I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

At least, I could live for millions more years without any problem.

However, her cultivation level is related to her lifespan. If she loses her lifespan, her cultivation level will also drop significantly.

The giant snake didn't intend to say anything more about that.

She did indeed put in a lot of effort, but Lin Yi's hard work and the risks he faced were no less than hers.

"I've finished speaking, it's time to go."

The giant snake was decisive; it withdrew its supernatural powers and immediately darted into the roadside, disappearing without a trace, giving Lin Yi no chance to complain.

Helpless, Lin Yi could only begin to ponder these sixteen characters.

After pondering for a long time, he finally gave up.

He'd be better off relying on myths than on these sixteen characters!

Applying these sentences to the story of Investiture of the Gods might be much faster.

The phrase "a heart of a child, a body of chaos"—could it be referring to Nezha?

Is the ambition of being unparalleled referring to Yang Jian?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to use a face shield.

Lin Yi planned to send in spies directly to find these people.

People like Nezha and Yang Jian, and most importantly, Jiang Ziya—any man with the surname Jiang will be punished!

Of course, Lin Yi didn't want to kill all the men with the surname Jiang, but rather to put them under centralized surveillance.

Find Jiang Ziya and kill him directly.

Using mythology to deduce the nemesis is indeed a good method.

Unfortunately, even those who initially passed down the story may not know the truth.

Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story. In order to find out why she had become a zombie, Jiang Linglong finally decided to return to the land of the Yuezhi clan.

She traveled day and night and arrived quickly.

But even after searching through the ancient texts left by the high priest, she couldn't find any specific records about the curse.

All she knew was that the curse had only appeared a hundred or two hundred years ago.

At that time, the Yuezhi were facing a survival crisis. The world was desolate, and the Yuezhi had nowhere to go but to pray to the gods.

Thus, the gods bestowed upon the Yuezhi a perfect habitat, with mountains and rivers, and abundant resources.

The Yuezhi people now had a place to live.

In return, the Yuezhi people are forbidden from leaving their ancestral lands, or they will be cursed.

This was all the information Jiang Linglong knew.

After reading it, she felt that something was off...

Chapter 689 Lies and Deception

The gods bestow blessings upon people, and people worship the gods; this is inherently a mutually beneficial relationship.

This god did not demand sacrifices, but only required the Yuezhi people not to leave the place of dwelling given by the god. If they left, they would be cursed.

Is this really something a god could do?

According to Jiang Linglong's understanding, gods shouldn't look like this.

Perhaps the deities encountered by the Yuezhi people were not orthodox deities?

Jiang Linglong clearly didn't understand the gods, yet she still made this judgment.

"So, the changes in me really are due to a divine curse?"

Jiang Linglong felt that this was probably the closest answer to the truth. If that was the case, perhaps the only way for her to break the curse was to find the god from back then.

But after she finished speaking to herself, a soft laugh sounded behind her.

"How could the gods curse mortals without reason? It's ridiculous that you intend to be an enemy of the gods based on some incomplete information."

Jiang Linglong was startled and turned around abruptly, where she saw a woman wearing a pink dress.

This woman possesses an extraordinary temperament, ethereal and otherworldly.

Jiang Linglong took a half step back, cautiously guarding herself, and asked, "Who are you?"

“I am the god you speak of.”

Jiang Linglong was startled, never expecting that her casual remark would be overheard by the gods.

This is really bad.

But Jiang Linglong was not a coward. Instead of admitting her mistake, she asked, "Was it you who placed the curse on my clan?"

"Of course not, quite the opposite, I'm here to clean up the mess for your Yue clan."

With that, the woman smiled and said, "My name is Yan Ling, and my title is Ruyi Zhenxian."

The power of words is that which makes one's words effective.

Yan Ling was one of the subordinates of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden among this wave of mortal immortals.

However, when she saw her former esteemed ruler, she felt no respect whatsoever, only a twisted sense of pleasure.

She was clearly full of talent. She initially joined the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden because she admired the legendary story of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and wanted to achieve great things with her.

However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden felt that her character still needed to be tempered, so she only gave her a minor official position to appease her. How could Yan Ling be willing to accept this?

She was a proud and self-respecting person, and being treated like this made her feel greatly insulted, which led her to rebel.

Although the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is powerful, she is also a thorn in the side of many.

By chance, she got in touch with the diva.

Actually, it wasn't that she contacted the Heavenly Empress, but rather that the Heavenly Empress intentionally targeted Jiang Linglong, and that's why she chose this goddess who harbored resentment towards Jiang Linglong to be by Jiang Linglong's side.

Thus, under the Empress's enticement, Yan Ling quickly betrayed Jiang Linglong and joined in the scheme to plot against her.

If it weren't for her leaking information, the Empress wouldn't have been able to break through the seal on Jiang Linglong's divine status so easily.

This time, Yan Ling was ordered to descend to the mortal realm, ostensibly to conquer the Human King, but in reality, she had another secret mission: to induce Jiang Linglong to fall into evil.

Even deities strive for prudence when handling affairs.

Jiang Linglong is, after all, someone who has created miracles. What if she creates another miracle if left unchecked?

Therefore, the Empress and the Word of Power will not give her any chance.

Yan Ling looked at Jiang Linglong now and felt extremely happy.

The once proud Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has fallen to such a state of destitution.

"You think I'm of bad character? Well, I'd like to see how you'll face that question after you've indiscriminately killed innocent people."

The task of the Word Spirit is simple: to satisfy Jiang Linglong's bloodlust.

Clearly, Jiang Linglong's curse has taken effect; she is bound to suck blood.

She might be able to hold out longer if she doesn't drink blood at first, but after the first sip, she will be unable to resist her bloodlust.

Moreover, the more times it happens, the harder it becomes to control one's desires.

She will completely lose her senses and become a monster who only knows how to suck blood.

At that time, it would be only natural for the Empress to suppress her and seal her away permanently.

Once she falls into evil, she will never have a chance to turn things around.

This is the most important task of the Word Spirit descending to the mortal realm.

Secondly, it is natural to guide Jiang Linglong to complete the struggle for destiny.

This is something even capitalists would cry over.

I'm going to take everything away from you, and still make you work to meet your performance KPIs.

"The curse received by the Yuezhi clan did not originate from the gods, but from their own karma."

Everything in this world is fair; there are gains and losses. The place where your Yuezhi people have found refuge is also a sealed place.

Your ancestors had a place to live, but in return, they had to guard it for a long time, using their human energy to suppress evil spirits.

But you caused the Yuezhi people to leave their ancestral land, and the evil spirit was born, naturally attaching itself to you.

Yan Ling explained the truth about the curse to Jiang Linglong, but of course, it was all a lie.

There is no evil thing at all.

Jiang Linglong was unaware that this extraordinary person harbored such schemes against her. At this moment, she was still unaware of her own identity. Although she was somewhat wary of people, she would not assume the worst of anyone.

According to the theory of "words of power," she can't blame the gods.

She wasn't cursed by the gods; she was simply bearing the karma of her ancestors.

That makes sense.

How can this evil spirit be removed?

Jiang Linglong accepted her fate of becoming a zombie, but still wanted to make a change.

Yan Ling sighed, "If I had come sooner, perhaps there would still have been a chance."

"A century has passed, and the evil spirits here have been weakened considerably, but unfortunately, someone has tampered with your body, and even I cannot remove the evil energy from your body."

"What tricks?"

Jiang Linglong's expression changed again. Could it be that there was another reason why she was like this?

"Naturally, it will guide evil spirits to you and drain your fortune. You may not believe it, but you are born extraordinary and destined to replace the Shang dynasty as king."

But your fortunes are already waning, while the Shang dynasty is riding high. Isn't it because they have stolen your fortunes?

"The Shang Dynasty? Tyrants!?"

Only then did Jiang Linglong remember her war with the Yin Shang dynasty.

At first, she didn't actually harbor much hatred towards the Shang king.
