Chapter 561 The Holy One!
One after another, faintly golden souls appeared from the void, landed behind the old man, and then disappeared.

At the last moment, they did not hear the old man's words.

And there was nothing wrong with the old man's speech.

Frivolous and uninteresting as it may be, it is surprising that such a little trick allows the soul to survive its impending downfall.

At this moment, the boy finally realized that the old man in front of him didn't seem to be that simple——

He is not a warlock.

"What do you want to entrust me with?" the boy asked vigilantly.

The old man smiled and said: "I saw many polluted souls in the future trying to eat my flesh and blood to understand and inherit my power, but none of them succeeded."

Without waiting for the boy to say anything, he continued: "After you leave this life, in the last life in the extremely long future, you will have the opportunity to deceive those monsters, come to their lair with an unpolluted soul, and see my flesh and blood ..."

It took the young man a few breaths before he understood what the old man meant.

"Can you see the future?" he asked in disbelief.

"The future is uncertain, I can only believe that you have made it that far," said the old man.

"Then what is your commission?" the boy asked with interest.

"Let my holy country stand behind you, and all souls live in peace, and you can fight those monsters together - I will give you a completely suitable reward." The old man said.

The young man laughed, shook his head and said, "I only know how to cheat and make a living. You are entrusting me with the myths and legends, which is beyond the upper limit of my ability."

"What if you are capable?"

"That depends on whether the reward is appropriate or not."

"What if the reward is right?"

"...Of course it's a deal, wait a minute," the young man suddenly realized, and asked, "This is your holy country, I'm here to help you, what about you?"

The old man said solemnly: "I am the omniscient and omnipotent Lord. Since I can live, I can naturally die. I will die for a while. When you are sure to resist those monsters, it will not be too late for me to come back to life."

The boy was stunned.

This old guy...he's planning to hide, isn't he?

"Don't look at me with that expression. I have reasons for doing this. After all, as long as those monsters know your abilities and moves, they can enter the state of 'invincible'. Almost no one can restrain it. It depends on whether you can think about it in the future. Find a way." The old man said.

The young man silently digested the words.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked, tilting his head.

"I do know," the old man said, looking at him deeply, "but you have been wandering between life and death for too long, and sooner or later you will forget who you are."

His gaze moved away from the boy and slowly fell into the void.

——That's where Liu Ping's perspective is.

"Remember, before eating my flesh and blood, you must say: 'Thank God for the food', in this way, my flesh and blood will sense that your soul is pure, and it will turn into your strength."

"Also, the melee mage has already appeared, and its power has passed into your hands."

"Don't give it up."

The voice fell.

All the scenes disappeared immediately.

In the final analysis, this was just an idea that popped up from the depths of Liu Ping's mind.

It's shattered.

And the outside world has just passed a second.

Liu Ping seemed to be in a daze, or just paused for a moment.

Lines of burning small characters floated in the void:

"This is the memory of a past life, and it will only be activated in the current situation."

"You accepted the other party's reward."

"The reward is unknown."

"The entrustment has been established."

"You will continue to be paid at the cost of saving God's kingdom against the enemies of mankind."

Liu Ping was speechless.

Before the remuneration is known, the commission is established.

Is this how the boss of the holy camp works?
Looking at the piece of flesh and blood in front of him, he suddenly remembered what the other person said, so he sighed and read:

"Thank God for the food."

There was no movement in the piece of meat.

But Liu Ping found that a golden light flew out of his flesh and submerged into his body.

Jinmang enters the body.

Immediately afterwards, the piece of meat didn't seem to have changed in any way, but a line of small words appeared next to it:
"The current flesh and blood is a strange thing that has been prepared. When the true power contained in it is absorbed by you, it will become a top-quality steak."

"You have obtained the original seed of divine power."

"This seed will manifest the divine attributes and completely fit your fighting style."

"It's one of the rewards."

All the fine print disappeared.

Liu Ping cut up the steak and began to eat it slowly.

Soon.

He ate the entire steak while his parents watched.

They were indifferent to that golden light, as if they hadn't seen it at all.

"tasty."

Liu Ping smiled.

Seeing that he had finished eating, his parents nodded slightly to each other as if they had let go of their worries.

"Then...it depends on your 'manifestation' tomorrow morning." Father said.

"Yes, I can't wait. I hope that after you get nourishment, you can manifest successfully at once." The mother also said expectantly.

The meal is over.

The three stood up, walked out of the church, and went all the way back to the door of a certain villa.

The door opens automatically.

"Go upstairs and rest." Mother urged.

"Okay, I'm really tired, see you tomorrow." Liu Ping yawned.

"Go to bed early, I have to get up early to go to school tomorrow, and have a 'manifestation'." The father also said seriously.

Liu Ping waved his hands at the two, went up to the second floor, opened his room and got in.

——This is indeed a room for ordinary people.

He glanced around and found nothing unusual, then lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Time passed slowly.

The entire room remained extremely quiet.

10 minutes.

Two 10 minutes.

half an hour.

Liu Ping sat up from the bed and glanced at the door.

In the void, a prompt appears.

——Those monsters are really considerate, for fear of being disturbed, they arranged dozens of silent spells outside the room.

"Liu Ping." Andrea's voice suddenly sounded.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping asked.

"I seem to have gotten a good boost of strength...it's from the holy side, but it's stronger than the normal holy side. What's going on?" Andrea asked.

A line of small burning characters floated in the void:

"—a commission reward from the omniscient and omnipotent lord."

Liu Ping became interested.

That's right, everything just happened in my mind, it was just a thought.

Andrea naturally didn't know this.

He still doesn't know what this kind of reward is, but he wants to save the entire Kingdom of God for him.

Liu Ping asked: "This is the seed of divine power. It needs to fit my fighting style—I didn't expect it to go to you. How about this kind of power? Can it help you?"

"Of course it is useful. Do you remember that I can summon all kinds of weapons for you to fight?" Andrea said.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"Now the weapons I summon have the original bonus of the sacred system, and the power has been increased by countless times." Andrea said.

In the void, weapons with different shapes flashed from time to time, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

The difference from before is——

Now their surfaces are covered with a thin layer of holy light.

Liu Ping picked up a dagger casually and stabbed lightly towards the void.

The dagger immediately turned into hundreds of screaming phantoms, stabbing thousands of times in the void.

"Ah... is this the ability that comes with the dagger?" Liu Ping asked.

"Consecutive stabbing is an inherent ability." Andrea said.

"With the blessing of the sacred side, what ability has been added?" Liu Ping asked.

"Look!" Andrea said.

I saw that in that void, there suddenly appeared one after another phantom daggers, stabbing back and forth non-stop.

The difference from before is that these phantom daggers have all turned dark green.

"The attack is obviously over, but it can suddenly appear and stab thousands of times in a row." Andrea said.

"It's like an ambush... But, it's only enhanced a little?" Liu Ping asked.

"Each stab contains a kind of sacred poison, each of which is different. There are thousands of them in total. After being superimposed on each other, a single poison is more powerful." Andrea said.

"The holy side still uses poison? Why don't I remember such a thing?" Liu Ping wondered.

"This is the original power of the sacred side. It is manifested according to the temperament of the user—that is, whoever uses it will manifest what it will be." Andrea said with a smile.

——It was Liuping who used this power.

Liu Ping immediately said: "Sure enough, we can use poison on our sacred side from now on, but what is the effect of this poison?"

"If an evil enemy is stabbed, he will be injured by deadly poison immediately," Andrea said.

"It's just poison, how can we tell if the opponent is an evil enemy?" Liu Ping wondered.

"When someone is against you, he is the enemy of evil."

"...well, that's smart."

Liu Ping let go of the dagger, grabbed it casually, and then grabbed a long sword.

The long sword was pressed by him, and the whole blade flew out, almost stabbing the door.

Liu Ping was startled, quickly waved his hand, and put away the weapon.

"It's...too unexpected."

he murmured.

"That's right, the sword that flew out just now will turn into a holy bomb." Andrea said.

"Effect?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's a bit like a nuclear bomb," Andrea said.

"Wouldn't that blow me up?"

"It only explodes evil existences... Because you use it, it has the ability to fit your personal nature."

Liu Ping fell silent.

"Look at this, I'm curious what sacred properties it will release in your hands." Andrea released another weapon on the technological side.

—It was an old-fashioned shoulder-mounted single-shot rocket launcher.

Liu Ping carried the bazooka on his shoulder.

"How?" he asked.

"Well...it manifests a kind of divine power. When you press the launch button, you can immediately return to the previous safe place-this becomes an escape tool."

Andrea seemed to be in high spirits, and kept finding various weapons from the void, trying to choose the strangest one for Liu Ping to use.

Liu Ping stared at all kinds of weapons constantly appearing around him. After a while, he finally said:

"That guy told me not to give up my career as a melee mage... I understand what he means now."
