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

Although he didn't understand the profound theories of the Xuanmen sect, Guan Shanyue gleaned a glimpse of the integrity of the Xuanmen members from the materials he searched for.

The end of the world was arguably the most severe natural catastrophe ever faced by humankind.

Most people struggle to survive in dire circumstances and can only sweep the snow from their own doorstep.

The few who can provide shelter for the poor and needy are mostly from the Taoist school.

Although countless historical materials have been lost to this day, among the surviving records—

The climate at that time was extremely unpredictable, sometimes reaching temperatures of 70 or 80 degrees Celsius, which would slowly kill people; other times dropping to minus 100 degrees Celsius, where people would instantly turn into ice sculptures if they left the shelter.

The number of people who died unjustly is recorded in countless volumes.

As a result, the world is filled with countless vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts.

Although Guan Shanyue did not experience the situation at that time, he could still sense that the ghostly aura spreading in the mortal world back then was no less than the eerie atmosphere that is rampant now.

When there are many evil spirits, chaos will surely ensue in the human world.

Humanity is on the verge of extinction.

What impressed Guan Shanyue the most was the Taoist who sacrificed himself in battle.

This is how it is recorded in history books—

Alone, she braved the scorching heat to leave the shelter and climb to the top of Thousand Machine Mountain.

Using essence and blood as a guide, they set up the "Nine Heavens Capital Seal Array," sealing all the vengeful ghosts from half of Tianxia's territory into the underworld.

Once the seal is complete, this person will cease to exist in the world.

Her body turned to dust and vanished with the wind.

When the officials arrived, they only saw a line of large characters carved into the rock face at the top of the mountain with powerful internal force.

Though personal connections may be lost, the mystical path endures.

May all people remember the word "Tao".

"In that case, I may depart in peace."

This short line left an indelible impression on Guan Shanyue.

This is why she chose to trust Shen Xingzhuo with unwavering determination after discovering his Xuanmen identity.

but now……

Guan Shanyue suddenly became frightened.

She feared that Shen Xingzhuo, like the person in the history books, would vanish without a trace.

Therefore, for the first time, she lost her sense of proportion and used the nation's fortune value to exchange for a moment of peace of mind.

Looking at Shen Xingzhuo's slender figure, Guan Shanyue's gaze was resolute.

She pressed further, "What's your plan?"

Shen Xingzhuo let out a long breath, "An eye for an eye."

After speaking, Shen Xingzhuo paused for a few seconds, then added with a deep gaze:

"I'm not just talking about Liu Jin, there's also..."

Lightning flashed in the air, carrying a threatening intent.

Shen Xingzhu saw this and stopped talking.

"In short... please rest assured, I will not risk my life to fill the holes created by others. What I want is justice, not rigid principles."

She smiled faintly, then suddenly remembered something and asked in quick succession:

"Have any Chosen Ones from other countries disappeared without a trace? How many are there? Have their identities been confirmed?"

"Now, in the now completely destroyed territories, are they empty cities, or have they been taken over by something strange?"

"Has anything suspicious happened near the spiritual spring?"

"Also, were there any abnormalities in the results from that instrument?"

The last question Shen Xingzhuo asked was about the data structure on the detection instrument of Pei Jinyu's aura that she had previously transmitted.

She hadn't been involved in the ghost stories for long, but the situation was changing rapidly.

Guan Shanyue wrote down all her questions and answered them one by one.

"There are no missing Chosen Ones in other countries, but we have noticed that some countries may have more than one Chosen One."
