Chapter 5094 Scamming People
Just because they walked a path and crossed a bridge, they named it after themselves? Just how shameless did a person have to be to do such a thing?
Then, once Long Chen became a G.o.d, would everywhere he had gone have to carry his name? What nonsense.
At this moment, Han Qianye was still telling his story. During the battle of primal chaos, the Brahma Pill Valley had been guarding the Heavenly Flame Sacred Domain when devil creatures invaded them, and it was only with Lord Brahma’s supreme power that they managed to seal the Heavenly Flame Sacred Domain.
However, terrifying existences on the side of the devil creatures managed to break this seal, resulting in two openings into the Heavenly Flame Sacred Domain: one in the Glacial Heaven Domain and the other in a land controlled by the devil creatures.
The invasion of devil qi had corrupted the sacred land, allowing the devil creatures to occupy most of the outer regions. As a result, to reach the core, they would need to pa.s.s through the blockade of devil creatures.
Hearing this, people were shocked. They had not been warned of such a thing. According to Han Qianye, the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain was enormous. The core region was as big as the Glacial Heaven Domain, and the outer region was unimaginably vast.
Once they got in, if the outer region was packed with devil creatures, they would all be killed if they couldn’t break through the blockade.
Furthermore, the mightier devil creatures were on par with Heavenly Chosens. If they were unlucky, they might encounter three-vein Heaven Saints or even stronger devil creatures.
At this moment, many people’s hearts sank. Long Chen sneered, “Hurry up and get to the but.”
As expected, after explaining how terrifying the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain was, Han Qianye said, “Although the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain is filled with danger, I trust everyone knows just how important the baptism of Heavenly Flames is. Our Brahma Pill Valley has a channel that can send people directly into the central area of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. Although it will still take half a day to reach the core region from there, it’s much better than starting from the outer region. Even at maximum speed, it takes three days to reach the core from the outer region.”
“What’s the condition of using this channel?!” shouted Long Chen.
Everyone jumped in terror when Long Chen shouted. Who dared to interrupt the speech of a Human Emperor? Was he tired of living?
However, Han Qianye didn’t get angry. He just looked at Long Chen and said, “Correct, there is a condition to using this channel. This channel was established by the Divine Venerate and is covered by his divine light. As a result, only followers of Lord Brahma with his divine faith can pa.s.s through it.”
“Then if I want to use it now, can I still make it?” asked Long Chen.
Bai Yingxue jumped in fright, unable to believe her ears. Just what was Long Chen doing? Had he gone crazy?
Shaking his head, Han Qianye replied, “I’m sorry to say that it’s too late for you. Even though you revered the two Divine Venerates when you came, I cannot sense the slightest divine energy fluctuation from you. In other words, you are not a believer of the Divine Venerate. However, just because you can’t doesn’t mean that others can’t. Many among all of you possess destiny with the Divine Venerate, and I can sense the divine energy fluctuations from you. Perhaps you will be able to enter the channel and directly arrive at the heart of the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain. However, this is just a possibility, not a certainty. Whether or not it is possible depends on your own luck. Alright, I’ve said everything that needs to be said.”
Han Qianye then slowly formed a hand seal, and the two divine statues lit up, revealing a spatial gate between them. The next moment, specks of divine light appeared on countless people in the plaza.
“I... I can enter the channel?” These people were all excited to see this light.
Han Qianye said, “Those with divine light can come to the front of the channel. You have either prostrated yourselves to the Divine Venerate or hold faith in the Divine Venerate in your heart. Lord Brahma’s favor has naturally blessed you. However, if you are not sincere, you still might not be able to enter the channel. Everything depends on you.”
Twelve elders walked out as he said this. Shockingly, all of them were three-vein Heaven Saints. They split into two lines, six on each side, standing beside the channel to direct those with divine light s.h.i.+ning on their bodies to line up.
Seeing this scene, Long Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips. As expected, it was a scam. They had gone to great lengths to recruit more followers. The ones with divine light s.h.i.+ning on them were those who had consumed pills containing faith energy.
When these experts entered the range of these divine statues, the faith energy in them was triggered, making them feel the urge to wors.h.i.+p the statues.
Some of them had firm convictions and managed to resist the bewitchment, but even they felt the pull. After all, this was something critical to their lives.
Long Chen watched as countless people eagerly ran forward to line up, a sneer curling on his lips. This channel was a carefully orchestrated scheme by the Brahma Pill Valley to recruit followers. What was this nonsense about sincerity? Anyone could enter this channel. The Brahma Pill Valley only wanted to create a sense of exclusivity and superiority, making some feel privileged while others watched enviously.
Before long, tens of millions of experts had lined up in front of the spatial channel, while the rest simply watched. Despite the ma.s.sive crowd, there was still a big s.p.a.ce left, so Bai Yingxue asked what that was for. Long Chen explained that this was part of their scam.
Long Chen said, “They’re deliberately making it seem like believers are superior to ordinary people. Soon, the disciples of Pill Valley will also appear, and this channel is primarily for them. They’re conveying the message that devout disciples are above believers, and believers are above ordinary people. The closer you are to Pill Valley, the more benefits you’ll supposedly receive. With the presence of these two divine statues and a Domain Lord Human Emperor, people’s hearts are easily swayed. Old fellows have been scammed so many times in their lives that it’s harder to scam them, but it’s easier to trick youngsters. That’s why they didn’t permit the senior experts to come here. The excuse about s.p.a.ce constraints and maintaining order is just a facade. They just want to maximize the effectiveness of their scam.”
As quite a skilled conman, Long Chen had seen these kinds of plays many times. While it was a common plot, many experts would still fall for it.
Long Chen had just spoken when the void quivered.
“You’re right.” Bai Yingxue saw a group of figures appear and couldn’t help sighing. It was precisely a group of young disciples wearing the robes of Pill Valley.
