Chapter 603: Qi Yuan's Divine Decree
Chapter 603: Qi Yuan's Divine Decree
November 22, 2024
Leading the group, Expert Liu seemed lost in thought, as if fearing that casually mentioning the Incubus would expose Zhao Song's identity.
After all, they were upright individuals, not some Blood Vampires.
He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Let's observe for a few more days, and then we'll bring up the Incubus."
He still wasn't ready to expose the Incubus so soon, to avoid compromising their cover.
At that moment, the group chat was bustling with activity.
"I really want to drink blood."
"I had a delicious drink today. (It's just 300 yuan per bottle.)"
"Demon Hunters? We're just tasty morsels to them."
"On my way back tonight, I encountered a group of Demon Hunters. Although I was brave and powerful, I was ultimately outnumbered, and they took a lot of my Blood Coins."
"Sigh, my phone was also taken by the Demon Hunters. I'll have to find a time to infiltrate their lair and retrieve my phone."
The group chat was filled with all sorts of random chatter.
For Qi Yuan, these messages held little nutritional value.
However, for Zhao Song and the Sky Federation members, this information contained numerous factors.
"They mentioned phones, so these Blood Vampires seem to exist in a civilized society too."
"That's strange, do they also call their phones 'phones' in their world?"
"Their language is the same, but... does this mysterious object translate our messages into something they can understand?"
"Regardless, this is extraordinary. Our current scientific understanding can't comprehend it."
Extraordinary abilities aren't superstitions; they can also be explained scientifically.
It's just that their technological level is still low, so it's temporarily incomprehensible.
"It's like the Incubus." Expert Liu added.
Mentioning the Incubus, the crowd was moved.
Compared to two hundred years ago, the Sky Federation had advanced in technology and civilization.
In this world, ancient famines and cannibalistic practices were unlikely.
Everyone, even vagrants, could eat their fill.
However, beneath the neon lights and alcohol, Incubi ran rampant, especially at night.
On the streets, Incubi occasionally appeared, but only a small portion of people could see them.
Those who saw the Incubi would face terrible luck.
Terror and death loomed.
Once, a group of twelve tourists went for a barbecue.
After eating and drinking their fill, they prepared to take a taxi back to their hotel.
Logically, they should have needed three taxis.
However, one person called for an extra taxi because he saw fourteen people.
The rest only saw twelve.
It was somewhat similar to a Chinese horror story.
In the end, as the extra person waited for the taxi, a cool breeze sobered him up, and he suddenly realized something.
Unaware, he was fine, but once aware... the extra people stared at him menacingly.
Eventually, he didn't get a taxi and never returned to the hotel.
Such incidents frequently occurred in the Sky Federation.
With a population over one billion, the annual death toll from Incubi or Incubus-related incidents exceeded one million, and this number continued to rise.
Ten years ago, the number was merely ten thousand.
Based on the Sky Federation's estimates and the frequency of Incubi appearances, in three years, the annual death toll would surpass ten million.
In twenty years, civilization would collapse, falling to the Incubi.
Hence, they were anxious and viewed this group as a lifeline.
"I hope the Blood Vampires can... deal with the Incubi." The tall woman said, her eyes filled with anticipation.
This was the expectation of the rest.
...
Time slowly passed.
The group chat, like before, was quiet during the day and lively at night.
"If it weren't for this so-called Multiverse Mirror being so extraordinary, I'd think these people were elementary or middle school students.
They only have time to chat at night after school."
"Yes, and they go offline so punctually every day."
Within the Sky Federation, many discussed, their expressions complex.
However, they knew this was a facade, and the group was filled with Blood Vampires.
Of course, there might be some like Zhao Song, pretending to be Blood Vampires.
This group of experts and advisors had already suspected the identities of thirteen group members through analysis.
At the same time, they confirmed that the group owner, the so-called Blood Vampire Emperor, had no means to judge if they were Incubi.
At this moment, the Blood Vampire Emperor spoke again.
"Are there any subjects willing to believe in me? I'm preparing to test my Divine Decree soon."
Qi Yuan spoke the truth.
Recently, he had been pondering the Divine Decree.
The Divine Decree was somewhat similar to Word Becomes Law.
Achieving the Divine Decree Realm was simple: one's Divine Decree gained recognition and trust from believers.
The more believers trusted and acknowledged it, the stronger the Divine Decree Realm became.
Then, it was time to extract the true meaning from the Divine Decree.
The members of the Sky Federation held their breath in anticipation.
Zhao Song's eyes widened, and he felt a surge of excitement.
Was the group leader finally going to talk about something extraordinary?
But what was this Divine Decree? They were curious, but didn't dare ask, fearing exposure.
"Divine Decree, what is it?" Fortunately, a group member asked on their behalf.
"A Divine Decree is the words of the gods," Qi Yuan casually replied.
This statement was only half-true.
Generally, for the True Gods of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods, a Divine Decree was the essence of their core rules, distilled into a decree.
For example, if a True God's core was fire, or if the path they aspired to was fire, then the Divine Decree they could distill would be something like, "Fire can burn everything."
Then, they would bestow a flame upon their followers, one that could burn everything.
On the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods, Qi Yuan had conversed with some True Gods and learned these secrets.
However, he had his own interpretation.
"If a Divine Decree is limited to just fire, water, or space, then it's definitely a Phantom God's Decree, not a True God's Decree."
"A Divine Decree... should be words becoming law."
Just like how the Celestial Dao Foundation is the Celestial Dao Foundation.
A Divine Decree is just my words, words becoming law.
Qi Yuan's idea was simple.
He didn't possess superpowers, but his words could grant people's wishes.
For instance, the last time in the Azure Wave Realm, a cultivator wished for a quiet Dao companion.
After Qi Yuan's response, a cup suddenly appeared beside the cultivator, one that could even heat up liquids.
Using the Unique Palace to create a God Realm.
Regarding Divine Decrees, Qi Yuan believed that his superpower could be distilled into a decree, making words become law.
Looking at the group chat, Qi Yuan continued, "There are many truths in the world, and my words are one of them."
Qi Yuan didn't consider his words to be the only truth.
"Grant me a soft companion, one that can protect me." At this moment, the person claiming to be Duke Nar spoke up.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan hesitated.
"Are you sure you want a companion?"
He recalled the cultivator from the Azure Wave Realm, whose Divine Decree was still unstable.
He was afraid that he might bestow another cup upon them.
"I do!" Duke Nar affirmed.
The other group members curiously watched as these messages unfolded.
The members of the Sky Federation were filled with anticipation, eager to see what the group leader would do.
"Since that's the case, by my Divine Decree, I grant you a companion!"
On the Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods, Qi Yuan spoke, his voice calm, with a hint of sacredness.
His superpower of speaking words aligned with the Divine Decree at this moment.
At the same time, in an unknown world, a young girl, wearing pajamas and with her legs propped up, was lying on a bed in a high-rise building, giggling as she read the messages on the Multiverse Mirror.
She was the one pretending to be Duke Nar.
Ever since she was diagnosed with severe delusional disorder, she underwent treatment during the day, only having her own private space at night.
However, Duke Nar always felt that she wasn't ill.
It was this world that was sick, where people with animal features, with horse eyes, tiger heads, and snake bodies, wore clothes and pretended to be human.
In the entire city, there were very few humans like her.
"Can you really give me a companion?"
The girl waited eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.
But in the next moment, her anticipation turned into a scream.
"Ah... This... This!"
In a 169 book, a 1 bar, a 1 look, a 0 mistake version!
Suddenly, in her hand, a soft, plastic item appeared.
Her face turned red instantly.
Looking at this companion, she was both shocked and embarrassed.
"This companion is a little strange," she said in the group chat.
The others curiously asked.
"Did you really grant a companion?"
"What kind?"
"Cough, it's a bit like a stick," Duke Nar replied.
"A Vampire Staff? That's a great companion."
"It's a bit odd," Duke Nar continued.
"What's wrong? Aren't you satisfied?" Qi Yuan asked. "You wanted a soft companion, right? So it's soft, but rest assured, when needed, it can also be very hard."
Qi Yuan was speaking the truth.
Duke Nar's wish was for a soft companion that could protect her.
As soon as Qi Yuan's Divine Decree was spoken, the companion descended upon her world.
When Duke Nar encountered danger, the companion Qi Yuan had granted would immediately harden, becoming indestructible like a divine artifact, protecting Duke Nar and slaying evil demons.
"I want one too!"
"I want a sweet old companion!"
"I want delicious eggs!"
"I want ice cream!"
"Me too!"
The group chat became a pool of wishes, with many members starting to make their desires known.
"As expected, the more people, the more fools."
"There's no need to scheme and compete with them."
Qi Yuan was in a good mood.
If this were any other group, everyone would probably be cautious and not make wishes so casually.
But this was different.
"Alright, my Divine Decree, I'll grant your wishes."
"This is your sweet wife. Take note, she's afraid of heat and the sun, so don't roast her, she might melt."
"This is a delicious egg, but be careful, it's a bit hard, don't chip your front teeth."
Qi Yuan went wild, fulfilling their wishes.
His superpower was constantly refining into Divine Decrees.
Of course, even after cultivating Divine Decrees, his superpower remained.
At this moment, those in the Sky Federation witnessing this scene felt their hearts stir.
"Should we take this opportunity to make wishes?"
"What wishes should we make?"
"We should hold a meeting to discuss this properly."
After all, it was rare for a group leader to fulfill everyone's wishes.
Could they take this chance to bring up the issue of the Incubus?
Just then, Zhao Song's face suddenly turned pale.
"Incubus!"
His pupils dilated pupils were filled with fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
His exclamation caught the attention of everyone present. A bad thought flashed through their minds.
"What's wrong, Zhao Song? Did you see an Incubus?" Liu Expert scanned the surroundings, his face filled with concern.
"Yes, he's under the table, holding my leg, waaah!"
A sense of restraint and sliminess spread up his leg, and Zhao Song dared not move, let alone look down.
At first, he thought it might be something else, but when he glanced under the table, he was met with a pair of dull, sinister eyes, and his body went numb.
He realized he had encountered an Incubus.
"What should I do?" Zhao Song was, after all, just a high school student, and he didn't have the extraordinary mental fortitude to face the terrifying Incubus, causing him to break down instantly.
"Don't panic, stay calm." Liu Expert took a deep breath.
Those around them looked at Zhao Song with pity.
Those who encountered an Incubus rarely survived, perhaps one in ten thousand.
And those who did were incredibly lucky.
Zhao Song clearly didn't have that kind of luck.
"There's a chance to survive, just find the pattern." Liu Expert took a deep breath, his mind racing.
Just then, a tall woman spoke up, "Why don't we ask the group leader?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt it made sense.
"Yes, ask the group leader!"
"Maybe the group leader can help you!"
Many experts felt that they must keep Zhao Song alive and that asking the group leader might be a good idea.
The numbing sensation in Zhao Song's leg intensified, and Liu Expert made a decision, "Ask the group leader, what should we do when encountering an Incubus?"
"Okay." Zhao Song's voice trembled, mixed with sobs.
"Vampire Emperor, I've encountered an Incubus, I want to live... What should I do? I don't want to die, waaah!"
At this moment, Zhao Song couldn't be bothered with pretense, after all, he was still a student.
"Encountered an Incubus?" Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with a smile, "It's simple. Go find a nearby restroom and squat inside. If the Incubus knocks, just say there's someone inside."
Qi Yuan was satisfied with his response.
If there's someone in the restroom, the Incubus should leave, right?
"Follow my instructions, and you'll survive."
Hearing this, the experts present showed disbelief.
"Someone in the restroom?"
"What kind of nonsense is this!"
"How can this be!"
Clearly, they didn't believe Qi Yuan's words.
After all, it was too absurd and abstract.
And restrooms were high-frequency locations for Incubus encounters.
Every year, tens of thousands of people died in restrooms after encountering Incubuses.
The crowd discussed animatedly, all unconvinced.
Just then, Liu Expert spoke gravely, "Follow the Vampire Emperor's instructions."
They had no other options, it was their last resort.
After all, encountering an Incubus meant certain death.
Could the group leader's words really save Zhao Song's life?
It was worth a try.
"My leg's numb, waaah, I can't walk to the restroom," Zhao Song whimpered.
The Incubus was still holding his leg, making it impossible for him to walk to the nearest restroom.
"Find someone to carry him," someone muttered.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
They hadn't seen the Incubus, so they could carry Zhao Song to the restroom without being affected by the Incubus.
But this would also lead them into the Incubus's trap, and they might be killed by the Incubus.
So, when someone shouts for help, don't respond.
Because if you go to help, you'll also be entangled by the Incubus.
"Li Xiang, you carry him," a high-ranking official ordered, instructing a guard to carry Zhao Song to the restroom.
