CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 149: HONOR BRAVE CHALLENGER SUIT! (1/5)_1

Upon receiving The Heavenly Path’s Hint, Chen Mo immediately asked for a drop of blood from each of the three women. He noticed they were beginning to look pale, although it didn’t seem like they had lost much blood. This wasn’t ordinary blood; it was their blood essence, the source of their Life. Dripping it out was like draining their pure energy, an act that harmed their very core. Under these circumstances, they obviously couldn’t afford to lose much more.

Seeing this, Chen Mo abandoned his idea of taking a couple more bottles of Saintess’ Spring to sell.

"Enough. The Earth Spring has been fully transformed. Let’s go back and rest first," he said.

Chen Mo embraced the three of them. As his thoughts shifted, they flew back to the Shrine of Gods on the Solar System map.

"You three go and rest in the inner temple. I have other things to attend to, so I can’t stay here with you," he told the exceptionally weak trio.

"Lord God of Bravery, you... go ahead. Saving... saving this world is what’s important. We’ll... we’ll be fine..." one of them managed to say.

After they had spoken with great effort, Chen Mo nodded. He told the three Holy Maidens to rest well, then immediately disguised himself again and returned to Qiluo Town!

Once the Priest is cured, I won’t have to rush anymore, Chen Mo thought.

At the entrance of the shrine, Lin Ranhai was leaning against a stone pillar, staring idly at the azure sky.

This instance dungeon seems to have nothing to do with me, he mused. My being here is completely redundant.

As he was lost in thought, a figure suddenly materialized beside him. Startled, Lin Ranhai instantly drew his sword and looked over. Although he had been lounging comfortably, he had promised to protect that thing inside the shrine, and he naturally intended to keep his word.

Turning his head, he was surprised to see a familiar face.

"Miss Zhao, you... you’re back..."

At that moment, Lin Ranhai looked at Chen Mo as if she were from a different world. Even his form of address had changed to "Miss."

Chen Mo smiled faintly and asked, "Is the Priest all right?"

"He’s fine, perfectly fine. Not even a fly has come near," Lin Ranhai replied.

Chen Mo nodded and immediately went to the well beside the shrine to draw a bucket of water. Due to the transformation of the Earth Spring, all water sources in the world had been purified. Now, any bucket of water drawn was pure Saintess’ Spring. Of course, it had to be consumed near the source; otherwise, as The Heavenly Path’s Hint previously indicated, the pure energy would gradually dissipate if it were bottled or served separately.

Carrying the bucket, Chen Mo rushed back into the shrine.

The Priest was still hiding in the shadows. Seeing Chen Mo return, he immediately looked over. When he saw the five-star badge on Chen Mo’s chest, the Priest became visibly excited. His entire body wriggled as he scurried towards Chen Mo.

"This is Saintess’ Spring. It can free you from the Xiensa Evil God’s Body. Drink it quickly," Chen Mo said, placing the bucket before the Priest and gesturing for him to drink.

Learning he could return to his original form, the Priest was incredibly enthusiastic. He wriggled his fleshy body, wrapped his tentacles around the bucket, and began to GULP down the water.

A few seconds later, the Holy Water began to take effect. A surge of sacred and pure energy burst forth from within the Priest. After a blinding flash of light, a completely naked Priest appeared before Chen Mo.

This Priest looked remarkably young and handsome, a stark contrast to the elderly man Chen Mo had imagined.

Realizing his current state, the Priest hastily reached into his own chest and pulled out a set of white robes, which he quickly put on.

"Thank you for saving my life, Lord God of Bravery. I am eternally grateful," the Priest said.

As the Priest reverted to his true form, Chen Mo received another message from The Heavenly Path.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on completing the prerequisite quest for Changes in Qiluo Town. The follow-up quests for Changes in Qiluo Town are now available!]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The Xiensa Evil God covets the Priest’s body. Lure its clone here and eliminate it!

Warning! The Xiensa Evil God’s clone is extremely powerful. You can weaken it by reducing the negative energy and increasing the positive energy of humans across the continent!]

Seeing he could directly challenge the Xiensa Evil God, Chen Mo looked at the Priest before him and asked, "How powerful is the Xiensa Evil God’s clone? How does it compare to the Bishop of Xiensa Evil God who appeared near Qiluo Town earlier?"

"The Xiensa Evil God’s clone is on par with a lower-rank Demon God. It’s a terrifying entity capable of battling Gods without being at a disadvantage. Its strength is at least that of a level 100 god-grade unit," the Priest explained.

Hearing this, Chen Mo’s mouth twitched. My goodness! he thought. Level 100 god-grade, and that’s just for a clone? How terrifyingly insane must the main body be?

Realizing the immense power of his opponent, Chen Mo didn’t dare to lure it over immediately. He contemplated for a moment. He decided it was safer to first spread hope by announcing the existence of the God of Bravery. This would reduce the negative energy of the humans on the continent and, consequently, lower the threat from the Evil God’s clone.

Besides, he now had the Teleport ability, so he didn’t need to worry about how quickly word would spread.

But before that, Chen Mo opened the map. It’s time to deal with the people in those two Star Systems, he thought.

Before setting off, Chen Mo took the time to carefully examine the attributes of the Honor Brave Challenger Suit he had obtained earlier.

After carefully studying the Honor Brave Challenger Suit, Chen Mo marveled at it. This suit is insanely powerful, and it’s still only dark-gold grade, not even Artifact Level yet! I wonder how much stronger it will become when it reaches Artifact Level!
