Please be my partner.

With their firepower fully unleashed, Mellen's advance became even faster.

Deep within Wushan Mountain, a strangely towering pavilion stands. At this moment, Yin Kui's appearance is no longer that of a pale-faced scholar, but has transformed into a noblewoman of sixteen, awaiting marriage.

Pale light shone through the carved window lattice onto Yin Kui, who sat quietly in front of the sandalwood dressing table. She wore an elegant embroidered long dress, with gold threads swaying gently with the hem, like the shimmering surface of a lake.

Her face was exquisite, her skin as white as snow, and her eyes, like those of a phoenix, held deep affection. With each glance, she seemed capable of captivating a nation, her beauty otherworldly.

Unfortunately, even though the Yin Puppet has a pair of eyes that can speak, it still cannot hide its exquisite face that cannot make any other expressions, adding a slight flaw to its perfection.

As Yin Kui was admiring his new image in the mirror, he suddenly sensed a message coming from afar and saw a scene from a period of time before the two paper figures were destroyed.

Yin Kui adjusted his facial expression, forcing a smile, before saying, "Interesting, it's just a mischievous little mouse?"

"Go and bring him here."

Without a sound, several figures darted out of the pavilion and headed towards the rift valley where Mellen was.

Meanwhile, more and more paper figures began to gather near the rift valley. They were all sent out by the Yin Puppet to investigate the situation. The two paper figures that discovered Mellen were just two of them.

Now these paper figures have received orders to immediately come to the vicinity of the rift valley. Their mission is certainly not to attack Melen. In fact, with the golden-armored soldiers guarding them, these paper figures are no match for them. Their role is simply to monitor and delay.

Mellen naturally sensed the gathering of the paper figures and muttered to himself, "Looks like we've really messed with a formidable fellow."

However, Mellen was not worried at all, because he was already very close to being granted the divine favor.

After their extreme burst of energy and the increasing injuries sustained during the intense fighting, the eighteen golden-armored soldiers finally began to suffer casualties.

Sixteen statues...

Thirteen statues...

Ten...

Six...

When the number of golden-armored soldiers fell below a certain threshold, Mellen's efficiency in killing ghosts also began to drop precipitously. In fact, with the ghosts' numbers increasing, they launched an even more ferocious offensive, determined to tear Mellen, this human, apart.

Once the last golden-armored soldier was swallowed up, there was no longer any protection in front of Mellen, leaving him to face the surging demons.

Although the talisman temporarily stopped the ghosts from moving, they were restless and the talisman couldn't hold them off for long.

In addition, the Rift Ghosts are also wary of those paper figures.

Upon seeing the situation in the rift, the paper figures moved closer, seemingly ready to intervene at any moment. However, their target was not Melen, but the ghosts.

Because the paper figures were ordered to bring Mellen back, even if he was dead, but the body had to be intact, so they couldn't let him be devoured by the ghosts.

Sensing this delicate situation, Murren felt somewhat amused and exasperated, but even without the unexpected intervention of the paper figures, Murren would have been fine.

With the last golden-armored soldier perishing together with a ghost, Mellen completed his mission; everything had been calculated perfectly.

The illusory torrent appeared before Mellen once again, but this time it was no longer out of reach. As Mellen reached out and touched it, his spirit, mind, and soul were instantly absorbed into this magnificent power.

Mellen's perspective began to elevate, rise, and transcend, being propelled to an extremely high level. In the distance, a huge book that encompassed heaven and earth appeared before him.

Mellen knew that this was the 'Heavenly Book List'. At the same time, Mellen also discovered that the 'book' was just a concrete entity. Whether it was a stone tablet, a jade slip, or even a USB flash drive, it didn't matter. These were just images that intelligent life instinctively gave to the 'Heavenly Book List' after seeing it. The real 'Heavenly Book List' was a concept, a rule, and it did not have a fixed form in itself.

Under Mellen's gaze, the 'Book of Names' slowly unfolded, and then his name was imprinted at the bottom.

Suddenly, Mellen felt that he had gained a kind of authority, the authority to use human power within the scope of humanity covered by the 'Heavenly Book List' in the Ghost Carriage World!

That's right, the 'Heavenly Book List' is not actually limited to the Ghost Carriage World, but is a power that circulates throughout the Outer Heavens.

Under normal circumstances, humanitarian forces are hidden within the world; they silently maintain the world's operation and subtly influence or change it, but cannot be used by people.

However, as a fragment of the real main continent, the Ghost Carriage World happens to contain a portion of the core rules of humanistic power, which is why it appears in the form of the 'Heavenly Book List', giving the people of this world the possibility of controlling humanistic power.

Feeling the immense power of humanity that permeates this universe, even though Mellen could only mobilize a tiny fraction of it, it was enough to make him burst into laughter.

What people really hate is not the dongle, but the fact that the dongle is not themselves!

When Mellen received the divine gift, it seemed to take a long time, but in reality it was just a trivial moment.

When things returned to normal, everything was different.

However, there's no time to study those things now; the most urgent task is to deal with the ghosts in front of us.

With access to the 'Heavenly Book Directory', the original suppression on Mellen was naturally relieved to some extent. Although it was far from enough to restore him to his full strength, it was still enough to deal with some ghosts.

Chapter 675 The Method of Commanding the Gods

Mellen looked at the paper figures and the ghosts.

Although this is the territory of the Rift Valley Ghosts, the paper dolls are subordinates of a high-level being and carry the aura of that being, so they naturally exert great suppression on the former.

After a brief period of tension, the Rift Valley monsters ultimately chose to retreat.

Just as Mellen was about to strike and wipe out both sides, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.

When Mellen looked up, he saw four figures rushing toward him.

Upon closer inspection, Mellen discovered that the four figures were actually lifelike wooden puppets. However, compared to the gray clothes on the paper figures, his clothes were black and had more decorations in the details, which immediately raised the level of his appearance.

Upon seeing the wooden figure arrive, the paper figures respectfully parted to make way, as if there were a clear superior-subordinate relationship between them.

Without uttering a single word, the wooden figures lunged straight at Mellen, and judging from the angle of their attacks, their targets were Mellen's limbs, seemingly intending to capture him alive if possible.

Seeing this, Mellen naturally didn't say anything more, and reached out to draw a symbol in the air in front of him, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

The symbol is not complicated, but it is full of ancient and desolate feeling, like an abstract sun.

In an instant, endless light and heat burst forth from the symbol, as if a great sun had truly risen in the rift valley, and it was a magnificent sun filled with the most powerful and yang energy that had never appeared in the Ghost Carriage World before.

The blazing light spread through the rift valley, sweeping away all darkness and filth. Ghosts, paper figures, and wooden figures, powerless to resist, were burned to ashes.

The masculine energy surged and spread, and even the aftershocks severely injured or killed low-level ghosts within a radius of more than ten kilometers. Even the higher-level ghosts felt fear and trembled, instinctively fleeing in the opposite direction.

In the attic, Yin Kui suddenly stood up, knocking over all the clutter on the dressing table. Although her face was expressionless, her eyes flashed with intense shock, and faint wisps of fire could be seen burning fine cracks into her eyeballs.

After a long while, Yin Kui slowly sat down, looking at himself in the dressing mirror, lost in thought.

Humming an unknown tune, Mellen returned to the small sand village.

This divinely ordained entry into the register greatly pleased Mellen. Just as in other worlds, Mellen could unlock his talents and powers through martial arts, in the Ghost Carriage world, the 'Heavenly Book Register' was undoubtedly the right 'key'.

After this period of research, Mellen discovered that there are indeed similarities between talismans and martial arts. The most obvious one is that after martial arts reaches the second step of the legendary path, legendary qualities can be born, and the manifestation of legendary qualities is similar to talismans.

Mellen vaguely felt that by studying the talismans, he might even be able to optimize the legendary qualities to some extent.

In addition, Mellen had previously considered how to use his own power through talismans. After being granted the inscription, he tried it out and was not disappointed. The power he displayed far exceeded his expectations because, in addition to his own strength, it was also enhanced by the power of humanity.

Of course, even if the power he had displayed earlier was not entirely satisfactory, Mellen had nothing to worry about. After all, he still had a large number of talismans and two high-quality Six Ding Six Jia talismans, so escaping safely would definitely not be a problem.

It is often said that the beginning is always the hardest, and this is certainly true for Mellen.

In the room the villagers had prepared especially for him, Mellen entered a meditative state, and the "Heaven's Heart Belongs to Me" technique gradually began to operate.

【Heaven's Heart Belongs to Me】This is a supernatural secret technique that even the Daoist Venerable Jin Yu Zu Shi praised. Naturally, it has its unique features. Now, Mellen is increasingly able to feel the special nature of this technique.

Under the illumination of "Heaven's Will Be With Me," the torrent of humanity once again appeared before Mellen, countless mysteries flowing in his eyes. As he analyzed the power of humanity, Mellen's authority gradually increased.

Indeed, compared to others who can only improve their authority by upholding humanity, Mellen's method of understanding the essence of humanitarian power is undoubtedly more direct and faster.

Furthermore, the improvement of the former may be okay at the beginning, but the difficulty will increase exponentially as you go on, until it will stop completely after a certain point, and there will be no more room for improvement.

There is only one way to completely control the power of humanity through this method: become the undisputed king of countless worlds beyond the heavens!

This is clearly impossible; even if one obtains the Dao Fruit of the Epoch and becomes the King of the Epoch, it would still be very difficult to achieve.

But Mellen is different. He starts directly from the essence of human power, and he has no inherent bottlenecks. He can control as much as he analyzes.

Of course, Murren could also use humanitarian principles to gain more authority, which can be described as a two-pronged approach.

As the analysis continued, Mellen could clearly feel his mark penetrating deeper into the humanistic torrent. To put it more vividly, his name occupied an increasingly larger area in the 'Heavenly Book Register'.

Just as Mellen was immersed in the wonderful state of reflecting the heavens with his own heart, he suddenly sensed a discordant aura and temporarily stopped his cultivation. After carefully sensing, Mellen discovered that there was a ghostly creature constantly lingering on the outskirts of Xiaosha Village.

You should know that Xiaosha Village originally had a local earth god temple, and ordinary ghosts would never approach it. Now, with the talisman given by Mellen, it has become a forbidden zone for ghosts. How could any ghost dare to come here on its own initiative and instead linger on the outskirts?

A moment later, Mellen found the village chief and, after questioning him, confirmed that no one in the village had been attacked by ghosts in the past few days, and the hunters who went out hunting had all returned on time.

Relieved, Mellen left Little Sand Village and found the lingering ghost. Upon seeing it, Mellen was astonished, for the ghost was none other than the red-clad female ghost with whom Mellen had a considerable connection.

"You came to see me? Is there something you need?" asked Mellen.

The woman in red moved her head, seemingly indicating that something was indeed wrong, but she was unable to express it due to her own limitations.

Mellen said, "Now that I'm strong enough to communicate with you, don't resist."

As he spoke, Mellen drew a simple talisman in the air, which then floated toward the red-clad female ghost. The red-clad female ghost trembled, but in the end she did not dodge, allowing the talisman to enter her body.

Soon the woman in red understood what Mellen meant; she could communicate with Mellen through the talismans within her body.

So the woman in red then transmitted scene after scene to Mellen.

These images, when strung together, depict a scene of numerous wooden and paper figures searching for Mellen in a thorough search. For a ghost like the woman in red, who possesses a degree of intelligence, a special paper figure comes to her door asking for information and asking her to keep an eye on Mellen, promising a generous reward if she can provide clues.

After dealing with the paper figure, the woman in red didn't dare delay and immediately came to inform Mellen.

Mellen wasn't worried about the wooden figures and paper figures, or even the manipulators behind them; he was actually quite interested in the red-clad female ghost.

"You're a ghost too, why are you helping me?" Mellen asked.

The woman in red remained silent for a moment, then transmitted images one after another...

She was a young lady from a wealthy family who rarely left her home. Once, she accompanied her parents on a trip back to their hometown to visit relatives. However, they were attacked by bandits on the way. The family servants and guards were no match for them, and her parents were killed and she was also kidnapped.

She was quite worldly-wise and knew that this situation would not end well for her, so she pretended to be weak to deceive the bandits and then escaped when they were not paying attention.

Of course, she also understood that she, a weak woman, could not possibly escape alive. Her purpose in escaping was only to seek death. After she barely found a cliff, she jumped off without hesitation.

When she regained some consciousness from her dazed state, she found herself to be a wandering ghost, and that her self-awareness was not always present, but rather intermittent.

Therefore, in order not to hurt anyone, she would only go out when she was conscious, and she would hide in advance whenever she sensed that her consciousness was about to fall into chaos.

"Remember what I said before? I can bring about change for you, it's up to you whether you want it or not," Mellen said.

The woman in red stared at Mellen for a long time before speaking: "My life was happy and peaceful in the first half, but I suffered a great change and ended up in this situation. I don't want to live, but I am unwilling to die. I can only struggle in pain. There is no worse situation than this."

Mellen slowly approached the woman in red and asked, "What's your name?"

The female ghost in red said, "I have forgotten my name, but I vaguely remember that my mother once called me... Hongxiu."

Mellen nodded slightly and said, "Hongxiu, today, I give you a new life!"

Mellen drew a complex talisman in the air, then shoved it towards Hongxiu: "Command the Gods!"

Hongxiu initially thought she was doomed because she felt the overwhelming power emanating from the talisman that could burn her to ashes. However, she was already in a state of extreme distress, and as time went by, she felt increasingly powerless and had less and less time to maintain her self-control. She might turn into a ferocious ghost at any moment.

Therefore, Hongxiu did not hide, nor did she blame Mellen. She felt that dying like this might be a good relief.

But when the talisman entered her body, the imagined deliverance, purification, and destruction did not occur. Instead, she experienced an unprecedented comfort.

It's like returning to your mother's embrace when you were a child, listening to familiar lullabies, and falling asleep peacefully.

There was no family destruction, no living in a daze, no hesitation or struggle, no despair or resentment...

It was all just a dream. When I wake up, everything will return to normal.

After an unknown amount of time, Hongxiu slowly opened her eyes, looking at everything before her with a bewildered expression.

Ghosts and humans are two completely different life forms, and their perception of the outside world is different. At this moment, Hongxiu has regained her human senses, while the ghost's senses have not disappeared.

Hongxiu looked at Melon and spoke in a clear, melodious voice like a nightingale: "Young master, what am I doing now..."

Mellen laughed and said, "You are no longer a ghost, but a god, a deity I conferred upon you using the method of divine command."

"God?" Hongxiu's eyes were still blank. Although she still didn't know what had happened, she understood that she was no longer a ghost, completely confused and in a state of madness.

Hongxiu curtsied and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask your name, sir?"

Mellen laughed and said, "Mellen, just call me Mellen."

Hongxiu shook her head and said earnestly, "Young Master helped me get rid of my confusion. This kindness is like being given a second life. I know I am powerless to repay it. I only hope to follow Young Master and serve him every day."

Mellen nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'm also a beginner in the art of commanding gods. You can stay by my side for now, so that I can intervene in time if anything happens."

This method of commanding the gods was developed by Melron by organizing Nasus's pantheon and adding talismans.

As early as when Mellen was learning talismans, he had similar ideas. When he met Hongxiu, he had already chosen her as his target. The divine initiation and the acquisition of human power filled the last piece of the puzzle, which led to the current method of commanding the gods.

It's a pity Nasus isn't here; otherwise, Melron believes the method of commanding the gods would be even more perfect. Now, Melron can only figure it out little by little on his own.

After Hongxiu had settled into her new body, Mellen asked, "Where are those wooden and paper figures that were searching for me now?"

Upon hearing Mellen's question, Hongxiu's expression changed drastically. Today's events had exceeded her expectations, and she had almost forgotten about the important matter. She hurriedly said, "Young master, you should leave the Wushan area as soon as possible. Those wooden figures and paper figures have already reached the vicinity of the dense forest, and I'm afraid they will find this place soon."
