Chapter 136 Madness and Chaos

Chapter 136 Madness and Chaos

Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing followed Shen Congran's steps and, after passing through a hazy, chaotic world, returned to the instance world.

It seems that not only do her words possess special abilities, but she can also travel through space at will.

Rong Yi silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Upon arriving in the instance world, Shen Congran frowned, his handsome brows furrowing. "The aura is very chaotic; it seems things have indeed been in disarray for some time."

With a wave of her hand, Rong Yi felt the world become much clearer, and perhaps it was just his imagination, but the air seemed fresher as well.

"It seems we won't need these." Rong Yi took out the talisman he had drawn. If there were no ghosts, this would be meaningless to beings on the physical level.

Upon hearing this, Shen Congran turned around and saw the talisman in her hand. "Can I take a look?"

“Of course.” Rong Yi handed it to her, then looked at Wei Yanqing, who simply shrugged.

Rong Yi: "We followed the book's description and discovered that even without yellow paper and cinnabar, white paper and red ink would suffice."

Shen Congran smiled and said, "It's not that white paper and red ink are effective, but rather that the energy of the rules has been infused into it, but the amount is very small, and the majority is your own energy."

In her eyes, Rong Yi's whole body was burning with red flames, and something was suppressing these energies at his heart. The same energy was flowing in the talisman, which was obviously transmitted by Rong Yi.

Shen Congran continued, "This world should be saving itself. It shouldn't have any connection with the Ghost Realm, because the creatures here have very little energy, not enough for the souls of humans to remain in the mortal world after death."

After she spoke, Wei Yanqing asked, "Then who exactly are you, why did you come here, and how did you tell that we are not from this world?"

Shen Congran toyed with the talisman in his hand, lost in his memories, and said softly, "Because I have also encountered a situation similar to yours."

The two invited Shen Congran to their temporary residence, where many players were still staying, but they were all outside at the moment, probably still reeling from the disappearance of the Ghost Realm.

“Every world that is born must perish. Some perish physically, while others, like the Ghost Realm, perish in terms of their rules. When a world perishes, the beings there do not die, but instead condense into an astonishing number of ghosts. The energy of the entire world is transformed into ghost crystals, which allows them to retain consciousness. I have recently been investigating these perished worlds and have just happened to come to the Ghost Realm where you are. As for my identity, you can understand me as someone who specifically manages souls.”

Hearing Shen Congran's words, Rong Yi pushed the brewed tea in front of her, "Then what you said is similar to what we encountered. Is it that there are still such things in the outside world where people are tied up and forced to do missions?"

Shen Congran took a sip of tea and nodded, "Yes, but the situation is better where we are, and it has already been resolved."

Wei Yanqing: "Can your abilities resolve our situation?"

Shen Congran put down his teacup. “To be honest, it’s entirely possible, but…” he changed the subject. “I can see that your affairs have nothing to do with me. I can’t break through these ties and arbitrarily enter into other causes and effects. If I did that, it would be very bad for me and for you beings who are caught up in it.”

Wei Yanqing completely gave up on asking about this and sat aside quietly drinking tea.

Rong Yi sighed inwardly, when suddenly a sizzling sound rang in her ears, almost as if it were coming from her head. She covered her ears, "What's going on?" She felt like she had gone deaf.

Wei Yanqing, standing beside him, was the same.

Shen Congran sighed, shook his head, snapped his fingers, and the strange phenomenon between the two disappeared.

“I should go now. The people behind your ‘show’ are getting anxious. Fortunately, things here have been resolved, and the rest is up to them to heal themselves.”

Rong Yi remembered the token she had given him. "You really aren't taking this with you?" As he spoke, he covered his ear with one hand, as if afraid of hearing that jarring noise again.

Shen Congran stood up, the token floating in her hand before suddenly piercing into Rong Yi's brow. Wei Yanqing immediately activated his mental power.

Shen Congran blocked his surging spiritual power with one hand, "It wasn't me. The token automatically chose her."

Wei Yanqing turned to look at Rong Yi, who was still in a daze, touching her forehead. "I didn't feel uncomfortable, and then... wow! I saw the ghost realm."

The ghost realm was right before her eyes; she could look wherever she wanted.

As her gaze rose higher, she saw the entirety of the Ghost Realm: a gigantic, gray planet surrounded by no stars or neighboring planets, only endless meteorites swirling around it.

"Is everything settled?"

Suddenly, a stranger's voice came from inside the room. Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing saw a man appear in front of them quite abruptly.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, with deep-set features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a wildness mixed with ferocity. But when he saw Shen Congran, his entire aura softened, and he casually put his arm around her waist.

Shen Congran took his hand and said, "It's all settled." She then said to the two of them, "My boyfriend Feng Yichen, thank you for the tea. We're leaving now. Hope to see you again someday. Also, you have half an hour left to block the spying on you."

What can they say to someone with that kind of strength? Of course, they just wave goodbye.

After saying goodbye to the two, Feng Yichen said in a low voice, "That woman is like a sun that could explode at any moment. It's too risky to get in touch with her."

Shen Congran: "It wasn't intentional, it's just that I happened to be there at this point, it's fate. It's a pity that the token didn't choose me."

Wei Yanqing sat opposite Rong Yi, staring at her. Rong Yi raised an eyebrow: "What?"

"You can completely control the Ghost Realm?" Wei Yanqing asked.

Rong Yi nodded, "Yes, while you were talking to Miss Chen, I had already crushed the Ghost King. Its ghost crystal was incredibly powerful." As he spoke, a ghost crystal the size of a melon appeared in his palm. It possessed the strength of a sixth-tier high-level ghost crystal, but it was gone just like that because she had completely taken control of the Ghost Realm.

The gray text flashed wildly, and Rong Yi clearly sensed its craving.

Even Wei Yanqing, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but swallow hard. "How many ghost crystals are inside?"

Even the Ghost King could vanish in an instant because of her, let alone other lesser ghosts.

“There are many, I can’t count them all, but I will keep the souls for you.” As for the ghost crystals, she doesn’t plan to touch them.

Shen Congran didn't seem to continue the conversation with her at the time, but when they were talking to Wei Yanqing, Shen Congran's voice appeared in her mind, saying that this planet still had a chance to regain its vitality, and that chance was in her hands.

Rong Yi needed the energy crystals, but she had hands and feet and didn't have the mind to extinguish the planet's last bit of energy.

Wei Yanqing remained calm about the possibility that Rong Yi might possess tens of billions or even more ghost crystals. To him, obtaining so many soul bodies for free was something that no amount of energy stones could buy.

"I'll cover all the big meals for the rest of your life, and you'll get five percent of the energy stones you get from each dungeon."

He's only at Tier 3 strength now, and there will be many more dungeons to play with in the future, so this percentage will remain the same.

Rong Yi clapped his hands. "OK, then I want to have mushroom soup tonight, the kind with meat."

Wei Yanqing: "No problem."

Once you enter the instance, you'll be constantly running back and forth, with little time to sit down.

Rong Yi clapped his hands again, "By the way, the Ghost Realm is over, so what about this instance?"

The second daughter is currently searching for worlds that still have some energy left, hoping to revitalize this dying planet, but Pai Pai didn't choose her.
