Su Yun finished reading the description of her attributes.
With a wave of her hand, a full-length mirror appeared before her.
Though she’d been looking at herself for ages and had grown immune to her own beauty, Su Yun was still stunned all over again.
In her Goddess State, her face and figure hadn’t changed much, but her presence had been elevated to a whole new level.
The woman before her was like a celestial maiden from the highest heavens—aloof and untouchable.
Her Divine Maiden outfit was so extravagantly beautiful that it made Su Yun look even more regal and imposing.
In this getup, she could probably just stand outside and intimidate a whole crowd. She might even win herself a few followers.
In short, to summon followers, she needed more than an impressive venue. She also had to embody the presence of a Divine Maiden.
Otherwise, she might finally get people to show up, only for them not to trust her and refuse to help save the world. That’d be a huge loss.
Oh, right.
She had another trick up her sleeve.

“Ding-dong! 10,000 units of Humiliation deducted. Successfully learned a Rank C Light ability.”
…
In an instant, Su Yun felt a surge of pure energy enter her body.
“First time learning a supernatural ability. Spirit increased by 10 points.”
At the same time, her Spirit attribute rose to 30.
“Let there be light!”
Su Yun gave a soft command, and a gentle glow spilled down over her head.
She adjusted the light’s intensity and angle a few times in the mirror, then nodded in satisfaction.
“How can someone playing a divine con artist get by without some dramatic lighting?”
Now, thanks to her Light ability, a beam always shone down over her head, making her look even more sacred and noble.
Now that looked the part.
“With an outfit like this, there’s no way I can’t fool them into willingly working for me and saving Earth.”
Su Yun was secretly delighted. At last, she wouldn’t have to bear the responsibility of saving Earth alone.
Now that everything was ready, she could use the Space Gate to summon her followers.
Su Yun went to the Space Gate in the middle of the temple.
She held out her hand, and with a single thought…
The energy in the Space Gate before her began to surge.
Soon, three spheres of light appeared in the temple, spinning as they took shape. Then they transformed into three living, breathing humans.
“Ding-dong! Within the Salvation Space, the host has gained the ability to view other humans’ attributes.”
In the blink of an eye…
The three people before her stared at their surroundings in shock.
One of them was a half-naked man working out with a dumbbell.
Su Yun focused her thoughts. Assess.
At the same time, she used her Light ability to hide herself for the moment. She’d inspect all three before revealing herself.
Name: Xing Yihao
Gender: Male
Strength: 13
Agility: 14
Intelligence: 12
Spirit: 0
Abilities: Rank E Mixed Martial Arts, Rank E Wilderness Survival, Rank E Marksmanship, Rank E Reconnaissance
Overall Combat Strength: Rank D-
Su Yun thought to herself, Not bad. This guy could serve as a combatant.
Judging by his attributes, he was probably a retired soldier.
Next up.
He looked like a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with a beer belly.
“What’s going on? I was discussing a contract with a business partner. How did I end up here? This doesn’t feel like a dream, either,” the middle-aged man said.
“Assess.”
Name: Xu Zhengchu
Gender: Male
Strength: 11
Agility: 9
Intelligence: 12
Spirit: 0
Abilities: Rank E+ Money Power (assets worth 100 million–1 billion), Rank E Management
Overall Combat Strength: Rank E+
After checking the fat man’s attributes, Su Yun nodded in satisfaction.
Building a force required money—and lots of it.
Information, intelligence, and logistics would all cost plenty down the line.
If she could trick… negotiate with the fat man into coughing up some cash, the Salvation Society would have a much easier time getting started.
His management skills could also make him useful in an administrative role.
And finally, the last one.
Looking at the last follower she’d summoned, Su Yun instinctively felt that something was off.
Why did this girl seem like she wasn’t the brightest?
At that moment, a young woman in her early twenties was completely ignoring her surroundings. In a temple this grand, she was actually munching on duck neck?
“Assess.”
Name: Chen Shasha
Gender: Female
Strength: 8
Agility: 8
Intelligence: 9
Spirit: 0
Ability: Accelerates the progress of the main storyline.
Overall Combat Strength: Rank F
Su Yun could only look helplessly at the result. She’d known it would turn out like this.
Fine. Two good peaches and one rotten one.
She just had no idea what kind of ability “accelerates the progress of the main storyline” was supposed to be…
What Su Yun didn’t know was that this not-so-bright girl, Chen Shasha, had just seen herself being carried home in a bridal carry by her CEO, Chu Feng.
…
She’d finished assessing all three followers. Now it was Su Yun’s turn to make her entrance.
A flash of light passed.
A woman appeared before the three of them, blurred and indistinct at first. No—a goddess!
She wore luxurious, noble robes that moved as if stirred by a wind, and held a scepter—a symbol of supreme authority.
Looking closer…
The goddess’s face was breathtakingly beautiful, with a loveliness that didn’t seem meant for this world. Her overwhelming presence left them unable to summon even the slightest thought of defying or profaning her.
“A goddess?”
“Where are we?” the middle-aged, heavyset man, Xu Zhengchu, asked.
“This is the Salvation Space. You are the followers I summoned,” Su Yun replied slowly.
To the three of them, Su Yun’s voice sounded sweet and pleasant, yet it carried such imposing power that it shook them to their cores.
Only the girl who’d been eating duck neck earlier was different.
She stared at Su Yun with a puzzled look, as if she’d just remembered something.
“In three years, the world will face a great disaster. You who have been summoned—are you willing to help me stand against an extraterrestrial civilization?”
“You may choose to become my followers and receive divine blessings…”
“Or you may refuse. In that case, your memories of this time will be erased.”
Su Yun laid it all out. There was no need to hide anything.
A vast temple that didn’t belong in this world. A flawless goddess who seemed too perfect to be human. A supernatural power that could bring them to this strange space in an instant.
Every one of those things was extraordinary. Anyone else would have refused to believe it, no matter what they were told.
So when they heard that Earth would face a great disaster in three years and that she needed their help, their first instinct wasn’t to question whether it was true.
They chose to believe Su Yun outright.
After all, someone who looked so much like a goddess had no reason to lie to them.
“Divine Maiden, what kind of abilities can we gain?” the middle-aged man, Xu Zhengchu, asked.
“Just call me the Divine Maiden,” Su Yun replied.
“What is it you wish for?”
Divine Maiden was the identity listed in her attributes, so it made sense for her to call herself that. Besides, she wasn’t yet high enough in rank to be called a goddess.
What’s more, people on Earth called too many things “goddess.” Divine Maiden felt more fitting.
“Divine Maiden, I want to live longer—to reach a hundred, preferably even longer than that,” Xu Zhengchu said excitedly.
