But with the end of the world, there's no point in saying all this.

Tendou Kagura then asked, "Why did Shangyang hide his physical body here?"

The prophet gazed at Shang Yang's body and said calmly, "For a spiritualist who has already undergone transformation, their physical body becomes a fatal weakness, even though spiritualists can survive on their own. But the original body is still crucial to a spiritualist; there is a special connection in the dark, which can be considered the source."

This is a weakness that can be exploited. If the mind-stealing artifact finds it, it might be able to curse Shang Yang to death, or at the very least, influence his behavior.

Kagura Tendo couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't it be better to just destroy this weakness directly?"

"Because it was I who asked Shangyang to preserve his body."

Shang Yang was the first human spiritual master to advance to the level of a Dream Eater. As the leader of all mankind, he had an extremely high status and position. At that time, the world rules had not yet begun to go out of control. Although there were spatial rifts, they did not affect the overall situation. The outer gods' followers could not descend, and they could only send those low-level monsters.

After he became king, he sat firmly on the throne and had the ability to fight against those people across the world. He suppressed the entire world and prevented it from collapsing, holding the world back from falling into the abyss.

Early on, the prophet had a vague premonition and idea, which prevented Shang Yang from turning his own corpse into dust, leaving this fatal flaw.

He felt that the Spirit Master system was rather unique. Even though he was a prophet, he couldn't see the way forward. Perhaps the advancement to Sequence Four required the Primarch of a Spirit Master.

Because this is different from the Shadow and Warrior systems, preserving the original is better than destroying it directly, and it may still be useful in the future.

PY's Azur Lane: Starting with Calling Me Mom

"Mommy, I want to be the commander." Little Jiangcheng looked at Frederick the Great with a serious expression, his black eyes shining brightly.

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter 41: The Mysterious Eye

"Did you foresee this situation long ago?" Tendou Kagura asked.

The prophet possesses incredible power; the name itself signifies much, including the ability to see through the fog of time.

"At the time, I only hoped that even if Shangyang died in an accident, his remaining spirit could be resurrected through this body, but unfortunately it didn't work in the end." At that time, he had not yet deciphered the subsequent path of a spiritualist, and he only instinctively stopped Shangyang.

Even now, the prophet has only deduced that Sequence 4 of the Spirit Master system is the King, and is still groping his way forward, knowing nothing about the future.

For humans, Sequence 4 is actually sufficient.

This serves as a layer of insurance; as long as the body is hidden well enough, there's no need to worry about the supernatural being finding it.

Furthermore, Shang Yang personally set up a restriction here. Although ordinary people cannot detect it, if anyone approaches with malicious intent, the crystal coffin will explode directly, because the crystal coffin is different from others. It is a solidified spiritual crystal that Shang Yang painstakingly constructed.

Piece by piece, piece by piece, they eventually formed the coffin, all of which were physical spirits, and their power was unimaginable.

Even Tendou Kagura could sense that the coffin gave off an extremely warm feeling, but it also inexplicably made people feel uneasy, just like the real sun, making people feel awe and fear.

However, Shangyang's remnants ultimately failed to return here, nor did they absorb the remaining power. Instead, they chose to merge into the depths of the earth, and no one knows what he was thinking before he died.

Moreover, the death was too suspicious and could be considered an act of God.

Even the prophet did not expect that the two outer gods' followers would choose to join forces.

Because the outer gods' retinue comes from outside the world, it is incompatible with the other retinues, and they are like oil and water, each a direct adversary.

If they don't fight each other when they meet, it's considered that their relationship is harmonious.

Many shadow creatures also go to the deep sea every night to slaughter flesh-and-blood creatures, thus delaying the emergence of powerful flesh-and-blood creatures.

But the flesh-and-blood monsters occupy the sea endlessly, multiplying and killing each other wildly, and have now given birth to three high-sequence powerhouses.

However, in order to eliminate Shang Yang, they not only joined forces, but also withstood the suppression of the world, fought on foreign soil, and descended in their true forms to engage in a life-or-death battle with Shang Yang.

This directly led to Shangyang's downfall.

"At that time, he was powerless to care about anything else, holding the world in one hand, fighting against the terrible kin from outside the world, and also becoming the sun for all mankind..." The prophet's eyes were filled with an intense and lingering sense of self-reproach.

It was because he went insane prematurely that Shangyang was left to fend for himself, which led to this tragic end.

"..."

Tendou Kagura remained silent for a long time, unsure of what to say. During that period, the Prophet and Shang Yang faced even greater difficulties than anyone else had imagined.

With things having come to this point, everyone had given their all. The resistance had sacrificed so much in order to survive, yet they still ultimately failed.

That's all...

Kagura Tendo's expression remained cold and stern until she finally spoke, asking, "What do you want me to do?"

Shangyang is the key point. He guessed that the prophet wanted to use this body to help Shangyang, otherwise he would not have brought him here.

Because a spiritualist is extremely difficult to kill, and those mind-stealing monsters also have methods to resurrect after death, Shangyang needs to deliberately block all information, fearing that the public will panic.

It's reasonable that Shang Yang, as a high-ranking spiritualist, would possess such an ability.

“I can give this body to him.”

He spoke softly, with unwavering conviction.

But the prophet glanced at him. He had a way to communicate with Shangyang, which did not require Tiandao Shenle to sacrifice himself. If he could do it, he would have done it long ago. But Shangyang could not return to his body to be conceived again.

“You can’t go to Shang Yang, otherwise you’ll definitely be discovered once you show yourself, and even Shang Yang won’t be able to protect you.”

The battlefield is unpredictable, and Shangyang and Chifeng may change their location at any time, sometimes by hundreds or thousands of miles. Tiandao Shenle's search is useless, and they may die meaninglessly in the end.

Tendou Kagura stood quietly, speechless.

He considered himself very strong, but he was still no match for Shang Yang and the high-sequence flesh and shadow creatures.

The time he has been a savior is still too short.

“He doesn’t need this body either,” the prophet said. “What he needs is someone to fight alongside him. He’s in a very bad state right now; it’s difficult for him to even take his family with him to die.”

Tendou Kagura's eyes immediately hardened: "What do we do!"

He only needs the target and information; he will handle the rest himself, even at the cost of his life, in cooperation with Shangyang and Chifeng.

"Status!"

Tendou Kagura frowned slightly, wondering if the rank the prophet spoke of was the same as what he thought, so he asked, "What is that?"

"According to ancient mysticism, rank is the class of life. All our evolution and sublimation, all the paths we take, all the systems we follow, and all the efforts we make are to elevate the position of our life."

Position is fixed and difficult for ordinary people to break, representing the solidification of class and blocking all paths.

Humans have their place, gods have their place, and all things must find their place in order for the world to function properly.

Humans cannot be born gods, and gods cannot be born humans.

However, sublimation itself is a path that goes against this phenomenon, which is why it is so difficult, like rowing against the current.

According to ancient and mysterious classifications, the transformation from human to god is not instantaneous, but requires going through multiple stages and gradually elevating one's own social class.

Each promotion represents a sublimation and leap in one's life form.

This is the kind of help a complete system can provide.

Because any advancement in life level requires utmost caution and cannot be achieved overnight. Otherwise, advancing on a path of complete ignorance will likely lead to an unstoppable fall into an endless abyss; or one may be unable to control uncontrolled power and thus become a mad beast.

A complete system can ensure that life is always on a safe path.

After listening to these, Tendou Kagura felt that it was very similar to the style of ancient legends about cultivators who believed that humans could overcome fate, but it incorporated related concepts from religious cults and also had some elements of fatalism.

"If a life form becomes powerful enough, then even if it perishes, its status will not disappear," the prophet whispered.

As someone close to a god, Shang Yang already possesses the potential in this area.

In fact, if someone is a deity, they cannot be referred to as a person, but rather they are transformed into a god.

Godhood is immortal, and gods will never die, but for mortals, that is too far away.

"What is my rank?" Tendou Kagura asked. He wanted to know his rank; he remembered that Donglan had mentioned that the prophet could give him some advice.

He needs to be clear about his current level in order to determine what he is capable of achieving.

But the prophet does not speak.

He was quite experienced, but he had never met anyone named Tendou Kagura. The idea of ​​a savior was too far-fetched to be completely believed, but he couldn't completely disbelieve it either.

The prophet scrutinized Tendou Kagura for a long time, then said tactfully, "You have a pair of mysterious eyes..."

Those who break my heart shall die: Chapter 42: Stealing Status

The Heavenly Dao Kagura silently opened her jet-black eyes, the ink color spreading across her pupils, transforming them into two black pearl-like eyeballs.

The prophet saw those dark eyes and nodded slightly; this was the power he had sensed.

Kagura Tendo told the prophet that this was the power he obtained in the previous world, and for it he killed 100,000 low-sequence familiars with jet-black eyes—but those things weren't very strong, Kagura Tendo felt that those monsters weren't even sequence 9.

However, the familiar of the Dark Eyes is quite outrageous, possessing the power of Sequence 7. If a few more years pass, it may completely surpass itself and possess the power of Sequence 6.

But in reality, even the weakest monster possesses extraordinary characteristics.

The prophet pondered for a moment, then said, "It may originate from some ancient being. The monster you mentioned has a faint supernatural quality. It needs to accumulate enough qualities to open this mysterious door."

Tendou Kagura had considered this idea, but wasn't sure, and was extremely surprised at the same time.

Because these extraordinary characteristics are merely the power left behind by an entity that happened to pass by unintentionally, yet they can affect the entire world—similar to the Lord of the Wasteland in Roan, but the latter only left behind the power that affected a single city.

If Ame-no-Kagura had descended immediately and confronted that being, the outcome would have been predictable.

Even if she doesn't go insane, she'll probably struggle to cope. The best outcome would be for her to lose her reason and self, awaken as a second familiar, but the person who awakens again will definitely not be Tendo Kagura herself.

"You are very powerful. Your power doesn't come from the Dark Eyes, does it?"

Kagura Tendou nodded. The Dark Eyes were mainly for auxiliary purposes; he hadn't reached the point where anyone he glared at would die.

If there are enemies, he himself needs to roll up his sleeves and go into battle.

The prophet frowned and said, "Don't you have even the slightest doubt? Why have you been able to get to this point so smoothly?" Ascension requires extreme caution; one wrong step can lead to utter ruin. Especially for someone like Tendo Kagura, who only has a superficial understanding of mysticism, it's already incredible that he hasn't died or gone mad after rashly embarking on this path.

Especially according to what Kagura Tendou said, his strength is entirely due to his own efforts, without relying on any external forces.

In the prophet's eyes, Tendou Kagura is equivalent to a powerhouse who is infinitely close to Sequence 6.

This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful human being.

Shang Yang was an accident; the process of becoming a king is not replicable. Even if humanity develops for another hundred years, it is not certain that a Sequence 4 king will appear. Under such circumstances, a Sequence 5 liar is already extremely rare.

Even during the Resistance era at its peak, there were only about eighty people stronger than Kagura Tendo, and even then, they weren't guaranteed to win. Among them, the Dream Eaters of the Spirit System would be completely outmatched by Kagura Tendo and could only defend themselves; the Celestials of the Warrior System were evenly matched with him, but it was difficult for them to win with certainty; the Shadow People might be able to win, but this type of user was the fewest.

After a moment of silence, Kagura Tendou said, "...I'm lucky."
