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

Shen Xingzhuo once had a deep conversation with Guan Shanyue.

Before her appearance, the citizens of Tianxia Kingdom, like the citizens of other countries now, had been subjected to a high degree of spiritual pollution by the pervasive eerie atmosphere.

This pollution not only makes people violent and unpredictable, but it also directly affects a person's intelligence, causing the brain to gradually rust until it becomes unable to think.

This is why, before she arrived in the interstellar world, almost no one was able to complete the storyline of the ghost stories.

However, due to her talent, she secured the Spirit Spring for the Tianxia Kingdom during the Talent Reflection process.

Nourished by spiritual energy, people with reasoning abilities emerged among the citizens of Tianxia Kingdom—the first pioneers to enter the world of supernatural tales.

They had also seen Shen Xingzhuo's live broadcast from the sky, and Shen Xingzhuo had also provided several talismans that could resolve the crisis.

This significantly increased their success rate in manipulating online rankings through ghost stories.

Shen Xingzhuo twirled the end of her hair, deep in thought, and spoke:

"The supernatural tales may not allow Tianxia Kingdom to dominate, nor will they allow Tianxia Kingdom to gain an advantage in the supernatural tale rankings... But I think that Qianling and the others' safety is at least not a concern."

Guan Shanyue nodded in agreement.

"But the Spirit Spring..."

Guan Shanyue looked at Assistant Xu, signaling him to begin his report.

"Three large spiritual springs and five small spiritual springs have already formed within our star system. I have personally investigated the situation and have safely evacuated and relocated nearby residents to the purified urban area."

Assistant Xu pulled up several pictures, then swiped to open the Star Map.

"At the same time, information transmitted back from us and the advance team shows that the formation of the spiritual spring is not random, but rather it forms an 'encirclement' that concentrates and locks together areas within our country that are severely polluted and plagued by strange invasions."

On the light screen, there were several areas of hellish darkness that were unusually glaring.

"Under the guidance of the command center, our advance team has concentrated and begun the transfer of these personnel. However..."

Assistant Xu's expression was gloomy.

"The methods used in this area are ruthless and their strength far surpasses that of other districts. Therefore, we are now somewhat... deep inside."

He didn't say the words "helpless".

After all, their conversation with Shen Xingzhuo was still clearly transmitted across the country through the sky.

Such blunt and disheartening remarks, if heard by those awaiting rescue, could likely backfire.

Shen Xingzhuo nodded, indicating that he understood.

[Sister Shen, Captain Guan, don't worry, I'm from the contaminated area! If... we'll take care of ourselves!]

Yes! We can't contribute to the country right now! But at least we won't become a burden on it!

[At this time of national crisis, Sister Shen, Team Leader Guan, and all the advance team members who are working hard for us! Go forward boldly!]

Comments from people trapped in the contaminated area appeared in the live chat.

Guan Shanyue's throat tightened, and he read these comments aloud to Shen Xingzhuo.

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes reddened, and she nodded.

Seeing the low morale, Guan Shanyue encouraged everyone, "Have faith in our advance team! And have faith in our country! I assure you, we will do our utmost to bring you out of the contaminated area!"

Shen Xingzhuo then responded, "Please believe me too! These days of despair will soon be over."
