"You can try it. You're a master too. Tomorrow, all you need to do is act extremely arrogant, and I'll reward you tomorrow night. Then you'll know if what I said is true. After all, someone with your strength can clearly feel whether their life force is being lost. If you feel your life force being lost, just stop. You won't lose anything anyway," God said.

Zuo Han was slightly taken aback by his words, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try. What will happen if I succeed?"

"If you succeed, I hope you can develop more of my followers in your sect. I can give you power, but my followers are the source of my power. The more followers you develop, the more power I will have. The greater my power, the more power I will give you. How about it?"

Upon hearing Shen's words, Zuo Han's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Okay."

"That's for the best." After saying his last words, the god vanished. The next moment, Zuo Han woke up. He let out a long breath and looked around, finding himself in his own room. He immediately understood what had happened. He sat up, thinking about the matter. He needed to think carefully about the pros and cons. He was certain that the god was there because he had seen the statue earlier that day; it wasn't a dream, but a real god with immense power. As for the god's claim that Chen Feng and the others died because of insufficient potential and their inability to focus on cultivation, he only believed half of it. He planned to try it tomorrow. If he succeeded, all the better; if not, so be it.

The next morning, Zuo Han remembered the god's words and put on an arrogant look. He was usually a rather serious person, so no one else noticed any change in him. When he returned to his room that evening, Zuo Han sat in his quiet room, closed his eyes, and kept calling out to the god in his mind. The next moment, he found himself suddenly in that space, with the god's statue still there watching him.

Before Zuo Han could speak, the statue said, "You have displayed arrogance to others, and I will reward you." After saying that, Zuo Han found himself instantly sober.

Zuo Han was unaware that God's attitude towards him was different from that towards Chen Feng and the others. God was relatively more lenient towards him, while he was extremely arrogant towards Chen Feng and the others.

Zuo Han was unaware of these things. After hearing the god's words, he decided to give it a try, so he immediately began cultivating. He wanted to see how his cultivation would go.

As soon as he started cultivating, he immediately noticed the difference. He found that the spiritual energy around him seemed to be desperately trying to enter his body, which was completely different from the way it used to enter his body, which surprised Zuo Han. However, while Zuo Han was cultivating, he was also paying attention to another thing, which was whether his life force was being lost.

He discovered that his life force had not been lost. Zuo Han was overjoyed, but he quickly controlled his emotions. He continued to cultivate until the nine cycles of his life force were completed. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly open his eyes. He checked again and indeed found that he had not lost any life force. However, his strength had improved significantly.

A glint flashed in Zuo Han's eyes. This discovery was extremely important to him. Although he was very strong now, he was not strong enough. His Qinglan Sect was not the strongest sect. He wanted to make the Qinglan Sect stronger. If he could really make the Qinglan Sect stronger, he would definitely become the strongest sect leader in the history of the Qinglan Sect and would be remembered forever by the people of the Qinglan Sect.

Zuo Han was considering this possibility. With the help of the gods, the strength of their Qinglan Sect would indeed improve rapidly. However, there was a prerequisite: too many people could not die. Otherwise, if a disciple suddenly died, and then another disciple died, it would be a huge blow to the Qinglan Sect.

Thinking of this, Zuo Han decided that he would ask God again tonight to see if God could resolve this matter. What Zuo Han didn't realize was that he had now accepted God's existence, his wariness of God had completely disappeared, and he was becoming increasingly dependent on God.

That night, after Zuo Han fell asleep, he returned to that space. As soon as he appeared, the voice of the god came: "How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Zuo Han said in a deep voice, "Yes, you didn't lie to me, but why did you act a little strange when I was receiving the reward?"

God said, "That was just one of my clones. It's impossible for me to keep an eye on you all the time. So, under normal circumstances, it's my clones who give you rewards."

Zuo Han nodded, understanding what was going on. He then asked, "If I help you recruit followers, will it make the disciples of our Qinglan Sect stronger?"

"Yes." God's answer was very simple.

Zuo Han then continued, "If that's really the case, then if they also receive rewards from you, won't it drain their life force?"

The god spoke, "Yes." Zuo Han frowned and asked, "Is there a way to prevent them from overdrawing their life force?"

"Yes, if you really don't want them to overdraw their life force and want to improve their strength, there are ways. You can attack others and use their lives to replace your own life force."

Zuo Han was taken aback, then said, "You mean if we kill someone, you can absorb that person's life force to replace our own?"

"That's right, but there are two conditions. First, you must have killed the other party yourselves; someone else can't kill them. Second, you must be carrying my idol; it won't work if you're not carrying my idol."

Zuo Han nodded, then said in a deep voice, "Then, in the very beginning, is it possible to avoid this method? In other words, is it possible to first increase their strength and then gradually replenish their life force?"

"No, but improving their strength first is still possible. As long as they become my followers, I can raise their strength to the upper limit of their potential. In other words, without overdrawing their life force, I can let their potential be fully realized and their strength reach their maximum level."

Zuo Han's eyes lit up, and he said, "Good, this is a good idea. We can give it a try. I can get other people to become your followers first, but it's not an easy task."

“You can show my idol to everyone in your sect, and then I can enter their dreams to talk to them about this matter. I can also take you into their dreams with me. This should make them my followers.”

"It's worth a try. How about I try it tomorrow?"

The next day, Zuo Han made a statue of the God of Pride and placed it in his study. Then he summoned several of his trusted hall masters to his study.

After the hall masters arrived, Zuo Han glanced at them, then invited them to sit down. He pointed to the statue of the God of Pride and said to his confidants, "See this? This is a statue. This statue has magical abilities. Look at this statue carefully and remember the details. Do you understand?"

Although the hall masters didn't understand what was going on, they were Zuo Han's confidants after all, so they listened to Zuo Han's words. They all stared at the statue of the God of Pride, memorizing every detail of the statue. Then Zuo Han let them leave. After they left, Zuo Han called the outer sect elders into his room.

As soon as the outer sect elder entered Zuo Han's room, he saw the statue and was momentarily stunned. However, he still bowed to Zuo Han, who said, "I called you here today for this matter." As he spoke, he pointed to the statue. The outer sect elder responded and waited for Zuo Han to continue.

Zuo Han said, "I already know about this matter, so don't investigate it for now. Just wait for my news. As for the matter at the mine, you don't need to worry about it. Just let them continue as usual."

The outer sect elder responded. Although he didn't know why Zuo Han made this decision, Zuo Han was the sect leader, and he certainly wouldn't disobey him since Zuo Han had already made such a decision, so he immediately agreed.

Zuo Han nodded, then waved his hand, dismissing the outer sect elder. The outer sect elder bowed to Zuo Han and turned to leave. As he left, he stole a glance at Zuo Han and noticed that Zuo Han's expression sometimes really resembled that of the statue. This made the outer sect elder's heart skip a beat, but he said nothing and simply turned and left.

The day passed quickly. In the evening, Zuo Han first received his reward from the God of Arrogance, and then began his cultivation. He discovered that his strength had improved again, which was definitely good news for him. Reaching their level of strength made further progress extremely difficult, and his progress in the past two days was something he might not have achieved even after two months of cultivation in the past. This was what surprised Zuo Han the most. At the same time, Zuo Han also discovered that his life force had not been lost, which was his most satisfying aspect.

That night, after Zuo Han fell asleep, he entered that space again. The next moment, he found that his trusted hall masters had also appeared in this space. When they first entered the space, they were all a little nervous and looked around. However, as soon as they saw Zuo Han, their expressions slowly returned to normal, and they all bowed to Zuo Han.

Zuo Han said, "No need for formalities. The reason I had you look at the statues of God during the day was so that you would memorize them and remember them. That way, you can come here tonight. Come, let me tell you about God. This is a good opportunity for you." (End of Chapter)
