Lin Nuo looked down at Ye Guyi with a sharp gaze and finally concluded that this woman might not be quite sober.
"Forget it, it's still several years before I become a god, let's take it slow." Lin Nuo looked away.
He didn't want to end up like Huo Yuhao, who created a half-baked Spirit Pagoda, then ascended to godhood and abandoned everything, causing the power he created to not only betray his original intentions but also go against the original mission of the Heavenly Gang.
According to the original story, after unifying the Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Empire will establish the Sun Moon Federation, completely abandoning the feudal imperial system.
Therefore, the Spirit Hall rebuilt by Lin Nuo can never become the Spirit Hall of ten thousand years ago. That would be equivalent to the supreme ruler of the continent, and such a way of operating is not suitable for the future era.
In his vision, the Spirit Hall he established should ideally resemble Taoism from his previous life.
Achieving that level of influence in Douluo Continent isn't actually difficult. Take Tang San as an example: a force supported by a god has an extremely high level of faith in that god. As long as Lin Nuo leaves behind something similar to Seagod Island from ten thousand years ago to maintain his presence, the believers attached to Lin Nuo's forces will steadfastly fulfill the precepts set by Lin Nuo.
The situation with the Spirit Pagoda is just normal. Without divine suppression, the greed of Soul Masters will only make them see Soul Beasts as resources, not collaborators.
If Huo Yuhao had left behind an Emotional Temple at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the soul beasts of Douluo Continent wouldn't have suffered so much.
Restraining power is both incredibly difficult and incredibly easy.
The difficulty lies in the uncontrollable nature of human nature; self-interest can blind most people, and a lack of regulation will only allow greed to grow infinitely.
However, if there were an absolutely powerful being pressing down on everyone, deterring those with impure intentions, and supplemented by a little bit of divine miracles, all problems would be easily solved.
This is a bit troublesome, but in order to see Prison Soul again, Lin Nuo has no choice but to put in some effort.
Consider it paying for your own sentimentality, right?
Who told him he didn't travel back ten thousand years?
Lin Nuo and Ye Guyi were both lost in their own thoughts, standing silently in the courtyard. This slightly awkward atmosphere did not last long. Light footsteps soon broke the silence in the courtyard, and Nana and the others, who had said their final goodbyes to the souls of their relatives and friends, came out of the secret room one after another.
She was walking at the front, holding a black stick in her hand.
Led by Nana, a group of seven or eight people knelt in a row in front of Lin Nuo and bowed their heads to him.
"Thank you, Master, for giving us a new life and rescuing our loved ones. We swear with our lives that we will be loyal to you from this day forward—" Nana and the others said in unison, one hand on their chest.
Nana, who was in charge, snapped the flagpole of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, which was carved with a skull, in half with a crack.
After the purifying fire fell on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the banner that imprisoned the vengeful spirits was burned to ashes, leaving only the flagpole. Now, it is used by Nana and the others as a declaration of loyalty, representing that they have no connection with the past.
"Very good, get up, all of you." Lin Nuo nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, Master." After they got up, they walked to Lin Nuo's side and stood in a row in an orderly manner, like the most loyal soldiers.
"And you, where are you planning to go next?" Lin Nuo asked Ye Guyi.
"I will fulfill my mission and slaughter all evil spirit masters in the world." Ye Guyi clenched her fist and said firmly, "I can sense that there is more than one branch of the Holy Spirit Cult in Mingdu. There are other rats hiding in the dark corners. I will go and drag them all out, and burn them to ashes one by one with holy flames!"
When it comes to eradicating evil and upholding justice, Ye Guyi is serious!
Encountering Lin Nuo during the elimination of the Holy Spirit Cult's branch altar was just an interlude. Ye Guyi was indeed very curious about him, but killing all the evil soul masters was her eternal goal.
Lin Nuo was not surprised by Ye Guyi's answer; it sounded like something she would say. He then delivered the words he had prepared long ago.
"You're right. This is just a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult. As far as I know, there are at least five more such branch cults in Mingdu, and each of them is no weaker than this one," Lin Nuo nodded and said.
In reality, Mingdu in the original novel had at least ten branch altars, but that was only after Xu Tianran and Zhongli Wu cooperated to expand the scale. In this world, the Holy Spirit Cult's branch altars in Mingdu are not as many as in the original novel.
However, this is already quite shocking. Mingdu alone has at least five branch altars. If we broaden our perspective to the entire continent, the scale of the Holy Spirit Cult will only be larger than we imagine.
No wonder this organization is so difficult to eradicate. It's not just that there are endless evil soul masters, but more importantly, the organization's roots are too deep in the Douluo Continent.
Even if you wanted to eliminate them completely, you couldn't; Shrek Academy doesn't have that ability, you know that, right?
Ye Guyi clearly recognized the terrifying nature of the Holy Spirit Cult. This force was like an iceberg hidden beneath the surface of the sea; ordinary people simply could not imagine how powerful it was.
But another question followed. After hesitating for a moment, Ye Guyi spoke again: "Since you know that there is a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult in Mingdu, why don't you find them and eliminate them? Branches in other parts of the continent are hard to find, but the branch within Mingdu shouldn't be anything to you, right?"
Although asking this question might seem a bit like moral blackmail, Ye Guyi couldn't suppress her curiosity.
"Why do you think you're able to stand here so calmly right now?" Lin Nuo smiled mysteriously.
"?" Ye Guyi paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, but couldn't quite put her finger on it when she tried to think about it.
"If I'm not mistaken, your life before this must have been anything but peaceful, right? You even had a family before, didn't you?" Lin Nuo's light words were like a thunderclap to Ye Guyi's ears.
"With the Holy Angel martial soul, how could the Holy Spirit Cult let you go? I guess your family was most likely destroyed by evil soul masters. Having survived by chance, you will inevitably face the relentless pursuit of evil soul masters throughout your life."
"Your hatred for evil spirit masters must stem not only from your own martial spirit, but also from the hatred in your heart, right?"
Lin Nuo looked at Ye Guyi with a smile: "What do you think Mingdu is? I can tell you with certainty that just a year ago, there were at least three evil soul master titled Douluo around Mingdu, and there were more than ten evil soul master titled Douluo within the Sun Moon Empire. About a third of them were Super Douluo, and there were even two peak experts who reached level ninety-nine."
Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi immediately felt as if she had stumbled into a pack of wolves.
