Li Shu watched everything through the perspective of the paper figurine. She rolled over and continued to sleep without opening her eyes. When she had given Li Kexin the talisman, she had clearly instructed her not to remove it at any time to keep her safe. But she refused to listen and insisted, leaving her with no recourse. Now that Li Xin had control of the body and had secretly replaced the talisman, there was little chance of Li Kexin reappearing unless Li Xin let Li Kexin out or reattached her talisman to her. Li Xin had been tricked before and must remain vigilant. Secretly replacing the talisman would be nearly impossible. If Li Xin sensed something was wrong and vanished, the clue would be lost. Li Shu yawned. Li Kexin had been the only person to show kindness to the real Li Shu, and now she was acting in Li Shu's name, a form of karma. Therefore, she treated Li Kexin well, giving her the life-saving talisman to settle the karma. But Li Kexin removed the talisman herself, putting herself in danger once again. If she were to take action again, she would be actively provoking this karma. Carrying karma for others is foolish. Especially for those in the Xuanmen sect, karma is even more unbearable. One misstep could lead to eternal damnation. She and Li Kexin had no such bond, leaving her to shoulder karma for him. The only person in this world who could bear karma for her was her unreliable master. That old man had shouldered the karma of death for her. She had risked her life to fight for herself and the world. Who knew what that old man was doing now? Li Shu lost her sleep, thinking of her master. Of the time she had traveled with him. Those days, with the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed, were truly hard. But they were also rare times of happiness for her. Whenever she thought of them, a hint of warmth would rise in her cold heart. "Old man, you can't be so stubborn when I'm not around. You must wait until I return," Li Shu muttered. Then she sighed. That old man was stubborn, and she had to find a way to contact him. If he dared to disobey her, she would explode the Chaos Sphere and put an end to it. Humph. She wasn't one to be trifled with either. Li Shu blinked, thinking back to the countless times her master had been so angry she'd jumped up and down. He was so old, his hair all white, and yet, in a fit of rage, he'd chased her across three mountains. That was quite impressive. Never mind, I couldn't sleep anyway, so I decided to find something to do. Li Shu shook her head, clearing away the heavy thoughts in her mind. She sat up in the darkness, thought for a moment, and then retrieved the Starving Ghost from the Ghost Building. It was still early. The room was set up with a formation, making it safe. She decided to try to understand the Starving Ghost's devouring principles. Since she'd sacrificed her life to enter the game, her profound strength had barely grown. The conditions in Area 11 weren't suitable for cultivation, so she could only accumulate merit and convert it into profound strength to strengthen herself. However, she first had to use merit to prolong her life, and then she had to use it to maintain the Chaos Sphere. There was simply no excess merit to enhance her profound strength. Coming to this world, it wasn't suitable for cultivation, and she dared not waste her accumulated merit. Those rats hiding in the darkness would sooner or later attack the Chaos Ball, so she had to save her merit for a rainy day. This was essentially a stalemate. But the Starving Ghost's Devouring Law held the promise of breaking this impasse. She had to try, no matter what. If successful, her strength could soar. Failure... a law was a deadly weapon; she could avoid using it, but being unable to use it was useless. She had to comprehend it first, and the rest would wait for the results. With her mind made up, Li Shu used her fingers as swords, drawing talismans in the air and striking the Starving Ghost. Mysterious golden symbols materialized around Li Shu, enveloping both her and the Ghost. The golden symbols vibrated in unison and began to spin around them, their speed increasing. In the end, Li Shu and the Starving Ghost were no longer visible, only a ball of golden light.
