146: Eternal Life Church

The recent search for Lin Fei also exposed one of his current shortcomings: his control over his dependents was not deep enough.

The mere inability to directly know the location of his dependents would have a significant impact on his future ability to remotely command them to attack the Mysterious Organization.

Su Yuan guessed that perhaps a +2 Mind Whisper could solve this deficiency.

Moreover, he currently had enough evolution points.

[evolution points: 66578 / 160000] (Increasing through devouring psionic energy)

Thinking of this, Su Yuan felt a bit eager.

Just right, there was nothing else to do now while following Lin Fei.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan opened his system panel and selected Mind Whisper.

[Mind Whisper (Special Edition): +2 Enhancement, 70% success rate. Enhancement requires 20,000 evolution points. Upon successful enhancement, your mental influence over other beings will become more profound. If enhancement fails, the skill will be retained, and the enhancement Rank will remain unchanged.]

"Twenty thousand evolution points for one enhancement, and no Rank drop if it fails. With my evolution points, I can enhance it three times. It should succeed somehow. Let's do it!"

Su Yuan looked at the skill description, immediately went for it, and clicked enhance.

Because the Two-Winged Dark Python, a dependent, was still beside him, Su Yuan had to maintain a dignified and calm demeanor, not covering his eyes.

The result was...

[Skill Enhancement Failed!]

"I bought a watch last year!"

Su Yuan cursed angrily, this one failure cost twenty thousand evolution points!

Su Yuan extended a tentacle, wet it in the clouds, and washed his face.

"System Dad, give it to your son!"

He looked at the system panel and continued to click enhance.

It had already failed once, it couldn't possibly fail again this time, right!

As the dazzling colorful light receded...

[Skill Enhancement Failed!]

"My @¥@¥... What about the promised 70% success rate!"

Su Yuan cursed angrily, his voice shaking the dark clouds.

"A Fei, listen, such a faint sound. Is it underdeveloped thunder?"

Chen Xu twitched his ears and said.

"Underdeveloped? Maybe it's some other sound."

Lin Fei's mouth twitched, and he casually replied.

Su Yuan, seeing that he only had over twenty thousand evolution points left, was completely carried away. He had already failed twice; it would be too much of a loss not to continue enhancing.

"System Dad, quickly give it to your son!"

Su Yuan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing fiercely, and clicked enhance.

A burst of dazzling colorful light flickered.

Finally, the colorful light faded.

[Congratulations, Host, Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +1 enhancement successful. It is currently Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +2.]

[Mind Whisper (Special Edition) +2: Your mental influence over other beings is more profound.]

"It succeeded!"

Su Yuan's face lit up with joy. This +2 enhancement was too much of a trap; it took three attempts to succeed.

"However, the description of this skill is still very vague."

Su Yuan didn't see any changes in the skill description, but he wasn't anxious.

This skill was very special; its initial description was not enough to fully display its effects.

At the same time, the body of the Two-Winged Dark Python next to him became increasingly twisted and bizarre, releasing an eerie aura.

Su Yuan immediately entered the skill state, perceiving the connection with his dependents within his own mental power.

Upon this perception, Su Yuan truly discovered the difference.

Following these mental connections, his gaze fell upon a Transformed Giant Python, and he actually perceived its location.

This was its location within his mental perception. Su Yuan could follow this direction and travel a certain distance to reach the location of this Transformed Giant Python.

"Indeed, after the skill enhancement, I can perceive the location of my dependents. I just don't know how far this perception range extends."

Su Yuan murmured, trying to perceive the location of the God-Devouring Fish.

After becoming proficient, in just an instant, Su Yuan perceived the location of the God-Devouring Fish. According to its direction and distance, it was still in Dayang Lake.

"If Dayang Lake can be perceived, then what about the Yangtze River outside Shengmen Town?"

Su Yuan muttered to himself, his massive eyes glowing, his enormous body and coiling tentacles resembling a legendary atmospheric creature.

As Su Yuan perceived again, he once more sensed the locations of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Crocodile, Dark Tooth Fish, and Evil Crocodile Turtle.

"I can sense them even from this far."

Su Yuan was a bit surprised. He thought that, given the System's usual behavior, the perception range would also increase with the enhancement Rank.

"Let me see which other dependents are further away."

Su Yuan quickly thought of Wang Dali and the two people whose bodies showed signs of abnormal changes due to their fervent worship of him.

Su Yuan first perceived Wang Dali. Surprisingly, Wang Dali's current location was over a thousand kilometers away from here, and that was a straight-line distance.

This greatly surprised Su Yuan. Could a target over a thousand kilometers away in a straight line also be perceived?

This enhancement was truly powerful.

Moreover, the System also popped up a notification sound.

[This dependent is a special dependent; its race has not yet changed.]

"Special dependent? Indeed, Wang Dali is still human."

Su Yuan was not surprised. He turned his gaze to General Manager Yang and Secretary Huang. These two should also be considered his dependents, and unlike Wang Dali, they should just be ordinary dependents.

Sure enough, as Su Yuan's will was cast, the System's notification sound rang out.

[This dependent has not yet been named. Please name the race of the dependent.]

"Indeed, those two can no longer be considered human. Since they were human in the past, let's call them the Evil Human Race."

Su Yuan thought for a second and then said.

[Congratulations, Host, the Evil Human Race has been successfully named.]

"These two are my super-fanatical believers, and their style of action is so anti-human. Let me see where they are."

Su Yuan originally wanted to see what they were doing, but unfortunately, it seemed that the current skill Rank did not support viewing dependents too far away, so he could only perceive their location.

As Su Yuan perceived, he quickly discovered that the two were currently located over five hundred kilometers to the east.

"That far, much further than when I checked on Wang Dali before. No wonder I couldn't see them."

"That location should be a coastal city, most likely Yue Province."

"They actually ran there. I wonder what kind of storm they will stir up?"

Su Yuan murmured faintly.

He knew that the existence of these two would certainly stir up a bloody storm in human society.

However, by now, he no longer cared much about such matters.

He was not human, nor an octopus, but the future lord of eternal life! The shepherd of humanity!

Perhaps, when Mutated Creatures slaughtered humans in front of him, he would react.

Because, after all, his former self was human.

But that was all.

If it was his dependents, his forces harming humans, he would not care.

For him, his dependents were his true people, who would never betray him.

The greatest use of humans to him was to recall his former self, perhaps.

Perhaps in the end, all humanity will transform into my dependents, following my glory... Yue Province.

Linan City.

A certain county town.

In a remote mountain town.

"Great Creator of the Abyss! the primordial lord of eternal life! Almighty Lord of Darkness!"

"We live in a false world. Our eyes cannot see true colors, our ears cannot hear true sounds, and even love cannot be conveyed to true people."

"We, as insignificant as ants, wish to pray with trembling Souls to you, who transcend time and space, to lead us, the insignificant, to that true other shore, to witness the true world."

...In a farmhouse backyard, a group of people dressed in black robes stood solemnly.

And in front of the crowd, a person in a black robe and a mask was praying with a fanatical tone, seemingly praying to a certain deity.

As his words rang out, everyone in the backyard shouted madly.

"Fellow members of the Church of Eternal Life, reason is a shackle, and so-called madness is the only freedom!"

The masked man in black robes spoke fanatically, resonating with everyone present.

"Everyone, we have always lived in a false world, and this false world is gradually becoming more and more dangerous!"

"Rats bigger than cats, cats bigger than tigers, wolves so huge they can devour elephants."

"Fellow members of the Church of Eternal Life, this is the false world! These terrifying Mutated Creatures are constantly appearing worldwide!"

"Although the government has been hiding the truth, they are wrong! This false world will destroy all life!"

"Various dangerous Mutated Creatures will become increasingly dangerous! They will gradually resist bullets! Resist bombs! Resist missiles! And even resist nuclear bombs!"

"Until the very end, those who have not escaped this false world will be destroyed by the false world!"

"the primordial lord of eternal life! The only True God! Is our only hope to escape the false world!"
