Lan Yin talked to Shen Yijin a lot about world consciousness. Most of the things had already happened, so she only mentioned them briefly and then passed them over.
Chen Yijin digested Lan Yin's words, and then recalled the ambiguous words Lan Yin had said when they were standing on the Naihe Bridge. She asked again, "What did you mean when you said that I've completely integrated into this world?"
"Literally." Lan Yin shrugged. "He didn't look away just now. I was really stalling for time. But you won't be able to leave this world in the future anyway. You'll have completely adapted to it and have many more friends around you. This way, even if you can't return to the Xuanling Realm, your life won't be difficult, right?"
Chen Yijin always felt that Lan Yin had something else to say, but Lan Yin didn't want to say it. No matter how she asked, Lan Yin would not tell her the truth, so she gave up.
Compared to this, Shen Yijin was more concerned about another thing: "Does 'He' have any weaknesses? We don't have any bargaining chips when competing with the world consciousness."
If world consciousness was easy to deal with, the Xuanling Realm would not have merged with this world.
However, Lan Yin was unable to help in this matter: "I'm sorry, I really don't know. Although I have been sleeping in the body, He doesn't think much of me, but He won't let me know His weaknesses."
Shen Yijin expressed his understanding. After all, the incarnation of world consciousness had suffered a loss at the hands of Shen's father. With this lesson, it was normal for him to be wary of the weak forces around him.
Just as Chen Yijin was about to say goodbye and had her hand on the door, ready to push it open and go out, Lan Yin called her back.
Lan Yin: "I remember now. Most of his power comes from the shrine. From ancient times to the present, his incarnations have asked people to build his shrines all over the world. I don't know if it will be useful, but I guess that if his shrine is destroyed, his power should be weakened. You..."
Before Lan Yin could finish her words, she felt a vague gaze coming from above her head and was startled.
She swallowed the rest of her words, not knowing if the world's consciousness could see the scene in the palace, and began a new round of her performance: "The underworld is not a place for living beings. You'd better not come here again. If I see you in the underworld as a living being again, no matter why you are here, I will throw you into the Forgotten River!"
Chen Yijin knew the reason for Lan Yin's transformation, and her expression immediately changed: "Humph, forget it if you don't tell me. There are only a few tattered flowers in your underworld, and nothing else to look at. If you don't want to come, then don't come. Do you think anyone wants to come?"
As Shen Yijin spoke, he put the female ghost into his pocket, pushed open the palace door, and left angrily.
Lan Yin followed him out of the palace and stood at the doorway, shouting, "You'd better remember what you said today. Next time, if the ghost catches you entering the underworld through the passage to the underworld without permission, I will throw you into the Eighteen Levels of Hell first, torture you to your heart's content, and then throw you into the Forgetful River. I mean what I say!"
Shen Yijin seemed to be angry, and walked into the passage without looking back. She quickened her pace, wanting to return to the human world as soon as possible.
Only after Chen Yijin walked away and the gazes from above her head disappeared did Lan Yin breathe a sigh of relief.
A ghost messenger heard her cry and cautiously approached to ask, "Sir, will we send Miss Shen Yijin directly to the Eighteenth Level of Hell if we see her from now on?"
"Why should I send her a gift? If you see her again, just treat her as air. You didn't see anything!" Lan Yin was very annoyed because of the glances cast by the world consciousness from time to time. Now that the genius came over to ask such a question, she immediately took her anger out on him.
The ghost felt wronged but did not dare to redress his grievances. He hesitated for a long time and finally said nothing and retreated respectfully.
Shen Yijin returned to his body and thought about it. He felt that it was not safe to talk on the phone, so he went to the special department and found Yi Shu.
After telling Yishu about the shrine, Shen Yijin originally intended for Yishu to have his men destroy the shrine right away, but she unexpectedly heard Yishu say that the special department had started working on the destruction of the shrine after that meeting.
Yishu: "We've discovered these shrines before, at various locations where disasters have occurred. At the time, we weren't sure what they were, so we turned them all in for research. After a meeting, we determined the shrines were of little value and that the disasters were most likely caused by them, so we destroyed them all. But we didn't expect them to be so widespread. We thought there were only a few."
Now most of the people in the special departments go out to the places where sudden disasters occur to look for similar shrines nearby, but there is no clear address, and the matter of the shrine cannot be publicized widely, so the work of destroying the shrine is not easy to carry out.
"These shrines should be in places with more spiritual energy. The machine that detects the concentration of spiritual energy should have a similar principle to the machine that extracts spiritual energy, right? You can make a machine that detects the concentration of spiritual energy. This should make it easier to find the shrines." Chen Yijin gave Yishu a suggestion.
Yi Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I'll have Master Zhao and the others do it right away!"
Without stopping for a moment, she immediately called Master Zhao to tell them about this.
Taking advantage of the call from Yi Shu, Chen Yijin told Master Zhao and the others about some of the characteristics of the insect eaters that he had just heard from Lan Yin, hoping to provide some help for their experiments.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yijin saw that Yi Shu looked a little distressed, so she asked casually, "What's wrong?"
Then, she received a bunch of complaints from Yishu: "It's easy to deal with this shrine in China, but how do we deal with it abroad? They definitely won't believe what our diplomats say. They might even think that the shrine is something precious. It's difficult for our people to act abroad..."
Chen Yijin felt her head was about to explode when she heard Yi Shu complain.
She quickly called a halt and tried to find another solution for Yishu: "You refused to take over the spirit cats before, but in this situation, it's most appropriate to let them go."
The appearance of civet cats is similar to that of ordinary cats, except that they have more hair, which makes them look more beautiful, but civet cats can conceal these characteristics. They are very powerful, not affected by the international environment, and can sense the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy on their own, so it is perfect for them to find the shrine.
Shen Yijin said, “I can lend the civet cats to the special department, but you have to pay them, otherwise they probably won’t cooperate.”
Yishu immediately agreed: "That's no problem!"
"There's one thing. You said He occasionally glances over here. Will He notice we're destroying His shrine? Do you have any way to prevent Him from sensing our movements?"
Destroying one or two shrines is not a big problem, but if the shrines are destroyed on a large scale, the world consciousness will definitely notice and become angry. At that time, let alone killing the world consciousness, humans may become extinct early.
