From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Such natural power is something that even a strong person who has unlocked the third stage of the gene lock might not be able to withstand!

Xiao Honglu was also extremely puzzled by Jiang Liu's confidence as a "plot character." In his opinion, as long as Imhotep wasn't destroyed by the Golden Book of the Sun, this monster was actually unsolvable!

"Imhotep is definitely not a problem."

Chu Xuan, however, shared the same view as Jiang Liu: "I used to be indifferent to the existence of ghosts and monsters, but after learning about Taoism, Buddhism and other religions and their cultivation principles, I feel that such existences are also science, which can be defined as supernatural science, or science that has not been included in the existing scientific concepts."

Imhotep himself wasn't strong, but the spells he cast were extremely powerful. If I'm not mistaken—"

At this point, Chu Xuan turned to Jiang Liu and asked him for confirmation, "Is Imhotep able to unleash such a large-scale sandstorm by utilizing the effect of the aura?"

"clever!"

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "A Qi formation is like a cultivator who has mastered the circulation of Qi throughout the body. However, just as a human's circulation of Qi ultimately requires a physical body, the existence of a Qi formation also requires the support of real mountains, rivers, and lakes. In essence, it is a form of transformation between matter, energy, and information..."

"Wait, can you not make it so complicated?" Zheng Zha interrupted Jiang Liu, his eyes wide open. "Say something we can understand."

"I understand now."

It was Zhan Lan who spoke up, "So, Imhotep needed to rely on his aura to cause such a large-scale sandstorm, right?"

"You can interpret it that way if you want."

Jiang Liu nodded, but he hadn't expected that there would be such a place in Egypt, where Hamnata, the death capital of Imhotep, and the legendary Amshe Oasis, where the Scorpion King was said to reside.

"I see."

Zheng Zha understood, "As long as Imhotep doesn't cast any spells, right?"

"You could say that."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he asked, "Do you want to cooperate? I'm not very interested in the Book of the Dead or the Book of the Sun, but I am quite interested in the principles of Imhotep's resurrection."

No matter how peculiar the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Sun may be, they are just two books made of special materials, or keys used by spellcasters to connect with the Qi formation, just like the Hetu Plate and Luoshu Plate in the Kunpeng Qi Formation now.

However, once one reaches the "Heavenly Connection" realm, one can connect with the Qi structure without a key, amplifying the power of magic to an extremely terrifying level.

Therefore, Jiang Liu was not interested in these two books, but rather had a strong desire to explore the form in which Imhotep could be perfectly resurrected.

A mummified corpse, dried up for thousands of years, with all its internal organs destroyed and its brain completely gone, was able to achieve a near-perfect resurrection—

The primordial Qi gives rise to all things!

If Imhotep's resurrection is true, then the only possibility Jiang Liu can think of is that ancient Egypt possessed the ability to use the Qi (vital energy) to infuse a mummy with a wisp of primordial Qi, enabling it to carry the soul of the deceased.

Because this resurrection goes against the natural order, the wisp of primordial energy can only maintain the mummy's activity, and cannot utilize the primordial energy's ability to evolve all things to directly revive the mummy to its optimal state before death.

Afterward, the resurrected mummy can take the innate Qi of the living to evolve its own flesh and blood, in order to achieve a perfect resurrection.

Jiang Liu wanted to use this opportunity to understand the specific operating procedures.

In addition, he also wanted to figure out how Imhotep's soul had been preserved.

Tuat, the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology?

Or it could be a strange space similar to Lanruo Ghost Realm, but the difference is that Lanruo Ghost Realm is formed by the accumulation of many ghosts, which creates the Great Black Mountain Underworld and Heavenly Palace. Because spirits and yin spirits also need to rely on qi to exist, when there are many of them, they will instinctively gather together to form something like the Great Black Mountain.

Logically, if Imhotep and Ankur had died thousands of years ago, their souls would no longer exist.

Unless one is like Liu Quan of Ping Mountain, who sets up an array and uses the energy field to reconstruct the soul that has long since dissipated—could it be that the energy field of Hamunaptra, through the connection of the "key" of the Book of Death (achieving heavenly connection) and the execution of corresponding operations (reciting incantations), can achieve the goal of reconstructing the soul?

Therefore, it is even more necessary to understand the potential atmospheric conditions in Hamunaptra.

"The principle behind the mummy's resurrection?"

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and nodded, saying, "I'm also quite interested, but the current situation isn't very optimistic."

Other teams also entered this timeline: the East America team, the Indian team, and the East China Sea team. They arrived earlier than us and must have made preparations in advance… The Scorpion King has most likely already appeared.”

"The supreme god doesn't treat us like human beings at all!"

Zhang Jie was furious and cursed, "If you ever have the chance, Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan, you must break free from the control of the God of War."

Zheng Zha remained silent.

Break free from the main god?

Chu Xuan glanced at Zhang Jie and then continued to Jiang Liu: "The main god will change the difficulty of horror movies, but it can't be as outrageous as nonsensical animation."

Theoretically, there is no way to directly enhance the strength of the monsters we face; we must influence them through existing conditions. For example, with the Xenomorph, it's about increasing the number of infected individuals.

If it didn't break down, then the horror movie might be a simulated hallucination.

Upon hearing this...

Zheng Zha's spirits trembled, and he became extremely nervous.

What if everything is a virtual illusion—

Does that mean that the place he went back to was just a simulation by the main god?

With the power of the Supreme God, it is not impossible to simulate a virtual illusion that is exactly the same as reality!

But is all of this really fake?

No!

Zheng Zha was absolutely certain of this; at least in the previous horror movie, the main god had given several "error" prompts when facing Jiang Liu.

therefore!

Horror movies are all based on real parallel worlds!

"So what if it's fake? We can just make it look real."

Jiang Liu doesn't dwell too much on philosophical questions such as the reality or illusion of the world, or the truth or falsehood of self-awareness. Even if something is false, his thoughts, spirit, and mind are real and authentic, so there's no need to be troubled by them.

"Do you want to join Team Central?"

Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up, "Since I went back last time, I discovered that the God of War can actually invite characters from horror movies, but certain conditions need to be met... This also proves that the horror movie worlds chosen by the God of War are parallel worlds."

If Jiang Liu can join the Zhongzhou team, then he will be able to save a lot of brain cells in the future.

Zheng Zha...

This guy seems to be losing his mind right now!

"You've brought this upon yourselves by struggling in the cycle of reincarnation, so don't drag me into it."

Jiang Liu refused without hesitation, chuckling, "I've always understood the meaning of life, which is to carry out the work of 'Nuwa patching up the sky' with the sincerity of 'Yu Gong moving mountains.' Our predecessors forged ahead, and we carry on their legacy. If we lack the ability, we should not cause trouble or act recklessly, but simply settle down, start a family, and live a good life."

And you all—

To put it bluntly, they're all fucking rotten apples! And not even sweet ones!

“One is troubled by love, immersed in the past.” — Zheng Zha opened his mouth, but was speechless.

"Someone with a congenital genetic defect has a tendency to self-destruct." — Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said nothing.

"Someone who is aware of the evil in human nature and is disillusioned with reality." — Zhan Lan frowned, wondering how Jiang Liu knew her thoughts?

and many more!

Could it be because of those specks of light?

"A... I don't even know if you can be considered human." — Zhang Jie's mouth twitched, thinking to himself: This guy's cultivation level is ridiculously high!

"A sniper actually has psychological problems that lead to his taciturn nature." — Zero was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Liu to be able to see through his inner issues.

"A guy who's caught in a mental breakdown because he can't admit he helped others rob tombs." — Qi Tengyi lowered his head, looking dejected upon hearing this.

“A girl who, at this stage, can barely be considered to know what she should do in the future.” — Zhao Yingkong snorted and retorted, “Then I really have to thank you!”

Jiang Liu ignored them and looked at Xiao Honglu and Qin Zhuiyu.

"Of the remaining two, one seems to be used to being alone and lacks a sense of belonging; the other seems to be a woman of the night, insecure and only thinking about finding someone to rely on." — Xiao Honglu and Qin Zhuiyu both showed surprise when Jiang Liu revealed their true nature.

[How could a character in the story possess such insight?]

Incredible!

Xiao Honglu was shocked, realizing that in front of such a person, everything about him would be seen through.

That's absolutely terrifying!

“Brother Jiang, we’re just ordinary people. Who knew that once we clicked ‘yes,’ we would really be unable to control our own lives?” As the team leader, Zheng Zha felt he had to say something.

"You dare talk back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu exuded an extremely condensed aura that enveloped Zheng Zha and his group, causing them to tremble all over.

Is this all of Jiang Liu's strength?

Zheng Zha originally thought that he had unlocked the third stage of the gene lock, and after his last return, he strengthened his advanced internal skills, opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, and achieved the Great Circulation. His mutated bloodline had also improved, and he was now comparable to Jiang Liu.

But now, upon comparison—

He still couldn't see the difference.

And what's going on with this atmosphere right now?

They were like elementary school students being scolded by their teacher, and Jiang Liu was just short of blurting out, "You are the worst class I have ever taught!"

"Seriously, you're the worst class I've ever taught!"

Through the illusionary realm, Jiang Liu sensed that Zheng Zha's brainwaves were pulsating intensely. After a slight perception, he used his "mind reading" to figure out Zheng Zha's thoughts and then shook his head and sighed as he uttered these words.

Zheng Zha was speechless again.

"Have you led other people before?" Zhao Yingkong asked abruptly after Jiang Liu had calmed down.

"I've taken care of them. Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, and the others don't require much of my attention."

Jiang Liu counted on his thumb, naming each person one by one, and said in a serious tone, "They are the first batch, and you are the second batch."

Zhao Yingkong's eyelids twitched, and she felt once again that Jiang Liu's sense of humor was a bit too much for someone from the Republican era.

Zheng Zha was completely speechless.

But this wasn't the time for bickering. Seeing Jonathan already on the execution ground, a rope the thickness of a baby's fist around his neck, Xiao Honglu said, "Aren't we going to save him? What if things change and O'Connor really gets hanged?"

"He won't die. What the God wants is for us teams to fight each other. It's pointless to change the plot and cause us all to be wiped out."

Seeing that Xiao Honglu was inclined to cause trouble, Chu Xuan glanced over and patiently explained to him, "If we rashly intervene to rescue him, it will not only attract the attention of the prison guards, but will also most likely expose our location."

"Exposed location?" Xiao Honglu was taken aback, but then he realized something: the East America team, the Indian team, and the East China Sea team had entered the "horror movie" world before them.

This means that they definitely had people secretly observing the situation in the prison, and if they made any move, their location and target could be identified by the enemy.
