Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

In fact, Lin Ze had long considered the possibility of this happening.

Even though I know the plot, I will definitely prevent this from happening.

But who can predict the future?

Even for someone like him who traveled from another time.

Therefore, Lin Ze had already laid a contingency plan on Shen Qingzhu, a plan that even Shen Qingzhu herself was unaware of.

Shen Qingzhu will only understand Lin Ze's intentions when he actually uses them.

Just when he was feeling disheartened, a miracle actually happened.

The moment she signed the soul contract, Shen Qingzhu felt as if her soul was bound by countless thin threads.

This feeling is very uncomfortable; nobody likes feeling controlled.

Shen Qingzhu was in the same boat, but it was no longer a matter of whether he wanted to or not.

However, just as he resigned himself to his fate, he suddenly felt those thin threads being cut off one by one and replaced by other thin threads.

Although it seemed that he was being controlled, Shen Qingzhu didn't feel that he was being controlled.

It's more like... protection.

With the contract concluded, Shen Qingzhu had, on the surface, signed a contract with Yiyu.

But only Shen Qingzhu herself knew that her fate was still in her own hands.

But he still needed to pretend, to act as if he was being controlled by the delirium.

This was Lin Ze's backup plan.

The method of influencing mental power through the "Ghost Face Appraisal" clashes with the soul contract of the delirious whispers.

Every time Lin Ze planted the [Ghost Face Earth] on Cao Yuan, he would also plant one deep within Shen Qingzhu's spirit.

This mark has no form of expression whatsoever, and no one but Lin Ze himself can detect it.

Over time, Shen Qingzhu developed a natural protective shield for her soul.

How are you feeling right now?

"How did you do that?!"

Yiyu asked excitedly.

As one of the three ancient gods of the Church of the Ancient Gods, he was well aware of the difficulty in expanding the power of the Forbidden Ruins.

It's fair to say that very few people in the entire Church of the Ancient Gods could do this.

Only Shen Qingzhu could perform so perfectly.

Shen Qingzhu pondered for a moment, "Actually, there's no special technique involved."

"I just followed the steps."

"I got the hang of it after two tries."

"It's just that I'm still a bit rusty and not skilled enough at the moment."

Shen Qingzhu told Yiyu the truth.

Upon hearing this, Yiyu's eyes sparkled with undisguised joy.

This time, they might not have really failed!

Originally, in his mind, Shen Qingzhu was nothing more than an extremely dangerous forbidden area.

He didn't care much.

However, if he can expand his forbidden abilities, then his value will be no less than that of Lin Ze and Lin Qiye, the two agents of the gods!

In this world, some people may awaken extraordinary abilities, which people call forbidden ruins.

Later, they began to classify the forbidden ruins into different levels based on their strength.

Harmless forbidden ruins, dangerous forbidden ruins, high-risk forbidden ruins, etc.

From this perspective, it seems that there are clear levels among the abilities of the Forbidden Ruins.

However, after research by the Church of the Ancient Gods, they discovered that this statement and understanding were wrong!

Some of them firmly believe that the Forbidden Ruins have no hierarchy.

But it can evolve.

For example, some harmless forbidden zones can evolve into dangerous forbidden zones, and dangerous forbidden zones can evolve into high-risk forbidden zones.

Some people might be luckier and directly obtain the fully evolved Forbidden Ruins.

But this doesn't mean that the Forbidden Ruins can't evolve anymore once it's in your hands.

People can still explore the other abilities of the forbidden ruins by studying their operating principles, thereby increasing the level of the forbidden ruins, or their danger level.

Take Shen Qingzhu as an example. His forbidden realm was already an extremely high-risk forbidden realm, and after this evolution, the danger level of his forbidden realm has become even higher.

Does this represent an evolution?

That's right, that's exactly it.

Within the Church of the Ancient Gods, this is called "Proficiency in Forbidden Ruins".

People can master 20% through repeated attempts, and that's the limit.

But you can use other methods to make it exceed 20%!

Legend has it that after breaking through to 50%, a huge boost will come!

That will be a transformative change.

This theory was proposed by one of the members of the Church of the Ancient Gods and is a view that is generally accepted by the upper echelons of the Church of the Ancient Gods.

They also felt that they must be among the first to know this.

So they will be the first group of people to break through 50%!

However, they tried many times but failed.

The most advanced part is currently the ramblings, which are roughly estimated to have reached 32%.

He thus came to understand the various abilities of [Mengqi], which was an important factor in establishing himself in his Ancient God Church.

Now, it seems that Yiyu has discovered someone more talented than herself.

Most importantly, this person is also his own soul slave!

This is a huge windfall!

"Not bad, not bad!"

Do you know your career path?

"The ball of light should have already explained everything in detail, right?"

The man's eyes were somewhat delirious, like a survivor who had been trapped in the desert for a long time and finally saw water.

Shen Qingzhu was a little scared when she saw him like this.

However, she nodded and replied, "Yes, I can see it."

"If I don't aim to master it and just learn it, it will probably take me a year to fully learn it."

Shen Qingzhu felt that the things inside those orbs of light weren't difficult; if she really wanted to learn them...

It takes about six months to learn everything, and after learning it, it takes another six months to become completely proficient.

However, he remained cautious and spent half the time talking to the babbling tale.

When Yiyu heard this, her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Those people from the Church of the Ancient Gods, let alone in a year, even in five years, would be considered exceptionally gifted if they could even ramble on.

But Shen Qingzhu said that she could master it completely in a year?

My God, what kind of monster is this?

Seeing the delirious state of the woman, Shen Qingzhu felt a little hesitant. Had she said too much?

So the other party is unwilling to train me?

No, I need to say less, but I also need to give myself time.

So Shen Qingzhu tentatively asked, "Then... nine months?"

"In that case, I won't be able to help the organization complete its mission and obtain the forbidden items that suit me."

Shen Qingzhu was, after all, hanging out with Lin Ze.

They even learned Lin Ze's friendly qualities.

Good heavens, they're taking both food and loot.

Yiyu quickly said, "No, no, no, you don't need to do any tasks."

"You just need to figure it out carefully."

"As for those forbidden items, you don't need to worry about them at all."

"I still have some influence in the Church of the Ancient Gods; I can give you these forbidden items directly!"

"But the prerequisite is that you must be able to grasp it at a fast enough pace."

"So, you said you needed a year? I'll give you three years."

"You don't need to do any tasks during this period; you just need to comprehend your own Forbidden Realm ability."

"If you need anything, just let me know anytime."

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhu almost burst out laughing.

Wow, he's actually getting a government-funded scholarship for studying abroad.

It seems the other party intends to groom me as their successor.

At this moment, Shen Qingzhu only hoped that Lin Ze's side could act quickly.

Don't wait until you've become the leader of the Ancient Gods Church before they finally close in.

If that time really comes, Shen Qingzhu might need to revise the membership criteria of the Ancient God Church.

To enter the Church of the Old Gods, one must devoutly recite the Night's Watch Oath.

"good!"

"If there are no external interferences, I will spend the rest of my time studying my forbidden abilities and I will definitely not let you down!"

Yiyu chuckled and patted Shen Qingzhu's shoulder, saying "okay" many times in a row.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Shen Qingzhu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"I will definitely do everything in my power to nurture you!"

As she said this, a scene flashed through Yiyu's mind.

Several years later, Shen Qingzhu's mastery of the forbidden realm reached more than 50%, or even more.

Then he will surely become a powerful weapon for the Church of the Ancient Gods!

At that time, who would dare to say no to me?

With him and Shen Qingzhu together, the two of them will definitely be able to control the entire Ancient God Church.

In this way, the Church of the Ancient Gods will only have one person in charge, and that is his delirium!

Moreover, and more importantly... Shen Qingzhu absolutely obeys him.

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited.

At the same time, Yiyu and Shen Qingzhu were both overjoyed.

The only difference is that one is done openly, while the other is done covertly.

They both felt they had hit the jackpot.

But there's always someone who loses out, and as for who that person is, I won't say.

Because...it's really hard to guess!

Just then, the tall, thin man standing nearby became somewhat envious.

Having served in the Church of the Ancient Gods for so long, risking his life on missions and working for the church, he finally obtained a forbidden item that suited him.

Why is it that this kid, who just arrived, gets the whole set without having to do anything?

This is not fair!

However, although he was very unhappy, he did not show it.

Because he knew that Shen Qingzhu was currently favored.

Picking a fight now is tantamount to courting death.

Although he was considered one of the top combatants in the Church of the Ancient Gods, he also knew that the church didn't really need another one like him!

Helpless, he could only silently endure it all.

"Let's go! Back to headquarters!"

"For the next period of time, you don't need to do anything; just focus on improving yourself!"

"good!"

Shen Qingzhu readily agreed.

You don't have to do anything wrong, and there are people watching your cultivation and giving you cultivation advice.

You don't have to worry about resources either; where else can you find such a good deal?

Even the Night's Watch probably couldn't do that, right?

Shen Qingzhu suddenly felt that being an undercover agent might not be such a bad thing after all.

Just then, a sound came from the bushes not far away.

Shen Qingzhu played her part perfectly, immediately blocking Yiyu's path.

"Who's there!"

"Get out here right now!"

Shen Qingzhu's fingers were already ready.

If it's an enemy, use your new move.

If it's one of our own, then we'll find a way to blow him up.

Although they may get injured, at least they can save their lives.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before!"

"I didn't even know that. You're obviously a newbie."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, a candidate came to mind.

The snake woman, a divine agent who disappeared after her failed attack on Cangnan City.

Yiyu looked at her warily, "Why is it you?"

Where have you been all this time?

"Why are you suddenly appearing now? Who are you?!"

He asked in a loud, delirious voice.

He must be careful now, because with Shen Qingzhu as his treasure, he only needs to develop stealthily.

He wouldn't allow any accidents to happen.

The snake woman said somewhat displeased, "Don't even mention it. This period has been too difficult. I've been living in fear every day."

"But thankfully, fate didn't forsake me!"

Seeing that the snake woman was still the same as before, Yiyu lowered her guard.

But he still couldn't quite believe it.

"Explain what has happened to you recently."

The snake woman flicked out her forked tongue to reassure them that their identities had not been switched.

"I know you doubt me now, but that's normal."

"Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you the truth."

"That day, after Han Shaoyun and I were defeated, Han Shaoyun died on the spot."

"Perhaps because I am a representative of the gods, I did not die immediately, but instead appeared on a pitch-black stage."

"I deduce that this is Lin Ze's inner world."

"It was the god within him who trapped me here, and I tried many methods to escape, but to no avail."

"Fortunately, you managed to win over Lin Ze's inner world by chance, causing turmoil in his mind."

"I escaped because of this opportunity."

"How about that? Do I need to explain anything further?"

Upon hearing this, the babbling began to carefully consider its meaning.

What she said made perfect sense; first and foremost, she was a divine agent, and there was indeed some possibility of that.

However, this is precisely what she referred to as her inner world.

He did manage to win over Lin Ze's inner world, but it had no effect whatsoever.

He remembers nothing, except that his world was indeed a stage, and that's true.

As for her claim that the turmoil on stage gave her the opportunity to step out, that's quite reasonable.

After all, a dream wouldn't believe that it could enter someone else's inner world without achieving anything.

From this perspective, it seems that his efforts to win over Lin Ze's inner world weren't entirely fruitless; at the very least, he rescued a divine agent.

This can be considered as replenishing the fighting strength of the Church of the Ancient Gods.

Moreover, the snake woman's abilities are very unique and of great use to the Church of the Ancient Gods.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Yiyu asked, "By the way, do you still possess Medusa's abilities?"

The snake woman rolled her eyes at him. "Of course, do you think divine powers are like public transportation? They come and go as they please?"

"If you don't believe me, then I'll try it out with this newcomer."

As she spoke, a green light appeared in the snake woman's eyes.

The babbling was quickly stopped.

We finally found a promising talent, we can't let her ruin it.

Thinking of this, Yiyu suddenly revealed a long-lost smile.

"Our Church of the Ancient Gods has a bright future!"
