I logged into the God panel.

Southern District Police Station, underground safe house.

The boy, nestled in the arms of the policewoman, slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake?" the policewoman asked with a smile.

"Um!"

Lu Daosheng looked like he was still half asleep. He propped himself up, stretched, and lowered his eyelashes to hide the depth in his eyes.

Did I just hear some kind of prayer?

It sounded like something Lin Shuen had said...

My thoughts were racing.

The Gao family is gone.

It was already gone before he dropped that spiritual 'meteorite'—he saw it clearly in the spirit world.

It just seems the spiritual meteorite hit some unlucky guy... Oh well, it's not my parents.

Lu Daosheng took the Coke handed to him by the policewoman, gulped it down, and his thoughts were in turmoil.

Although he only glimpsed reality from the spirit world, he still saw the man with the staff and a mysterious woman standing on an ancient ship.

The ancient ship was surrounded by all sorts of bizarre dreams... probably Mom's.

It seems that my parents and I are on the same page – people who want to solve the manufacturing problem at its root.

Lu Daosheng put down his Coke cup and lowered his head.

Those three fighters had already been submerged by my spiritual river, so they were naturally beyond saving... Unfortunately, I couldn't find any alchemical artifacts or sealing items on them.

It's a bit of a loss.

As I pondered, the door to the safe house opened.

"The Way is born!"

Zhao Baiqin rushed over, first hugging her son, then quickly checking him over to make sure he wasn't injured before letting out a sigh of relief.

Lu Daosheng spoke softly.

"Mom, are you alright?"

"It's okay, Mom is okay..."

As they were talking, Lu Tianyang, dressed in a police uniform, rushed in. Seeing that his wife and son were safe and sound, he felt relieved.

The family of three were reunited, and they almost embraced and wept.

"Why does it feel like someone's missing..." Lu Daosheng muttered softly, feeling almost suffocated by his parents' hugs.

"Your sister is fine. She's at White Elephant Academy. She'll be alright." Zhao Baiqin released her son.

Watching the family of three being so affectionate, the policewoman quietly withdrew.

Time passed little by little.

About half an hour has passed.

The South District Chief hurried in, followed by a priest.

"This is Priest Chen Xuan of the Sun Church."

The director pointed to the priest:

"Of the four major churches, only the Church of the Sun approved my application and sent a priest to protect your family's safety... Luckily, Lao Lu, you have the Medal of Excellence."

The family of three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Close protection?

Almost simultaneously, they both thought, "Oh no!"

"Officer Lu."

Father Chen stepped forward with a smile, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Baiqin, and politely shook hands with Lu Tianyang.

They did not look down on the other person at all because he was an ordinary person.

He laughed:

"I am a scholar on the path to the second level, a mid-level priest. After the church learned about your heroic act of rescuing four children from a fire, Officer Lu, they specifically assigned me to protect your family... What about the little girl?"

Lu Tianyang's expression remained unchanged, his smile equally radiant.

"With the priest's protection, I can finally rest easy... My daughter passed the spiritual test and has gone to White Elephant Academy, which belongs to your church."

"I see, then this really is fate."

Father Chen said warmly:

"When I came here, I asked some friends and they told me that it was Chairman Gao from the South District who issued the bounty."

After a pause, he said gently:

"Unfortunately, a nuclear fuel explosion occurred at Lake Kago, and it has been placed under emergency lockdown. Chairman Gao lives at Lake Kago, so he's probably already..."

"However, given that the bounty missions still exist, and as is customary, they may even continue for up to three months, I will stay with everyone for these three months until we find those wild superhumans who have accepted the bounties."

The couple exchanged a glance, forced smiles, and said things they didn't mean:

"This is wonderful!"

After a pause, Lu Tianyang frowned:

"Nuclear fuel explosion accident?"

Zhao Baiqin looked worried:

"I have an urgent project to follow up on at Tunghai University. Staying in the safe house for three months might be..."

"There's no need to stay in the safe house."

Father Chen's smile remained unchanged:

"Everyone can still carry out their work as usual. I have extensive research in the field of interdimensional travel and can make perfect jumps and travels in the spirit world."

As he spoke, he pulled three medals from his pocket:

"The three of you wear the medals. Whenever you encounter danger, the medals will be activated immediately, allowing me to use them as anchors to jump and arrive at your location instantly."

"In addition, the medal also provides secondary protection, protecting against attacks from firearms and other weapons."

The family of three accepted the medals with beaming smiles and expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

"You're welcome."

Father Chen spoke elegantly:

"For the next three months, in order to protect everyone, I wonder if I could stay at Officer Lu's house? If there are no spare rooms, the sofa will do."

Lu Tianyang's heart tightened—could the church's protection reach this level?

fart!

Damn it, could it have discovered something and is coming for me?

The same thought also arose in Zhao Baiqin's mind, but Lu Daosheng remained calm.

Zhang Youwei's previous visit to my house was on a bounty mission issued by someone from the Sun Church, and the purpose was self-evident... to test my mother and, incidentally, to find the Howling Puppet.

This guy in front of me is probably someone the Church of the Sun deliberately planted in their ranks under the guise of this opportunity...

They claim to be protectors, but in reality, they are monitors.

But if it's confirmed that Mom is a fallen saint, why doesn't the Church of the Sun just take action?

Is it because they are waiting for the high bishop the old priest mentioned to arrive?

Or is it because they are not entirely sure whether their mother is a fallen saint?

Or perhaps, both?

Lu Daosheng's gaze deepened.

A watcher.

Trouble.

Should we also send a spiritual meteorite to the Sun Church's cathedral in Donghai City?

Forget it.

That's a busy downtown area; I wonder how many people will die there... The commotion at Deer Lake this time has exceeded my expectations.

Fortunately, Gao Chong lived on an island in the middle of the lake, where there was no one around...

"If the three of you are willing, you can go home now."

Father Chen smiled and spoke, then suddenly snapped his fingers, as if remembering something:

"By the way, Director."

He glanced sideways at the South District Chief:

"According to the church's understanding, Chairman Gao's family seems to have some connection with cult members. Although Chairman Gao has died in the nuclear fuel explosion accident, we still ask the Director to issue an arrest warrant to arrest his family members and transfer them to the church for investigation."

"No problem!" The commissioner nodded quickly, watching as Father Chen and the Lu family walked out of the safe house and left the police station.

Before leaving the police station, the female police officer waved goodbye to Lu Daosheng.

…………

back home.

Zhao Baiqin tidied up Lu Yu's room.

"Lu Yu will probably be staying at school, so for the next three months, Your Excellency will have to make do with this room."

"What's there to feel aggrieved about?" Father Chen's face remained consistently smiling, his gaze deep and penetrating.

"It's getting late, Officer Lu, Mrs. Zhao, you should get some rest, and of course, you, little one too."

He smiled and patted Lu Daosheng's head.

Lu Daosheng, with an innocent expression, felt the continuous, faint flow of ice on the Sun Medal pinned to his chest.

He suddenly thought of something.

Lu Daosheng spoke crisply:

"Mom and Dad, I think your medals look better. Let's change them..."

As he spoke, Lu Daosheng handed over the medal, touching his parents' medals at the same time.

bumped into.

Clutching it in my hand.

The ice flow was fierce.

[Attribute Points: 0.12]

[Attribute Points: 0.32]

[Attribute Points: 0.52]

Lu Daosheng only took the two medals and played with them for a moment, and his attribute points increased by a full point, which slowed down the ice flow!

It's Mom's medal... Dad's is the same as mine, with extremely weak ice flow, just ordinary.

[Attribute Points: 1.12]

"No, you can't!" Father Chen took the medal back from the boy's hand and patted his head.

"Each medal contains a personal record, so they cannot be mixed and matched."

"oh!"

The boy, looking bewildered, returned the medal to his parents and got his own medal back—his goal had been achieved.

Although this medal is not a sealed item and I haven't been able to gain any new abilities from it, the ice currents within it are far more ferocious than those of myself and my father.

It must be a very high-level alchemical artifact... This confirms that this priest Chen is indeed after my mother.

"This child, always fooling around." Zhao Baiqin chuckled and tapped her son's head, seeing him speak with a simple, honest voice:

"By the way, Uncle Priest, I also passed the spiritual test and will be going to White Elephant Academy to study in a few days. If I have any questions, may I ask you, Uncle Priest?"

"sure."

Father Chen spoke kindly.

"You little rascal, you really don't hold back." Zhao Baiqin pinched Lu Daosheng's ear, urging him to wash up and go to bed.

After nodding politely to Father Chen, the couple returned to their room, each with their own thoughts.

Father Chen, still smiling, entered Lu Yu's room, gently stroking the newly changed sheets, his smile gradually fading.

.........

early morning.

Lu Daosheng lay on the bed, seemingly fast asleep.

The spirit body has quietly entered the spirit world.

He has now mastered the technique of opening portals to the spirit world, and can do so after confirming that he is not being detected by spiritual power.

The spirit body enters the spirit world quietly, without causing the slightest ripple.

There was no movement at all.

Lu Daosheng frowned as he summoned chaotic, frenzied colors to conceal his form.

"The Church of the Light of the Universe is going to deal with the Sun Bishop who will arrive at some unknown time. The Church of the Sun has its eye on Mom... Dad probably hasn't revealed anything yet."

He walked through the spirit world according to his previous memories, found the chaotic vortex he had set up in advance, and took out Gagarin's spirit world compass from it.

A thought flickered in my mind.

Longbottom

[Granted: Crimson King's Gaze (4%)]

"Only a one percent increase in a day? At that rate, it will take more than three months for the Crimson King to fully open his eyes and cast his gaze..."

Lu Daosheng raised an eyebrow. The old priest's name was Longbottom?

So he's not from Dongxing?

The Eastern Star Kingdom is located on the Eastern Continent, while people with such names come from countries on the Western Continent... but that's not unusual.

The people of the two continents have been exchanging goods and resources for countless years; for example, Gagarin was a person from the Western Continent.

Well, the difference is that Gagarin was born with a Western face, while the old priest's face was clearly that of an Easterner.

"We need to get rid of that Priest Chen as soon as possible... I'm so worried about this family."

Lu Daosheng sighed, a thought suddenly forming in his mind.

A full attribute point was invested entirely into [Spirit].

With a Spirit Value exceeding 4 points, the fourth Divine Grace slot is unlocked—and this time…

This time, Lu Daosheng plans to personally go out and find a suitable "beneficiary".

"There are quite a few spirit travelers in the spirit world..."

"Perhaps I don't have to be confined to the spirit world?"

Lu Daosheng muttered to himself, his eyes shining.

Since my spiritual body can act independently of my physical body, it can naturally travel to other places in reality through the spirit world.

This makes it very feasible...
