Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 320: The Beauty Trap

Setting down his teacup, Zhongli said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Paimon crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly upward, and whimpered twice.

"Hmph, I love being a riddle solver!"

Riddler Zhong Li: "..."

Upon seeing this, Du Bafang looked down at his nose and then at his heart, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

In this world, only Xiao Pai Meng can talk to Zhong Li like this, right?

As expected of Little Paimon, despite having only one-fifth the fighting strength of a wild boar, he is incredibly brave.

Fortunately, Du Siji and the others were quite fast and did not keep Zhong Li waiting for long; they had already arrived outside the mountain gate.

As if he had thought of something, Zhongli said to Du Bafang, "Let's go and meet the younger generation in the sect. They probably have many questions that need to be answered."

Du Bafang's mouth gaped slightly, somewhat taken aback.

He only sensed them when they arrived at the sect's gate.

During that period, he had no idea what Du Siji and the others were "plotting".

"What are these brats doing?"

"Just follow the sect leader firmly, why have so many doubts!"

"They even had the sect leader personally answer their questions!"

Du Bafang said this subconsciously. He was a staunch fan of the Martial God, so it was only natural for him to say such a thing.

"That's not how you say it."

Zhong Li waved his hand and continued, "Everyone makes mistakes."

"I cannot guarantee that everything I say or do is correct."

"It's good for young people to have their own ideas. If you have doubts about something, don't keep them to yourself. Talk about it."

"You grow by asking questions and solving problems!"

"You shouldn't be so rigid; you need to learn to accept the ideas of young people."

"They did the right thing!"

After hearing this, Du Bafang thought about it for a moment and then accepted it.

Everyone says he is a staunch fan of the God of War, and he never questions Zhong Li's words.

Just like now.

"How could the sect leader possibly make a mistake?"

"I made a mistake a while ago."

"How can it not be a mistake to slightly distort the essence of a contract?"

Zhong Li gladly accepted the criticism; after all, who doesn't make mistakes?

Even if he is not human now, doesn't he still think about problems with a human mindset?

If you think about problems from the perspective of a demon god, this problem simply won't exist...

Du Bafang could accept Zhong Li's words, but Paimeng's eyes twitched slightly.

Zhong Li really...

cry!

Even after stepping down, he still cares so much about the contract.

You are no longer the Geo Archon, nor are you one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm, so why are you still so sensitive about contracts?

Upon closer examination, the title "God of Contracts" was "bestowed" upon Zhongli by the people of Liyue, not by Sky Island.

He cares so much about the people of Liyue, how could he possibly abandon the title of God of Contracts?

God of War, God of Contracts, Rock King Emperor, Kitchen God...

Among them, the title of Kitchen God should refer to the rice crust.

But Guoba sacrificed himself for the people of Liyue, and few people remember him. Therefore, the title was given to Zhongli.

"As expected of the sect leader, he admits his mistake. For such a powerful figure to willingly admit his error is truly remarkable!"

Du Bafang didn't care whether Zhong Li admitted to being wrong, nor did he care what wrong Zhong Li admitted to being wrong.

Anyway, everything Zhongli says is correct.

In a short while, the three arrived outside the council hall, and just then, about a hundred young people appeared before them, a meeting that could be described as perfectly timed.

"Greetings, Sect Master, Acting Sect Master!"

Everyone quickly bowed, even though these two didn't care about etiquette at all, they couldn't be so casual.

The proper etiquette must be observed.

"Um……"

Zhong Li nodded, condensed an amber-colored energy in his right hand, and with a wave of his hand, everyone was helped up.

"I already know why you've come."

"You are the future of the sect, the future of Douluo Continent."

"Full of youthful vigor and kind-hearted..."

Half an hour later, everyone was smiling, almost forgetting their original intentions, and tears were streaming down their faces.

Indeed, in this world, the only one who truly cares about these young people is the sect leader.

This time, he is the acting sect leader.

Living up to the expectations of the sect leader and acting sect leader is what they should do.

The cultivation speed is about the same, but much faster than before. Isn't that a good thing?

What's there to be conflicted about?

Could it be that the sect leader would harm them?

If the sect leader wanted them to die, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; they would be willing to die!

What's up with this?

"Raise questions and resolve them. If your mind is not clear, it is not a good thing for cultivation."

"You should have noticed that your cultivation speed doesn't seem to be limited by your talent."

"That's right, it was indeed me who did it, or you could say it was you who did it."

"???"

The first sentence was understood by everyone, but the second sentence left everyone puzzled.

What did they do?

Isn't it always the sect leader who's been making the sacrifices?

"It is indeed your own power; I am simply returning it to you."

For this group of Soul Masters, Soul Kings, and a Soul Emperor, Zhongli's words were completely incomprehensible.

For Paimon, Zhongli was a riddle-maker.

Even with his mastery of poison, he was somewhat confused, not understanding what Zhong Li was talking about.

"This power is called the power of faith."

"It is because you have developed faith in me and become my followers that the power of faith has been generated."

"The power of faith can unconditionally enhance one's strength. When a certain amount of faith power is accumulated, it can even ignite divine fire, condense a divine spark, and become a god."

"The faith you have in me has been used to enhance your talents and heal your hidden wounds..."

Zhongli did not embezzle a single bit of faith power, because at his level, having or not having this amount of faith power made little difference.

Of course, having it is slightly better than not having it...

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present changed drastically, and their pupils involuntarily contracted.

They had considered many possibilities, but this was something they had never thought of.

The power of faith can lead to godhood...

But their sect leader used the power of faith on these "useless" people...

At that moment, everyone's eyes turned red.

"metropolitan……"

His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

It truly felt like a fishbone stuck in my throat!

No wonder, no wonder they all became geniuses.

No wonder they were able to accomplish such incredible things.

It was all Zhongli's "sacrifice" that brought this together!

"Sect Master, please don't waste your faith power on us!"

"You should be striving for a divine position, instead of wasting your faith on us!"

"Ignite the divine fire, forge divinity!"

"The Douluo Continent needs a god, and our own martial souls also need a god!"

"A war god who surpasses all deities!"

"Sect Master, please reconsider!"
