The room was enveloped in dead silence.

Only the patter of the night rain outside the window persisted.

After a long while, suppressing the tumultuous emotions within him, Lu Ran approached the shrine:

"Lord Immortal Goat."

"The dream I had, it wasn't just an ordinary nightmare, was it?"

"Those evil demon sculptures, those evil demon souls... that world, did you construct it?"

Lu Ran looked at the shrine, where the Immortal Sheep Jade Carving rested quietly, offering no response.

After a lengthy wait, Lu Ran said solemnly:

"In that world, I encountered a sheep head burning with Black Fire. Do you know what kind of creature it is?"

In truth, Lu Ran wanted to ask whether the Black Fire Sheep Head was truly Lord Immortal Goat's original appearance.

However, he wasn't so rash.

Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice echoed into Lu Ran's mind:

"You intend to go to Evil Dog Village and slaughter the Evil Dogs."

Finally!

Lord Immortal Goat finally bestowed the sound transmission.

Lu Ran perked up, his hand subconsciously resting on his neck, pinching the Divine Power Pearl between two fingers, "Yes.

As long as I collect enough Fog Grade Demon Crystals, I can exchange them for higher-grade Divine Power Pearls."

Immortal Sheep Jade Carving: "Go, exterminate them completely."

Lu Ran couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Such a heavy killing intent!

It was normal for gods and evil demons to be at odds.

The only problem was, these words came from the divinity known as the kind and friendly Divine·Immortal Goat in the eyes of the world.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and continued: "After slaughtering the Evil Dogs, I saw their soul bodies in that dim world.

I also saw those souls being collected by the evil demon sculptures.

Lord Immortal Goat, please clear up your disciple's confusion, what does this vision mean?"

White Sheep Jade Carving: "What is an evil demon?"

Lu Ran was startled by the question. How was he supposed to answer that?

After much thought, he replied: "Disciple does not know the essence of evil demons, nor where they originate.

All I know is that evil demons are malevolent spirits that bring chaos to the human world, enemies of both the Human and Divine Clans."

White Sheep Jade Carving: "Essence? Nothing but a pile of stones."

Lu Ran: "..."

He really didn't dare to follow up.

By that logic, wouldn't the revered gods also be just a pile of stones?

Only, the divine gods stood on the surface, displayed plainly for all to see.

The evil demon clan's Divine Sculptures, it is said, reside hidden within the depths of various Demon Caves.

Why use the words "it is said"?

Because, as a small fry like Lu Ran, he could only access superficial information from books and the internet.

He wasn't yet qualified to delve into higher-level secrets.

Immortal Sheep Jade Carving: "Those stones can summon and control evil demons, wreaking havoc upon the world.

My stones could do the same!"

Lu Ran: !!!

What...what exactly are you planning to do?

The low voice of Lord Immortal Goat carried endless authority: "Kill, Human Clan.

One day, countless evil demons may serve us."

"Glug," Lu Ran's Adam's apple moved involuntarily.

Did Lord Immortal Goat mean that if enough of the slaughtered evil demons were collected, their souls absorbed into the statues, they could control the evil demons?

If that were the case...

A thought struck Lu Ran: "If Lord Immortal Goat possesses such ability, we could ask for the Da Xia authorities to help us.

If you could control the evil demons and use them for both the human and godly realms, Disciple believes that Da Xia will spare no effort in assisting us to exterminate evil demons!"

"Lu Ran."

An abrupt voice straightened Lu Ran's spine.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was the first time Lord Immortal Goat had called his name since he had become an Immortal Sheep Believer!

The transmission from Lord Immortal Goat was laden with authority:

"Speak cautiously, act carefully, grow steadily."

Lu Ran fell silent.

The words of Lord Immortal Goat amounted to a rejection of his recent suggestion.

And made it clear that he was not allowed to speak carelessly.

In fact, ever since bringing the small Divine Sculpture home, this sometimes darken-faced divinity had always forbidden Lu Ran from revealing any information to the outside world.

A deep voice entered Lu Ran's mind again: "Remember what you once told me.

You wished to repay kindness."

Lu Ran clasped his hands together, his expression solemn: "Lu Ran wishes, and indeed ought, to repay kindness!

However, Lord Immortal Goat, controlling evil demons is a significant matter..."

"Go and slaughter the Evil Dogs." The transmission descended, interrupting Lu Ran's speech. "As long as you harvest enough souls.

The Basic Evil Technique of the Evil Dog Clan, you might well be able to use.

The minds and bodies of the Evil Dog Clan, you might well be able to control."

Such words made Lu Ran's head buzz!

He couldn't help but ask a question that had long puzzled him: "Are you really Lord Immortal Goat?"

The Immortal Sheep known to people, where did they possess such extraordinary powers?

Unexpectedly, Immortal Sheep Jade Carving actually responded directly:

"Yes."

However, the sheep's head on the Immortal Sheep Jade Carving abruptly turned black, its formerly kindly smiling face now appeared exceedingly eerie:

"And no."

Lu Ran: "..."

Wasn't this a straightforward question of "either this or that"?

I asked for a yes_or_no?

And you answered with an or?

"The extent of my abilities goes beyond this." Another transmission startled Lu Ran from his wild thoughts.

Did this mysterious Lord Immortal Goat have even more shocking abilities?

"You wish to avenge your father, to purge all the wicked spirits from the world."

"You have suffered long in this chaotic world, desiring to cleanse it of its calamities."

As it spoke, the pitch-black sheep's head gradually reverted to a lustrous white: "Remember to speak cautiously, act carefully, grow steadily."

"Yes," Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and slowly bowed.

There was no denying that Lu Ran had many questions in his mind, but relatively few concerns.

After all, from the day he brought the Divine Sculpture home, Lord Immortal Goat had made himself very clear:

"If I were an evil demon, how could you wake up again?"

This simple statement was a checkmate within checkmates.

Upon careful consideration, since their meeting, everything that Lord Immortal Goat had done for Lu Ran had been helpful.

From the lifesaving grace at the God Worship Platform to the blessings given to Lu Ran at home, to teaching him the Divine Technique, granting him permission to fight wantonly.

Lord Immortal Goat's actions had always been benevolent.

Now, Lord Immortal Goat showed terrifying strength!

Was he secretly creating an "Evil Demon Sculpture Garden"?

"Just by collecting enough evil demon souls, can I also use the Evil Technique?" Lu Ran murmured to himself.

To say he wasn't excited would be a lie!

Who knew how many Evil Dogs needed to be killed before he could try their spells?

Would a thousand be enough?

For this summer's task, Lu Ran needed to slay at least a thousand Mist Realm Evil Dogs to exchange for a River Grade Divine Power Pearl.

Not to mention, after the recent fifteenth city defense task, Squad 98's ranking should be quite high, and the school would also reward weapons.

To upgrade two pieces of equipment, a thousand Mist Realm Evil Dogs would probably not suffice.

Hmm... it was time to stir up a storm of blood and gore in Evil Dog Village!

The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more excited he got, his body full of vigor.

He stood up, moved to the windowsill, and looked out into the endless rainy night.

The Basic Evil Technique of the Evil Dog Clan greatly enhanced the senses, especially the sense of smell, which was incredibly sharp.

By then, this little sheep would have a dog's nose~

Sniff out where the enemy was, anticipate their plans ahead of time, and lock onto their position early!

From now on,

Who the hell could ambush me?

It would only be my turn to ambush others!

However, the Basic Evil Technique equipped by the Evil Dog Clan in Fog Realm·Third Rank was called Evil Fangs.

It spontaneously summoned four canine teeth to tear at the prey.

When the time came, how would I explain to others that, although I am a follower of a divine being, I can cast Evil Techniques?

Hmm...

Forget it, let's not worry about that for now, let's harvest the souls, get the techniques equipped, and then think about it.

Wait a minute!

Lu Ran suddenly pressed his hand against the window, realizing something.

According to Lord Immortal Goat, using the techniques of the Evil Demon Clan was a low-level application.

If there were enough souls, could he summon and control evil demons?

In other words, as long as I slaughter enough Yan Zhi...

Could I have my own exclusive Yan Zhi sister?

"Good heavens!"

The more he thought about it, the brighter Lu Ran's eyes shone!

This...this this this?

Hehehe~
