Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

Shen Xingzhuo looked directly into Pei Jinyu's eyes, giving her the strength to climb out of this "hell".

Pei Jinyu nodded heavily, and the tendons and bones in his hand as he grasped Bai Jin's were now visible.

Shen Xingzhuo only slowly withdrew his gaze after Pei Jinyu's figure disappeared from the well.

She looked at Xiuyi, who was barely clinging to life on the ground.

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

His mission has failed, but the ghost stories... are too quiet.

Shen Xingzhuo pressed her aching temples, lowered her eyes, and began to examine these strange places.

She was almost certain that the mission Xiuyi received when she entered this ghost story was not the same as hers.

In the very beginning, Xiuyi and the chosen one who died young were tasked with playing the role of Liu Jin, deceiving her, and pushing forward the "history".

But from this perspective—

The significance of Xiuyi and the others entering the ghost stories became a stepping stone for her to pass the level.

"On behalf of Tianxia, ​​I successfully navigated two strange tales, leading to Tianxia's current leading position."

Even so, Tianxia's uniqueness has already attracted criticism from both the supernatural tales and other countries.

It was completely unnecessary to use the deaths of the other chosen ones.

To sow discord between Tianxia and other countries.

Shen Xingzhuo bit down hard on the soft meat in her mouth, her thoughts gradually becoming somewhat chaotic.

She couldn't understand the logic behind the supernatural tale of placing these two chosen ones in the same place as her.

They had neither the ability to become stumbling blocks nor the potential to stir up trouble in the world of ghost stories.

Is it just to destroy more countries?

Why go through all this roundabout ways? Wouldn't it be easier to simply increase the difficulty for other countries to access the supernatural tales and achieve the same goal?

Her conflicted gaze was magnified infinitely against the backdrop of the sky.

When Guan Shanyue saw that she was staring at Xiuyi without moving, she guessed that her logic might have reached a dead end.

She looked at Assistant Xu, who was reporting on his mission, and suddenly asked:

"Is this chosen one backed by the entire nation of artists?"

Upon hearing her question, Assistant Xu immediately nodded and retrieved the national information belonging to Yi.

"It's a tiny country." He paused, then continued, "But before the arrival of the ghost stories, the entire nation of Yi had cultivated many interstellar idols and exchanged a lot of usable resources with other countries."

That's why they survived the pioneering era.

Assistant Xu turned the page of the document.

The screen was covered with densely packed records of Yi Quanguo's previous achievements in ghost stories.

"They were lucky; most of the ghost stories they entered before were level B or C."

In addition, their previous chosen ones were all adept at handling the bizarre linear thinking in ghost stories and had a good effect on it.

Therefore, their success rate ranks very high throughout the entire intergalactic world.

The screen switched again, displaying the information of the chosen ones from across the country.

"Their chosen ones number only 12..."

Assistant Xu paused for a moment, his finger pointing at Xiu Yi's previous information on the chosen ones.

He asked疑惑地, "Strange, the previous chosen ones in the national talent show had no defeats! Why has it suddenly changed to this person?"

Guan Shanyue tapped his hands lightly and rhythmically on the table.

Assistant Xu's tone was somewhat grave. "This is the first time that the chosen one has been replaced even though they didn't fail."

"We need to review this with other countries to confirm whether this is an isolated incident or... a conspiracy targeting Starscorch!"

Otherwise, there's no reason why such an unprecedented situation would occur before meeting Shen Xingzhuo in the ghost story.

Guan Shanyue waved his hand.

"There's no rush yet."

Her eyes were fixed on the light screen.

"Let's use this second chance to connect with Xingzhuo!"
