He could only vaguely feel that this Holy Light Baptism could probably increase the combat power of all believers by about a hundred thousand.

No matter if it's a hundred thousand combat power or not, as long as the baptism can increase combat power, it's definitely a good thing.

The only pity is that this baptism can only be performed once a month!

At this time, Jin Zhongshuo spoke again: "Holy Father, even if it's once a month, it's really very good!"

Teresa also said: "Indeed! After the baptism, each of us can increase our combat power by a hundred thousand. The second round of the competition is about to end, and our Celestial Divine Country is about to become the Sixth Division, the new mysterious force."

"If this development continues, we might be able to surpass that Celestial Court!"

As soon as the Celestial Court was mentioned, Matthew felt a bit unhappy!

Jin Zhongshuo even expressed his disdain: "Damn it~! That Celestial Court actually managed to forge a Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact, aiming to become a Heaven-Suppressing Force. When did the Hua Country People get so lucky?"

Matthew also said: "The Celestial Court is only lucky for the moment! They don't have a divine object like The Bible. I estimate that Wang Teng must have relied on luck and unsavory means to obtain the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact!"

Mentioning the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact, Matthew's tone became sour and extremely dissatisfied.

It should be known, ever since he unlocked the seal on The Bible and obtained this Low-grade Divine-tier Peak Divine Object, he thought of himself as the chosen one.

This was something he brought from his own world, not acquired in this world.

He simply could not believe that Wang Teng had such a great opportunity!

Teresa shook her head and said: "I almost forgot, Wang Teng's luck is indeed extraordinary, with the Celestial Court becoming a Heaven-Suppressing Force, their rewards will be ten times richer than ours!"

After hearing this, both Matthew and Jin Zhongshuo felt a bit uncomfortable.

Subsequently, Matthew sneered: "Dear Teresa, just because someone congregates a Heaven-Suppressing Force, doesn't mean they can become one."

"Who can guarantee that Wang Teng can keep that Heaven-Suppressing Divine Artifact? Perhaps, his divine artifact has already been snatched away by other forces!"

Jin Zhongshuo also smiled in agreement: "Holy Father, you are absolutely right! Wang Teng may have already lost his divine artifact and is crying right now!"

As soon as these words fell, the people in the arena showed schadenfreude smiles!

Just as the few of them were complacently laughing, a mutation occurred in the altar ahead!

"Buzz~!"

A clear sound resonating throughout heaven and earth!

Just saw the altar stop operating!

The Bible at the altar's center emitted a dazzling and holy white light, resonating intensely!

Matthew rejoiced: "Oh~! Wonderful! The Bible has been fully charged, and soon we can perform the Holy Light Baptism!"

As these words fell, the people in the arena showed joy and were excited one after another!

Soon after, Matthew looked towards everyone.

"Dear believers, the Holy Light Baptism is about to begin! However, to receive the baptism, you must first offer a drop of your own Essence Blood to The Bible, only then can you receive the Bible's baptism!"

Upon hearing this, everyone responded one after another!

"Holy Father! I am willing to offer my all!"

"Holy Father! I can't wait any longer!"

At this moment, emotions ran high, as everyone was eager to receive the Holy Light Baptism!

Matthew loved the current atmosphere!

He smiled smugly: "Dear believers, do not rush! Even the Holy Father has to accept the Holy Light Baptism, I will offer my Essence Blood first!"

As soon as these words fell, he stepped onto the altar first.

It turns out, Matthew himself could accept the Holy Light Baptism.

The one actually performing the Holy Light Baptism was The Bible.

In just a moment, Matthew walked to The Bible, pricked his finger to condense blood, and dropped it onto the ancient Bible.

"Plunk~!"

The Essence Blood fell onto the book surface!

"Sizzle~!"

In the next second, his Essence Blood was absorbed completely by the Bible at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Matthew smiled.

"Eh? What is this..."

But in the next second, he clearly felt that his drop of Essence Blood seeped into The Bible, flowing towards a hidden second seal.

Soon, his Essence Blood effortlessly seeped into the second seal, disappearing!

"Buzz~!"

At this moment, a strange vibration occurred deep in his soul, and a mystical voice echoed in his mind.

[My beloved follower! You have signed a Master-Servant Contract with me, the great One! From now on, you are my most faithful believer and my most loyal servant, and I am your only True Lord!]

"Bang~!"

Upon hearing this, Matthew's whole body trembled, somewhat dumbfounded!

He voluntarily offered his Essence Blood, only to unintentionally become someone else's slave!

This Holy Light Baptism, why does it feel more like a trap?!

But the contract was already signed, and he inexplicably held boundless reverence for The Bible!

To be precise, he held boundless reverence for the mysterious entity hidden within the second seal of The Bible.

"Oh~! My Lord!"

Matthew closed his eyes in silent distress.

"Dear Holy Father, how is your ceremony going?"

At this time, Teresa's voice came from below the altar.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at her.

"Dear Teresa, come up! Offer your Essence Blood to the Lord!"

Teresa was overjoyed: "Oh~! Thank you! Praise you! Holy Father!"

She joyfully approached the altar, directly pricked her finger to condense blood, and dropped it onto The Bible.

Matthew watched quietly from the side.

"Buzz~!"

In the next moment, The Bible absorbed the Essence Blood completely, emitting a faint red light.

Teresa suddenly felt a jolt in her chest, a trace of astonishment showed in her eyes.

She then closed her eyes, folded her hands, and worshipped The Bible with utmost sincerity.

"Thank God! Thank the Lord!"

After saying these words, Teresa stepped back reverently.

"Next!"

Matthew looked expressionlessly at the bottom of the altar.

Jin Zhongshuo eagerly came forward to start offering Essence Blood...

Thus, the people of Celestial Divine Country approached the altar one by one, offering their Essence Blood to the mysterious Bible...

...

First Division, Suspended Island.

Time flies quickly!

In the blink of an eye, there's only half an hour left until the end of the second round of competition, everything is coming to a close!

And at this moment, above Suspended Island.

1024 fission bodies of Wang Teng opened their eyes one after another, their faces full of joy.

He had finally refined over three thousand Tier Nine Spirit Pills, and the effect exceeded his expectations...
