Hearing the word "Sovereign," Wen Wen's heart skipped a beat.
Was there a belief here that directly addressed the supreme sovereign of the inner world?
But how come Wen Wen didn't know about such a Scarlet Sovereign in the inner world?
Although being named Scarlet was a bit of a downgrade, the Sovereign was an existence that the previous owner of the containment facility feared greatly, even to the point of being terrified.
However, when Wen Wen saw the statue Su Nuo was pointing at, he couldn't help but chuckle.
The statue before him was five to six meters tall and very rough, with its human form barely discernible. It seemed to have several scars on its face.
There was an inexplicable power emanating from the statue, proving that it could indeed receive faith, protect the faith within the camp, which would then twine around the statue and be sent to a specific entity.
But Wen Wen himself possessed the faith of those mine ghosts, so he could easily tell that this was absolutely not the statue of a sovereign-level existence!
Even calling himself the Star Realm God was gilding the lily!
He didn't know where this person got the nerve to call himself a Sovereign!
According to Wen Wen's conjecture, this should just be a true-order monster, trying to gain divinity and become a god by borrowing the faith of the refugees.
Su Nuo glared angrily at Wen Wen. That chuckle could be considered a provocation.
Wen Wen quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't do it on purpose, and then pointed at the statue, saying, "The red on this statue should be human blood. In the current Qingji Plateau, only human blood should be so vibrant..."
Su Nuo avoided Wen Wen's gaze and did not answer Wen Wen's question. Instead, he said to Wen Wen in a stiff tone:
"This is the only paradise before the doomsday. If you want to live here, you must make your contributions."
"Then, what contributions do we need to make?" Wen Wen asked curiously.
Su Nuo said quickly, "Men can go and build the paradise here together, or guard the containment facility. Women can cook and prepare meals, or... serve the divine envoys."
"Also, if you have any special skills, such as painting, singing, or dancing, as long as you can make everyone happy, you can qualify to live here."
Building, guarding, and cooking were all acceptable. Wen Wen could understand women serving privileged individuals, but what was the deal with those entertainment activities?
In the environment of the Qingji Plateau, did this containment facility have the leisure to engage in entertainment?
Seeing Wen Wen thinking, Su Nuo patted Wen Wen's shoulder, not looking him in the eye:
"I've said what I needed to say. If you want to live here, you must contribute your strength. You have one day to think about how to contribute. If you don't want to 'contribute,' then leave now."
Su Nuo emphasized the words "leave," and Wen Wen understood what that meant.
However, Wen Wen still nodded and said, "There's food and drink here, and we're not afraid of monster attacks. Why should we leave? We'll figure out how to contribute tomorrow."
Su Nuo looked deeply at Wen Wen, said nothing further, and walked directly towards the temple.
At this time, the temple was equivalent to a palace. Only those with status in the containment facility could reside in the Gan Zhe Temple.
Every time a new resident joined the containment facility, Su Nuo had to report to the Gan Zhe Temple.
Upon entering the temple, Su Nuo's expression was complex. He didn't know if the decision of the three people to stay here was a good thing or a bad thing for them.
He knew very well that living in this temporary containment facility was not a pleasant thing.
But he could only do this because it would make everyone else in the containment facility, including himself, safer.
Moreover, those three refugees might not survive two days outside, but in the containment facility, as long as they weren't too unlucky, they could live for a very, very long time...
Su Nuo could only comfort himself like this... Sudan Novel Network
A pair of hands reached out from behind Su Nuo and embraced his waist. Su Nuo knew it was Qin Shu He.
"You said things you shouldn't have said again," Qin Shu He said softly from behind.
Su Nuo stiffened, then let out a few dry laughs.
"You don't have to be afraid of me. I won't tell the divine envoys. I just want you to know that I'm still your Shu He..."
Su Nuo sighed deeply. The reason he was willing to stay in the containment facility and hold an important position there was entirely because of Qin Shu He.
Although she might no longer be human, apart from that scar, she showed no signs of being different from a normal human.
She retained all her memories from her life, and she was still as gentle to him as before.
For Su Nuo, this was enough.
After Su Nuo left, a middle-aged woman led Wen Wen and the other two to a newly built house.
A while later, they were brought three bed boards and bedding. After telling Wen Wen and the others some common knowledge about the containment facility, she left.
However, Wen Wen could see that she seemed to want to say something, but ultimately did not speak it.
This house was not large, but it had everything it needed. In such circumstances, living in such a place was clearly fortunate.
After the woman left, Bai Bai pulled Wen Wen's sleeve, "Didn't you say we were just staying here temporarily? Why is this..."
Wen Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, one night is enough for me to solve the problem here. However, your Master Da Shan is probably already dead."
After Bai Bai was disappointed for a while, she went to Bai Xiao Mi. The two rabbits were saying something, and Wen Wen wasn't interested in eavesdropping. In any case, they were very noisy with their chirping.
He took a small piece of wooden board, walked out of the house, and sat at the entrance to observe this small containment facility. After only a short while, he discovered some clues.
Su Nuo was probably the person with the highest status among the ordinary people here, but there were not only ordinary people here, but also a type of person whose status was higher than Su Nuo's, which was the divine envoys.
According to the aunt, there were three divine envoys in the containment facility, and one grand divine envoy.
Wen Wen found these three divine envoys using his Mirror Eye. They were all wearing bright red robes, which should have been dyed with human blood.
One of them was thin and often walked around the camp, but Wen Wen knew that he had no legs under his wide robe. He should be the surveillance divine envoy mentioned by the aunt.
Another burly fellow would go out from time to time, and when he returned, he would either carry several large trees or a complete boulder. He should be the Giant Strength Divine Envoy.
Then there was a normal-sized fellow holding a sickle, who would quickly swing the sickle, cutting those trees and stones into complete wooden planks and stone blocks. The materials for the expansion of the camp should have come from this. He should be the Sickle Divine Envoy.
The aura of these three red-robed figures was similar to the monsters Wen Wen had encountered outside, but they were more powerful, each with disaster-level strength.
Besides these three, within the temple building, there was an aura of superior-order strength, which should be the grand divine envoy.
But there was no mirror there, so Wen Wen did not know what this grand divine envoy looked like.
