Before the transaction began, Lin Rui couldn’t help pondering a matter: what kind of person would worship a cold, ruthless, and savage Divine Spirit like Yurik?

He quickly got his answer when Zhongli had just arrived at the Altar of All Heavens, as an Explorer appeared outside clamoring to see Lin Rui.

The patrolling guards approached Lin Rui and reported respectfully, "Lord, the Explorer outside says he has a divine oracle from Yurik, and that the Wolf God has commanded him to deliver the message to you."

Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Trading with Divine Spirits from this world has its conveniences, huh? Bring him here."

Soon, a robust Explorer was brought before Lin Rui. He was tall, with thick facial hair, tattoos of a skull and battle axe on his left arm, his arms appeared horse-like thick while his face was flushed and his neck was wide, presenting a classic red-neck image.

In an instant, Lin Rui understood what type of follower would believe in Yurik: those who acted without thinking, reckless and abstract beings.

You could never judge them by common sense, yet they always showcased some form of behavioral art that made you realize the abstraction of awe.

Lin Rui helplessly pressed his fingers against his forehead and asked, "You know that I’m the Divine Champion of the Goddess of Fortune, right?"

This red-neck immediately nodded, oblivious to the gravity of the situation, boldly saying, "Of course, who in the Golden Pansy Domain doesn’t know? That little lady, Goddess of Fortune, favors you quite a bit."

"Then dare you still appear before me?" Lin Rui took a breath and inquired, "You rebel and cultist, aren’t you afraid that I’d burn you at the stake?"

At this point in time, anyone before Lin Rui could only be a citizen of the Golden Pansy Domain.

The Golden Pansy Domain now spans a vast area, and with Aerial Cavalry patrolling the skies, if Yurik’s adherents were from outside the domain, there’s no way they could quickly arrive with Yurik’s divine oracle.

Thus, this red-neck could only be from the Golden Pansy Domain.

And both the Golden Pansy Domain and its hundreds of subsidiary Feudal Domains were required to worship the Goddess of Fortune!

Faith is exclusive, aside from the East, and one cannot worship Buddha and supplicate gods.

Which means faith is singular here, and failure to believe in the Goddess of Fortune in the domain makes one a cultist—one who betrays the domain!

Secretly betraying the domain to worship external Divine Spirits may be forgivable.

After all, which domain doesn’t have some underground cultists?

Divine Spirits inevitably meddle, undermining each other, which is normal.

Especially among the Order Gods, without conflict, they manufacture troubles themselves, sabotaging one another.

Simple-minded ones like this red-neck attracted by Yurik’s teachings is truly not a big deal.

Once, youthful Lin Rui found wielding an axe, mindlessly slashing, utterly thrilling. While gaming, he preferred Knights and Warriors for their straightforward operations and high close combat strength. Pure thrill was the criterion.

But the problem remained: a traitor of the Goddess appearing openly before Lin Rui, the Divine Champion, was truly excessive! Close-range confrontation, huh?

Upon Lin Rui’s speech, even the red-neck hesitantly retreated, nervously claiming, "Is there a possibility... maybe I’m a traveling mercantile escort from abroad? Can’t a Wolf God-worshipping Warrior journey to your domain?"

Lin Rui glared, "How do you explain your Attribute Panel showing affiliations to the Feudal Domain of Sunshine Kindergarten Town!"

Sunshine Kindergarten Town, Lin Rui had seen it once and never forgot—it was Dongg Qingxue’s daughter’s domain.

This woman is engaging more flamboyantly; previously, she had goblins, now a host of tough men.

What’s she aiming for?

This red-neck realized he couldn’t bluff further, cautiously gripping the battle axe behind him.

Observing his discreet movements, Lin Rui was truly amazed by their abstract exhibition; what’s he intending?

Surely he doesn’t mean harm towards me? Perhaps intending to charge out in bloodshed?

Yurik’s teachings are so reckless? When in doubt, fight bravely, slash a solution?

Even the guards beside were astounded; why clutch an axe?

As an elite-level Tier Three Explorer, could you stir chaos amid this legendary-level assembly in the hall?

Over twenty Super-Tier Legendary-level guards stood, anyone careless would fling you afar!

Lin Rui sighed, advised, "Forget it, stop your antics; I, an Easterner, pay little heed to faith. But I am curious about you—what compels belief in Yurik’s harsh, unkind Divine Spirit; what can he offer you?"

Inevitably, as for disloyalty, Lin Rui, the divine Champion was undoubtedly the most disloyal within the domain.

Much treachery he committed without saying disregard of divine thoughts.

Engaging the Goddess of Fortune face-to-face brought no particular reverence.

His upbringing was such—clasping hands before Daoist Gods, bowing to Buddha, burning incense for the Almighty, nothing foolish seemed beyond him.

In crisis, praying to all gods, after resolving it, "What gods? That was my skill doing!"
