Sister Hua, please tell grandma, maybe we can be useful elsewhere too!”

“Ah, yes!” The fox-faced witch snapped to her senses, “I’ll go find grandma!”

Sister Hua hurried away, and the trio continued their high-efficiency exorcism work…

“How should we handle this?!”

In Weiyuan City, a long-haired giant dragon worshipper anxiously chewed on a pencil as he looked at the densely packed “+1”, “+0.5”, “+2″…

on the top right corner of his paper, indicating a situation far beyond normal!

“Lord Huojin God, should I keep recording this?

So many points could seriously impact later…”

The giant dragon worshipper listened intently to something, shrinking his neck in fright, “Aieeee, should we set a limit?!

But this isn’t in accordance with Your rules…”

…

It seemed Lord Huojin God was angered and took a while before giving instructions.

The worshipper said in a subdued voice, “Understood, I’ll leave everything to Lord Yidou Nengmai to handle, I just keep track, I just keep track.”

With a pained expression, he picked up his pen and continued recording: +1, +2, +1…

By 9:30 PM, the Superpower User’s fortune-telling stall had been open for nearly three hours.

After Linai joined, the stall’s resolution speed had significantly improved.

Netherworld Eyes saw through the essence, Linai provided the relevant information, and the Superpower User, after a brief conjecture, would almost always hit the mark.

Substantial physic solved nearly all issues of physical disability and material needs, psychological problems were swiftly resolved under Shiyu Ling’s command, and for the few cases where a solution wasn’t readily available, basic information was recorded and handed over to the priests of Seven Luminaries Divine Sect for thorough research.

Three hours passed, and the number of demons and ghosts on the streets had nearly halved!

Before vanishing, some grateful hidden gods gifted personal items—fishing rods, cloth shoes, magical hooks, gems…

All sorts of gifts piled up behind the small stall, their strange lights shimmering like neon lights in a city.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Ce had no time to take a closer look, having intensely taxed his brain for three hours, he now truly needed rest.

“Cough cough, my lords of God, please, calm down,” Gongsun Ce strained his voice, using psychokinesis to make a “Halftime Break” sign, “My voice is a bit hoarse, and my brain can barely keep up, let’s rest for a while before we continue.

Don’t worry, I’ll be sitting right here tonight, not leaving until everything is resolved.”

Shiyu Ling’s notepad had been thrown aside when the count reached 100 as she found it too laborious to keep track.

The priests went to soothe the queue of waiting hidden gods, while the fox-faced Sister Hua brought over three cups of iced fruit juice, which Linai quickly snatched up and guzzled down.

“I haven’t spoken this much since…

well, since the witch trials…”

Shiyu Ling spoke with a parched throat, ignoring the drink brought by the witch, “I’m done!

It’s already 9:30 PM, and I’ve spent the entire night sitting here playing the role of a high monk without even browsing the stalls, what is this?!”

Gongsun Ce leaned on the table, weakly saying, “This is, ah, building up good karma, which will pay off in the future…

Ouch, my throat hurts, I can’t talk anymore…”

Sister Hua, with her fox-faced mask, said with a smile, “Mr.

Gongsun, you are truly incredible!

Over here, helping even one hidden god is considered a feat of deeply cultivated priests.

And Mr.

Gongsun, tonight you’ve even helped over a hundred!”

Hearing this, even the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect supported the exorcism of hidden gods.

After all, being clerics who served as bridges between mortals and gods, it wasn’t surprising they felt this way…

Linai asked excitedly, “Little Ce, how do you manage to do it?

Why is it that you only need one look, a few words of explanation, to come up with a solution?”

The Superpower User took off his glasses and wiped them with a cloth.

“It’s just a bit of cleverness, really.

As long as one can see through reality, anyone can do it.”

He put his glasses back on and explained, “At the end of the day, the difficulty in liberating the hidden gods lies in their ‘unclear desires’.

This confusion leads to their strange behaviors and gives them appearances that even they cannot recognize.

Miss Linai, have you ever seen what a hungry ghost looks like?”

“A little kid with a ghostly face and dirty, black skin.”

“Whereas the hungry ghosts I see have bluish-purple skin.

You see, this is a difference in the amount of information.

If we base our deductions on incorrect information, even the wisest philosophers or sages will struggle to discern what the gods truly desire.

It’s quite remarkable that the priests can still deduce their behaviors and general preferences under such challenging circumstances.”

Linai sipped her drink thoughtfully while the fox-faced Sister Hua seemed still puzzled.

“I’m sorry, Mr.

Gongsun, but I still don’t understand how you go from seeing through reality to deciphering their desires…”

…Ah, I forgot to mention a major premise.

“My personal conjecture is that the hidden gods’ appearance barriers are greatly linked to their cognitive impairments,” Gongsun Ce explained one by one, “Like the Mirror Woman and the Faceless, the Hungry Ghost and the bluish-purple skin—these characteristics stem from their desires, but due to their unclear cognition, the hidden gods appear false to everyone.

The clearest example is One-Eyed Indra; he’s not even sure where he comes from, having only a vague hunch, so to others and to himself, he’s just a speaking sea breeze.”

In other words, the self-awareness of hidden gods affects their appearance.

Not knowing their desires, they can never discern their true forms, and those who cannot see through reality will likewise struggle to help.

Thus, for thousands of years, these enigmatic beings wander around Zero Island, engaging in incredible acts, all in pursuit of fulfillment.
