Chapter 262 Spiritual Realm
In fact, when Jiang Lu tried to see if he could kill Yin Di while he was possessed by the devil, Yin Di had already noticed his misconduct.
But at that time all his energy was used to fight Nyarlathotep, and he had no energy left to deal with Jiang Lu.
However, he did not need to deal with it specially, because even if he borrowed An Dan's body and could mobilize the strongest divine power under the main god, Jiang Lu still could not break Yin Di's defense.
The swamp-like resistance that made him feel trapped was actually An Dan's passive protective energy.
Just this thing is enough to stop An Dan from conquering the Corpse Kingdom in his palm.
Although his main attention was on Nyarlathotep, he also paid some attention to Jiang Lu, wanting to see what he was going to do.
It’s a pity that all the conversations between Nyarlathotep and Jiang Lu were conducted through the special spiritual communication of the Outer Gods, so the Yin Emperor did not know that the two had reached a cooperation in just a short period of time.
He still took it for granted that Jiang Lu was just trying to kill the king.
Therefore, after the protective qi disappeared inexplicably, he was obviously panicked when he saw Jiang Lu shift his target from the back of his head to his forehead.
He was afraid that he would encounter something that was too familiar to him.
It’s just that the original perpetrator has become the victim this time.
I don't think you are qualified to say this.
Jiang Lu thought so and was completely amused by his words.
It is really too humorous that someone who got to power by being a traitor is now accusing others of being traitors.
At this moment, Jiang Lu couldn't even get angry. He felt more helpless because he was so disappointed and gave up on it that he was too lazy to pursue who was right or wrong.
He is like this, why not obey him?
So he just shook his head and said nothing, and Jiang Lu put his hand on Yin Di's forehead.
But in the blink of an eye, Jiang Lu had a strange feeling.
He felt his body getting lighter, as if it was floating gently upwards.
Looking down, he could even see An Dan's body.
The fat head had a dull expression and was drooling.
The body of Yin Di beside him stopped trembling.
Everything seemed to be frozen, and it would take a long time before it was refreshed, with extremely subtle changes appearing.
"This is the spiritual realm." A smiling voice suddenly sounded behind Jiang Lu.
Looking back, I saw a thin boy raising his head and grinning at me.
“The spiritual realm is the borderland between reality and fantasy, and it is a realm that only our clan can control.
Actually, I was talking to you just now, but you can't see me, and if you don't get my consent, you can't hear my voice. "
"Nyarlathotep." Jiang Lu slowly read out the name.
The little boy said kindly, "Now we are friends on the same front. You don't have to call me by my full name. To show intimacy, I allow you to call me Naya."
Jiang Lu tried to see through his hypocrisy from his kindness, but failed.
Jiang Lu was very sure that this was the other party's hypocrisy, but the other party disguised it too well. Although he wanted to find any suspicious point with his preconceived notions, he still found nothing.
It is hard to imagine how people who know nothing about him would be fooled if they saw him like this.
At this time, Nyarlathotep suddenly said: "However, I thought you were a person with a weak spirit, but your spirit really surprised me."
"What?" Jiang Lu was a little surprised.
"Look for yourself." Nyarlathotep took out a mirror from somewhere and placed it in front of Jiang Lu.
It’s hard to describe what Jiang Lu saw in his eyes.
It was, if you will, a sacred mass of filth.
It is called a filthy creature because its appearance is like a collection of all the most disgusting and frightening things in the universe, with tentacles dripping with mucus, densely packed compound eyes, an abyss-like mouth full of small teeth, skin with spots and holes, black barbed hairs on the skin, exposed bones, etc. Its composition is very complex.
Even the most powerful imagination seems unable to imagine how these elements can exist in a twisted and harmonious manner in the same individual.
However, such a bizarre and filthy thing actually exudes a holy glow on its surface. Under its illumination, it can bring an incomparable sense of security and salvation, making people feel as if it is just a kind god with a somewhat ugly appearance.
"I am curious," Nyarlathot asked, "Why is your mind like this?"
"Yeah, why is it like this?" Jiang Lu raised his tentacles and rubbed the cavity on top of his head: "What on earth has contaminated me?"
"I need to clarify this to you." Nyarlathotep corrected, "The appearance of the spirit cannot be affected by the outside world. The outside world can only affect your emotions. The distortion caused to the spirit is short-lived and minimal. The way your spirit looks shows that you are such a complicated person. Wait, this can no longer be called a human. I almost thought I saw one of my people."
"."
Damn, your words are so hurtful.
Jiang Lu was silent for a moment, then he looked down at Yin Di's gray head and changed the subject, "So, Naya, you didn't ask me to come here just to chat, did you? Look, your body is about to be squeezed out."
Only then did Nyarlathotep focus on the business.
"Yeah, that's true. Let's put other things aside for now."
He nodded, tiptoed and patted Jiang Lu's shoulder, then floated towards the Yin Emperor below:
"follow me."
As he spoke, he took Jiang Lu into Yin Di's spiritual world, which was also the battlefield where he and Yin Di fought for control of the body.
Jiang Lu thought he would see Nyarlathotep and Yin Di fighting in this spiritual world, but that didn't happen. He only saw a clear river and a small boat on the shore.
"Go up."
Nyarlathotep said, and then he jumped up.
The boat shook violently as he stepped on it, and he stretched out his arms and tried his best to keep his balance until the boat calmed down again.
Jiang Lu also jumped up and followed suit.
However, he was not in human form at the moment. In his spiritual form, he was much more bloated than a human. The boat could not accommodate all parts of his body, and a considerable part of it was squeezed outside the cabin, hanging above the river.
"Sit a little more in the middle, or the boat will capsize," Nyarlathotep warned.
So Jiang Lu had to move forward and sit in the center of the boat.
Then Nyarlathotep stood at the bow of the boat and began to row.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Lu was puzzled: "Didn't you ask me to help you break the balance and stop him from expelling you from his body?"
“Don’t say it so harshly. I don’t like the word ‘exclusion’.” Nyarlathotep sighed.
"If it's just a spiritual battle, even a hundred of them would not be my opponent. But the problem is not that. The problem is that his spiritual river has undergone a change and he has developed an obsession.
Obsession is something without consciousness, just like a mental patient who cannot be controlled. However, it is precisely such unstable things that can destroy the stability of the spiritual realm and cause cracks in my control.
I should have eliminated all potential threats long ago, but for some reason, this most difficult situation still occurred.
I have countless ways to erase the obsession, but there is only one way that can be achieved without destroying him, and this method requires the help of others, so I have to ask you for help. "
"So what do I need to do?"
Jiang Lu asked.
"What we have to do is find out why obsession arises."
Nyarlathotep replied:
“What you need to do is to extract all of his past events that may be related to his obsession from the long river of his mind, and then tamper with them.
But you have to note that this is not just a tampering of memory. There is no time in the spiritual realm, so changes in the spiritual river will affect reality.
Any change you make is actually determined by what he has actually done and experienced. It is equivalent to you standing at the present time node, but you can change any decision he made in the past, and through him change the past of the entire world.
Therefore, any slight change will cause a change in the trajectory of his life.
To give a simple example, a tree planted a thousand years ago could cause a person who takes shelter under the tree to be struck to death by lightning a thousand years later.
Jiang Lu probably understood: "It means I can change the past and influence the future?"
"Yes."
Although Nyarlathotep spoke in a light tone, Jiang Lu could sense the danger involved.
Among all the gods in the heavens and worlds, there is no one who can truly control time.
Even if there is, it is only the ability to make small changes within a short range.
For example, Jiang Lu used today's evil god's left hand to hit yesterday's glue. In fact, this is already a very supernatural ability. Although the damage is not great, it is something that many main gods cannot do.
The ultimate reason is that time is a forbidden area that cannot be touched.
As the only measure of all movement and change, if there is a problem with time, then everything measured by it will be affected to varying degrees, or even collapse.
But to hear Nyarlathotep talk about it, it seemed as simple as eating and drinking water, which made Jiang Lu feel inexplicably creepy.
Although he did not directly reverse time and change the past, Nyarlathotep could influence a person through the spiritual realm and indirectly change the past. Although the process was a bit troublesome, it was no different from playing with time.
In addition, he said that the spiritual realm is a realm that only their people can control, which means that the Outer Gods have more or less the ability to influence time, which is really too terrifying.
“Isn’t this technology too difficult?”
Jiang Lu hid his inner shock and pretended to be annoyed:
"Why don't you do this yourself and just let me row the boat."
“I want to do this, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work.” Nyarlathotep said helplessly, “I’ve been the one doing this all along, so if I continue to do this, it will not only fail to eliminate the obsession, but will make it more stressful and worse.”
"But I'm worried that I might cause trouble. What if I move something that I shouldn't move? Wouldn't that cause a big mess?" Jiang Lu was really a little scared.
Even someone as arrogant as him doesn't dare to play with time easily.
“It doesn’t matter. I can see all your operations here, and I will tell you what to do and what not to do.
And even if he made mistakes, it didn't matter. His obsession probably appeared before he became the main god. At that time, he had no ability and no qualifications to influence the overall situation, and it was impossible for him to cause too serious consequences.
The most urgent thing now is to get him back under my control, and other things can be discussed later."
Nyarlathotep encouraged.
"alright."
Jiang Lu no longer had any reason to refuse, and since he was already here, he began to pick up the fragments of his past from the spiritual river of the Yin Emperor as Nyarlathotep had said.
These fragments are like strips of film, recording all of Yin Di's experiences since birth.
Although he is also the Lord of the Underworld, he does not have Jiang Lu's extraordinary talents, nor does he die young like Jiang Lu.
He was born in an ordinary family in the underworld. Like all the people in the underworld, he grew up in an ordinary way, hoping to pass the exam and get a job that would ensure him no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life through hard work and practice.
He has been a person with a strong sense of justice since he was young. His dream is to become a judge in the court of justice and judge the souls who were sent to the underworld to be punished for their crimes after dying in the world of the living.
With his unremitting perseverance, he finally became an immortal at the age of 300, becoming the lowest-level ghost immortal and getting the opportunity to intern in the Judgment Department.
Compared with Jiang Lu's talent of striving to become a Lord God at the age of 30, this is nothing worth mentioning. However, his advantage is that he never compares himself with others and is always satisfied with everything at the current stage.
Having achieved his expectations, he did not ask for anything excessively. His only wish was to become a regular employee as soon as possible and hope to become a fair judge.
In the year when he was 350 years old and became the official Lord, Jiang Lu also became the Lord of the Underworld with an absolute advantage - nearly 90% support rate in the underworld.
All the processes were fair, just and open, and he was the true king at that time.
As for why so many people supported him, it was of course because Jiang Lu at that time had not yet cured his impotence, was devoted to cultivation, and never touched wine, sex, money, or power.
In everyone's eyes, he is a person who only cares about cultivation.
He is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much. This is exactly the kind of leader the underworld needs.
In the eyes of most people, a person who is excellent in one aspect must also be excellent in other aspects.
So all virtues, whether they existed or not, were attributed to him at once.
Jiang Lu was shaped into a nearly perfect person without even knowing it.
Yin Di, who was still a judge at that time, also cast a vote of support. He believed that Jiang Lu would be the one who led the underworld towards prosperity and justice.
Yin Di believed that Jiang Lu was different from the hypocrisy of the gods in heaven, and also different from the ignorance of mortals in the world. His short cultivation career conveyed only five words - absolute purity.
It seemed to him that he saw himself.
However, this also became the thing he regretted most in his life.
Yin Di never expected this.
This tall man whom he regarded as a role model and a benchmark, secretly smoked and drank! (End of this chapter)
