"The brilliance of All Gods, towering and mighty, saves the common people from calamities, granting us humans the Divine Technique to resist the invasion of Evil Demons."

Yu Changsheng, half of his body exposed on the lake surface, gently waved his paper fan as he spoke confidently.

Lu Ran's expression was strange: "Stop it."

Yu Changsheng: ???

Is this how you talk to a Great Power of the Sea Realm?

Besides, did I... did I joke around?

Lu Ran chuckled: "Mr. Yu is so kind to me, this disciple of Evil Demons, even saving me.

I feel like, Mr. Yu doesn't seem to revere the gods that much either?"

Yu Changsheng slowly shook his head, not hiding his admiration for Lu Ran: "I'm not kind to an Evil Demon disciple; I just have a slight liking for you."

Lu Ran pondered: "Because I... am loyal?"

Yu Changsheng looked at the "lively" young Evil Dog before him and smiled without speaking.

Lu Ran thought for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat serious: "My companions and I haven't been in this world long, at most half a month, but that short time is enough for us to realize one thing:

This realm is the burial ground for our Human Clan."

Yu Changsheng remained silent, waiting for more.

Lu Ran continued, "The humans selected by the gods and sent to Holy Spirit Mountain are without exception strong. Even if temporarily weak, they are definitely people of great potential.

Yet the gods' command, letting believers compete for Holy Spirit Energy, is fundamentally the reason for our mutual slaughter.

The gods are weakening our Human Clan's strength, not allowing the status quo to change at all."

Lu Ran looked up at Yu Changsheng: "The gods maintain their dominance this way; the Human Clan can only be slaves for generations."

Yu Changsheng neither affirmed nor denied and asked: "Is this why you fell into the demonic path?"

Lu Ran shook his head: "Gods and Evil Demons collude, both sucking people's blood. Why would I join the Evil Demon camp just because I'm disappointed with the gods?"

Yu Changsheng nodded silently.

Lu Ran took a breath and said: "Mr. Yu should have noticed that I am qualitatively different from the demonic disciples you imagine."

Yu Changsheng nodded: "Indeed, on you, the Evil Dog Evil Skill can coexist with the Immortal Sheep Divine Technique."

Can a person sign contracts with both the gods' camp and the Evil Demon camp at the same time?

Would Immortal Sheep and Evil Dog really allow this to happen?

Yet Lu Ran has made it happen!

Lu Ran explained: "I haven't deceived Mr. Yu; we are indeed Immortal Sheep Believers.

It's just that we found a path."

Yu Changsheng: "A path?"

Lu Ran turned to look toward the lake shore.

Deng Yuxiang leaned against a large tree, arms crossed in front of her, watching the two in the water.

With Lu Ran's nodding gesture, Deng Yuxiang's body surged with energy.

Instantly, she donned night attire, wore a bamboo hat, and the soft black veil fluttered gently.

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed!

This beautiful human woman suddenly turned into a mysterious Night Charm.

Lu Ran looked at the Big Nightmare with its slender waist and long legs, feeling once again:

The Night Charm Evil Sculpture being replaced by her was a blessing from eight lifetimes of the Night Charm!

Lu Ran felt much better: "We've found a special path.

She isn't a Night Charm believer; she just mingled among them.

On this special path, as long as we continuously slaughter Night Charms, she will grow stronger as a Night Charm."

"Gulp." Yu Changsheng's Adam's apple bobbed.

The ever-calm him, at this moment, finally broke his composure.

"Alright." Lu Ran waved his hand.

Deng Yuxiang immediately canceled the Night Charm attire, returning to her human appearance.

Only at this point did Yu Changsheng realize how terrifying the youth's secret truly is!

How shocking!

Lu Ran continued: "We dream that one day, we'll be strong enough to slay the true Night Charm, maybe even replace the Evil God, thus breaking the balance of the God Demon camp from within.

You know, Mr. Yu, gods and demons collude, and none of them are good!

They oppress us together, feed on us, making us slaves for eternity, so..."

Yu Changsheng interrupted: "You just mentioned continuously slaughtering the Night Charm Clan to strengthen yourself?"

Lu Ran nodded slightly.

Yu Changsheng fell silent.

Such startling news was hard for him to digest at once.

This lady isn't a Night Charm believer, but sneaked into the Night Charm Clan's ranks?

And is secretly grasping the power of the Evil God·Night Charm?

How... how did she manage that?

If Deng Yuxiang hadn't demonstrated the Evil Technique·Night Charm, Yu Changsheng wouldn't believe any of it.

If Lu and Deng hadn't just left when they displayed the Immortal Sheep Divine Technique·Immortal Hoof, signifying them as Immortal Sheep disciples, Yu Changsheng wouldn't believe Lu Ran's words either.

But...

All this was happening right before his eyes, causing Yu Changsheng's worldview to receive a massive shock!

The Lake District was silent, except for the sound of the wind blowing.

After a long time, Yu Changsheng looked at Lu Ran: "And you? Did you also sneak into the Evil Dog Clan's ranks through some method?"

"More or less."

"But the Evil Dog Clan has no corresponding evil technique to let you bring a person along and escape the battlefield together."

"Mr. Yu's foundational knowledge is really solid!" Lu Ran grinned.

Yu Changsheng didn't feel like joking, just quietly watching Lu Ran.

Lu Ran casually summoned an Ancient Bronze Mirror: "As you can see, I've also infiltrated the Evil Mirror Demon clan's ranks."

Yu Changsheng: !!!

The dual identities of Immortal Sheep believers and Evil Dog followers cannot coexist.

So can the identity of Evil Dog followers coexist with that of Evil Mirror Demon believers?

Of course not!

Three factions, three identities!

Coexisting?!

This... this this...

Yu Changsheng controlled his expression, trying hard to maintain the composure befitting a Great Power of the Sea Realm.

He looked at the Ancient Bronze Mirror and said softly: "Aren't you afraid that I'll expose your secret?"

Lu Ran shook his head and sighed, appearing regretful: "Well, you caught me! Sigh, I was too hasty; I shouldn't have bleated at you back then.

But Mr. Yu, I genuinely want to befriend you!"

Lu Ran paused, eyes exceedingly sincere: "You're the first to show me goodwill within Holy Spirit Mountain.

You're a Great Power of the Sea Realm, yet you don't want to eliminate competitors and kill me for treasure!

You even kept advising me not to easily trust others. Truly a kind-hearted Dragon Carp believer..."

Yu Changsheng suddenly spoke: "Stop flattering me, speak honestly!"

Lu Ran paused, then shrugged: "This world's mountains are high and roads are far; believers can't connect with the gods, so you can't report to the God·Dragon Carp."

"Just talking about gods?" Yu Changsheng mused, "So, you're not worried I'll tell your secret to other major forces?"

Lu Ran chuckled: "Stop it."

Yu Changsheng: ???

Why that phrase again?

Did I joke around somewhere... Hmm, am I courting you?

Lu Ran was quite serious: "Mr. Yu, we are in the same camp! And the god you revere is one of the real culprits oppressing the Human Clan!

I trust Mr. Yu's character.

For the Human Clan to be slaves for eternity, now someone wants to change that. Whether Mr. Yu wishes to join me or not, at least..."

Lu Ran's pitch-black eyes gazed directly into Yu Changsheng's: "At least, Mr. Yu will not be a traitor."

As the words dropped, the Lake District fell silent once more.

The two in the lake looked into each other's eyes from afar, the handsome white-robed young master completely outshining Lu Ran in looks.

Yet Deng Yuxiang's gaze was always on Lu Ran.

She'd long accepted that the boy had grown up.

But the sheer strength and charm Lu Ran displayed, exclusive to the strong...

Still made Deng Yuxiang's eyes shine brightly.

She wasn't just admiring him; she felt proud.

"The precise term would be 'traitor to humanity,'" Yu Changsheng suddenly spoke.

"Ah, more or less," Lu Ran smiled and nodded.

"Indeed not," Yu Changsheng looked at Lu Ran's "vibrant" face, his mind stirring with waves.

He had thought Lu Ran was new to this world and thus temporarily alive, his heart not yet extinguished.

He'd never imagined Lu Ran lived because he had hope and an exceptionally grand vision.

That's a... desire to overthrow the entire world's ambition!

What's even scarier is, many people have ambition and determination, but lack the strength to match it.

But this young man before him, his methods are brilliant!

So... should he lend him a hand?

Lu Ran invited: "Mr. Yu, interested in joining us?"

Yu Changsheng suddenly asked: "Does the Immortal Sheep you revere know you intend to rebel?"

Lu Ran chuckled: "If I say the god is leading me in rebellion, do you believe it?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Changsheng nodded.

That's it!

The "special path" Lu Ran mentioned should logically be the path found by the god.

Otherwise, with countless believers in the world, why would Lu Ran have such means?

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng felt a subtle excitement.

The god camp isn't monolithic.

This lowest-ranked, seemingly weak and timid Nine-class God·Immortal Sheep, wants to shuffle the deck?

Wants to change the layout, redistribute the benefits?

Yu Changsheng played with the paper fan in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Are you sure your god doesn't have ulterior motives, using you?"

Lu Ran said solemnly: "I have my own judgment, and that's another matter."

No matter the god's motivations, its goals perfectly align with Lu Ran's.

Always, the god has treated Lu Ran with endless kindness, which he reciprocates with deep gratitude.

Even taking a step back:

Even from a perspective of reciprocation, Lu Ran will steadfastly follow the god along this path!

"Hmm." For the first time, Yu Changsheng sensed Lu Ran's inner resistance.

So he didn't pursue the topic, planning to engage gradually over time.

Yu Changsheng pondered for a while, then said: "Hypothetically, if you really killed the true Night Charm, what then?"

Lu Ran shook his head: "That's too far off, Mr. Yu. We're currently just on the road, with a firm goal—change the survival situation of the Human Clan.

Right now, I only have the next step in mind, to make a move in Night Charm Lake!

My Big Nightmare is already desperate!"

Deng Yuxiang furrowed her brows, dissatisfied: "Watch your words."

Lu Ran pouted, equally unhappy: "The Big Nightmare is already desperate."

Deng Yuxiang: ???

Watch words where?

Was I asking you to remove "my"?

Lu Ran was already looking at Yu Changsheng: "A few days ago, we went once, and got defeated pathetically. If Mr. Yu joins us..."

"Sure." Yu Changsheng nodded with a smile.

Lu Ran's eyes lit up: "Really? Mr. Yu plans to join us and make a mark?"

Yu Changsheng gracefully unfolded the fan, gently fanning: "Let me accompany you to Night Charm Lake first. As for making a mark..."

He looked at Lu Ran's eager expression, smiling: "We'll see."

Lu Ran muttered softly: "A mouth at 37 degrees, how can it utter such cold words... have you soaked in too many cold baths?"

Yu Changsheng: ???

"Ahem." Deng Yuxiang lightly cleared her throat.

Lu Ran immediately changed his expression, smiling at Yu Changsheng: "Alright, Mr. Yu. Let's first form a small team.

I guarantee we won't disappoint you!"

Yu Changsheng looked at the determined Lu Ran, finding him so vibrant and bright.

Completely opposite of himself!

This is a person still holding on to hope.

Someone with ambition, and a firm goal.

A... truly living person.

"Rumble!!"

A deafening sound suddenly came from the heavens above.

Yu Changsheng lifted his head, gazing at the sky.

What,

do you oppose?

Yu Changsheng's smile grew even broader.
