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

"Trial?"

Upon hearing the words of the scalpel demon, Shen Xingzhuo was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

"I've followed the rules of ghost stories to get to where I am now, so I should have already achieved my ultimate goal."

"And regarding your so-called trial, I have only one question—" she said seriously, "Is it legitimate?"

【…】

Seeing its silence, Shen Xingzhuo pursed her lips.

"It can't be because you can't accept defeat, can it?"

These words completely enraged the other party.

Do you think I'm still the same idiot I used to be?

The ghost story "Guanyin Brocade" is a composite SS-rank ghost story. Do you remember which ghost stories it is composed of?

After a moment's thought, Shen Xingzhuo replied, "I remember, it consists of three ghost stories."

"The story of 'The Happy Life of Nine Babies in One Pregnancy' corresponds to Pei Xi and those eight little fleshy balls. They eventually merged into one, isn't that just like having nine babies in one pregnancy?"

"And there's 'Wedding in a Dream,' which corresponds to the wedding of Pei Jinyu and Liu Jin, and the process has already been completed normally."

"The last one..." she drawled, feigning recollection, "is 'Worshiping the Immortals.' Wasn't the entire eerie atmosphere of that ghost story created by the idols you used?"

"However, a demonic idol that sacrifices infant spirits dares to call itself a god? I haven't even settled accounts with it yet, and you're already judging me?"

Shen Xingzhuo also showed some anger at the end.

When she was a child, she often encountered evil practitioners when she went down the mountain with her master. These were the people she hated most in her life.

If it weren't for these morally bankrupt people, her master wouldn't have died in that disaster!

Yes, you're right, but did you actually go through with the wedding?

The person you married is the chosen one, not Liu Jin.

As soon as these bizarre and sophistical words were uttered, Liu Jin's body began to dissipate.

[You had the old Liu Jin killed by your own hands, so naturally he shouldn't exist now either.]

[Let me tell you, the secret to clearing the "Guanyin Brocade" level lies in sending Liu Jin to the ancestral hall for judgment. But... if it dissipates, what will you use to atone for your sins?]

[This is what I mean by judging you.]

Shen Xingzhuo, you lost.

If you lose, you have to accept it.

In the end, the ghost story faded away.

"Heh." Shen Xingzhuo laughed at its shamelessness.

Even the comments section was filled with people criticizing the ghost story for being shameless.

Wasn't it originally intended to create enemies for Tianxia by involving the chosen ones from other countries?

They've completely lost all sense of shame!

[Was the reason for not launching an attack back then to build up a huge wave at the end?]

So what do we do now?

[Family members, what's even more terrifying is that the real-time online user count is 20. The tale of Guanyin's Brocade also features 20 chosen ones from other countries! But where are they?]

【Wow!! I was terrified!】

[Calm down, everyone. Just look at Sister Shen's expression; she's not afraid.]

Yes! We believe in Sister Shen! Let's go to Sister Shen's temple to pray for her! Let's give Sister Shen strength!

……

Within the strange tale, Shen Xingzhuo's originally weak complexion gradually regained its color due to the power of faith.

Of course, they wanted to stop the strange tales, but in the laws of heaven and earth, evil cannot prevail over good, and they were powerless to stop them.

But seeing that Liu Jin's body was now almost transparent, it couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

Even if you recover your spiritual energy, what then? You are ultimately powerless to reverse fate.

Shen Xingzhuo smiled.

"Has anyone ever taught you that just spouting harsh words won't hurt anyone?"

After speaking, Shen Xingzhuo's expression turned serious.

"Isn't it just about using Liu Jin's own soul to atone for his sins?"

"I'll put in a little effort and dig it up from the bottom for you."
