The moment he thought this might be the Rune Keystone, [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] instantly felt his aches and pains vanish – his back wasn't sore, his legs didn't hurt, and his head wasn't dizzy anymore.

  He scrambled up excitedly, ignoring the blood trickling down his forehead, and wiped the dust off the stone in front of him.

  On its surface, a faint yet intricate pattern was revealed.

  It was identical to the Rune Keystone pattern shown in the quest issued by Su Xiao!

  "Holy crap! I found the Rune Keystone! I actually fucking found the Rune Keystone! My luck's turned! My luck's finally turned!""I'm the first one to complete the quest! Hahaha..."

  [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] yelled out in excitement.

  Seeing the Undead Scarecrow closing in from behind, he bolted, his speed surprisingly much faster than before.

  "Xiao Shen! Xiao Shen! I found the Rune Keystone! I completed the quest!"Spotting Su Xiao nearby, [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] waved his arms and dashed towards him.

  Su Xiao had noticed him too, and excitement flared upon hearing the news.He found it! That's fantastic!

  "Holy crap, Diao Bro actually found it? That's awesome!""Diao Bro's the man! The first big shot to finish the quest!"The other players nearby all showed expressions of shock.

  "You few," Su Xiao instructed the nearby players, "Lure away the scarecrow chasing [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao]. He and I are going to establish the Main God Temple."

  The players' faces instantly darkened, their smiles vanishing.However, they knew establishing the Main God Temple was the priority, so they could only bite the bullet and agree.

  "Hey Scarecrow! Your grandpa is over here! Come and kill me!""Grandpa will fight you with one finger tied behind his back, and you still won't kill me!"

  It had to be said, these players weren't much in terms of actual combat ability, but their trash-talking skills were formidable.The scarecrow was actually provoked, charging towards them at a speed even faster than before.

  "Quick, take me there," Su Xiao urged [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao].

  "Can we rest for a bit? I'm exhausted," [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] felt like his whole body was about to fall apart.

  The next moment, he found himself being lifted up by Su Xiao."I'll carry you. Just point the way."

  "Holy crap! Xiao Shen, you're awesome! So manly!""Xiao Shen, I love you! Marry me! Aishiba!!"The burly man roared while flailing wildly in the air...

  Following [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao]'s directions, Su Xiao quickly arrived at the location of the Rune Keystone."It really is the Rune Keystone."

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Su Xiao tossed [Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] aside. A wisp of divine power flowed from his palm, clearing the debris surrounding the Rune Keystone.A circular stone disc lay revealed, etched with strange runes that emanated an ancient, weathered aura, somewhat resembling a sealing circle from an anime.

  "Is this the Rune Keystone?""Could there be a terrifying demon sealed inside?""Eye of the Wicked Lord, activate! Seal King Formation Wheel! Reality, be rent! Synapse, break! Vanish, this world! In the name of Sakura, I release your seal!"[Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] exclaimed dramatically from the side.

  Su Xiao: "..."Damn it, Su Xiao thought, this is the legendary chuunibyou, an extremely severe case!

  He completely ignored the chuuni guy and bit his own finger.A drop of faintly golden blood dripped from his finger onto the Rune Keystone.

  The Rune Keystone served as the energy core for the Main God Temple, connecting to the Main God's mind through a blood offering.Once activated, it could continuously draw energy from the heavens and earth to power and protect the Main God Temple.Therefore, the Rune Keystone was crucial, especially for safeguarding the Main God Temple during invasions by external enemies.

  The Rune Keystone before Su Xiao was only the lowest grade, providing minimal energy and protection to the temple.But Su Xiao had no choice but to make do with it for now. After all, Rune Keystones were incredibly expensive. He could replace it later when he found a better one.

  A faint glow emanated from the Rune Keystone, linking with Su Xiao's mind.

  "Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the quest. Reward: 1x SSR Main God Temple."

  【SSR Main God Temple】Overview: A mysterious ancient temple from a bygone era, wreathed in mystical power.Level: 1-StarBase: Can accommodate soul-binding for 200 SSR-quality believers.Properties: 1. Cultivation techniques and combat skills trained within have their speed doubled. 2. Can be relocated by expending sufficient Faith Origin Power.

  Su Xiao was stunned!An SSR-rank Main God Temple!The higher the quality of the Main God Temple, the greater the attribute increases upon future level-ups.It seemed no one in Shenmu City had a Main God Temple that reached SSR rank; he hadn't even heard of any S-rank ones.The crucial part was the cultivation speed boost and, even more incredibly, the ability to relocate it.Su Xiao had never heard of any Main God Temple that could be moved before.What was the benefit of relocation? If he ever encountered an overwhelmingly terrifying enemy attacking him, he could escape with the Main God Temple. Instead of being besieged and violently overwhelmed.

  "In the name of this God, establish the Main God Temple!"Su Xiao chanted the words.

  Instantly, a fierce wind swept up as a massive, majestic temple erupted from the ground centered on Su Xiao, rising swiftly like bamboo shoots after rain.The Main God Temple shimmered with divine light, impossibly tall. Its main gate alone was nearly 10 meters high, a truly shocking sight.

  "Ding! Main God Temple successfully established!"

  "Quest: Explore the surrounding area and expand the God Domain's range to 50 square kilometers.""Reward: Unknown."

  The system issued another quest to Su Xiao at this time.However, Su Xiao had no time to worry about that for now; he first had to deal with the God Trial.

  "Attention all players: The Main God Temple will now bind your souls. After soul-binding, death in the game will allow you to resurrect in the Main God Temple.""The Main God Temple is everyone's base of operations. Remember to protect it well. If the Main God Temple is destroyed, your powers will vanish permanently!"Su Xiao sent a message to each believer player through the system, including this reminder.

  Then, he controlled the Main God Temple to initiate the soul-binding process with the players.

  "Holy crap, we can resurrect now!""I can resurrect! I finally don't have to wait three hours anymore!""Can I solo the scarecrows now? Bring on the pain!""..."

  The believer players were all thrilled.

  "Hahaha! This is all thanks to your Diao Bro's contribution!""I feel so accomplished!"[Quan Shen Dou Shi Diao] danced around excitedly, jumping and hopping.

  But he failed to watch his step, missed his footing, and slammed his forehead heavily onto a rock, kicking the bucket once again!
