Chapter 1074: Chapter 933: Gas Leak Incident

Lu Xiang guided the direction of the topic, steering the atmosphere towards serious matters; this was her strategy.

She possessed a talent entirely opposite to that of Song Lan.

If the latter could turn any serious atmosphere into a relaxed and humorous state, then Lu Xiang could make a light-hearted atmosphere become solemn. Her strategy had indeed achieved outstanding results, capturing the attention of several guests entirely on the topic of the "New Era" and thereby diverting it from her current dress and the awkward behavior of rushing into Song Lan’s arms when the door opened.

In life, one inevitably encounters socially fatal situations, but Lu Xiang was never one to sit idly by and await doom. Compared to those who would think of finding a time machine or moving to another planet, she preferred to resolve awkwardness in the present.

"Can cultivation for health truly halt the process of species evolution?"

Even Yaku, who was the most convinced about the cultivation, couldn’t help but express his doubts, as he couldn’t find any scientific correlation between the two.

Though the evolution of species sounded far-fetched, after his recent business trip to District 17 and hearing about the events in Atlantis, The Strongest Six-Star rescuer "Emperor", who had once resided on the Silent Continent, wouldn’t lie about the residents evolving into Fishmen.

He simply couldn’t figure out what those who survived the plague might turn into if "Corruption" succeeded.

"Yes."

Song Lan said, "But the important thing is to continue this practice persistently."

"This is the principle of Believers, right? Even though you’ve changed the phrasing, the essence is the same."

Hidden in the shadows, "Little Black δ" spoke up, "Also, why didn’t you prepare my place setting? Am I not a guest?"

"You eat as well?"

"Although Consciousness Entities don’t have dietary needs, since I’ve come, it seems a bit off not to eat anything."

δ emerged from the shadows and found her place at the dinner table.

Attending a dinner hosted by the Devil, they joked that this was a bragging right even greater than defeating a Six-Star rescuer.

"Hold on, what do you mean by the principle of Believers?"

Rose frowned, having long suspected that Song Lan’s proposed cultivation had a trick.

"Isn’t it obvious? You hand over your faith to a Deity just like those Believers, and in return, he ensures you remain unaffected by ’evolution’."

δ, speaking up for Song Lan uncommonly, said, "Handing your faith to him is much more reliable than to those inactive deities."

She hadn’t been idle during the days she leaned on Jasmine. As a Six-Star rescuer with the highest level of access, she was able to investigate many archived documents. In a dusty cellar of an old library, she discovered a handwritten chronicle of the Church.

The chronicle contained many snippets about the Devil.

There were many pathways of faith, but only Song Lan was referred to as the Devil, and it was clear from the chronicles that communications between the Devil and Believers were the most frequent, as well as his favorite to intervene in Church affairs.

This resulted in an unusual phenomenon.

Prayers to Deities were often ethereal, and one might spend a lifetime without receiving a response.

However, dealings made with the Devil invariably took immediate effect.

Thus according to the information provided by the chronicles, Song Lan genuinely dealt with real issues.

"Hog Foster became a Standin messenger, awakening the ability to stop time, and Roger mastered Natural Power—both are manifestations of deals made with the Devil."

Indeed, since the incident in District Two, δ had become a staunch supporter of the Devil.

She wasn’t any "Little Black"; it was just that she and people like Jasmine held different views.

In her eyes, the Devil should belong to the evil faction; they should be brewing conspiracies in secret and then stir up significant incidents that would thrust the entire world into chaos, and when war arrived, it was an optimal time for the Devil to harvest followers, while her abilities could also get a share of the pie.

To this end, she tirelessly enlightened others about how powerful and ruthless the past Song Lan was, intending to make Jasmine and Yaku realize they were on a villainous path.

As part of the evil forces, the first thing they should do was to adjust their mentality, to do the real deeds villains ought to do, instead of wasting time studying tea ceremony or fashion trends.

δ’s words successfully turned everyone’s gaze towards Song Lan.

The atmosphere at the dining table turned extremely weird.

Because typically, faith needed to be based on distance to exist.

Only long, unrewarded prayers and a spirit of dedication despite the unlikely chances of response could truly carry the name of faith.

It was rare in this world for the Deity that Believers worshiped to invite them home for a meal and cook for them personally.

"Don’t look at me like that; I’m not like them,"

Song Lan said.

Clearly, δ was partially informed about the higher world, leading her to such absurd conclusions.

Those familiar with him usually referred to him as a "Faith Thief," with one main reason being that he had never established his own path within the Church and due to some deeply rooted prejudices, others always thought that he had deceived Believers and fooled them into betraying their own paths with smooth talk.
