Judging from Steele’s wounds, Sui Xiong thought her condition wasn’t that serious: only an excessive loss of blood and severe poisoning. Sui Xiong thought it would take nothing more than an advanced restoration spell to save her.

But when Sui Xiong tried to save her, something weird happened. Steele’s soul was going through some strange transformation.

The wounds, blood loss, and poisoning weren’t so difficult for him to deal with; all he needed to do was heal her wounds, restore some blood, and remove the poison from her body, which were quite easy tasks for a god.

A magnificent stream of magic flew into Steele’s body, full of abundant nutrition. Steele’s body quickly began to heal as new blood was generated in her body and the toxins were cleansed. Soon her body was revived.

However, Steele still didn’t wake up. Instead, Sui Xiong could feel her soul quaking severely, and it was really unpleasant. Sui Xiong carefully considered this and realized that her soul might be making some sort of connection with a being far away.

Sui Xiong had read about this in the materials from the God of Redemption. This phenomena was called the “conversion to a holy spirit after making connection with a God”.

In this world, one’s belief could be either strong and weak, and there was a certain group of people who were widely admired. These were no frantic believers who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the god they believed in, but those who understood and upheld the doctrine of a specific god, living by his principles in their daily lives. They were like human embodiments of the god living among the masses, even if they themselves weren’t certain of the god’s existence.

They were called Saints, and their unshakeable belief was referred to as Holy Belief.

When a Saint died, his soul would then resonate with a certain god and became a holy spirit. A holy spirit was a creature with the stature of a half-god and had a power that was nearly as strong as a god. Saints were the most powerful followers of that god.

Besides, when a god suddenly vanished, as long as he had a holy spirit, they would help manage his priesthood temporarily and keep his magic power working, so that his Holy Kingdom would not collapse. Then after a while, because the Holy Kingdom still existed, the god could be reborn, or he could be revived via the body of the holy spirit.

All this meant that for a god, a holy spirit was as precious as an extra life or 1-up in a video game.

But Sui Xiong would never have thought that a slutty woman like Steele, who even wanted to have sex with a huge dragon before she died, could be a holy spirit!

Holy sh*t! Was there really such a tolerant god in this world? And the good gods wouldn’t mind or object to this?

Sui Xiong was complaining while looking through the materials, trying to find out which god would have a holy spirit like Steele. However, he could not find the answer.

Seeing Steele’s soul tremble more and more as it prepared to go through the transition, Sui Xiong became very curious and immediately sent a request for help to the God of Redemption, who was very experienced among all the gods.

The God of Redemption quickly answered Sui Xiong’s request. A magical power came from the sky and examined Steele. The God of Redemption recoiled a bit and was rather disgusted by this scene.

“This is really repulsive!” the God of Redemption said. “This woman is just a lunatic who upheld the principles of the King of Sex and Lust! Technically, this woman is a holy spirit, but she is a holy spirit for an evil god.”

The God of Redemption was indeed disgusted by Steele’s soul and left immediately. He simply left a message for Sui Xiong explaining who this God of Sex and Lust really was.

In a word, the God of Sex and Lust was the god version of Steele.

“Your Majesty, what is going on?” Ray was a smart guy, and when he saw Sui Xiong suddenly pull his tentacles back as another magical power quickly appeared and then disappeared, he instantly knew something had just happened!

“There’s been an…unexpected development,” Sui Xiong explained to Ray. “Steele is actually a holy spirit, and her soul began the transition when she almost died. I have managed to fix her body, but I can not stop her soul from transitioning. It seems like you really won’t be able to keep your promise this time.”

“What?! An evil god?!” Ray was surprised and said hurriedly, “Then why haven’t you stopped her!”

Sui Xiong was stunned by Ray’s words and said, “If she is going to become a holy spirit, then let her. Why on Earth should I stop her?”

“But she is a holy spirit for an evil God! Which means there is one more evil God in this world now!”

Sui Xiong finally realized this and explained, “The King of Sex and Lust is actually not an evil being. He simply encourages people to have sex and purports the idea that all happiness and art derives from sex. He also believes that sex should be something pure and holy, something that can live without the feeling of love, something everyone should pursue throughout life. This theory is a bit shocking, but not bad.”
