From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Unlimited bullets?"

Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and the others turned their attention to the Desert Eagle pistol hanging on Zhang Jie's waist, realizing that the pistol might be a very high-level alchemical artifact that did not require the holder to expend energy.

"Thank you." Zero received the basic alchemy manual, thanked Jiang Liu, and at the same time received a notification from the main god:

[Given basic alchemical knowledge by the character Jiang Liu, this user can learn independently or enhance their skills after returning to the Main God Space.]

After midnight, it was Chu Xuan and Arno's turn.

Among them, Arno was tall and was a progenitor, so Jiang Liu used the simplest and most direct method to open his nine orifices and give him Qi.

Although he couldn't use his special abilities, with the support of Qi, Arno's strength, speed, and defense were increased several times over, and his close combat ability was comparable to Zheng Zha before he underwent Jiang Liu's experiment and his gene lock was not activated.

"I'm interested in Qi cultivation, but my position in this team is more like that of a strategist. So, are there any Qi cultivation methods that specifically target the brain?"

Chu Xuan asked.

“The cultivation of life and spirit, and the refinement of the primordial spirit, can basically improve the spirit with all the methods of refining qi, but when it comes to strengthening the brain...aren't you and Zhan Lan’s positions overlapping?” Jiang Liu asked rhetorically.

"I consider myself a researcher as well," Chu Xuan said after a moment's thought.

"Just say you're interested in my Reversed Eight Directions technique." Jiang Liu chuckled, grabbed Chu Xuan by the back of the head, pressed his forehead against Chu Xuan's, condensed a ball of Qi, and instilled his cultivation experience regarding the internal refining and external projection of the Reversed Eight Directions technique.

[The technique taught by the character Jiang Liu in the story: Reversing the eight directions, connecting the eight extraordinary meridians, controlling the human body's magnetic field, internally refining life force, and externally controlling human magnetism. It is applicable to many types of "horror movies" and can coexist with many enhancement systems, or even combine and merge with them.]

Value assessment: Grade A!

Should I consume two B-rank side quests and 2,000 reward points to complete the enhancement? Return to the Main God Space to enhance; no side quests are required...

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, ignoring the God's instructions, and asked Jiang Liu to help him extract a wisp of Qi and forcefully connect it to the Great Circulation. Relying on that extraordinary memory, he could use it to control the reversal of the eight directions.

It was only because Chu Xuan had the talent to refine Qi that Jiang Liu could forcibly open up his eight extraordinary meridians, otherwise he would at most only be able to have a trace of Qi, but not be able to use his special abilities.

“This will deplete our potential,” Jiang Liu said.

“We are different from you. As long as we survive the mission, our bodies can be fully repaired. We don’t need to worry too much about the damage to our bodies during cultivation.”

Chu Xuan didn't care at all what kind of hidden injuries this body would suffer from squeezing its potential. As long as it didn't die, even if only a head remained, as long as it didn't completely lose consciousness, it wouldn't matter!

These words were also a reminder to Zheng Zha...

# Chapter 335 Personality Twins: Inside and Outside

Hearing Chu Xuan say this, and considering Chu Xuan's congenital problem, Zheng Zha suddenly understood why Chu Xuan's calculations in "Alien 1" had such a low margin for error.

So, after learning that the "God" could heal injuries, and even after they demonstrated the effects of the healing bandages, the plan they devised took the most extreme approach.

Returning to the Main God Space alive—

This should be the underlying logic of Chu Xuan's combat planning. As for the severity of injuries suffered by team members during the battle, whether they will flee due to injury, exhibiting a battle-fighting reaction or a frozen reaction, or whether team members will turn on their own comrades due to madness...

He wouldn't have considered it at the time.

He formulated the plan based on the premise that he and the other reincarnators were "robots" who were incapable of pain or fear.

We still need to be wary of Chu Xuan...

This thought popped into Zheng Zha's head.

Following Chu Xuan were Qi Tengyi and Lu Renjia. These two were ordinary people who did not have Chu Xuan's strong will. They could only forcibly obtain Qi to strengthen their physical qualities, but could not use their special abilities.

"This is extraordinary power!"

Lu Renjia, having obtained the Qi, felt the Qi within his body. Although he hadn't truly mastered the Small Heavenly Circuit due to the lack of reward points, the sheer power still slightly distracted him. "With this power, when I get back, I'll definitely teach those guys who looked down on me a lesson!"

Zheng Zha: "..."

Does he seem similar to Li Xiaoyi?

But considering that most people who enter the Main God Space are dissatisfied with their lives, even Chu Xuan, this "Senior Colonel," seems to have self-destructive tendencies—

Zheng Zha didn't say anything more.

Jiang Liu added an extra note, saying, "Cultivating one's mind and character leads to the Great Dao. If one cannot even withstand the ridicule of others, the path of cultivation will be fraught with difficulties."

After that, regardless of whether Lu Renjia could listen or not, Jiang Liu focused his attention on Zhao Yingkong, this somewhat peculiar girl.

Jiang Liu could only describe her situation as "bizarre." The turbulent state of her brain magnetism presented a peculiar "dual-core" driving mode, which gave Jiang Liu a sense of déjà vu, as if she had two souls in one body.

Jiang Liu had never seen a person with dissociative identity disorder, but it was definitely not someone like Zhao Yingkong, whose soul was almost split in two.

The alter ego is currently in control of the body, as the current brainwave turbulence state that is being revealed is rather "frivolous".

That is, it is relatively "thin" in the perception of the river flow.

The "inner layer" was extremely thick, and even faintly contained a light similar to the pure and sincere spiritual light of his ancestral aperture.

But it's only similar.

Jiang Liu was certain that even if that light were completely "solidified," it would still be fundamentally different from his own sincere spiritual light, and they could not be generalized.

It tends to be a collection of deep-seated beliefs and wills, or a kind of obsession.

"You're even more special than Zheng Zha. Do you need me to keep that a secret?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yingkong frowned.

"I see?"

Jiang Liu bowed slightly, looking at Zhao Yingkong's face with great interest, and revealed a devilish smile, "So you didn't know that yourself?"

It seems you're not in a dominant position right now...

Well, I can't help you with that. The best way to cultivate your mind is to experience love, hate, passion, and all the ups and downs, until you reach a state of equanimity, unmoved by external gains or losses...

However, for you, it would be best to achieve some kind of balance and then coordinate and unify it; that might yield better results.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yingkong felt confused, but a strange tension arose within her, subconsciously believing that the other party had seen through her.

"Schizophrenia?" Zhan Lan, a writer, guessed, as she was prone to making connections.

"Something more serious, a split personality."

Jiang Liu stretched. "I understand her situation roughly. Due to a lack of self-cultivation, her inner world is in turmoil, causing mental distress..."

Her physical attributes are not weak. Judging from the degree to which her gene lock is activated, she is higher than Zheng Zha. She should have activated the third stage. However, since it involves the mental, soul, and spiritual levels, leading to the personality split problem, it may be the fourth stage that I speculate.

Perhaps it was because of a weak mentality, an inability to cope, and a failure to confront one's own inner self that led to a split personality.

"Impossible! Are you saying I'm fake?" Zhao Yingkong absolutely refused to believe that she was a clone, a mere fictitious existence.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, now 100% certain of Zhao Yingkong's identity, and had already figured out how to utilize this elite member of the "Kong" assassin family, who had unlocked the fourth stage of genetic lock, in his future horror film.

However, in this "supernatural" horror movie world, Zhao Yingkong is not that useful. Can an assassin cause physical damage to unscientific beings like ghosts and monsters?

Unless this "A Chinese Ghost Story: Republican Era Version/Under One Person Version" is a "comedy film"!

"Don't get excited."

Jiang Liu, however, said in a serious tone, "Strictly speaking, what kind of existence is not illusory, such as spirit, will, and belief? But can you say that they do not exist?"

There's a saying in spiritual practice: "Refining the false into the true." This refers to how people continuously experience various hardships in the world, thereby understanding the true meaning of life, and then, with unwavering faith, continuing to move forward.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Everyone present recalled the information they had received before entering the Main God Space:

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"

and so--

Is all of this done to make the fake appear real?

Chu Xuan was lost in thought, realizing that since entering the God's Space, he had been testing the God, but had overlooked the fact that this "invitation" was the key.

It seems our plans really need to be changed.

"Of course, the so-called hardships for humankind today mostly come from the hardships brought by other humans and the natural environment, such as slash-and-burn agriculture and building roads through mountains. Our ancestors have already solved a large part of these problems for us."

Jiang Liu stared into Zhao Yingkong's eyes and said leisurely, "In short, you don't need to think too much. Just let things take their course, be yourself, and don't make things difficult for yourself. Such behavior only creates unnecessary anxiety and doesn't serve any real purpose..."

But then again, I guess you brought this situation on yourselves, didn't you?

Except for Chu Xuan, everyone else's mouth twitched.

Seriously—

This suffering is truly their own fault for being so impulsive back then!

Afterwards, a wisp of sincere spiritual light from Jiang Liu's ancestral aperture shone on Zhao Yingkong, and a wisp of spiritual light was separated from it. He asked, "The only help I can give you is this wisp of light. It may be able to stabilize this personality of yours, so that your main personality will not be able to easily erase your current consciousness after it awakens, or it may be able to merge with you."

Zhao Yingkong accepted and asked, "Do you have any Qi-refining techniques like assassination? Teach them to me as well. Whatever you need afterward, I'll exchange it for you when I return to the Main God Space..."

At this point, ignoring the notification that the God had deducted 10 reward points, she asked Chu Xuan, "After returning to the God's Space, can I come back to this world?"

"can."

Chu Xuan glanced at Zheng Zha, who showed no reaction, and nodded slightly.

“I’m not an assassin, and I don’t know how to assassinate, but there is a sect that is extremely good at assassination called the Tang Clan. If you need me in the future, I can take you to Sichuan… Now I have a little reputation in the world of supernatural beings, so the Tang Clan should give me some face, right?” Jiang Liu pondered.

Zhao Yingkong's eye twitched, breaking her aloof facade, and she retorted, "You're so strong, and you're only somewhat famous?"

Is there any necessary causal relationship between strength and fame?

Jiang Liu retorted, "Am I the emperor of Shenzhou? Or a god who can move mountains and fill seas?"

"..."

# Chapter 336 Chu Xuan's Change, Jiang Liu's Gains

"Your strength has improved in a short period of time. Familiarize yourselves as much as possible. I'll go ask the second and third groups about the situation."

"We might have to act tonight!"

Having said that, before Zheng Zha and the others could speak, Jiang Liu's figure had already disappeared from the council hall.

"I definitely need to get familiar with it."
