Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s first reaction was that the comb was quite boastful.
If he was a god, why bother changing worlds? Isn’t being a god enjoyable enough without having to become a cat?
Though, being a cat would be quite joyful too.
"Master, I bear a Divine Oracle from you personally. After answering a question, you must specify a question for me to answer, and I must answer correctly."
While Lu Zixun pondered the credibility of the comb’s words, the comb suddenly spoke.
"What happens if I don’t answer?"
Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow, opening up a challenging dialogue.
Feng Kui Ming appeared troubled, "If it were during your peak, naturally nothing would happen. But now, master might encounter some unpleasant incidents."
Lu Zixun clearly didn’t quite believe this statement.
As he thought this, suddenly his heart tightened, as if something was about to happen.
The comb lying on the ground floated up, "Master, do you like me?"
Lu Zixun answered without hesitation.
Something strange happened, as soon as Lu Zixun returned to the comb’s question, the odd feeling that had arisen in his heart suddenly vanished.
What kind of strange power was this?
While Lu Zixun furrowed his brow in thought, he suddenly felt a wave of sadness emanating from the comb.
The comb trembled continuously as if it were... crying?
Stunned, Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched, what was going on here? Was it because he said he didn’t like it?
However, Lu Zixun obviously wouldn’t cater to the emotions of a comb. After some thought, he asked, "What exactly happened to this world?"
The comb sobbed, "Master, are you asking about the Divinity of this world?"
The comb seemed to have found its purpose, joyously floating and bouncing in the air, "This world has no Divinity, only the will of Divinity’s descent. Even so, this world has come to the edge of collapse and is now prepared to invade the real world to maintain stability."
Lu Zixun’s mind raced, eyes filled with confusion.
Invading the real world...
So, this world does indeed exist, just independently outside the real world, not within the Third-order World?
A place similar to an Otherworld...
Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment, "Otherworld?"
The comb nodded as it bobbed up and down, "Master, did you have breakfast today?"
Lu Zixun thought for a moment, "From what I know, this world has been destroyed after the Ancient God, and the Moon God has perished. Why does this world continue to exist in a technologically regressed form?"
"This world’s technological level is just as you see. What you might perceive are merely dreams constructed by the Moon God, who has not fallen but is also known as the Dark Night Goddess."
Pausing, the comb continued, "The world you are in now is the real yet unreal but existing world, it’s currently trying to connect with the Second Layer World."
"The emergence of God’s Church is meant to prevent such occurrences. If the two worlds connect, it will cause the Third-order World’s level linkages to reunite, and ultimately, the Third-order World will appear on this plane."
"By then, ancient Divinity will slowly awaken, some are True Gods, and some are Ancient Gods, but you once said... there are no real distinctions between True Gods and Ancient Gods, they..."
What the comb said next, Lu Zixun could no longer hear.
However, from the comb’s recent words, Lu Zixun did discern some information.
When they entered the Zijing District, they might have already entered into the rules set by the Dark Night Goddess.
That is the already collapsed modern society.
Lu Zixun felt odd establishing a church in the modern world today.
"Ding—Host has collected a World Mystery, current progress 9/178."
"As the Divinity begins to awaken, it signifies that this era is nearing its end."
"With the awakening of a Divinity, naturally there is the death of a Divinity. No one can escape the cycle of fate, even the former... God of Destiny."
"The true purpose of the Realm Breaker may be related to the awakening."
The content carried in the World Mystery made Lu Zixun narrow his eyes.
Previously, the comb’s claim that he was the God of Destiny was something Lu Zixun naturally didn’t believe.
But now... Lu Zixun was starting to believe it a bit.
If Lu Zixun really could control fate, then the emergence of the system wouldn’t be so strange.
There is no such thing as the Heavenly Favored Son, only one’s own arrangements.
No wonder I am so amazing, I am indeed a god.
With a satisfied thought, Lu Zixun began re-evaluating this intelligence information.
The Moon God is also known as the Dark Night Goddess, proficient in constructing dreams...
This world is combating an unknown Divinity.
And God’s Church may just be the key to this struggle.
But merely a will possessing B-level Power of Faith, Lu Zixun didn’t think he could do much in this confrontation.
Better to find a way to collect spiritual characteristics.
Regarding the true objective of the Realm Breaker, Lu Zixun decided to discuss it later.
Right now, as a J-level, he had better think realistically about how to enhance his strength.
"You’re called Feng Kui Ming, what does this ’Feng’ mean?"
Just as the comb was about to reply, a thunderous roar from the basement covered up the voice of the comb.
The comb swallowed back the half syllable it had uttered, "Master, I merely mentioned one syllable and was already noticed by the Divinity."
"If I had spoken it fully, it might have drawn all the awakened Divinity here, which wouldn’t be a good thing. So, I suggest, master, you might want to change your question."
Just asking about the origin of a name could draw the gaze of Divinity...
Lu Zixun felt quite fatigued, thought for a moment, and changed his question, "Is the purpose of establishing God’s Church to combat a certain existence?"
"Within God’s Church, there are divine traits left by the Dark Night Goddess. Once God’s Church is established and gathers faith, the Dark Night Goddess can descend into this world, although this requires a vast amount of the Power of Faith."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun seemed to have reached some understanding.
The system could utilize the Power of Faith to exchange for Divine Fragments.
Perhaps this is the path to becoming a god?
