Chapter 957: Faith and ‘Apostle’

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The strange song was filled with complex syllables.

Rising Lizard stopped eating and looked up at the Medusa Snake Demon before turning to look at Lin Yuan expectantly.

The chain of events left Lin Yuan confused.

He ordered the Kill Food Sky Butterfly to land on Rising Lizard before summoning Genius and saying, “Genius, use Connected Tail and link yourself to Rising Lizard and me.”

Genius meowed before two tails separated from it and turned into silver links. One connected Lin Yuan and Rising Lizard, while the other connected Genius and Rising Lizard.

Rising Lizard was not hostile toward Lin Yuan, so it granted full access to its memories and thoughts.

Lin Yuan immediately knew the meaning behind the Medusa Snake Demon’s song through the links.

The meaning shocked Lin Yuan.

Normally, the Medusa Giant Lizard was obedient to the Medusa Snake Demon. Yet now, the Medusa Snake Demon addressed Rising Lizard as ‘Apostle’ and offered its faith to Rising Lizard.

When he saw how the Medusa Snake Demon was staring at Rising Lizard’s totem, he knew that the totem was why the Medusa Snake Demon addressed Rising Lizard as ‘Apostle’.

Lin Yuan knew that Rising Lizard was just a Class 4 Medusa Giant Lizard and was far from being an Apostle. Hence, he was certain that the Apostle of the marsh world had to have immense source-type power.

He also realized that there was more to the marsh world than met the eye.

It also proved that the Medusa Snake Demon knew about the existence of the Apostle.

The Apostle used faith to control the intelligent lifeforms in the marsh world and turned them into its believers.

This meant that a group of Apostles with totems on their bodies ruled the marsh world.

It was even likely that a higher lifeform existed above Apostle.

Rising Lizard was just a Class 4 dimensional lifeform for now. As it continued to grow, it might be able to break through to Apostle.

Although Lin Yuan was still unsure about the structure of Apostles and faiths, he would not say no to the Medusa Snake Demon wanting to become Rising Lizard’s believers as it would allow him to control a Class 6 Medusa Snake Demon.

Aside from its strong combat power, the Medusa Snake Demon’s intelligence and half-human form would be helpful in Lin Yuan’s expansion into the marsh world.

Now that it had Lin Yuan’s permission, Rising Lizard roared toward the Medusa Snake Demon, and a look of elation came over the Medusa Snake Demon’s face.

It was an honor for a believer to be accepted by its Apostle.

The Medusa Snake Demon’s elation changed into piousness as it placed its hands together as though it was praying.

The silhouette of a soul rose from the Medusa Snake Demon and entered Rising Lizard’s totem.

An amber light shot out of Rising Lizard’s totem and landed on the Medusa Snake Demon. A faint totem appeared on the Medusa Snake Demon’s shoulder. However, this totem was inky green, while the one on Rising Lizard was amber.

Rising Lizard used the totem to confirm the Medusa Snake Demon’s desire to become its believer.

Lin Yuan had been using Connected Tails to read Rising Lizard’s thoughts during this process.

He realized that the power of faith was different from the power of the spirit, soul, and others.

This power was mystical, and Lin Yuan could not momentarily place his finger on it.

The power of faith bound the Medusa Snake Demon and Rising Lizard together tightly to the point that Rising Lizard could take the Medusa Snake Demon’s life with one thought.

The faith was also fortified with Rising Lizard’s power.

Lin Yuan craved this mysterious power.

He had just stepped into the marsh world and did not have the answers to his many queries.

However, he also had no one to ask. Hence, he pushed his curiosity down.

Genius also used Connected Tails to learn Rising Lizard’s language.

Genius said to Lin Yuan in a child-like voice a moment later, “Yuan, I think Rising Lizard and the Medusa Snake Demon speak the same language. However, I can’t say for certain yet. I need to use Connected Tails to link my consciousness with the Medusa Snake Demon.

“While I’m learning Rising Lizard’s language, I’ll compare it with that of the Medusa Snake Demon to see if they’re the same. If they’re really the same, give me half an hour, and I’ll be able to communicate with Rising Lizard and the Medusa Snake Demon. Then, you can wear me on your face and speak to them using the marsh world language.”

Genius’ words were a pleasant surprise to Lin Yuan.

If he could learn the marsh world’s language early on while exploring it, it would make further exploration much easier.

Lin Yuan also had many things to ask the Medusa Snake Demon.

He wanted to contract the Snake Change Medusa and enable it to undergo a perfect Source-Type Cleansing.

Since the Snake Change Medusa was a Class 1 dimensional lifeform, it only needed 100 sets of source-type energy.

100 sets of source-type energy were peanuts to Lin Yuan.

He also wanted to see if a totem would also appear on the Snake Change Medusa after it experienced the complete Source-type Cleansing and became another Apostle.
