Covering the Sky: Rise Starting with Card Draws

In the end, Chen Hao could only add more water to the noodles and more noodles to the water, which was a real hardship for the young people in the Vatican. They were sometimes as lustful as demons and sometimes as holy as Buddhas, constantly tossing and turning between two extreme states: the churning of desire and the state of enlightenment. And they were also very unlucky.

However, Chen Hao will not apologize, nor will he temporarily abandon the use of the divine stone.

He would instead use this opportunity to hone his self-control until he could use his power in an unstable amplification state with complete mastery.

After all, in Chen Hao's eyes, since they had taken the initiative to attack him, they were enemies who could be attacked without restraint. It was already merciful of him to use them to hone his control skills instead of killing them to plant trees.

While Chen Hao was repeatedly manipulating the minds of the outstanding young people in the Vatican, the Pope, who was alarmed by the stirring of faith deep within the Vatican, finally arrived belatedly.

Looking at this group of seemingly exhausted and even drooling children, the Pope's heart sank.

These were the Vatican's hopes and future, the seeds of a new generation, but now they were all gone, the Pope thought with immense heartache.

Saintess Audrey seemed to be in better condition, but her originally fair skin was now flushed red. Her faith had vanished, and she exuded an aura of arrogance. Moreover, her eyes looked very strange. This saintess was probably ruined and no longer needed.

"Oh, after beating the younger ones, the older ones are here."

After finally regaining his balance, Chen Hao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Pope who had rushed over, a slight smile on his lips, completely disregarding the other party.

While the young Vatican heroes had endured repeated torment, it was not without its benefits. At least for now, their minds were clear, their spirits were pure, and their saintly qualities remained unchanged.

It can be considered a pseudo-innocent state of mind, where one has washed away all worldly impurities and attained unparalleled purity of mind. If one can restore normal spiritual consciousness, one's cultivation should progress by leaps and bounds in a day.

Moreover, their repeated cycles of falling into hell and rising to heaven unintentionally align with the ultimate truth of the Vatican tradition.

During his battle with Ye Fan, the Pope of the Vatican used the Vatican's supreme martial art, "Heaven and Hell".

Unfortunately, they had no choice between heaven and hell; all they could do was be manipulated by Chen Hao. The only one who could gain special insights from this unique experience was Saint Odeon of the Vatican.

Her face possessed both a holy, pure white radiance and a blush of desire, making her appear like an alluring devil emerging from hell and a pure angel fallen from heaven, the combination exuding a pure and sensual aura.

Through repeated trials, she did not gradually become demented like her other companions. Instead, Tang, with her drooling, comprehension, and spiritual perception surpassing her peers, grasped at the last "lifeline"—the desire to possess Chen Hao.

  

With this desire as his obsession, and with this obsession as a powerful anchor to solidify his spirit, combined with the profound essence of the Vatican's doctrines of Heaven and Hell, amidst the repeated trials and tribulations of Chen Hao's Great Way of Human Desire, his will and spiritual consciousness remained steadfast, and he was fortunate enough not to be completely overthrown and reduced to a drooling idiot.

She even made great progress in her spiritual practice, but the foundation of her faith in the Vatican had crumbled. Rather than believing in God, she preferred to follow her own convictions. She could no longer be considered a devout believer, let alone qualified to serve as a saint in the Vatican.

"God Child from the Central Plains, please be patient. We will return your ancestral artifacts intact. Please do not start wars recklessly, causing turmoil in the Western Lands and leading to widespread suffering."

Furthermore, these young people are just full of enthusiasm; they're a bit naive and impulsive, and they don't know why you've come. Please let them off the hook.

The Pope was extremely humiliated and angry, but he chose to endure it and forced a smile.

"War and destruction? A surge of passion? Ha, what does that have to do with our boss! Old man, now you're scared and want to reconcile? Too late! Are you kidding me? Where were you all this time? Just wait to die!"

"That's what Chen Hao's dragon horse said arrogantly."

"Isn't there even the slightest room for maneuver?"

The old pope stared intently at Chen Hao, the main character, paying no attention to Longma.

"O Lord of Desire, I am willing to offer my body and serve you for life. I beg you to forgive my homeland and not to wage a large-scale holy war that would affect those poor lambs."

Saint Audrey of the Vatican actually knelt down and worshipped Chen Hao in front of the Pope.

At this moment, she revered the desires and obsessions in her heart, and Chen Hao was the master and embodiment of those desires, as well as the target of her obsessions.

"Interesting. You're a rare talent. I underestimated you before."

Chen Hao looked at Audrey with considerable surprise.

This Vatican saint was clearly experiencing intense lust at this moment, yet she remained steadfast in her convictions, her mind clear and her spirit pure, thus harnessing the power of her desires to her advantage.

The ordeal just now did not diminish the other party's spiritual consciousness; on the contrary, it tempered her primordial spirit and brought her many benefits. Perhaps this woman could become a saintess of the Path of Human Desire and help him cultivate.

The only concern is that her obsession is so deep that she may become a female madwoman in the future. However, no matter how crazy she is, she can't cause any trouble without sufficient strength to support her.

Upon witnessing this, the Pope flew into a rage, his face turning ashen, and he could no longer contain himself.

For a saint from the Vatican to offer herself up, groveling before an outsider, especially in front of the Pope himself—what an humiliation!

He could even sense that the Holy Maiden was devoutly worshipping and offering sacrifices to Chen Hao, and had already developed a pure power of faith. This behavior, similar to that of a minotaur in front of him, made the proud Pope completely lose his composure. It was even more painful than being killed directly, because it was the ultimate insult to him as Pope.

I can't take it anymore, I'm going to explode!

Just as the Pope was about to explode at Chen Hao, the Divine Knight who had been secretly protecting the Vatican could no longer hold back and jumped out first.

"What are you doing here!?"

The Pope frowned, barely suppressing his anger as he asked.

Upon sensing the activation of the power of faith, the Pope realized something was amiss and prepared for the worst, ordering the guardian knight to leave. As long as the knight lived, the Vatican's tradition would not perish; he was the living legacy.

The Pope had considered having the Divine Knights take some young seeds of hope with them, but these seeds had willingly delivered themselves into the mouth of the great demon king from Middle-earth, and there was no time to rescue them, so he had to give up.

Moreover, instead of carrying these burdens, it would be better to let the Divine Knight go into battle lightly, which would increase the chances of escape and allow a peak Dao-slaying king to rebuild the lineage in the future.

"Let's fight!"

The Divine Knight did not answer the Pope, but instead raised a dragon spear in one hand and challenged Chen Hao to a duel.

His eyes blazed with fury, and his entire body radiated a powerful aura, as if he were invincible simply by standing there. This was the invincible belief he had accumulated step by step over countless years of secretly protecting the Vatican and constantly defeating and killing enemies.
