Chapter 1000: Chapter 829: Recruiting the Bat, Divine-level Devout Follower

Although Chun can keep his mouth and hands silent, he’s now considered a god and can make a big noise in the Divine Domain.

As the giant monster’s pursuit created a shocking sound, Chun decisively activated the advanced bat language "Master of Blood" within the Divine Domain.

With the resonance of Aileen’s radar, Chun indeed sensed a wave-like electric current passing down the vine, reaching the tip of the vine and erupting with a breath of shock.

The crystal bat licking blood on the ground suddenly froze and looked up at the vine tip.

Chun kept watching its reaction and suddenly felt happy—there was a response!

Taking advantage of the residual shock from the passing giant monster, Chun once again emitted the "Master of Blood" signal and, to reward its response, irrigated it with a large amount of demon blood.

The bat immediately absorbed the blood, emitting a hoarse ordinary call, with the newly learned "Master of Blood" mingled within!

Ha, is having blood enough to be the master?

Chun responded to its call and released another tube of blood down to it.

Then the other party kept asking for more, and Chun was more than willing to oblige—every call was rewarded with a tube of blood.

Eventually, Chun couldn’t even count how many times it called, so he didn’t care anymore and switched to faucet mode—everything he couldn’t drink, he let it drink, one vine couldn’t deliver enough, so he summoned ten vines to transfuse blood.

In half an hour, the whole sewer was like a small blood pool, and the crystal bat absorbed so much demon blood that it turned into blood-red crystal, until a flash of blood light, the entire bat became blurry, as if shrouded in blood mist.

——System Notification: You have received the devout worship of the Blood Crystal Lord, and you have acquired the Divine Domain Skill "Master of Blood".

Master of Blood: A devout incarnation of the Blood Crystal Lord has been born in your Divine Domain, which can command the Blood Crystal Lord’s actions through the incarnation. When the Divine Domain is activated, the incarnation can assist in battle.

——Yatnass 1.99Plus+ version notification: User has acquired highly devout Power of Faith, Divine Format reaching critical breakthrough stage.

...

Ah!?

A Divine Domain Skill named after the name I gave it? Devotion? I merely pumped it with some blood, has it really come to this?

Chun immediately checked his Divine Domain and suddenly found a bright little blood crystal bat, surrounded by a gathering blood-red mist—the Divine Domain now had another creature after the Cursed Crow!

The blood bat communicated directly in bat language: "Master!"

Chun asked, "Why are you so devout?"

"The master provided so much demon blood, the master defeated many sand demons! The master is so overwhelmingly powerful that I am devoted to following."

Ah? But if it knows the truth, that it wasn’t me who defeated them, will it immediately turn against me?

Chun clarified first: "I didn’t defeat the sand demons; I only took the opportunity to collect the blood they left behind."

The blood bat said, "Then the master is incredibly wise to seize opportunities, worthy of my devoted following."

Ha!?

Chun added, "This might be the only time you can drink so much blood, there may not be another chance."

The blood bat said, "I was asleep for a thousand years, waiting for this opportunity to be reborn. The master granted me new life, and I am devoted to following the master."

This answer made Chun truly pleased, what a boot-licking bat.

Chun asked again, "What are your capabilities?"

The blood bat responded, "Lord-level, equivalent to a beginner god."

Uh... only a beginner after a thousand years? Okay, maybe I’ve seen too many gods recently. Ordinary dragon race members can fight many rounds against a small Little Mao God, monster gods inherently possess strong attributes and special skills, definitely surpassing humans of the same level.

Chun confirmed: "If I directly issue commands to your incarnation, will your true form outside follow my orders?"

The blood bat said, "Yes, master, please give the command."

Chun issued the command: "I order you to investigate this sewer, see if there are any hidden rooms, treasure vaults, or wine cellars."

The blood bat: "Master, I can send you a terrain map of the sewer, but I lack the ability to discern hidden rooms."

Chun then remembered the key issue: "What are your capabilities?"

The blood bat: "Blood Mist Domain, Super Body Enhancement, Dual-band Radar, Death Shock Wave, Interface Transfer. The Blood Mist Domain and Super Body Enhancement give me powerful hunting abilities. Dual-band Radar detects at longer distances than ordinary bats and can discover invisible creatures at super long distances without being easily discovered. Death Shock Wave destroys the prey’s perception and disrupts various frequency sound waves on a wide scale. Interface Transfer allows me to enter the Undead Realm, leave this sewer, and follow the master. When the master thinks I shouldn’t appear, I can sleep in the Undead Realm, ready to respond to the master’s call."

Aileen was amazed: "Those are high-end skills that neither Bilenna nor any of the crystal bats over there possess!"

Ah, indeed, as a beginner god, a leader must lead those who join afterward! Even if it goes astray later, at least while it’s still loyal now, it should help train others up.

Chun further asked, "Can you impart skills to other bats?"

The blood bat: "As a Lord-level entity, I inherently possess skill-teaching capabilities, but whether it can be learned depends on the individual’s effort and wisdom."

Ah, no doubt, the Void Queen is also Lord-level, inherently teaching skills to its offspring.

Chun asked again, "Can I arrange for your true form to explore the sewer and have your incarnation teach skills elsewhere at the same time, can you do it?"

The blood bat was genuinely taken aback: "Never encountered this situation before, but I will learn to adapt."

Holy shit! This high emotional intelligence working bat knows how to respond! If a boss asks an employee something, if the employee can’t do it, they shouldn’t directly say they can’t, but should answer that they’ll learn as they do it, at least making the boss comfortable with the response.

Chun indeed felt comforted hearing that: "Then let’s start with you doing these two tasks."

Aileen urgently said: "Covered in blood mist, don’t come to my estate, I’ll just use a Divine Mirror to shine a beam on you."

As he spoke, surely a beam of Mirror Light shot from the seabed into Chun’s dark forest and was also directed onto the blood bat’s similarly reflective body.

Can’t deny, with previous experience with the crystal bats as a foundation, Aileen indeed handles this enhanced version skillfully.

The blood bat said, "Master, to ensure task completion, I’ll pause other conversations now."

Chun felt even more gratified: "Good, the master won’t disturb you either."

Chun had a few questions and went to the underwater estate to consult Liya: "Goddess, does a more devout follower form an incarnation within the god’s domain?"

Liya sighed: "Ordinary mortals won’t, lacking that ability, only those who reach the Sage Level or basically Divine-level believers can form an incarnation. With this Divine-level follower, you’ve gained the equivalent of an entire church’s followers, so advancing to Middle Tier god no longer seems distant."

Ah, I see!

Chun also reassured: "The goddess also received the previous Guardian God of Holy Emerald City, which will also lead to rapid development."

Liya laughed: "If aiming for rapid growth, I’d just become your devout follower."

Chun’s heart skipped wildly: "Could that really work?"

Liya laughed: "I’d like that too, but devoutness doesn’t come easily, what should I do?"

Uh... similar to how a wife might frequently criticize her husband, showing no devoutness?
