Hell's Handbook-Chapter 422

Su Jin’s body glowed silver all over, then he flew up rapidly and took Li Yi with him toward the moon in the sky.

The moon wasn’t as high up as he had imagined and he got there pretty quickly. Just like what his psychokinesis had told him earlier, this wasn’t a moon at all. It was a giant fruit.

“The vibes from this fruit are tremendous!” Su Jin could sense that if this fruit was allowed to ripen successfully, it would become extremely powerful. It was probably something that was close to reaching godly levels of power.

Su Jin was about to land on the moon when a red beam suddenly shot out from the moon. The beam was very fast and Su Jin was too near the moon to dodge it.

Boom!

Su Jin was hit by the beam and he looked like he was about to be crushed by the red beam. But the silver glow around him instantly brightened and repelled the red beam.

A few seconds later, the red beam faded. Su Jin looked a little tired. That was definitely a god-level attack and there was something special about it. Su Jin could feel his blood coursing quickly through his veins, as though he was about to turn into something else. If he wasn’t able to fight it, he might become a monster like Li Yi.

Li Yi got lucky too. He was now a few hundred meters below Su Jin and was just outside of the red beam’s range. Otherwise, the red beam would have blasted the old man to pieces and there would be no hope of reviving him.

Su Jin looked at the moon-like fruit and smiled faintly as he said, “You’ve sensed my presence and you’re very afraid now? You’re truly a powerful creature, and a very sensitive one too!”

A red beam rose from the moon and an old man in linen robes walked out. He looked extremely wise and he had an intelligent glint in his eyes as he stared at Su Jin.

“You’re the incarnation of the tree! And you dare to come out and meet me!” Su Jin was rather surprised. This old man was the incarnation of the ancient tree with that moon-like fruit. This tree was certainly much more powerful than the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life was about the same size as this tree, but the fact that it couldn’t present itself as a human proved that it was weaker.

The old man sighed and bowed slightly at Su Jin. “Powerful one, I am nothing more than an old tree and I dare not become enemies with you. Please allow me to live in peace.”

Su Jin frowned and said, “You’re mistaken. I do not intend to kill you at all. I’m just looking for a way to revive him.”

“That’s easy.” The old man grabbed the air and a faint red glow began to flow out of Li Yi’s pores. The red glow was quickly absorbed by the old man and the maniacal look in Li Yi’s eyes slowly faded. His body also went back to normal.

“I’ve given you what you wanted. Will you leave now?” the old man asked Su Jin again with a bow.

Su Jin shrugged. “I would like to leave too, but I have two conditions to fulfill. One is to extinguish the moonlight, and the other is to find the Moonlight Church.”

The old man froze for a moment, then frowned and said, “If I bring you to the Moonlight Church, will you leave then?”

“You should know better than me. I’m quite sure someone at your level would know about Hell’s Handbook,” said Su Jin.

The old man nodded slightly and said, “Alright then, come with me.” The old man flew toward the moon and Su Jin followed behind him.

This fruit wasn’t an actual planet, but it was still incredibly large. Su Jin guessed that it was at least as large as a mid-sized province in China.

The old man led Su Jin to a mountain. This moon turned out to be merely the outermost shell of the fruit, while the fruit itself was inside this mountain. The old man had installed a lot of weaponry inside this mountain, and the red beam that attacked Su Jin earlier came from this mountain.

“The Moonlight Church is found within the moon itself,” Su Jin shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. That wasn’t going to be easy for most owners to find. But since this was a Level C Challenge, there were definitely other hints elsewhere. If the owners were able to find these hints, there would probably be some other way to get up here, whereas he had chosen to fly here directly. If someone else had done the same thing, that red beam would probably have blasted them to pieces.

Li Yi had already fainted, so Su Jin had to use his psychokinesis to carry him along. The inside of the moon was very complex, so if Su Jin had to go through this without the use of his psychokinesis, it wasn’t going to be easy for him to find the church either.

But he had the old man to lead the way, so he quickly spotted the church. Su Jin threw Li Yi into the church and Li Yi immediately disappeared. The Handbook had assumed that Li Yi had completed the Challenge.

“Powerful one, please leave!” The old man’s face immediately fell when he realized that Su Jin did not look like he was going to walk into the church. Su Jin was the real threat here. The old man could sense the power that Su Jin had, which was a power even stronger than any of the deities he had seen before. He couldn’t let Su Jin stay here, or his fruit would be in great danger.

Su Jin glanced at him and said slowly, “Don’t worry. I am not interested in your fruit at all. I know that’s the new body you’ve prepared for yourself. But I just want to remind you that you won’t be able to become a god with just that new body.”

“Why not?” asked the old man instinctively. He had taken a long time to prepare for this transformation and he was very confident in becoming a god. Yet now, Su Jin was telling him that he couldn’t become one. That made him very unhappy.

“You have to understand one thing. Gods do not merely have powers, but they require you to be at a certain level as well. Your new body might be powerful enough to be god level, but you haven’t reached the minimum level required. This is like allowing a child to control the body of an adult. It sounds like it’ll work, but the fact that a child is unable to think like an adult will be the child’s downfall. To most people, this adult body with a child’s soul will seem more like a mentally challenged adult,” said Su Jin calmly.

The old man wanted to argue back, but didn’t know how to. Su Jin was right in saying that he hadn’t met the level required. He knew that himself.

“In that case… how can I become a god?” asked the old man respectfully.

Su Jin glanced at the old man and a thought suddenly hit him. “I could give you the chance to become a god. But you won’t become a god of Hell’s Handbook, but a god of mine. Would you be willing to do that?”

“A god of yours? I don’t understand…” The old man shook his head. He had no idea what Su Jin was talking about.

“To put it simply, I have a temple of my own. If you’re willing to, I can let you join me and I promise you will become a real god. But… you could very well be wiped out by the Handbook too,” said Su Jin.

The old man stared in horror at Su Jin. “You… you’re the insurgent!”

“Insurgent?” Su Jin was a little confused. He had not heard this term being used before. “Why do you say that?”

“Ah… no, it’s nothing,” the old man tried to cover it up.

But Su Jin was no fool. “Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. I’ll find out myself.” He sent his psychokinesis into the old man to search for answers.

A moment later, Su Jin retracted his psychokinesis and he looked a little surprised. The current gods had already sent out a wanted notice for him. They had sent it to every living creature that had the potential to become a god, and said that they had to find Su Jin and report to them, and they would reward the person generously. One of the rewards was to become a god!

The only problem was that the current gods didn’t know who the insurgent was exactly, so the wanted notice was kind of vague. But now that the old man had found out that Su Jin was the insurgent, he was filled with excitement. He now hoped to trap Su Jin here, then report to the current gods.

“I’m sorry, you’ve now made us enemies!” Su Jin had no choice but to grab hold of the old man and blast him to pieces. A demi-god exploded so easily from just being gripped by Su Jin, as though he were nothing more than a low quality balloon.

Even until the moment before he died, the old man had no idea that Su Jin had read his thoughts and found the answers himself.

Immediately after Su Jin had killed the old man, he sensed a few powerful beings coming his way. They were all headed for the core of this fruit which was the new body that the old man had prepared for himself.
