I have a ghost diary

But this time, even though his upper body had been completely transformed, the corresponding areas were actually experiencing pain.

While gritting his teeth and persevering, Chu Jiang described his feelings to the old man.

The old man examined the situation calmly. “This is a good change, indicating that the Black Sun is merging into your body. In this way, it’s not just your ghostly body that’s bearing the pressure; your human part is also bearing the pressure.”

"This is a complete integration, and you have to pull through. As long as Chu Qi can hold on, you won't die, but if your mind collapses first, then Chu Qi won't be able to save you."

Chu Jiang managed to squeeze out a "hmm" from his throat with great difficulty, and then he couldn't utter another word.

It's hot, so hot!

His entire chest felt like it was melting; Chu Jiang could no longer even hear his own heartbeat.

After a long time, Chu Jiang once again felt that extreme, utter, and pure pain. But this time, he did not let out a heart-wrenching scream. He just gritted his teeth so hard that they bled.

However, the situation was not optimistic. When the black sun tried to break through Chu Jiang's chest but failed, it instinctively began to break through in other directions.

This included Chu Jiang's head and his lower body.

Chu Jiang knew very well that his brain was absolutely useless; it was his most vulnerable, yet also his most important, part that housed his consciousness.

If the black sun were to shoot up onto his head, he would likely be instantly blown to the head!

Therefore, Chu Jiang mobilized the power of the zombies to hold the last line of defense at his neck, preventing the power of the black sun from surging towards him.

Unable to break through, the black sun instinctively spread towards Chu Jiang's lower body...

"Uh~ Uh~!"

Chu Jiang couldn't help but let out a painful, suppressed groan from his throat.

At this very moment, his lower body was melting and evaporating at a visible speed, leaving only a pair of white leg bones exposed to the air, being scorched by black flames.

Moreover, in order to prevent the Black Sun from escaping from his almost destroyed lower body, Chu Jiang had to mobilize the power of Chu Zombie to create an invisible defense line in his lower body by interfering with reality.

From the old man's perspective, a sun radiating black flames rolled back and forth between Chu Jiang's two leg bones, along his pelvis, from left to right and back again. Whenever it was about to cross the boundary, Chu Jiang would press it back with both hands from a distance.

The more trapped it was, the more restless the black sun became, and the more brazenly it emitted "heat" from a supernatural perspective.

After nearly five minutes of the process, Chu Jiang's lower body bones could no longer support or withstand the pressure, and they began to crumble inch by inch in the flames.

Chu Jiang was very familiar with this scene; it was in the same way that the bones in his hands shattered in the black flames.

And what follows is... the new students!

Chapter 335 The Greed of the Ghost Diary

As if confirming the cry in Chu Jiang's heart, his bones below the waist, from the pelvis to the femur, to the tibia and then to the foot bones, were breaking apart inch by inch, but at the same time, new bones were being reborn inch by inch.

These new bones were a completely lifeless black, and fascia, veins, blood vessels, muscles, and skin rapidly built along the black bones.

In almost no time, Chu Jiang's lower body was completely transformed into Chu Zombie and perfectly integrated with his upper body.

In this way, Chu Jiang's awakening level reached over 80%, and the black sun lost the possibility of escaping from Chu Jiang's body.

This successfully increased the degree of Chu's corruption, giving Chu Jiang a considerable boost.

Although the pain continued, Chu Jiang gritted his teeth and persevered. He could feel that the black sun had shrunk in size as it struggled left and right.

This doesn't mean it has weakened, but rather that a portion of its power has been passively integrated into Chu Jiang's body, rather than it being a simple case of a ghost invading a living person.

However, just as things were starting to improve, new troubles arose.

Amidst the endless burning pain, Chu Jiang discovered that the chaotic voices shouting "We will live forever in heaven" were becoming clearer and clearer in his mind.

Yes, it's in my mind, not in my ears.

Even his lips were slightly opening and closing, as if he wanted to shout along with those voices, to rush towards heaven together...

But what's going on? Aren't I an immune memetic infection?

Chu Jiang wanted to ask the old man a question, but at this moment he was unable to make a sound and could only struggle in extreme pain.

He slammed his hand down on the stone bed beneath him, shattering it to pieces. The entire Lin family mansion, the entire Luohe County, and the supernatural space they were in all shook violently.

"Calm down," the old man said calmly, without interfering with Chu Jiang's control process.

With a wave of his hand, a new stone bed was regenerated, continuing to support the Chu River.

Chu Jiang then clenched his hands tightly together. The feeling grew clearer and clearer; he could feel Heaven calling to him, and Heaven was so close, right within him...

But Chu Jiang did not give up. With the last shred of his rationality, he was still analyzing the reasons for the anomaly.

The reason the Black Sun couldn't corrupt him was because he was cursed by the Ghost Diary, and his allegiance was with the Ghost Diary. The Black Sun couldn't turn him into a "living ghost servant."

But... what if the black sun wasn't meant to transform him into a ghost servant?

The black sun is now clearly merging into Chu Jiang's body, which involves the issue of [adaptability]. Adaptability only occurs when a ghost is deeply integrated into the human body, allowing the ghost master to utilize the ghost's power.

Since the Black Sun has incorporated its essence, the issue is no longer about transforming the ghost servants, but rather its inherent madness, which begins to corrupt Chu Jiang's humanity.

This is something that Ghost Diary can't help Chu Jiang with; he can only rely on himself.

If that's the case, then Chu Jiang's primary objective now is to hold on, or even not to defeat this force.

As long as he can hold on until the black sun is fully integrated and adaptability is generated, then meme infection will become Chu Jiang's own ability, and he can certainly control himself from being contaminated.

So, under the dual pressure of physical and mental strain, Chu Jiang kept telling himself to hold on, hold on, just a little longer and victory will be his!

To distract himself, he even started recalling his experiences with his family, classmates, and Chen Ke'er. He wanted to tell himself that a ghost wasn't his paradise; he was pursuing something else...

From the old man's perspective, Chu Jiang had already lost consciousness. His eyes were tightly closed, his hands were clenched, his body arched and twisted, and he was muttering, "Heaven, heaven, heaven..."

Meanwhile, his body was still emitting light, only the light was weaker than at the beginning.

Lin Mohua had secretly come to the outside of the courtyard at some point. Through a wall, she "saw" Chu Jiang's painful struggle; she couldn't help but bite her lip, but there was nothing she could do, and she could only pray silently for him.

Just as Chu Jiang and the Black Sun were locked in a stalemate, a sinister and eerie black diary suddenly flew out of his left hand.

As soon as the diary was published, it pounced on the struggling Chu Jiang, seemingly about to devour its host.

This proves that Chu Jiang has reached the most dangerous moment on a spiritual level. He is just a hair's breadth away from completely losing his humanity, being possessed by the black sun, and dying.

The Ghost Diary couldn't help Chu Jiang on a spiritual level. As its pages turned, eerie chains of ghostly iron shot out, but these chains couldn't pierce Chu Jiang's body for the time being.

So it stopped trying to stop the other ghosts from stealing its food and instead lay on Chu Jiang's body, trying to swallow its host whole into the diary little by little.

Yes, Ghost Diary is going to swallow Chu Jiang whole, including the four ghosts inside him!

Even the old man couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, saying, "Too greedy."

It was at this moment that the old man finally intervened.

He tapped the ground with his right cane, and with a "thud," countless black mist chains emerged from the ground and shot towards Ghost Diary.

Instinctively, Ghost Diary began to retaliate. In an instant, the Nether Iron Chains and the Black Mist Chains collided and became entangled. The struggle between the two produced ear-piercing sounds and blinding sparks, causing even the surrounding space to distort...

Both chains are forces that seal and block the system, so they have some commonalities; however, there is no absolute superior-subordinate relationship between the two, so they are entangled together for a time, making it difficult to determine a winner.

Of course, the old man's methods didn't stop there.

He raised his cane expressionlessly and began to draw in the air.

This time, the old man did not combine the talisman he had carved with the black mist chains; he simply carved a vermilion talisman on its own.

The talisman was inscribed with the words "Imperial Edict" and a symbol consisting of the characters for rain, gradual growth, and ear stacked together from top to bottom.

This symbol is called the "Ziwei Taboo," a secret taboo in Taoism used to suppress ghosts and exorcise evil spirits by harnessing the power of the Central Heaven Ziwei Emperor.

Whether the Ziwei Emperor truly exists in this world is unknown, but in the old man's hands, this talisman seems to possess immense power. As soon as it took shape, it flew towards the Ghost Diary and adhered to the cover of the diary.

Upon receiving this post, the Ghost Diary itself trembled and fell off Chu Jiang's body; even the 304 Nether Iron Chains that had shot out were momentarily forced back into the diary.

Chapter 336 Zombies

The Ghost Diary rolled off Chu Jiang's body and onto the ground, but it did not stop struggling; instead, it continued to tremble.

At the same time, the Purple Star Talisman that the old master had inscribed did not disappear; it remained suppressed on the diary, preventing it from causing any trouble for the time being.

To be honest, even the old man had never seen a sealed artifact with such a high degree of autonomy as the Ghost Diaries before.

Most sealed artifacts can't even move on their own, unlike the Demon Diaries, which constantly tries to eat its master and has powerful attack methods.

Fortunately, it must follow its own rules to act. If it were to act recklessly, it would no longer be a sealed object, but rather a demon in a special state.

On the other hand, Chu Jiang's situation was not optimistic; he had entered a state of near death.

He is now essentially racing against time, to see whether he can control the black sun first, or whether the black sun will completely corrupt him first.

The old man was also closely watching Chu Jiang's situation, especially the solar orb inside him that was struggling to break free from Chu Zhan's restraints and was gradually becoming dormant.

As time passed, Chu Jiang gradually stopped struggling, and he stopped muttering words like "heaven." His expression even began to become peaceful...

But when the old man saw this, he frowned and muttered to himself, "It's failed again?"

Just as he was hesitating whether to intervene and see if he could save Chu Jiang's life, he suddenly witnessed a bizarre and terrifying scene!

For a fleeting moment, Chu Jiang became 100% Chu Zombie, even his head turned into a bluish-black zombie face.

That face evoked a feeling in everyone who saw it—death, a pale death.

But this scene lasted only a moment, less than a tenth of a second; the next instant, Chu Jiang's head returned to its original state, and he began to struggle again.

"What's going on?" The old man was quite astonished.

If Chu Jiang had broken through to the limit on his deathbed and completely mastered the power of Chu Zombie, the old man wouldn't have been so surprised.

But where is the principle behind mastering everything at once and then regressing in the next?

For a fleeting moment, the old man doubted that he had seen wrong, but reason told him that it was impossible; Chu Jiang had indeed undergone a very strange and bizarre change.

Since Chu Jiang continued to act recklessly, the situation was gradually being turned around by him.

The entire process of controlling the sun had lasted for nearly twenty minutes. The black sun was becoming less and less active, and the light orb was moving slower and slower within Chu Jiang's body.

Just as Lin Mohua was secretly relieved for Chu Jiang, the situation on the scene changed again.

The entire scene in the courtyard seemed to blur for a moment; the leaves that were falling to the ground just a second ago suddenly began to float upwards; Chu Jiang's expression also gradually changed from struggle to tranquility, and time seemed to begin to flow backwards!
