Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1071 - 490: Incense Fire Evil Thoughts’ AFK Leveling, The Infinite Life of Emperor Wu Who Reveres Buddha and Suppresses Tao

Chapter 1071: Chapter 490: Incense Fire Evil Thoughts’ AFK Leveling, The Infinite Life of Emperor Wu Who Reveres Buddha and Suppresses Tao

Soon, the Village Chief led a large group of villagers into the temple.

The villagers, seeing severed limbs and mutilated arms scattered all around, had indifferent, numb expressions, seemingly accustomed to the bloody and brutal sacrificial killings; even if the bodies included their own relatives, their expressions remained unchanged.

Under the guidance of the new presider and the Village Chief, they devoutly worshipped the new Buddha, ’Homage to the Great Sacred Sarira King Buddha,’ offering the incense in their hands.

[You have absorbed the Incense Fire Evil Thoughts, and the shell ’Son of the Original Fire of Desire’ gained some experience points!]

[The power within the shell started to surge, and the shell level of ’Son of the Original Fire of Desire’ increased, current shell level: 62 (182)]

[You have absorbed the Incense Fire Evil Thoughts...]

[...]

As numerous villagers worshipped, the game prompts rapidly flashed.

The shell level of ’Son of Evil’ skyrocketed, constantly receiving level-up prompts as if it had taken an experience pill.

The progress bar for ’Source of Extreme Evil Power’ in its panel also steadily increased.

"Playing the Underworld Game like an idle placement game, must be unique to me, right?"

This effortless and rapid leveling-up benefit gave Lin Xun a thrill as if he had activated a cheat.

Thinking about it, he seemed to have never turned it off, not turning it off is as good as having it on...

When each villager had offered their share of Incense Fire Evil Thoughts in turn, the level of ’Son of Evil’ had already soared to level 71.

Lin Xun smacked his lips, feeling somewhat unsatisfied, and had the villagers go through the process once again.

However, it seemed that the Incense Fire Evil Thoughts each villager could produce had been exhausted.

Even if they continued to burn incense and worship, they could not draw more power from it, and they would need to wait for a while until the villagers accumulated their own evil thoughts again before ’Son of Evil’ could continue leveling up.

Li Family Village had a population of just under a thousand, excluding the hundred or so people Lin Xun had eliminated, leaving an estimated seven to eight hundred people remaining.

Even just a few hundred people could bring such substantial power benefits. It was unimaginable what could be achieved by gathering all the followers of an entire city, continuously drawing Incense Fire Evil Thoughts over the years, and how much their own power would be enhanced.

Indeed, the current massive improvement was because the current level of ’Son of Evil’ was low, below the average level of minor monsters in the current Chapter, which allowed for such rapid progression.

But if the scope were expanded from a village to a city, or even to an entire country, or the entire Chapter world, then the resultant power gains would become extremely terrifying. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

It shows that becoming a god through incense worship was not just a joke, but very much achievable.

"Probably only in this world full of evil thoughts, could ’Son of Evil’ advance so quickly. Once this opportunity is missed, there’s no other, so I must grasp it well," Lin Xun thought.

After Lin Xun had absorbed all of Li Family Village’s Incense Fire Evil Thoughts, the ’Mother of all Evils Buddha,’ whose worship was snatched away, did not descend in anger.

It was unclear whether the worship of such a small amount from Li Family Village was insignificant to her, or if she was deterred from showing herself due to that devastating Dragon Breath Lin Xun had unleashed earlier.

"Quite patient, aren’t you? I’ll see how long you can hold out!" Lin Xun scoffed coldly, already prepared to head to ’Uss City’ to destroy the enemy’s stronghold.

Seizing the incense worship from Li Family Village might be trivial to the ’Mother of all Evils Buddha,’ but if the entire incense worship of ’Uss City’ was taken, he truly doubted she could remain seated.

With the ’Chaos Ability’ as his cheat-like artifact, Lin Xun was not worried about being located. Having the advantage of the enemy being visible while he remained hidden was not to be wasted; it would be too wasteful not to use it to enhance his own power.

If the Buddha dared descend to the mortal world, he was ready to slay deities and explode their divinity. If the Buddha constantly played it safe, that wouldn’t impede his goal of seizing incense to enhance his power.

"Creating immortality, becoming a divine being, the gaming experience is indeed unmatched compared to before..." Lin Xun couldn’t help but express his amazement.

If the past Lin Xun, despite having ’Thousand Faces and Million Forms,’ could describe his gaming experience as barely good, or even painful,

the present him was like upgrading from a musket to a cannon, just brazenly smashing through everything.

Of course, it also helped that he was in a Chapter with early novice benefits...

[...]

[After the mass worship by the villagers had ended, you inform the ’new presider’ that you wish to head to ’Uss City’ to rescue the suffering people there and help them break free from the clutches of the wild gods. The ’new presider,’ aware of your vast powers, fetched some ink and paper, drew the exact location of ’Uss City’ on the map, and handed it over to you with both hands...]

[You have acquired ’Map of Uss City’ (map)!]

[The ’new presider’ respectfully said to you, Supreme Buddha, evil must be thoroughly eradicated. ’Fire Worship Cult’ set up Buddha statues for the wild gods and taught people the ways of killing and sacrificial rites. If you kill the ’Mother of all Evils Buddha’ but do not eradicate the evildoers within the ’Fire Worship Cult,’ then thousands of ’Mothers of all Evils Buddha’ will be born.]

[You understand in your heart that this is just an excuse. The ’new presider’ is worried that if you only kill the ’Mother of all Evils Buddha’ without converting the ’Fire Worship Cult,’ the cult will seek revenge on Li Family Village after the fall harvest. For after all, your new incarnation as Buddha seems ever like a Furious Diamond King Kong, one who slays but does not convert...]
