My talent panel can be increased

Mo Shengqi: Isn't this too risky?

Lonely City: If we don't gamble, at least half of our group will die. We don't have enough supplies, we're not strong enough, and there's a high probability that we'll be wiped out.

Lonely City: You're lucky to have even one chance to gamble, yet you want to play it safe? Do you think exploring the spirit world is child's play?

Roger: You'd better shut up and go find a priest to cleanse yourself. It's dangerous to have such low sanity. Don't just think about saving resources for the team.

Mo Shengqi: ...

Roger: Bring out the best stuff. Even if we don't succeed, at least we should see the hope that we can get out of here alive together.

Ling Si: I think we shouldn't have used that [Team Building Card] in the first place.

Roger took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the negative emotions in his heart, and took a step forward, bowing respectfully.

During the time spent in the silent corridor, he dared not make a sound like the Lord of Light and Shadow, so expressing respect through body language was the best way.

Then, he carefully took out several items from his storage space: a book, several crystals containing pure energy, and the hard hide material of some powerful monster.

Roger wasn't particularly strong; he was just an 8th-level Lord-level psionicist. But these were the best things he could offer.

The Lord of Light and Shadow's gaze lingered on a few items for a moment. The starry sky beneath the gray robe remained completely unchanged. He made no move, simply standing there silently watching.

Immediately afterward, the girl [Apostle of Light and Shadow] standing behind him frowned. Although the Lord did not speak, her devout faith sensed his boredom.

Then, the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] stepped forward, her body radiating holy and powerful light, exuding an undeniable majesty.

【Apostle of Light and Shadow (Level 2 Overlord)】

Her information was made public, instantly shocking everyone in the Morning Star Group present. It was hard to imagine that the girl following behind the Lord of Light and Shadow was also a powerful overlord.

It should be understood that a hegemon has no weaklings and must possess immense strength.

The [Apostle of Light and Shadow] spoke directly, making a sound within the silent corridor, saying:

"If it is merely such trivial matter, then let it not offend my lord's eyes."

The next moment, the holy light became even more threatening, and the hostility of the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] made the members of the Morning Star Clan instantly break out in a cold sweat.

The Lord of Light and Shadow might disdain to attack them, but this [Apostle of Light and Shadow] was clearly not so easy to talk to, and his attitude towards them was much sharper.

Roger's face turned deathly pale, and he stood frozen in place. This was the best he could offer. He was only an 8th-level lord; anything better was simply beyond his reach.

"Ah~"

A sigh rang out

The previously restless and oppressive holy light softened again. The Lord of Light and Shadow quietly raised his hand covered by the gray veil and used his divine power to cast a telekinetic spell, taking the book from Roger's hand.

The Apostle of Light and Shadow also retreated in time and made no further reaction.

【Demon's Codex (Fragment)】

Description: This is a book that introduces the unique spells of the demon race. It has some value, but unfortunately, part of the book has been damaged, which greatly reduces its original value.

Other things are useless to him, but this book should be useful. I can let Tang Ruobing learn it first, and then she can teach me after she has learned it. It can still improve my strength to some extent.

It's somewhat useful, isn't it?

It's just not very effective.

After a brief glance, the Lord of Light and Shadow put away the Demon Codex, and the Divine Power released a healing spell, instantly enveloping Roger with holy and glorious power.

The power of the curse was directly erased by the [Divine Power]. The [Divine Power] itself has a special nature; it does not need to be altered to exert its purifying effect because the [Divine Power] is the nemesis of the [Curse] power. This is a matter of the nature of the power.

The power of Sequence - Holy Light is a powerful force that transcends common sense. It is a power that should not be wielded by psionicists, and its existence is a disruption of the balance.

So comfortable.

Roger felt the changes in his body, and a wildly joyful smile gradually appeared on his face. He had made a fortune in this deal, having obtained such a thorough and powerful treatment from just a tattered book.

Ye Mingqiu also felt he had made a great deal. He casually cast a healing spell and received a demonic tome. Although it was incomplete, it was still valuable.

This deal is not bad

Following suit, other members of the Morning Star Clan presented various "precious items" as if offering treasures, but these so-called precious items were nothing more than worthless trash to the Lord of Light and Shadow.

However, he still managed to pick out some useful trash and then cast a healing spell on each person using [Divine Power], which is called [Holy Healing].

The effect of [Holy Healing] is extremely powerful, many times stronger than the purification cast by elite-level support. It can not only restore their status, but also dispel the curse effect, allowing them to return to their peak condition. It can be said to be very useful.

Soon, the members of the Morning Star Clan returned to normal, and their sanity was restored. The core effects that reduced sanity were the [Silent Curse] and [Sanity Pollution]. Both of these effects are essentially curses, which are countered by [Divine Power], so they can be removed.

This caused the members of the Morning Star Clan to bow down to the Lord of Light and Shadow, showing their respect as believers.

At this very moment, many people are already planning to try to establish a connection with the Lord of Light and Shadow through faith after leaving this world.

The vast majority of psionicists are pragmatists, and the compassionate nature of the Lord of Light and Shadow is exactly what these pragmatists like. They are not afraid that they will not receive power after offering their faith, at least they will have a safety net.

As long as there's a guaranteed minimum, that's fine!

More importantly, the fundamental reason why the vast majority of psionicists do not believe in deities is not that they do not want to believe or obtain power, but that they simply do not have the opportunity to come into contact with deities.

Faith often requires a medium; without a medium, there is no faith, no connection with the divine. When encountering a projection of the divine, memory can serve as a medium, allowing them to pray for power from the divine through memory and faith.

Of course, not everyone is willing to believe in gods to gain power.

Because faith has both benefits and drawbacks. Believing in a deity is equivalent to binding oneself to the deity. If the deity has problems, the believer will also lose power, or even power greater than what one would have gained.

Moreover, worshipping a deity is tantamount to submitting to the deity and offering up one's weaknesses. This is why many powerful psychics are unwilling to gain power through faith.

But ordinary psychics...

Most people don't believe in God because they haven't had the opportunity.

No, you're not qualified.

For faith to be responded to, the deity must be willing to respond. If the deity is indifferent, no matter how much faith one has, it will be useless. However, if one's faith is persistent, the deity may one day casually bestow some power upon them.

Therefore, these psionicists actually know that their strength is insufficient and their faith is not pure enough, and they will most likely fail. But even if they fail, they should be able to get a minimum guarantee by trying for a while longer.

After all, the deity [Lord of Light and Shadow] is clearly a kind person who cherishes life, does not kill the innocent, and protects innocent living beings. He must be a very kind god.

Trust him, you won't go wrong!

Roger watched his teammates recover, and a relieved smile gradually appeared on his face. If he could, he would like to stay by the side of the Lord of Light and Shadow forever.

The place where the Lord of Light and Shadow resides is an absolute sanctuary, possessing absolute order. Neither the eeriness nor the rules of the Silent Corridor can violate His domain. Therefore, His place is absolutely safe; as long as one stays by His side, safely passing 24 hours is effortless.

Oh, right! I have something else I can show to the Lord of Light and Shadow.

Thinking of this, Roger took out a blood-red stone from his storage space and offered it to the Lord of Light and Shadow with both hands.

He obtained this blood crystal in an extremely dangerous world where many gods existed. These gods treated humans as livestock, enslaving them and forcing them to mine blood crystals to offer to the gods.

This Blood Crystal Stone seems very powerful, but Roger has no idea how to use it. He can neither craft equipment nor sell it, because other psionicists also don't know how to use it.

It doesn't work!

However, the Lord of Light and Shadow is also a deity, so He should be able to use it, right? This thing might be useful to Him as well. I didn't even think of this before because my reduced rationality affected my thinking ability. After my rationality was restored, I was able to think of this.

This influence of reason is too severe! It's clearly very serious, but I just can't feel it!

terrible!

"Ok?"

The Lord of Light and Shadow casually glanced at the things Roger handed him. He was used to these people bringing him trash, so he didn't pay attention at first, but he soon realized the problem.

This thing looks familiar...

Blood Crystal?

Blood Crystal

Type: Mineral

Description: The ore is as red as blood, and seems to exude a vibrant life force.

This thing.

Isn't this the Blood Crystal Stone that strengthens the Blood Spear?

Initially, the only way the spirit realm showed that could be used to strengthen the Blood Spear was by using Blood Crystals, but Ye Mingqiu couldn't obtain any. Therefore, he could only continuously increase the Blood Spear's strength by killing enemies to absorb their blood and through blood sacrifices.

There's really no other way.

Fortunately, the Blood Spear possesses a spirit, allowing it to advance in this way; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been able to improve its quality by now.

Although the quality of the Blood Spear has improved and it can continue to improve without absorbing Blood Crystals, Blood Crystals are the basic material that makes up the Blood Spear, so the Blood Spear can still be significantly strengthened by using Blood Crystals.

Great stuff! A real gem!

Anything that can enhance the Blood Spear is essential!

The Lord of Light and Shadow's face, like a galaxy, was filled with countless stars that shone brightly, as if expressing satisfaction and appreciation. He raised his hand and took the Dark Omen Mithril Shield (Dark Gold Grade) directly from the team's display room and gave it to Roger.

This is a Dark Gold-tier item!!!

Roger's face instantly lit up with indescribable ecstasy. He had only guessed that the Blood Crystal Stone might be useful to the Lord of Light and Shadow, and that he might obtain something useful from it. But he never expected that he would actually get a Dark Gold-grade shield! That's Dark Gold-grade!!

Roger received the Dark Mithril Shield with trembling hands, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He even felt like he was dreaming, a dream so beautiful that he couldn't wake up again.

After accepting the shield, Roger bowed deeply to the Lord of Light and Shadow with utmost solemnity to express his respect.

Dark Gold Grade Equipment!

That's a Dark Gold-grade equipment!

Seeing this, the other team members' eyes also lit up with hope, and they all wanted to offer something more in an attempt to obtain more blessings from this great being.

But what they brought out was mostly garbage, which the Lord of Light and Shadow couldn't even be bothered to glance at.

Seeing this, the understanding [Apostle of Light and Shadow] stepped forward again, releasing his power and a hint of displeasure and anger, and said, "Our Lord has already bestowed grace upon us, do not covet, step back!"

Bathed in holy light, it exudes majesty and awe.

The members of the Morning Star Clan felt a chill run down their spines and instantly snapped to their senses. They quickly and respectfully made way for each other, bowing deeply and daring not to obstruct the way in the slightest. However, a hint of regret lingered in their eyes.

They only regretted not having an item like the Blood Crystal Stone like their leader. It was useless most of the time, but could be exchanged for Dark Gold-grade equipment from the Lord of Light and Shadow at crucial moments. That was Dark Gold-grade!

The psionicists present had already memorized the appearance of the Blood Crystal Stone and the attitude of the Lord of Light and Shadow.

Next, they will try every means possible to find traces of the Blood Crystal.

Clad in a gray veil, with starlight flowing over him, the Lord of Light and Shadow strode away, taking the Apostles of Light and Shadow with him. The surrounding environment changed as he moved.

The Lord of Light and Shadow walked deeper into the corridor, using holy light to annihilate the cursed lives along the way, and countless ashes drifted from the places He passed.

Then it froze in mid-air, as if time had been frozen by some special force.

As the survivors of the ordeal looked around at the environment that was gradually becoming distorted and filled with curses, a sense of fear arose in their hearts.

But

They have now fully recovered, and their bodies, having been baptized by the [Divine Power], can resist the power of the curse to some extent until the aftereffects of the [Divine Power] completely dissipate.

The Lord of Light and Shadow has given them hope of survival, but victory is something they must seize themselves. What follows is their own battle.

Roger, an 8th-level lord, immediately equipped the Dark Omen Mithril Shield given to him by the Lord of Light and Shadow. His face was full of a confident smile. With the Dark Gold-level equipment, his strength had been greatly enhanced.

Now he felt capable of protecting everyone in the Morning Star Clan! Every single one of them!

In the distance of the tunnel, the Lord of Light and Shadow continued forward with his apostles. One of the apostles, curious, asked, "My lord, that thing doesn't seem worth such a price. Why did you do it?"

"I need more motivation."

The Lord of Light and Shadow said.

Compared to legendary equipment, bloodstones are much more precious to him. He can at least get legendary equipment by chance, but bloodstones are truly impossible to buy.

How could Ye Mingqiu ignore such a material that could enhance the strength of the Blood Spear? Every time he returned, he would search for traces of Blood Crystal Stones in various merchant guilds, but he always failed.

Now, he finally saw the Blood Crystal Stone he had been pursuing for so long. The joy he felt was indescribable. In order to make these people pay more attention, it was worth it for him to give up Dark Gold-level equipment.

The Blood Spear is Ye Mingqiu's most important weapon and possession. Dark gold-grade equipment is nothing compared to the Blood Spear!

Then, Ye Mingqiu placed the Blood Crystal Stone and the Blood Spear together. The Blood Spear absorbed the Blood Crystal Stone and incorporated it into its own body, making it a part of its main body.

[Hint: Blood Spear has absorbed Blood Crystal and entered a metamorphosis state]

very good!

Transform, Blood Spear!

Become stronger! Become even more powerful!
