Top-tier Savior

Chapter 27: Relieving Suffering and Overcoming Calamities

Time was restrained by an invisible force as it flowed past Wang Ran, unable to advance even a fraction. Wang Ran curiously looked around, and space cracked inch by inch with his gaze.

A magnificent hymn played from the void, and surging rhythms surrounded Wang Ran as he stepped into nothingness.

Deep darkness slowly flowed before Wang Ran's eyes, with stars spread across it like grains of sand, emitting a dazzling divine radiance that had illuminated eternity.

Brilliant and resplendent, blinding to behold!

Wang Ran stood straight in place, his heart emanating a molten, scorching light beneath his chest. A crimson aura flowed through his blood vessels, and scarlet steam burst from beneath his skin.

Majestic as if a deity descending to earth,

Vast as an emperor donning armor!

Wang Ran curiously examined his own body. In fact, he had noticed these divine changes when he first obtained the talent [Descent of the Divine], but they were no longer visible once he returned to reality.

If only they could manifest in reality as well,

That would be so cool!

[Please make your choice]

Wang Ran looked up at the stars embedded in the darkness.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting his thoughts drift with the ancient breath of myth and legend, until they naturally moored somewhere.

"This is it!"

Wang Ran pointed following an intuition from the depths of his mind.

A milky white star churned out rolling waves of energy, pushing back the surrounding darkness, then shot towards Wang Ran like a comet falling to earth.

Boom!

It seemed silent, yet clearly thunderous enough to shake the world. The distorted sensation made Wang Ran's body tremble in pain.

[Congratulations on obtaining the talent "Relieving Suffering and Overcoming Calamities"]

A golden wheel appeared out of thin air behind Wang Ran's back.

His brow became gentle and friendly, and he emanated an irresistible aura of affinity, as if everything he said contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, worthy of all beings to follow.

The realm of nothingness gradually dissipated in the radiance of the golden wheel.

[Relieving Suffering and Overcoming Calamities]

[You can enlighten beings who are in suffering, making them grateful for your grace and becoming your loyal followers] [Follow me, food and lodging provided!]

[Resonance: None currently]

[Cooldown: None]

Wang Ran returned to reality.

He exclaimed in surprise: "What an evil talent!"

The effect of this talent was actually to turn suffering people into his followers, and it had no cooldown!

The apocalypse was full of suffering people!

If he had this talent during his previous simulation, he might have been able to turn Fourteen into his follower when Fourteen was being tortured by the pollen, his body covered in pits.

That way, he wouldn't have needed to repeatedly grind this route for three questions.

"Let's give it a try... Wait!"

Wang Ran suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by downstairs.

Bai Fan!

Bai Fan had a few withered blades of grass in his mouth, his head swaying left and right, lost in thought but looking very unhappy.

He was walking towards the area outside the dormitories.

Wang Ran pondered for two seconds, and finally decided to go downstairs to follow Bai Fan, because he was somewhat worried that Bai Fan might secretly run away.

He only knew that Bai Fan wasn't at school on the day the apocalypse arrived, but he wasn't sure exactly when Bai Fan had slipped away. It might be today.

He didn't want to let Bai Fan escape due to a moment of carelessness.

...

"I'm really stupid. Are you all so bored that you've lost your minds? Did your ancestors come to you in a dream and tell you to flip the earth's crown?" "Look at your moronic demeanor, are you worthy of representing all of humanity?" Bai Fan grumbled resentfully, the grass in his mouth moving rhythmically like a row of telegraph keys.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Bai Fan!"

Bai Fan was so startled he almost stood at attention and saluted.

Wang Ran said with a smile: "Good morning!"

"You scared me!" Bai Fan said angrily, "Stay away from me! I'm in a bad mood!"

Wang Ran didn't take Bai Fan's words seriously. He said with a smile: "Last night was a misunderstanding, I didn't expect that door to be so flimsy." He paused before adding: "Didn't I compensate you?"

Before he left, he had stuffed a bunch of condoms into Bai Fan's hands, worth at least three or four hundred yuan in total, definitely enough to offset the loss of that door.

Besides, Bai Fan didn't have to fix the door himself,

The school would handle it.

Bai Fan said in annoyance: "But I need to be able to use them!"

The world's ending, for goodness' sake!

He had been single since birth, didn't even have a roommate, where was he supposed to find someone to make beautiful music with anytime soon?

"You'll use them sooner or later!" Wang Ran said with a grin, "Come on, let's have breakfast together!"

Bai Fan pouted: "I'm going to Yong'an Temple to draw fortune sticks. You go eat by yourself."

Wang Ran asked in surprise: "You believe in Buddhism?"

Bai Fan rolled his eyes: "I don't, but I heard the fortune sticks at Yong'an Temple are very accurate."

When Wang Ran had arrived, he had heard Bai Fan's grumbling clearly. He was certain that Bai Fan had a very negative opinion of the Apocalypse Apostles.

He thought to himself, is Bai Fan going to draw fortune sticks now because he's become so confused internally that he has no choice but to seek help from the mystical?

If so, this would be a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation.

"Then I won't eat either. I'll go with you to Yong'an Temple to draw fortune sticks. I want to ask about my studies." Wang Ran paused, "What do you want to ask about?"

Bai Fan frowned: "Can't you go to Yong'an Temple by yourself? Why do you have to come with me?"

Wang Ran countered: "Isn't it boring to go alone?"

Bai Fan said sternly: "I'm saying I want to go alone. Don't follow me..."

"Bai Fan!"

Someone approached from the front,

Interrupting Bai Fan's words.

Bai Fan's expression immediately turned sour when he saw him.

Wang Ran showed barely noticeable surprise,

Because he recognized this person,

Yin Nanjian,

The Fourteenth Apocalypse Apostle!

The three of them stopped at the same time, their gazes jumping between each other's faces, simultaneously producing the same question in their minds: Why is he here?

Wang Ran greeted obediently: "Hello, senior!"

He looked at Yin Nanjian and then at Bai Fan beside him, wondering if Yin Nanjian had come specifically to confront Bai Fan. Could it be that Bai Fan had already been exposed at this point?

Yin Nanjian nodded slightly: "Why are you with Bai Fan? Are you classmates?"

Bai Fan frowned deeply: "You know each other?"

Standing on three separate paving stones were an Apocalypse Apostle, a traitor to the Apocalypse Apostles, and a novice savior. The atmosphere unconsciously became tense.

Wang Ran explained: "I met Senior Yin in a club. Bai Fan and I are classmates."

Bai Fan stared into Yin Nanjian's eyes and asked: "Why did you come looking for me?"

Yin Nanjian said to Wang Ran: "Bai Fan and I are childhood friends. We have some private matters to discuss. Could you give us some privacy, junior?"

Wang Ran nodded: "Go ahead and talk."

He had anticipated that Yin Nanjian would have some things he wanted to say to Bai Fan in private.

He was about to step aside when Bai Fan suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't go!"
