, like a Barbarian God invasion.

Because of this, since discovering the alien world, for a full twenty years, nuclear club member countries remain under ten.

But no one expected the sudden mutation, and with the dramatic change in circumstances, that nuclear protection agreement became just a piece of worthless paper. This time they went to East Sea Province to investigate more detailed information.
