I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Oh no! We've been discovered!

Neil was utterly shocked.

He certainly wouldn't reveal the existence of the Serpent, even if it were a demon, so what? His hope for revenge lay entirely with it.

He had even sworn an oath.

He dedicated his life and soul to it, intending to serve for his entire lifetime.

Just as Neil's mind was racing with numerous thoughts, unsure of how to respond.

Uncle Miller briskly walked over and said in a deep voice:

"Pastor Jordan, Neil recently contracted an illness, his throat is hoarse and he cannot speak... As for demons? Could it be that there was a problem during the blessing process?"

Pastor Jordan turned his head and gave Miller a meaningful glance.

Then said pointedly:

"There were no issues with the blessing and testing process, but demons are everywhere... The Bible Redemption Ring, Volume Two, Chapter Three, once said, 'The diseased human heart is worse than demons, it is human devil.'"

Ignoring Miller's gradually darkening expression, Pastor Jordan withdrew his gaze, focusing once more on Neil, and said softly:

"Your father, Baron Birch, in his life, was a pious believer of redemption, donating funds every cold season and entrusting me to aid those hopeless subjects and even vagabonds... He was a fine lord."

The old pastor sighed, then patted Neil's shoulder.

"I can make the decision for you to become an 'apprentice monk,' study doctrine, hymns, rituals, and sign language with me in the church. Although it may be boring to you, it can help you escape the interference of demons under the protection of the Lord, how about it?"

Neil stared blankly.

Even if he were foolish, he could understand at this moment that Pastor Jordan's "demon" was not referring to the Serpent possessing him, but his Uncle Miller!

Because of past deeds of his father, the old pastor had developed empathy and intended to protect him from his uncle's vile schemes...

Neil's eyes flickered.

He was quite grateful to Pastor Jordan.

He knew very well that if he nodded, he could temporarily escape the surveillance and confinement of Uncle Miller and the entire Dutte family, and seek refuge in the Redemption Church.

Once upon a time, he might have been moved.

But now, Neil had no such thoughts.

Because he wanted revenge!

And for revenge, he must first grasp information; staying by Fork's side was the best choice for him...

If he hid in the Redemption Church, then many things would not be convenient.

As he maintained his silence, he suddenly noticed that Uncle Miller was staring at him coldly.

And behind Pastor Jordan.

The eldest son Kru wore a sullen face, while the second son Fork mouthed threatening words with a sinister expression.

After a long pause.

Neil shook his head, gently rejecting the old pastor's kindness.

Miller's eyes flashed with relief, then regret, and he said softly:

"Sorry, Pastor Jordan, my nephew's aspirations are elsewhere, he has always wanted to become a brave knight, even a wise lord, like my brother Bocchi Lucius."

"If that's the case, then we won't insist."

Pastor Jordan sighed and turned towards the church with the Bible in hand.

Miller watched his back, a smile appearing on his lips.

He turned his head and scrutinized Neil for a moment before saying deeply:

"You've made a wise choice, Neil."

Neil pretended to be mute, only lowering his head, not speaking.

Yet, hidden from his uncle's view, his eyes were filled with intense joy and anticipation.

For in his mind had appeared a set of advanced and exquisite "Knight Swordsmanship," and a piece of mysterious knowledge named "Dancer."

"I have seen your determination, young man. This is your reward... Seize the opportunity, for in a month, your uncle will undoubtedly try everything to see you die on the battlefield."

The calm voice of the Serpent rang from within his heart.

Neil was inexplicably grateful, quickly replying:

"Thank you for your gift, I will not let you down."

Chen Lun ignored him.

He himself also wanted a good look at this extraordinary path from the "Azure Holy Flame," to see what was truly distinctive about it.

And Neil was indeed a most suitable subject for observation.

Chen Lun temporarily divided his consciousness into two parts.

A small portion remained with Neil, while the majority shifted back to the Sun Continent.

His body had already turned into the intangible for the Nameless ceremony.

After silently overlooking observations in the Old Spirit Realm for a moment, he suddenly discovered that the time here was not consistent with the time flow on the Outer Continent!

Even though he had stayed on Neil for an entire day, only a few hours seemed to have passed here.

It appeared to be four to five times slower!

This inevitably led Chen Lun to think about players.

Their time flow in reality was not consistent with the "game"... To be precise, the flow of time between the Azure World and Anita World was different; except during version updates where it reached an astonishing thirty to one ratio, it usually remained constant at five to one.

The exact reason, Chen Lun was not yet aware.

But he faintly suspected that it might be related to old outer gods.

'The reality and the Outer Continent are both influenced by the "Azure Holy Flame," could it be its power at work...'

Chen Lun speculated silently.

Then, he glanced at the changes in the Old Spirit Realm; half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and Cat Town had expanded several times in size, even the population had increased.

The Dawn Church stood tall in the center.

Looking at the statues of himself and the other angels, Chen Lun was filled with emotion.

He also noticed, in the depths of the desert in the Nameless City, many households had been added, and the number of male residents had reached tens of thousands, although still too few compared to the millions of "Descendants of Darkness" women, but it was a very good start.
