I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 206 : 187. Black Moon Goddess

The Judgment Chief spoke at length, as if addressing a corporate leader, but Xia Feng automatically extracted the key points.

Essentially, after the Black Moon Goddess awakens, she will descend a Heavenly Stone Embryo, so the main purpose of opening the Miracle Star River is actually for the two great Churches to fairly compete over this thing called the Heavenly Stone Embryo.

It is said that the Heavenly Stone Embryo is the foundational material for ascending to the Fifth Rank, and it also possesses a terrifying efficacy in healing all things spiritual, like if a spiritual divine flower were damaged and withered, using it could restore the flower.

Understanding this, Xia Feng subconsciously thought of the Evil Demon Heart and wondered if the Heavenly Stone Embryo could heal his own heart. His heart had only repaired a little over 1% and had awakened two Demon Power abilities, with a long way to go to reach the next phase of 10%.

Since the Heavenly Stone Embryo was so miraculous, it might indeed be effective for the Evil Demon Heart, Xia Feng hoped in his heart.

Soon, everyone began to step forward one by one for the baptismal ritual,

well, to put it simply, it was like selecting a preferred Church Court to join during college application process, and if no one wanted you, there was no need to continue participating in what followed.

Mushroom chose the Black Moon Church, but embarrassingly, the Church readily refused her application,

Archbishop Lola noticed Mushroom's awkwardness and said nothing, her gaze calm and casually lifting the Elemental Wand, she levitated Mushroom and tossed her into the ranks of the Elemental Church.

Zorav, the Judgment Chief, glanced dismissively at this old woman beside him and shook his head in silence. He had long heard that Miss Lola was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, always fond of extending meaningless kindness.

Amid his thoughts, Zorav didn't say much, joining Lola in raising their scepters. Two blazing beams of golden light instantly surged into the Five Elements Luminous Stone array at the apex of the ceiling.

Hum— Hum—

Two colorful waves of light burst forth in an instant, whipping up gusts and streams of light within the central hall, causing visible distortion in the entire space.

The 150 Yao Stones embedded in the ceiling cracked and flew towards the nearly thousand participants below.

Xia Feng's gaze closely followed 30 Water Bright Stones, observing who they landed on.

Quickly, he saw a Water Bright Stone descend above the head of a tall woman wearing a lavish dress.

This woman seemed to be called Ito Mei, with very high water and dark attributes. According to the chitchat he overheard, Ito Mei had been a nun in the Black Moon Church for 10 years and had always been a Holy Daughter candidate, sharing a very good relationship with the Judgment Chief Zorav, arguably the most likely candidate to become the next backup Holy Daughter.

As the Luminous Stones fell, surprised exclamations arose from the crowd; everyone instinctively turned to look.

They saw that above Mushroom, who stood in a corner, there were actually five Luminous Stones rapidly circling, casting colorful light.

"All attributes affinity?" Zorav exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes laced with incredulity as he stared at Li Hongdou, chosen by the Five Elements Luminous Stones.

Everything happened so suddenly. Hearing Zorav's words, the crowd was jolted back to reality and stared intently and complicatedly at the girl in the corner.

"How is this possible?!"

Next to Ito Mei, Mi Qi's eyes widened, completely unable to understand. Wasn't this princess a waste just yesterday? What exactly happened in between?

Everyone present felt it absurd but also understood; no wonder Li Hongdou dared to come today, and the genius Xia Feng came with her. It turns out she was playing possum—was the genius's friend also a genius?

Upon witnessing this scene, Ito Mei's eyes narrowed slightly, as she quietly watched Mushroom from afar, her lips curving into a slightly eerie smile, "How interesting."

Mushroom, feeling the unending shocked gazes directed at her, blushed slightly and almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, she was professional and forcefully held it back.

Was this the feeling of showing off... She started to like this feeling, this being her first time receiving such shocked attention—it felt very special.

Archbishop Lola had not expected such a scenario either; her eyes showed slight surprise, and then with great interest, she glanced at Zorav beside her, a smile surfacing on her austere and aged face: "Judgment Chief, thank you for your generosity."

"..." Zorav's gaze was indifferent, but the slight twitch of his eyelid and his somewhat gloomy complexion betrayed the turbulence within his heart.

Although he did not yet know the affinity for the special attributes of light and darkness, an affinity for all five elements was enough to mark an extraordinary talent. Yet, he had just personally rejected such a person.

Damn the gods, did all these heaven-defying geniuses like to play the fool to catch the wise these days? Zorav shook his head and sighed heavily.

But it was just as well; only the living could be called geniuses. It was questionable whether Li Hongdou could even survive the Miracle Star River, so let her join the Elemental Church if she would.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

The waves of light surged within the hall. Amidst the shocked and envious gazes of all present, Mushroom reached out to grab five Shining Stones, her figure instantly transforming into a beam of starlight, drifting toward the resplendent Star River above.

Soon after, the other hundred or so individuals recognized by the Shining Stones likewise turned into beams of starlight and floated toward the Star River.

Under the influence of the Spiritual Artifact, Xia Feng and Mushroom—as well as Yue Hongli—were united, allowing them to be transported together by the Shining Stones.

The process of entering the Miracle Star River felt somewhat like traveling through time and space, as countless streams of stars rapidly receded around them.

"Xia Feng, does this mean I've joined the Elemental Church? But I remember the Elemental Church doesn't have a branch in Zone 51, does it?" Mushroom voiced her concern, coming back to her senses after the thrill of acting cool.

"No problem, in fact, compared to the Black Moon, the Elemental is actually the better choice."

Xia Feng's voice resounded within her heart, "According to the information I've obtained, due to the Black Moon Goddess being corrupted, the internal state of the Black Moon Church is very chaotic. I'm not familiar with the Elemental Church, but that Miss Lola seemed nice. With your talent, she'll definitely treat you well, so remember to cling to her coattails..."

"Feng, what I mean is, without a branch in Zone 51, won't I have to leave Zone 51? I, I don't want to leave this place..."

"Actually, I'm going to be leaving in a few days myself."

"Oh. Ah?" Mushroom was taken aback.

Xia Feng had been planning to take Mushroom and run away; after all, Mushroom had no more relatives left in Zone 51, and her only stepmother was also by his side.

They might as well seize this opportunity for a spur-of-the-moment global adventure for the three of them.

But now, faced with the choice of the Holy Daughter, and Mushroom being very likely to become the Elemental Saintess, letting Mushroom enter the Elemental Church was clearly the better choice. After all, Mushroom's 'Elemental Mushroom Body' was a match made in heaven with the Elemental Church, and coupled with the vast resources the Holy Daughter had access to, Mushroom might truly be able to change her fate against the odds.

In a flash—

Just as Mushroom was about to continue asking questions, the scenery around her changed abruptly, and she found herself in an incredibly dreamlike place.

Numerous rivers composed of star fragments flowed gently towards the unknown expanse of space ahead, yet standing on them felt as though she were on solid ground. Mushroom looked around.

All around her were endless Star Rivers without bounds. Looking downward, she saw multiple streams glittering with starlight and could just make out a few figures suddenly emerging within them.

"Spiritual Clothes can no longer be used," Xia Feng quickly detected something unusual with his Spiritual Pressure.

Mushroom nodded, "According to the introduction, the Spiritual Pressure of Spirit Masters will be suppressed to the lowest level within the Miracle Star River. Here you can only use Spiritual Artifacts for combat, or rely on physical strength."

Oh? Such a perfect place? Xia Feng was slightly pleased—he enjoyed fair battlegrounds where one could only rely on Spiritual Artifacts and physical strength!

"Hm? Wait a minute....." Mushroom exclaimed in surprise with a tremble in her voice, "Xia Feng, look, what is that!"

The moment Mushroom saw it, Xia Feng had also laid eyes on it.

As the Star Mist dissipated, he saw a woman seated cross-legged at the end of the many Star Rivers. Her stature was majestic like a hazy, distant mountain, her face filled with divine light, sitting with the dignity and grandeur of the heavens and earth, and behind her divine form, the dark gold crescent moon suspended enhanced her mysterious and unfathomable aura.

But what astonished Xia Feng even more was that he sensed a large amount of Holy Liquid covering the surface of this divine entity!
