Chapter 377

“What do we do with the rest of the followers?” Su Jin walked over to ask Chu Yi.

Chu Yi glanced at the followers who were cheering, then sighed in frustration and said, “I don’t know either. Some of these people had listened to the cult leader because they were only trying to stay alive and had no other choice. The resistance army doesn’t really have anything against such people. But there are some among them who are bloodthirsty and kill for fun. These are the people we want to deal with, but… it’s impossible to tell who’s who like this!”

“Are you saying that you want the real evildoers killed, and you’ll let the rest off?” asked Su Jin.

Chu Yi nodded, then scratched his head awkwardly as he said, “Uh… sounds a little impossible, doesn’t it?”

“Not really, actually,” Su Jin shook his head. He turned toward the followers and a silver glint lit up his eyes. If one was observing Su Jin’s eyes carefully now, they would notice that these weren’t just random sparkles in his eyes. The sparkles formed special patterns and symbols.

Just then, the head of an owner among the followers suddenly exploded. He had been celebrating with the rest – the cult leader was dead and he couldn’t kill at his whim and fancy anymore, but the person who had control over his survival was dead, so that was worth celebrating too. But just when he was still reeling from excitement, he blacked out, because his head had exploded like a watermelon getting smashed. His head was nothing but a bloody cloud in the air.

At the same time, other heads were exploding the same way among the owners who were part of the cult before. The only thing they had in common was the fact that they had gone on merciless massacres while the cult leader had ruled this world.

The resistance army stared at the exploding heads and suddenly became very terrified of Su Jin. Han Linmei let go of Chu Yi and moved away, her eyes filled with fear as she stared in horror at Su Jin.

She didn’t expect Su Jin to become so powerful in such a short time. None of them understood what in the world happened to the cult leader, but Su Jin was definitely the one who killed her. And just moments ago, Chu Yi complained about how it was difficult to deal with the remaining followers, but Su Jin didn’t look troubled by it at all. Then… the heads of some of the followers started to explode just like that. If those were truly people who deserved to die, then this man… was even more powerful than a god, wasn’t he?

“No, I’m not like the gods. If I were faced with extremely highly ranked owners, I would be in trouble too,” said Su Jin as he grinned at Han Linmei.

She stared back at him in surprise for a while, then realized that Su Jin must have read her thoughts. He immediately added, “I’m sorry, my body has gone through a lot of changes lately and I’m still unable to control them very well, so I accidentally overheard your thoughts.”

Actually, Su Jin could have read Han Linmei’s thoughts easily even if he hadn’t chosen this path. He just needed to activate his Spirit Power and use his psychokinesis to read her mind. But now, everyone’s thoughts were open to him and he could read them like a book. However, this ability could be a problem too. He had to make sure he got used to it and turned it from a passive skill to an active one.

He then said to Chu Yi, “The problem in your world has been settled, so you can focus your energies on the Handbook. I need both of you to become gods as quickly as possible!”

“Hey! We’re not a mutant like you, so it’s not as easy for us to become gods. I’m not even sure if we can get through that Grave of the Gods you told us about in one piece.” Situ Jin was confident of his own abilities, but after hearing about how Oscar nearly died at the entrance despite having a similar Spirit Power, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Su Jin laughed and said, “You don’t have to worry about the Grave of the Gods. I came out of there with some things, so you can get through it without a hitch. But… while you get to avoid some risks, I need you guys to meet the criteria to become a god first. Otherwise, even if I could make you two gods immediately, you’d only be low tier gods, which would be completely meaningless.”

Situ Jin and Chu Yi nodded in agreement. They were both aiming to become top tier gods. They didn’t want to settle for anything less.

Since the problem in Chu Yi’s world was settled, Su Jin was going to leave the rest to the resistance army and return to his world with Situ Jin.

Just when he was about to leave, Chu Yi remarked, “Wow, Boss, you’re really powerful now, huh. In the past, if you wanted to come here, you’d have to beg that asshole, Shen Wu, to teleport you.”

“Speaking of Shen Wu, I killed him in the Grave of the Gods,” said Su Jin with a bright smile.

Chu Yi and Situ Jin blinked in surprise. It hadn’t been too long since they snuck into Shen Wu’s world and were nearly killed as they tried to rescue Ye Yun. Back then, Su Jin had been barely able to fight Shen Wu. But now, Su Jin had managed to slay Shen Wu and avenge Ye Yun.

“Boss, why not… perhaps we should choose the same path as you?” said Chu Yi as he scratched his head.

But Su Jin immediately shook his head. “Firstly, if you want to go down this path, you have to understand what it means for yourself and I can’t lead you there. Secondly, this path is way too dangerous. If I didn’t get that item from Mai, I would probably be dead by now. So, I would advise you to give up that thought for the time being.”

After saying goodbye to Chu Yi, Su Jin brought Situ Jin back to their world, then bid Situ Jin farewell too. When he got back home, Su Jin suddenly remembered something and summoned Chimimoryo from his Handbook.

“This power… what’s going on with you? You’ve… you’re outside of the Handbook now!” Chimimoryo was clearly very surprised.

“Oho! You seem to know quite a bit,” said Su Jin curiously.

“But of course. I followed a top tier god back then and I witnessed many things for myself. But… it’s too bad. I thought you were a clever man, but you ended up choosing this path. You’re not far from death,” said Chimimoryo without holding back.

Su Jin made a face, then said, “Don’t worry, I have my own means to make sure the Handbook can’t tell. I’m just an ordinary owner to the Handbook.”

“That’s impossible. The Handbook knows everything. Your fate was sealed from the moment you chose this path.” Chimimoryo did not believe Su Jin at all.

Su Jin shrugged. “It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. Anyway, you said before that you needed a Badge of Godhood to complete your evolution process, right?”

“That’s right. Unlike you, I am unable to become a god on my own, so I need a Badge to complete my transformation and become a true living being,” said Chimimoryo. “That was why I was willing to follow you back then. I didn’t expect you to be… this foolish. How disappointing!”

“Aw, I’m sorry for disappointing you. But I do have a Badge of Godhood.” Su Jin retrieved the Badge of Godhood from his Handbook. This was the reason why Shen Wu had been hot on Ye Yun’s heels for such a long time. Both Ye Yun and Shen Wu were dead, and now, this Badge was in Su Jin’s hands.

“A Badge of Godhood!” Chimimoryo became extremely excited when it saw the Badge, but it managed to control itself. It trembled nonstop, but it did not try to snatch it from Su Jin.

“Very good. If you had tried to snatch it from me, I would make sure it never lands in your hands,” Su Jin gave a pleased nod. Chimimoryo was not something that only cared for its own benefit.

But Chimimoryo sneered and said, “Why should I bother snatching it from you? You’re about to die, so once that happens…”

“You won’t get the Badge either. When an owner dies, everything in their Handbook will be taken back,” said Su Jin with a smile.

“Damn, when you put it like that, you really make me want to kill you and snatch that Badge from you!” snarled Chimimoryo.

“Haha! Believe me, doing that would not do you any good. But we could strike a deal. If you’re agreeable, I’ll give this Badge to you,” said Su Jin calmly.
