No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Mu Zhixi's gaze gradually hardened.

It's just a loan, right? Just consider it an early investment. Anyway, with over a thousand high-quality investors around, getting our money back is only a matter of time.

"Sir, I'm applying for a loan, the amount... 850,000." Mu Zhixi made her decision.

[Ding, current total Faith Points: 1,206,000.]

Very well, Gui has already saddled himself with a huge debt at such a young age.

Mu Zhixi opened the character shop and immediately focused her attention on the most expensive section of the Holy Domain faction.

[A formal member of the Holy Land Silver Crown Tribunal.]

[Grade: SS+]

[Price: 1.2 million Faith Points]

That's it! Click, buy—all in one smooth motion.

Seeing her faith points instantly reduced to zero and leaving her with a huge debt to the system, Mu Zhixi felt no heartache at all.

All she wanted to do now was see what kind of interesting expressions the players would make when these three powerful figures clashed.

By the way, we should also look for some promising talents and release the slots for the hidden profession of "Chosen One".

After performing a solo act for so long, it's time to develop a few core fans who will act alongside her.

Just as Mu Zhixi confirmed the purchase and was about to start editing the detailed settings of her new avatar, a series of new system prompts popped up again without warning.

[Detection indicates your compatibility with the character 'Ran' has exceeded 95%...]

[Unlocking new ability... Unlock successful!]

Congratulations! You have gained the passive ability – Sanctuary Blessing.

Mu Zhixi stopped what she was doing and turned her attention to the introduction of the new ability.

[Ability Name: Sanctuary Blessing]

[Ability Type: Passive/Active - Large Area Aura]

[Ability Description: As a deity walking among mortals, your very existence is a gift. Your aura, appearance, and every action will subtly influence the surrounding environment and all living beings.]

Any entity that has come into direct or indirect contact with you (including but not limited to your blood, hair, or items you have touched) will receive your "blessing."

[Blessing Effect: Grants a random buff to friendly/neutral units; inflicts continuous holy damage on enemy/evil units. The strength of the effect is related to your affinity level and the target's devotion.]

[Note: As the supreme being, even a single glance from you is an honor that mortal beings should remember for a lifetime. Your glance is an immeasurable grace.]

This introduction...

Mu Zhixi felt a little embarrassed looking at the last note.

When Tong starts showering people with compliments, it's even more exaggerated than the lines she made up herself.

However, this passive ability is quite useful.

This means that she will no longer need to deliberately release skills like "Sanctuary Glimmer". As long as she is present under the Goddess's disguise, she will automatically form a mobile buff/debuff aura.

This undoubtedly helped her maintain her enigmatic image.

After studying the new skill, Mu Zhixi's thoughts returned to the previous question.

How exactly is "His gaze" triggered?

It couldn't have been some player who was bored and cursed her in their mind, could it?

Meanwhile, elsewhere at the Seven Sins Academy.

Yuexi was standing in a secluded corner, toying with an old-fashioned piece of parchment.

One corner of the parchment is torn, but most of it remains intact.

Not far in front of her, a pool of foul-smelling black rotten flesh was wriggling slightly. Several strangely shaped lumps bulged and burst on the surface of the rotten flesh, oozing turbid liquid.

Several players nearby watched this scene from a distance, their faces filled with fear and lingering dread.

Just now, that infamous Demon Pig Clan player from the Myriad Races server was standing right here, spouting rude remarks and even trying to lay a hand on Yuexi.

But the moment he reached out and touched the parchment Yuexi handed him, he felt as if he had been doused with concentrated sulfuric acid, letting out a piercing scream, and his body began to rot and melt at a visible speed.

The entire process takes no more than three seconds.

An S-rank powerhouse was silently reduced to a pile of rotten flesh.

"He brought this upon himself. He offended the gods, and death is the lightest punishment he can receive."

Ling Xi, standing beside Yue Xi, looked at the still writhing mass of rotten flesh and whispered something.

She had clearly seen that after tearing a corner of the paper, the Demon Pig player had a smug smile on his face, as if he thought he had destroyed some important item.

As it turned out, retribution came so quickly.

"Sister, that piece of paper..." Ling Xi looked at the parchment in Yue Xi's hand with some curiosity.

"The Book of Truth." Yuexi spoke calmly, her voice devoid of emotion. "It is the most precious treasure of my clan. As long as it is not corrupted by the rules, the words written on it will be absolutely true."

She unfolded the parchment and saw several lines written in an elegant and graceful handwriting.

"The goddess is pure and kind, absolutely merciful, compassionate towards all people, and the best being in this sick world."

"He will eliminate all those who disrespect her, but the goddess is full of love and will forgive the kind-hearted. However, those who are sinful and wicked will also be eliminated."

Yuexi is skilled through practice. She wrote these two sentences for two reasons. The first paragraph is an objective description of the goddess Ran, which is a fact, so the "Book of Truth" did not react.

The second paragraph, however, is like an additional curse, or rather, a trigger switch.

When the evil-minded Demon Pig player touches the paper with an act of "disrespect" (tearing it up), he simultaneously fulfills both the conditions of "disrespecting her" and "harboring evil intentions".

Thus, the verdict of "annihilation" took effect immediately.

Yuexi did all this for a very simple purpose.

First, she did not doubt Miss Number One's kindness; on the contrary, she wanted to use Miss Number One's absolute kindness to verify whether there was a problem with the Book of Truth.

After all, in Yuexi's view, the goddess is pure and good, which is an established fact and indisputable. She can use this known absolute fact to verify whether the Book of Truth and the rules of the copy have been interfered with or contaminated.

Secondly, she needs a sufficiently significant "sacrifice" to demonstrate to all players, especially the newcomers who are still confused, the consequences of disobeying the gods.

Of course, the "deity" she referred to was not the so-called "master," but rather Miss Number One.

She was inspired by the tragic scene of a player named "Mad Lion" breaking a teacup in the Ancient Castle instance.

In retrospect, the results have been remarkable.

Looking at the gazes from the players around her, a mixture of awe and fear, Yuexi remained completely unmoved.

This is exactly the effect she wanted.

She wanted everyone to know that God is sacred and inviolable, and that any disrespectful words or actions towards her would bring destruction.

And she, Yuexi, will be the goddess's first follower among the players.

She closed the pages of the Book of Truth, her gaze sweeping over the silent players around her. A slight smile played on her red lips as she uttered a calm yet chilling statement: "He will annihilate all who disrespect her."

"Praise be to you, my great goddess."
