"Hehe, alright, stop overthinking it." Xia Wei didn't continue teasing Yulia. Everything has a limit, and if you cross that line, things start to become abstract.
Of course, it wasn't that he disliked abstract girls; it was just that making a girl who wasn't originally abstract become abstract didn't fit his impression.
"Later, you will encounter many people with the same mission as you. They are all trustworthy companions."
In a way, he wasn't wrong in saying that God's Grace who were bestowed with a "Divine Blessing" were "Children of Destiny."
After all, they all had beautiful aspirations and hearts. It was just that, compared to his dependents, they couldn't uphold their wishes throughout their lives.
They would also waver if faced with major setbacks.
Unable to uphold their wishes throughout their lives, and with wavering aspirations, even if given a "Blessing," they couldn't become Gods. It was a complete waste.
"Once you two meet them, you can gradually enter the deeper layers of the world to eliminate those powerful evil spirits."
Those who obtain a "Divine Blessing" can cross the boundaries of perception and enter the Ri (Other) World below the third layer.
Below the third layer, it's entirely the world of evil spirits.
The Ri (Other) World below the third layer is practically no different from a "Dungeon."
Every city is a 'battleground,' and after being cleared, it recovers in a few years.
"Are there many others like Yulia and me? Are they all Upper God's priestesses?" Yotsuya Miko asked softly.
Yulia thought to herself: 'So, the ones we haven't met yet are the remaining 'protagonist group' members! How many people are in my 'protagonist group'? What are their personalities like? What kind of Divine Blessing do they have? I'm so excited.'
Xia Wei smiled, "Some are my priestesses, and some are not."
"Also, as Exorcists, you don't have to worry about money. When you have time, you can take on commissions."
Both Yulia and Yotsuya Miko came from ordinary families. Especially Yotsuya Miko, only her mother worked to support her and her younger brother, so their life was very tight.
Yotsuya Miko thought of her mother, whose eyes showed fatigue. Now, she could also earn money to help the family.
Perhaps they could even live very well.
In the commission hall, she saw that each commission paid at least 100,000 Ba. An ordinary office worker only earned around 300,000 a month. She might be able to earn that in a few days.
Yotsuya Miko and Yulia walked out of the manager's office and chose their rooms in the lounge area. From now on, they would have their own private rooms in the "Cafe."
However, they were still students, so it was unlikely they would stay there at night under normal circumstances, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain it to their parents.
"Si Gu Qian Bei, please guide me from now on," Yulia said, looking at Yotsuya Miko.
"Yes, please guide me. You can just call me Miko," Yotsuya Miko nodded. She also liked this girl who liked to stick to her. It was good to have such a friend.
"Miko, are you planning to do some exorcism tonight?" Yulia's eyes were full of anticipation.
Yotsuya Miko quickly stopped Yulia's team invitation: "Yulia, you just received your Divine Blessing and magical knowledge. It's best to get familiar with them for two days first. Exorcism is very dangerous."
"I understand." Yulia was also very amenable to advice. Her logic was entirely based on the manga she had read. If you just gain power and go seeking death, even if you don't die, you'll get hurt.
Yotsuya Miko explained her understanding of magic to Yulia, and Yulia listened with a very serious expression.
Chatting as they walked out of the Cafe, the two unconsciously became good friends.
"See you tomorrow, Miko," Yulia waved reluctantly.
Her and Miko's routes home were in different directions, so they couldn't go together.
"See you tomorrow."
Watching the slowly receding figure, the "repelling aura" that Yulia's face usually had due to her reclusiveness disappeared.
"Friend, companion, Upper God—" Yulia placed her palm on her chest, looked up at the sky, her eyes moist: "My 'Exorcist' life has finally begun."
Manager's office.
A deep green halo appeared before Xia Wei, emitting waves of will fluctuations.
"I thought you wouldn't dare appear before me," Xia Wei said with a smile, looking at the 'Will Halo' in front of him.
The deep green will halo indicated that this world had reached the late-middle stage of the second energy level. The third energy level was blue.
At the middle stage of the second energy level, 'divinity' could already be born.
And indeed, there were 'Gods' in this world.
That 'Mountain God' at the Sanhuko God Shrine.
Evil spirits were enshrined by humans building shrines. After hundreds of years, 'divinity' was born from faith over time.
It was just that this 'divinity' was too mixed.
In the early stages, divinity must not be mixed, otherwise, it can never be elevated.
There is a limit to the 'divinity' a living being can carry.
If a living being is compared to a cup, then the water in the cup is divinity. Pouring both tea and wine into the cup is definitely not allowed.
Another important reason is that the more mixed the divinity, the less it can condense 'Authority.'
The Sanhuko God had been worshipped by many people for hundreds of years, and the faith changed every few decades, from a fox God of harvest, to a Mountain God governing the wilderness, to a protective God for blessings. The divinity was so mixed it had become a fertilizer bucket.
"The contract is here. You decide for yourself. If you decide, sign it." Xia Wei was too lazy to trick it now, being direct.
What was his current strength? His Godhead was already at the critical point of Lv.2.
Having already absorbed the world structures of "Akame ga Kill" and "Black Bullet," two second-energy-level worlds, he had begun to reconstruct his Godhead.
In two months at most, he would reach Lv.2 Godhead, a true 'surface-level' God.
If it were a 'third-energy-level world,' he would definitely be more serious.
But you're just a 'second-energy-level' world. You have to speak to me on your knees, otherwise, you won't get any good juice.
That's right, he was a bully, fearing the strong and picking on the weak, not even pretending otherwise.
[—·] The World Will still wanted to bargain. After all, this was its world. Even a God who could rub it into the ground couldn't be so overbearing.
"Scram!" Xia Wei's eyes narrowed.
[·] The World Will trembled, its Will Halo flickering, emitting a very angry aura, then directly signed the contract, finally revealing its will fluctuations.
The general meaning was [If you want me to scram, I'll scram].
Then it vanished with a whoosh.
"Pfft, still trying to bargain with me." Xia Wei clicked his tongue. For lower-level worlds, signing a contract with the Gods was a great blessing in itself; it was just a matter of how much benefit they could gain.
Looking at Saya Takagi, who was dumbfounded beside him, it was her first time seeing a "World Will," and the "World Will" was so subservient before her Upper God.
"Saya, go to the Kōtetsujō world and bring the people on the list," Xia Wei waved his hand, and a Heavenly Realm Gate appeared in front.
A list with several names appeared before Saya Takagi.
"Understood." Saya Takagi nodded, put away the list, and walked into the Heavenly Realm Gate.
"Hmm—" Xia Wei raised his hand, and another 'Heavenly Realm Gate' appeared.
This was the gate to the 'Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!' world.
