The Third Sanctuary was established much earlier than the Eighth Sanctuary, so its level of technology, as well as its experience in dealing with Evil Gods, is far superior to that of the Eighth Sanctuary.
Even, they had scientifically classified Evil God invasions into four urgent types: Summoning, Possession, Clone, and Descent.
Summoning is the most common level, and it's the way most Evil Gods interact with the real world.
Typically, it involves an Evil God cultivating Believers in the real world through various ans, after which the Believers conduct rituals, using "sacrificial offerings" as the "price" to summon the Evil God.
This level of invasion does not require intervention from the Security Bureau and the Political Departnt.
Because, the Evil Gods summoned with "sacrificial offerings" as the "price" can only communicate with the real world. Or they may briefly use power close to that of a First-Order Catastropher.
Not only is the power they can utilize small, but their existence is also very brief and does not have much impact on the real world.
Therefore, Sanctuaries will pay attention, but will not intervene too much—most they will do, after the Evil God has returned, is to round up their Believers in one fell swoop.
Compared to "Summoning," the next level, "Possession," is much more serious.
"Possession" is when the Evil God descends their consciousness and a portion of their power into the real world through a "sacrificial offering" or a "dium."
They impose their consciousness onto the "sacrificial offering" or "dium." Using the "sacrificial offering" or "dium" as the cost, they wield their power.
This level of Evil God invasion necessitates imdiate elimination by the Security Departnt and the Political Departnt upon discovery to avoid more severe consequences.
The previous Larilo was an invasion of this level.
Aside from "Summoning" and "Possession," the third level of invasion is called "Clone."
This level of invasion is extrely serious.
"Boundless Heart Sea" being a Spirit World, whether it's "matter" or "power," to bring it into the real world requires paying a "price."
The stronger the power descending, the higher the "price" that must be paid.
Thus, for an Evil God to invade, they must try to "save" on the "price" in any way they can.
Like "Summoning" and "Possession" involve using Believers or things from the real world to "save" on the price.
While "Clone" and "Descent" do not try to save at all, they forcibly pay the price and descend "a part of themselves" or "their entire being" into the real world.
The advantage of this degree of invasion is... it doesn't require insiders in the real world, and although the strength might wane due to the transported forces, the Positional Fra still remains that of the Main Body's.
Many common Cataclysmic treasures or Catastrophe Powers are ineffective against it.
However, there are also several disadvantages.
The first drawback is that it consus a lot of power, and the second is that it's difficult to conceal—after all, the power of the Evil God is like a firefly in the dark in the real world, which can be easily detected by the Security Departnt and the Political Departnt.
Therefore, many Evil Gods will combine the second and third types of invasions, "Possession" and "Clone."
Firstly, they use "Clone" to forcibly Descend, and then they find a suitable vessel to forcibly "Possess."
In this manner, since there's a physical body from the real world to conceal them, it becos very difficult for the Security Departnt and the Political Departnt to find any related clues—like last night, Guan Xiao and Miao Xiaoxiao didn't detect any traces of Cataclysmic Power.
But this thod also leaves traces...
Shen Lingshuang's brain raced as she carefully recalled the content her father had casually explained to her...
She rembered her father once saying that the thod of invasion by an Evil God's "Clone," due to the "Evil God" being too powerful, is actually sothing ordinary people are unable to bear—having such an Existence attached to their body and Soul.
Therefore, probably to vent that force or possibly under the influence of the "Evil God's" aura, they often exhibit certain traits!
For instance... soone who has never been to school, yet can recite dozens of poems.
Or... soone who is bad at math suddenly knows very advanced mathematical knowledge overnight.
Or... soone who cannot paint suddenly can produce extrely beautiful paintings.
Besides these external displays of talent, a person possessed by an Evil God might also suddenly beco obsessed with sothing and unable to extricate themselves, consuming their spirit every day.
—This too is to release the stimulation of the Evil God on their Soul.
As for thods to deal with "Clone" invasions... Shen Lingshuang rembered there seem to be two ways.
One is exorcism. This thod is straightforward; it involves gathering masters and forcibly executing the person possessed by the Evil God, and then destroying the Evil God's Clone.
The second is... encirclent and rescue.
Shen Lingshuang rembered her father coming ho very happy once.
Because after half a year of planning, they had finally succeeded in killing an Evil God.
So, Shen Lingshuang had inquired about the process out of curiosity.
Possibly because her father was happy, he explained to Shen Lingshuang in detail.
Turns out, the "encirclent and rescue" thod took advantage of the Evil God Clone's connection to the Main Body and the characteristic that to descend power from the Boundless Heart Sea requires a colossal "price."
Several masters deliberately consud the Evil God Clone's power in the real world, then gave the Clone the hope of escape.
They allowed the Evil God Clone to continue transferring power from the "Boundless Heart Sea" non-stop.
Since each transfer requires paying a "price," the more the Evil God transmits, the more it consus.
