Once the rumbling in the sky subsided, Deng Yuxiang asked, "Mr. Yu, what exactly is your power level?"

This kind of questioning was a bit impolite and could easily offend the other party.

But since Yu Changsheng had already decided to join the team, Deng Yuxiang thought it was necessary to understand his teammates.

She didn't want Lu Ran to be the bad guy, so she asked herself.

Unexpectedly, Yu Changsheng responded straightforwardly, "Sea Realm, Fourth Rank."

Lu Ran was taken aback: "Sea Realm, Fourth Rank?"

He initially thought that Yu Changsheng was at the Initial Stage of the Sea Realm, but didn't expect him to be at a High Rank?

Higher than Deng Yuxiang by an entire Great Realm?

Seeing Lu Ran's eyes light up, Yu Changsheng smiled and asked, "What's up?"

Lu Ran sincerely praised, "I'm just amazed at how young Mr. Yu is and already achieved so much."

Lu Ran was truly happy!

Picked up a big treasure, how could he not be happy?

Yu Changsheng couldn't help laughing, "I've wasted away thirty-two years... or maybe it's thirty-three?"

Yu Changsheng paused noticeably, then sighed lightly, "Forgot, must be around this age."

Having stayed too long in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm, he'd forgotten what year and month it was in the human world.

Forgot his own age.

"Thirty is the age to establish a career!" Lu Ran winked at Yu Changsheng.

Lu Ran always thought Yu Changsheng was around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

Certainly, these humans who can destroy the heavens and the earth, all with impressive charisma, looking young is quite normal too.

"In that sense, Young Lu has established quite early." Yu Changsheng naturally knew of Lu Ran's ambitions and joked, "Are you even twenty this year?"

Lu Ran: "..."

Yu Changsheng's smile deepened, "Hmm?"

After holding it in for a while, Lu Ran suddenly blurted out, "I'm not twenty, but I have a fiancée!"

Yu Changsheng: "..."

This little rascal, your words can really hurt.

He looked at Lu Ran with exasperation and then turned to Deng Yuxiang, saying, "Congratulations to you both then."

Lu Ran quickly said, "Not this one, I have another... No! I only have one, it's a different one!"

Deng Yuxiang leaned back against a large tree, arms crossed in front of her, looking at Lu Ran in half-amused, half-exasperated disbelief.

Yu Changsheng: "You're quite lucky, young friend."

Lu Ran awkwardly lowered his head and played with the water.

Turning the topic, Yu Changsheng continued, "Did you also help your fiancée sneak into an Evil Demon team?"

"No," Lu Ran shook his head, mumbling to himself: I'd lead her to challenge the gods directly!

Yu Changsheng pondered, "Is this unique path of yours not suitable for everyone?"

Lu Ran shook his head, "Not necessarily, it's just that the time is not yet ripe."

Yu Changsheng pursued, "Then what conditions need to be met for the time to be right?"

Lu Ran thought for a moment and replied, "When one sees clearly the true face of the God Demons, sees the essence of the world.

When that person is mentally and physically prepared."

Yu Changsheng nodded lightly.

Lu Ran added, "Mr. Yu is a Dragon Carp believer, having signed a master-servant contract with the divine.

Although this realm has high mountains and long roads, making it difficult for believers to communicate with the divine, if Mr. Yu infiltrates another sect, I'm still worried Divine·Dragon Carp might notice."

Yu Changsheng understood.

Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang are Immortal Sheep Believers, and Divine·Immortal Goat is the initiator of all these plans.

So Lu Ran and Deng Yuxiang can act wantonly, possessing multiple identities.

Lu Ran continued, "Mr. Yu, I'm very willing to arrange a path for you, but we still need to be cautious.

If Mr. Yu wants to take this path, I'm afraid you have to trouble yourself to first leave the Dragon Carp Sect."

Yu Changsheng was intrigued, "What path do you intend to arrange for me, young friend?"

Lu Ran instead asked, "Does Mr. Yu have a preferred sect?"

Yu Changsheng's heart stirred slightly, probing, "Any choice?"

Lu Ran shrugged.

A simple gesture, yet it revealed an astonishing message enough to make anyone gape in amazement.

This young man had brought too many shocks to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng calmed his mind and spoke softly, "Dragon Carp Sect."

Lu Ran was puzzled, "But Mr. Yu is already a Dragon Carp believer?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head slowly, "No, I want to walk the Dragon Carp path you arrange for me."

Lu Ran was taken aback!

He opened his mouth, evidently not prepared to hear such a sudden statement.

Yu Changsheng examined Lu Ran closely and suddenly exclaimed, "You brat, you're really something!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Yu Changsheng clenched his folding fan, "So, you can gain energy by slaughtering the Night Charm Clan, absorbing the energy of the Night Charm deity.

Can you also absorb Divine·Dragon Carp's energy through the slaughter of Dragon Carp... Dragon Carp believers?"

Lu Ran's face wrinkled into a bun.

For real, is this possible?

No! You... this?

Not far away, Deng Yuxiang intervened to calm the situation: "We have indeed held some things back because it's too shocking.

However, we didn't intend to keep it a secret forever, just wanted to reveal it gradually to Mr. Yu."

Lu Ran, on the other hand, changed the topic apologetically: "The Dragon Carp path is truly not easy to arrange."

Dragon Carp believers are already rare, and those who come to the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm are even rarer!

Moreover, Dragon Carp believers are healers at heart, mostly kind and compassionate.

If they don't brandish their knives against Lu Ran, why would Lu Ran go on a senseless killing spree?

The Holy Spirit Energy descending from the sky could certainly cultivate the Dragon Carp Divine Sculpture in the garden, but Lu Ran also needed to cultivate the Lie Tian Divine Sculpture!

He absolutely couldn't interfere with the growth plan; Lu Ran desperately needed the qualification for "exceeding-level slaughter."

So...

Lu Ran looked at Yu Changsheng and asked, "Mr. Yu, what do you think of the Mo Li Clan?"

The Evil Demon·Mo Li, is Divine·Dragon Carp's arch-nemesis.

There are certain similarities in their skill lists.

Yu Changsheng's face softened significantly, "What, reluctant to kill Dragon Carp believers?"

Lu Ran shrugged again.

The meaning was self-explanatory.

"Hehe." Yu Changsheng chuckled softly, adding no further comments.

A person who's willing to slay demons, and even intends to slay gods, but can't bear to harm Dragon Carp believers.

It seems that he is not one to use unscrupulous means for the so-called greater good.

Just as Yu Changsheng was silently contemplating and evaluating the future leader, Lu Ran spoke up, "By the way! Is there a Mo Li Clan in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm?"

While in the human world, the Mo Li Clan primarily haunted coastal areas.

As for terrain like rivers and lakes, this clan seemed to look down upon them?

Though they also had the ability to fly, they hardly ever appeared inland, let alone in the mountains.

"Yes, this realm does have a sea." Yu Changsheng nodded, "I've never traveled too far west, but heading all the way east, one will eventually see the ocean."

"The Holy Spirit Mountain Realm has a sea?" Lu Ran looked surprised, then got excited, "In that case, would you mind blending into the Mo Li Clan?"

Yu Changsheng: "The cost is, I must sever my contract with Divine·Dragon Carp and abandon everything related to Dragon Carp?"

Lu Ran nodded, a trace of longing in his eyes.

Yu Changsheng suddenly laughed, "I'm just asking, wanting to learn more; let's talk about these later."

Lu Ran: "..."

For a human to willingly destroy a contract requires not only courage but can also risk backlash!

Lu Ran realized he had indeed been a bit impatient.

As if he hadn't heard Yu Changsheng's words, he spoke, "Mr. Yu, you can surely wait a bit.

When we return to the human world, I'll plead with Divine·Immortal Goat to solve the problem from a higher dimension, helping you sever the master-servant contract.

This way, you can ensure your power level remains intact, not suffering severe injuries."

"Oh?" Yu Changsheng was slightly surprised.

There were many factors causing him hesitation, and backlash was quite a significant point amongst them.

Lu Ran gestured towards the woman not far away, "That's how she came through, stable condition, solid Realm, didn't drop a rank."

Yu Changsheng looked at Deng Yuxiang, "What believer were you before?"

Deng Yuxiang was silent for a moment, then said softly, "North Wind."

Yu Changsheng was moved.

North Wind, the mortal enemy of the Night Charm Clan.

So did she turn to the Night Charm Clan just by coincidence?

Including Lu Ran's recent suggestion, is it also purely due to similar skills, easier to handle?

Or maybe because...

Yu Changsheng faintly sensed something but wasn't quite sure.

As he was silently pondering, Deng Yuxiang spoke, "Sect Leader."

"Hmm?"

"When do we set off?"

"Don't rush, you just successfully leveled up, stabilize your Realm first."

"Yes." Deng Yuxiang responded.

With deep implications in his eyes, Yu Changsheng glanced at Deng Yuxiang, and then back at Lu Ran, "Sect Leader?"

Lu Ran grinned, this time not in a hurry, "I established the Ran Sect, planning to find more like-minded people like Mr. Yu.

I'm waiting for the day Mr. Yu recognizes us!

Then, I'll appoint you to be a protector."

Once again, Yu Changsheng saw the vibrant, spirited smile of Lu Ran.

This young man, who suddenly entered his life, exposed his heart full of love for talent and recruiting intentions without any concealment.

He persistently planned to lead him down a brand new path.

Yet the young man's smile... seemed a tad too bright.

Like a dazzling beam of light piercing through the heavy clouds covering the world, falling on the dour Holy Spirit Mountain Realm.

Illuminating his decaying skeletal remains.

For a moment, Yu Changsheng didn't want to remain reserved, didn't want to evaluate any longer.

What more is there to lose?

Life?

But wasn't he already rotten before meeting him?

"Which 'Ran' character?" Yu Changsheng suddenly asked.

"The 'Ran' for 'burning'." Lu Ran leaned back, attempting to lie on the water's surface, "Named after me, I'm Lu Ran."

"Ran Sect, sounds quite fiery." Yu Changsheng toyed with his folding fan carefreely, "Then appoint me as a protector."

With a splash.

Lu Ran paddled with his hands and stood up.

He looked at the Sea Realm, Fourth Rank grand healer, both surprised and delighted, "Have you decided to join us, Mr. Yu?"

This wasn't just joining a team but truly joining the Ran Sect!

Yet, didn't Yu Changsheng just refuse the invitation, saying to consider it later?

Suddenly changed his mind?

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, jokingly saying, "Who could refuse the temptation to become a god?"

Lu Ran giggled, "Well, that's true."

"Probably not many in the Ran Sect?"

"Uh, indeed. Just the three of us for now."

Yu Changsheng didn't mind, casually twirling his paper fan.

What man could resist having a separate page in the family register?

If one day, he truly achieves his desires...

He could be considered a follower of the dragon, couldn't he?
