Re-live your life and start speedrunning

"What I want to talk about now is the connection between you and this ghost area, Guixu."

"Although you have been eliminated in this assessment, after stealing this path to Guixu, your connection with it has become difficult to sever."

"So now, you have two choices."

"One is to leave here, completely fail the assessment, and then be wanted by the Yinshan Ghost Mansion in the mountains and seas, and become a lost dog."

"The other option is to stay here and become the master of 'Guixu' - here, you will become the second 'Son of the Yin' after me, controlling the ghost road and one end of reincarnation, having the power to decide life and death, and even have the power to make ghosts 'die' instantly."

"Of course, the price is that you have to stay here forever."

The old man's voice was low and drifting.

Li Re was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Become the second 'Son of the Yin'...become a ghost or god-level figure in one step?

and...

"Let ghosts die? Can ghosts die too?" Li Re asked.

"Yes, but no." The old man stroked his beard: "The answer is actually in your hands, isn't it?"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: When a person dies, he becomes a ghost; when a ghost dies, he becomes a genie; when a genie dies, he becomes a xi; when a xi dies, he becomes a yi."

"Humans have form and substance, ghosts have form but no substance, and demons have no form and no substance. If you look at them, you cannot see them; if you listen to them, you cannot hear them."

"After a ghost dies, it loses its form and perception."

"The thing that finally became..."

"'Soul core'?" Li Re understood.

Isn't the soul core the product of a ghost losing its form and perception?

"That's right. The names of the ghosts after they die, Xiyi and Xiyi, refer to the 'soul core'." The old man said, "For ghosts, sleeping is death, there is not much difference."

In other words.

Becoming the second Yin Tianzi, he has the power to make ghosts freeze, fall into dormancy, and become "soul cores" with just one word.

"Of course." The old man added, "Although they are all Xiyi, weak wandering souls cannot form soul cores because of their insufficient essence and the remaining power after sleeping. Only half-demonized evil spirits that still follow the mechanism but have a certain degree of autonomy can do it - as for the ghosts that are completely demonized and have complete consciousness, they have already embarked on another path."

"A completely demonized ghost is not stronger than a half-demonized ghost. In fact, it will become much weaker because it tends to be stable. But because it has a self, it has infinite possibilities."

"But that has nothing to do with you."

"Now, it's your turn to make a choice," the old man reminded.

For any park player, this seems to be an opportunity to reach the top in one step - no need to make any choice that requires thinking.

however--

"I choose the first option, get out of here!"

After digesting the knowledge the old man had said, Li Re said without hesitation, "That's it, I'm leaving!"

His words had not yet fallen.

The whole person turned around and left very quickly, walking towards the narrow path and the stone gate to leave.

Stay?

Reach the level of ghosts and gods in one step?

What a joke!

Is he such a lack-of-ambition person?

If he is wanted, then kill him if you have the guts!

Seeing Li Re turned around and left without hesitation, the old man did not try to stop him or call out to him. He just stood there in a daze, as if he had not expected him to be so resolute...

"really."

"He's better than me."

Until Li Re disappeared into the stone gate.

The old man seemed to come back to his senses and murmured in a low voice: "Guardian spirit, soul core, plus the power of reincarnation..."

"If I could be as resolute as he was back then, perhaps I wouldn't have been trapped here for a thousand years."

"'paradise'."

“What a nostalgic place!”

The murmurs gradually faded away.

The old man disappeared immediately.

This assessment competition with no winner seemed to have come to an end.

But the next second, there was another shouting and cursing voice——

"Who stole my keys?!"

Amid the shouting and cursing, a turtle with the hair of an old man crawled out of the darkness, panting.

Is this... the end?

...

[You have left Yinshan Ghost House]

[You can choose to leave the current dungeon world at any time and return to reality (if you do not choose, you will automatically return after one hour)]

At the same time, this voice rang in Li Re's ears as he left the stone gate.

The scene he could see when he pushed the door open was naturally the place where he had just answered the question.

However, amidst the dark green flickering in the darkness, surrounded by the ghost faces carved on the stone pillars, there was no one there.

"Those three guys didn't even bother to wait for me."

Li Re was slightly disappointed.

I thought I could have one more fight before leaving!

he thought.

In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Anyway, this time, I have gained something!

"'Paradise' system, I choose to leave." Li Re muttered to himself, and the next second, his figure took a step forward and disappeared into the air on the spot.

And after he left.

At the original place, as the shadows dissipated, a human figure appeared.

"he's gone."

Dressed in black, it is hard to tell whether he is a man or a woman - Shi Yan has become a monster, while Mo Yan, who has no concept of gender, has a cold expression.

"I thought you would invite him to your ink pool!" Dragon Girl Yu Su glanced at Mo Yan lightly: "After all, even if we don't consider the so-called life-saving grace, that human is worth winning over."

Obviously, the Dragon Girl doesn't really care about the life-saving grace - she may have felt guilty before, but not much, and most of it was just a disguise...

What she really cares about is the value demonstrated by Li Re!

"He won't agree." Mo Yan responded decisively: "Instead of being rejected in person, it's better not to meet him directly. Maybe there will be a way out in the future."

"That's right." The dragon girl thought about it and nodded.

She looked at Tushan Luoluo on the other side again: "Hey, stop looking, everyone has left."

Tushan Luoluo suddenly came back to her senses and glared at Yu Suqing.

"You fox, are you falling in love with that guy?" Yu Su blinked and suddenly felt a little curious: "But it's true, after all, he saved my life - and twice."

One time was by the Forgotten River.

Once, it was during the final "Homesickness" question and answer session.

"Guess?" Tushan Luoluo raised her fox eyes and snorted.

"I won't guess." Yu Su shook his head lightly: "I don't want to be fooled by a stupid fox like you - in this world, I have always been the one who deceives others, and there has never been a reason for me to be deceived by others!"

"I'm leaving first." Mo Yan glanced at them and disappeared.

The dragon girl and the fox looked at each other.

"It's time to go." Tushan Luoluo said, "The Mountain and Sea Realm is so small anyway. With his abilities, we will definitely meet again in the future!"

"Then we'll see who gets there first!" Yu Suqing replied.

The words fell.

Yu Suqing also disappeared in an instant - at least in terms of the speed of leaving, she was indeed ahead of Tushan Luoluo.

Tushan Luoluo stood still and took another look at the place where Li Re was standing before he left.

She closed her eyes gently.

It was as if I recalled the pain and struggle I saw in the last "Homeland"... and the back of the man in the light that I saw when I opened my eyes.

The fox demon from Tushan couldn't help but smile on her beautiful face.

That was a life-saving grace.

But it was simply a life-saving grace.

But her life is worthless!

She flicked her skirt.

Also left.

Having left Yinshan Mountain and escaped the suppression of the ghost field, they all showed extraordinary power at this moment.

That is something Li Re could never compare to. He was able to travel through space freely and was truly powerful!

...

real world.

In the provincial capital city, in a rented cottage on the edge of Jiangcheng River.

The incandescent lamp hanging from the ceiling flickered suddenly, and the next second, Li Re, who had disappeared in reality not long ago, appeared directly in the house.

He opened his eyes.

The darkness in his vision quickly faded away, and what emerged was a scene that was extremely familiar to him.

came back.

Li Re, who had no idea how many times he had experienced this feeling of disorientation during space teleportation, managed to stabilize his shaking consciousness very easily.
