The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

"I think it's quite the opposite." Kurumizaka Ruri thought for a moment, then said, "Shu-kun isn't from Japan, so he probably doesn't know about the online rumors about ninjas that have always existed among the Japanese people."

"What rumors?"

When Luo Shu heard what Kurumizaka Ruri said, his heart skipped a beat.

Because he inevitably thought of a classic Japanese IP in the otherworldly works that contains the classic element of "ninja".

Considering that this derivative world is closely related to works related to the other world, and now there are online discussion posts about elves from another world visiting the Japanese Ministry of Education, it is hard for him not to worry about the future of this derivative world.

Chapter 27: The Mysterious Ninja Rumor in Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees

"Shu Jun, what are you thinking about?"

Kurumizaka Ruri noticed that Luo Shu's brows furrowed and he began to lose his focus after hearing what she said. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, "Shu-kun, come back to your senses."

"Sorry." Luo Shu quickly gathered his scattered thoughts after hearing this, and then gently hugged Kurumizaka Ruri into his arms. "You just mentioned that there have been rumors about ninjas on the Internet among the people of Fuso. What are they specifically?"

"Let me think about it." Kurumizaka Ruri took out her phone and looked through her photo album for a while before saying, "Well, the rumor first appeared on an online forum more than ten years ago, but the forum has been closed down for a long time now.

The general content of this post is that after Japan's defeat in World War II, because Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by atomic bombs, a channel connecting to another world may have appeared in Japan.

The poster claimed that when he was looking up information, he found that people in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki had witnessed the figures of mysterious ninjas, and he asserted that these mysterious ninjas came from a parallel world, and that these mysterious ninjas came to Fuso in order to hunt down the terrifying demons that accidentally broke into Fuso through the time and space channel.

But later, after those mysterious ninjas eliminated the demons that were secretly harming the people, they fled into the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees and disappeared from people's sight.

The poster proposed a conspiracy theory that the Fuso government had secretly reached a secret cooperation with these mysterious ninjas, and firmly believed that there was a secret base built by these mysterious ninjas deep in the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees.

"Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees? Why does it sound familiar?"

"It's the forest with the highest suicide rate in Fuso that Shu-kun imagined."

Kurumizaka Ruri gathered her thoughts, then methodically continued while looking at the screenshots on her phone, "This post from ten years ago said that the high suicide rate in Aokigahara Forest was actually fake news deliberately promoted by the Fuso government.

The poster of this post claimed that the vast majority of people who disappeared in Aokigahara Forest, except for a few who committed suicide, were brutally killed or abducted by demons hunted by mysterious ninjas after entering the Aokigahara Forest out of curiosity.

Of course, the poster of this post might be a fan of mysticism, so he also proposed the hypothesis of "God's disappearance". I think Shujun knows what "God's disappearance" is.

"I roughly understand." Luo Shu nodded. "The so-called 'kamikakushi' (meaning hidden by gods and monsters) refers to the so-called 'hiding by gods and monsters' in Fuso culture. It generally refers to the mysterious phenomenon encountered by those who have been abducted, kidnapped, or entertained by them and whose whereabouts are unknown."

"That's right." Kurumizaka Ruri nodded slightly. "You probably don't know that Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees is also one of the birthplaces of Fuso's most famous Kamikakushi legends in recent years."

"I see." Luo Shu fell into deep thought. "If rumors about the mysterious ninja only appeared in Fuso after World War II, then how did the poster get this information more than half a century later?"

"I don't know about that," Kurumizaka Ruri shrugged. "Most of the posts on this online forum ten years ago disappeared into the vast ocean of information when the website was shut down. You know how difficult it is to find information on the internet, where information changes so rapidly."

"That's true, but were you able to take screenshots with your phone ten years ago?"

"That's not the case. I actually asked some occult enthusiasts in my school for these screenshots when I was in junior high school." Kurumizaka Ruri briefly explained the origin of these screenshots on her phone.

"I met Setsuna and Reina when I was in junior high school. Back then, we were really into urban legends and internet rumors, so we collected a lot of information."

"I see. It seems you girls are really easily interested in the occult."

"After all, the occult is very interesting. Setsuna and I even studied tarot divination."

Luo Shu heard this and wanted to say something more, but he saw the bedroom door was pushed open, and then heard Sasaki Setsuna say after opening the door,

"Liuli, is Ashu up yet?"

"It's up."

Luo Shu looked at Sasaki Setsuna and smiled at her gently. Then he let go of Kurumizaka Ruri and said to her as he got out of bed, "Let's talk about this first. I'll tell you everything after breakfast."

"it is good."

Kurumizaka Ruri didn't say much and quietly put away her phone.

"Xuecai, you've worked hard." Luo Shu walked to the bedroom door in his pajamas and gave her a gentle hug. "Where's Reina?"

"She's watching in the kitchen." Sasaki Setsuna was a little jealous when she found out that Luo Shu chose to stay in bed just to whisper something to Kurumizaka Ruri. However, Luo Shu's hug quickly calmed her down. She gently kissed Luo Shu's cheek and said, "Ashu, Reina and I prepared some Chinese breakfast for you this morning."

"I am looking forward."

Luo Shu gently let go of Sasaki Setsuna, then scratched her delicate nose affectionately and said with a smile,

"I'm going to go wash up first. Liuli, after you change your clothes, you and Xuecai should go to the living room and wait for me."

"I understand." Kurumizaka Ruri said weakly. She put on her clothes and said in a soft voice, "Shu Jun, you better hurry up."

"Yeah." After hearing this, Luo Shu walked towards the bathroom and prepared to wash up.

When he finished washing up, took care of his personal hygiene and took care of his appearance, he went back to the bedroom to change into casual sportswear, and then walked into the living room.

After taking a seat at the main seat, Luo Shu glanced at the three women who had been waiting for a long time and slowly said, "Let's eat. After we finish eating, I have good news to tell you."

"What good news?" Hamasaki Reina was a little curious and urged without knowing the reason, "Shu-kun, tell us now."

"That's right, Shu and Liuli stayed in bed for so long just now, so hurry up and tell the truth about what you said." Sasaki Setsuna agreed, "It's too unfair if only Liuli knows."

"Don't talk while eating or sleeping. This is the rule in my house." Luo Shu glared at the two of them and said in a cold tone, "I told Liuli, and I will tell you the same thing later. Let's eat first."

"Oh." When Setsuna Sasaki and Reina Hamasaki heard what Luo Shu said, they didn't dare to speak anymore.

More importantly, Luo Shu mentioned the "family rules". They didn't want to destroy Luo Shu's dignity as the "head of the family" just after joining this family.

The Japanese women have an innate admiration for the strong, which makes them often show a very unique obedience after they are convinced by the opposite sex.

After breakfast, Luo Shu did not stop the three women from cleaning up after the meal, but sat on the sofa and watched TV calmly.

After they finished their work and came back to sit on the sofa, he thought for a moment and then said straight to the point, "Liuli and I just accidentally discovered a possibility that could allow you to become superpowered people."

"Wait, Shu-kun, you said it was an accident?" Hamasaki Reina was thinking, "What did you and Liuli do?"

"That's it." Kurumizaka Ruri didn't hide anything. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she gestured, "Got it?"

"Liuli, you actually cheated?" Sasaki Setsuna was shocked. "You're going too far!"

"I just want to relieve some stress for Shu-kun."

Kurumizaka Ruri's tone was a little lacking in confidence. After all, she had just implicitly admitted the fact that she had cheated.

"Then you can't eat it secretly." Sasaki Setsuna was furious. "When Reina and I were preparing breakfast, you actually ate it secretly. Are you being worthy of us?"

"I'm sorry." Kurumizaka Ruri stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and then said with a smile, "Yukina, at worst I'll let you eat more later."

"Cough cough cough..."

Hearing these lewd words, Luo Shu couldn't help but cough lightly and forced the subject back, "Alright, both of you stop messing around and let me finish what I'm saying."

"Oh."

After hearing this, the three girls looked at each other, sat up straight, and tacitly chose to shut their mouths.

Luo Shu tried to sort out his disrupted thoughts, but found that he didn't know where to start.

In the end, he chose a very direct and effective approach.

That is to conduct a live demonstration of the technique!

Chapter 28: Demonstrating the Ice-Freezing Technique for the Girls (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

In fact, Luo Shu originally thought that even after activating [Mysterious Presence], if he wanted to master superpowers such as magic, he would need to consume a large amount of world origin points.

However, when he accidentally made the right decision, successfully awakened his inherent ability [Iron Will (EX)], and accidentally resolved the side effects of [Natural Flesh (C)], the combined strength of his body, will, and spirit when he activated [Mystic Presence] allowed him to master the mysterious skill [Ether Coding] that best suited him the moment he broke the mysterious shackles of the human body, as if by epiphany.

However, he was so immersed in the novelty brought by the mysterious skill of [Ether Coding] that he forgot to check its corresponding exchange value in the [Fantasy Exchange] function.

While eating breakfast, the reason why Luo Shu talked about "don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping" was essentially because he could only do two things at the same time for the time being.

Simply put, with Luo Shu's current mental strength, it is very easy to eat and chat at the same time. However, on the basis of eating and chatting, if he continues to divide his mind and use his consciousness to connect to the World Tree Terminal in his mind to browse the fantasy creation exchange list in [Fantasy Exchange], he will be a little overwhelmed.

Therefore, he came to his senses and remembered that after he activated [Mysterious Transcendence], the first mysterious skill he mastered by himself, [Ether Coding], his understanding of it actually only stayed at the various effects that could be brought about by different levels of proficiency in the skill.

Therefore, when he saw the true value of [Ether Code] and that it was actually listed in the fantasy exchange list of 10,000 World Origin Points, he realized that mastering this mysterious skill was equivalent to mastering a complete mysterious system.

The most powerful aspect of this mysterious system is that it is built on the basis of "ether", a mysterious energy that alchemists believe is the fifth element of the universe. This allows him to practice alchemy without any obstacles in the future.

In mysticism, the free ether in the universe is the root of mystery and the most original mysterious energy in the universe.

Therefore, relying on the mysterious compatibility of ether itself, the ether ritual system it constructs can switch and be used between various mysterious systems based on derivative energies such as magic, elements, demonic energy, spiritual energy, resentment, and curse power, regardless of the restrictions of the world's rules.

This is somewhat similar to making the two major operating systems, Android and IOS, compatible under the same operating system framework, so as to maintain the independence of the two operating systems and achieve the integration and use of all the functions of the two operating systems.

According to the information provided by the World Tree Terminal, the so-called etheric ritual system can be regarded as the source of all secondary mysterious systems.

Luo Shu recalled the relevant information description of [Mysterious Overlimit] and discovered that the mysterious growth of this thing varies from person to person.

Luo Shu speculated that if he had not activated [Natural Flesh (C)] and failed to awaken his inherent ability [Iron Will (EX)], and had directly chosen to activate [Mystical Transcendence], even if he had still unlocked the mysterious shackles in his body, he would probably never be able to master a mysterious skill like an epiphany in the first place.

Now Luo Shu finally understood that the price of [Mysterious Overlimit] in the fantasy exchange list of [Fantasy Exchange] was only 100 World Origin Points.

Because [Mysterious Overlimit] itself is not special, the real way to stimulate its true effect is written directly in the name.

The word "translimit" in mysterious translimit means, as the name suggests, exceeding the limits of the human body.

Once you surpass the limits of the human body, nature will be enough to unlock the mysterious shackles in your body.

【Natural Body (C)】allows Luo Shu's physical fitness to exceed the human limit that ordinary people can reach through fitness training.

[Iron Will (EX)] allowed his personal will to reach a level strong enough to overcome "excessive desires" and perfectly control [Natural Flesh (C)], which also exceeded the limits of individual human will.

As for Luo Shu's mental strength, after he experienced the time travel and was lucky enough to obtain the World Tree Seed, his mental strength reserves were enough to support him to go without sleep for 14 days without any physical or mental discomfort. This has also exceeded the maximum time that ordinary humans can go without sleep.

You know, under normal circumstances, ordinary people can go without sleep for up to about 11 days. Once it exceeds 11 days, there may be a risk of life. Luo Shu may feel uncomfortable only after not sleeping for 14 days.

It can be said that the comprehensive strength of Luo Shu's physical fitness, willpower, and mental reserve at this time have unknowingly crossed the threshold of the human body's limits.

Therefore, it was only natural that he was able to master the mysterious skills as if by sudden enlightenment the moment [Mysterious Transcendence] was activated.

However, it is completely impossible to replicate the process that happened to Luo Shu.

Even if you let Luo Shu restart now, he can't guarantee that his awakened inherent ability will still be [Iron Will (EX)]. If it weren't for the solution to the side effect of [Natural Body (C)] "Excess Desire", there would be no way to talk about it.

After all, human willpower is influenced by many factors such as the external environment, physical condition, age, and degree of mental concentration. The miraculous flowers that bloom under the light of human nature are often unique.

Just as you cannot find two identical flowers in the world, it is impossible for a person to step into the same river twice in his life.

The so-called inherent ability is a miraculous flower that can only be born after the brilliance of human nature is lit up. This is because its existence itself is incredible and its birth process itself is not replicable.

This made Luo Shu understand why he could not find inherent abilities like [Iron Will (EX)] in the fantasy exchange list of [Fantasy Exchange].

The so-called inherent ability is not a fantasy but better than a fantasy. It is a miracle within the reach of all human beings who have the brilliance to illuminate humanity.

However, after awakening their inherent abilities, most people are often limited by their own cognitive level and do not immediately notice the changes happening to themselves.

After all, not everyone is as lucky as Luo Shu to own a "World Tree Seed", a "plug-in" that can remind him of updates to his personal information anytime and anywhere.

Far away.

Back to the topic, Luo Shu began to demonstrate the first technique he developed to Kurumizaka Ruri, Sasaki Setsuna, and Hamasaki Reina.

"The water in this bottle of mineral water is liquid now, right?"

Luo Shu stood up and walked to the kitchen, where he took a 1L bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. He then looked around at the three women and asked, "What conditions do you think need to be met to freeze a bottle of water like this?"
