I logged into the God panel.

This is the second time Lu Daosheng's true form has entered the spirit world.

In a daze, in a hazy, confused state.

He took a deep breath, looked around at the chaotic colors, and placed the dressing mirror that he had brought into the spirit world on the ground—heaven knows why Lu Yu bought such a big dressing mirror; he was almost exhausted.

Look down into the mirror, activate your spiritual vision, and enhance your pure spirituality.

Even after removing the demon-like plastic mask, the eerie mark could still be seen on his forehead.

The dried corpse was slowly opening its eyes.

"Next..."

Lu Daosheng muttered to himself, put his mask back on, and carefully mobilized the chaotic spiritual energy around him, drawing it towards him.

One after another, swirling vortexes of color swayed and gathered.

What follows is a gentle murmur and whisper, soothing to the soul.

"compression."

He spoke solemnly, as if issuing a command.

Clusters of colors intertwined and overlapped, expanding ever larger, before collapsing and contracting inward.

The gentle murmur grew louder, and it seemed that there were spirit beings wandering nearby, but they let out painful roars after hearing the murmur.

finally.

Under Lu Daosheng's manipulation, more than a dozen vortexes of color compressed into the shape of a spear.

With the spear hanging high above his head, he looked up.

next second.

The spear fell.

The needle struck precisely on the cross mark on his forehead. Lu Daosheng let out a muffled groan, feeling a tearing pain in his forehead, followed by a low hiss and a wail!

It was the wailing of the dried-up corpse on the cross!

Wisps of smoke seemed to rise from his forehead, and the wails and cries of agony were quickly drowned out by a gentle murmur like the tide.

An intense warmth burst forth from my forehead, quickly spreading throughout my entire body!

Lu Daosheng let out a comfortable groan, then his expression changed.

In the mirror, the brand on his forehead was split in two, the cross remained, but the dried corpse on the cross had broken free of its restraints and was moving wildly, crawling... towards his brain, towards his mental world!

"Your mom!"

Lu Daosheng was shocked. He manipulated the chaotic spiritual energy to gather into a ball, trying to force out the dried corpse brand, but as soon as the chaotic spiritual energy got close...

The mummified corpse brand crawled even faster, as if searching for refuge...

That's how it crawled into Lu Daosheng's mind.

It climbed into the spiritual core within Lu Daosheng's brow, and into his spiritual world.

Lu Daosheng's expression changed. In the emergency, probably due to the high pressure, his vision blurred for a moment, and he actually managed to see his own mental world and clearly see the dried corpse!

Not just dried corpses.

There is also something illusory and vague.

God's Panel.

The God panel that appears whenever you think of it has always existed in your own spiritual world.

At the same moment.

The dried-up corpse that crawled in also saw the God panel.

To Lu Daosheng's astonishment, the dried corpse let out a mournful howl, blood tears streaming from its eyes. Then it curled up, writhing frantically, its already withered skin peeling off in clumps...

It is melting, it is evaporating.

It exploded into a wisp of smoke.

The brand... has faded away.

No, it hasn't completely dispersed.

As his will withdrew from the spiritual world, Lu Daosheng saw a wisp of green smoke rise from his forehead and dissipate into the void.

He pulled the mask down a little, revealing his forehead, and then looked in the mirror.

In the mirror,

The cross is still there, but the mummified corpse on it has disappeared.

It turned into that wisp of green smoke.

Lu Daosheng raised an eyebrow, his spiritual power condensed, and a thin layer of chaotic spirituality and babbling sounds enveloped this spiritual power as he cautiously probed towards the cross.

…………

Donghai City, northern suburbs.

In a tall building, a young man stood by the window, gazing into the distance through binoculars.

"Young Master," the butler approached quietly, "We've received news from the Church of the Sun regarding this sealed artifact in the mortal realm..."

Let me guess.

The young man laughed and said:

"Seal item 101, an inverted cross, is highly infectious. It leaves a brand on the forehead, which can be seen by those with clairvoyance, and those who look directly at the brand will also be infected?"

The old butler was taken aback:

"How did you know, young master?"

"Didn't I tell you? I have friends in Donghai City too." The young man shrugged, a thoughtful look on his face.

The shepherd was right after all, but he clearly looked like a complete novice who knew nothing...

Perhaps he received firsthand intelligence while working in a confidential agency in Donghai City?

That doesn't seem like it either. The shepherd doesn't even know the IP address; he seems like an old relic from the last century...

"The master has arranged a private jet and notified the Sun Church and the Crescent Moon Church in Donghai City. The two churches will send knights to escort you away," the butler said softly.

The young man curled his lip:

"He wields considerable power, so why won't he let me become a superhuman?"

The butler gave a wry smile:

"Young Master, the Master is the head of the Council, responsible for communicating and coordinating the conflicts and contradictions among the various churches in the Silver Moon Province. He knows how dangerous the extraordinary world is."

"The master's heart condition was also caused by the struggle among superhumans, and that's why..."

Tang Qingyang fell silent, then raised his binoculars again and looked into the distance.

"Young Master, don't look. Those sealed artifacts are so powerful; if you were to look directly at them, it could be dangerous..."

"It's nothing." Tang Qingyang pointed to the pendant around his neck: "Isn't this a talisman given to me by the Church of Earth? It's a fourth-tier alchemical creation, what's there to be afraid of?"

The butler chuckled, about to say something, when suddenly a violent, hysterical wail came from afar!

The wailing sound pierced his mind. Tang Qingyang groaned and rolled to the ground headfirst. The butler's expression also changed. He staggered and covered his head!

Meanwhile, far away.

One by one, church members collapsed and rolled on the ground, and many superhumans lurking in the shadows also let out low moans of pain.

Very few people can remain normal.

"It's... an upside-down crucifix!" Zhao Baiqin stood in the shadows, her expression grim. "What happened?"

She was somewhat anxious; the howling didn't affect her much, but the sound was clearly spreading.

Things are alright at home; the howling puppet is there, providing some protection. My husband just called to say he's still patrolling the streets, maintaining order...

Zhao Baiqin took a deep breath.

Meanwhile, in the distance, in another shadow.

Lu Tianyang's expression was extremely grim, and he too became anxious and restless. Fortunately, things were alright at home; he had added mithril to the cement during the renovation, so the howling shouldn't have much of an impact.

But my wife is still doing research at Tunghai University...

That brat Lu Yu hasn't come home yet!

He glanced sideways and whispered:

What happened to Sealed Artifact 101??

"My lord," the cultist whispered, "the four major churches have sealed off the area too tightly; it's impossible to observe anything concrete!"

Lu Tianyang pursed his lips:

"I'll go back first."

"My lord!" the cultist cried anxiously, "If you leave, we won't be able to compete with the four major churches and other extraordinary individuals for the sealed artifact 101..."

Lu Tianyang shook his head, reached out and tore open the portal to the spirit world, intending to use the spirit world to travel quickly home.

"Waaaaah!!!"

The howling suddenly turned into a piercing wail.

"My lord!" the believer exclaimed.

Lu Tianyang frowned and glanced to the side.

far away.

The sealing array jointly set up by the four major churches began to sway, then exploded with a deafening roar, and a pitch-black, upside-down cross was suspended in the air.

The dried-up corpse nailed to it was howling in agony, and black blood tears were flowing from its wounds!

"Wow!"

The cultists who witnessed this scene vomited violently, blood streaming from their eyes. Lu Tianyang felt a surge of anxiety.

He became even more worried, and half of his body squeezed into the portal to the spirit world, wanting to go home.

He paused in his steps.

"What...is that??"

Lu Tianyang stared dumbfounded at the distant Spirit Realm, where chaotic vortexes of color were surging and spinning wildly!

Beneath the swirling vortex of colors, he saw a blurry figure, dressed in a black robe, suspended in mid-air, with an illusory upside-down cross in front of him!

Lu Tianyang's expression changed, and he suddenly realized that the anomaly of the sealed artifact 101 was related to the mysterious person in the distance!

He unleashed his spiritual power, attempting to investigate the situation, but upon approaching, he was overwhelmed by the insane babbling surrounding the mysterious figure, causing his spiritual power to suddenly dissipate.

"Hmm..."

Lu Tianyang groaned, and a dense chorus of murmurs rushed in, forcing him out of the spirit world and back into reality.

Before he could catch his breath, the howling and crying abruptly stopped.

I glanced to the side and looked over.

The upside-down cross had somehow ended up hanging high in the air.

The four major churches still had members capable of action who took action, sending streams of energy and magic to seal it tightly, trying to drag it back into the sealed coffin!

"Timing!" Lu Tianyang murmured.

"Now!" Zhao Baiqin whispered.

Then came more extraordinary individuals, hidden in the shadows, who concealed their faces and identities, emerging from their slumber to fight for the sealed artifact 101!

The earth was torn apart, the clouds hung low, waves surged from the void, and a black giant rose from the shadows.

Then came the roar of lions and the bellow of elephants, accompanied by the thunderous roar of heartbeats!

Hanging upside down on the cross, the dried-up corpse nailed to it quietly opened its eyes.

The dried corpse stared wide-eyed at the chaos erupting in the northern suburbs:

Holy crap!

…………

Holy crap!

Lu Daosheng was stunned.

How did I turn into a... dried-up corpse?

wrong.

It doesn't turn into a dried-up corpse.

It seems that a part of my own spirit and will has 'possessed' the dried corpse?

No, not at all.

He stared blankly at the earth-shattering battle in the northern suburbs, yet he could also see the spirit world before him... Two perspectives coexisted!

The spirit and will retreated from the cross brand on the forehead, and the perspective of the dried corpse disappeared.

As his mental energy probed in again, the perspective of the dried corpse reappeared.

"It seems that each infected mark contains a wisp of the will of the cross-shaped mummy's original body... Its will was in my mind; it glanced at the God panel and then exploded."

Lu Daosheng muttered to himself:

"Even the sealed artifact 101, and the complete will of the mummified corpse hanging upside down on the cross... were destroyed?"

"What is this? Not being able to look God in the eye?"

He remembered that the old priest and the knight commander could sense the strength of Li Qiuhua's mental power, but not his own 3 points of mental power, and he seemed to understand something.

The spirit once again probed into the mark of the cross.

Lu Daosheng slowly opened his eyes.

The mummified corpse, bound and nailed to the cross, opened its eyes again.
