Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
The little mirror felt wronged, but it couldn't help but start to reflect on itself. How could it be so useless? The six masters had so many divine artifacts, and it wasn't just him who had gained sentience, yet they chose him and gave him an important task.
How could he not even fulfill such a small request from an adult?
For a moment, the little mirror began to doubt itself.
[You better think carefully about how to send these transmigrators back. I believe not everyone is a bad person who wants to possess other people's bodies. There must be some who desperately want to go back, after all, they are not from this world, and they also have family and friends they cherish.]
Once Fang Ruotang learned of this matter, she could not allow these people to remain in this plane of existence.
Let alone the fact that the Heavenly Dao, once awakened, would not tolerate them.
Even Fang Ruotang couldn't accept this kind of thing.
Imagine if one day someone possessed her body and, taking advantage of her family's doting love, endlessly harmed her family. She would really go crazy, wishing she could tear her body apart and rush out to perish together with the soul that possessed her body.
Okay! I'll do some research and see if there's a method that suits your current situation.
The little mirror clenched its fist in Fang Ruotang's sea of consciousness, and countless scenarios from different dimensions flashed through his mind.
But there are too many dimensions, and even a small mirror is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not so easy to find the answer, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
[Or we could just kill her.]
【Um? 】
Here, take this.
【What's this? 】
【The Emperor's Banner, if you wave it at Wan'er, you can capture her soul within it.】
[That's amazing?]
Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded, flipping through a flag in her hand.
The flag looked rather strange, covered in runes she couldn't understand.
[This is nothing. You just jump into the air, wave your hand, and you can absorb everyone in this entire plane into the banner and refine them.]
Fang Ruotang dropped the Emperor's Banner in horror, and the rest of the Fang family tacitly hid on either side of her, keeping as far away from the eerie banner as possible.
[This weapon is made by refining human souls? Could it be a good thing?]
The Human Emperor Banner has two sides, Yin and Yang, depending on how the user uses it. The Yin side is the Myriad Souls Banner, possessing strong Yin energy, capable of imprisoning and refining the souls of the living within, thereby enhancing the holder's cultivation and power. The Human Emperor Banner, on the other hand, can save all living beings, increase lifespan, and the souls it absorbs will be absolutely loyal to you. After being nurtured, souls can be resurrected in prepared bodies, possessing 80% of their former strength. Moreover, you can share the vision of the released souls at any time, and your consciousness can enter the Human Emperor Banner at any time. The Human Emperor Banner's space is infinitely vast, forming its own world.
Fang Ruotang's expression changed instantly. She ran up happily, picked up the Emperor's Banner, and held it in her arms like a treasure.
"This is such a wonderful thing! Why didn't you say so sooner! Does this mean that even if I can't find that many rare and precious materials, it's okay to cleanse the spiritual roots of everyone in my family, right? After they die, I'll collect their souls and, when I find suitable materials, reshape their physical bodies?"
That's true, but once they're recruited into the Emperor's Banner, they'll become your most loyal subordinates, utterly incapable of resisting you. You could even eliminate them with a single thought.
[Besides being loyal to me, do they retain memories of their lives and possess their own thoughts?]
[It has memories and thoughts, but it can't muster the slightest resistance to you, even though it was your mortal enemy before you took it in.]
Fang Ruotang's eyes widened, her face beaming with joy.
Then he immediately asked Madam Fang.
"Grandmother, if one day I do my best but still cannot extend the life of your body, I have another way to give you life again. The price is that I will brand your soul, so that you will never have the will to resist me again, and you will be loyal to me and obey my orders. Are you willing?"
"I'm willing!" Old Madam Fang's face showed a loving smile that seemed out of place with her appearance.
"Grandmother could not possibly have done anything to harm my sixth son, so she is naturally not afraid of having your mark on her soul."
“But I can share your vision at any time, and I could take your life with a single thought, but I certainly won’t do that. As for whether there are any other possibilities, I don’t know for the time being.” Fang Ruotang was very obedient and told him what she knew about the Human Emperor Banner for the time being.
Madam Fang patted Fang Ruotang's head.
"Grandma believes in you, you'll be fine with anything!"
Hehe, hehe!
Fang Ruotang was satisfied, then tilted her head to look at the others.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Despite the apparent restrictions, the Fang family felt no such limitations. Even without the brand, they wouldn't do anything to harm Xiao Liu.
As for Xiao Liu, if one wanted to harm them, there was no way to do everything possible to preserve their souls and reshape their bodies; one could simply watch their lives come to an end.
"Big sister, you don't need to! Once your brother-in-law's soul returns to its rightful place, as long as he still loves you, he will come looking for you and sign a contract with you. Then you can share everything with him."
Fang Ruotang winked at Fang Shengtang with a grin.
Fang Shengtang gave her a reproachful look.
[Is this Human Emperor Banner something I can only use, or can I give it to someone else? Can I give it to my older sister? That way, when she goes to the Immortal Realm with Yu Sheng, she'll have the ability to protect herself and won't be looked down upon.]
Upon hearing Fang Ruotang's words, Fang Shengtang was stunned, and his eyes instantly reddened.
The other members of the Fang family were only surprised for a moment before they got used to it.
[The Human Emperor Banner can only freely collect the souls of ordinary people! For cultivators, you at least have to beat them up before you can take them in! Otherwise, it's too overpowered; waving it on someone would make them invincible!]
[Furthermore, you'd better not give it to your eldest sister. The Human Emperor Banner is too powerful; it forms its own faction, all of which obey you. You are essentially the Emperor of the Underworld. Your eldest sister's strength is insufficient, and having such a powerful item in her possession could be a death knell for her. After all, you can't protect her every hour of the day.]
"Oh, I see! Alright! We'll talk about it after my older sister's strength improves, or perhaps there are other good magic weapons suitable for her?"
[Good magical treasures, once revealed, will attract unwanted attention, and could even cost you your life. It's better for your older sister to carry more life-saving treasures than more offensive ones. After all, as long as she retains a sliver of her soul for you to find, you can revive her. If you're really worried about her, before she goes to the Immortal Realm, brand her soul with a mark so you can immediately sense any harm she might suffer and rush to her rescue.]
[That seems like a good idea! Do you have any life-saving magic weapon? Hand it over!]
Fang Ruotang accepted Xiao Jingzi's explanation and then, like a thief, began to rob.
