Zhutian Panlong: They've all become gods, and they're only just joining the chat group.

The Heavenly Puppet, located within the Ghost Domain, tentatively used the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Attraction on Ye Zhen, but it did not feel any attraction to him.

Sure enough, that guy had already moved. What appeared before him was just an illusion.

Soon, a hissing sound came from the armor on the Heavenly Dao Puppet.

It was attacked.

Fortunately, this armor is at least a mid-level divine artifact, and it also has resistance to damage at the level of laws.

Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to withstand this attack.

Richard thought for a moment and realized he needed to first restrain the other party's omnipresent ability.

This vast ghostly realm is troublesome. Richard used his puppets to cast a massive seal, completely sealing off the entire ghostly realm. Everyone, please refrain from using spatial abilities.

Ye Zhen naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. He launched several attacks, but unfortunately, they were all only physical attacks. Even his various deadly abilities had to be used physically, and they were all blocked by the defensive artifacts on the puppet.

Richard finally sealed off the entire space, revealing Ye Zhen's figure.

The Heavenly Puppet swung its sword, cleaving Ye Zhen's body, which had been corrupted by supernatural forces, in two.

But soon, the scapegoat ability activated, and Ye Zhen was unharmed again.

He no longer needs ordinary people to bear the cost of his own death; instead, he can die in his own body or in the body of other ghosts, or even directly in the body of a substitute ghost.

This forms a logical closed loop: the more scapegoats are used, the more dormant the ghost within him becomes, even to the point of crashing.

Throughout the entire mysterious resurrected world, Ye Zhen's opportunities are exceptionally abundant.

Everyone else is at risk of the ghost resurrecting and must struggle to solve this problem.

Only Ye Zhen, who controlled a special scapegoat, had virtually no risk of the vengeful ghost resurrecting from the very beginning.

Once he develops his ability to substitute for others to the point where he can use the substitute ghost itself to take someone's place, there will be no longer any risk of the vengeful ghost resurrecting.

This way, the scapegoat can be used as the core to control other vengeful spirits.

Of course, the combined supernatural abilities of the other vengeful spirits you control cannot exceed those of the substitute spirit, otherwise there is a risk of the substitute spirit resurrecting if it cannot be suppressed.

Clearly, Ye Zhen was now almost at his complete form.

To raise his potential further, he would need to either develop a more powerful ability for the scapegoat or find the complete puzzle piece for it.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve greater improvement.

"Little Li, it's no fun with that turtle shell on your head. Why don't you take it off?" Ye Zhen said helplessly, the two of them were now locked in a war of attrition.

Ye Zhen couldn't do anything about the armor on the Heavenly Dao Puppet, and Richard also had no good way to deal with Ye Zhen's ability to take the fall.

Or rather, he had some ideas, but dared not try them. What if he really killed this guy?

"Why wouldn't I use the equipment I have?" Richard's voice was somewhat distorted, as if it were coming from all directions.

"Fine, fine, you forced me to do this." After saying that, Ye Zhen slashed at himself with his sword, leaving a huge wound on his body.

Soon, the substitution ability was activated, and the target of the substitution was the Heavenly Path Puppet on the opposite side.

The material defense artifact on the Heavenly Dao Puppet failed to work this time.

The same wound burst open on the Heavenly Dao Puppet.

Richard's eyes lit up; this was a good idea.

He raised his hand and healed the wounds on the Heavenly Dao Puppet. What would be a fatal wound for an ordinary person was merely a minor injury for the Heavenly Dao Puppet.

After recovering, the Heavenly Dao Puppet beckoned to Ye Zhen. The meaning was clear: continue.

Ye Zhen had no choice but to continue. He launched another attack, and another wound appeared on the Heavenly Dao Puppet.

Richard carefully sensed the entire process of the man's attack.

Does it have a hint of cause and effect, or fate? It seems to be a way of transferring one's own fate of being attacked onto others from a causal perspective.

The core ability of this scapegoat is actually related to cause and effect, right?

This is different from the rules of fate in the Panlong world. At least with Richard's current level of understanding of the rules of fate, he cannot perform such exquisite causal operations.

Perhaps he will be able to do it when he comprehends more profound rules of fate in the future?

After several attempts, Richard roughly determined the application of the laws involved in the scapegoat.

Knowing this is one thing, but trying to analyze it based on this is wishful thinking.

However, beating this guy is quite simple; he has at least two ways. It's time to end this sparring match, otherwise, will Ye Zhen really think he can't do anything to him?

For example, in the simplest case, Richard glared at Ye Zhen, and Ye Zhen immediately went blank and started awkwardly dancing on the spot.

Richard used the chat group's virtual recording function to record a video for him and sent it to the group.

Bao'er: Great job, deserves a reward. [Red Envelope (Click to Open)]

Richard opened the red envelope and a 5-cent coin fell out.

Then the other divers were also instantly blown out.

They all took out their wallets to tip.

There was a small piece of silver.

There is a coin with 50 Berries.

There was also a small piece of gold.

Xia Mi: Is this guy really that bad? Then why is he so arrogant in the group chat all the time?

Of course she could tell that Ye Zhen was being manipulated by illusions.

However, she'll only gloat; don't expect her to sympathize with this guy.

It's all because Ye Zhen acts like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) in the group chat all the time, and he also criticizes her from time to time.

Richard: It's not that it's weak, it's just that its shortcomings are too obvious.

Even Ah Wu, an honest man, took out his phone and recorded a video for his boss.

After they had played around enough, Richard finally released Ye Zhen from the illusion.

After regaining consciousness, Ye Zhen immediately realized what had just happened.

After all, he had clearly lost consciousness for a period of time.

I also saw the video in the group.

"Old Li, this is no fun. We should have a real, hand-to-hand combat. What's the point of this underhanded scheming?" Ye Zhen muttered.

"Hehe, don't be unconvinced. Your mental deficiencies are too obvious. Even if your will is relatively strong, your mental strength is essentially not much stronger than that of an ordinary person."

"Didn't you try to find a vengeful spirit of consciousness to make amends?" Richard wasn't going to beat around the bush for the sake of saving face, and asked directly.

"Do you think I don't want to? Those vengeful spirits with consciousness are more and more troublesome than the last. My substitute ghost can't lock onto them, and can't catch them at all. Instead, it almost caused me to fail."

I've practiced the meditation method you gave me, and I've also practiced the dual cultivation method of body and mind that Sister Bao'er gave me.

"But the time was too short, and I haven't really mastered anything yet," Ye Zhen said, feeling wronged.

"Don't be unconvinced. It's not that the scapegoat isn't strong enough; it's that you're too weak and haven't yet unleashed the true power of the scapegoat."

"You still need to practice," Richard said.

"If you're so capable, I definitely won't lose if you don't use your consciousness to attack," Ye Zhen retorted defiantly.

"Have you forgotten that your supernatural abilities can't affect gold? I can even seal you inside gold directly," Richard said speechlessly.

Although it's unclear why the supernatural can't affect gold, this is undoubtedly a fatal flaw for these ghost tamers.

Ye Zhen was dejected. Gold was indeed unavoidable; ordinary people couldn't use gold to deal with a Ghost Master who possessed a Ghost Domain, but Richard could seal space and disable the Ghost Master's Ghost Domain ability.

Overall, this world is still very valuable, and many strange phenomena contain mysteries about time, space, cause and effect, fate, and death.

It is indeed worth studying in depth.
