I logged into the God panel.

"interesting......"

The "External Forces" column appears again.

The chaotic spirit, beyond its own control, remained within the body because it had squeezed into it.

What is this infernal flame?

Lu Daosheng recalled the flames that clung to his feet when he stepped on and dispersed a cloud of scorched mist... He could vaguely sense that the flames had entered the old man's body along with him.

And it seems that I can manipulate them.

Lu Daosheng snapped his fingers again, and three wisps of scarlet flame appeared in the air, suddenly burrowing into the bodies of the three crawling burly men!

Under the horrified gaze of the female security guard, the three men struggled, rolled, and howled.

The skin twitches, the skull grows, piercing the scalp to form horn-like shapes, and flames burst forth from the pores!

And then... he died.

They seemed unable to withstand this power and burned to ashes.

Three wisps of infernal flame, carrying invisible fragments, burrowed back into the old man's body.

【Spirit +0.03】

【Spirit: 0.03 (4.05)】

Lu Daosheng was stunned for a moment, realizing that the value in parentheses was his own mental value, while the value before the parentheses belonged to the temporary host's mental value...

He had a sudden thought and was trying something.

A warm current flowed into my soul.

【Spirit: 0 (4.08)】

"This is interesting..." The female security guard smiled and muttered to herself as she saw the shirtless old man. Her legs went weak, her crotch became wet, and a faint smell of urine wafted out.

"Purgatory... No wonder they say embracing the devil is a shortcut to becoming stronger..."

The message had barely been sent when Shenzhi Xiaomi responded immediately.

[God's Xiaomi: Really??]

[Shepherd: Well, here's some additional information: the dried-up corpse on Sealed Item 101 was Nostaan, who once served the Grim Reaper and guarded the gates of the Underworld. He died after being burned in the flames of purgatory for a thousand years, thus becoming a Sealed Item.]

[Shepherd: Also, what else do I want?]

[God's Xiaomi: Holy crap, you even know secrets like this? Let me verify. If it's true, I'll give you what you want. What exactly do you want?]

[Shepherd: A complete secret weapon with accompanying extraordinary skills, and a complete meditation method with accompanying spells. What else can I exchange for alchemical items?]

Lu Daosheng's thinking was very clear. He was currently a complete blank slate; both the Twilight Holy Fist Manual and the Dawn Meditation Method were incomplete.

Complete secret martial arts and meditation methods, especially extraordinary skills and spells, are what I urgently need right now.

[God's Xiaomi: Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow]

"call....."

Lu Daosheng exhaled a breath of stale air. Seeing that the Guardian of the Heart had not replied, he didn't mind. At this hour, it was normal to be asleep.

He posted his first message on the forum.

[A bishop is about to arrive at the Sun Church in Donghai City. Some churches are planning an attack on him. Those interested can contact me.]

Lu Daosheng's initial plan was to manipulate the dried corpse into speaking, causing the Shadow Church to attack the Sun Church and the Cosmic Light Church...

In the end, I decided against it.

There was no way around it; the leader of the Shadow Church in Donghai City was my dad.

According to current information, there is no fourth tier in Donghai City—except for Dad and Mom, the leaders of the four major churches seem to be in the third tier.

Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future.

After waiting a while and seeing that no one contacted him or replied to his post, Lu Daosheng was not in a hurry and casually closed the forum.

He looked with interest at the woman kneeling to the side.

Are you afraid of me?

The sound coming from the throat, which was forcibly constricted by mental force, was somewhat hoarse.

The woman trembled:

"I revere you as I would a great deity..."

Lu Daosheng smiled silently. The summer night was not hot, but rather a little chilly, yet he felt no cold at all despite being shirtless... After all, it wasn't his own body, so his sense of touch wasn't as acute.

He stretched out his finger, and a wisp of infernal fire appeared at his fingertip.

Why am I able to control the fires of purgatory?

Lu Daosheng was puzzled; he could sense that the infernal fire also felt a sense of belonging towards him.

It's like the chaotic spirituality of the spirit world, and also like the time when I first entered the abyss.

But strangely enough,

Upon arriving in reality, I lost control of my chaotic spirituality, as if the real world had imposed some kind of restriction on me.

But the infernal flames remained completely unaffected...

"The spirit realm is a place that even the gods cannot touch... Could this be related?"

"Could it be that the gods have placed shackles on the real world?"

Lu Daosheng's mind raced, and his gaze fell on the female security guard again, as he began to have some ideas.

"Raise your head." A hoarse voice rang out, and the woman suddenly looked up, filled with fear and trepidation. She saw the old man, whose body had been possessed by a mysterious being, stand up and suddenly reach out his hand.

She shuddered in fright.

But the old man simply picked up an earthworm from the mud.

"A blessing," the old man said in a low voice.

[Granted: Constitution x0.1]

Under the horrified gaze of the female security guard, the earthworm suddenly swelled up, growing from the size of a little finger to the length of an arm, and becoming several times thicker!

then.

The giant earthworm suddenly trembled and was torn to pieces by some invisible force.

Lu Daosheng silently sensed it.

Successful.

He was indeed able to bestow the host's physique upon others, and when the recipient died, the bestowed items would return directly, leaving the spot vacant.

It's just a pity...

The 0.1% of the constitution returns to the host body and cannot be transferred to one's true body.

But its operability has also greatly increased!

He looked again at the trembling woman:

"come over."

The woman scrambled forward, prostrated herself before the old man, and kissed his shoes, which were covered in mud and blood.

Lu Daosheng looked at her calmly, reached out and placed his hand on her head.

"A gift."

[Granted: A wisp of Infernal Flame]

"Waaaaah!!"

The woman in the security guard uniform screamed and rolled on the ground, just like the three burly men, her skin writhing and flickering with firelight.

Her scalp was pierced by a bone drill, and from the blood, two small horns grew from the protruding part of her skull.

But this time, the woman did not burn to ashes like the three burly men. She gasped for breath for a moment, raised her head, and spoke in a trembling voice:

"host....."

Lu Daosheng grabbed the woman's chin and carefully examined her eyes—the pupils had turned a red and yellow color and changed from round to horizontal.

"Again."

He silently increased the blessed infernal flames from one wisp to two.

This time, the woman didn't sob, but instead let out a low hiss. The horns on the top of her head grew slightly, and wrinkles began to appear on the surface of her skin.

Increase to three strands.

The horns continued to grow, and the skin wrinkled even more.

Then four strands, five strands!

When Lu Daosheng increased the bestowed purgatory flames to ten strands, the bony horns on the woman's head were already over thirty centimeters long.

The wrinkles on his skin turned into scales, and his body swelled to over two meters tall, his clothes torn to shreds, leaving him naked.

You can even see that the bulging shoulder blades on the back are slightly split, as if something is about to grow out, but it hasn't fully developed yet.

"Master...Master..." the woman hissed, breathing heavily, the air thick with the smell of sulfur.

Lu Daosheng's eyes shone brightly. Had he... created a demon from hell?

No, it's probably far from being a demon of purgatory, a half-demon?

And unlike previous gifts,

A woman's complete obedience, surrender, and loyalty to herself is like a lower-ranking demon in purgatory submitting to a higher-ranking demon who bestowed power upon her.

And myself.....

A single thought can kill a woman.

To be precise, as soon as he withdrew the flames of purgatory and the blessing, the woman would immediately burn to ashes like those three strong men.

This is also what makes it different from the attributes and abilities of a blessing.

"Run!" Lu Daosheng ordered.

A woman runs through a cemetery.

Then came the strength test and the mental test.

"Absolutely amazing..."

Lu Daosheng exclaimed in admiration. It seemed that the opponent's spirit had not been amplified, but his strength and speed had been greatly improved, increasing by more than two or three times from a level similar to that of an ordinary human!

Although he's not quite as good as Gagarin, who attacked him, he's not too far off!

Tsk, it's probably because this woman is on the academic path, focusing on the spiritual, and her physical fitness hasn't improved much...

"Restrain." Lu Daosheng gave the order again.

The woman obediently knelt on the ground, her horns slowly retracted, her scales disappeared, her dark red skin turned white, and her body returned to normal.

*Slap, slap, slap!*

Lu Daosheng clapped his hands and smiled as he spoke:

"Take good care of this body of mine, make sure it survives, and then..."

"I need you to do something."

A naked woman crawling:

"I will follow your instructions."

Lu Daosheng chuckled, calmly gave his instructions, then opened the portal to the spirit world, withdrawing his spiritual body and returning to his physical form through the spirit world.

"I need to learn about Purgatory..."
