I carried everyone to a makeshift underground palace, constructed entirely using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical technique), which was very convenient. Inside, I imprisoned the Kabuto-like spirit I had captured from Maoshuo's house.

Although it was a barrier I casually created, it was something he couldn't break through. He tried various methods all night, but couldn't get out.

Finally, exhausted, he gave up and sat dejectedly inside the barrier. When he saw me, he excitedly spoke a lot of Dongyi language.

I didn't understand a single word. Although learning a foreign language is nothing for me now—the more skilled you are, the stronger your memory—it's not difficult at all to learn a foreign language by rote memorization.

But I just don't want to learn. If anyone is going to learn, it'll be them learning Chinese to communicate with me. If they don't want to, then I'll just cut it off.

If we cut off all those who don't want to speak Chinese, then everyone will speak the same language, and there will be no barrier to communication. I looked at Jia Dou, who was speaking Dongyi dialect to me in front of me.

Without wasting words with him, I immediately began scanning his entire body with my divine sense, and then used my true essence to probe his body from the inside out.

I didn't pay attention to anything during the process; I was being relentlessly tormented by a higher level of energy within my body.

For him, it was like torture, causing him so much pain that he wanted to die.

But his life and death are no longer in his own hands. Whether he dies or not depends on when I'm done playing with him. While I was tossing and turning, I discovered this thing in front of me.

Essentially, it's a cursed spirit attached to an object, but it also carries a trace of the way of offering incense, aspiring to become a tsukumogami.

The object that is possessed must be something that someone has longed for and entrusted with, and then it becomes a tsukumogami (a spirit possessed by a cursed spirit) when it is accidentally parasitized by a cursed spirit.

To put it bluntly, calling him a god isn't wrong; he truly is a deity in essence. I tried to refine him again using my own strength.

They significantly improved the quality of his armor, using parts cut from the body of an evil god.

They refined his body a bit more, added some abilities to him with talismans and emblems, and finally conferred a title upon him with a sacrificial inscription.

It made him feel like he was living a life worse than death. It's like someone smashed all the bones in your body before pulling them out.

Afterwards, they replaced it with a new steel one, without any anesthesia.

If it weren't for his truly unwavering will, I might have lost this wonderful toy. In the end, I even used the Human Path to give him the ability to absorb fear.

This is even more powerful than the "fear" that the Dongyi people themselves practice. It directly transforms fear into combat power. When facing him, those who are filled with fear can never defeat him.

Looking at the newly sprouted Acerola rhizomes before me, I felt quite happy. Although it was a lot of messing around, the final result was excellent.

Now that they're going to give him a new name, "Kui Xing," he can only nod and accept it.

Moreover, he can speak Chinese, but he just didn't want to before. After seeing my attitude, he has now changed his tune.

If he doesn't speak Chinese soon, I'll erase his memory and reshape his personality. Whether I can actually do it or not, I've definitely scared him.

I didn't even leave him a contract. If he dares to disobey and try to run away, I'll kill him in a heartbeat.

Then he was ordered to go and help Tamamo-no-Mae and the others, as Kui-sei's current strength was quite strange.

Because he possesses the so-called divine physique, if more people fear him, he could potentially reach the fifth realm. Currently, he has only barely reached the early stage of the fourth realm.
