From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

In the gap of that white light, amidst the scattered spiritual power, countless tiny black and white specks of light, each the size of a mustard seed, flowed along the iron rod toward Jiang Liu's arm.

He had already glimpsed part of the "truth" of the river, and in the darkness, he realized that the body of the river was the real world!

Just as the light flowed to the middle section of the iron rod, the thousands of black and white interwoven points of light seemed to be bound by some force, unable to move even an inch.

immediately!

A flash of inspiration led the countless points of light to disappear into the steel rod.

As the white light dissipated, Jiang Liu's gaze unconsciously fell upon the iron rod in his hand, as if this thing had suddenly gained sentience even without the presence of the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon.

But this was not the time to ponder this matter. Looking around, he could no longer see Zheng Zha and the others, though he could vaguely sense the presence of the light points within Zhan Lan and Zhao Ying's ancestral apertures…

I was very close to him, as if I were standing in the same spot; yet I also felt very far away, as if we were separated by an unknown length of light-years.

A peculiar Schrödinger-like distance state that is both far away and yet very close.

However, the disappearance of Zheng Zha and the others made Jiang Liu have a sliver of doubt—the white light just now might not have been a complete killing of the Black Mountain Demon's original consciousness, but rather a "special effect" of the Main God Space summoning Zheng Zha and the others back.

"Brother Jiang, is Xiaoqian dead?"

Lu Jin asked uncertainly.

"died."

Jiang Liu glanced around at everyone and nodded affirmatively, "The Ghost Realm has also disappeared, and the aura has been broken."

"That being said, all of you who entered the Ghost Realm were impacted by the aura. You may appear fine now, but in reality, you have lost your 'past,' and the future will likely be fraught with hardship."

Zhuge Yu sighed.

The other Taoists and monks who understood the influence of Qi on a person's Qi looked at Zhang Zhiwei, and then at Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Gao Huan, Hong Guniang, and others, and all sighed.

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Jiang Liu did not tell them that he had already found it and restored the "past," but simply smiled confidently and said, "Fate may be determined by heaven, but fortune follows my heart."

Everything in the world cycles and the climate changes according to its own laws.

My life is secure, I am a self-contained world, and I have also comprehended the principles of the four seasons, the six energies, and the timing of fire. I can sense the universe and thus avoid those mysterious calamities.

Upon hearing this, everyone was impressed by the young man's strong spirit.

But only Zhang Zhiwei knew that Jiang Liu had already brought back their severed "past"—

The energy of the demon realm was thus completely depleted...

···

Main God Space.

Zheng Zha and the others awoke and received healing from the main god.

Treatment completed.

Zheng Zha embraced Loli, who was already waiting, and then glanced at the team members. Apart from the dead Arno, Chu Xuan's creator, and a large number of newcomers, everyone else had survived.

But this doesn't mean that this "horror movie" is simple. Zheng Zha alone has already encountered several life-or-death crises in this horror movie!

If it weren't for Jiang Liu's repeated rescues, the moment Xiaoqian ripped his heart out from behind would have been enough for Zheng Zha to perish in the "horror film" of "A Chinese Ghost Story: Republic of China Edition/Under One Person Edition," a storyline completely unknown to them.

Not to mention, the side quests and reward points they received after this mission far exceeded those of the past, enough for them to exchange for a lot of good stuff in the next "horror movie".

However, most people went back to their rooms to rest first, planning to exchange and enhance their items the next day. Only two people were contacting the main god's light orb.

Chu Xuan.

And Zhao Yingkong.

Chu Xuan inquired with the main god about "Under One Person" and learned that it was a modern urban supernatural comic, but it was more realistic, but the plot only went up to the "Biyou Village Arc".

"Lord God, inquire about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques."

[The Eight Extraordinary Skills: Qi Body Source Flow, Great Luo Cave Observation, Dual-Handed Techniques, Feng Hou Qi Men, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, Heavenly Record, and Spirit Binding and Commanding Generals. Enhancement and exchange are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Due to the unique nature of Qi Refining, which directly points to the origin of the Zhou Tian cycle, as long as there are enough reward points, you can directly enhance to the advanced level. The exchange price for each extraordinary skill is: 1 A-level side quest and 10000 reward points!]

"interesting."

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "The Eight Extraordinary Techniques, when enhanced to the advanced level, are only comparable in value to the techniques Jiang Liu casually taught me?"

Afterwards, Chu Xuan exchanged for the beginner level of Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. He planned to understand and cultivate the intermediate and advanced levels on his own. As for his cultivation level, he planned to focus on improving it using the Reversal of Eight Directions technique taught by Jiang Liu.

Human magnetism!

With this ability, combined with the Divine Machine Refinement, Chu Xuan is confident that he can conjure nuclear weapons by hand in a horror movie!

And what about Zhao Yingkong?

Realizing that she was merely a secondary personality and that the best course of action was to coexist with the primary personality, she decided to take a different path from the primary personality.

Without a doubt, the primary personality, like her secondary personality, is an assassin skilled in assassination. Therefore, to cooperate with her in the future, her own personality must be adept at direct combat and must never be a subservient to the other party!

Even though there were already warriors like Zheng Zha in this team who were good at head-on combat, Zhao Yingkong did not intend to wrong herself.

Fighting under Jiang Liu's control of that iron rod, Zhao Yingkong could feel an excitement completely different from before. Her body was leaping and cheering, and the exhilarating battle made her realize that she was a living, breathing person even more than if she could be killed in one blow!

It is not a subordinate part of the main personality!

Furthermore, for this alternate personality to truly reach a level that rivals or even surpasses the primary personality, it's not enough to simply have strong mental power; it's necessary to enhance self-awareness and willpower.

After all, no matter how strong one's mental power is, it is still just a kind of energy. If this personality can use it, the main personality can certainly use it as well. In fact, at this stage, the main personality's "authority" is even greater than hers!

As for Zheng Zha—

She felt that her opponent didn't know how to fight at all, only knew how to keep throwing punches, and was only good for a sudden outburst...

# Chapter 404 Escape to Nathan Island

After eliminating "Xiaoqian", Jiang Liu and his group searched Beiguo County and the burned-down Nanwu Temple, where they found the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror and a bronze statue of a rhinoceros horn.

The bronze statue of the Tongtian rhinoceros was a ritual object, but it has been destroyed and is no longer usable; it can only be considered a valuable funerary object.

In addition, Lu Jin also found Lu Renjia's body.

Logically speaking...

As a reincarnator, even if he dies, his physical body will be dissolved into Qi and cease to exist. Yet he still left behind a corpse, and the God Watch on his wrist was also preserved.

Who is this guy?

Li Muxuan asked.

"I don't know."

Lu Jin shook her head, as if she had never seen Lu Renjia before.

But Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly.

It was understandable that Li Muxuan didn't recognize Lu Renjia, since he wasn't particularly concerned about Zheng Zha and the others' identities. However, Lu Jin had paid attention to Zheng Zha and the others before, yet now he had absolutely no recollection of them.

It can only mean that the "God" has influenced their memories once again.

However, it was no longer possible to influence or control the radiance of the two spiritual realms of Heaven and Earth, and thus pardoned and enfeoffed the Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of the Azure Heaven and the Earth Goddess of the Earth, who was in charge of following the example of Heaven and emulating the virtues of the Earth Goddess.

Jiang Liu stepped forward, took off the reincarnation wristwatch with the word "error" displayed on the small screen, examined it carefully, and, unable to discern anything for the time being, put it in his pocket. However, he dared not wear it directly on his wrist, lest he be bound by the main god and become a reincarnator restricted by the main god.

"Brother Jiang, isn't this a bit much?" Lu Jin twitched his lips and complained.

I'll tell you the reason on the way back.

After saying that, Jiang Liu called Lu Jin, Li Muxuan and the others to join him.

Not one of the forty-two was missing.

In addition, the group also found the Smiling Tiger, who was already terrified and slightly mentally unstable, as well as thirty to fifty lucky soldiers who had escaped but were still trembling with fear.

Zhang Zhiwei walked up to him, raised his hand, and heard a "smack" sound.

Instantly, a handprint appeared on the smiling tiger's face.

He had sworn in his heart that he would definitely slap the smiling tiger.

Then, he grabbed the smiling tiger with both arms, shook him, and called out with concern, "General Sun, are you alright?"

Everyone: "......"

"Everyone, come here!"

At this moment, Lu Jin shouted to attract the attention of the monks and Taoists, took out a bottle containing yellow liquid from his pocket, and said, "This is the antidote for 'Genesis'. It has been verified and is real."

Everyone rushed forward.

With just one drop, the "Genesis" bacteria that gather in the intestinal vermiformes of people lose all their activity.

"Where are the other two foreigners?"

As Lu Jin distributed the antidote for "Genesis" to everyone, Jiang Liu noticed that Smith and Stephen Whitey were missing. He immediately changed the state of his brainwave turbulence and used his mental scanning skill to display the scene within a radius of hundreds of kilometers in his mind.

Smith and Stephen White were running through the mountains and forests, far away from Beiguo County and Nanwu Temple, but after running only a few kilometers, Smith accidentally tripped and fell headfirst into a sharp rock.

Fortunately, he was a magician, and the moment he fell, he mobilized the energy within him to temporarily strengthen his body, thus preventing himself from being killed by a rock.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu withdrew his mental scan—he did not help these two foreigners find and reconnect with their "past." From now on, these two must be extremely vigilant, whether they are eating, sleeping, or doing any other work, or they will surely meet with misfortune and die.

Without the past, the present becomes like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the current, easily capsized by the slightest ripple, let alone the future...

···

Damn it!

With a cut on his forehead, Smith grumbled, "This road is really hard to walk on!"

"Don't complain, this shouldn't be a problem with the road."

Stephen Whitey signaled to Smith not to waste time, that getting out of the forest quickly was the key, "We are much safer in an open area."

"What do you mean?"

Smith took out his wand and cast a healing spell on himself, temporarily stopping the bleeding. Then he cast a wind spell on himself to speed up his journey and catch up with Stephen Whitey, wanting to find out the reason.

"I cultivate chaotic life forms, so I'm quite sensitive to the energy flowing between heaven and earth. I didn't notice it in the Ghost Realm before, but guess what I've noticed now?"

"what?"

“We’re on Death’s list!” Stephen White exclaimed, his eyes wide with rage.
