Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

The real world is very different from the plots in novels. There are rarely any irrational fools here.

"Does that Heavenly Master have the potential to impart extraordinary powers?" Team Leader Cao nodded slightly and responded, "This is exactly what we want to find out."

"We will mention this to the Heavenly Master during our next meeting." Lin Nan left the Sanqing Temple, his figure disappeared into the air, and he began to overlook the scene below.

Suddenly, a burst of crying and shouting reached his ears. Lin Nan slowly descended from the clouds, but did not reveal his figure.

Below, I saw a young man drowning while trying to save someone who fell into the water.

At this moment, his body has been salvaged and many relatives who have come to mourn have gathered around him, with cries of grief and shouts ringing out one after another.

Lin Nan's eyes flickered slightly, and the divine light flowed within him, allowing him to see a unique scene.

Above the young man's body, a dazed figure was floating there.

“In modern society, souls still exist, but there is no so-called netherworld.

Therefore, after death, the soul will soon fall into eternal silence, and there is no possibility of even turning into a ghost. "

"Even if I want to see souls, I need to open the 'Golden Eyes of the Sun'."

Lin Nan landed quietly, but the people around him seemed to not see him at all. He waved his hand gently, and the young man's soul seemed to be guided by something and floated in front of him.

"Due to the limitations of the heaven and earth environment, even if the soul leaves the body at this moment, the consciousness is still ignorant and there is no wisdom at all."

Lin Nan raised his hand and gently touched the forehead of the young soul. The next moment, there was a hint of light in the eyes of the young soul.

"This... where is this? What happened to me?" The young man's soul was confused for a moment before he gradually realized that he had died and had turned into a soul.

He rushed back and wanted to say something to his relatives and friends, but found that no matter how he shouted, no one could hear him or see him.

After a long while, he calmed down and began to think about what had happened. Suddenly, he discovered a blind spot. He saw Lin Nan, a Taoist priest, standing there, nodding slightly.

The young soul was shocked to realize that the other party could actually see him.

"Are you calm now?" Lin Nan asked.

The young man was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lin Nan was talking to him. But the strange thing was that while Lin Nan was standing there talking, the people around him seemed to be ignoring him and turning a deaf ear to him.

"Are you... a ghost too?" the young soul couldn't help but ask.

"No, you are a ghost, and I am an immortal." Lin Nan responded indifferently.

"Immortal?" The young man was shocked, but at this moment he had realized that his existence was special, and he was not unable to accept the existence of immortals.

The young man couldn't help but ask: "Can the immortal save me?"

"It can be saved, but there is no need anymore." Lin Nan shook his head.

Seeing the young man's lost expression, Lin Nan continued, "But I can give you an opportunity."

"Can't you save me?" The young man murmured to himself. Hearing that Lin Nan couldn't save him, he didn't continue to ask.

Seeing this, Lin Nan had a little appreciation for this young man. If a weak person seeks help from a strong person and gets nothing, he may complain. This is human nature. The more this happens, the more precious some of this young man's qualities are.

"Aren't you curious about what opportunity and fortune I am going to give you?" Lin Nan asked the young man with a smile.

"What kind of chance and destiny?" asked the young man.

"A chance for you to be reborn."

Having said that, Lin Nan turned around and left without saying anything more. However, he did not show any strange abilities, nor did he use the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch or traveling a thousand miles in one step.

The young man hesitated and struggled. He looked back and saw his relatives crying and shouting around his body, with many onlookers around. On the other side, Lin Nan was gradually disappearing.

The young man hesitated and struggled with his thoughts. Finally, he gritted his teeth and followed Lin Nan.

Not long after, he caught up with Lin Nan.

"Master, what can I do for you?" the young man caught up with Lin Nan and asked.

"Follow me." Lin Nan waved his hand, and the young man was suddenly dazzled, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be flying backwards.

In just a blink of an eye, they were already in another place.

"This is..." The young man was not confused and immediately recognized the surrounding environment. It was a hospital. Moreover, it was the intensive care unit of the hospital.

There was crying and shouting in the intensive care unit because the doctor had just issued a notice that "rescue was ineffective."

The young man saw the patient inside, lying on the bed. Then, a shadow slowly floated out from his body.

"Is this the soul leaving the body after death?" The young man guessed, then looked at Lin Nan and asked him what this meant.

"Watch." Lin Nan replied.

Inexplicably, the young man became quiet and watched quietly. The people around him could not see them, nor could they hear their conversation.

The young man looked at the patient who had just died. Although his soul was floating outside his body, he seemed very dull and confused.

"What's going on?" The young man was filled with doubts. He looked at the patient's soul, which was very different from his own. However, he could only keep these doubts in his heart and could not raise them at this moment.

The young man watched quietly, and suddenly realized something was wrong. The patient's soul was gradually dissipating, and his figure gradually faded. Unconsciously, the patient's soul had disappeared.

"This..." The young man was greatly shocked and could not help asking, "Master, what happened?"

"Let's take another look." Lin Nan took him and did the same thing to look at the condition of a person who had just died.

It was the same as before. After his soul left his body, it was confused and seemed to have no wisdom. Then it quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.

After looking at it this way, the young man was sure that this situation was not an isolated case. This also made the young man accumulate more and more questions.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what happened? Why did the souls of these people disappear? Did they go to the 'underworld'?"

"No." Lin Nan gave him a negative answer, "There is no underworld." "No underworld, what do you mean?" The young man was very confused, "If there is no underworld, where did these souls go?"

"Eternal silence, forever extinct." Lin Nan's answer made the young man's face change. He thought of something and couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "Is that what eternal silence means?"

"Yes, this world no longer has the underworld, and there is no environment for the soul to exist. Therefore, the soul state cannot survive forever in this world. It will soon consume its energy and then dissipate forever."

"This..." The young man was shocked by this incident, but he thought about himself and said, "Then why am I..."

The young man originally wanted to ask why he could exist uniquely and have wisdom.

Before he finished asking, he thought of the Taoist priest in front of him, who was an "immortal". Naturally, his thoughts drifted to Lin Nan, so he did not answer Huang's question.

Lin Nan seemed to have read his mind and gave a positive answer: "The reason you didn't fall into eternal silence is naturally because you met me."

"I wiped away your ignorance, and you have always been by my side." There was a hint of deep meaning in Lin Nan's words.

"Don't you notice anything different around me?" Lin Nan asked again.

After hearing these words, the young man suddenly realized.

He had faced a decision before - whether to follow Lin Nan. At that time, Lin Nan left and he chose to follow, partly because Lin Wenle's departure made him feel a dull pain in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why he felt sad. At the same time, a trace of fear surged in his heart.

"If I hadn't followed the Taoist priest at that time, would I have fallen into eternal silence and no longer be able to exist in this world?" the young man couldn't help but ask.

Lin Nan nodded slightly and said, "You chose to follow me. This is fate and destiny."

This made the young man even more emotional, and at the same time he fell into deep thought - what virtue and ability did he have to deserve such special treatment?
He did not bury this doubt deep in his heart, but asked directly: "Master, I wonder what you want me to do?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Lin Nan waved his hand, and the two of them instantly rose from the ground and soared into the sky, breaking away from the constraints of the hospital and the hustle and bustle of the city, and arriving high in the sky.

At this moment, they seemed to be standing on the clouds, overlooking the original city. Everything seemed so small and insignificant.

Before the young man recovered from the shock, he heard Lin Nan's voice: "I want you to cooperate with me."

"Cooperate for what?" the young man asked.

"Do an experiment." Lin Nan replied briefly.

The young man agreed without any hesitation or thought.

"My name is Wang Xuan. I am good at swimming, but I eventually died in the water. As the saying goes, those who are good at swimming are often drowned by water." Wang Xuan said self-deprecatingly.

"But I don't regret it, because before I drowned, I saved two children who fell into the water and saved two families. I just feel a little regretful that my life has not yet come to an end." There was a hint of helplessness in his words.

"I never expected that after death, I would be able to glimpse the essence of the world and meet the legendary immortal. The immortal pulled me out of my ignorance and prevented my soul from falling into the pain of eternal silence. Naturally, I have no way to repay him, so when the immortal asked me to cooperate with the experiment, I agreed immediately." Wang Xuan's words were full of gratitude.

However, he did not expect that the experiment that the immortal asked him to cooperate with was actually...

"Master, what should I do?" Wang Xuan asked Lin Nan.

"You don't have to do anything, just wait patiently." Lin Nan looked up and then explained to Wang Xuan what he was going to do.

"In modern times, there is no underworld, nor is there an environment for souls to exist. So, I thought, since there is none, can we try to create a similar environment?" There was a hint of expectation in Lin Nan's words.

Hearing this, the young man was both surprised and puzzled. He was surprised that Lin Nan was actually going to "re-create the underworld"; he was puzzled that even if Lin Nan wanted to create another underworld, it seemed to have nothing to do with him...

Lin Nan seemed to see his doubts and said, "If we want to create a similar environment, we must have an 'anchor'."

"Just like when Hou Tu turned into reincarnation, she used herself as the anchor. Just like some of the gods in the legend, they can also create a similar 'subspace', which can also be called the small underworld. And this situation can only be opened up with the existence of these gods as the anchor and foundation."

"So, to some extent, the stability of the created space is closely related to the existence of the 'anchor'." There was a hint of deep meaning in Lin Nan's words.

When Wang Xuan heard this, he immediately understood his role and realized that this was indeed a great opportunity and fortune for him.

Without waiting for Wang Xuan to react, Lin Nan had already thrown up the 'Yangping Zhidu Gongyin'.

In modern society, the Yangping Zhidu Seal can no longer mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but by infusing Lin Nan's magic power into it, it can still produce some strange effects.

The light of the Yangping Zhidu seal enveloped Wang Xuan.

At the same time, behind Lin Nan, a talisman floated up. It was the 'Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman' that was personally bestowed upon him by the Supreme Being to establish the foundation of his Taoist temple.

"In the modern world, although the ordination can have an effect in other worlds, it has no foundation to work in the modern world. This is because there is no vital energy of heaven and earth in the modern world, and there can be no interaction between heaven and earth. However, my existence can serve as the source of this supply." Lin Nan thought to himself.

As Lin Nan's thoughts moved, the 'Nine Extreme Alliance Power Talisman' behind him suddenly flipped.

Each of the names above is dim at this moment, indicating a lack of communication.

If the Mengwei Talisman is regarded as a phone book, and the names on it are all contacts, then now that these names are dim, it means that all the contacts are in an 'offline' state.

However, as the seal of the law enveloped and Lin Nan's incantation of the heavenly law sounded, "In the name of Lin Nan, I appoint Wang Xuan as the City God of Licheng. Command!"

In the Journey to the West world, when Lin Nan gave an order, heaven and earth would resonate. But here, when Lin Nan's words fell, heaven and earth did not react at all.

However, under the encouragement of Lin Nan's magic power, some resonance was still generated.

Wang Xuan's name also slowly appeared on the 'Nine Extremes Alliance Power Talisman'.

At the same time, Wang Xuan also felt the changes in himself.

Originally, after he turned into a soul, he no longer felt any sense of his own existence, only a light and floating feeling.

But at this moment, he clearly felt that his existence had become much more solid, and his original clothes were quickly changed into another set, which seemed to be an ancient official uniform.

"This..." Wang Xuan was shocked, feeling the changes in himself.

Lin Nan also looked at the changes in Wang Xuan and nodded slightly: "In modern times, it is still possible to enthronize gods, but it is entirely necessary to use one's own power. Even its subsequent existence requires my power to maintain. I just don't know if the incense in the real world can support its existence." Lin Nan's idea has yet to be verified.

Since he started practicing, he has always been on the right path. Although he has not yet dabbled in the path of incense worship, he is not unfamiliar with it. Because too many Taoist gods rely on incense. (End of this chapter)
