Chapter 18 Shinto

Everyone shook their heads.

"Enforcers and law officers, one word difference, but a world of difference...

This is not a difference in official position, but a difference in power.

Enforcers are just ordinary people with the power of enforcement, while law officers...

have their own path to the divine."

"It is rumored that before the great catastrophe, there were a total of eighteen divine paths in the world, each path different.

But with the changing times and the decline of civilization, now only fourteen of the eighteen divine paths remain."

"These fourteen paths are..."

"Book, Medicine, Soldier, Yellow, Green, Clever, Chess, Puppet, Witch, Power, Divination, Thief, Prostitute;"

"It is said that each divine path leads to a 'divine position', and if one completes all of them, they can transcend the mortal world and ascend to godhood..."

"And the enforcers in our Aurora Realm are in charge of the 'Soldier Divine Path' among the fourteen divine paths."

"According to the regulations of the enforcers in Aurora City, after three years of probation, each enforcer can qualify for a chance to enter the 'Ancient Arsenal of the Soldier Path'.

If they pass the trials in the 'Arsenal', they have the opportunity to be chosen by the 'Soldier Divine Path' and officially embark on this path to the divine."

"Once on the path to the divine, Aurora City will change your identity from an enforcer to a law officer."

After listening to Han Meng's explanation, the eyes of the crowd lit up...

Completing the path, one can ascend to godhood! For a group of young adults who have just come of age, this has a great appeal! In Chen Ling's mind, the scene of the battle between the red paper monster and Han Meng last night automatically appeared...

Han Meng seemed to have opened up some kind of mysterious domain, and then became exceptionally fierce.

So that was the power of the 'Soldier Divine Path'? "May I ask, is it only by entering the 'Ancient Arsenal' that one can obtain the path to the divine?" someone in the crowd asked cautiously.

"In theory, no," Han Meng shook his head, "The key to stepping onto the path to the divine lies in gaining the recognition of the 'divine path'.

If you have a strong talent on a certain divine path, or if the divine path believes that you are naturally meant to walk this path, then it will naturally guide you...

These people are called 'Divine Favorers'."

"I once saw a young man from the Southern Sea Realm who started drawing at the age of three, self-taught, and at the age of five, he casually drew a painting of 'Hundred Boats Competing in the Flow', gaining the favor of the 'Green Divine Path' and becoming the youngest divine path owner in history.

" The whole audience was in an uproar."

But those chosen by the divine path are rare, and the vast majority of people who want to walk the divine path can only rely on entering the 'Ancient Arsenal'...

Of course, not all ancient arsenals are within the range of the human realm, and some are located at the intersection of the Gray Realm and reality, making it extremely difficult for ordinary humans to reach.

This also means that few people can enter and pass the trials, and to step onto these divine paths, one must only rely on the 'divine favor', so the number of people on these divine paths is extremely rare.

For example, the Yellow Divine Path, the Play Divine Path, the Thief Divine Path, the Prostitute Divine Path."

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"In short, these fourteen divine paths are the only extraordinary paths recognized by the human realm, and in the Aurora Realm, the vast majority of people's choice is only the 'Soldier Divine Path'."

"The only one recognized by the human realm?" Chen Ling asked, "So, are there paths that are not recognized?" Han Meng glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, and then answered, "There are...

and quite a few, such as the 'Fusionists' who attempt to abandon their human identity and voluntarily merge with the catastrophe; the cultists who worship the Red Star of Heavenly Calamity, the 'Crimson Sky Sect'...

But you must never touch these paths.

Once someone walks on these paths, the only outcome is to be wanted by all of the human realm and then...

exterminated." At the mention of the words 'exterminated', Chen Ling's heart skipped a beat.

If he guessed correctly, the 'audience' inside him should be a 'catastrophe', so does that mean he has merged with the catastrophe? Chen Ling didn't know, and didn't dare to ask.

He suddenly felt that it was a very correct decision not to seek help from the enforcers before.

If he really counted as a Fusionist, the enforcers' first reaction upon knowing about this matter would most likely be to eliminate him along with the disaster inside him.

Looking at the solemn group of enforcers not far away, sweat began to seep from Chen Ling's palms...

[Audience Expectation +10] [Current Expectation: 33%] Two lines of characters flashed in front of Chen Ling's eyes in the void, and he couldn't help but curse the "audience" in his heart for their abnormality.

Their happiness was completely built on his life-threatening situation...

However, despite the tension, Chen Ling wasn't that afraid.

After all, even Han Meng probably wouldn't have expected that there would be a Fusionist who not only met the enforcers without running away but also actively approached them, trying to blend in with the enforcers.

"Like the Fusionists and the Crimson Heaven Sect, is it possible for them to master the path of communication with the gods?" someone asked again.

"Almost impossible," Han Meng said lightly, "There is no path of communication with the gods that would bestow divine favor upon the monsters embracing evil..." A hint of disappointment flashed in Chen Ling's eyes...

As a time traveler, he naturally hoped to have powers beyond the ordinary world.

To be honest, when the path of communication with the gods was mentioned just now, he was also tempted...

But if he really was a Fusionist, he couldn't go down that path.

"Next, someone will assign tasks to each of you.

Three days later, whether you can stay...

depends on yourselves." After saying the last sentence, Han Meng turned and left.

The crowd began to discuss again.

Next, several enforcers stepped forward to announce the tasks for each person.

"Jiang Lipeng, Nie Yining, responsible for assisting in patrolling the Cold Cloud Street in District Three; Deng Feiliang, Gong Heng, responsible for assisting in patrolling the Cold Snow Street in District Three..."

Everyone present was in the reserve seat and did not have the ability to patrol alone, so they could only help the formal enforcers solve some trivial matters.

The people mentioned at the beginning were fine, but as they went on, the streets they were responsible for patrolling became more remote, and in the end, there were even personnel crossing districts to support District Two.

"...Wu Youdong, Chen Ling, responsible for assisting in patrolling the Ice Spring Street in District Two..."

When he heard his name mentioned in District Two, Chen Ling was slightly stunned.

He clearly remembered that no one had gone to patrol the Cold Frost Street in District Three, and he himself was from the Cold Frost Street, so why did they specifically assign him to District Two? Although District Three and District Two were not far apart, commuting every day would take at least four hours...

In this way, wouldn't all his time be squeezed out?

"The assessment starts today.

Everyone now has three hours to prepare to go home," Han Meng said.

Three hours later, they must be on duty.

After the enforcers read out the list, they dispersed the crowd.

Chen Ling vaguely felt that something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint it.

"Brother, are you Chen Ling?" A slender young man cautiously approached Chen Ling.

"You are..."

"I am Wu Youdong, going to support District Two with you." "Oh, hello." Wu Youdong looked around, lowered his voice, and asked, "Did you bribe them?" "Bribe them?" Chen Ling was puzzled.

"I mean the one who just read the list, the enforcement officer named Ma Zhong...

He is in charge of personnel transfers.

Where we go and what we do are all up to him." Seeing Chen Ling's reaction, Wu Youdong sighed helplessly, "Judging by your appearance, you didn't bribe them either...

No wonder we are the most miserable." Hearing this, Chen Ling finally understood.

He suddenly remembered what the man who drove the yellow cart said on the way here...

"Can't afford to be an enforcer without money?" "It seems that enforcers are not good people," Chen Ling sneered in his heart.

Even the laborer pulling the cart on the roadside knew what kind of people the enforcers were, which was enough to illustrate how serious the internal problems of this organization were.

"Where do you live?" "Cold Frost Street, No.

128.""Coincidence, I am also on Hanfrost Street, but at the other end." "Brother, we are also in the same boat, when we get to District Two, let's help each other out." Wu Youdong said a few words to Chen Ling, then hurried home to pack up.

Chen Ling finally left the headquarters, just as he stepped out, a cold voice sounded from the door.

"Stop." Chen Ling paused, he slowly turned around, only to see Han Meng leaning against the wall, with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes staring at him like a snake.

"Are you Chen Ling?"”
