The Religious Affairs Bureau is different from other organizations. Except for the administrative personnel of the Chinese government, its members are all composed of experienced ancient warriors.

However, the registered ancient warriors and the Religious Bureau are not in a superior-subordinate relationship, but an organization similar to a bounty hunter.

Officials from the Religious Affairs Bureau issue tasks in the form of reward points for experience points. Each ancient warrior must complete three mandatory tasks within a year to accumulate basic points.

Only when you reach a certain level of experience points, you no longer need to accept the mandatory tasks from the Religious Affairs Bureau every year, and you can decide whether to accept the tasks based on your mood.

After all, experience points are still very attractive to ancient warriors. The points can be exchanged for medicinal materials, treasures, spiritual armor, weapon refining materials, spiritual treasures and other cultivation resources from the Religious Bureau's treasure house.

The last time I went to protect Ding Ning, it was a mandatory task, which made Ye Duxing very unhappy, but the final result was unexpected. Although she lost her innocence, she broke through to Tianwu several years in advance.

This made her feel very complicated, unable to weigh the pros and cons. Was she at a disadvantage? Or was she taking advantage?

But no matter what, she felt very happy because she didn't have to accept hard-assigned tasks, and she didn't have to keep in touch and wait for the Religious Affairs Bureau to release tasks.

At this moment, except for the black-robed man, Long Xiaotian, Feng Nier, Zhuo Bufan and a few others, everyone else joined in the melee.

After everyone gathered fire and injured the giant dwarf, the giant dwarf threw the soul-calling banner as expected, and everyone rushed forward to fight for the soul-calling banner. The temporary alliance instantly disintegrated, and a bloody melee began.

One after another, warriors who lost their minds due to greed lost their lives one after another. Even the closest people around them could stab themselves in the back at any time for the spirit treasure. No one dared to believe that everyone else was fighting on their own.

Whoever gets the Soul-Calling Banner will be the target of public criticism and will not survive for three seconds. However, these ancient warriors are still lucky, as if if they get the Soul-Calling Banner, they will be able to take it as their own and escape, and they go on and on.

They went to fight for it, resulting in corpses strewn across the field, screams coming in an endless stream, and blood almost staining the entire ground red.

Ding Ning, who was hiding in the soul-calling flag, was currently studying the ghost head trapped in the water bubbles with great interest.

The beautiful mermaid kept swimming around and blowing bubbles beside Ding Ning, as if the space of the soul-calling flag was not air but sea water.

The soul-calling flag is not a spatial spiritual treasure, but it was refined by Guisou with a wisp of evil soul into a strange space that can accommodate the survival of the remaining souls.

The fact that Ding Ning was able to stay safe and sound in the Soul-Calling Banner was entirely due to the mermaid's blisters. There was enough oxygen in the mermaid's blisters to prevent him from suffocating to death in this space where ghosts could only exist.

"Tian Shui, what on earth is this thing?"

Ding Ning studied for a long time but couldn't come up with any results. He subconsciously asked the mermaid, and he confidently took Tianshui as the mermaid's name.

Tian Shui didn't know why she couldn't communicate with Ding Ning in the outside world, but inside her bubble, she had no problem communicating with Ding Ning: "There is a being similar to me."

"What? Is this ghost head also a totem?"

Ding Ning was shocked by this answer and his eyes widened in shock.

However, Tian Shui bubbled up, his tone full of disdain: "How is that possible? There is no comparison between it and our totem."

"Then you said it is a similar existence to you."

Ding Ning rolled his eyes and avoided looking at the merman, trying to hide his inner impulse.

Grandma's, even if it's a totem, can't you wear a bra? Is it really okay to seduce me so much? I'm not a teddy, and you dare to wear a totem when you are exposed to the air every day.

Tian Shui tilted his cute head and frowned, with a thoughtful look on his delicate face, as if he was organizing his words: "I don't know how I was born, and I don't know what kind of life form I am. How can I learn from it?"

This ghost head feels similar but not exactly the same as me."

"Then what kind of life form are you?"

Ding Ning was interested in totems. He couldn't figure out the principle of such a magical thing, which made him feel itchy.

"I don't know, I only remember some very vague things. Many, many years ago, there seemed to be many... people, probably human beings, but they were much taller than humans like you, about the same height as those stone sculptures. They

It's not like you are wearing clothes, just a beast wrapped around your waist

Pi, those people would kowtow to me every day and pray for my blessing. They were very... pious, well, they were pious. Then I felt very comfortable, and my strength would continue to grow, thus protecting them. I was very powerful at that time, much better than I am now.

It's many times more powerful, but now I'm too weak."

Tian Shui spoke very slowly, always organizing his words, and seemed unable to accurately describe the feeling.

Ding Ning looked thoughtful, and was worshiped by a group of people every day. Could it be that Tianshui was once a god? Can he receive the power of faith?

In the inheritance that Xuanji left to him, there was also some knowledge inheritance, letting him know that there are several types of gods in the immortal world, one of which requires absorbing the power of faith to continuously increase the power of the gods.

This type of deity cultivates the power of all living beings, and the goddess of war is one of them.

This is also the reason why the Xuannv clan is so jealous of the gods because they take the place of the gods to shepherd and guard the human world and enjoy the offerings of the human world.

But who is the person Tianshui said is as tall as a stone sculpture and worships her? Is it someone from the Tianshui tribe?

It's a pity that Tian Shui's memory is missing and he can't remember the past at all, and he can't give Ding Ning an accurate answer.

As for the ghost head and her being similar but not exactly the same, Ding Ning also has a rough guess. After all, the ghost head and the totem are abnormal life forms that cannot be explained by science. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are similar, but the totem is a person who accepts faith.

It exists because of power, while the ghost head only exists by swallowing people's essence and blood.

Feeling the black and white flames on the black-faced Buddha, Ding Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly. There were so many things that he couldn't understand. Isn't the existence of the Nine Netherworld Fire also a phenomenon that cannot be explained by science?

"By the way, Tianshui, if you don't accept human worship now, won't you become weaker and weaker?"

Ding Ning suddenly thought of a key question and asked nervously. Tianshui has its own mermaid space, which can bring him endless help and convenience. He doesn't want Tianshui to leave him one day.

The mermaid puffed out bubbles: "No, I have been devouring the souls of living creatures for so many years to barely maintain my immortal state, but now that I have you, I will become stronger and stronger."

"Me? You're not going to swallow my soul, are you?"

Ding Ning was startled and asked warily.

"How is that possible? I can't swallow it even if I want to. Besides, I don't like swallowing souls. I only do that to maintain my life."

Tian Shui's pretty face showed a happy look: "You are very special. As long as I stick to your body, I can absorb the power in you and continuously recover."

"That power? What power?"

Ding Ning was confused. Did the mermaid absorb its own power? Why didn't he feel it?

"It's just... you have the same power as those people... kowtowing to me. I don't know why you have that kind of power."

Tian Shui stuttered as he spoke, trying his best to express what kind of power it was, but he couldn't explain clearly due to lack of language.

The power of faith generated by worship? Is it...my own reputation?

An idea flashed in Ding Ning's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. He became an Internet celebrity and cured many patients. Those patients would be grateful to him and spread the word of mouth, which would in turn increase his reputation.

If the only power in him that is similar to the power of faith is reputation.

"I can't explain clearly, but I know that if you want to get other totems, you must have a lot of this power. Otherwise, even if you find other totems, they will not be willing to attach themselves to you. After all, they are different from the weak ones.

I'm different. They rely on sleep and still retain most of their power."

Tian Shui's little face showed a serious look, and he spoke carefully and seriously.

Ding Ning's eyes lit up: "Do you know where the other totems are?"

"Our totems can sense each other, but I'm too weak now. I can't sense them at a slight distance. I can only sense where they are after recovering part of my strength."

Tian Shui shook his head in distress, causing the alluring beauty on his chest to ripple, making Ding Ning's mouth go dry. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look again: "I will help you regain your strength as soon as possible."

"Um!"

Tian Shui swam around happily with his tail wagging, "By the way, this ghost head is not a good thing. Just destroy it. I can help you transform this space."

"Renovation?"

Ding Ning looked at her in astonishment.

"Yes, transformation, I can create a waterless barrier in this space and transform it into a storage space, but it cannot store living objects, only dead objects, which can be kept fresh."

Tian Shui wagged his tail happily, seeming to be able to help Ding Ning and make her happy.

Ding Ning's eyes lit up. Although he had a mermaid space, who could think of a lack of storage space? When he thought of the ghostly appearance of the soul-calling flag, he suddenly felt dizzy and tried to ask without much hope.

: "Can the appearance of the space be changed?"

"Okay, I can turn it into a water drop."

Tian Shuihun said nonchalantly, but Ding Ning was overjoyed and asked greedily: "Can the space be expanded?"

"No, although this is made of space minerals, the material is very poor. It has reached its limit to be able to open up such a large space."

Tian Shui frowned, as if he felt strange that he somehow knew these things.

"Well, when the battle outside is over, you can help me transform it."

Ding Ning suddenly understood why there was such a space in the Soul-Calling Banner. It seemed that Guisou had accidentally obtained low-quality space ore from nowhere, and he had unintentionally created this space that could accommodate ghosts when he was refining the ghost head.

Although he couldn't expand, which made him a little disappointed, he was still very satisfied with the thirty cubic meters of storage space. He thought happily that this space could be given to Luo Xue, and it would be more convenient for her to buy groceries every day.

No matter how big or small the bag is, I can carry it.

If other people knew that Ding Ning planned to use the extremely precious Mustard Seed Space to buy groceries, they would be so angry that they would vomit out a mouthful of blood and scold him for wasting natural resources.

You must know that the ancient martial arts world is not without stored magic weapons. Some ancient ruins have appeared, and occasionally some stored magic weapons will appear.

However, storage magic weapons are extremely rare, and they are also graded. The largest and most precious storage magic weapon currently known has only seven or eight cubic meters of storage space, and the smallest one is less than half a cubic meter, which is enough to trigger

A bloody battle.
