Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

On his deathbed, he lamented that he was born at the wrong time and his great cause remained unfulfilled.

The reason is that in that era, the population was sparse, and even if he spent decades, he could only gain a few thousand believers, which was far from enough to gather the power of faith.

At the end of the ancient text, this sage went on to describe the method of casting the body of faith, and did not shy away from writing about some potential risks.

The more Jiang Mo looked, the more resistant he became to the faith. The situation predicted by that senior coincided with the hidden dangers he had guessed.

The body of faith needs to be nurtured with consciousness as its core. The fatal flaw is that the consciousness, enveloped by countless wishes, will constantly change and break free from the control of the original body, forming a new life.

After the original owner dies naturally, the faith body will not be affected. As long as the incense is burned, it will exist, achieving an alternative form of immortality and becoming a so-called deity.

Deities are divided into two types: true deities and evil deities.

The former is a faith avatar created by the original owner to protect believers. Its strength is almost the same as the original owner's. Even if it accidentally perishes while slaying demons and monsters and its faith power dissipates, it will not affect the lives of the original owner and believers.

According to historical practice, extraordinary individuals who have cultivated to the level of terrestrial immortals never allow their 'true deity' to continue.

They cannot predict what the gods will do after death. Generally, in their later years, when they are still able to control the situation, they will refine and disintegrate the true gods, allowing the power of faith attached to them to dissipate on its own.

The evil deities are passive products of the deaths of the original and true deities.

The temples scattered throughout the land, with their enshrined statues of gods and Buddhas, have gradually developed their own consciousness after hundreds of years of incense offerings. They have begun to frantically devour all the faith they can absorb to strengthen themselves.

These kinds of deities are quite mysterious, some good and some bad. Their personalities and memories are determined and formed by the vast amount of information provided by believers.

"God is originally a man, God is man-made."

Unwittingly, Jiang Mo finished reading the last sentence of the ancient book and gained a general understanding of how to use the power of faith.

However, even though the power of faith continues to surge, he has no intention of forging a faith body, relying on faith to temper his physical body, or crafting weapons.

The inherent nature of faith and blasphemy, being mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, dictates that this external force is extremely unstable and relies entirely on millions of believers. If faith were to collapse one day, all accumulated cultivation would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Jiang Mo never thought that the power he suddenly gained would be stronger than the strength he had built up step by step.

Furthermore, if this power remains within him, the accumulated incense offerings and vows may subtly influence him at times, perhaps even hundreds of millions of believers.

Over an increasingly long period of time, he eventually completes his spiritual parasitism, fundamentally changing him from the inside out.

Jiang Mo doesn't need to be believed in, and he doesn't want to respond.

"Wow——!"

He acted decisively, disappearing from his spot and using a secret technique to leap a straight-line distance of 14,000 kilometers to North Corleone Island.

Due to the different time zone, it is still sunset here, with a gentle breeze and sparkling seawater.

"Boom!"

Jiang Mo grasped the ball of light with his bare hands, and his five fingers suddenly unleashed a terrifying force, destroying the millions of believers and the hundreds of thousands of blasphemous stains clinging to it, pulverizing them until not even a speck remained.

A white light shot straight into the sky, as dazzling as a nuclear explosion.

At the moment of destruction, the power of a million faiths erupted, shaking heaven and earth. Large areas of land along the island's nearshore coast shook and sank.

Subsequently, Jiang Mo activated the Ancient Dao True Fire, one of the Five Qi Divine Powers, and placed it on his brow and spiritual platform.

Faith from all corners of the world, constantly renewed there, is now blocked by golden flames, unable to penetrate even a trace.

When they returned to the sect, it was already past 3 a.m.

Hundreds of bonfires gathered at the foot of the mountain, and more and more tourists came from far and wide, having endured hardship to witness the immortals' journey.

Jiang Mo glanced at it, then waved his hand and landed. The Tianheng Gu set up a repulsive field nearby, which perfectly matched the outer edge of the protective array, inviting all the awakened individuals and strange people hiding in the mountains and forests out, and then ignored them.

Late at night, after the younger generation had all gone to rest, Jiang Mo sat in the courtyard in front of the palace, sipping cool tea and checking news from overseas on his tablet.

In the two months he was gone, the situation in the United States across the ocean underwent a dramatic change.

60% of the population within the territory has successfully transformed, and the number of Level 4 Awakened has soared to 150. Wars continue between continents, destroying the original order.

New human leaders from multiple continents, leading hundreds of thousands of awakened beings, launched a war against the old humans, annexing nearly one-third of their territory.

Their victories lasted until late May, when they suffered a precipitous defeat.

The Behemoth headquarters in New York mobilized 36 Level 4 Awakened, including 12 Primal Apostles, to carry out a purge of various rebel forces. In just a few days, as many as 67 Level 4 Awakened were slaughtered, and countless Level 3 Awakened were killed.

This is the end.

The Awakened Ones' fantasy of creating a new human nation that would cover the entire globe was shattered. The super-powered legion, belonging to the United States, also reclaimed the fallen continents one by one with the assistance of Behemoth's elite forces.

The demons that had previously taken root in the upper echelons of power have long been purged, losing the soil in which they parasitized, and power has returned to the hands of humanity.

In early June, the war ended, and all the rebels were subjected to the most severe suppression.

Meanwhile, the mastermind behind Behemoth, under some kind of coercion, had to make an unknown deal with the United States to launch mass-produced brain chips, similar to the superpower locks of ancient Eastern countries, which exerted control over awakened individuals, even more so.

Rumors circulating online suggest that the New York Superpowers Bureau has produced a Level 5 Awakened individual who turned the tide and ended the chaotic war.

Although that awakened one is currently in an unstable state, his abilities far surpass those of any level 4 awakened one; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a dimensional reduction attack.

Jiang Mo continued browsing. Most of the messages were of dubious veracity, so he only glanced at them briefly without delving too deeply.

Apart from the United States, other countries have different trump cards to deal with awakened rebels.

It's only a matter of time before the war is quelled and order is restored.

Those who awakened were too shallow in their foundations and had not yet advanced to level 5, so they could not shake the state apparatus that monopolized billions of resources.

.......

On June 5th, the Superpower Lock was officially launched.

The Security Council's senior officials are responsible for carrying out official duties in cities within their respective jurisdictions, and all Awakened individuals, regardless of rank, are required to wear them under supervision.

Under the search of the supernatural ability detectors, every corner of the city was searched, and no awakened individual could escape the surveillance.

Even in some remote and wild natural areas, drones carrying detectors fly over to monitor and ensure no oversights are found.

Of course, those who wanted to escape and had the ability to escape had already done so. They were generally level 3-4 awakened individuals, and it was not easy to detect them if they smuggled themselves out of the country.

In addition, the researchers from the Ninth Division, escorted by several vice presidents of the Security Council, traveled to every city within the country to modify and upgrade the Class B and Class C mechs.

They installed the most powerful, widest-range, and latest version of the supernatural ability detector on the mech.

Meanwhile, the powerful figures in the Security Council also set up new supernatural monitoring towers throughout the city to provide real-time feedback to the mechs stationed in the central area.

The ability lock can collect the wearer's biometric information and mark them. Awakened individuals who are not wearing the ability lock will be detected immediately and will have nowhere to hide.

Following the Security Council's advance notice, Level 4 and Level 3 Awakened Ones who were willing to accept supervision went ahead to the Security Council headquarters to receive the wearing of the ability locks. The line was enormous, estimated to be twenty to thirty thousand people.

On this day, a total of one million Superpower Locks were distributed, and there were still more than 26 million Awakened Ones waiting to wear them.

Building the monitoring tower, upgrading the mechs, and completing the wearing of the Awakened's ability locks are all time-consuming engineering projects. The first two are estimated to take half a year, while the latter will be completed by the end of the month.

Thanks to the overt suppression by Jiang Mo and the three presidents, no new Awakened Rebellion incidents have occurred in the country in the past half month.

Chapter 366 Eliminating the Last Threat of the Three Kings, A Deliberate Punch

On June 22, the domestic superpower lock wearing project was nearing completion. 80% of the awakened individuals had been monitored, especially in cities with populations of tens of millions, where no omissions were found. The remaining work was mainly carried out in an orderly manner in some remote inland areas.

In the evening, at the Security Council headquarters, a plenary session was held online.

Su Nianlin reported the list of Level 4 Awakened individuals that he had compiled over the past few days to every high-ranking official present.

He didn't give any extra opening remarks. He simply cleared his throat and gestured to his assistant to prepare documents for real-time sharing and projection for the councilors, president, and vice presidents.

Then, with his eyes fixed on the nearby camera, he began to get straight to the point:

"Ladies and gentlemen, after 17 days of unremitting efforts, there are currently 26 Level 4 Awakened and 48200 Level 3 Awakened in the country under supervision. This is a stage victory and is worth sharing with you."

Before the other senior executives could cheer and applaud him, he brought slightly bad news, bringing everyone back to a rational and calm state before they could even rejoice.

"According to our frontline personnel, a Level 4 Awakened individual whom we have been pursuing has escaped the mainland, leaving us with a mess to clean up."

"Who?"

Someone, out of curiosity, frowned and asked softly, looking rather unguarded and completely at ease.

Recent developments have led the Security Council to recruit and accommodate nine Level 4 Awakeners. Together with seven vice presidents and three presidents, they possess nearly twenty top-tier combatants. Let alone one Level 4 Awakener causing trouble and escaping, even if ten came, they could all be reduced to ashes.

Su Nianlin glanced around, knowing everyone was waiting for his announcement, and then solemnly said:

"Lin Yingya, one of the three threats."

"According to the prophecy provided by the Nine Departments, her growth potential is extremely high. She will cause turmoil in the next 1-2 years, and the probability of her advancing to level 5 is not small."

At this point, the assistant in charge of screen mirroring unzipped the compressed document on the computer.

The images inside were restored to high definition, and immediately, images of the scene investigation and the deceased's body appeared on the microcomputers of the high-ranking officials.

"Her ability is to implant soul imprints and turn ordinary humans, or awakened individuals one level below her, into substitute puppets."

“In recent days, hundreds of people and awakened individuals have died in various places because of her.”

"The causes of death and injury were all different. Some had their heads smashed by what looked like artillery fire, while others suffered severe blood loss as if they had been pierced by sharp objects."

"Without a doubt, during the time she was establishing herself overseas, she transferred a great deal of harm to those completely unrelated puppets."

"On June 12th, the day we began disseminating the ability locks, we discovered one awakened individual who was being 'controlled,' followed by a second, a third, a fourth..."

"The number up to 812 today is only the tip of the iceberg; the true number is far greater. It is still unclear how many people have been 'marked with their souls'."

Upon hearing this number, most of the senior executives couldn't help but look grave.

They saw in the document the method of establishing a soul imprint was clearly written. It didn't require a complicated process; the implantation could be completed in a moment of distraction or an unintentional collision.

Those marked with this symbol are plagued by misfortune throughout their lives, and are forced to take the blame and die for the caster at any time, with no choice but to comply.

Not to mention ordinary people, even some councilors felt a chill in their hearts after seeing this. Due to the uneven strength of the sects, they even worried that one day they might become Lin Yingya's puppet without even knowing it.

Furthermore, even the research institutes of the Nine Departments were unable to decipher the compositional principles of those mysterious 'soul imprints' in a short period of time, and all the methods they tried failed without exception.

"Is there any news about her now?"

Lu Ci frowned in thought. He had witnessed similar dangers of the Dual-Handed Technique, which could replicate countless consciousnesses, become parasites, and seize other people's bodies. Lin Yingya's method of control, however, completely disregarded the human being.

She viewed human life more as a tool that could be consumed and replaced at any time, and which could also solve problems.

"If we don't eliminate her as soon as possible and let her plant her mark at will, when she advances to level 5, if we want to attack her, there will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of puppets standing behind her. It will be troublesome if we want to take action then. We can't possibly send all the people she controls away in one go and bury them with her, can we?"

Another vice president spoke up, and most of the councilors expressed their approval, turning to their colleagues as if seeking their opinions.

"There's nothing more to discuss. Just kill her if she shows up."

"This kind of scourge must not be allowed to live."

"If there is really no way to remove the soul imprint, then if necessary, we can sacrifice some of the hostages to eliminate future troubles."

Su Nianlin had many concerns about this and offered his analysis:

"Killing her is not difficult."

"The difficulty is that this person is currently on the run abroad, and the situation in overseas countries is severe. If we go to their territory at this time to carry out the plan to assassinate Lin Yingya, it is easy to provoke their resistance, and the worst case scenario is that a direct conflict will break out."

"In addition, regarding the safety of the hostages, I have entrusted it to a new friend. His ability is to perform amber sealing, which can shield them from all external substances. The only drawback is that the person sealed inside will not have any conscious thought, and will be in a vegetative state."

"This has bought us a lot of precious time. There are still many substitute puppets that have not been found. Our people are speeding up their efforts to save as many as they can."

"As for the decapitation of Lin Yingya, we will decide based on the circumstances. If she appears in the country, we must eliminate her with the least possible sacrifice. If she appears overseas, we will hold back for the time being and try to negotiate with her to unlock all the soul imprints."

Su Nianlin has a gentle personality. He considers the overall situation while also showing compassion. He genuinely cares about the hostages who are implicated.

From the perspective of maintaining order and ensuring the happiness of more people, as long as the other party exposes their whereabouts, even if the Security Council goes directly overseas and kills Lin Yingya, resulting in the deaths of a small number of people, it will not be overly criticized by the world.

After all, those who survived are the indirect beneficiaries.

For Su Nianlin, it was something that could be resolved in the blink of an eye, but for the hostages who were being held captive, it was a real, insurmountable mountain weighing on them.

He could understand their feelings, and he also felt that one day he would be one of the few who were sacrificed in other similar incidents, the ones who needed to be rescued. Therefore, he tried his best to do the rescue operation well.

After he finished speaking, and several chairpersons expressed their agreement, the other senior executives also unanimously approved the emergency plan proposed by Su Nianlin.

The meeting then continued, chaired by another vice president.

The main point of the presentation was that Behemoth had stopped the research and development and sale of G1 reagents in the past two days. Currently, all countries are in a state of resource shortage. The batches of drugs they purchased earlier were too small. After witnessing the exaggerated potential of the awakened ones, it was too late to obtain large quantities of drugs.

Fortunately, domestic research departments have cracked the mystery of the G1 reagent and created similar alternatives.

The new drug is relatively weaker, but it guides the body's evolution more naturally, still activating the superpowers in the genes without reducing the upper limit. The first batch of the drug is expected to be announced at the end of the year.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the two vice presidents finished speaking. The remaining news was revealed by Wei Yuanming himself.

The old man seemed to have been eagerly anticipating it, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said with obvious delight:

"The founding ceremony of Chixia University was held on June 30th."
